The rain. The growing crowds. Just thank God that the quake isn't anywhere near us.
You just have to agree that, for the last days of 2006, the rain doesn't show any sign of relenting. It's getting heavier. It's lasting longer. And it is making more people cuss at the weather and cheesed off.
Frankly, I don't have anything against the weather. Yes. Well, for starters, at least I'm spared of the hot and humid weather that this tropical island always "enjoys".
I hate it.
Like I said, I won't mind living in a cold, snowy place. But if you are thinking of dropping me in Saudi Arabia or Eygpt; I will, after killing you.
I just cannot stand the heat. Call me a weakling but let us see who lasts longer in Alaska.
To be frank, I love the rain. Only thing now is that I can only hope that during the O's next year, it will rain as well. The candidates should know the oh-so obvious reason.
For 2 days running, I paid the IKEA@ Tampiness a visit. Both times leaving with something.
The family got new furniture yesterday which would arrive at our doorstep at around 10 tomorrow. I just hope that the TV doesn't make a crack on the new TV bench.
Today, I, along with some LS leader, went to IKEA to buy cups. No, they aren't for partying but for the project. To be more precise, it's for some dumb, boring, labour and money-consuming experiment where we dip teeth inside the cup filled with soft drinks to see which drink is the most potent.
In short, we are just plain bored out of our wits.
Buying the drinks and cups aside, it's the extraction of the teeth from the pig's jaw that takes the bite. I asked my dad to do the hacking.
Using a hammer and a screw-driver (negative head), my dad just hacked away the lower portions of the gum and teeth.
Albeit this broke a couple of the roots of the teeth; well, at least the job was done and for my sake, I shouldn't be complaining much.
If that task was supposed to draw father and son closer together, it didn't quite had that sort of effect.
But I did find out one thing.
That is I got my temper genes from my dad.
Although he's quite the quiet sort of person, when he curse, boy you wish you were off somewhere else listening to William Hung croon "She Bangs".
Let's just not get into the "details"
IKEA's food is nice. Maybe I should consider working there next time; lest all the studying I'm doing now doesn't pay off. I mean, literally it doesn't.
I wanna sleep. Lazy ass I'm becoming.
2007 already looks so bleak(it is) and 2006 seems like such a great year. ><
