today on the way back, we got a flushed and a little wet from the rain pouring outside.

luckily the bus seemed to come miraculously almost immediately, so we were saved.

and then, soohf told me and yee yee,

'i always feel very thankful and lucky to be on the bus when it's pouring outside.'

'really?', said yee yee.

i said,

'yeah, i think so too.'

-------------------------------------

it was raining still, on my way back home, and when i reached the void deck, i saw, from under the void deck round seat, that a cat was hiding underneath it. i didn't know why but i just stood there quietly and watched it for a while. it was just there, crouching, huddling under shelter of the void deck seat, watching the rain outside.

sometimes, i feel

all [i] need is another warm body to sit next to;

do you feel that?

sometimes.

like when it's raining.

it just feels nicer to sit next to someone,

nicer than if you're sitting alone.

actually it doesn't really matter who it is,

as long as its not some middle-aged perv,

it really, really doesn't matter.

male female,

tall short,

ugly, not,

it doesn't matter.

it's because it keeps you warmer.

and somehow,

in this lonely time and age,

it gives a little comfort.

happy birthday to cik gu! =)

i must say it was a stroke of misfortune that made you really get to know me, and that i must have been the most blur and noob person who put your life [almost] in danger

[i will always remember that super-damn-scary-risky-rotating-flipping-metal-bar that almost blinded you/disfigured your most-elfish-and-handsome face! =( i am eternally indebted/guilty towards you for it. even though it wasn't intentional but it was life-endangering! but of course secretly i think some students were happy for a while cause they got to see your very handsome and nice big-wide eyes cause you couldn't wear your specs for a while. :) haha!]

but like you said,

'good friends are when they remember your birthday without facebook!'

i wish you a many happy years teaching,

and also, a love that will last a lifetime.

happy birthday, elfie!
