mooncake festival

the car stopped inches in front of me.
or at least.. i think its a few inches.

it's a long story.. really..

it started with the meeting for our AA205 project. thinking that all of us have no one to meet on a mid-autumn festival anyway,
- joy's not meeting her bf tonight
- yihui doesnt even celebrate it cos according to her culture, the real festival to carry lanterns is at the first lunar month
- danny broke up anyway
-eric doesnt have a gf (we guess, still speculating)

we decided to do our project at clarke quay.

the haze was bad, so by 7 pm i was literally tearing. eventually eric volunteered to put on his lenses and give me his lens case.

so i took one of the late trains back. at the bus interchange, i decided to take the first bus that came along cos i didnt want to be stuck in that deserted corner of the interchange with a couple of weirdos. so i took one of the buses which would land me a street away from my block.

problem was, i forgot i wasnt wearing my glasses, and.. there were no traffic lights.

so to get home, it involved straddling across a few blocks, then crossing one teeny weeny junction. all i could see were blur outlines of lights. so that's like.. well done, good luck, have a nice day.

that was when the car screeched to a halt.
and i think the driver either waved his hand to ask me to pass or waved his middle finger (i couldnt tell)

so i'm home in one piece,
and it's past twelve.
