Old

Wow.How crazy has the weather been?Even dressed in a plain tee & shorts,I come back drenched in sweat after having to bat countless flies away and constantly look down to avoid the sun's glare,dying for a shower.But the extreme heat and volatile weather welcomes a summer thirst for adventure,and coupled with the newfound post-exam spirit of freedom & ease,the past two weeks have been good.

(On our way for some ice-cream at Freddo's)

O: (Talking about something to do with global warming and how the ice in Antarctica's being sold off as land,but melting off real quick)
A: Tsk,sad.
O: I hope they still have some.
A: Yea,I'm craving for some Durian too.
O: I'm talking about the ICE.
A: ...CREAM.
O: No, Antartica.
A: Oh.

There's this song by Velvet Underground,'Heroin'-it's just so unnerving,that this morning when I put it on while frying eggs for breakfast,a couple tears actually fell into the pan.I've heard the song a hundred times,but everytime I hear it I pick up or sense something completely new.Even when I know all the words to the song and all the kooks and corners and when they appear,it's still one heck of a ride and it never sounds old.And I'm sure you can say the same for some other stuff-relationships,memories,encounters.There's more to discover from the ventured path,always in our haste to get to somewhere else,to grow faster,to take in and experience more of the new and continually stride further,we miss the fine details-the smell,the texture,the taste,the feel-the parts of an experience that truly defines it's individuality.

Ramblings of a bored,possibly deranged teen.Oh,Letterman's going to be on soon.Have a great week,everyone.
