my dear

my thighs have been aching like a troll after my friend's paintball party.

i've been groaning and moaning myself
down stairs and up stairs

in a vain effort to ease the pain.

but all it does is garner some sympathetic looks from passer-bys.

the other day my right leg buckled under me when i was in the ladies

and i nearly fell into the toilet bowl.

i'm glad i didn't

it wouldn't have been much fun i think.

conned

i have been soooooooo busy this week it's been craazy!

so anyway, Mr. Man was there again when I got down the bus

and he talked me into buying a squashed cone of cotton candy for half-price.

Mr. Man

This is Mr. Man

he is probably the coolest dude along Sin Ming road.

Sometimes, just sometimes, 

when I get back early from school

he'll be there,

surrounded by a gaggle of girls

(and the occasional fat boy)

buying odd snacks and cone after cone of ice-cream.

Sometimes they have it with rainbow bread,

but mostly they stick to a cone or cup.

It takes some skill to be master of The-Melting-Ice-Cream-In-The-Bread!

I bought a 'mixed one' from him for a gold coin,

and a packet of (slightly squashed) pink cotton candy.

I like a nice sweet start to my afternoon :)

P.S The hunt for Monsieur is over. 

rat with potato

hello. they call me The Rat

but i prefer to be called Monsieur

 i really have to go on a diet soon. maybe atkins?

the other night i climbed up a tabletop and ate a whole loaf of gardenia bread (sans 4 slices)

and for starters today i gnawed half a potato.

they are putting up all these sticky foul-smelling trays on the ground.

i don't know what they're for, really.

i wouldn't even dream of scurrying near those things.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

smells like chicken stew tonight

POP-POP POP-POP

My dad's pal Uncle Xavier took me on a short joy ride on his Harley Davidson after church.

It was sooooooooooo great!

glut

this is me

stuffing myself with fries and milo at lucky plaza's macs.

trombones! trumpets! french horn!

I joined our school's brass band!

Now we are a band of 6

with 2 trombones,

2 trumpets,

1 french horn and

1 euphonium!

I'm terrible at hitting notes

and the sound which my trumpet produces isn't pure at all,

but it is SO much fun to make music with friends :)

P.S Happy 20th to you, Su! Thank you for always loving and being here for me.
