Other than the usual colourful kites that add contrast against the white clouds, the outdoor loud bass speakers now add the audio effects and there are kids playing bubbles, huge jenga and pick up sticks
occupy a small corner of the vast green pasture.
N finally got our kite up. Waiting for the ventriloquist performance before the sun sets. Nice sunday to laze ard, n pple watch too. Celebration of play.
Quite similar to bang. But more rules. V thinking type of game. Mind games, we played the max no of players. 1 诸公，3 忠臣，4 反贼，2 内奸。mind games, the time at which u reveal ur role is critical, the alliance of various characters determine the destiny too. Complicating as compared to the games such as catan and monopoly deal. So first exposure till 4am. How did i manage to keep my mind awake i dont know. If nt for the new game mates, i cld have jus concussed. Of cos being as, initially had great inertia in mtging new pple, well thats how it all begins. Should be better the next round when im familiarised with the cards. Kudos to the game teacher, organised way of carryin out the tutorial, he shld really work in settlers cafe haha. Tks for hosting!
Time for the camera clicking. Shyashin o tori mashyo. Let's take photos together. There r some who like to take solo pic, n some jus do not like to be in the photos. It is true that if pics r taken without pple, then it's like a postcard. Well, i do not enjoy asking pple to take for me, either half thinking they will run away with my camera or they wont take nice photos anyway. Somewhere in the photo will be cropped.
So if i were to hold a gallery of my own pics, maybe not many. Or there will be many big head shots after i learned the skill of self taking photos, fast n accurate, else if i keep trying at the spot, kind passer bys will come offering to help. fortunate to get candid shots from 2 wedding events. Thanks for sending me. One self taken in dubai airport, obviously too bored during the 3 hr transit, one really dunno who took that. i'd rather be the photographer to capture the candid shots, like many galleries or photography conpetition, variety of expressions n events. Mankind, despite all having 2 eyes 1 nose n 1 mouth, all look different, actually no. Other than identical twins, i've many times receive queries if i was at this n that place,n also comments that there's someone who really looks like u. Do i have a common face? N well, when i look at the person myself, i dont find that we look similar. Looks n appearance interpretation.
Cool frame, will not happen in real life. A narcissistic gallery of self portraits.
N today finally got to get this once in a lifetime's experience. Honestly, will not try it again. gimmicky but take it as an achievement.
Level of spiciness, got to witness it, 1- 10 on the menu, waiter mentioned 35 as the highest level, saw on hall of fame with 25, 30 and 35.
Tongue tantalising. Really hats off to the marinating sauce. The spiciness seeps right to the last cell. I removed the sauce on the outer layer, get the what-seems-to-be edible part out n mix with tartar n ketchup and still.... Numbed my tongue and the inner cheeks, can feel my lips turning into sausages. Beyond words to describe. It's the lingering aftertaste that kills. Continued secretion of saliva. I can feel the pores on my scalp expanding and really feel every strand of the hair standing. The heat near the ears is as if there's steam bursting out from both ears. Now i understand why cartoon is drawn this way, the cartoonist must haf experienced it in order to portray the feeling accurately. The stomach is simply burning. Mild dizzy spells. Indescribable experience.
So got the cert for accomplishing it. 8 aug. Wat a nice date. prepared to celebrate national day in the toilet. Worked the stomach too much. As we were leaving, someone asked us to try his, cos he cant finish, he was like eating them right down to the bones using hands. I suggested him to use fork n knife and try to remove the sauce as much as possible. Crazy guy so onz. I only managed one out of the half a dozen. He has to eat all 6 on his own, his wife also asked us to help but sry really cant. Good luck.
Back to the fundamentals. luck n speed or substance. Had a tough game of badminton yesterday, for using my left hand to play continuously for a significant amt of time. Haven been training it for a long time as it will most probably irritate my frens on the other side of the court. They often regard it as belittling. But obviously not! Use it at times, only to substitute my right hand when it needs a rest. Felt pekcek, why isnt my left hand as strong as my right hand? Psychomotor as well, in terms of direction control. Handicapped. Perhaps worked some of the undeveloped part of the brain tho.
Next, realised that the linkages might have formed across the wrong synapses.
Lucky me to come across this quote which describes my mind dysfunction. Require luck for speed, or maybe not enough substance. Haiz.
~ The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. ~
Haven been making much sense lately do i? Seek for serendipity.
