The HDB Heartlands..
On a slightly less serious note.. =D
Was studying at home this afternoon (hey, the CA's only in 3 day's time) alone, since everybody else was out at work.. Just sat down at my table after reading the papers, when I heard this soft sound..
* Ever looked out the windows these few days? Yepz. It ALWAYS rains in the afternoon - even though it stops for an hour or so, it periodically starts and stops all the way till sun sets. *
Yah, coming back to my story, so I peered up from my patho notes, and saw the rain drops starting to fall on my mom's nice soon-to-be-dry-laundry hanging outside on the bamboo poles, hopped up, and ran for the kitchen!
After quickly skewing all 6 bamboos safely back in the kitchen, I peered out and realised that I was the only one who had noticed the silent rainfall, for the other household's laundry bamboos were still hanging out in the rain, kinda damp by now..
So I stood there for a second, wondering if I should be kind and hao3 xin1, you know? Well, new year mah, must be nice to people rite? Haha.. So I pulled back the aluminium window grills, stuck my head out of my comfortable 2nd-storey flat, and yelled out,
"xia4 yu3 le4!!"
(translation: raining already!! Crap. I need to get some Chinese language writing programme.)
And then I quickly stuck my head back in, while peering up to see if there was anybody rushing to grab their clothes.
10 seconds.
30 seconds.
1 minute.
2 minute.
Not even a stir!!! Sheesh. So mah-lu-ating!!! Guess the old "kampong spirit" that HDB hopes to foster in the HDB "heartlands" is still sorely lacking.
As for me, I'm never gonna do that again!!!! =P
