Did I mention that I love rainy days, where the weather is so nice and cool. Just breathe in the crisp, fresh air which is so rejuvenating. Its on days like this that I feel so totally energetic and at my best. Even though it was pretty cold today and I was wearing a mini skirt and I didnt bring my jacket, and I was freezing my butt off, I still wish everyday could be like today.

It was like a totally great day right from the morning to the end, I feel so blissful...must be because of the weather...hehe...Met up with the group to discuss our theatres studies play...gosh, its in less than 3 weeks, and there are all the lines to memorize and all...stress,but with our great director-izzy and the help of everybody, I am sure we can finish preparing in time.

The weather was so nice today that I decided to walk home from Tiong Bahru plaza which is like a 20mins walk. To reach home, I had to cut through the hdb buildings and walk along a canal. I met with an interesting adventure along the way. Being in a rush to get home, I took a shortcut and walked along the wrong side of the canal which was supposedly closed. There must have been some barrier there which I just disregarded thinking that it would surely link to the other side. To my consternation, when I reached the end of the walkway, there was this imposing looking barricade blocking my way home-to my dinner. I considered the alternatives, which is to go back the way I came from(which is a very long walk), or to climb over the railings. It was not much of a choice, I decided on the latter. It was by the way, quite a high fence, and i had to do it with the utmost care because for one, I was wearing a skirt, and two, I am a klutz and any mistake on my part would have led to my downfall. It was no mean feat, but I ignored the stare of a few passerbys who must have thought i was mad and phew, I managed to climb over. Moral of the story, never take shortcuts, you never know where they lead to, it might have looked like it led somewhere, but things could be pretty deceptive, so just stick to the long way, at least you know thats the right way(figuratively speaking).
