Bunnies! Who's afraid of bunnies?Demonic bunnies, anyone? TERRORISM ABOARD 153 Yesterday, I hopped on the bus, home-bound yet again from Heartland Mall. I went straight up to the upper deck, and began to choose a seat. Now, choosing a seat is not as easy as it seems. No no, it's not so simple as say, ooh look! Empty Seat. Walk to empty seat Sit. Done. I've made that kind of mistakes before, paying for them dearly. Once, sat on a seemingly harmless seat, then discovered foot was stuck in someone's spat( or saliva, or disgusting bacteria filled amylase filth). My feelings then? Simple. EWWWYUCK! Almost had that same mishap again in another incident. Saw shimmering silver bubbly liquid on seat. Thought it was ink. Sister alerted me, said was saliva. Non related schoolboy with huge schoolbag sat down on the liquid. Went home with spit stained bag on the underside. Horrors of HORRORS!!! What possessed this young boy to sit down without even looking??!! Anyway, I'm digressing. Seriously, disgustingly digressing. Alright, back to the main point. I finally picked out a seat, and sat down. First bad omen- Crashed head on bus ceiling. (You know the extremely low ceiling where the air con is? Yar, there) Pain. Very painful. But it's alright. I sat down, with my head in my hands. Then, out of nowhere( or somewhere in front) flew a tiny little insect. Black, with its tiny little legs. It may have been 5mm long, but still, it managed to FREAK ME OUT. Did I mention, anywhere to anyone, that insects are creepy? They look like creatures minding their own business, just crawling and flying in their own "free will". (Bet someone used his or her hand to shoo it in my direction). I don't know why, but they, like super strong hair gel, have the power to make my hair stand. There I was, minding my own business. It JUST had to land on the glass panel next to me. It JUST had to crawl up and down and up again on the panel. And it JUST had to stay there. If I didn't know better, that sleazeball of a bug was playing mindgames with me. Somehow, it knew I couldn't kill it ( WHat? And dirty my pretty lil' hands with it?). It knew that I was outplayed, outwited and would, pretty much be outlasted. I can just hear it "Aie aie oh aie oh aie oh aie ah,aie aie oh aie oh aie ah", nope, it's not an extended version of Singlish in a song, but the Survivor theme song. And before I am finally free from its clutches, (reached my bus stop...) it gave me its last revenge. I hit my head on the low ceiling again in a strange deja-vu manner when i was standing up to exit the bus. Disclaimer: Writer suffered a tiny weeny bump on head, hence became slightly heavy-headed and disorientation. Hence, became obsessed with tiny insect. Tiny obsession morphed whem writer suffered yet another bump. Insect did not possessed powers. Were of writer's own illusions and fabrications. But insect was there. Insect was not harmed in the process because of writer's self restrain. For that we applaud the writer.

So, on thursday, I was officially a graduated (if there's such a word) student of Serangoon Junior College. And a 4-time winner of 4 different awards at the graduation award presentation. (If you got it, flaunt it!) First, most improved for mathematics, and best performance in Economics. Then a LTC plaque and finally a "MOST OUTSTANDING STUDENT LEADER AWARD." You may not be able to see me, but I'm brimming with pride.The best part of it is that I won the "Most Outstanding Student Leader" Award along with Charlene although i have to admit "Damn you, char, for getting silver!" You see, I got a bronze. But oh well, it was great standing on stage together with your closest friend, I must say. Quite an experience. Even more so when on stage you get to see 3 people from the 2nd floor waving hysterically at you. Gao Fei and 2 others which i'm still trying to guess who. Pop Quiz: If a song or two don't break you down and make you bawl your eyes out during graduation, what will?
