crow nest, marvelous days and fire engines

this rain reminded me of 1977. it was 540pm and the sky had been darkened by rain clouds. the art teacher came to the class with a big canvas painting of a fire rescue scene. we were told to render this art piece as our last lesson for the day.

the lites in the classroom remain off, all the students knew in 20mins we'll hear the bell and it's time for home. i felt the eagerness to complete this task but time was not on our side. we left the classroom dissatisfied .... even til this day, still haunted by the event, 19 years later.

it's $16, $8, $4 to duplicate 3 respective keys at Mister Minit. i chose to have the cheapest duplicate first. 2day at holland village, it's $10, $2, $1 to duplicate the 3 keys by the cobbler / keymaster. i had the other 2 keys done 2day.

the rain subsides but memory lingers. the haunting of a fire rescue scene painting.


a crow family has setup a nest on a tree outside my room. they tend to wake me up when i want another late morning. hope the rain dont disrupt the birth.


monday nites between 1988 - 1995 i would go comic shops. it's shipment nite. the conversion rate were USD1 = SGD1.5 . this is my current 360 game, nice memories of marvelousity.
