I woke up wondering how short the night's sleep was and it's a Monday already!? The weekend was over even before I'd say 2hrs plus of Harry Porter was such a disappointment. Texted Phil to make sure he's up for school as it starts for him today and knowing my man's sleeping habits, I'd to double make sure he is really up and out for the 8am class.
I began to realise that my left eye stings. In the bathroom, I almost screamed at my reflection. Red and swollen left eye scared me even more when I noticed something like torn lens in the whites. I tried to wash it off unsuccessfully. Panic kicked in. Headed for the doc and enjoyed a day's worth of medical leave. I thought I'd hate this Monday. I probably only dislike it for spending quite a bit on taxi fares, grocery shopping, medical bills and a new pair of spectacles. Intended to study for my exams but rested the eyes by napping.
Exams are right up in two weeks. I only have two papers to deal with this time which I find, rather comforting. Business Finance and Stats will keep me occupied with the calculator. I prefer Stats cos I usually manage to attend the lessons and the tutor kept me interested in this subject. BF on the other hand, is my least fav. I even received a warning letter for my poor attendance. Due to work commitments, I'm usually lost in this subject. We had two tests on BF and I didn't get really terrible results which made me sad. Despite my average knowledge, I believe I'd improve and clear these papers. I call this, 'motivation is a friend of hope'.

rain, queue, durians, rambutans, cycling race in Ubin
We finally visited my fav island again. Although the intention is to fly Ophelia's kite, cycle and look out for durians since it's THE season, we realised this trip will be different the very moment we joined the long queue at the ferry terminal. There is a cycling race going on in Ubin. Who knows if we would also be caught in the race?!
Eager me and Ophelia were excitedly imagining the possibilities. We rented our rides from my regular uncle who always charge us lower and headed to our makan area where we picnic away while waiting for papa to meet us.
We went cycling with lighten load. I'd never want to cycle carrying a big bag of food prepared from home, among the cyclists who were furiously racing. Shasha got her first durian.
It was as if to race for who finds the freshly dropped durian against the other visitors. I really wonder why these people can find bags full of durians and rambutans when we found only 4, I think. None by me, of cos.. I was busy snapping pictures and cam whoring hehe. Sudden downpour caught us by surprise while we were cycling. Managed to get shelter at a resident's house.
I miss hearing the rain on the zinc tops. Watching the rain water the flowers and lush greenery simply brought smiles to my face. So pretty! I didn't see any rainbow after the rain. As usual, Ophelia and I joked and reminisced.
She was happy flying her kite cos the wind was strong and it flew higher. We were definitely surprised again when the queue for the bum boat is super long!
Managed to cam whore before it rained again!!!
haha there.. we were getting drenched while queueing patiently. We joked about people going on MCs tmw cos of he rain in Ubin. I was hoping to be one of them hehe..
