// a blog! bits and pieces of life

Collecting dust.

It's been awfully long since I last blogged; evidently portraying the lack of noteworthy activities. On hindsight, there actually are, but procrastination goes a long way, and I haven't had the inspiration to pen down my thoughts.

In fact, so memorable was one event that will (physically) leave it's traces. It was a classic picnic with my Secondary school clique at Marina Barrage. I must say, the view there was almost fantastically boring - skeletons of the IRs mixed in with numerous construction machinery, a sight to behold! I only found respite from the greenery and miniature (from perspective) Singapore Flyer.

As with every picnic, there is food. Herein lies the great devastation: the fruit salad that I had so lovingly prepared leaked out the container. My faithful and beloved Crumpler bag was victimised, becoming a vessel for the vanilla custard meant to enhance the meticulously prepared fruits. It was a terrible mistake to have stored my newly loved jacket within the same vessel, which effectively became yet another victim of this disaster. And if that wasn't enough, my digital camera also had a taste of the custard, which (thankfully) didn't prove to be fatal. The casualty rate was simply awful, leaving regrets to be futile.

I have since washed it thoroughly, but it would seem vanilla has an affinity with my jacket. There is even a faint fruity fragrance, which isn't that bad after all; although I would very much prefer it without. When all else fails, give up. I pray the subsequent washes make magic.

The next time I prepare food, I'm definitely victimising a plastic bag instead.
