Mention my fiction - and there is the dulcet sound of crickets chirping. Or cicadas, since it is officially Summer.

I foresee this happening in the near and distant future. :P

Just a note: Envisioning is available for download.

And a review is on Gather.com (I used to go to Gather... and then I got busy and forgot about it).

*crickets and cicadas chirping away*

*lol*

In Singapore?

No lah, it's ... um. whatever that sound is. I think it's crickets. >.> Cicadas are fucking loud and annoying, espeiclaly when they're RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR WINDOW.

But yay for your review! It's a good one, and now people are going to read!

I'd read your fantasy, but I find it hard to read pdfs on the computer. >.< When I don't feel quite so guilty about ditching work, I'll read it. :D

Lol, my GP teacher gave up nagging on me - I never concentrated in class, and yet always got A1 for essays. I am just that good ah! :P

I went and did a bit of cursory research, and apparently cicadas live in the tropics too. so... hmm. I don't know what DOES make those piercing sounds in the Bukit Timah Nature reserve - crickets or cicadas or both. :)

Monkeys! :P DON"T FEED THE MONKEEEEYYYYSSSS.

Pissed off my English teacher at SecSch because I told him that I wanted to do English, but was in Bio instead.

He was all ARGH NO NO NO WHY.

Hahah the monkeys. I only ever saw monkeys in the distance. I never bothered with trying to poach plants, it was tiring enough just walking up the hill.

I do wonder what that plant was though - the one that drops pods that are filled with water, shaped like tiny pistols or bananas, and if you squeezed right, squirted water like water guns.

Heh. Well, I had to make a practical choice, right? I didnt want to end up teaching in Sec School - I didn't want to read kids' handwriting that just got worse and worse. Writing and literature is instinct to me - imagine trying to teach it! Biology, I thought I could tahan.

Well, I can. It is fun. It's just not a PASSION writing it.

Oh god, that reminds me of this girl in my sec class. She's a genius, really. a real good writer, and she was just ... ngn. She was in every way a genius too - stereotypical almost. Absentminded, her handwriting wasn't crap but it wasn't all that easy to read - though a lot of guys' handwriting was worse - and she never, ever, seemed to handup work on time.

The teacher would give her an extra week to hand in stuff because when she did hand in anything? It was Just That Good.

(it's not a pitcher plant - it's like, tiny tiny seed pods, yellowbrown and shaped like a banana. They'd fall off the tree on to the ground and you could pick them up and shoot. )

In Economics, apparently. I have no idea. I'm surprised she's not a writer though. :( It's kinda sad. Unless she's still writing under a psuedonym online.

Probably yeah. Just like how I'm officially a biologist, but stealthily writing.

SECRET WRITING WOO.

Like spies. Stealthily writing so NO ONE WILL KNOW.

... which is, sadly, true. :|

(what are you doing up at 6am!? Oh wait, toddler. Poor you. >.< By the time we hit pri school, my parents let my oldest sister wake us up and get outselves out to the bus.)

Ah. Pre-school. O_o

My parents had made my sister sleep by herself at that age, I think. They were following by the book sort of parents, being extra-firm and determined not to spoil their first child.

Then I came along and made them spoil me silly. >.>

<.<

Yeeeeeah by the time my brothers came along, we were all put in one room and just told to sleep.
