It's cold.

Singapore's in its own winter mode now.
It's raining everyday and I'm sure shop owners at East Coast are cursing everyday because they don't get any business. Orchard owners are cursing the weather for killing their plants, especially those which aren't suitable in cold weather.
Now, they need a heater. What an irony. Heater in Singapore.
Ah Peks are now wearing jacket instead of a singlet.
Office people are bringing their jackets to work.
Shoppers are carrying an umbrella and a jacket when they walk on streets.
I don't want the rain, I just want the cooling weather. Is it too much to ask for?
Does a smile appear on your face now that you're staying at home doing homework. Now, you don't even need the air-con. Your mum's gonna cut down on her nagging for wasting electricity cause there's a reason for saving it now.
Are you able to give that smile when thinking ahead of the new year? The new year: where you will have to stay back in school till 6 plus everyday. You're gonna get tons of homework from school, and you have tests the next day.
You have a dumb Chinese Os to face during mid-year, and they make you take again if you don't get an A.
You are pressured. for your class is the only one which can't score in Pure Sciences, and what you have heard is Tan Kee Hoe is taking you.
You have never experienced running around the lab, you have never duck-walked before, you have never gotten a dressing down from one of the two best Chem teachers in school before.
What lies ahead of you?
You don't know.
We bring in the new year with earthquakes in Taiwan, which slows down everyone's Internet and signing me out from MSN for no particular reason. I watched Youtube videos halfway and the download gets stuck. I type blog posts halfway and you tell me it can't be published.
We'll all die without Internet.
