chilling

i was in a jam-packed bus on the way home today at about 8pm. it was darker than normal because there were lots of rain clouds hovering. and then, i saw this simply designed poster using [lousy] A4 80gsm cartridge paper (LOL. archi student tsk.) pasted hastily onto the back of the bus door, with three long pieces of masking tape:

***

WANTED

Preferably alive

...

Do NOT make unnecessary contact with him.

prior to that i was reading kafka on the shore, and i had just read the part where nakata encountered the sinister cat-catcher, and kafka was alone in the woods.

IMAGINE HOW SPINE-CHILLING IS THAT TO READ THE NOTICE!?

i must be taking singapore's safe environment for granted.

and i was so scaredy cat, that i was jumpy on my way home after i alighted. every person around me could be dangerous, even more so if they walk past me. parked cars which were turning out of the lot could run me over.

... that he may be brought to the police station preferably alive, it means...

shudder!

thankfully firearms are not legalised in singapore, and the asian mentality is oppressive enough to prevent people from committing public massacres.

ok, time to watch jeanette aw :) new drama serial, again another supposed blockbuster of the year. obviously trying to fulfill its real purpose but i'm not sure it'll work out. we'll see how la.

WOOOO END OF EXAMS!!!
