while walking around the guardian of heartland mall today, i knocked loose a piece of plastic that sent a whole tower of water bottles tumbling to the floor, in slow mo. when i told my mum i always wanted to do something like that, she stopped laughing. i swear, it was accidental.

and yes, randomly carrying an umbrella along the street can cause some bad karma. i was feeling very hot walking to the salsa place, so mr big foot whisked out an umbrella and started to shelter me along the way. i thought, alright, since we were in auntie territory (chinatown) i can maybe trade some inborn elegance for a cosier walk just this once. unfortunately the umbrella lasted less than one minute. the ladies of the two young couples we passed along the way looked far too displeased at the fact that their men were not similarly being aunties.

i ate snail yesterday...it felt like snail, and not for the fainthearted.
