Five helicopters

Current favourite songs: Hinder - Lips of an Angel, Jay Chou - Ting Ma Ma De Hua

I boarded down from Andy’s car early today, and at exactly 9.06am the sounds of loud whirring rotors buzzed to life, hovering above us. I strained to see what the commotion was, against the greying, hazy sky, and five helicopters travelled one by one in unison, each carrying a flag below.

The first helly was carrying what was quite noticeable to be a Malaysian flag (doh, 18 years and 7 months of being a Malaysian and I’m unlikely to forget), followed by vague-looking flags with stripes and patterns and stars of every sort, all greyed out in the dusty air coating and choking us from above.

It wasn’t a common sight, sure, not five helicopters hovering together in a form of almost synchronised display. As if they were a telling sign of how things were to come - as if anyone could make a living interpreting flying things from above.

I sure as hell could interpret what flying, greying thick dusts and polluted air molecules could do to my entire respiratory system, though.

Class ended at about 5.30pm, reached home at about 6. Slept for 2 hours plus. Ate dinner. Showered.

And, zomg, I’m actually listening properly to Jay Chou’s cornily-named Still Fantasy album I collected ironically from, jengjengjeng, Fantasy Music Shop at Pyramid last Friday (too busy to even listen to it, you see). Big-ass poster in a quite comfortable-looking cylindrical container obtained through pre-ordering which I think will sit in my drawer collecting dust till I bother putting it up on my wall.

I’m starting to feel at ease a little as my deadlines of various important tasks are almost over, but not before I have to be reminded of two Malaysian Studies assignments due next week, the same final exam for the same subject next week, and finals the next two weeks.

Ting Ma Ma De Hua’s tune and lyrics are pure genius. As usual, as expected.
