50 times in 45 minutes. That's like 1.21 (yes I think I failed primary school math) times in one minute?

OOOOOH. ITSELFITSELFITSELFITSELF.

And anyway Liz got super hyped up about the some-time-today-its-going-to-be-1:23, 4-5-06 thing, and during history she was like "Oooh nat we will be witnessing a historical event in 18 minutes time! The first of its kind!"

And funny though we were talking about atomic bombs then. So I thought she had secret information that a bomb was going off in 18 minutes or something.

So anyway while Mrs Ng was blabbering about WW2 and social conditions in Singapore, we waited anxiously for the magical moment (eep so Disneyland).

And then...

After staring at Ahmahs watch, and willing hard, the time came.

1.23 p.m., 4 May 2006

1:2:3:4:5:6.

And then I swear I felt a nostalgic gush of wind. And Silence. Enlightenment.

And then we heard Mrs Ng droning on about the war in Germany, and about how would you feel if you were in Hitler's shoes, and Grace making a truly philosophical and wise statement just a few seconds before the stupid cheap gag thing made a loud squeal in her bag, and everybody laughed themselves crazy.

And just like that, the historical event was over.

Oh well. All good things never last. And all bad things don't last forever.

Then I remembered that there was probably another timing like that at 1:23 a.m., just that we had been too stupid to realised that and made such a big deal out of the p.m. one.



edit

this is my motivation for 2.4 next year.
