Little Fluffy Clouds, Blue Skies and Chilly Winds. Melbourne.

2 days ago i joined Mz for Jane's contemporary piece. Some part of it were rather technical, with jumps and turns and oh, i always nearly fell after turning haha..
The song that Jane used is: 'Little Fluffy Clouds' by The Orb (a rather weird song, just look at the lyrics and it would give you a clue... the music is quite okay compared to the lyrics- not lyrics actually, just a person 'reciting' the words..) Below is the lyrics:

"What were the skies like when u were young? They went on for ever and they when I we lived in Arizona and the skies always had little fluffy clouds and err.. they were long and clear and there were lots of stars, at night. And errr when it rain it would all turn, it, they were beautiful, the most beautiful skies as a matter of fact, the sunsets were purple and red and yellow and on fire and the clouds would catch the colours everywhere, thats, its neat because I used to look at them all the time when i was little. You don't see that.

* ** ** ** ** ** ** *keep on repeating* ** ** ** *

The most beautiful skies as a matter of fact purple and red

purple and red and yellow and on fire"

Okay. So i have to sort of get used to the tunes and beats so this morning i put this song(one and only one) into the playlist and repeated the song until i had to go for lecture.
It played a gazillion times (from 6.30 to around 8am)... then as usual before leaving the house i would check on my weather widget on the sidebar to get the live temperature. Oh goodness.. it showed me: 5 degrees (in fact it's 5 degrees now too-it's around 1 am) but in the morning the sun was brightly shining and it looked warmer than it really was...

I wrapped myself up into a 'glutinous rice dumpling (wrapped in bamboo leaves)' [哈哈其实我要讲的是粽子] -i.e. wear lotsa layers- before braving myself into the cold icy winds...
My journeys to the lecture hall were often accompanied by music, 'scenery' (if you would, like me, consider the surroundings along the path as scenery) (and these days accompanied by goosebumps- because of the wind)...

I was sorta 'cursing' the temperature and the bright sunlight that cons people (shouldn't blame the sun actually, should LOVE it). And that's when i glanced into the sky. Brilliantly beautiful blue. Little fluffy clouds. A jetplane which always leaves a trail behind. The same straight trail.

WAIT.

No it isn't straight. and the jetplane wasn't flying in a straight line.

COOL... so they can do that... i couldn't resist, it's so interesting and i wanted to tell the people beside me to glance into the sky to see the 'weird' 'phenomenon' hahah... however it was still too early and only a few students scurried away... no choice. gotta note this down. Lucky me i have my camera phone.

This is it.


So, what do you think?

Amazing? or is it just that i'm so 'sua ku'?

At the time of taking i didn't thought why it was 'grrr'. Now this thought struck me: the pilot is as frustrated as me with the brilliant blue sky that cons people about the weather. But he's much braver and used his skills to 'write out' his frustration on the sky itself.

Maybe not. The world is definitely not as simple as i think.

i wonder what kind of jetplane was it .. can't help but to think about thos e childhood cartoons jetplanes (one seater jetplane where the pilot head is about one quarter the size of the whole jet and the typical 'old engine' sound) going around making the grrr word ..

grrr is such a fitting word to describe my last week of Sem1 .. so much work to do !!!!

you wei: everytime u say 'mz' i pronouce it as min zhao so it got me a bit confusing.. bt later i figured out it's 'must' not min zhao haha..

life is sometimes simple, sometimes complicated. for now it's very complicated. especially when exam's coming up REAL SOOOOON...

yeah i still miss 35 degrees (or more) in penang... 30 degrees difference!!

'sua ku' in hokkien meaning apa pun tak tahu..
(in this case i mean am i sua ku in the sense maybe writing on the sky is common here, just that i'm 'sua ku' get what i mean?)
