The Rockafeller Skank

today the heat was REALLY unbearable.it's probably the most hottest day in my entire life.

we were at tampines millenium court at about 9am and already the scorching heat stinging our naked exposed flesh,and even working barebodied,it doesn't really help much.it penetrated through the shelter,every shade,every nook and cranny,we can't escape.there was little or no wind at all,today was really,to put it simple-a test.
out of 8 of us,only me and k-fad were fasting,the rest liberally washed down their dry-as-the-desert throats with sodas and when they were doing that,it however looked like a commercial advertisement,oh boy,that was really a test!and if i was weak,i would have been dragged down as well,God have mercy on us!

the weather has been a killer lately,good if you're on holiday on some sunny isle sipping those lil cocktail glasses with lil umbrellas in it,but when you're working your ass out and you're fasting,that's really tough.

and for a moment,i was a lil envious of those guys who worked in the office with the comfort of soft armchairs and aircon to cool off when they have plenty of assignments and meetings to meet and don't have to face the sun a bit.

but still,some of those guys,fail to fast,and i wonder why,well......

we were working,when an elderly malay guy,neat and well groomed,approached us and said he didn't have access to the store where the powerpoints were,and as he walked past,k-fad signalled to me,that dude was smoking.my God,i know it's none of my biz,but hey,why isn't he fasting?he looked like some guy who worked behind a table in an air conditioned office but then he ain't fasting,and he's no lil boy.he's a big man,who probably got grandsons already,i felt kinda sorry for him.damn.

good thang tomorrow we don't have to be there in the am,just be there to bring back all our stuffs in the evening,after we break our fast,and by then i could be gulping sodas down my throat.

happy fasting amigos!
