Redacted

Actually wrote a long post, decided it was too depressing and personal (despite pseudonyms) and realising that I actually have a physical journal.

Anyway. Hey, look, blogging!

***

Draft post from somewhere in September consists of only one line:

Did you know that Wikipedia has entire pages dedicated to obscure sexual fetishes?

Hm. Food for thought.

Clementine

Oh my darling
Oh my darling
Oh my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
I'm so sorry, Clementine

Beach

03 October 2013

I'm on the beach. There's supposed to be an event at 9am but I'm procrastinating. I'm supposed to wear white, so I make a note to change. I arrange to meet with Jo at 9. I am looking for someone, so I ask the three Chinese PRCs I know - they are polite but can't help me.

I walk down the beach and am assaulted by friends who splash water at me and blind me. I try to walk calmly over to one of them, and press where I think the nose would be. I hear a girl exclaim, the attak stops, and I walk on.

I will later receive an SMS from Will[ ] and Pay[ ]l. But when I walk back, I meet up with Mr D Tan, his wife and student-age son. We talk, I all him Mr D[  ] once but he doesn't notice or doesn't mind. I ask if anyone wants a drink. His son asks for a drink from the nearby canteen. Mr Tan asks for one from a faraway petrol kiosk. I'm explaining it can't be done on time, since I'm rushing to hit 9am.

I see the attackers, inviting me to come to their "station" at a stretch of beach I otherwise might not go to. I talk to Mr Tan's son and change, although by now it starts to rain and there's rumours flying around that the beach event is going to be cancelled.

A bus load of students alight at the shelter where we are discussing this. I need to run back to my room to get a white shirt; I am late. Everyone starts moving out from the shelter.

Jo arrives, and starts talking with this figure I can't see. As I leave, I hear part of her conversation, and somehow feel she is talking to Morgan Freeman in Now You See Me. The one-sided conversation from her sounds like: "why do you think I did it this way? It's to show that even those without a choice have a chance to rise up [in rebellion]..."
