Remember my horny turtle? Well, I think something is really wrong with him/her. Gee, I can't even tell it's gender. Anyways yes, he has this habit of mounting himself on top of the porcelain turtle that has been keeping him company in that pathetic green-lid container. Today yet again, I caught him doing the same thing, this time staring blankly right through my kitchen's window. I passed by the green-lid container; which is house to him besides his shell as his shelter, but he didn't even move an inch. This might sound crazy, but I stared into the eyes of this turtle of mine. Second gee, my turtle doesn't even have a name! Moving on, believe it or not, my turtle just blinked(yes, open and close) his tiny organs which gives him sight(eyes; I'm just being longwinded) a few times at me. I got freaked out and walked away of coz. Then I started having out-of-the-world thoughts; does my turtle has hurdles in life to go through as well?
Look at it this way, we do have our moments where we just daydream and ponder during bus rides or even during a boring Economics class. When doing so, a million things will run through our minds as fast as gushing blood. Tell me, how long in a day does a human lets his mind run away from the daily doings of work, school, play and what nots. In that instant moment, wonders happen. One could be reminiscing memories of a loved one lost, or worrying about getting caught red-handed cheating on a Maths test or even dwelling on the things that could've have been done for change to take place but it just didn't happen.
Then within a few blink of eye, you're back to reality again. It's a wonder how that split few seconds the mind does a lot. Although for some, the mind literally goes blank.
So turtle, I'm trying to figure what's on your mind(physically very very tiny). In any case that you can give me other signs; instead of making me think you're one horny turtle, I'll help if I can. I can get you a better rainbow-coloured container. But if you ask me to bring you to Kallang River or Ah Teck's turtle farm to find your relatives, hell no.
Nuff said. I'm heading out with Neighbour Love to scout for $100 PSP; this hunt will go nowhere really. But it beats staying at home, so have a great Monday to you. :)
