NYP HALL S2
HOUR OF CITY MAGIC.
If you try sitting at the esplanade for one hour, it's easy to fall into the rhythm of the city. There is music from the overhead speakers, the busy river traffic that lends to so many memories. The people around me in no particular hurry, lazy after their Sunday brunches. Giggles from the merriment of children fill the pauses of the noon music. Couples are aplenty, all whispering and leaning into each other. Parents bustle around their children, orbiting to shower their precious child with attention, forming a picture of kindred bliss. Tourists red with the humidity and sunburn flock here to the banks of the Singapore River, clicking furiously with their posh cameras and flamboyant poses. A live band begins to play; someone whistles a happy tune along to it.
Suddenly, the humdrum is broken by a single stray cloud. It dumps it huge store upon the merry scene, and as one the scene immediately changes. the bumboats rush madly to the docks, and passengers like ants scurry into the air-condition malls for shelter. The raindrops grow fatter, and their plump wetness soaks the hot afternoon to saturation.
Finally the brief shower ends. The buildings tower around the little pier, where the first of the sun's rays dance from the glossy, glassed sides, a dazzling display of gold and brilliance. They fall to the water surface, tainting each of the small waves' tips with that touch of natural magic.
ViSion was awesome, has all the looks of a global standard theatre performance, with that huge rush of giddying magic. really worth every minute and cent. it inspired this post, and i strongly encourage all to watch it!
finally not sick, only the fever is left, and only in the mornings. stupid virus going around the class. lots of them been down, largest suspect is Terrence for introducing this ailment.
new favourite spider:
SCIENTIFIC NAME
Latrodectus bishopi
SIZE
The average size of mature, female Red Widow spiders is approximately .5 inch, with a leg span of 1.5 to 2 inches. Mature, male Red Widow spiders are much smaller - approximately 1/3 the size of the female.
DESCRIPTION
The cephalothorax (head) and legs of Red Widow spiders are a rusty-reddish color. The abdomen is black, and generally has rows of red or orange dots, which are outlined in white or yellow. Red Widow spiders do not typically have the well-known hourglass marking on the underside of their abdomen, but instead have only one single red mark, which resembles a flattened triangle.
DISTRIBUTION
The Red Widow is only found in central and southern Florida. It is not known to exist outside of the United States.
HABITS
Nocturnal, only the female of the species will aggressively defend her web and territory. The male of the species is wandering, reconstructing a new web once very few days in a new area. mating and hunting habits are similar to the black widow family, with a powerful venom said to be stronger than the black widow, with a paralysing effect and spasms.
