Familiar

All too familiar, the scent, the people, the streets, the newspapers, the tv programs and most importantly, the language! The weather's not too familiar no longer since it became hotter! It is relentless...the sweltering heat...omg. There are just so much clothes u can shred before you get arrested.

Even while sleeping, I can feel pearls of perspiration forming at hard-to-reach areas (not what you are thinking!); back, the ankles. Not the birds nor the sunlight but the heat that usually spoils the sleep.

Now, since school is resuming, the chances of facing the heat is inevitably absolute.
The thought of riding in the bus is all too dreadful. Imagine squeezing with 5000+ other people, sweating secondary boys and sometimes girls, aunties, menial workers, sleepy tertiary students, the occasional BO dudes. You will be like, "What have I gotten myself into?" Then again, you are also part of the equation that makes other ppl's rides as unpleasant as yours.

It doesn't help when your bus is trapped and constantly overtaken by erratic taxis, rude executives driving their rides taking advantage of the sheer size and 'speed' of your bus. Add to the fact that some buses don't come with air-conditioning, the situation is just too depressing.

By the time the bus finally arrives at your school, you just feel like not doing anything at all. If anything, there is no such thing as climatizing to S'pore's unforgiving heat. The other alternative is to own your ride! Yeah rite, wait till you pump your tank...
