of magic umbrellas

I had a magic umbrella: whenever I took it out, it would never rain – no matter how heavily laden the clouds looked. I’d feel like a great big idiot carrying this huge umbrella around (it’s a little higher than mid-waist to me). Sometimes I felt that just out of sheer impish delight, my umbrella would even coax the sun out, furthering my embarrassment.

“Rain… Showers…” Weatherzone.com.au predicted. Huh! Yea… it’s raining SUNSHINE!!!! *shake fist* (Yes well, I’m still not too sure who to blame, my umbrella or the inaccurate weather forecasting)

It must have been 4 or 5 times that I had taken out my umbrella, expecting rain and there wasn’t any. -_- Dattie, ever the optimist, chuckled when I told him of my suspicions, “Weeelll… you can look at it this way: If you don’t want it to rain, just bring out your umbrella!” That there’s a double-edged umbrella (re: sword) if I ever seen one. =P Hehe

Happily, I think the magic must have worn off or something. Last month, I took it out and it RAINED! I actually had to OPEN it UP and USE it! @_@ (Yes, I was a little giddy with the fact that I could =) hehhe) Walking up to work was a little heavy drizzle – it was too heavy not to have it open, but it was a tad light to actually have an umbrella opened =T However, after dropping by markets bar, it absolutely poured down with a vengence (must have been all that pent up rain teehee). Mc Phili, BM, and I had to huddle under it: Mc Phili held the umbrella, I had my bag on my front, BM was behind me. We had to coordinate our walking otherwise we’d stumble and get even more wet. -_-;; It was hard… we definitely lack coordination. *sighs* (I blame it on the different length legs =P)

It’s funny when you tell someone that you accidently fell asleep and they get all skeptical on you: “How on Earth does someone manage to do that?!?!?” This question actually came from Ash. I tried to explain that I was in bed and I just accidently drifted off. “Nar, you see, that’s what I’d call intentional sleep… cuz you’re lying down! With your eyes closed!”

“Well… technically it wasn’t like that,” I replied. “I was giving my eyes a break from reading an e-book on my palm by staring at the wall. The last thing I remember thinking was: ‘I think I’m gettin a crick in my neck, I really should move…’” Ash thought that was really hilarious for some reason -_-;;
