Parquish: ... and then the sissy side came out of me.

... and then the sissy side came out of me.

Well well well, if it isn't this thing that we call civilization once again. WOOHOO!! (Btw I'm eating noodles straight out of the pot; can't be arsed to wash another bowl).

Right so some of you mayn't get why I'm so ballistic over seeing civilization again, but I'll tell ya that when you've been moping around some forest trying so stay out of everything's way, civilization can be the only thing that'll set you free.
So we went to MacRitchie today to trek round the forest and boy oh boy was it energy-sapping. Especially if you're like me, afraid of creepy-crawlies, ESPECIALLY butterflies. And it's really hard to avoid all these creatures cos basically, they're like the civilians of the forest. They're EVERYWHERE=OMNIPOTENT.
I spent 3 1/2 quarters of the time shouting at butterflies and them golden flying thinghies. The trail was horrible, especially the part where the butterflies were everywhere, and we had to cross the path to and fro. Horrid. So yes, at the start of the journey, it wasn't much better. There was a troop of monkeys stalking us, especially Meichen. (Or so I think cos the last time that we went for the fishing trip at Upper/Lower Peirce, there were monkeys too and they seemed especially attracted to Mc. :P So this time, it wasn't very much different cos one of them leaped at Meichen. Except that she saw it coming before hand and ran away, so the monkey was standing at exactly the same spot where she was a few seconds ago. Hmm....
:D yes, so blablablablablabla trekking here trekking there, BREAK! Then trek somemore and to the tree-top thinghy where you can actually see all the trees, even the emergent layer ones. Absolutely breathtaking and awe-inspiring, (not to mention refreshing and butterfly free) . Actually, it would have even been a touching moment if not for the constant shaking of the entire structure. It felt like we were all going to drop. So yes, pictures taken, then trek trek trek back to the bus and OMG when we saw the road, we began running like, like.... running thinghies and we didn't stop till we reached the interior of the darn bus. Damn it felt good to be back safe and sound in civilisation.
Our guide was a gay faggot ( as said by Chantel), and darn to I have to agree.
He was a man that was the exact replica of Ganesh, except that he had earrings and he didn't have facial hair resting upon the top of his mouth. He behaviour and attitude was that of an obnoxious, self-centred, fat too self-assured kind of gay, arrogant, stupid and daft little gay kid.
Eeeurgh. Have an extreme dislike towards him.
Anyway, so yes I realised that we're actually cutting down many trees. I mean not that I've never actually noticed it before, but I felt the full force of it and how we're actually affecting the ecosystem. Realised that nature is actually kind of a b-e-a-utiful thing, (no matter how yucky it is sometimes) and how really, the non-human things' lives actually rely so much on us.
Maybe last but not least how nature has been so good to us, always there to help and support us, giving us everything that we need, but how we, like spoiled ignorant little children actually pay back in evil what nature has done for us. Sounds just like a family kind of story.
Hmm so yep, today I've definitely handled more nature that I possibly could for a year and many things have been learnt. My fear of butterflies may actually have been conquered (well just a little bit) since I didn't scream "BUTTERFLY!" when I saw one as soon as I left the school gates. OR maybe that might just have been due to the deep fatigue I had and have, which I am going to curb soon.
Who knows? Well I didn't freak when I saw a shrivelled up insect in my pot either. I simply ate it.
Joking. I threw it away, but not actually touching it. Haha maybe we should have a "touch the insects" course next time to help people with the same problems as me.
Oh well who knows? Oh yes just to let you know one more thing. The sissy side came out of me when everyone saw my deepest fear.
BUTTERFLIES.
