The Tweflth Day Before Christmas - Bah Humbug

A trip to Vivo City, strange cavernous shopping mall that booms and echoes and causes total sensory overload. A place to get lost in - yes I got sort of lost, but found a shop selling chocolates, which was not what I was looking for. In fact, the shop I went to find had - closed down. 

Bah Humbug or what?

So, I battled my way around Ikea instead. It was swimming with people not really shopping, just milling around, more shoaling than schooling in fish-like circles.

There's a thought: a tongue twister: 


A Singapore Shopping Centre, Swimming with Shoaling Shoppers

Shoaling fish move around independently but together in a connected manner, where as schooling fish, move in a co-ordinated manner.

Shoaling fish forage for food. Schooling fish move in a tighter formation and use this as a means of protecting themselves against giant or other predators, unless of course it's a trawler net.


Rather informative little video I found about this:



BAH HUMBUG

Well, I ran out of 12 days of Christmas because the 12 days start from Christmas Day, not from 1st December. I knew that anyway, so I suppose veggies might be a good idea instead? I'll wait until Christmas to post those.....



Note to self, count 12 days after Christmas Day and mark it down to dismantle the Christmas tree. Goodness, dismantling a tree? In the efforts to be eco-friendly, we now dismantle trees rather than chop them up and put them on the fire.

The Nineteenth Day Before Christmas - Bah Humbug

Bah Humbug, it's 6th December, Friday already. Where did the week go? 

Definitely running out of time - no use procrastinating (time is such a thief). I have to get ready for the Nexus Christmas Fete. Must make a list of what I am going to take, and while I am at it, I should finish off painting those notebooks.



Little Tarsier, so wild and free,
Flitting and flying from tree to tree,
With your eyes so big and wide,
Small surprise all day you hide




Up in the canopy, watching me.

BAH HUMBUG

I wonder where the six geese a laying have laid their eggs?

I believe goose eggs make rather nice omelettes. Maybe I should cook one for dinner?
