The daily MURPHY chronicles

Yay. Murphy's law , i love you. I am so damn glad that you even exist at all. At least i can do something stupid and push all the blame onto you.

Anyway.

I'm a person very prone to stupidity.

So today as i was walking home from the bus stop , i decided to take another route as the route that i usually take was boarded up with wooden planks as that area was undergoing construction.

For the past few days i had taken the usual detour around the construction site but clever ol' me decided to do otherwise.

As i was saying , i took a new route , figuring that behind that particular route held an amazing shortcut.

Of course , it didn't.

Instead , i had to walk around 10 or so more blocks before reaching MY block as almost the entire neighbourhood was boarded up.

In the sweltering heat , too.

Did i mention that the entire place looks like a cross between a funeral and a shantytown from Rio de Janeiro ( thanks to the wooden planks )?

Funeral because the entire place had ugly triangular flags printed with the state crest strewn all over the poor trees and a huge disgusting banner that said "Happy birthday , Singapore!"

And as everyone knows , traditional chinese funerals are seldom without banners of condolences from well-wishers.

I'm not against it , but c'mon. The place is so awashed with obnoxious colours that even i , as a resident , feel ashamed to even walk in it.
