On 19th August 2006, the grass besides a MRT station in the East received some tender loving care. It is a medium patch of grass that has been used to showcase a new model of car for the past few weeks.
On that day, the makeshift showroom has been taken down. 2 workers were watering the patch of grass that had turn brown, and doing some planting. It is a heart warming sight. If only there is a photo to depict this scene.
Grass talks, and the tales it bears can be very depressing. Its lifespan is unpredictable, its rich life story is ever colourful. And its spirit of never bowing to defeat is commendable.

Slope Deteriorating Health
While grass sings happily somewhere in the world, slope sighs deeply. The starting signs of baldness has appeared on him. He has signs of brown circles on him. And the brown circles get bigger and bigger as each week goes by. He has been here for so many years, yet it seems that lately, he starts to display such symptoms. Wonder is it the regular visitors of this year that caused his baldness.
As he ponder whether he had done anything wrong towards these regular visitors, another student decided to climb on him instead of going one big round. And slope starts to frown deeper and deeper...

Grass Revival
Grass is singing today. After months of fenced up, it is now green in health. Hee hee. Never imagine that it could ever see the sunlight ... imagine a few months ago, it keep losing the battle with people, with rain. Imagine the sand invading its territory. Imagine seeing itself grow slimer and slimer (although maybe ladies will be envy of its size that time). But grass's ambition is to be wide and vast. Not slim and bald. So now that it is lush back again, grass is singing a happy tune...

Deserve It!
Just realised I haven't posted a long time. And that I did not republish my blog the last time... blur me. Anyway this post is a special post because it does not contain any picture. However it is an incident that I remember vividly even though it happened a few months ago. An incident that I told myself I MUST blogged it. And the main lead actor is the "Grass beside the sidewalk". If only I had the courage to take a picture of that incident...
It was a rainy day. The roads were wet. The grass was wet. And as usual the pavement seemed to slim down during rainy days. As I was walking, a family of four was walking in the opposite direction. It became apparent that the pavement would not be able to accomodate all of us. The mother then decided to sidestep the pavement to continue her walk. "SPLASH". And the mother's leg was soaked by the muddy grass. As I saw her wet ankle, I had only one thought in my mind :
"Deserve it. Think you can take shortcut by stepping the grass. Never expected the grass to put up a fight right!"
And I started conjuring the traps that grass will laid on the unexpecting human being who wants to bully them... Call me cold-hearted! I would rather side GRASS than Human.
