Street Caligraphy

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Its November and why is it still so hot? The weather is changing even the monsoon decided to come later and i am still sweating like a pig. Perhaps the climate shift theory on the movie "Day After Tomorrow" is at its birth.

Went to Sim Lim Square (SLS), the IT Mall yesterday because the mother of all blur Gods wanted to splurge 100 bucks on a keyboard and needed some encourage to actually materialize the thought. I wouldn't comment much but i think the new keyboard is smarter than the owner is.

On my way there,I was going to get some ice cream and whip out 2 bucks from my wallet. Before i could get to the ice cream stall something caught my eye.


Look ma... no hands!!

There was a large group of people gathering to watch a man, sitting on the ground, writing Chinese caligraphy in between his leg. At first i thought oh my.. that was some kind of skills he got there and the will of earning money despite his disabilities really earn the respect and awe from all. Nice writing and skills.

I was about to give him my ice cream money and all of a sudden, his right arm moved to pick up and reposition a paper weight to stop the wind from blowing the papers away. Then both his legs stretched most likely to ease the pain of sitting for several hours.

I pondered for a while, and told the aunty in front of the cart that i want a chocolate chip in between 2 wafers.
