today i was studying in the library when a little yellow bird perched onto a tree nearby and began telling me a most interesting story:

" there was this silly boy who was returning home from the market one day when he met his friend. yadayada went the conversation and she suddenly said, "oh, i'm so longing for custard pudding at the moment. yar but don't know where do they sell it now leh... alright going home now, see u!"

the silly boy thought to himself, 'arh. i do know of this place by the river tt sells wonderful custard puddings... i think i'll go and get some for her. maybe then she'ld realise tt it's not only him who can be sweet! tt'll make her day!'

so off skipped the silly boy to the riverside bakery to get the custard puddings.

on the way back, the silly boy saw the girl sitting around talking to her neighbours. he thought to himself again, 'i think i want to surprise her! hehe. maybe i'll go to her house and drop the custard puddings there and when she gets home she'll have a nice pleasant surprise! sweet puddings for a sweet girl...' so he made a long detour around the forest to arrive at his friend's place.

he soon arrived at her place and peered through the windows. very much to his disappointment, he saw him sitting in her house! the silly boy was so disappointed and dejected that he hung his head low and scurried off home. he saw his friend along the way home but just walked off quickly, hiding the box of custard puddings behind him.

when he got home, he saw that he had some other friends who had come to visit him. "what's tt?" one of his friends asked upon seeing the box of custard puddings. "oh, nothing much. u want? haha, let's open it and share!" and open it they did; enjoyed it they did. but somehow on the palate of the silly boy, the custard puddings didn't seem as sweet as they were fabled to be. abit sour perhaps. "

after the little yellow bird finished her story she flew off. well, at least tt story took some thought off my mind off the many hours of mugging...
