Is there something wrong with my eyesight?

Went to Kovan today with 87 and 96. As 96 and me waited for 87 at the Kovan MRT station (he had to check if he had extra lessons in school), we came across a map. The map showed the nearby roads and landmarks with their names. We were examining the map when I saw something weird. I have some difficulty seeing words from afar and so I thought I must have seen it wrongly. I blinked a few times, but somehow, the words didn't disappear. So, I pointed at the words and asked 96, "Gay Gardens?!"

Apparently, I didn't see wrong and 96 started laughing at the words.

Weird huh? Gay Gardens. Wonder why they named it so...is it because people there were abnormally happy...or the place used to be a garden where people of the same gender had *ah hem* physical interaction...? Guess I'll never know. Maybe 1 day, someone will enlighten me. And in case you're wondering, I'm not bluffing, its really there on the map. Go check for yourself.

Why did we go to Kovan? Hmm...96 wanted to get a book. I still don't know if he got the book though; 87 and me were browsing Music Junction while he searched for the book at San Bookstore. And well, lucky me, I finally found an album of Third Eye Blind. Been searching for 1 for ages. :D Funny though, I followed 96 to get a Rubik's Cube (it seems to be back in 'fashion' and besides, I wanted one coz it seems to help people destress) and in the end, I didn't buy one. Used up all my money on albums. -____-

While we were having lunch at KFC, 87 and 96 started a debate on whether Humpty-Dumpty is an egg. 87 argued that according to the nursery rhyme, it never said that Humpty-Dumpty was an egg; Only the pictures of the book we read the rhymes from showed it as an egg. Good point there really... Then he had to ruined his 'points' by saying Humpty-Dumpty was actually glass.

"Don't be stupid! How can Humpty-Dumpty climb up the wall if he is glass?", retorted 96.

"Then how did Humpty-Dumpty climb up the wall if he is egg?"

"He got legs!"

"Glass Humpty-Dumpty cannot have legs arh?"

"No."

"Then why the egg Humpty-Dumpty got legs?"

"Because hes a living thing!"

"So glass isn't a....", 87 became speechless for a moment..., "Ah never mind, Humpty-Dumpty isn't egg and isn't glass."

"Aye, right, he isn't egg and he isn't glass." (forgot what he really said. He said something along these lines)

And so, the debate ended up in a draw! Whee...!
