Took a walk down Chinatown this evening
Walking down South Bridge Road tonight, we spotted this building we hadn’t noticed before.
It wasn’t too hot today so we decided to take a walk down Chinatown after we got back from dinner. It was close to 11pm, but hey, Chinatown’s always open. We took the stairs from the apartment down to a small side lane near the main artery at Chinatown, and spotted a flattened snake in the middle of the road. It looked like a recent accident, the snake was still kind of slimey looking. We then headed further, and under the covered walkway on the side of Eu Tong Sen Street, we spotted an army of slugs making their way from on side of the walkway to the other. Needless to say, most of them didn’t make it very far. They looked like small dried leaves, so they were mostly trampled on.
What are the odds of actually spotting two squirmey slimey slitherers that begin with the letter S on the same night?
Oh. And my new word of the day: slithereens. It’s what happens when creepy crawlies get trampled on. Squashed, and all slimey. Usage example: The snake was squished to slithereens.
