just came back from a high tea with mom at swensens...yum yum...i just love cheese baked mussels or scallops..or mentaiko...

bought a hamster cage from my neighbourhood..only 5 bucks..
then saw this big crowd at the field opposite the polyclinic..
at first i thought its a malay cultural thingy..
but after checking out the Internet..it is actually javanese..

horse trance dance..
Among the traditional dances of Java are a number of trance dances. Kuda Lemping (or Lémpéng but often misspelled Lumping so non-Indonesians will know how to pronounce it) is one of these trance dances, in which masks for spirit characters and flat woven bamboo horses are the main props. The dance is about the battle of good and evil, with the horse riding characters going into a trance where they behave like horses. The name Kuda Lemping literally means "flat horses."

anyway..it was pretty scary whenever they came near the crowd..all of the people will
quickly rush to the opposite side..cos they are really in trance..they don't care about the traffic...will just dash out to the road irregardless of safety..
will use head to break glasses..
jump hard onto a floor with broken glasses..
use teeth to 'peel' a coconut..
and there were 'guards' & 'guardians' to prevent them from getting hurt..and prevent us from getting hurt too..
it was quite scary when one suddenly was chasing me cos of the hamster cage i think..
maybe he smelt something..animal smell or something..

hope i can hurry up take leave..sept pls come soon
