I live opposite a Knife-Thrower



This was supposed to be up yesterday, blame it on procrastination.

Started the Tuesday with some instant noodles, curry-flavoured. I was too lazy to go over to my grandmother's for a meal, so yeah.



Then came my daily ritual of downing some honey! It's actually something i like to take, so i don't mind although my mum always reminds me.

The weather's been really hot and it becomes uncomfortable studying at home, so i arranged with Gee to go down to the the condo's under-utilised study room and STUDY. Everything went well until these group of sec sch students came in. Mind you, there were 8 of them(if i counted correctly).

Weird place for a class outing, i know. They brought snacks and settled down to "study" in that room which had less than 6 chairs(with me and gee already occupying 2). Maybe they ingeniously sat on each other's lap. Did i mention there were girls too?

Okay so we got used to studying amidst the chatter and random noises from the group. After about 2 hours or so, we took a break and went to jalan jalan outside.

And we saw this.



We were "OMGWTF how the shit did that get there?!", since no one else was around.

Then, we looked around for other possibilities to this strange sight.


(Most) Possible Trajectories of the Knife.

Bingo. A fair amount of discussion concluded that it had most probably been thrown from the opposite condo!

(Possible)Reasons being:

- A wife walked up on her husband making love to their maid, so she grabbed a knife and threw it at him, only to miss. The knife flew out the window at the opposite condo and landed itself in the tree at my condo. Refer to above.

- An airplane flying overhead didn't have its cargo hold secured safely and leaked its contents. One of them, a knife, fell through the sky and by sheer amount of luck, got itself stuck on this tree at my condo.

- An idiot using the knife to try to chop down the tree, instead of a regular chainsaw. The knife got stuck. The idiot gave up and left.

- A murderer killed someone and stuck the knife on the tree, bending down to tie his undone shoelaces. He left without taking the knife with him, forgetting the fact that he placed it there.

- The tree grows knives.

The most probable one being the first, after much debate.
