I was Busily Buzzed

(Using my handphone's camera) Monday assembly.

This morning during assembly, there was a prize rewarding ceremony for the winners of last week's 'Science & Mathematic Week' various competitions (I was too busy last week to blog about it). I forgot to bring my camera, and borrowed a fellow colleague's instead - I was the designated cameraman.


His camera was smaller than mine, yet more powerful.... I hate my life :(   [ixus 12.1 megapix versus Sony 8.1 megapix] But this is not an entry about my gadgets are....


As I was calmly snapping many pictures at the rostrum, in front of the rest of the school, I noticed something I had seen before, but at that particular time, was so perplexing.


I had become a mini sun, orbited by many tiny flying organisms.... There are insects flying close and around me ONLY!


Before any of you scream foul things like ; ZOMBIE!!! You CURSED UNDEAD You!! Or You just STINK (when was the last time you had a bath)!! the insects were not flies or any of its relevant cousins. They were just fruit flies and some black bugs very much like bees (because I always see them among flowers).


My first thought was really; Do I really smell bad? (yes, ha ha ha to you too). I seldom wear perfume and if I do have the stench of rotten fish, the students (ah you know kids these days...) would say so - immediately. So cross that out.


My next idea was.... I remember that some animals and insects can produce pheromones, the chemical that attracts the opposite sex. Wow! Do I really OOZE sexual aura in the megawatt range? WOW!


I had to rule that out too when the Principal gave me the eye; as mine were unfocused, plus a weird grin with living satellites zooming around me.


Oh well... that's one mystery of the universe that I cannot find the answer to. :)
