Movie-esque

About 15 minutes ago, the "heritage tree" behind the backyard decided to drop by and say hi in the most dramatic action-movie way ever. It did the whole LOUDCRACK, SLOWMOTION, LOTSOFRUSTLING&NOISE SOP before it bodyslammed our fence, made a hole in the roof and sent tons of tree bark/branches/ debris everywhere while my sister and I stared at the scene unfolding, our jaws agaped. AND THERE WAS WIND.

ACTION MOVIE OR NOT.

Somebody's gonna have a shitload of explaining to do *coughNPARKScough* And that same body's gonna have a hell lot of wrath to endure. And SOMEONE'S GONNA HAVE TO PAY $$$.

What really annoys me is the fact that WE HAVE TOLD NPARKS ABOUT THIS BEFORE. We knew that one of these unfortunate days, the bloody tree's gonna fall. And what do they do? They spout some excuses about how they can't remove it cos it's a "heritage tree" under some conservation scheme. Hello, since when were tree rights prioritised above human safety huh.

As Singapore's scientific authority on nature conservation, NParks monitors and coordinates measures to ensure the health of designated nature areas.

By health, I assume they meant tree health. So tell me, why were unable to diagnose that the forsaken relic was SICK? My Mom took a look at it and immediately said, "This tree has been sick for a very long time already. The leaves dropped off so long ago and you can see all the parasite plants attached to it. So the bark's very weak." And y'know what? I believe her. There's a whole rainforest in my backyard now, complete with butterflies fluttering about.
