For reasons probably similar to many others, I’m usually tickled by SM Ong’s column every Sunday in TNP. He calls it his Act Blur story. His peculiar way of connecting the most unlikely dots around local news and events into a jabbering story that’s very much about himself is a cracking piece
of work. He’s got a finely honed formula to be deconstructed and learned. Perhaps one day I might also be able
to craft stories in an easy whimsy readable entertaining style that's resoundingly mine. Meantime, I just study his column whenever a hard copy newspaper is available.
One ‘How I met your moth’ on his encounter with Lyssa zampa prompted this entry, mainly because I came upon my own magnificent
tropical swallowtail moth in the garden. Quite naturally the meeting with this creature from the family
Uraniidae warranted a selfie.
One thing's for sure, I wasn't posing with an unmoving carcass that scavenging ants had yet to clean up (like he had to).
