Dear Pixies
Would you lend me a listening ear? Because other than you guys who have been around as always, I am at loss for ears which I can rant my thoughts to.
When KBox date was called off due to negligible response, I thought of seeing Xtin my dear darling B220 mate whom I haven't seen for lightyears. When I woke up to the noise from construction site my newly-secured date with Xtin was called off again. This time it's because she has some consultation with her tutors. Lucky for me Xiruo was going Orchard with me, and so I wasn't date-less today.
Yet, when I thought my day changed for the better, some people are bound to ruin it. Oh no I'm not into complaints. I'm just stating the facts. I've been doing some self-reflection and observations lately. There are people with ultra low SA (situation awareness) around me. And believe me, these kinds of people are those who really get on my nerves. Yes, I have only one nerve, and they are getting on it like nobody's business.
So because of these kind of low SA people, I had a free ride of emotional rollercoaster today. My day was completely wasted (not including the Orchard trip of course because that's happiness), and my legs were completely exhausted (believe me, it wasn't because of Orchard). And I looked like a big time idiot roaming alone in TM waiting for time to pass and for somebody to turn up. Apparently low SA means that somebody went all the way to somewhere else, and I could get nothing done because somebody never pick up my call when I dialled the same number for a million times.
Oh, I said I won't be complaining, but oops, I just can't help it.
It's not funny when your excitement kena ruined because somebody took lightyears to respond to one simple message. And when you thought you are helping others save time, others are wasting your time like nobody's business. And it's a real nuisance.
I had it. I had enough dose of waiting and I shall wait no more. In fact, OVERDOSE of waiting today. It ain't meaningful anymore. I don't wanna do it now. You can have it for all you want.
Suzzy told me that our class attendance was pathetic today and those who went to school went to rot big time. Yeah, and now when I come to think of it, had I gone to school to rot, my day would even be more productive.

Despite the wonderful waiting experience, a small deed can lift your hearts.
I still remember how the old uncle smiled at me in gratitude when I gave my seat up for him. And how I actually smiled back.
Just one simple deed is more meaningful than a whole world of superficial colouration and empty promises.
