When I came home, I showered. And right after that I ate about 10 cherries, 3 strawberries and a peach.Today I had a day like that Tuesday night but on a much less intense scale. Much, much, much less. It was also a day of good music because I went back on 8 tracks and I think 8 tracks loves me as much as Youtube does. I don’t really know how to explain this but I think everyone can relate to it, you know, that feeling when you find a playlist with all your favourite songs? Absolute bliss :_)
It came like the changing weather of the last few days. From the haze to the sun to the hail to the clouds. I woke up feeling painfully nauseas. I felt giddy from the humidity and cold sweat dripped down my forehead, in fact, present me is quite impressed that past me managed to even find my balance on these two feet. My mind is really complex, it does what I tell it to do and I just manage to convince myself that I feel a certain way and there you have it, I actually do. Ha ha :_)
I left for school. Jolyn passed me her sister’s GC today. Yi bo taught me Reaction Kinetics. The only 2 things I managed to get out of my trip down to Lorong Chuan today. I missed the bus again today. One lift was under maintenance, the one on the left. So the lift ride down was slower than I expected, which annoyed me greatly because when I stepped out of the lift I ran towards the bus stop only to see the bus drive away. Hopped onto the next bus instead, which brought me to Serangoon Station, which meant I had to walk a further distance with an odd ankle. The walk to school was slow and uncomfortable but there were dried leaves all along the pathway and perhaps for a mere second I felt like I wasn’t here. You know, here.
You know, I wish I could rewind 2013. It’s like this important game of bridge or daidi, and I’ve played all the wrong cards. All of them. I would rewind 2013 knowing who and what would be important, knowing what I should have done, knowing what to expect. But don’t we all wish for that, another chance. Another chance to tackle a situation, another opportunity to impress, to feel, to give, to take.
When I left school I walked out to Cardiff Court with R and J and we strolled straight past the guy from The Noose. The Malay weather man on the show. R and I recognised him immediately but J didn’t ha ha it was quite funny!
I walked to my lift lobby only to discover that the lift on the right was now under recovery lol. This man came to wait for the lift too and I got fed up of waiting so I just walked towards the staircase. I think I offended the man though, because I left as soon as he arrived, so it looked like I just didn’t want to take the lift with him, which is a partial truth lol.
So I walked 13 storeies up my block. I checked the time and I really only took 3 minutes. And I wasn’t trying to rush, mind you. I decided that my ankle wouldn’t hurt so it barely itched. I passed every unit on every level and peaked into houses, catching glimpses of people living their lives.
I also decided that if I could rewind time, I wouldn’t have eaten that yellow-fleshed peach. Because it was tasteless. It washed away the sweetness the strawberry left on my tongue.
