I was planning to post something yesterday, but somehow I forgot all about it. Once again, it has been proven that me and planning does not go together. Of course, being a good Civics Tutor, Mr. Lim tried to made us write down our revision schdule this civics period. I took a look at the timetable he handed out to us and penned down some datelines that I am not going to meet. Not on purpose anyway. If I happened to meet them, good for me. Everything will fall into place.
Today was a magical day. Kenneth reminded me "No, YOU are getting on the bus. Not me." I felt the fabric of time and space rip as the bus came to a halt infront of me. I entered the bus, and the bus uncle grinned at me. I tapped my card and made my way back of the bus, and I suddenly noticed. This bus does not have air-con! NO AIR-CON! And it is not even ecoday. The gentle night breeze carassed my skin, and I thought about how much more unpleasant my journey would be if it was a crowded bus filled with sweaty commuters. For some reason, the bus was eeriely empty. Then two ah bengs entered and began talking loudly. I was honestly not eavesdropping. It was really funny hearing them talk about their problems, and constantly reminding each other that they did not care about them. It is like they were trying to ask for advice with their problems while trying to convince the other that they were not affected by them. Oh well, I guess that is their way of communication. After a few stops, the ah bengs alighted, and peace was restored. As I enjoyed the rhythmic bumps of the bus as it rode as smoothly across the road as it possibly could, I could not help but think back on the days where my bicycle tire was flat. As I stepped out of the bus, I felt the fabric of time and space restore itself. Oh my tian! Suddenly it is 8:45 PM! Oh wait, considering that I entered the bus at about 8:30 PM, I guess it is just about right. Or is it...
J is for jealousy. Often confused with envy, this emotion is actually considerable closer to love. One ugly thing about love is that it makes us want to possess the thing or person that we cherish so dearly. Therefore, it is only natural that we feel uncomfortable when it looks like we might lose them. Brought down to its most primative form, jealousy is the feeling that we get when someone else tries to come close to the thing or person that we love. More often it would be a person than a thing, as it is, for obvious reasons, easier to possess things. However, jealousy may result in behaviour that make you appear insecure or cause unneeded emotional damage to various parties. This might ultimately lead to strained relationships. Understanding that it is perfectly normal to feel jealous and being able to talk about it is a good way to get around negative actions that might arise from it.
