At the bus stand..

The last few days have been rainy but the cool weather helps from other hot days. Makes one rather lazy actually, be it at home or at work. One would not want to get up for the day's work (actually, I'd just been sleeping late. Hahaha! Didn't even notice the rain until I got out of the room) nor do much brainstorming assignments during office hours (besides, it's end of the week and holidays! >p). Well, it's rather nice so far.

To add to it, after work I decided to sit down with the office lady for a drink while she waits for her husband to arrive at the train station. Normally, I would just rush back home and her husband arrives on time. The chitchat was mainly her part. I just did the listening and random acknowledgments, not to leave out the food of course. =p (Odd...the egg tart had a gelatin layer on the top. Oo)

Heard her talking about her experiences in school and social work. Quite interesting that a lady like her actually been manage to enjoy so many events though she seems to lead such a simple life. Well..it's an ordinary life of course, but somehow...it's like watching a movie of someone's life..or the synopsis at least. Hahahah! Made me think about my true view on helping people. Ah yes, helping people. A mute man came over to our table to sell handcrafts made by disables. Got something really pretty for my aunt. Better remember to hand it to her. =p (*go presents it to her, comes back* T.T it got rejected. Next, try my mom. xp)

Soon it was time to go back. Took the LRT and spent my time reading again. (Nowadays I try as much to find free time to read or my pile of books would never decrease. >.<) It was all very passive in a way. Passive as in...it felt like an ordinary day where you go to work, spend time travelling to and fro, reach home and etc. So you end up not experiencing your surroundings much. But a little cat just helped changed that. Was walking out to the bus stand to wait for my pickup (uncle =p) when I saw it laying on the floor nicely. Seeing it just lighten myself instantly although it was merely a picture of a cute cat.

Then I took a seat at the stand. Just begin to notice things. The people around me. An MPV full of children and few adults taking to for a trip balik kampung or something. Didn't manage to count how many kids. But I do wonder if they all belong to that ONE couple. @@ Noticed the odd looking structure that is destined to be a house. The light above me wasn't working and the lady beside me had difficulty reading, but I couldn't see where the switch may be. How a girl waved from the car and calling out to her friends to wait a little further up. At that moment...I felt like Forest Gump! (Or at least the way I sat made me feel so. I had my briefcase in replacement of the box of chocolates. xD)

This little moment at the bus stand made my innards feel fuzzy. Just out of something so simple and ordinary.
