Everyday

Everyday is a different sight.


People always find boredom inevitable mainly because of their fixed daily routine. I too, have a fixed one. Mostly, waking at 6am, catch the bus or train, switch trains, and then walking to college. Takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes to reach. The reverse to go back home.

No matter how exhausted or sleepy, I always have this sense of excitement to begin the day! (jump jump) The first thing everyone should do in the mornings is observe the sky... sometimes it'll be too dark to see anything, but sometimes just a glimpse of glitter will spark that smile in your heart. I'm SERIOUS!!


I love the sky. But sometimes, even I can forget to take a look.


Everyday I'll see the same similar group of people in the trains, but everyday is a different view. Just the other day, a mother with her pair of twins came in, only when she started 'talking' I realized she was deaf or dumb. Yes, she had a voice but she wasn't speaking a language... I hope you get me. I once danced with a group of hearing impaired children. You'll be amazed how well they can learn to dance without speaking or listening. Just by observing and gesturing to each other, they put on such a great show. Much more obedient than myself I would say. =P


Admiration.


A few times I helped to lead a blind uncle up and down the stairs/elevator. At other times, I saw other people leading him. There was once I helped a Chinese blind uncle, (I've never seen him before in the mornings), who later mentioned that he has never taken the LRT. Even my first time taking the train on my own was a challenge, what more for them?

Just a thought. Take off that mp3 once in a while, and just observe your surroundings. You'll discover a whole lot of sound and sight (too technical...). I once put on my music, thinking I would spend my time in the train/bus more wisely that way. It totally shut me out from the world (too dramatic...). I did not like it.


Trapped in your own world.


Anyhow, the best trip would be the walk from the train station to college! I'll occasionally use the main road, but otherwise - the back lane. Sunny, cloudy, rainy... I always see different people on the road... sometimes I'll peak into people car for fun (ooh... a Mickey Mouse holder on the car lock!) haha... Funny how little things can make people happy. But on less fortunate occasions, I'll find people calling me "Ah moi!" out of the blue, some approach me to talk. Grrr... So I resorted to walking more roughly, swinging my arms like a Bollywood star (HAHA), tying my hair up at all times, and always put on an i'm-not-an-innocent-looking-girl look. So far, short hair works best!

Perhaps it is because I love to walk (even with my horrible sense of direction) rather than taking a bus, or a car ride. I once needed to head towards the General Hospital, which was actually the just the other side of the roundabout! But I kept walking towards the train station thinking it was the other way, just because I saw it when I took the bus before. So I walked and walked for a whole hour and couldn't figure out how to get there. Gave up. Walked again the next day. After awhile, I decided to walk using the bus route! HAHA!! I walked to the next train station, Chow Kit! Then I finally realized that it was the other side of the 'world' the whole time. Laughed at myself alot!! Haha... It was all fun. A mini adventure. (crazy)

Have I described enough to prove how much I appreciate life just by telling tales of my mundane weekdays?

Of course, I filtered out the negative parts of these days. Because this is how I see my days when I look back at them. 


Every sight is a different story.
