bumming days(:
Today on my way home i stopped by 7 eleven, and there was this bent lady in front of me.. blocking up the queue. Apparently there's this get a disney badge promotion thing gg on n she's an avid collector.
she took out this huge disney folder n splayed it right across the counter.. there were TONS of disney badges all arranged nicely in it! the cashier n i both gasped at the same time. she wanted to get a badge she didnt have n told the woman she especially wanted 'Disney Princess' badges but was met w a curt 'Sorry aunty cannot choose'
you should have seen her.. the way she haltingly picked one fr the container, gingerly tore open the wrapper, and the way her whole face lit up when she saw she got Ariel. she flashed her toothless grin at all of us n i swear the light fr her smile ricochetted off the walls in the shop. or maybe it was just her golden tooth. heh. Then she carefully put her new badge in w the rest n began meticulously arranging them all. Till the cashier shook her head impatiently n barked 'Neeext!' did she shuffle away, holding the disney folder close to her chest.
and i had to listen while the cashier muttered under her breath about 'siao old women'
it seems like the time had come and gone when we could get excited over stuff like disney badges, get happy over ice cream or cry over a decapitated barbie. Perhaps we should all start wanting less, worrying less about the future and everything else.. n just be happy over the little pieces.. dissect these little pieces n the colours escape. but string them all tog n it becomes a whole colourful chain! (:
hahah. ok anw.. life's been pretty good.. [concg on the lil pieces here] i've been rolling around for 2 whole weeks! well almost. my well paid rest ends today.. n my new job starts thur! a 2 wk stint.. yaawn. its quite nice bumming. meandering thru the day.. doing whatever i want whenever i feel like.. watching gd movies end on end.. throwing myself into books.. snuggling in for naps.. staring at the ceiling watching the fan turn turn and turn. hypnotising. just watching the world go by n enjoying it all. mmmmmmm.(:
still, im glad this is temporary
