Been listening to classics all morning, as well as Jet, Oasis and Jimmy Eat World. Yippeeyaya.
Would you like to hear about an embarrassing thing that happened to me yesterday? I still can't get over it.
Was returning home from Baybeats, the bus home was packed with people. I was standing, and was messaging my dad. The bus was stationary at that point, so I made a move to slip my mobile back into my purse, and just as I reached out for the pole, the bus lurched and started moving. And following Newton's something something Law, I felt myself irresistibly thrown backwards by the forward motion of the bus. I felt like I was in some action movie, where everything was in slow-mo, with my hand reaching out but unable to grab onto the pole, and moving backwards against my will. However, everything was happening in real time, and I added my own sound effects: I started shrieking for all to hear. I'd like to add that everyone just stared at me like I was a scientific experiment gone wrong, in morbid fascination. If it wasn't for a lady who grabbed hold of me, and managed to stabilize me, I'd probably have died or something. If not of injuries, then of embarrassment. I am eternally grateful to her. But instead of saying thank you, I kept apologizing to her while laughing.
It's okay though, I'm resigned to it. I can probably theorize my plight and compile it into a law. Then I shall be famous like Newton. Imagine: Melissa's Law of the Inability to Not Embarrass Herself in the Presence of Other Homo Sapiens.
Ha ha ha. Now I'm amusing myself.
Wah lao, Felicia's college life is so exciting. Hers is the waves of the ocean, rushing up the shore and ebbing away, then rushing up again. Mine is like the stagnant water in the X-DENGUE ads.
I'm laying off the jumping jacks for awhile. My calves are killing me after yesterday's jumping jacks. And I've got blisters on my feet. I wonder if I'm supposed to wear socks while doing them? That's be so dumb, imagine wearing socks in your house, when the weather isn't even cold. Whatever it is, I'm sticking to running.
Hey! Stay young and invincible
'Cos we know just what we are
And come what may we're unstoppable
Cos we know just what we are Oh yeah baby. We're unstoppable.
