tendencies

I need a plan for my life.

Alright, maybe to say the next 4 months would be more exact, but technically I need one for my entire life too.

I have just come to the wonderful realisation that after 5 weeks of rotting around at home, I have about another 17 weeks to do the same, and given the vegetative rotund entity I'm slowly becoming, I NEED A LIFE!

I always wanted to be where I am now, without a care in the world; not having to worry about homework, parents nagging, CCA, the next exam etcetc., and now that I actually reached my dream place, it's kinda not as ideal as I had hoped.

Ironic isn't it?

Somehow the things that kept me going, pressured and stressed were the things I enjoyed the most and were the things that made life day by day seem fulfilling. Kinda regretful that you only see this in retrospect, but hopefully this enables me to cherish the moments better in the future.

So here I am.

Stuck without a plan for the next four months before I so voluntarily and willingly and lovingly and passionately serve my nation. How patriotic indeed.

So far plans are:

1) Crash Orientation.
2) Find some frisbee club to join.
3) Go on holiday in mid Jan to early Feb.
4) Help J2 KI students with their research papers.
5) err... driving?
6) umm...

ZOMG I GOT NOTHING ELSE TO DO FOR DAYS ON END~~!!

I wanted to relief teach or get a job or something, but the holiday with my family to the USA is in the middle of all working/school terms and it'll be quite weird to ask for leave right? I mean..

"Hi I'd like to apply for a post at your school/company. Oh but, I'm terribly sorry that I won't be able to make it for the first week cos I'd be at just the most fun place ever having starch all over my hair and mud all over my face.

I also would be away for two weeks skiing near Seattle with my family so I need to have some space around the late Jan to early Feb window, if that's all right with you.

Did I mention the starch?"

Genius.

I'm sure all companies would rush to hire me.

So yes, if you do know any company who would be willing to put up with my antics, could you please let me know?


PLEASE~!!!


Moving on, I've noticed that people have certain tendencies.

I would quite comfortably say that I'm gifted to observe the lesser things if I may, the things that people don't usually ponder about.

Maybe I'm wrong, people may ponder over these things all the time, just that I penn my thoughts down now.

I do have plenty many to share, but I don't know if I can remember all right now.

That said, I have no intention of overloading you with otherwise trivial occurences of daily life, so here goes.


Have you ever noticed how people react when you walk behind them? Or when they walk behind you?

I mean, given this generation were people are becoming generally less aware of such as all sorts of earphones are jammed into heads to blot out all other sounds, but think with me for a moment.

If it was late at night, or just dark for that matter, if you heard someone behind you walking or catching up to you, you will do one or all of these 3 things sub-conciously.

1) You will slow down until he/she overtakes you.
2) You will speed up and hope to turn some corner where the person doesn't follow you.
3) You will turn behind to see who is coming up.

If you are the person walking up from behind, you will either

1) Speed up to overtake faster.
2) Slow down and maintain a comfortable distance away even if it makes you walk awkwardly for a brief moment, and in the midst of this you hope that the person if front will hear you and want to walk away faster.


Interesting right?


Next time it happens, just observe.

My answer, this being non qualified just yet, is that people are naturally wary of strangers. The minute something like that occurs we tend to have all our defences up thinking of the worst case scenarios. Much more so if the person is a man or of a certain race.

You will not continue walking on at the same speed unless of course you don't notice the person coming or you consciously make an effort to move at the same speed as normal.

Though it would lengthen the moment that you two are side by side, and thus the longer awkward periods, it's quite fun to see if the person speeds up even more to overtake you. Not a given that he/she will though.



Next, have you noticed how guys heads will always turn to ogle a hot girl that walks by, or appears somewhere?

You probably have, but have you noticed how all the other girls in the room will suddenly be watching the guys turn to stare after they themselves have seen that girl?

It's quite funny, the mixed reactions on the other girls faces.

I for one enjoy it too myself. Looking at the faces of the guys staring the hot girl down I mean.

And I tend to do it all the time! (not that I'm gay or anything.)

It's fun to pick out the most hum-sup or perverted looking guy and watch him as he drools (okay not really but u get what I mean) all over the sight of aesthetic pleasure.

For a moment there it feels like I'm justified cos I shake my head at his perverted-ness, if there is such a word. But it's really interesting to do so.

Next time you see a hot girl, look at the guys faces as they stare down the girl, and take time to shake your head in disgust. It really does make you feel better when you judge haha~!

Okay technically thats a sin.

I beg your pardon.

But you girls do it all the time too!

That's all for now, I can't really remember the rest so till next time~!
