okok i promise this will the LAST one before the A's, but this is something meaningful that i must blog it down manx....
ever wondered what kind of wisdom a simple innocent-looking watch can bring?
today was still feeling abit introvert, dont know how to talk to anyone. So went for gp mock, everything was normal, talking to those i usually talk to and keeping silent to those i dont usualy talk to.. Yeah how i wished i could have been more socialising instead of cooping myself up in the internal demon.. todae gp was screwed right from the start; made me rush down for nothing after it's been delayed for half an hour -_- anyway everything went as normal, everyone scattered as usual and i found myself nothing to do with johnny, so we went for lunch at broadway...
woot, seeing him waving to at least 4 different people just by sitting there made me green with envy, wished i could have made more friends outside class and fitness and marists, but i'm happy with my current situation... sent johnny off at the bus stop where he went to bishan cc to study, saw momo jeremy jamin n ben walking past me.. surprising the greeting lasted only 3seconds? as usual only 3 waved back..
i reached SAS to wait for someone when i realised, what the heck how come my left hand felt so light?! to my horror, the puma watch is gone! i flipped through the contents of my bag and lo and behold, it's gone!! damn, i must have left it in the coffee shop!!
at that instance i had only 2 choices: resigned to my fate and forget about it, or i dashed all the way back, which is a good few hundred metres...
i pondered and pondered, should i or should i not? in the end, i deemed the watch too priceless to leave it, so i dashed all the way back to the coffee shop. whew, got it back, some kind aunties returned it back to the drink stall.. of course i thanked them profusely...
wallking back, i wondered, "what made me turn back and dash for the watch? is it the price of the watch? or it's something more?" deep down, i know that the watch was given as a birthday present last christmas by my favourite aunt. can imagine how hurt and sad she would be if i tell her the watch is lost? i became silent and walked back to the staff room in the jc, wondering as i walked....
*drum roollll*
Friends are just like watches; you may have taken it out of your wrist when you feel like it and place it anywhere, but you will never know how priceless it could have been until the moment you realised you have lost it.. For me, i had lost many many watches, be it SAJC, be it MSHS, be it MSHS(pri)... There are some cases that i ran all the way back just to retrieve it, sometimes it's still there, sometimes not, yet there are some i just gave up and accept that it is lost forever...
now if you do not mind, ask yourself a few questions and think through the answers...
1) did you lose any watches before, especially special ones? if yes, proceed on... if no, uhmm also proceed on...
2) have u had any regrets? dont tell anyone the answer...
yeah i know, there are watches that really hurts alot when i lost it.. ok i'm a careless boy but do we give up finding more watches even if we could have lost them anyway? i dont think so... hopefully...
ok i darn promise this is the last posting before the A's, i swear on my backside.... LOLx
