Today's a peculiar day in the sense that two distinct facets of me surfaced. Went to swim this morning before meeting xh, ym and kr at chinatown to go for an "interview", well it wasn't really an interview since we got the job after filling up the details. Anyway guess what, i saw a $2 bill on the floor after i came out of the shower (at the swimming complex). If you are expecting me to pretend that i didn't see the bill well sorry to disappoint, i pocketed it... it isn't really an everyday event that we, or rather I, get to see bills lying on the floor. (i never had that kind of luck, you know the kind of luck that is associated with winning lottery). Another justification for my "dishonesty" was that even if i were to not pocket that $2 bill, someone else would. Now, if i would to pocket that bill i would have some control over it meaning that i could use that bill in a meaningful way...well i used it to buy a chocalate bar to help ease my hunger pangs well really bad of me right, i won't blame you if you see me in such a light but anyway ... i gave the bill to a busker who was performing at J8. Interesting isn't it...the kind of moral decisions that came into play over a $2 bill. So i guess that's the better (i won't say good) side of me.
As for that ugly side of me well...ym, kr and I were on the escalator at Dhoby Ghaut (we were on our way home) when this guy squeezed in between us, trying to make his way down. To be fair, he did say "excuse me" although it was in a really rude tone. To fully appreciate the whole event, one would have to understand that his (the guy's) train was about to reach the station, in light of this, i guess i could forgive him for his rudeness and impoliteness and of course i expected him to make his way down the escalator but guess what, after squezzing past us and a couple of people infront, he came to this really sexy looking girl and his mouth was shut...no "excuse me". I mean what we have here is a demonstration of unequal standards... and man he's such a bloody coward. Both that hot girl and that idiot made a dash for the train when they finally reached the foot of the escalator, while they did so i heard myself uttering (in a fairly audible tone) close...close...close haha i was hoping for the door to close on them and it did haha the euphoria stemming from seeing "justice" served (my brand of justice) flooded my senses haha i guess that should suffice as the ugly side of me haha.
Maybe it's because xh's sick, maybe it's because i'm tired. Maybe i'm evil by nature haha
