Late

I was on 961 bus on the way to woodlands interchange. I looked through the bus windows; the fleeting people, cars, and buildings were tainted with a bluish hue. The lights in the bus suddenly flickered on. I turned my gaze to the passengers in the bus. Their grey gloomy faces were illuminated by the pale and sickish yellow lights. Their faces were comforting to me. I looked at myself. My hands and feet was slowing turning yellow too. I felt extremely relaxed as i merged into the yellow bubble for once. The world outside still looked blue. *sigh* I closed my eyes and relaxed. I fell asleep as the luminous yellow 961 bus took me safely back to hermit hill.

Sunflowers are yellow, the sun is yellow. Yellow is warm. The rain is blue, the sea is blue. It is cold. To me, the bus is yellow, the world is blue. I am an escapist. My character is such that when the world is yellow, i am blue. But if i could, i would like to to cruise along the blue streets within the comfort of the yellow bus.

I reached home from school at about 7pm yesterday. Although i only had two hours of sleep last night, it did not stop me from powering on the laptop. After half an hour of MapleStory, i heard my mom saying, "Eush, there's food in the kitchen." I nodded. Then she added, "how's school today?".

"Maplestory is fun. Oh shucks, there's a patch in half an hour. Grrr.." I replied casually.

To me, school is work. MapleStory is play. I am an escapist. My character is such that when i have a choice between work and play, i would choose play.

I slept too early last night. 9:30 PM. That is why i woke up late this morning. 7:30AM.
My classes start at 8 AM. Shucks. School is an hour away from Hermit's Hill.

To stay at home when you are late is to miss out on learning. To turn up despite being late is to risk enduring a chiding. I am an escapist. My character is such that when i realize i am going to be late for work, i will choose to not turn up completely.
