probably a worm juz wriggled into my head and decided to settle there for the rest of my life, this bulge on my temple juz wont go down...and it hurts...
this reminds me of that little joke my cousin told me.
'What's more terrifying than seeing a worm in your apple?'
'Half a worm...'
LMAO....

anyway, i kind of realized something really philosophical today, i feel like a grown-up.
My neighbour held some kind of party or celebration today, it seems. Because they live at the end of the walkway, there were many people walking up and down outside my house. I was pissed, cause i couldn't quite focus on my work. Anyway, more distractions came along, and i totally gave up studying and started to sulk and curse my neighbours.

Who would not be pissed if people were playing mahjong and laughing like anything outside your window?

I tried shutting the door and window, I even stuffed tissue in my ear! Even that couldn't stop the noise.

There were some even more audacious people who decided they could lean against my window and start checking themselves out, with me at the desk trying too hard to be calm.

In the evening, I thought I could finally have some peace and quiet, more people came streaming in...I was screaming...inside..

These people just seem to really enjoy testing my patience, some even sat right under my nose and smoked their cigarettes happily, blabbering dialect that sounded like animal talk.

Alright, they pushed me too far, I was going to show them who's the boss, display my prowess...but, well i didn't quite dare...politeness, you see.
So i decided to turn on my audio to max volume, and had TVXQ's new single blarring out the window.

Aha, they jumped in shock. Revenge...is sweet. They started rolling their eyes at me, talking even more loudly (in dialect, while obviously they were badmouthing me). Well I didn't really care, I was just happy I could save my ears from those dialects, they make my heart itch.

After much staring, they finally gave way, I admit the volume was probably too loud, I couldn't stand it either, I had no choice..
And hurray, one by one, they cleared the way, and I had my clean view-from-the-window back. WHo's da MAN?

And then my philosophy came in, I realized that people are really a pain in the butt when u think they are, conversely, if you think they are nice, they are too...
I happen to see this old man, who stared at me when I tried to blast him away, I thought of smiliing at him, and when i did, he smiled back...
then it dawned on me...it takes alot to be magnanimous and not to get pissed by every little thing people do, but it sure feels better when you receive a smile rather than eyeballs that threaten to disappear into their sockets (too much rolling).
