Life Is...


-having a bad day in the office
-getting on the train after three tries
-internet failing you when you need it the most
-you shuddering when taking a look at price tags
-the stench inside the mall making you wonder if it's coming from you
-the super short skirt you see someone wearing, followed by a question
-the third voice inside your head who's a professional critique
-the queue at the supermarket
-giving up on grocery because of said queue at the supermarket
-being crushed at the thought of another microwave dinner
-buying food from a stall you don't really like
-getting shortchanged on the amount of squid
-getting onions for squid instead
-being angry at the old uncle who wasn't paying attention on the street
-being angry at yourself for being angry at the uncle
-saying 'thank you' and 'please' even when you don't feel like it
-thinking of how lucky the world is you're not a superhero
-thankfully not imitating fiction since you're most likely a supervillain-in-the-making if it is
-shouting 'Hulk Smash!' over and over again inside your head, trying to get the feel
-the taste of oil lingering inside your mouth
-the thought of cold beer and fried chicken
-the anticipation of a good drama show
-the realization that all of that need to wait until work is done
-knowing that being patient is key
-knowing that you're not blessed with patience
-the urge to write these all down before you turn into a green monster
-hating your phone for buzzing incessantly
-saying grace
-eating your kangkung, peppers and onions while leaving the squids for last
-being grateful the rice is hot
