A Playful Misconception, A Childhood's Dream

I needed for things to go my way today. Leaving for a one week trip to Tokyo… I really needed those boxers and windbreaker to be dry. The sky seemed fine in the morning till I left home and realised dark clouds were brewing in a near distant. Nevermind, I’ll be home in no time, I told myself. There were many errands I had to run today, like ten things in my list.

First stop was to purchase pre-paid electricity. But I don’t know why I was so stupid that I spent $30 when I was supposed to spend $10. One more thing to add to that long list.

Had to stop at the office. Things were literally moving around and I had to supervise as much as I can. I was supposed to print stuff out and that didn’t happen. But my delegation skill suddenly kicked into overdrive and half the things on my list is gone.

Drove home immediately and as I turn into… I’ll use the word ‘village’ for those of you who are unfamiliar (best I can describe it is Wisteria Lane style minus the niceties and drama? lol), and I saw the road was wet. Uh-oh. My boxers! Right then I was blaming god. As I sped up and got nearer the turn into my house, the road got wetter. And rain began to drizzle. Right then I was blaming god. Right outside that turn, wow, everything was dry. No dark clouds looming above. I couldn’t believe the rain stopped moving in just less than 500 metres away from my house. Wow. Right then I thanked god. My boxers were saved. Funny thing was it never rained the whole day.

Many things could have gone wrong today. They didn’t turn out perfect but everything, like they always do, work out on their own in their little mysterious ways. It’s weird. Right then, the Matrix theory kicked in again.

Right now, I’m hoping my stomach problem will clear by tomorrow. Travelling with it would be troublesome and disgusting to those travelling with me. It is, however, getting better. Or am I lying to myself hoping so much it’s true.
