Deep in it Today, Literally and Metaphorically

I read in the blog of a friend of mine, on how he yearned for his younger days when he was carefree and happy. This was the iron that burned into my memory of something that happened earlier today.

It was raining cats and dogs today. One of my better friends and I got off at Kembangan station. His mom could'nt pick us up so we had to suffer some of the rain. The bus we usually waited for was late, so we decided to hail a cab. As we moved to the other end of the station where the taxi stand was, he noticed that the bus had arrived. Unfortunately it was on the other side of the road, 50 metres away. 'Oh shit.'

We sprinted across the road in the pouring rain, and nearly got killed on both sides by passing traffic :P. By the way, the sky juice was so heavy that you could barely see the HDB flats across the street. Slipped once on the way, but we managed to get on the bus. In the short few seconds spent in the rain, we were soaking wet. Anyway, we headed for the back seat, shivering and roaringly happy.

Ironically it's the young people who want to grow up as quick as they can, while the oldies want to go back to their childhood.

Me, I'm gonna take my time to smell the roses along the way.
