Rainy Night

Rainy night. Steaming drink. Raindrops. Windowside. Pitter-patter. Soft music. These, in my opinion, is the best ingredients for writing. A quiet night like this is really refreshing. Puts me in a contemplative mood.

I've been thinking about flat foot lately(yes, i have it). Its a condition that makes walking long distances uncomfortable, and people who has it cannot run well or balance as well. It came as quite a shock to me at first when i found out that i have a physical defect of any sort, albeit a very minor one. I guess i must have gotten used to a rosy life, because i have never really imagined myself to be in anyway disabilitied. Even though everyone worldwide probably has a slight defect of some sort, even though flat foot is quite common, i still freaked out a bit. Guess it has gotten a tad bit more personal now that i know i have a defect, rather than just reading about it on books.

But then, something got me thinking about this(the rain??). Now i realise it really isn't as apocalyptic as i first thought it so. I just realised that a lot of people are worse off than me. I mean, there are probably babies who won't even live to their first year, and there are people who has to amputate their legs, or are even born without appendages. They can't even walk in the first place, let alone merely feel uncomfortable while walking. So i guess i really am lucky, to be a complete human being. I heard a story once, that the Buddha gathered the most unlucky individuals he can find, and told them to write down the most unlucky thing to ever happen to them. After that, he told them to fold the paper and exchange it among the people in the group. After the each of them opened up the others piece of paper, all of them went red with embarressment and scrambled to take back their own pieces, feeling it unworthy to be shown. It just goes to show that only YOU think that you are grievously injustified. And here i am, bitching about flat foot. I've decided that I'll just have to swallow my pain while walking, and just work harder on balancing during wushu. Incidently, i also heard that they sell these inner shoe soles for flat footed people. To anyone reading, is this true??

As to the rest of the day, nothing much happened. nearly fell asleep during Chem Lecture(thank goodness i didn't), and moaned alot during EAP. The usual. The wireless is still acting weirdly. I maintain, and i repeat:STUPID ROUTER!! Actually, I rewrote this post. I didn't know the website doesn't retain the data when i have to edit other stuff. Th time has gone awry too, and i haven't figured out how to fix it yet. My first post is actually submitted on Monday night. STUPID WEBSITE!! There, I've shouted it out, and i feel much better now. My first piece was actually much longer than this. Wasted.

Current Mood: relaxed/verge of annoyance
