{ Getting Ready: Part 2 }

– 4 Minutes Left

Ok so I’ve decided I’m gonna just not show my finger to anyone, especially to the girls cos they’ll prolly noe what happened when they see it. Just gotta keep my hand in my pocket the whole day, like a cool anime character…eh yea, I cld go wif dat. As for the red eye and lips, I’ll take page out of a SpongeBob episode where he claimed his black eye was from a lil brawl wif someone. Yea I cld roll wif dat too, just some side quest in my tough guy life dat none of y’all noe abt.

So I go to pack my bag, which just means putting my laptop in, which is always left to charge overnight. Dats prolly not very good for the environment, and is smth I’d like to modify in my daily routine…eventually…

As I go to switch the charger switch off, I see dat it’s oready off. I think hang on a minute…dat doesn’t seem right….did I oready switch it off just now?

I turn my laptop on to check. As I turn it on it immediately shuts down. Goddammit I didnt turn the power on last night?? Wat the hell, charging dis shit is literally a 2-step process, and I manage to fail at dat? An absolute jackass mistake, which means dat I’m gonna have to bring my charger to school, which I’m not too thrilled abt. Dats gonna take up some additional weight and space in my backpack, and it’s mostly becos of dis one stupid component:

I hate dis power bricks. I dun like how it’s bulky and takes up space. Ok I’m not an electrical engineer, I dun rlly noe wat the purpose of dis is, maybe smth abt turning ACs to DCs or wtv, and I’m sure it’s important somehow. But as a regular, uninformed joe, Im not a big fan of the design. Its too blocky and not very practical, and the AVGN has been complaining abt unnecessarily big AC adapters since 2007. It’s 2025 and it’s still a mild inconvenience in our lives.

Ok, as the last person to leave the house, gotta ensure the windows closed, lights are off, fans are also….hello hello wat is dis? A kaya bun? Damn haven’t seen dis in awhile. Maybe my mom just bought dis yesterday. Hmmm it be lookin quite tasty I must say…

But no u fat ass, ur oready late. There’s literally no incentive to eating dis now. Ur not even hungry at dis point of the day. Besides, lunch time is only in a few hours u can have a proper meal then. U eat dis now its like 400 unnecessary calories, and ur gonna get hungry during lunch again anyway.

Yea, ur right, gotta control myself. Can’t just succumb to the kaya bread, dats instant gratification. I’m better than dat! Gotta get it out of my mind, dat sweet, tasty, lil bit of green and lil bit of brown, piece of bread…hmmm….

Having eaten the kaya bread, I finally got ready to leave my house. At dis point it was just abt making it to school regardless of time. Maybe the stars will align and the bus will come immediately as I reach the bus stop, and the train immediately as I reach the platform 😀

Yea but no, ofc it didn’t.

So I finally reach school at abt 10:30, abt 30 mins late. Eh but I’ll take it, expected worse. Though it did cost me a lil bit of my attendance. Oops. But u noe, in a society where being a lil late is normalised for some reason, it’s not dat bad. Das a culture I both like and sometimes dun like (when I’m the one waiting).

The rest of the day played out as any other normal day, only wif my hands in my pockets. That wld prolly be seen as just a typical boring day. But u noe wat, maybe boring isn’t so bad sometimes. Sometimes boring is worth appreciating. Beats having an unnecessarily stressful morning, don’t u think?
