His dream is to make me smile.

14/11/2006

jimmy went downstairs to buy a drink, he had 1.20 with him. he made up his mind to buy a soya bean drink, which cost 1.10. as he slot the coins in desperately, his thirst was beginning to grow unbearable; he quickly pressed the button, and the vending machine dropped the soya bean can. He bent down and retrieved his can, but saw the 100plus drink, which cost 1.20, and he regreted making his choice too quickly, without considering all his options.
for a moment he wanted to return the soya bean drink to the vending machine and get 1.10 back, and then use the money to buy the 100plus drink, but it was not possible. his decision was final. it could not be unwind. filled with a mixture of slight regret and content, he picked up the soya bean can and left.
he sat down and reflected on his actions, sipping the soya bean occasionally. so many times in life, we never consider our options carefully, and after making our decision, we regret.
and maybe if we had made the right choice, we might not have missed out on so many things.

jimmy's thoughts took on a different direction, and he thought of the people he missed. jimmy missed jennifer, jasmine, jewel, and ester. why do we miss people? jimmy asked himself.
distance is not the problem, occurance is. and after more thinking, jimmy concluded that one of the reasons we miss people is that we are used to meeting them every now and then, like there will be certain times in the week, month or maybe even year, that the two parties meet, or get to interact with each other, but once the pattern is broken, in other words, the two parties have not interacted for too long a time, 'missing' would occur.

jimmy misses jennifer even though they didnt talk for merely a day. maybe it was the thought that jennifer is in another country that caused jimmy to miss her. come to think of it. jimmy now confesses that he had missed jennifer even before she took off....
