the day i am late for a lecture...

i am not a person who likes to be late,any of my friends would gladly support that point.and of course,being late for lecture is definitely a NO NO for me...but today,i am actually late for a lecture...but instead of feeling upset or disappointed with myself,i feel really good. because i did a good deed today..or at least i thot it is a good deed.

before i go into the details of how i did my good deed for the day,i must mention a sight i saw this morning that nearly caused the peanut butter sandwich i squeezed down for breakfast to perform an anti gravity stunt. what did i see??

well,i was standing at the corner of grattan and lygon street,waiting to cross the traffic lights,when i saw 2 people on the other side of the road kissing. Not that i am against kissing in public, but i have to bring to everyone's attention that both of them are GUYS!! and not young guys,but like middle aged men!!ok,i am not against homosexuals. if one day my friend tells me he/she is a gay/lesbian,i would not run away nor would i ostracise him/her. but,these 2 men are not related to me whatsoever, and seeing 2 middle aged men locked in a passionate kiss at 8.45am in the morning?now that's a sight which i would gladly not see. EWWWWWW!!!!!

so,my good deed for the day? well,i was walking down grattan st towards physio school when in the middle of crossing a road,2 young asian girls stopped me and pointed to a map of melbourne, asking me to direct them to somewhere.while i was trying to figure out where they are trying to go to,one of the girls told the other girl in mandarin to take something out of her bag and show it to me. in an effort to help them,i replied in mandarin,"ni men yao qu na li? (aka where are you going to?)" they were so surprised i can speak mandarin that i've never seen 2 pairs of eyes widen so much in a split second before. anyway, turns out they want to go to the melbourne language center on lygon st . i pointed out the directions to them,but well,they din really know which way to go.so,i walked them to the place they wanted to go,even though that means retracing my way back to lygon st and would make me late for lecture. when i eventually directed them into the center,they were so happy and their big smiles just make the extra walking and me being late for lecture totally worth it. hehe..

well,i did rush my way back to the physio school,running and walking at leg breaking speed in an attempt to minimise how late i am going to be.by the time i sat down in the lecture theatre chair,i was panting and puffing and red in the face and sweating (yesh,i am actually sweating...)

so,in one morning,i've seen a gay couple kiss in real life,prevented 2 chinese gals from losing their way in melbourne and did more exercise than i had in the past 2 months.

feeling accomplished? yeah,pretty much. in a better mood? yeah,sort of.

muscle aches tomorrow? yeah,probably. :P

ah well,the week is ending, and all i can do now is to look forward to staying over at germaine's place tonight and not think abt clinic next week...or the assignments coming up.

tata!
