Classes have started and I can already anticipate that this semester will be much busier with a heavier workload. Well, there's nothing I can do about it except grit my teeth and just work really hard.
Today was just another day. Well, almost... I think.
I was the earliest to reach the professor's office where we have our classes. In the course of our chit-chat, I happened to mention that I was doing some exercises this morning at which the professor stood up to ask me if I can do certain stretches. And then, somehow the conversation progressed to me demonstrating basic martial arts movements and splits that I have not been doing for many years. (=_=)......
The professor gamely did the horse stance (马步) and forward stance (弓步) with me. After which, she excitedly went to call another professor next door to join us. And then, it became that the three of us were doing all kinds of stretching exercises together until the rest of the classmates entered the room. (-_-)......
After class, I went to replenish my missing stationary at the stationer's and then, I popped into the supermarket next door. As I strolled down an aisle contemplating about what to have for my luner (lunch+dinner), I was greeted by a loud explosion immediately in front of me.
A huge gallon of Coke had exploded and its brown liquid splattered all over the floor.
If I had taken a step earlier, I would have been drenched in the explosion of bubbly soft drink and be walking back to my apartment in sub-degree weather smelling like Diet Coke. The store worker who was about to load the bottles onto the shelves was not so fortunate and got blessed by the shower of sticky-sweet brown liquid.
I took a sympathetic look and then calmly turned to another aisle with cleaner floors to continue thinking about my luner.
And that was my afternoon today, mundane with some indescribable surreal moments.
