Sombre
This morning started cold as usual, but i am clattering lesser already. Enjoyed my MP3 player on the bus to office but my mood changed when i alighted to walk to my office. Laying dead on the road was a motorcyclist amidst the morning rush. It's a sad scene isn't it? I thought of taking a pic but decided against out of respect for the fella.
Imagine. It's like 8.50 in the morning and this honest chap going to work crashed his motorcycle and as such, his existence in this fragile world ceases. Such is life. Just like that, he laid motionless and his breath gone. Sigh.
Lunchtime in the office, doing nothing till an orientation of sorts at 2.30. Won't be home tonight, be at my Uncle's place to fetch him to the airport and also take his van.
To be honest, i'm quite paranoid about his van. The first gear is hard to engage and i am not the best driver around... but it is a challenge to drive it and somehow somewhere i might need to drive a manual car, so why walk away from the challenge? i will practise precaution though like avoiding slopes and the morning crowd.
It feels good to be able to drive around, hear the music, feel the wind against your face. It feels good to drive people around, especially my loved ones. I like that feeling...
