Those Stupid Little Things

Hello again, my little cinnamon buns. 

Since I'm currently in college and the course I'm taking is Cambridge A Levels, I have recently finished the May-June examination of the AS paper and is currently at the beginning of my A2 program. I only took 3 subjects for my course, plus one General Studies. So naturally, my timetable isn't exactly very packed. In fact, it's actually really relaxing because I’ve chosen an 18 months program instead of the 12 months. Don't get me wrong, I’m still stressed out on whether or not I’ll pass the exams and is able to sustain my scholarship. Not to mention when everyone around you is saying how A Levels is a very hard course and how I must give up on my passion, hobbies and social life just to focus on my studies, it’s kind of hard to not stress about it. So, I did the most obvious thing whenever there’s an exam coming up, I stopped my part time job and spent most of my time cooped up in my room studying. I’m quite the genius there, right? *Note the sarcasm*

Anyways, the reason why I’m writing this blog today is because during the month-long period of my AS exams, I tend to get bored to death when I’m home alone with nothing to do but studying. And so, when I get bored, I may or may not watch a few episodes of Trophy Wife and The Adventures of Miraculous Ladybug and Chat Noir just so I don't feel like I'm the only living being in my house. (I’m only human. You can’t expect me to be able to just revise 24/7) It may be fun in the beginning, getting the whole house to yourself and having the long needed alone time you think so highly of. But when you start to have conversations with yourself and telling your dog how uneventful your day has been, you'll realize that you miss the time when you're laughing in a group of friends, and not laughing from funny moments from a television series.

Literally me whenever people ask me about Chat Noir

A few days later, I was driving home from college after an exam paper (it was a statistic paper, and surprisingly, it went pretty well for me), I saw a couple of street sweepers sitting and lying down under a tree near my housing area. It was a hot day, and they were just resting after their hard day of work. But what caught my eye particularly were two sweepers. They were kicking some kind of unknown fruit towards a tree trunk and was competing to be the one who can hit the bullseye. They were busy having a friendly competition and, at the same time, providing a little comedy show for their friends. It may be another sunny afternoon for them at work, and yet this simple and silly game were able to make them laugh and enjoy themselves. And this sparked up my inspiration to write this blog, are we taking advantage of these little things in life?

After being locked up in my room for so long, it's safe to say that I miss those stupid little things that seems so insignificant but would actually make your life a whole lot better. I missed the times when I was still in high school, how my whole class would have this small karaoke session when the teacher was fifteen minute late to class. I missed the times when that one person, who God so sparingly gave him a bunch of humor, in your group of friends started to do or say something unpredictable that made everybody laughed. And I definitely missed the times when I was having a pointless conversion with the people I cared for the most till late at nights because that’s when people are who they really are. I missed those little things, and I can’t believe that it had to take one A Levels exams to make me realize that.

I guess with that said, I will make sure to appreciate those stupid little things in life the next time I get to experience it. Like instead of rolling my eyes when my friend decided to tell me a pun, I’d laugh along with him and silently thanking God for making him so witty. Because for all I know, my life would be so much duller without those silly puns. Well, I think I’ll end today’s blogpost on a high note. The next time you experience these stupid little things, just remember to not take it for granted, but instead take a moment to appreciate it, ok? Besides, instead of giving out snide remarks about it, why not just do the same stupid little thing back? I bet it’d make your friends’ life a lot more funner. Bye bye now~
