I'm sitting in the bus today and there's a lady sitting across from me to my right.
Suddenly she starts rummaging in her bag. The bus turns in from the bridge and i look up at the digital clock in the front. Its 8.20! gonna be a bit late to work again...
I look across at the lady, she's got a pack of jujups in her hand.
She starts eating them. One.. Two.. Three..Four..
I'm watching from the corner of my eye..Suddenly remembering that I need to try and glance through some notes while ive got some time. I look at the clock again 8.21.
My eyes are dragged back to the lady on my right. She's devouring the jujups like er, well, let's just say she was devouring them shall we?
Five.. Six..
She's delicately taking them out of the pack one by one and shaking them into the pack as if there are stray drops of sugary honey dripping off of them and she's afraid of them dripping on her shirt. In reality they are just regular sugary, colorful jujups. I imagine their rubbery taste.
Seven.. Eight.. Nine...
The pack finishes. she calmly puts the piece of wrapper ripped off when she opened it back inside. Wipes her mouth with one hand. I look at the clock again. it's 8.22.
I feel slightly pukish.

Hey TheWhacksteR, this post is simply superb.. but what I feel is a different thing… look, the bus was moving and you were just checking the time… one two.. three... why? Maybe…. becouse you were heading to office, wanting to go there on time.. four .. five... you were still counting.... Depressed.. I don’t know.. but this woman you were talking about.. she was just enjoying the moment… she was just enjoying the taste of a tasteless packet of jujups.. don’t you thing that there’s something to learn here… I don’t know what you would think about it… well that’s what I feel..
a whole packet? before 8.30 in the morning?! uurgh. i can't handle that kind of sweetness that early in the morning, and i have a huge sweet tooth also..
Nifraz - hmmmm maybe youv got a point dr. maybe i should quit the rat race now and then to sit back and chill eh:)
PP - lol a whole packet in 2 mins. ruber rubber rubbery jujups. yum um..
