It's Monday and you know what that means..It's the day after a weekend and a weekend that rain all day. Why would you want to wake up and go through the drill of becoming a Monday 'zombie'..but for me it's the day I get to be First. First to arrive to the office, first to clock in, first to switch on the lights/air con at the corner of my office cubicle, first to the office coffee bar, first to switch on the computer, first to clean up the clatter on the desk and first to sit behind the desk and watch everyone coming in to the office. Most of all I get the first Good Morning wish from my colleagues. You get that feeling of 'peace' when you arrive first and early to the office. It gives you a sense of 'power' that you have over people especially to those who come in late. You get to see people who cower in front of you when they pass by your desk as if you're the 'Boss'. Some would come by your desk to start small chatter as if they're trying to pacify you for being late. That's why I like Mondays coz I get to feel like the 'boss'...Other days I don't get that 'power' coz I am always late...But this particular Monday I was late coz that moment of unusual, unplanned, un-ordinary came into my Monday and forever changed it...and so it begins

Today I was hoping it would be as ordinary as possible...you know the usual stuff, get up early, get dressed, grabbed hold of anything that's edible from the fridge and jump into the piece of junk that just barely gets me to the LRT station before shoving myself into an overcrowded LRT just to sit behind a desk. Never planning to do anything unusual. Guess I am one of those who subscribe to that cliche Life is short and then you die..hahaha

Then all of a sudden from the corner of my ear I heard a voice...'kenapa you gelak? Apa yang funny?..still blur and a bit out of sorts I turn to the direction of the voice and there stood the unusual, unplanned, un-ordinary if there's such a word looking me in the eye...time stood still and I could see the word pause circling around me not birds...wait a minute..what manner of moment have I got myself into..I just realized I was morning dreaming in the train and someone overheard me laughing to myself....and so it begins

Momentism

We all go through moments in our life hanya kadangkala kita tak sedar. kalau kita sedar pun kita buat "wakde" je. Adakala bila kita sedar moment tu kita lepas begitu aje dan kemudian gigit jari. Dan bila tak sedar ada je orang sedarkan kita...Apasal lah aku tak....biasakan? I called it 'Momentism' So at this moment I am thinking what to write coz I out of no where I enrol to this TulisCerpen101. You probably be wondering why an oldman like me want to do that . I am past due has been which should be lying in some beach somewhere enjoying the sunset. No answer I can think of except its one of those 'moments' you go through in life either you let it pass by or you live it. What scars me most now is the 'Teacher' happens to be my sedara whom I used to 'chid' when she was in school..hahaha..a thousand apologies for those 'chid moments'...And so it begins...The Momentism
