Today is especially normal. No surprises whatsoever just another boring and forgettable day for me.
And then just like a shooting starblazing through the sky, my day suddenly lit up…
I’m not really a bad person - maybe a wee bit self-righteous 
but definitely not an in-your-face bitchy gurl… but you have to admit that whenever people around you exhibit a certain degree of stupendous behavior sprinkled with a dash of klutzy exhibitions, you can’t help but smile, grin, chuckle even roar with laughter even though you know that the person in question was probably hurt and embarrassed.
That’s what exactly what happened before my another boring day ended. My father dropped me off at work - by the by, I’m running blind nowadays because I don’t feel like wearing my contacts coz they’re quite a hassle to put and my eyes are kind of getting irritated - So back to the “story� –> When I arrived at work, everybody was outside still waiting for somebody to open our office. Beve, guardian-goddess of the key, has decided to abandon us for some self-serving endeavor and did not show her beautiful face at work. So we all hung-out outside along the stairs.
As I arrived quite late, I was position in the outskirts of the building and standing on the stairs. Now, the stairs are not just ordinary stairs. They are not straight as you would have imagined. Our office is located in the 2nd floor, so you have to climb some steps, the first two steps are quite unassuming, and would not even qualify to be called a stair. After you’ve ascended this steps, you would then have to navigate a second stair. This steps of stairs often pose a problem for my part since it is very hazardous. I would bet that whoever made the stair had not considered the proper engineering design and ergonomic safety features. After this stair, one would then walk a few steps and climb another stair, which is the epitome of a “stair� one might quite imagine. This stair is straight and boring, although I might also argue that the stairs also lacks safety features as another officemate (as I’ve been told) have also fallen from this “boring� stairs.
The steps in question for today would be the 2nd, non-boring stairs. As I’ve said, we were all bunched up on this stairs and I was socializing to some beautiful people (maui and amy). Then came another officemate, bounding on to the three of us. It was just then in a flash that the poor creature stepped on his own feet and came stumbling down the stairs flat-faced.
We could only watch helplessly as he journeyed the stairs, all 180+ pounds of himself plus a badminton racket.
I’m not being mean here… it’s just that the incident i really kind of surreal… I still couldn’t help but smile whenever I imagine how the poor soul fell… I mean, you have to admit that whenever this kind of thing happens, you always stop yourself from laughing because you know that it is really rude and insensitive to laugh.
So I’m gonna stop now before I become an insensitive, bad person. My karma might come striking back at me. (cross fingers and pray hard)
