Of Earphones and Bag Straps.

Seriously, I'm feeling very, very random today.

Anyway, I'm going to recount something really, really stupid and lame that happened on 53 today.

I was carrying the plastic bag with the props and the shoe bag with the windbreaker. I slung my bag around my left shoulder, and swung it to the front, so as to take out my iPod. As usual, I put the earphones round my neck, and the iPod in the left pocket. What I didn't notice until a few seconds later was the fact that the earphone had nicely entwined with my right strap.

So, disaster ensued.

I put my bag back on.

The earphones came of my neck.

I thought that it had caught on the bag, so i pulled. It didn't give. I tried to feel around for where it had caught. Then I felt that the earphone went around the strap. I went, oh crap. I tried to thread the iPod through the bag straps, hoping to solve the problem.

But, it didn't.

By now, the earphones were really, really messed up. And I was feeling damn pai seh.

After a long while, I got the earphones disentangled. Whew. Extremely lame, but funny. I wish I could have seen myself.

Anyway, I'm off to go do work now.
