JYSim for jobless-yokel Sim

The degree of how busy you are - business (busy-ness), is coincidentally the same word for a commercial trade of goods and services, business. While Oxford had had no recognition on the word ‘business’ used on how busy you are, I’d like to claim it mine first in order to continue on for this post.
I’m extremely sorry for not being blogging for such a long time, the main reason being I’m 10 on the business scale recently, and that my past posts had had no comments, which was rather disconcerting. Recently I experienced several kinds of business, listed below with description:
1. The Abrupt and Acute Business
You’re happily watching Air Crash Investigations of China Airlines 006 when suddenly 3 of your friends nudged you on MSN. No. 1 demanded that you complete your description for the water fight you plan to organize on September this very instant while No. 2 is trying to get the message ‘go sign up for the course on how to handle a society tomorrow before 12pm at the Office of General Affairs with Ms. Foo and don’t forget to pay 100 dollars and ask her to issue a receipt as well as submit the society’s reimbursement for the money used on tuning the grand piano…..’ across, but of course you weren’t paying attention because you’re too preoccupied watching and typing at the same time. At that immediate moment No. 3 urgently needs an explanation on why you did not call up your group members and inform them about paying up 1000 dollars for a camp.
That’s the precise moment when you wished you had the remote control to your life so that you can yell ‘ STOP’ and everything will freeze.
2. The Slowly Gnawing Business
You had a great day at school. The lessons were ok, you did not fell asleep, and you were planning to clock some study hours before finally leaping into the ‘ER’ DVD your senior lent you at 10pm. You’re back at your bedroom, and you had the physics textbook in front of you. Just as you’re about to plug in your iPod, you suddenly remembered about your scholarship next year - are they terminating it or are they continuing it? And why the heck my money has been delayed for almost one month? And then another worrisome problem crops up - heck, I have a 3000-word essay to be submitted the day after tomorrow, and currently I’m still at Word Nought. Sim Jun Yi, you know you’re not a genius and you cannot produce a 3000-word essay in 30 minutes, so you gotta get your butt off the chair and start typing now. But, oh, I’ve gotta study a little or else I’d be so behind soon.
As you’re still contemplating on whether to start typing or continuing studying and your eyes wonder around the pages sending nothing into the brain, you turned and saw this mountainous pile of recyclable garbage in the washroom. And then - didn’t the dorm master just entered your room yesterday and warned you guys better get that pile out of your room soon or else he’ll set them on fire and roast all of you alive in there?
And thus you are so undecided about doing these things until finally you’re too tired to think at 1am and you fell asleep.
3. The Talked-into Business
You’re dining alone at an eatery outside your school, feeling down from the weather and the coming weekend. Your senior walked in with his boyfriend, and, as you’re usually smiling all the time, she noticed something different about you.
‘Oh, you looked so cool when you’re not smiling!’
‘H’m, ok.’
‘Well, you’re so well-versed and cool all the time ain’t you? Such a talent!’
‘Uh-huh’
‘We need a host for our farewell party this weekend, you’ll be accompanying Ning Ning on hosting. It’ll be fun! I’ll contact you soon to give you the details ya?’ (prepares to leave).
‘But, I…’ (she just left and closes the door).
And thus I had to vacate up to 20 hours in the next 3 days in order to prepare for the host job. It was a nice party overall, but I blubbered a lot, and now that I’m not anymore expected to do anything, nobody says I’m cool or good-looking anymore.
To conclude - business, it comes in all forms.
Would post more soon, I’m still busy anyway.
