Collateral Damage

I haven't slept well last night, partly because of tea but mostly because of some random thoughts.

The suayest thing happened to me last night on my way to jH's place. I got myself a cup of Honey Jasmine Tea from Sweettalk after exiting from the station. When I got the drink and gave it a shake coz the honey's stuck at the bottom, the cup slipped off my hand. As I was trying to catch it before my $1.50 goes crashing onto the ground, the cup literally split into half. Half of the drink landed on my shirt, and the other half dripping from the cup.

I was damn pissed because of

1) I was really thirsty which was why I want a drink

2) I just spent $1.50 and got splashed on the shirt / feet

3) I'm supposed to wear the same outfit tomorrow.. AND IT'S STAINED!

4) It was embarrassing because there are people around who just stood and stare

5) jH commented the drink got spilled onto her feet as she strolled into the washroom to clean up

6) There was no display of any sympathy from her after what happened

From my point of view, she should at least show some sympathy because she's heading home where there's plenty of clothes for her to change into, and get cleaned up. But I'll need to wear the same outfit tomorrow. And I'm guessing from her point of view, she was pissed because it was me who spilled the drink and she had nth to do with it.

I don't know where the spark came from but at that point of time, I just burst and we started arguing over the spilled drink. It sounds silly as I'm typing this out because there is nothing we can do about the spilled drink (isn't it always the case...).

It's days like this when bonds get stronger/weaker depending on how the situation is dealt with. I hope I've learnt from this and not repeat it in future should such suayness occur again. After a lousy time in school, and a dismal practice at home, then this.

The only positive that I can take out of yesterday was the theory on 'The Power Of Information'.

IF ONLY we knew what others were thinking or experiencing, there would be lesser conflicts.
