Life is Random

Or so Apple claims.

I decided to give their theory a chance, and after a long time, I put all my iPod music on shuffle as I entered the train. Yes yes, its boring to hear about whom I saw doing what on the train blah blah, but this one... I think its worth a post :)

A young couple enter the train and sit opposite me. 17, maybe 18, and holding hands. As soon as they settle down, the guy fishes out the PSP from his bag.

Undoubtedly, the playstation is very popular here, and I've even seen executives playing it. I guess there's a boy in every man. Well, I cant be judgmental I guess... I'm a gadget freak too!

Girl starts playing with her handphone. Gets bored. Places head on his shoulder. But of course, saving the world, or whatever else he was trying to save on his playstation, needs his full concentration.

Now this might sound too dramatic, but at that moment, my iPod decides to throw 'Quit playing games with my heart' my way. I couldnt stop smiling to myself!

Finally, she disentangles her hand from his, pulls a long face, and leans her head on the glass panel. He notices this from the corner of his eye. His eyes dart between the girl and his gaming console.

I almost felt like I was watching an action thriller. I knew my station is next. But I dont want to get down before I see how this drama ends. Quickly now, my dear. Decide!

He has 2 seconds to decide. Or maybe less. Should he ignore his girl and continue playing? Or should he give up the game at this crucial point (or so his face suggested) and shower his girl with some attention? Yes? No?

1. 2.

Ouch! And he makes the wrong decision!
