Oblivious.

And again, like usual, I was late for my morning class. Don't blame me. I woke up at 6.30 a.m. for godsake. Blame the distance of our lovely home, from the college. It's bloody far.

And again, like usual, I didn't wear my student ID. The blame shouldn't be put on me. I know the rules, I have my student ID, but due to some unknown incident to date, it broke into half. I am not lying.

And again, the pakguard of our college stopped me at the entrance of our college, asking for my student ID.
And again he asked the same question.

'Adik mana student ID?' -PG
'hilang, pakcik.' - F (I always gave the same excuses to this pakcik)
'Pakcik kasi adik 4 hari, kalau adik tak buat ID card baru, pakcik ambil nama adik, dan adik tak dibenarkan masuk ke dalam kolej'. -PG

*speechless*

While giving him the most sharpest jelingan that I can give, I stormed off. I was like, 'helllooo? suka hati akula, nak pakai ke tak nak and bla bla bla'.

But then I stopped. Clearly I was rude. and clearly the pakcik knew that I was lying to his face everyday.
And then my thought lingered to the thought where, how hard his life must be, until he was forced to work as a security guard at his age. Back home, he might has a family that he needs to support. Their life must have been hard. You and I both knew that a security guard paycheck is not that much. and maybe just maybe his wife might has to work some odd jobs here and there to support the family. *sampai kesitu sekali aku fikir*

and there's the issue of, 'it's his responsibility to make sure that all of us wear our student ID' as ridiculous as it might sound like. He might been scolded by the administration department for not carrying his duties well, when we, the students are the ones who refused to follow the rules. I felt bad. Realll bad.

Ok, so my point is. Be kind to the people you meet. Be considerate. Be thoughtful.
Because you'll never know what he is going through.

So, from now on, I would put a halt to my obliviousness.
I promise you.
I'll try.

Maybe I should bake the pakcik some cookies to show that I am really sorry.
hmm... Nahhhh. xD
