I've given up studying for the day and decided to go to bed instead although I'm not really sleepy yet. Anyhow today may not be the most adventurous or the most productive (sadly, would be handy if it was) but it's the one of those days that you go to bed wandering about what 'could've been' and questioning the things in life. That's right, a day filled with nothing but boring medical stuff and yet thinking about the day is keeping me awake. You see, outside my window is a place for blind people. I'm not quite sure but judging from the people who enters and leaves the place, I assume it has something to do with the blind. This afternoon I saw a man with his stick at the gate of the place that I was talking about when I happened to loom out my window. He opened the gate, closed it without leaving, stood there for a good 5 mins tapping his feet and shaking his head. And then he turned around and walked back towered the door of the house where he came from the first time. I know what you're thinking, blind man who perhaps forgot something and was just heading back to get it but the funny thing was he kept doing the same thing over and over again. Walking back and forth, back and forth and mind you the distance between the door and the gate outside is about a good 200 metres and yes I watched him do the same thing for like 4 times? That took and then I gave up figuring what he was trying to do and returned to my books. Okay suddenly I don't know where I'm going with this haha and I don't even know why I'm blogging about this! Anyway, 14 mins ago, just as I turned the lights off I thought of the man this afternoon. So I decided to see if he was still outside, I mean what are the odds that he'll still be? It's like 1030 at night. But I did it anyway and boy oh boy, he was there, at the gate doing the exact same thing he was doing this afternoon. And I wonder if he stopped at all during the time in-between. And I couldn't help but watch him for another 10 mins. At one point, he looked like he was having a seizure. But he didn't, which I'm glad cause I'll be outside in the cold right now instead of my warm bed if he was. Anyway, I was watching him and I had this urge to just go and find out what he was doing. So so so tempted. But just when I decided to do it, he stopped! And he didn't even leave, he went back into that place and never came out again. Strange. Now I'm here with my eyes wide open wondering about how different this moment will be if I were to have found out the reason behind such bizarre actions and perhaps I would have found some wisdom or enlightenment through it. I mean, there's a reason why I spend almost 30mins watching him right? I should have learned something for this shouldn't I? Shame I didn't find out... And now I'll never know UNLESS he does it again tmrw! I'll ask then! But I hope, for his own sake that he doesn't. Alright, bed time...
