For the Elderly

PART 1:

I went back to school today after another very long time. At some point in time, I went to look for the toilet. Although there are many toilets in NUS, it seems that everytime when you need it it's just so far away from your current location. To get to the nearest toilet, you need to traverse 300 yards west, conquer 2 nothern hills and double jump up another 10 flight of steps.

Now that you are about to complete your quest, the worse thing that can happen and which it did, is see a yellow sign board placed in front of the entrance saying "floor wet"!

What happens next is curse and swear hurled at the toilet auntie inside. I have already lost count of how many times I scolded these aunties silently in my heart, "Lunch time clean what toilet!!! so many people want to use you clean!!! can't you clean other times??"

I was not alone, from our body expressions and unanimous lip sync-ing, I conclude that we are all equally F5-ed and annoyed...

PART 2:

On the way home, we pack ourselves like sardines in 95 bus as usual. Because it's also time for people to knock off, there were also those working old aunties. Conincidently, I saw the same cursed toilet auntie again! But not exactly, because as she strips (old auntie lah! what you thinking!) off her lvl 12 cleaner robes after work, she gains 1058 exp, changing her status immediately.

She is no longer the lvl 12 evil cleaner who deprives us of physical and psyhcological relief. She is now transformed into The Elderly who enjoys discount rides and priority seating on SMRT buses.

At lvl 48, in her disguised form she stands, holding on to the seat handle in front of you, she openly cast lvl 19 pricks into many of our conscience. Those of us who succumb before she exhaust her mana (and mana pots), fall prey to The Elderly and give up their seats eventhough they paid full fares!

The Elderly then possessed the very first victim('s seat) with an increased attack speed buff. The rest of her targets usually suffer damage over time until they get off the bus.

Luckily for me, I have the Gem of True Sight.

PART 3:

Discuss.

Filial piety is not a duty, it is not a must.

This post is me against a conventional teaching: My mother got angry with me one day (quite some time ago). And when she got angry, she ran away from home for a day. During that time, she confided in one of her friends whom I shall call him Uncle here. Many many days later, I got a ride from Uncle together with my mother again. Incidently, Uncle picked up a small book and chuck it to me and said: "Read this. Don't always shout at your mother (跟妈妈大声小声)" It was a children buddhist book in the car which has its title translated to english to sound something like: "It's hard to repay our parents who have gone through hardships for bringing us up." Straight away you and I know what the book is about. Without shame and guilt, I know exactly where I am going to counter the arguments in the book already. I read quickly (it was not hard to speed read, it's for kids!) and it goes exactly (in meaning) as what I am going to recite here: A high monk and his disciples...
