Old habits die hard...

My Favourites

I just bathed. It wasn't the best of bath because I did not bathe in my favourite cubicle. My favourite cubicle is the one in the middle. That should be rather unambiguous for those staying in sheares, since there's only 3 bathing cubicles in every sheares' toilet. The one in the middle is the one in the middle.

My first thought when I saw that it was occupied was, damn, must be Hansen bathing lah. Hansen and I have been vying for the middle cubicle since our days on level 2. While the middle toilet is my favourite cubicle, but like most things in life, I never fight too hard for the things I like. Thus, I can't be bothered to wait for the person occupying the middle toilet to finish bathing so I simply made do with the one on its right.

While bathing, it dawned on me that I am a person who doesn't have much favourites in my life. Unlike some people who have favourite colour, favourite animal or favourite number, I don't have any favourite of those. Blue, yellow, black, white, brown...zebra, lion, banana, giraffe or 1, 7, 13, 11...I don't really care. But, I always have a favourite cubicle, wherever I go.

In Science, my favourite cubicle is located in the toilet of Level 5 of S14. Sometimes, while doing my business, I think of sharing with you guys the splendid experience of being in the cubicle...and I wish I can bring you guys to visit it. However, most of you are not in Science, so it's rather impossible. And I don't think any of you is as crazy as me as to go all the way up to a Level 5 just to shit....considering the lift serving S15 and S14 is as slow as a 386.

Now that I think about it, my collection of favourite cubicles started as early as in my Chinese High days. I use to have the habit of shitting before morning assembly and I always do it at the toilet located beside Kah Kee Hall. I don't know how that toilet turned out to be my favourite toilet in Chinese High, just like I don't know how the S14 Level 5 cubicle or how the middle cubicle of sheares turned out to be my favourite cubicles. They are affinities I can't explain. To me, it's a love deeper than most can understand.

So, after a not-that-satisfying bath, as I passed by Hansen's room, I noticed his slippers were wet....ahhh....and I said to him, 'eh tmd, you just bathed in the middle cubicle issit?' To which he replied, 'haha...next time la you' And Kenny, who was in his room, shouted, 'The middle cubicle is mine!' Hansen and I couldn't take it lying down and we both rebuked, 'The middle cubicle is mine loh'

And so, I realise I'm not alone in this business of adopting favourite cubicles. (Damn, I wish i was the only one with a favourite cubicle)
