Inexplicable, unwanted event.. A road bump in your life..


Annoying morning happens to everyone. When it happened to me, a glitch of how life works struck me.

I rode my bike to work this morning, and somewhere along the way to the train station, I hit a bump, and I couldn’t care less. Until I realized that my right bar plug is missing, and that was when I was already on the train. This initiated some thoughts for me. Unhappy and curious thoughts. Why wasn’t it the both of them that were lost because of the bump? Because it’d make the idea of buying a pair of bar plugs ridiculous. Secondly, why did that happen to me? Losing a bar plug because of a road bump was, is, and never will be my fault. Neither can I blame anyone or anything about it. Funny how it is what it is. And lastly, I was already on the train…………… Against all possibilities, I thought “It’d make me look stupid if I go catch a train back and look for it”. From another point of view, most probably my significant other: if I did go back and find it, wouldn’t it make the “me” who did not care to go back and look for it looks stupid? Lesson learnt: stupidity is subjective.

Anyway, the bike looks really ugly with only one bar plug on the left. Asymmetric, UGLY!

I’d say I have been through road bumps in my life. Did I lose anything?
