the waiting game

we spend all our lives waiting...don't we?

on a simple day...we wait for..
the bus, the MRT, the taxi..
our food to be ready, the end of the workday, bedtime..
we wait for the hawker auntie to give us back our change for our food..
we wait for our turn to tap the EZlink card on the gantry sensor
we wait for our turn to board the bus, the train, the taxi..
we wait for our favourite TV programme to start on the telly..

what else do we wait for?

we wait for our payday and the day where we can go shop to our hearts' content.
we wait for the rain to stop and the sun to shine on us again.
we wait for the clouds to dissipate.
we wait for that special someone to appear in our lives..
we wait for christmas to arrive..
we wait for our chance to win the lucky draw or hmm .. maybe TOTO?

day in, day out..it becomes a routine..
it becomes natural..
it just becomes part of you...

we wait to use the washroom..
we wait for the movie to start in the theatre..
we wait for our friends to come meet us somewher..
we wait for our dreams to be fulfilled..
we wait for someone to call..

gosh..how much longer do we have to wait?

all our lives I think...
