Never quite realised the significance of every half swing of the pendulum clock, now, have we? No matter how you look at it, it's just a goddamn half swing. That blink of an eye and it swings to the right now instead of to the left..
Never been bothered bout how few seconds, or even a few minutes would matter or if it would make any sort of difference. Until recently.

It was since driving to utar that i realise, few minutes make a hell lot of difference.
The difference of few minutes determines of 'a lot of parking spaces' and 'no more parking spaces'.
I'm damn serious. Though it might sound kinda impossible.. but. It's like coming early to UTAR at 10 minutes past 7 in the morning, parking near UTAR - and here i don't even mean near the main entrance.. forget the parkings near the main entrance unless you're talking about coming at 6.30am in the morning! So anyways, at least at 10 past 7 it's kinda empty still, so hey, pick one of the nearest parking and park alright. After parking, turning off the engine, adjusting yourself and whatnots before you get down of the car, for all you know, in that 3-4 minutes, look to the then empty parking spaces and all you see, is now parked with cars.
Freaks you out, kinda. No?
Especially the 1st few times; but you'll get used to it.

And then, there's also what mattered within seconds.

A month ago, I was driving damn early in the morning on the way to uni. Suddenly, there was this taxi that was speeding and took a sharp turn into the junction about 100 metres in front from where i was. Both jz and i being amazed, were like.. "Wah! the taxi damn yeng right".. only to find moments later the taxi was heading towards us and didn't turn enough to allow enough distance for it to get off our lane in time. It was still damn fast. Mind you. We were almost going for a head-on... Thank goodness I swerved to the left on instinct in time.. and it missed by this little -->| |<--...
Kinda makes me wonder what if i was few seconds earlier that day and the whole scenario would have changed. Or if i was driving a wee bit faster that day. Crash and burn.
Meh o.O

And just maybe now, a milisecond, or perhaps even a nanosecond of decision.. could put my life into a swing.
Dilemma. Between a regret, and a... another regret?
Bah.
All i have to do is just that little gesture with 0.00000001 Joules of strength.. ..

Right. What next..?
tick.
tock.
tick.
.. ..patience.

Imagine the number of thoughts that goes through your mind each second.
tick.
How? What? And others mainly comprising 'What's.
tock.
Just maybe, there's no 'what' anyway...
tick..
tock...

Some time kinda feels like forever, doesn't it?
Oh you know. When you're longing for something to happen.

Ironies.
Like the pendulum of life swinging to the left, and then right. And then left. And then right.. ..
