This guy at the library

I fucked around in Choa Chu Kang yesterday and the day before, for no reason really. Just felt like it. I walked around, I sat down, either way observing people around me. 

Just yesterday I spent about 3 or 4 hours sitting at the library just reading my book. Took a break to have lunch with 'Aamir at his school before coming back to continue reading. 

So this guy came along, quite well-dressed with jeans and sneakers [that's what I call nicely dressed, shut up] and sits down right next to me. Judging from the skin colour and the face, I could tell he was Malay because he just looked the part. [is that judging? But it was really obvious okay]

At this point of time I was looking at my book but I wasn't reading. I was looking at him. Not because he was hot and not because I was checking him out; I just had this sudden feeling to see what he was up to. 

He took out his headphones, plugged them into his ear, and took out a reading material. Upon closer inspection I saw that it was a comic, though I'm not sure what comic exactly. I saw Wonder Woman in a frame though, I think. 

So his headphones were on full blast, and at first hearing I heard some metal. But that changed; he pressed a few buttons [it was an iPod... the kind with buttons, because I could hear the click of the buttons when he was going through his playlist] and came the song It's Raining Men. 

Alright, so I got a little impressed that he played that song instead of the metal, I thought it was because he was reading and wanted something less noisy to accompany him. I was expecting some other classics or oldies to come after that. 

Later on I realised that he was just playing the same song over and over again; It's Raining Men. And the stranger thing about it was, he was constantly just pressing something like a "next track" button because I could hear the starts of other metal songs before his iPod settled on It's Raining Men. 

Right to the moment I left, he was doing the same thing: manually playing the same song on repeat [is it not possible to set to 'repeat current track'???] while calmly reading his comic.

I don't know, I find it so strange and funny, like it's something worth sharing and that's why I decided to write about this here. If it's not, then too bad, you still read it anyway.
