a meeting with the wonderboy

in another looking-for-part-time-job day...
i was inside the crowded train.

when i saw this lil boy playing rubiks.
*rubiks is the square thingie with six colours, the one will smith plays
in the 'pursuit of happynes'.

after a while, i got my seat and it was a few feet away from the boy.
then, when the train got closer to novena,
this boy's hand became quicker and quicker in fixing the puzzle.
and when that famous woman's voice said 'novena'...
he put the rubiks and took his hand off the rubiks.
which actually means i am done...

and then i checked and looked at the rubiks.
it was really done...

then when that woman said again 'doors are closing'
and the doors were closing.
the boy started to mess up the rubiks again.

i just realised that the boy were fixing the puzzle between two stations.
and the time limit is the time travel between the two stations.

the most breathtaking one is between newton and orchard.
when the 'orchard' word was cried,
he was still doing it.
he was not finish.
and then when the train stopped.
his hands became quicker and quicker.
he was breathing quickly...

then the doors were opening,
and quickly after that, he threw the rubiks into his bag.
took his hands off.
with a satisfied face, he looked at me and
stretched his lips to form a very broad smile.

was still amazed by him,
i also smiled, a big smile.

the time attack game was played by the boy for several times.
until we reached somerset,where i needed to go down.
to go to check my lovely holiday inn hotel.
where, actually he also went out from the train.
