After years of expensive education
A car full of books and anticipation
I'm an expert on Shakespeare, that's a hell of a lot
But the world don't need scholars as much as I thought

Maybe I'll go travelling for a year
Finding myself, or start a career
I could work the poor, though I'm hungry for fame
We all seem so different but we're just the same

Maybe I'll go to the gym, so I don't get fat
Aren't things more easy, with a tight six pack
Who knows the answers, who do you trust
I can't even separate love from lust

Maybe I'll move back home and pay off my loans
Working nine to five, answering phones
But don't make me live for my Friday nights
Drinking eight pints and getting in fights

I don't want to get up, just let me lie in
Leave me alone, I'm a twentysomething

Maybe I'll just fall in love
That could solve it all
Philosophers say that that's enough
There surely must be more

Love ain't the answer, nor is work
The truth eludes me, so much it hurts
But I'm still having fun and I guess that's the key
I'm a twentysomething and I'll keep being me

------Twentysomething, Jamie Cullum

我有兩隻同牌子的表,舊的A表是俊傑年前買給我的;新的B表則是今年5月因為A表壞了、順便慶祝我轉工(還是他出bonus?)而買的。

A表在今年5月停止轉動,初時以為只是耗盡電力,反正已戴了年多,遂拿往表行換電,豈料5分鐘後職員告訴我換了電後,表還是停頓,懷疑零件故障,因保用期已過,需繳交百多元維修費。俊傑也就順便買下同牌子、與某法國名著crossover的B表給我,修理後的A表安置在盒內。

上周日,發現B表愈走愈慢,懷疑又是電力問題,便打算往表行換電,同時找出A表更換配戴。但……

A表也停了。

看着A表,心裏很憤怒,因換電只不過是半年前的事,一是表行沒有換全新的電池,一是A表零件的問題比我想像中嚴重。總之,A表及B表也用不了,需要維修。

表行職員堅持要帶同B表保用證才可免費換電,手中單據頓變廢紙。我同時表示A表經維修後半年又壞了,職員表示若有單據可免費維修。有需要修理A表嗎?若B表修理好後我還是不戴A表的,所以也就沒有送A表往修理,把它放回盒內。若B表修理後再壞的話便另買新表好了。

一定不會是該牌子。

我雖不期望能與兩隻表「天長地久」,但「曾經擁有」至何時應由我決定吧?你們這樣說壞便壞算什麼?

很累。

一回家便睡覺。沒有時間與家人食飯、沒有時間溫習、沒有時間購物(但會因心情差買下千多元毫不逼切的護膚品)、沒有時間做運動,四肢蹦緊但無力,像會隨時倒下。

濕度下降,眼睛乾澀疲倦,常想合上眼。已練成隨時隨地入睡的本領。

每早必喝一杯咖啡,否則整天渾渾噩噩如行屍走肉。喝咖啡後須喝大量清水,不然會肚痛;但吃朱古力可停止痛楚。

腦袋不停運作,就算休息時也在想工作如何如何,又想不要再想工作,想東想西,最後不知去了哪裏。
