tragedy of the commons

it began pouring by the time we were done with lunch, as predicted by cc.

despite knowing full well that cc would not bring umbrella for us folks stranded at the food court across the street, boss still sms'ed him. him and kaiyang. we placed our bets hopes on kaiyang to "deliver" us.

truly, cc played taiji and didnt' reply directly yes nor no, "it's just raining sir".

sadly, kaiyang didn't reply. i bore hopes that perhaps talk is cheap, he's already on the way here. who knows, he'll just appear in the next moment. but nonono. we waited and strained our necks, almost wanted to exchange $2 for the umbrellas ppl used to chop the seats beside us. haha.

kaiyang's explanation: it's tragedy of the commons.

lesson learnt: if u need help, don't message too many people cos ppl need to feel like u really need their help. butbut we only msg 2? sad max.

at this point in time, i will refrain from saying **.
