Of the Blonde,the Pink and the Old Times
Woke up at 830,again.It was actually misty outside this morning,with an odd buring smell in the air.I guess it has something to do with the forst fires in Indonesia again?Hmm.Oh well,it mightve been due to the high humidity in the night.Who cares,the city actually looks better with mists surrounding it anyway.Guitar practises.Argh.Dreadful.Reason:Boredom.Though Tomas was not that to terrorist most of us,but the tune of the song kept repeating in our heads and drowning us in little black musical notes and song sheets.Some of the most boring hours came from guitar practises.Not to mention the intense pain at the tips of my left fingers after each practise.However,it is fun in a way.To be able to be distracted from the daily work.I guess i'll rather have this than more school work?So it ended at 12nn and we packed up to place the guitars back into the music room.As we walked down the stairs Grace,Yilin and I decided to go to the LOTR Exhibition together.Not that i mind anyway,since we are all big fans of the movies.(And books.)However,we havent settled on the date yet.Argh.Anyway,I went home immediately afterwards and hit my beds.I was too tired and my head was throbbing.Not to mention my fingers too.Soon,i fell into a deep sleep and was drown in thoughts.5pm,i was woken up by my Aunt.Oh by the way,my mother and sister flew back to Taiwan this morning to attend the funeral held next week if im not wrong.I got tests so,couldnt make it.Glad that grandma understands.Anyway,so my Aunt came over on Monday to take care of me.Yes,though i called myself Mr Independent a few entries ago,i cannot survive a day without food.Or at least someone to take care of me.Oh well,i guess i will learn the wonders of independence in army.Anyway,so she woke me up at 530 and i sat up in my bed.The sun was setting in the West and buildings casted great looming shadows on the swimming pools down below.Kids swam in the swimming pool as the parents busily packed up for dinner at home.And as for me,i was about to go out for dinner with my 1s24 friends.Ha.Cant wait.So i got out of bed and changed into my Bums tshirt and pants,stuff my wallet into the right pocket,alongside some coins,then my handphone into the left.Plugged in the headset and i was ready to go.Efficient eh?Stepped out into the afternoon sun and felt the heat striking against my face like thousands of bunsen burners thrown at you.(Dont ask why i used Bunsen Burners as part of the analogy.It kinda sucks but who cares.You know what i mean dont you.)I walked down the path beside the drain and saw the basketball,as well as the volleyball girls training.Bernice mustve been really pleased with that.(Chuckles.)Reached the 22 bus stop and waited for it to come.That bitch in front better stop puffing smoke into my face or else i will stuff whatever thats left in the pack into her candy ass.22 arrived,i boarded.Listened to Perfect 10 as the bus slowly sped down the road.Fast forward.(Whizzzz...)I got onto the MRT and saw this arabian lady with her robe or scarf,whatever you call it,covered from head to toe.Save for the area around her eyes.Wow,she has really beautiful eyes.Deep shade of brown and eye lashes reaching out like thorns.She got into the same carriage as i,and for a moment i forgot the potential danger that lady has.After the Madrid train bombing i totally forgot her relations to the terrorists through Islam,and to the bombing of the trains.And i was IN a train with a lady from an Arab country,covered from head to toe with a bag as big as 3 watermelons in her hand.Doesnt that just remind you of a scene from Madrid?Hmm.People eyed her suspiciously as the MRT sped down the track.Oh well,she got off at Little India and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Over-reaction i guess.But cant be too careful.Damn,i was half an hour early!Reached there at 6pm and i actually strolled.On purpose.Why am i always the early bird?The early birds get to eat the worms?How about this:The early worms get eaten.So i sat down at Dhoby Ghaut MRT,and waited for time to kill itself as soon as possible.I was already starving and i couldnt wait another minute without food.Finally,as i was playing games on my handphone,a guy stepped up to me from in front.I didnt notice him at first until he greeted me.I looked up,and saw this weird looking guy in pink tshirt and a blonde hair.And i mean,blonde.Dragon Ball blonde,seen it?It was close to the mark.It was Harrison.My mouth dropped and said,"You have to change hairstyle every single time i see you huh?"He laughed and we started talking about how much his hair cost and how his teachers in school actually thought that his hair was cool.(Yes,teachers.)Incredibly,we actually managed to carry on that conversation for 15 minutes.Me and Harrison never really clicked.But this afternoon,we did.All because of his stupid hair.Nigel came soon after,followed by Sandra,who was completely shocked by Harry's hair.Pink and Blonde.He was definitely the highlight of the day.Topic of the day as well.Target for jokes at the same time.Jane and Serene came together,and bursted out laughing when they saw Harry's new look.Deehui came with her boyfriend,but he left soon afterwards.I didnt get to see that dude though.Sad.Met up with Nat at PS and we went upstairs to eat Swensens.I ordered Fish and Chips,which was awfully small for my liking.Got a good scoop of Nat's chicken baked rice and DAMN,that tasted good.Icecream came soon after and i finished by Frosted Chocolate Malt.Holy,that was good too.(Though it was the last to arrive.)We sat there and talked about the old times,life in JC,poly for Harry's case.The future and results.Jokes and more jokes.Nat poured us with jokes that none of us seemed to understand.It felt really good to sit with old friends and talk about life again.Like i was back in Burger King chatting with them and playing heart attack.Haha.That i wont forget.Time flew,and by the time we payed our bills it was 9+.So we headed towards Singapore Shopping Centre and went up to Funky Balls to play pool.(Yeah,Funky Balls.Funky huh?)Me and Serene actually forgot which floor its at,so we had to go down from the 7th floor.Search floor by floor.After a couple of tries we managed to find the floor and got into the place.It was packed,even at 9pm it was full of people.We were the 4th in line,so we had to wait outside for a table.Nigel and Harry got bored,so we went up to buy credits for some arcade action outside the pooling place.Harry and Nigel had their fingers dancing upon the buttons and joysticks while the girls played datona.I took over and challenged the computer.Of course,the game ended with a pathetic result.Which i will not reveal.Finally,our turn came and we started some ball hitting action on Table 4.DeeHui and Sandra thought it was already late,so they left before us.Serene left soon after,with Harry as her personal escort to the MRT station.Harry's father complained about him being out at 11pm at a pooling place.So he had to leave as soon as possible,leaving Nigel,Jane Nat and I.We opened another table and started playing on both.I lost a game to Nigel,but won another.Of course,as the pathetic pool player i wont because Nigel whacked Ball number 8 into the hole before he got his balls in.Luck i'll say.We stopped playing at 1130pm and the 4 of us rushed to the MRT station to catch the last train,and the last bus for Nat's place.We said goodbye to him before the Glass House,and the 3 of us literally ran to the MRT station.Caught the MRT and took it back.Surprisingly,the carriage was packed with people as well.Considering the time,it had amazing large amount of people.Jane,Nigel and I stood all the way,and talked about our schools and juniors.How she was pestered by boys a couple of months ago.(Yeah,boys.)Oh well,i got off at Bishan and took a cab home.I was too lazy to catch the last bus home anyway.Haha.It was a fast ride and it only took me 4 bucks.Nigel asked Jane to message both the guys when she get home,just in case anything happens.Thats very kind of you Nigel,i should learn from you once in a while.And so she did,calling me later when she got home,and asked me about maths as well.Now,it is 250am,and i am still hyped about today.It was fun.Finally got my chance to come out from my house and breath the air of the city again.More importantly,the presence of old friends,and old times.Hope to see you guys soon.Some day we will meet again.;) You guys are the greatest.1s24 forever.Peace out.Z.
