Ghosts from the past...
as it turned out, i missed zoukout. i missed paul van dyk. lots of unforeseen circumstances; frens not being able to make it due to gf, frens not able to make it due to work, frens not being able to confirm till the day itself, where the tix are at 48 bucks! so in the end, the remaining few of us decided that its not gona be worth it so we did the unthinkable....
it dint help that while watching the news the next day, i saw a short clip on it. those people were having fun man! and from what i've read, paul van dyk's set was even better than the last time he came down. damn damn. well, wateva, made a choice, now live with it.
really looking forward to fri, coz thats when i will be getting my pay. not exactly sure how much it is but shld be in the 300+ region. hope it hits 400 and beyond. gona be spending part of it on the car. 30 bucks is already gone coz i got a summon the other nite. i dint put parking coupon but it was freaking 1+ am! damn. those aunties are really garang. diligently doing their job, even in the wee hours.
actually it feels kinda weird, when i saw the parking ticket on the windscreen, i dint feel a thing. usually i will be a little pissed but tis time ard, nothing. juz took the ticket and calmly folded into half and put it into my wallet. hmm...
anyway, was there at 1+am coz i went for a drink with a couple of my buds, L and T. we were all feeling kinda down due to diff prob and i wanted a nice cold beer to go down my throat.
T juz lost about 6k on impulsive bets. he sorta placed the bets under peer pressure. and he dun have 6k rite now. think hes prob gona borrow from loan shark or something. sigh. he cant turn to his parents. he cant turn to his frens, he did that before already. i cant help coz im only left with 100+ in my bank. he still owes me 1.5k and another fren 900+ before he placed those bets. so he felt really bad. i dun blame him really. think if it was anyone else i would have screamed my head off but i actually sympathise with him.
been through quite a bit with him before. knew him in sec 3 from playing soccer even though we were from diff sec sch. ended up playing for the same church team (hes a buddhist and im a free-thinker, ironic huh), going to the same jc, got into sch's soccer team together, flunked exams and got retained together, ended up in same class, skipped lect to play soccer together. i almost killed him and another buddy even, in a car accident at changi airport. haha. thats another entry for another day.
ok, back to the story. L was feeling pissed coz he felt that one of his frens is always trying to "steal" the gers he liked.
as for me, i was reminiscing about the good times spent with her earlier and kinda got a little down coz of that.
so it was 3 guys, 3 hoegaardens, and a pack of marlboro. beer and cigs really complement each other. me and T are not really that close to L, in the sense that we do hang out but we dun tell him much about our lives, coz of his character. so L dint know that T juz lost 6k. both T and L dint know that i was feeling blue...i dun like to show guys my "weak" side. juz pretended that all is well. to them, im always the crappy happy-go-lucky kinda guy, with not a care in the world, who will never allow himself to be dejected coz of a ger. yah rite. im finally beaten...
===================================
the next day, ie sat, was juz slacking at home when pj called. shes like my bestest gal pal ever. she was with her bf at changi ferry terminal and wanted me to go down to meet them. her bf dared her to call me and think she kinda wanted me and the bf to hang out and click a little. haha. ok, why not. its a super ulu place man.
met them, then she remembered that i told her how wonderful bedok jetty was and asked me to bring them there. gladly obliged. she took her bf's car and followed my lead.
the beautiful thing about driving at nite in ulu areas is you get to speed! it felt real good, windows wound down, speeding down changi beach road (i think) then ecp at 140km/h, all the while blasting my music. i wish i could that more often, but gota spare a tot for my fuel tank. think the bf had a hard time trying to keep up, and i had to slow down a few times so that he wun lose sight of me too. haha. yea i noe, im crazy.
ended the nite with prata bomb at thomson. i love the prata there, its really excellant. crispy prata rocks.
===================================
i was struggling with a temptation previously and it has juz got worse. now theres 2 temptations. one of my ex flings contacted me and we chatted for an hr plus. i think she wana get back to where we left off. she asked me out for a movie on sat. hmm...i know where both will lead to......nowhere....
if i was in this situation a year ago, i would yield straight away. but now, im actually having reservations. i have to admit that im still a little affected by her. she had a deep impact. im wondering if i should be an ass again, and theres something telling me that i shouldn't.
strange how you can never have the things you desire, but stuff that you dun care for are all around you.
i had it in my grasp, and i let it slip away....
oh yeash...nicoll highway is back in operation! great news!
