as these few days, i m free from work, i've the luxury of my own time (really appreciate this especially when sch term is commencing in few days time). This mid-noon, I was walking along blk 201 to the central bustop, when i saw this old man frm quite a distance, holding on to his umbrella, tapping it twice before making his every step forward.
I was not in a hurry, walking slowly, looking at him, alot of things went through my mind and before i realised it, i had walked passed him. Suddenly, my legs made a decision to turn back. i don't know whether my legs controlled my mind (although technically, it shd be my brain thats sending a msg to my trotters) or some part of my sub-conscious is still working amidst of the scorching sun at 330pm.
He was walking right by the curb to lead himself, but as i hold him, i realised that it could be dangerous as he might just tripped over the curb and also, the ground is not flat. I walked him to the 202 coffeeshop. On the way, I asked him if he does that everyday since it's so hot, he told me he visit the coffeeshop twice a week for coffee. From his eyes, i could see a very thick greyish matter in his eyes. I supposed he's got quite severe glaucoma, yet, he can still make his way from amk central (where he lives) just to have a cup of coffee.
through the walk, i realised alot of things including those i learnt n forgot. Since young, I m always few steps slower than most (yeah, i m not the smartest people around). I am glad that I turned back in the end because I might just regret ( not to jinx anything but i m that sort who would think abt 'what if i did that'...) I mean i really want to minimise these kind of hesitation and not give regrets any chance.
Secondly, sometimes, being in a closer position (be it physically or emotionally), allows u to see things at their position clearly and I m really thankful for my legs in this situation. (read: 3rd paragraph first and second line).
Thirdly, of course, the uncle's coffee-spirit lol despite the difficulties in his mobility and the angry mid-noon sun.
it's nothing major but it's always these little bits of things that remind and bring me back on track.
After I found a seat for him and ordered his coffee. He offered to buy me coffee to thank me...but he had already thanked me with a lesson.
nothing beats school of life.
where nobody graduates.

.
sometimes, i just wish to agree that parents will selflessly protect their children.
but i beg to differ.
or at least add an addtional line behind, 'to a certain extent.'
to all unscrupulous parents.
cheers to the successful attempt of ur aims.
and the gain of eternal disappointment from your kids.
i begin to doubt parental relationships. hate to say this but whatever kinds of love has been long toxicated by the root of all evil, i suppose. and like pesticide (or whatever-u-call-it) in animals, they carried through generations in the chain of life.
and if death can solve every problems, humans would have been longed extinct. Maybe thats how dinosaurs died and fossils formed. but wait, they are beasts.
indifferent.

today as i was surfing the net for some song titles, i came across some old chinese songs...(not theresa teng that kind of old, but jacky cheung's era...his cantonese songs still sound as nice as when i was 9.. i made my my dad bought the wen bie's album which was in gold colour. Cheung was my first idol ok, at 9. before that it was tom n jerry sticker album craze (those with numbers for specific stickers...that made our parents broke hahaha), i still remember the satisfaction when i completed a book. Especially when competing with nono.
Then, i suddenly remembered that i always wanted to find this particular song for many years, not kidding. It was a theme song for a hk/taiwanese drama called 京港爱情线. This drama aired 3 times in Singapore. I watched all 3 times. Before the recent Korean wave, my mum was amazed by how captivated i was by a drama. hahaha and Now i am just as amazed by the mother with how she can watch 愛上女主播 or rather 張東健 every.day. for quite awhile.
Anyway, back to the song. It is by Jeff Chang. DAMN NICE OK? hahahai still remmeber how fustrated n annoyed when i couldn't find it in IRC.... @FIND @FIND ...browse lists n lists of jeff chang's songs until my eyes popped out n in but still with no avail.... and the fact that i was only able to touch the computer at wee hours in the morning...ya..those were the days...when i was using dialup...ok, now i m beginning to recall the dialing tone and the eeeeeeeeeeee with 28.8k modem...beige with a green strip that lines a stretch of flickering red lights...
what? oh, how i remembered so clearly?...thats because everytime i dial up, i would stare eagerly at the tortoise modem. until it gt connected, cos time is precious, especially when u can only use the internet after everyone's asleep. kanna gui . it's pathetic.
haha maybe u guys have watched it before. It's a really nice show. It's about love relationships between 2 couples from Hongkong and Beijing.... i still remember i really like jacqueline ng's (wu chien lien) character in it. Yeah, I luv it a more than decade years ago, when i was in primary sch...i still have deep impression of her character in there as Fong Ming. and u can see Moses Chan aka Pretty ok in 唐心風暴...if u all wanna watch it, i gt the VCD. err yes, VCD...got it for 5 bux. hahahaha enjoy.
Just as i thought that theres 3 more weeks of hols, weiching just reminded me that it's only 1 week left of my precious precious holidays!!!...time flies... and i'ts journey to the west for me everyday...literally.
n ian, haha yeah, i wanna car pool!!!!!!! send me ur schedule!!!!!!!!! rawr...

just what is wrong.
dear blog
yours truly has got a job afew days ago. Very happy, as it can fill up the hole in my pocket and as well as to earn money for the next semester. Just wanna earn as much as possible during these few weeks and not sponge from the house. Work is at my previous previous co. in bouna vista. =)
work aside, these 2 days haven been gd...felt super low, especially yesterday..i m alr very low within, and during work, some of my colleagues brought up a very sad case...and if it's not enough, my shoes straps snapped.=/
at the end of the day i felt i really need to talk to someone...but those few whom i can talk to were not exclusively available...so end up calling tris and company...as usual, end up only the 3 of us. anyway it's sorrow dripping session, so 3 is not a crowd.
wanted to go to a peaceful place, so tris suggested afew...and we ended up in keppel marina..really nice place. even though we dressed like shit, esp zw, in his usual tees and berms. I thought i would tear ....but i didn't. Sometimes, we can't deny the fact that life is really what u watch on tv..dramatic, so reel yet...so real.
Just as i thought i've felt abit better, on the way back home, after dropping zw...the car infront of tris's great white made an e-brake and the next moment, *bam*!. his car got kissed by a taxi behind. Lucky thing, his car was alright, otherwise i'll be damn guilty.... i know i shd count ourselves lucky, as it could have been worse *touchwood*....thank all gods.
anyway, hope this dull emo season will phase out soon...
peace.
i hate facebook. as much as friendster.
