...Tri...
For all the hustling and jolting. The sweats from all forms of species all around you. The super extra duper long horrendous queues of the night. The cramps in the legs from too much standing up. For all of that, the view was just breath taking. To top it all of what a great picture yup ?
Yah finally I managed to catch the fireworks festival this year. And it was cool. I still do not know from where this TEAM CALEDONIA hails from but their work is impressive. Ha! Never mind that every time I go to Esplanade to catch fireworks, I will always be stuck viewing it partially under a tree. Never mind that, it was still magnificent and just so awe.
Anyway I got the nights opening sequence for all of you.See what I meant by the tree ? Haha. In all honesty though, I really enjoyed myself just indulging in the majestic view that lighted up the night sky.------------------------------------------ There was so much more time that night that it would have been wasted not to watch any movie. I finally caught a movie since Superman. Nope, I still have yet to catch Pirates2 by the way. Not Click, not Tokyo Drift but I watched The Lakehouse.
What a wonderfully crafted story. Ha my date retorted something like, "Ada ke crita macam gini in real life." Haha "Kan cita dongeng."
In all seriousness there would never be such a peculiar thing to happen as such but then again. We may never know. The underlying meaning of the story meant so much to me, really. Anyway I really suggest all singles with a waning heart to go watch this. It'll put some thoughts into your head. My therapist was talking to me before I fell asleep,
Therapist RIDAK: So how was the movie ?
Me: It was good
Therapist RIDAK: You do know such things dont happen, right ?
Me: Of course, I told my date that.
Therapist RIDAK: Excellent, think you're on your way to recovering then...
Me: ...but...
Therapist RIDAK: ...?
Me: *Pauses imminently*
Therapist RIDAK: OK now. I understand what you're going through. I watched the movie too. Damn good I must say. Just one word of advise, dont dwell too much on waiting. Those things just happen in the movies. You should know by now that you've got to pick yourself up. Waiting and waiting and you might just find yourself to have waited your whole life through...
Me: ...
Therapist RIDAK: Unless of course you're so certain that you're going to wait at a US mail letter box by a lake, pop a letter or 2 in it, find some one answering it, so you wait and pray so hard and at the end of it all...Ah you know what happens...
Me: Ok that doesnt help much doc ?!?
Therapist RIDAK: Want to switch places ??
Me: You're the one with the clinical psychiatry degree.
Therapist RIDAK: Glad we understand that...since you know what happens, and you know it wont happen, why don't you just...
...zZzZz...
I swear I almost teared when Alex was just about to cross the street
:(Somewhere in the middle of the story, when V day was already mentioned, I think I knew how the story was going to end. Never did I imagine it ended like that. So so touching. Sob*
Now I can understand why Lady Hackwrench was reflecting after she caught the movie. For I did too. I really did...
Reflecting will always get reflections. Dwelling doesnt reap to much rewards doesnt it ? Do I even make sense ?
Now where's my Doc again ?
------------------------------------------ The night was drawing to a close. It had been a long day...
Oh I finally did get to taste the chicken chop at Bendemeer. Guardian Angel is right, its so damn nice the chicken chop there. When I savoured the chicken chop though, my thougts that were still full of reflections and the lake house, lingered far off into the past. I use to remember ordering chicken chop for
her.
"Chicken Chop Satu. Coleslaw tanak, Baked Beans pun tanak eh"And ever so once in a while the same joke pops up from the vendor...
"Chicken chop dia tanak jugak kan"
Haha thats the main reason why I was always doing the ordering. To be fair to my date yesterday, I wasnt being fair to her. My thoughts were constantly lingering off, flying to never neverland. Dont think she had the slightest idea.
She was sweet la this gerl. Long hair, luscious lips, quite mature thinking. Maybe there was just 1 setback.
Call me traditional or whatever that you want. I am the type of guy who always pays for the dates, whenever my pocket is full of course
:P Haha anyway it was our first date, she didnt even offer to pay the slightest bit. That was the only drawback. Like I say though, she is a nice girl. And we have something in common, we love movies, so at least I know who to call to watch movies with. Ha.
So lady readers out there, am I traditional in expecting the girl to offer to pay. By far, I dont really want her to pay. You know, just that slight gesture of trying to take out the wallet is enough. Oh well...
*ponders on whether to display the pics*
Oh what the heck, the picture looks nice. And Im starting to really appriciate my FujiFilm FinePix E500
(",)
Don't ask me why I took the tree or Ngee Ann City. I needed models for my photography skills to be polished. Wahaha and my date gladly obliged to be my model for the night. Eh my photography getting better, no ??
Oh by the way, I think I am so like Kate.
