had a brilliant day out with pong pong today.. :) enjoyed myself thoroughly while he kept me entertained with his childish antics and annoying gestures.. haha.. i wonder how someone nearing forty can still be so young at heart.. it's definitely the upbringing.. i like the way pong's family functioned.. at least from the way i know it.. a close knitted, funny, cosy family.. wish mine was like that.. we were at the harbin ice sculpture thing.. its so ex boy! but we din stay inside long.. and to think we put 1.5 hours worth of coupon when we spent less than 20 mins inside.. cos we were both freezing. he's lousy man! wearing long pants long shirt with a down jacket, he was still freezing.. i was pretty ok, just that i was wearing slippers, and after 15 minutes, i couldn't feel my toes at all and they really hurt a lot.. couldn't walk on.. the sculptures were beautiful.. wonder how long it took to make them.. haha.. we were both so childish.. there's this ice slide thingie.. and many kids were on it.. he dared me to try it.. so of cos, baorong's always ready for a challenge.. i went up, he too.. and then he chickened out.. but ya... i forced him to go down first.. cos i knew he will pang say me if i went down first.. haha.. oh man.. he looked totally like a kid.. sliding down that ice slide with the hood of the down jacket over his head.. i pushed him down and as a retribution, i slipped and landed hard on my butt.. i have no idea why.. but i slided down so so so slowly.. pong kept laughing that i was heavy that's why.. a lot of teasing man.. shud have brought our cameras man.. not worth the 16 bucks we paid.. but it was all fun and nice.. brought back intense memories of korea.. when i felt that chill upon my face.. that tingling sensation of your nose hurting cos its unprotected.. that coldness that one can never experience in singapore.. except these kinda exhibits of cos.. :)
then we went to bugis to while away the rest of the coupon time.. we walked ard.. and i bumped into a girl our age who taught with me at hong kah.. she was like.. looking at me with that weird expression.. no doubt questioning why i was out with a guy so much older than me.. wah.. i hate it man.. HATE IT TOTALLY. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS GIRL! stop peeping and trying to steal a sneak peek at my friend and then try to figure out his age and the reason why we're out. some things do NOT have to be explained. it made me really uneasy.. cos.. .. i just can't put the feeling down in words.. you have to be there in that situation.. i dunno.. i never question anything when i see a person going out with someone of the opp sex who's much older, esp when they're not hanky pankying around anyway. i dun see sth wrong with making friends with ppl of all ages.. darn society man.
but anyway, no use getting so worked up.. we sat down at mos and talked and talked and talked and talked.. talked till the cows came home.. and got milked and produced baby cows.. talked about everything under the sun.. about family, life, relationships, etc.. and then headed down to sentosa for a leisurely drive.. but we ended up sitting at some cockroach-infested rock at tanjong beach, talking and talking again.. asking him about all the business stuff.. stock market, private and listed companies, investment banking and stuff.. and a lot of other random stuff.. it was definitely enlightening.. hours just fly by talking.. i just feel so at ease with him.. so happy..
then we went to marina food loft for dinner.. got lost in that mega shopping centre.. there's just too many corners there.. scary! finally found it.. saw david foo and his gf.. and i saw mr tan (the PE teacher!!) with his gf (i suppose?).. haha.. after dinner, we had a few rounds of car racing at the arcade.. (not talking about the results of the races imply a bad outcome).. and then it was home.. accompanied by sounds of josh groban and some weird stuff.. and of cos.. dear pong has to make funny noises and sing funnily.. and make my sides ache with laughter.. forgot to add! the violinist at centre stage at marina bay's good! he plays good violin.. and of cos, he's cute! haha..
with that.. a fun-filled day just ended.. human relationships are really really strange and inexplicable. its a wonder how our paths crossed and we became so close.. things would have taken a totally different turn if i have made a different decision at some point earlier in my life. i guess i have to believe in fate. cos everything's too amazing to just happen by chance. and of cos, i firmly believe that everything happens for a reason. people come into my life to teach me something, and even if i do not realise it now, in the future, i know that their influence on me will definitely be revealed.
all lives are so mysteriously intertwined. sometimes i can't wait to find out what the future holds.
To Where You Are
Josh Groban
Who can say for certain
Maybe you’re still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear
Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You’re still an inspiration
Can it be (? )
That you are mine
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above
Fly me up
to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
to know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are
Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn’t faith believing
All power can’t be seen
As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday’
cause you are mine
Forever love
Watching me from up above
And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave
Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are
I know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are
