a smile and a sigh
Just when i thought it would be quite impossible to be visited once again by that familiar, long-yearned-for feeling of pure happiness. All of a sudden, i'm having flashbacks of those numerous occasions during the peak of my 20 years of life ( my JC times ) where i could feel this exact same exhilaration. And now, i tell it, ' It has been long since i last saw you. Do stay. ".
It was a terrible day right before it. I was extremely suffocated by all around me. How my colleagues just couldn't understand me, how they chose to behave in that manner that forces me to rethink my relationship (a relationship which was not of my choice) with them, how i couldn't stand being with people like them and THEN how i couldn't stand being with people altogether. The only thing that kept me going for the entire afternoon was the thought of meeting Lau, Dele and Zhao (slackers' inc --> >:]) in the evening at my place, to watch Infernal Affairs. And i got bloody depressed, i thought nothing in the world in that day could cheer me up. In fact, i was depressed to the extent i was dreading even the movie session and meeting the dearest bunch of people in my life.
Oh well. i gathered myself and decided to make the best out of things.
Before returning home , i decided to go down to NTUC and get some stuff: tang1 yuan2, chips , peanut soup and 5 lemons (which was meant for making lemon sugar to sweeten DIY popcorn but demmed, i couldn't find popcorn seeds which means i now have 5 lemons lying in mi fridge). Then i found out zhao was coming to Lot 1 anyway so i met him from there to go to my house straight. And Lau, was unreasonably late as usual(worst part is she never has a mobile with her, UNCONTACTABLE --> WE WERE STARVING!).
I was really excited yesterday night and INTENT on being a 10/10 host, though not many of the factors could be controlled by me.
(haha, thanks to MOM [i love ya!] for making konnyaku jelly, cutting up fruits [zhao: C is for Chiku --> who e hell uses dat in pri sch?] , chrysanthemum tea and claypot rice before she went out. she rocks!).
And zhao is just hilarious, carrying a bag of bout 20 mangosteens and a whole lot of longans he brought from some fruit party at his unit (now now taxpayers.. cooool it) ! Dele and i were laughing our heads off when i told her bout it. Ben4 dan4.
So the day took a turn for the better when i sorta 'braced' myself up for zhao (that's me, i jus dun like showing how bad things went for myself). Got him to bathe (dele insists --> SHOWER!!) and change into my HC PT attire. Then dele came with Infernal affairs 1-3 VCD. And Lau FINALLY ,in a taxi, apologetic and penniless.
So we sat around my small marble table in my living room, with cups, bowls, chopsticks and spoons; with chrys tea, claypot rice, little sauce dishes,a bottle of chilli and everything jus felt nice and homely. I was immensely glad these people were physically around me and more importantly, WITH me.
And throughout the movie, we had our fruits and jelly (chao1 bao3). Pretty good movie though i missed some parts here and there to clear the dishes (diligent host). And by then, i was more or less "REVIVED". And all these because of my friends,
(they're awake! haha, can hear dele and lau laughing. it's 8:34 am now!)
(ooh we just made pancakes. 11:37 am now. i'll continue)
And after wu jian dao, we were deciding if they wanted to stay over at my place and if we wanted to do Kbox. Then these VCD-grubbing FIENDS just started rummaging through my VCD/DVD drawers and then came the countless "HEY! i wanna borrow this. HEY! i wanna watch this" and there went 5-6 sets of VCD (most jap serials. my movies were REALLY crap--> my bro borrowed them). These PIRATES. Then we decided to watch Infernal 3 (i didn't want 2 cos it's young crappy eyecandy actors like Edison Chen). Infernal 3 left us all shocked and gaping at its ending (and verrry confused too) but oh well, we were too tired to bother.
And after Infernal 3 and two small glasses of Bailey (me and zhao--> can't believe zhao only likes PORTwine. its SWEET wine!) , the girls washed up and we slacked around a bit. Then we DECIDED it'll be a MOVIE MARATHON night! *hehe*
Haha, browsed through the remaining VERY crappy (only till this date i realised) collection of VCDs. And Lau and i were left with THE EYE and SCREAM 2 (now u know what i mean by 'CRAP' :] ). Oh man, u guys should have heard Adele moaning like a dying kitten! haha. She was SUPER scared. And she kept saying (very seriously) that she would have to leave if we watched either of the shows. And lau was saying stuff like : "SCREAM's just SHOCKING dele... it's alright dele...." BUT dele REFUSED to give in. Hehe, dat's when ZHENGYI comes in --> i secretly slipped SCREAM 2 into the DVD machine and started playing while distracting dele. AND ALL THIS WHILE, LOUSY DIU1 LIAN3 Zhao was SECRETLY scared and was quietly protesting. When we finally started the show, Dele was all wrapped in the blankets, making this crying noise and peeping out of the piles, she saw prob 1/27 of the screen?! And zhao got his discman and refused to hear the sound from the show. Diu lian de nan ren. haha he's gonna hate me for this.
BUT scream was SO obviously pirated that we HAD to do the EYE. And LAU and I were so disgusted at the show, we were half-asleep and STILL had to pacify the stupid dele who was playing BOUNCE on her hp while watching the show. These guys are jus great aren't they? >:) (we SO wanted to stop after disc 1 cos the show was worse than..... TROY. but i had no other shows, other than this 1 about bikini babes on a thai island (My brother is unbearably stupid) )
Haha, then we took another break after The Eye 2. Got all the pillows, blankets and bolsters out , and i made Sesame paste tang1 yuan2 with peanut soup (woohoooo! i rock) then everyone got cosy and warm except for ah zhao, whose blanket i confiscated cos he let it touch the floor THUS dirtying it) haha. We were supposed to watch some Brad Pitt " Snatch " which zhao said was pretty good but i was so sleepy i jus secretly went to sleep after the tang1 yuan2. haha. den i woke up a few times (cos dele and i shared a sofa so she kicked me accidentally a few times) and saw the screen all blue, figured all of us fell asleep so i went back.
It just rocks. Waking up at 6.30, with 3 of them all sound asleep and clearing up the bowls. It felt .. how would i put it...hopeful and full of possibilities. And at the moment, i felt so calm (i AM so easily fulfilled i realised) and so glad i was still capable of being happy. I was and am happy now. And i made breakfast for zhao (er...quite a lousy one. Quaker's cereal (dried up version) with abit of raisins, white coffee and bit elastic half-boiled eggs but STILL a breakfast) and sent him out to the bus stop for 'work'. haha then i went back and the two other pigs were still asleep. joy comes so simply doesn't it? jus opening up the balcony doors and letting a little sunshine come into a living room with 2 of my favourite girls soundly sleeping at 8 am and there. there's my little picture of joy.
~
When Lau and Dele woke up, they jus lied down on the sofas and started chatting in their blankies and all sleepy looking. Then I decided we shall make PANCAKES. haha. Had lotsa fun. Dele flipping the pancake onto the floor, lau insisting that the batter needs to be whisked constantly and only SHE could make the ROUNDEST pancakes which according to her, the ONLY way pancakes she should be. haha so we jus did pancakes, throw them onto plates, Lau loading them up with Maple syrup, Dele with bits of jam here n there (low fat girl mah) and ate while we continued making more! Lau jus KEPT bickering with me, because i think i spread batter better than she spread batter, but she obviously DOESN'T. And she kept arguing with me and we both decided we'll kill each other when we become suitemates (IF we do). Just ONE breakfast and we were at each other's throats. Can u imagine how we will get through the THOUSAND AND ONE breakfasts? haha.
And now as i am typing these, my golden girls are all on my brother's bed, chatting in a way i can only describe as LAZILY. (zhao> wasted lar.)
And goodbye, stupid insignificant people in my life, occupying vacant spaces in my life for equally stupid reasons. No more shall i give u any piece of my heart. For there are friends. And sometimes, that's all we need.
