i heard a particular story once. i can't remember where i heard it. in fact, i can't remember the full story too.

it goes like this: there was once a couple. the husband would always be walking in front at his own pace. his wife would be behind him, trying her best to keep up with her husband's pace.

i can't remember what happened next. but if i were to guess what happened, the obvious answer would be: finally, the wife couldn't keep up anymore. she wanted to stop n take a break. but when she lifted her head and wanted to call out to her husband, he was already too far away. the husband walked on and when he finally remembered to turn back to check on his wife, she was already nowhere in sight. he wanted to go back and find her, but he had walked too fast and too far. he didn't know which path he took anymore. he didn't know the way to go back.

i seem to be coming up with a lot of sad stories recently. i wonder why too. so why did i mention this story? no particular reason. i just "reheard" this story in my dream last night. unfortunately, i only remember the beginning. anyone else heard this story? tell my the ending willya?

i've created a new blog! haha. i think everyone will have the time when they wan to write something in prose. be it a story, a thought, or whatever they wan to write. well at least i do. i always have the urge once in a while to write something. that's y i set up a new blog to differentiate my "creative writing" with my usual posts. i call my new blog the house in the clouds. dione asked me y. i guess it's because when we talk about day-dreaming, we always associate it with the clouds. so if i have a house in the clouds, then my mind will be able to go back to it when it wans to go wandering. haha. crapz.

i've posted my very first story today on my creative shack. the link is by the sidebar. it's in chinese though. anyway, it's quite a typical story but if u are feeling free or bored, it might just provide some entertainment. heehee. remember to tell me what you think of it after you read it k? = D

been blog surfing... "discovered" a few of my friends' blogs... some of them really impressed me.. think i will go back to read more often..

suddenly wondering what pple think of my blog. hey, pple who come to read my blog, leave comments leh.. haha.. i always only see the usual few pple leaving comments.. pple like dione, mary, jeffire, esther, juening, occasional comments from libby n miao.. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REST? haha. i do know of a few pple who visit my blog from time to time, but i dun see any coments from them whatsoever... i mean... isn't it only polite to acknowledge ur presence once in a while at least? u dun go to someone's house, enter without any notice and then leave rite? ok no offense meant, n i hope none is taken... i dun mean that u guys should stop reading unless u comment. haha. just curious what u all think. i mean, wouldn't u be? if u wrote a blog, u would be wondering who read it, what they think of it, etc. i know i dun always leave comments when i visit my friends' blogs. but normally if i find something that i wan to say, i would.

or maybe my blogs are really that boring that no one wans to say anything... hmm...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

dug up some REALLY old songs... been listening to them a lot recently. somehow i think, the newer songs aren't as nice or meaningful as the older songs... of cos there are good ones now n then, but they are getting really rare. ok pple who know me will know i listen more to chinese songs than english songs. i find the "golden age" seems to have been the 90s when the songs really leave lasting impressions. not just the melodies, more importantly the lyrics too.

but then again, like i said, recent songs can be nice too.

current fav songs: SHE's 恋人未满, SHE's 他还是不懂, Kelly Chan's 记事本. listen to them in order n notice the lyrics. maybe u might get something else. ; )

ARGH! no mood to study!!

hafn't blogged in a month... haha... obviously my life couldn't have been that uneventful. it's just that i was too nuah when i was free n when i had the inspiration i was busy. oh well.. today i have 3 major topics. i shall cut the crap n get to them. (geez... i sound like i'm reading off lecture slides..)

Dione's birthday

i was raving about it to everyone i saw shortly after i went to dione's party. haha. then dione asked me y didn't i blog about it. haha. yar hor? y didn't i think of it?

anyway, it was by far the best party i have been to. she had it at aranda country club. then we all agreed that the party felt more like a wedding reception.

she had the tv n tv table removed from the living room n in it's place was a small round table, covered in white satin or linen cloth... (didn't get a close look, but looks like either one) on it was a laptop n projector. the laptop was playing jazz music the whole night. the lighting was quite dim too... so i think u can all guess by now how nice the ambience was.

BUT that wasn't all, she had rose petals lining all along the walls n red n pink tea lights. and the petals could even be found in the toilets. haha. so cool.

then jeff made a nice clip full of pictures from her childhood all the way up to the more recent ones.. haha. so cute. envious rite? that she has such a nice "daddy". and her cake was very special too... it was really a "castle" of pink n white cupcakes. n the cupcake designs were really so "dione" haha. then all her guests left with a stalk of rose each. so sweet. i told zhehoung... ok! i shall give away balloons at my birthday! hahaha. what do u all think?

friends

i realise, i have been a very bad friend. i've neglected some of my friends. even some of those whom i promised myself to treasure. i guess as we all go our seperate paths.. we see each other less n less, n we all tend to forget to check in on our friends. I never knew so many things happened, n worse still, i wasn't there for u. i'm so sorry. i think u know who u are. but i just wan u to know that i do care n if u need someone i'll always be here. just give me a call when u need someone to talk to, no matter how late it is.

n all u other pple.. i do care even if i dun call up every now n then ok?

encounter with a drunk buaya

i still can't believe it. though it was hilarious the way it ended. haha. think the guy must have dropped his contact lenses or something. OR, he must have been desperate to have buaya-ed me.. but it was really quite scary at that time though. here's what happened:

12.15am, i was sitting at the bus stop in front of suntec convention hall, waiting for my mum to pick me up. there was no one at the bus-stop. only occasional one or two pple at the foyer behind me waiting for cabs or pple to pick them up too.. y was i there so late? celebrated willie's birthday n after he left to catch a movie with his friend, juening n i went to have a drink at cartel in raffles city. didn't wan to take the train since there was no more north-east line. so i walked slowly back to suntec to take a bus. half-way there my mum called to check on me n offered to pick me up.

12.25, saw this guy trudge to the bus-stop n lie flat on the seats ( or ledge or whatever u call it). at first glimpse, i thought he was just another old uncle who was too bored n didn't wan to go home. then i finally realised he was just drunk, but he was lying almost 10 metres away from me n in clear view so i thought it couldn't get any worse. so i msged juening n told her what i saw. freak. the moment i sent out the msg the guy sat up n looked my direction. so i just pretended i was looking somewhere beyond him. THEN HE WAVED. i was thinking, oh freak, nvm, maybe he saw someone he knew behind me so i ignored him again. best not to have any reaction.

then u guys noe what? he stood up n walked towards me. then he reached one hand over n tried to grab my arm or rest his hand on my shoulder. i was of cos prepared by now so i just quickly moved slightly so i was out of the way. n he sat next to me n started talking to me.

drunk guy: hi... i'm very drunk...
kb: err... ok......
drunk guy: are u going home?
kb: ..... err.. yes... y? (skeptical look)
drunk guy: waiting for a cab?
kb: not really... y? do u need one?
drunk guy: yes
kb: do u need me to flag u one? ( i was desperately thinking please say yes so i can be rid of u..)
drunk guy: no
kb: ... (damned... so what do u want?)
drunk guy: are u waiting for ur boyfriend?
kb: no....

drunk guy moves about 2 metres away, head down. a bus comes along, guy looks at me n points to bus. i shoke my head. bus leaves, guy starts puking. haha. then he stops puking, moves about one seat space further away still. phew. the next moment he starts puking over again. (yes this is the part i find extremely amusing n hilarious.. but only after i got home though) i was thinking, omg, when's my mum coming? n where's a guy when u desperately need one. ( a sober one at that, n preferably one i knew...)

5 minutes later (about 12.35am), my mum's car drove into the foyer. i was damned bloody glad. quickly got up n walk to my mum's car, casting a few quick glances on the guy to make sure he wasn't following me. i told my mum what happened immediately after i closed the door n guess what she said?

see? who asked u to stay out this late n sit all alone in a place like this? n look at ur skirt! it's so short somemore. Serves u right. it's good to let u have a scared like that once in a while : s dot dot dot... yes, u saw right... it all came out of my mum's mouth. sigh. hahahaha.

when i got home, came online n told dione n yixiang. we all agreed that it was a damned scary encounter. dione said i was very brave. yixiang said i was lucky (which i agree, though it wasn't cos he didn't puke on me like yixiang said. haha.) come to think of it, i dun noe if it was being brave or mere stupidity. hahaha. i think more of the latter. anyway, it's quite an "adventure" though... just glad i got out of it safe n sound.

come to think of it, he couldn't have been that drunk. his conversation was coherent, and he was sober enough to move away when he wanted to puke. and which really drunk guy would tell u first thing that he was very drunk? yucks... utterly disgusted.

--------------------------------

well that sums up all i have to say for now. still very tired. miao had to wake me up at 8am this morning... thought i could finally get a good night's sleep. haha. oh well.... till my next blog!
