today supposed to be working at harvest catering, but guess they got enough hands. thot today will be another boring day again, since it was originally reserved to be for work. woke up feelin all lazy, especially when u look out the window. you see all the misty morning looming over the industrial Tuas. in case anyone is wondering, my window has an overview of the industrial side of Singapore. well, ended up in front of my computer deciding which game to RE-install and RE-play AGAIN.

half way getting all engrossed in the game, my fren messaged me. my fren Teo Chee Tat. met him while i was serving National Service. both of us was posted to the same depot in the same batch, and there were like a handful of us(to be exact 5 of us). our relationship...like brothers. haha...rather clinche sounding but true. at least for the most of us, and what exactly that means will be another story to tell. the ACK story. Cheetat was posted to the 'brain' of the depot, while i was posted to the top of the 'food chain' in the depot. hehe...but nothing like status ever ruined our relationship. like brothers, there was give and take.

its been a long time since i last met up with him. he is now studying in NIE. i wonder how NIE teaches teachers to teach. since he wasnt to keen i didnt do much probing. seems that he had been stressed out and needed some company. stressed by doin 2 individual projects in 3 days, well i guess thats part of studying life nothing much to complain there. anyhow, we had a session in the West Coast Recreation Club, playing 11 matches of 9 ball and 4 matches of 8ball. wanna guess the results? k so i wasnt much of a pool person, at least i lost by a close margin. : )

after that session, i thot of goin out somewhere with someone else...but no luck there, my wishes wasnt exactly reciporiated.

then came the main SHOCK event of the day!!!Cheetat actually jio me to go down to little india. that was quite a shocker, cos cheetat had always appeared to me as a VERY into China culture and arts kinda of person. he was from HCJC. he was interested in chinese calligraphy. he was well-versed in chinese poems and literature.

well i guess in the previous paragraph i had sounded the MOST discriminating in everyway possible. just to let everyone know I AM NOT.

he didnt let down the SHOCKER all at the same time. we were actually on topics of girls that he revealed that he preferred indian ladies. :O to be more exact, he preferred the Aryan features, that is common between most Northern Indians and European countries. i was still quite alright with that, because, well its beauty in the eyes of beholder.

when i asked about y the journey down to little india, he say his reasons in the most casual of ways. "To get BollyWood movies." WOW!!! ok...i admit i am quite a conservative person and thus it jus came across to me as a culture shock. and you think this was the only involvment.

later on, in the bus, he persisted to introduce to me the hindu songs in his mp3 players. i was way beyond shock and soon goin into coma. i wonder what brain-washing chemicals the NIE uses, i may need to stock up a few barrels of them. so i jus thot i give it a try. we took bus number 99 from clementi interchange and stopped at the bus stop jus behind of JE interchange to get to IMM. AND through the trip i was on his BEST selection of hindu songs. it shld be OST(original soundtrack) of some bollywood movie.

the day ended in its usual tone, "the only constant is change and that change is the only constant"
