random memories from teenage years

Posted at February 4, 2007

While I was sitting here merana-ing for a prosperity burger, I suddenly thought of food-at-odd-hours in the past. Or rather, the people who brought food to my doorstep at odd hours in the past. They were so great and I wish more people would emulate their nobility :P

Save the whales, feed the Suan.

I was… I don’t remember exactly, 14 at that time? Okay I was 14 years old, and I was the friend to this girl one year my junior. She was not really physically hot and I am not saying this out of jealousy, but she had a feminine, manja-ish appeal about her that drove some guys crazy.

Anyway she was seeing this guy and they ran into some problems and somehow or the other I ended up talking to him most of the time. They broke up not long after, she started seeing some other dudes, and he called me often. I don’t remember what we talked about — heck I don’t even remember what he looked like, but I do remember a feeling of pleasantness, a rather comfortable presence. I can’t recall his name to save my life, so let’s call him SS here.

Sometimes, maybe once or twice a week SS would come over my house on his motorbike bearing gifts of food and sometimes books and music tapes. Even my mother remembers him as the guy who brought me fried chicken. She of course didn’t like it, but she didn’t really say anything about it at that time.

This friendship continued for a couple of years, then for god-knows-what reason, died. I believe he liked me, I certainly liked him but nothing happened from there.

A few years later I met my ex-bf. One night we were hanging out with some other friends in a hotel pub, having a good time when suddenly I spotted someone familiar. Turned out that our waiter was SS! He saw me, shock registered on his face, saw my ex-bf, even more shocked, then quickly walked away. I didn’t know how to react so I turned to my ex-bf and saw his troubled face.

That was when I found out that SS was the brother of HIS ex-gf, the one that he didn’t properly break up with — which I thought was weird, since my logical deduction was that if you saw your gf getting chummy with another guy, that would mean instant goodbye. But my ex-bf was like that one lah, always wanting to save the world type.

And the girl SS was seeing, she is now married to a guy who lived near my house, whom I had a tiny crush on when I was little.

That was why I left Batu Pahat, it was too small for comfort :P Don’t believe me? Well one time I was grounded (which nobody outside my family knew), but when my parents were away I secretly drove the car out to meet my friends. The next day I got a hell of a scolding from my mother. One of her friends had seen our family car zooming around town and for god knows what reason, went and told my mother about it.

I really, really like big cities.

Assorted Blah
