random memories from teenage years
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 
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 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.
talk about six degrees of separation. damn sial. hahahaha.
Lol, too weird to be mere coincidence. But I find the bringing food and music part to be so cute can die.
big cities good.
ipoh, too small.
Tat’s a real awkward situation. Penang sucks too. Yeah… big cities rawk…
so the drama, can make into soap opera. hey that rhymes =P
awww…. poor SS
Kampung people very big mouth.
One fart whole village will know.
I don’t like cities
But I like New York
Other places make me feel like a dork
Los Angeles is for people who sleep
Paris and London
Baby you can keep
Other cities always make me mad
Other places always make me sad
No other city ever made me glad except New York
Madonna.
Perhaps… substitute NY with KL? That might do it for you… Oh, and BP probably makes you feel like a dork.. haha
Wow, that could be the plot to a Korean soap opera.
‘manja-ish appeal about her that drove some guys crazy.’
Oh, they thought she put out!
‘But my ex-bf was like that one lah, always wanting to save the world type.’
Ai Carumba! Saving the world is one of the three things on my list of things to do before I die!
Wahlau, punya random your rambling…
wah… this is a case like…. you like him, he likes her, she likes that guy, that guy likes you, you dont like that guy but like the original him, and he dont really like her… see…so damn bloody complicated already … sigh
Is there a happy ending to this story?
Chen: quite sial
Alynna: yeah that was sweet even at 14
lainie: aye!
cmos: i love getting lost
reta: hahahah not that many twists and plots for a bold n beautiful

mingsy: well, that was the last time i saw SS. my ex-bf is married now with a kid. i am pretty much happy where i am. happy ending for everyone, yay!
Didn’t know you were a BP girl. I used to live there when I was little (now.. not so little). Oh talking about McD’s prosperity burger, I call it BK’s Black Pepper Whopper’s Little Bitch.. cause it really is tiny and is continually shrinking over the years.
macam another episode of bold and beautiful only. wahakakakak.
Wah Drama Minggu ini siut… Big City life huh? No Wonder I ran all the way to BKK. Hahaha.
Izad: hmm i never had bk’s black pepper whopper.. the only thing i like from bk is the swiss mushroom. YUM!
fa: it was over within a few years what… that’s why i no like drama now
unkaleong: i would love to lose myself in switzerland
What coincidence! It’s totally unbelieveable.
And my last wish before I die is Conquering the world! Dabs can defeat me the first time and fulfill his wish. Next I’ll conquer the world and fulfill my wish and when I die you can do the world peace thing!
Ashish - Could all three of those be accomplished in one go? You conquer the world, thus ensuring world peace [as there would be no more wars under your benevolent regime] and I help you conquer on the diplomatic side, thus saving the world from a long war it couldn’t win against you. Thus, all three acomplished, no one gets hurt and we’re all home in time for milk and cookies.
suan, what time do u sleep? or are u a vampire? hehe
so late one ah ur post..
Ashish and Dabs: is this a kinky thing going on… ?
oxymoron: sunday no work mah
