it took shu and us one friday a long time ago,
almost an hour,
i guess,
to realise what we wanted.
er...
i would mean..
to realise how we related to each other wasn't what we perceived it to be.
so i was the kind who wants to tell my whole life out,
and in response would expect the same from anyone,
including her.
she was the kind who wants others to ask her questions about her life,
so that she would share,
including me.
i finally understood her heart,
and she, mine.
praise God.

the next day was saturday.
i was taking the cab home with alex and boy after work.
i was the last to get off.
sweetly,
the uncle started to talk to me when i was the only one left.
reaching my block,
me: uncle, you don't have to turn in, just stop at the bus stop in front.
uncle: okay. er..i have this bad habit. that if a girl is alone, i'll make sure she gets into the lift.
me: (a lil apprenhensive) oh er okay.
so i pointed out to uncle where the lift was.
apparently the lift was blocked by the wall from the view where the cab was,
so uncle couldn't see.
uncle: it's okay. you walk to a spot where it's safe, then wave to me.
me: okay. (so touched =) ).
so happily, i got off the cab,
walked through the shelter and turned back,
waved goodbye at uncle,
then he drove off.

i went to wes's home to bring him blueberry cake.
18 cakes altogether.
for his birthday.
after that, i walked along a pavement back to the station.
clouds were gathering, thunder was rolling.
ominous sky it was.
i was talking to kha on the phone.
in the midst of a hearty conversation,
a crackle of the thunder and
the line got cut off.
i went like,
"hello hello?? kha,can u hear me?? hello?"
so i quickly redialled kha and said,
"the lightning must have cut us off.."
kha replied, "yah..i went like 'hello? hello? did the lightning strike u, joc??'"
-_-" stupid kha.

at nydc heeren,
lucas and i were cleaning up the tables together.
then a customer waved his hand at us,
signalling us over.
i signalled lucas to go on and take their orders.
lucas is a trainee by the way.
lucas: you go, i see.
me: (shaking my head) no no no.. you go, i see.
we agreed and walked over.
customer: hi, can we have a fork please??
HAHAHAHA

at nydc heeren,
this guy has his name official.
Spade.
He was chewing something apparently..
then he told fio and me that he's trying to tie a knot with a cherry stem.
seeing him so concentrated,
i really thought it was for real that he can do it.
then he asked if i wana try.
shyly, i rejected..
but he said, "try try..for fun.."
a coldsider said it's impossible,
no one has done it before.
but still, we both tried.
in the midst of trying very hard,
i prayed.hmm.
wondered why too.
then with some twist and turn of my tongue muscle,
i took the cherry stem out.
there it was - a knot.
showed it to fio, uncle paul,
and Spade.
He was pretty surprised,
"Wha..you really did it ar?"
i smiled.
then a few minutes later, he told me,
"i did it too..wait..you go serve customer first, come back i show u."
i came back and asked him to show me.
he spat out a mash of the cherry stem and
proudly said, "i bet you can't do this huh.."
-_-" funny Spade
