Vesak Day
Everyone asks me the same question : Have I finish my university studies ?
I miss my pussy cat and I am so touched that she still remember me. But was frightened by my little, irritating and impish cousins. It does feel good to bring smiles to a small children but these children expect more than they ask for and start terrorising my mind. They ask me why I wear a necklace as guy IS not allowed to wear one? And it can be awkward when one ask me such sexual issues. Puberty is part of growing up period but it will be better to let their parent do the teaching instead of me.
I am getting bored and I do not wish to meet their friends later. I ask my uncle what time he wants to leave so that he can send me back home. I am playing a role as a young brother rather than eldest. When we are about to leave, I bound into a gal who is as same NTU course as me. It is so coincident. The world is so small after all. I bet my mum will ask question about me from her.
During the journey back home, my uncle I have heart to heart conversation pertaining certain matters like moving out issues. He thinks like me, to achieve and experience life in wider perspective but is being halt due to my grandmother's ill health and age. I feel so sorry for him because most of his ambitions just paused because of family conservative upbringing. I cannot give any good advice but just a listening ear to his dilemma: chasing his dreams or just fulfil as a filial son.
I wait for lincoln call and end up taking a long nap. I just feel so tired and sleepy. At 9.30pm, I wake up and get a nasty call from Lincoln. Hence, I just dressed up simply and take cab to Far East plaza. It cost $12 from my house. I go and meet Sam and Lincoln at Mcdonald's Restaurant at Isetan Scotts. We chatted awhile there. Sam bought Tarot card deck from Borders.
I suggest to watch movie but Sam is not keen hence we take a bus 174 to Raffles Place and walk to Lau Pa Sat . We have satays for supper. It is nice to enjoy goood friends company filled with laughter and simplicity. We act, talk and laugh like crazy guys but still maintain our poise and glamour. Life is about thinking like a child and laugh easily over any matters.
But somehow, Sam has issue to handle with his mum. His mum keeps calling him to go back home early , apparently treat him like a kid until now. Somehow, he feels like he is being robbed of privacy and life he is living. I can see how disheartened he is when he is having conversation with his mum. I thought my mum is worse enough. I think there is always solution to everything roblem if we are patient enough to handle them. I should be thankful for having my parents who are still healthy and living. I always take them for granted. Ii is high time to pay them back what I owe: A good retiring life.
But right now, I must know my direction in my life.
