Slipping through my fingers

Slipping through my fingers all the time,

I try to capture every minute,

The feeling in it

Slipping through my fingers all the time

( song: ABBA - Slipping through my fingers )

 

Its coming so ever quick, the time where we'll part our cozy nest now, soar on wings and seek another one. Yes, fxeng sloggi and sara's going off THAT soon! Hell the 7 power-rangers would be broken and desecreted into pieces by then, all then would journey on our own ( except for two sad souls which will be doing engineering, oh maybe another pair in Business...i wonder whos that mmmhmmm ).

 

So the usual emo me went planning for a CNY ang-pau-fest, trying to give everyone their Kodak moment ( who still use non-digital cameras?! Oh wait, there are! ) and something we can look back to 10 years down the road. Well you know the usual them, always giving trouble. One will almost anytime worries you that you might lost contact with her simply because sometimes you just cant contact her in any way poosible; one always give nonsensical answers and puts me on a boiling point; another that the 6 of the power-rangers would never bother to ask her out if she denies the invitation; least thanks to the 2 of you - fxeng, sloggi and hx for giving replies such as "Can can anything also can!"

 

Finally after much obstacles and storms and tsunami and thunderstorm and hurricane and volcano erruption and earthquake and blizzard and heat waves, i've finally journey through the WEST! Where the ancient inscription there lying in golden sparks that could blind you and - WAIT LESTER COME BACK TO YOUR SENSE NOW! Ok ok so after finally much phone calls and thoughts, finally i managed to pull off a perfect date for everyone!

 

Funny thing is hx and i planned to have a Msian Timing for everyone - by telling them to meet at 10.30 for hx's to pick them up and actually having hx to reach at 11 instead. Honestly, you guys totally proofed me wrong. I'm defeated hands down man seriously. Almost everyone got ready before 10.30 and called me to double-checked the timing, thats when i had to send a SOS sms to hx haha. So everything proceeded as per normal untill... "Lester! I think we're past Caltex petrol station already" My genius plan is ruined! NUUUUUUUUUUU~

 

You've gotta thank me for having some insanity in myself, because i sped like mad! I even tried to cut through two cars while on the phone with the guo ( whch is in hx's car ) while letting them catching me doing that stunt. So yeah they came to my house, did some room raiding and was glad to have my room to be ranked the tidies and cleanest ( sara you lose hands down, word. Haha ). So i did a change of clothes and there we go george's house. Nice "year-cake" he has at his house, and i still remembered we're talking about how these foods originate from. Of course i lost my gambling-virginity at his house haha.

 

Next stop was suppose to be Brenda's, but due to unforseen circumstances *ehem* we had a change in plan and went Guo's first. His piano/organ playing's funny when he tries to play like a vampiric song, where i laughed like mad again. Next stop was sara's because we're all trying to catch her mom at home. Sara-oh-sara, all trying to tidy her room up before we enter, just to have me slide opened her closet door and *whoops* wouldnt mention what dropped out first. More blackjacks! Then hx's house next, wow i'd never expect him room to be that much of a...sleeping room. Had to say he looked very alike with his mom, the same cheeks. Hell and his house had those aquariums i always wanted! damn! So finally i got my chance to be the banker for blackjack, and first round me being a banker i got a WALLUP! $_$ and down the golden lucky road i went. They'd never gave up on me, trying to "earn" my money back HAHA.

 

Finally last stop at sloggi's place, and i found out she had this very sloggy pillow HAHA! Whats even funnier is when i drop the pillow on her head, it formed a mushroom head perfectly! Just like any mushrooms found in the game Mario! haha! So i suggested i partially belanja makan at THREE-FRIENDS restaurant, it is then you realized how NICE some people can get at times. haha kidding =D. So finally i felt we're adults, cuz we're dining just like any families - couple of dishes and a bowl of rice for each. Although my stomach wasnt quite ffully filled after the meal, least it was a diffrent experience for all of us. So we planned to go MidValley for a movie, and there hx and i dashed through the rain, picked our car and came picking up all the Mr and Ms oh-so-classy only to have sara complained about how her white shoes are drenched. Sigh~ haha.

 

Next was pretty unfortunate, hx's car went through a deep puddle of water after a turn going to Federal highway, and whats weird is as i followed him through the same lane, i made it out of the water but his car went haywire. Guessed his car was a little sporty and too low-rise. Kids insisted on staying back with hx but the adults thought otherwise ( hahaha! just kidding man haha ) so one of the many ( OLD , i know you'll try to emphasize this. I JUST KNOW IT! ) adults drove the rest of the bunnies back. Didnt end there for that poor fella, later heard him falling into a drain and getting couple of bruises. Ouch poor thing la you ='(

 

Well for the least, i finally have something to remember of when thought about my 19 years old ( 20's saved for Monash, take it as 19yrs old is for Sunway College ). This trip and the lagoon, and hope any misunderstanding and unhappiness or any unfortunate events is something we can look back 10 years down the road, and laugh about it. I thank you for having to be able to cross roads with you, especially when you're all there when i was undergoing one of the biggest ( yet ) transitions in my life, so you all were basically patching up all the wounded scars and making me...one of you guys again.

 

So imagine us like a structure constructed by nothing but matchsticks, its weakened structure if not already fragile enough, displacement of any of the matchsticks would collapse the building. One after another will be leaving this one or 2 weeks, summing to a total of three. So i say we light the matchsticks and burn in such an ever bright flare that is enough to be imprinted on a film - our film - our Kodak ( fine Olympus or whatever ) moment that we could bring with us for the rest of our lifes and let the ashes be blown away so ever gracefully without any regrets.
