A long-forgotten acquaintance of mine messaged me just now, out of the blue, and he said, "Hey how are you". Was rather surprised, and it got me recalling how the two of us met. Kind of funny, actually. We met over spilled macaroni alphabets at this entrepreneur bazaar organized at the secondary school level. See, my friends and I (the girls) set up this booth selling handicraft items. You know, those ice-cream sticks and wooden clothes pegs, and then we used those macaroni alphabets to create words and stuff. So anyway, I was sticking the alphabets onto the sticks, when I accidentally knocked over the tray of macaroni alphabets, and it spilled all over the floor. So I bent down to pick them up, and his stall was just next to ours, so he helped me to pick up the alphabets. Yep. And when the whole bazaar ended, I went home, without thinking I'd ever meet him again, although we did talk a bit over the course of the bazaar. One day, I got the biggest shock of my life when he texted me on my mobile. Seems pretty cool now huh? But he's not my type lah, so we kind of drifted apart, and we're mere acquaintances now. And turns out he was bored while waiting for his guard duty to start, so he decided to message this old acquaintance of his. Yup, so another snippet from my life. Quite a funny life I do have.
I had durian and sushi today. :D Oh, happy day! Muahaha.
I've been hearing this song on the airwaves, "I wish I was a punk-rocker with flowers in my hair". I love the song, the lyrics are awesome, and it's very minimalist, but it really speaks volumes. And it's like a blend of folk and country. Really nice. And I realise the radio is quite cool, I ought to listen to it more. But some of the songs are so annoying lah. I wonder who listens to such music man.
I was observing my grandpa today, and I realise he's very handsome. He was a sailor, and he's had such an interesting life, and he's a very interesting man. I'll never forget all that he's done for me. But at least I have something to remember him always.
Muahaha blacksauce sotong tomorrow!!!
