I'M HOME!
Its way past midnight, 103am. Everybody's asleep except Allan, he's probably not working tomorrow.
Nothing much happened in the office. Managed to get SCS to deliver the harddisks together with the servers next Tuesday. Really tight deadline man. Had a ISO14001 Committee meeting in the morning. The gang stayed back after that to discuss about the impending doom. Oh, during lunchtime, I skipped Friday prayers (the rationale is, I've attended the last 2 Friday prayers and so this week, I can be excused. HAH!). Well I GOT to send my car to the workshop to replace the broken windscreen today. Left the office at 1220 and reached the workshop at Sin Ming 20 mins later. Was told the car will be ready by 5pm so I took a bus to Orchard Road. Had Black Pepper Beef Stew at Scotts Picnic FoodCourt.. good man! Took the MRT back to the office after that.
Oh man I just like, fell asleep on the freakin keyboard. Its too late and I'm tired. Will continue this tomorrow. Nite.
726am and i just got out of the shower. Where was I... let's see... I took a cab back to the workshop at about 445 and collected the car back. They just changed the windscreen, that's all. Kena Sai.. thought they would change the front bumper as well. Drove back to office and waited for the guys to call me. Sofian came first, I met him outside BreadTalk (saw THAT guy buying green tea cake, probably its for his dear Lily... how SWEET. well I used to do that. I wonder if she remembers?). Brought Sofian up to the Nexus, Daniel came at about 710 and we went to the NTUC FoodFare to have dinner. KC joined us there. Left at about 8ish. Everybody took my car and left KC's car back at the Hub.
First stop, we went to Andrew Road, then turned into Lor Ma.. something. Past the RDA place then drove slightly further down to the junction leading up to the mosque. Drove up the slope and made a U-turn. It didnt feel as creepy as that night, there were a few guys praying inside. Probably because it was still too early. Went out to Andrew Road again and drove past some huge mansions. I mean, HUGE! Took a pic of one. Will put it up once I downloaded it. When we passed by CBC, Sofian saw Mark Waite (That angmoh teacher from Moulmein High) and we thought of staying back to see whether Cynthia Koh will come out from inside too. Heh. Went to Lornie Road then made a turn into Sime Road and found the Kheam Hock Road. Bingo. Thats where Kopi Hill is. The cemetary. But the main gate was closed! A sign says it closes everyday at 530pm. So we parked the car and walked through the side entrance of the gate into the cemetary. Creeeeeepy. 4 of us.. just walked and walked, past tombstones and graves and whatever statues or structures that was built around it. Didnt wanna shine my torchlight on it. Reached this wide open roundabout. It was not that dark actually, pretty good moonlight (even though the moon was only a small crescent). Walked for about 500m more when Sofian stopped dead in his tracks.
Yan: Did you hear that?
KC: Ya..
Dan: Um..
Me: ............
Yan: Lets turn around
Me: ..............
And they turned around and started walking faster and faster. Heck, if somebody started running, and I think panic will set in and everybody else will run too. But I didnt hear anything. Hmmm. Just before the entrance we decided to take a right turn and walked down another path which lead to more tombstones and Chinese graves. And deep inside, we can actually see the back of a few big houses, with open spacious well tendered lawns. There are even horse statues 'grazing' the lawn. This is disgusting man. If you view the houses from Lornie Road, I dont think you will even know they existed. Who the fuck lives here?
We turned around after about 15mins and walked back to the entrance. Once outside, Sofian said he heard some kinda grunting noises around the area where he went kecut. Dan and KC heard it too somehow. Not me. I didnt. I think at that time I had a tune in my head. Singing a love song and thinking about somebody probably. Well. Got in the car and drove off to Adam Road for supper. Saw a lot of young punks, JC students from CJC and HCJC. Felt so old looking at them! The wild exuberance of youth! Damn.
SPOTTED! Agent Dan and Agent KC at Adam Road
Left the place at 11 and drove back to the Hub. KC collected his car and sent Daniel home. Me and Sofian decided we could squeeze in one more place, so we drove to Labrador Park. Tried driving up the hill but it was still closed, just like the last time when me, Merv, KC and CK went there during the fasting month. Sofian has never been there so I drove to the other carpark, the jetty area facing Sentosa. Showed him where the supposed tunnels are and the trails up the hill. He said he might come back some other day to trek up, I might join him if I'm free. Went home after that.
Mervin called/SMS like 4-5 times that night. But either I was driving, in the cemetary or had my hands busy. As bird once remarked, Merv have the uncanny ability to know the worst exact moment for you to answer phone calls, and then he'll call. I sms him when I got home but he didnt answer so I went to sleep. This morning there were 2 missed calls and an sms that says "1pm" from him. Supposed to meet him today cos he wants to treat me to tea at Marche. Think I'll go gym for a run after work before meeting him. Gotta keep this up.
