Chee Koon turned 29 on Saturday. The gang went out on Friday, minus Su Yian and Sofian who had to work till late. Over dinner at Millenia Spageddies we chatted away about our work and life. Get this, Chee Koon tendered his resignation that morning! Mervin quit his job the day before, and I know Daniel is definitely not happy at work. I am waiting for the confirmation letter to leave HDB. Isnt that wonderful? CK described his resignation as "the best birthday gift I can give myself." Now we're all out in the big open sea and there's no telling whats gonna happen. Sink or swim? Whatever it is, we've just made a big dive and I am confident that we''ll survive for the better. We had a quick dessert session at Baker's Inn, then parked our big asses at Fat Frog Cafe for some wonderful live music. It was free-for-all night, there were 4 singers and each of them had their own style. I hope we gave the birthday boy an enjoyable night.
I didnt talk to her on Saturday at work. Not even a hi, not even goodbye when we left office. I've decided. I've decided that she dont need me anymore. I've decided I will only be in her way if I continue to linger. She is happy now and she was only trying to make me happy. Yes, I've made my decision. The words on her birthday gift from me says "Friends for Eternity." Eternity, in this case, must end now.
Met Mervin for dinner then we stood outside a pub at Clarke Quay watching the Liverpool vs Man U match. Hyppia was sent off in the first 5 mins and with only 10 men playing at Old Trafford, the whole team crumbled and suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat. Humiliating. Nothing can save this season now. When you're down, you're down. Success is collective. Failure is individual. Somebody has got to go. We picked Sofian up after he closed shop at midnight and had supper at Frankel. We were making plans for August, 8th is my birthday, 9th is his and 11th is Daniel's. Its gonna be either KL, Pahang, Tioman or just Sentosa for the big August celebration, depending on whether all of us can get time-off from work then. I am hoping for Tioman.
I spent almost the entire Sunday at Amrita spa. Slept beside the pool for a good hour, finished a few chapters reading "On the Road." Mervin was having tea with Sook Ping so out of boredom and general crappiness I did something I shouldnt have after I left the spa. I guess it was fate. I certainly wasnt looking for it. It just happened. Its funny how one thing lead to another. I dont know what it meant and what it will mean to me. Its best forgotten.
