Every precious Moment

His body was rigid... He grasped... clenched his jaws... kept chanting feverishly...
OMG OMG OMG....
I thought he gonna have a seizure àny time soon...
That's Ben... watching Red Eye with me, both of us at the mercy of building suspense as the movie built up to its climax...
But watching Ben's varied expressions was equally entertaining.... Hahaha... I think fellow movie goners behind us tempted to throw their popcorn on our heads for being so distracting...

Gosh.. Gonna miss watching movies with Ben as he gonna embarks on a journey to far, far East on a quest to perfect his marching, boots polishing and slacking abilities..

Yesterday

Was walking alone in Marina Square; after a meeting at Suntec. Decided to do some shopping before meeting up with Gerald and Ethan at 9plus.
Realised that I did not really enjoy shopping alone... The heavy dull of loneliness set deeply in my heart.. weighing it down, making the walk a tiring one. I gave up shopping and went for early dinner..
And I saw my dearest cousin, Noel from far... she's like a knight in shining amour, here, to rescue me from lonesome dining...
She was with Yang Ai, her friend whom I didnt seen for a long time.. I think it's since that fateful night...

Flashback to the 1995....
Walking in Seiyu, Bugis Junction with Noel and Yang Ai.

A rude interruption...
"Stare at me for what?! Not happy ah!"
Noel's eyes widen in bewildered fear... we were surrounded by a pack of heavily make-up, indecently dressed scums of the society.
"Stare? Stare somemore?! Want to fight?!" The leader of the pack raised her finger to poke Noel's shoulder blade. Noel tried to explain herself that she wasn't even looking at them...
But of course.. those rotting souls ain't here for clarification, neither for friendship..
They were hungry for fights, for blood, for conquests.

Infuriated, I stepped in front of Noel, demanding: "What you want? Don't pick trouble here!" and tried my best to give the meanest look i have.
"This is none of your business. Who you think you are? Where you play one?! "
"She's my cousin. So she's my business. Don't even try to bully her. Don't be so childish and do this kinda thing. Let's go. Don't bother about them!"

I grabbed Noel's and Yang Ai's hands and turned to leave, when I felt a sharp pain in my back.
One of the bitches had use her umbrella and jabbed me hard.
I swung around and attempted to seize the offending weapon but she's quicker than me.
Then, like a flash, the leader snatched my Ferragamo hairband (Worth $109 nett) from my head and ran.
The pack followed her closely, one of them bellowed:
"Come outside to get it. IF YOU DARE!"

I was panting hard, with rage and fear. I never fought before. I knew that the moment I was out, there's no turning back. But pride and humiliation got hold over me. I started to run after... but I was pulled back by a visibily shaken Noel.
"QIAOHUI! DON'T GO!! Please.. "
At that moment, Noel's firm grip on my hand soften my rash impulse. It felt like a protection. from all evils that's to come..
In the end, I did not go... And my only way of seeking revenge for 1 year that followed, was wrathfully cursing the scums....

Now, look at us.. Young and fine ladies...

Glad that Noel is always there for me... She kept me out of mischief and troubles numerous of times..
Am I surprised or what.. to learn that they have formed a duo team to seek out all the clubs that have Ladies Night...
Another clubbing kakis to put on my list.. Yey....!




Met up with the guys and headed out for
Carls' Junior Burger... All of us were amazed by the size of the Burgers!! Are they meant for two persons?
Followed by a disappointing movie and a walk down to the tunnel of mystique.....
