Breakfast(Dinner) at Tiffany's(Sarpino)

Monday Blues

As usual Monay starts off slow enough, somehow I managed to wake up at 0825 and still be earli enough for work...hahaha. Looks like there'll be a day where I'm gonna wake up at 0845 or something...hahaha. As sucky as SPF is, i still relisht he fact I get up later than most guys...hehe... Today my boss was in a super restless mood, with his incessant pacing of the office and stuff. He kept coming over to mine and Phil's side, and of course I tried my best to entertain him, which wasn't really hard.

1)feign interest

2)fiegn laughter

3)feign that your impressed with his jokes/thoughts

Its as easy as that. And soon enough we headed for breakfast, where we realisde that "prata telor" (prata wif egg) doesnt exist in Sinagpore no more. The rest of the day was ok, rather smooth for a monday, of course there was the usual hang-ups but 6 o'clock came soon enough..

Then me and phil decided to take a different approach for the day's run. We went to run at Bedok Reservoir instead, of course with the intention of lookin at some girls. Of course this never came true, we had a pretty good run, and phil kept the pace well, although he confessed by the end he was gonna die, but well, like I said as long as u dont get out of your comfort zone u will never improve. Correct? We then proceeded to do weights....I was dead tired after two sets and could not push myself no more....But at least I felt good Phil was around to keep me company....Tomorrow there will be basketball, so lookin forward to dat too lar...Lets see how the wind blows...

Food and Family

Today I also met Baba, Mama and Amirul for dinner at Sarpino's Pizza at Eastpoint, damn nice man...i recommend it to anybody lookin for a cheaper, but just as good an alternative to Pizza Hut. We laughed hell of a lot, and there I talked to my mom about university and stuff. My mom is gonna graduate in a year's time. 3 sons, a husband, two houses and Discipline Mistress, still can do university. Im damn proud of my mom. I asked my dad if he wanted to pursue a diploma or degree but he just laughed it off. So told myself that when I grow up and have enough money im gonna pay for him to study. It may not matter but I just want him to walk around wif more self-worth which I think my father lacks at times...

This conversation then transpired between me and Mama;

"So ma do you have any money set aside for my university?"

"No."

Awkward silence. Realisation slips in.

"So how?"

"Don't worry I will manage. I always do."

Sigh....Now I feel realli lost and all. But not to worry, I guess its just the sucky feeling of being a financial burden to my family, which I have not been since I entered JC. Hopefully I will be able to pay my parents back as soon as possible though.

Anyways its gettin late....I think its time to call it a night. My EURO 2004 game has finished d/loading so dats great man. Time to kick some European ass, and of course get David James outta the team cos of his god-damn(sorry God) howler dat day.

P.S. If you were the funny ang-moh man next to my table at Sarpino's whohad to endure the weird staring punctuated by giggles by my father and Amirul, I am really sorry. And yes, they are always like dat.

Out.
