New Phone

I realised I forgot to mention I got a new phone on Wednesday LOL.

To cut a long story short, I bought it off my dad for 375 bucks. A 1 month old N80. It’s sweet, very very sweet.

A long day, very long

Today had been a long day. And a rather fulfilling day.

First thing I did today was to head to the gym, after about a 2 weeks break. It felt good trashing it out and tiring myself out at the gym. It felt good as well when some guy consulted me on how to train the delts. Which set me thinking if I should really get myself certified as a personal trainer. Sounds like a mighty fine idea, and probably good extra income as well. Ah well, it also sounds like another item on my agenda which would most probably fall under the “Procrastinate” list until I get some drive to get it done.

After gym, met a friend at a cafe he was working at. He was “boss” for the day and he wanted to give me a treat. I must say the food is pretty good. It’s at 127 Telok Ayer Street, really more of a lunch time cafe thing to cater for the lunch time crowd.  I had Fried Tang Hoon with Chicken, Lemon Grass Tea, and 3 rounds of Vietnamese Coffee. Maybe my friend wasn’t very pro at preparing it, but I think the Vietnamese Coffee wasn’t as thick as I would preferred it to be. He tried to thicken it a bit the next time, which was slightly better but unorthodox lol. Still, it had a rather unique taste, like a new coffee flavour. Another friend joined us later and I updated him about my life. His words to me were things I have heard before and I wonder, even though I acknowledge that it’s an ugly truth about what he told me, would I subscribe to it? It felt like I would be betraying myself if I accepted it that way, so for now, I’ll just stay through to myself, no matter how fucked up it might feel.

The night was spent with my friends, our yearly Christmas Dinner. The food was cheap and good, but it was the company that was more awesome above everything else. I wish we would gather like this more often through the year instead of just once a year. It felt good laughing, joking and sharing all that has happened in our lives. Sometimes I wish time would just hold still and that we could just chill out forever like that, with the drink stall never closing and words that would never run out. But, that’s just an escape from the reality that we all face.

Watched “Night at the Museum” with a friend after that, a midnight movie. It was a rather unique movie, considering that the idea was quite unique. It was funny, though not the funniest movie I have ever watched, still you got to give it to Ben Stiller and Robin Williams. I think they were good through the movie, though Ben has had better movies.

Anyway, much was talked about over dinner and was on the bus home with one of my friend and we chatted more. Of all that was said, I realised that I don’t really know what I want. It’s not that I don’t know what I want to acheive, but it’s like what another friend had said previously before, I don’t know what is contentment. Yet at the same time, I find that this would be the force that would keep me going on and searching for it. But tonight, I had a sudden fear, that I might never find it. Better still, I begin to wonder if I want it at all. Whichever it is, my friend on the bus ride home said that I think too much. Agreed, and I have already realised that a long time ago. It’s not easy to control the things going through the head honestly, I just think and think. So tonight, I decided to not think about the issue of contentment.

As Christmas draws near, I’m excited and yet worried about my gift. Which is why my friend had said I was thinking too much. It’s only a gift ma. True true. The past 2 weeks or so, I have had people breaking my thoughts down for me and I guess that it’s the general opinion of everyone that I should do what I had set out to do, so there isn’t any point in thinking too much into that as well.

And so as Nike says, Just Do It.
