1. I've moved back. From being able to walk to Cineleisure in 12 minutes, I now have to take a 1-hour long bus ride, excluding wait time. If I choose to take the train, waiting for the shuttle bus is another pain. It does not help that the "shuttle bus" is the same bus that goes to the zoo, and every so often you get a lost tourist insisting to pay the bus fare with a $2 note. Cue to noisy arguments and loud shrieks at the "laundry hanging dangerously outside the window on long poles twenty floors in the air".
2. Anyway, here are the pics of my room. Will post more of my room and more of the house when it is more presentable :)
3. In more exciting news, I met my brother's friend when I returned home tonight. I was opening the gate to get in when he was parking. He was here to pick my brother up for a night rugby game in some indoor court, somewhere.
He said he saw me at Taka and waved at me then. He said I gave him a little look and then looked away, and did not recognize him. I'm thinking now, could he be the elusive
Mr Taka that I've been thinking about? From what I can remember, he does bear a little bit of resemblance, going by the fading memory of that encounter. Anyway, the brother's friend is a trainer at Cali now, and well... very hot! Into Muay Thai, into running at Bishan park, and lives a little down the hill. But I don't think he's gay, so that's that. Plus, he's a friend of the brother, who thinks I'm like, totally straight, dude. Sigh.
Maybe, just maybe, could he be one of us? Sometimes, I just wish I knew for sure I was wrong to hope just so I'd learn to not hope anymore... but I never seem to get anywhere and end up feeling short-changed. And then I do it all over again.
3. Reading Invitation to Treat by Eleanor Wong. Halfway through Wills now. Fiercely written, too bad I never caught any of the three plays. Now, if only I can get my hands on a copy of "Peculiar Chris" and "To Know Where I'm Coming From". You know how hard it is to find Peculiar Chris? I've even went to Books Actually down in Telok Ayer and they didn't have a copy. I'd sleep around for a chance to read it. Just kidding. Really. I know Pelangi Pride Center has copies, but I want to own a copy.
