那天在马路上
就是我们幸福的开始

16hours out of the house. part deux.

Had to leave, because I had a date, you know, the same one I saw the dumb dagger show with. We were watching "the village" that evening.

We ate macdonalds, and they have implemented this EZ-link system where you get 5points for every $1 spent and the points accumulated can be used to redeem burgers and stuff. Once you sign up for FREE you immediately get 500points on the spot. A free burger will about 300+ points. They will merge will MANGO, world of spots and other fashion outlets soon enough. So you have more choices of what gifts to redeem.

Any macdonalds top officials reading this, please contact me at the email address to your left, I know you're grateful for this advertisement and desperately want to send me a cheque.

"The Village" was great. Not your average horror show, but very interesting, and lots to think about post show. If the timid you ask me if this movie will give you nightmares, it wouldn't. You gotta trust me on that. And watch it, before idiots watch it and give away the plot.

So Mr M. Night Shyamalan, thanks for the cheque too. =)

After the movie, we went to sit by the river in the vacinity of the esplanade. What, is that the Singapore river? It's my first time there. I love it. I hate the dark, but I love the night, with wind brushing against your face, stars gleaming from the sky, waves greeting the shore, and best of all, good music streaming from the background (a little of a amusement park set up).

And we sat down by the rocks and we talked an hour plus.
Or rather, she talked most of the time. She really has many things to talk about. Her past jobs experiences, friends, family, relatives, school memories. Listening to her, I can't help but feel I'm a little below par. Our carefree and cheerful personalities means we can have fun together, but I think we are really different.

I've gone out with her twice, and talked to her most days online. She always has things to share, and is always smiling. Sometimes I feel as if I don't even have things to say. Me! Nothing to say! It's like I think whatever I'm gonna say wouldn't interest her, so most of the time I listen more than I talk. I did ask her yesterday. I asked "How come when people ask you something, you don't ask them back the same thing." She said if people wanna tell her, they will, and she doesn't have to ask.

Makes sense? A little. But the oversensitive me thinks she's not interested in my life. Really my life isn't interesting, but that's besides the point. I'm someone who opens up easily, but with her I don't talk much about my personal stuff. I said before, it's as if I'm afraid she will treat it as peanuts. Yes, talking about our lives isn't competing whose life is more colourful or exciting, but I feel inferior already. Can't help it. At the 'beach' she was saying she was there one year for countdown, and told me all about it. I couldn't help but laugh at myself thinking where I was when the clock struck 12. Right. In front of the computer. We then walked past the bridge (whatever name) with all the beautiful bougainvillea (I think that's the name) and she mentioned she used to take alot of photos there with the flowers. And I was thinking well this is my first time. I also wanted to go down the steps to take a look at the merlion but it was late and she was afraid there was no transport for me, of which I don't really care. I don't like to go home. Once I'm home I on the desktop and that's that.

I digress. Was mentioning this girl is really nice to be with, but while she tells me a lot of stuff about her, she doesn't seem to be that interested in what I have to say about my own. But other than my inner thoughts, I really like talking and being with her. I haven't asked her out again though, because knowing myself I might fall in love easily, and I don't want that to happen. I picture my mum telling me to find someone with about the same academic, family and financial background. I find myself analysing the girl to see if she meets these 'pre-requisites'. For shite's sake it's my future not my mum's. But I'm the future for my mum.

Hahaha. Confused?? Welcome to the club.
