The week started with memories of the weekend before. Involving a couple of audiences, pitter patter of rain on my forehead and other unmentioned parts, me lying flat and back arched on a garden table, broken glasses all on the balcony.
Another weekend pass, another random week is over, and another year will be coming to an end. Then it’ll be another Monday.
It started on a Monday; just like today, and I have the same trapped feeling that I am having right now. Then I called D and as we were talking about how broke we were after our LA trip, when she realized she didn’t even have cash to even fuel her Petrol. So I’ve decided to rescue her and charge it to my card. But the nite didn’t end there. We ended up going for a bucket of beer, with 13 people rejected our invitations. So after much drinking, we decided to have Maggi in a Cup in the petrol station with blaring Tamil songs in the background. I gave her my depression CD, and she started learning the beauty of Rachael Yamagata and Koko Kaina As I slept that dark am to the sound of Bic Runga and the promise that I will start running in the morning. But as daylight peeked through the window, my promises are thrown away with the morning light.
Then come Wednesday, D called asking what was the planned? I was tired and thought, okay lets have another quiet nite. Got down to Bangsar, I ended buying 2 dresses and having cheese platter down in La Bodega. Sipping my wine and enjoying my platter then a round of shots arrive at the table. Next thing I know, it was D’s birthday and I am down to my fifth shot, while D is vomiting in the bathroom. Next thing I know, I called the one I promised I wouldn’t. See, with alcohol in my system, my promises were flushed away like D’s vomit. I remember. But then again, I’m glad I called him.
Then the weekend arrived, with my Friday indoors, not wanting to go out. Then when I woke up the next day, I was lazing in my PC playing one PC game after another killing my hours senselessly, until D’s text came in. The rest were at field playing rugby and I thought what the heck, sounds like a plan. When there, ended up with more buckets of beer down the club, with the ghost of my last weekend playing pool, and a mother of a hot 17 year old telling me wants me to deflower her son for his 18th birthday. I didn’t know, sons are now up for pimping, and cherry poppers needs to go on Interview.
The night ends with D going back to some Italian one-nighter, who wanted to cook for her. So we parted ways, I was with Shorty enjoying my mamak food, and shorty holding on to my phone so I don’t make any late night calls that would lead to late night visits. What I was unaware of was, D had to go through 2 hours of wait before she actually got laid. Before, she decided to go back with him, I was contemplating whether I need to save her and be a cockblocker or let her be. So the guy had 2 hours of convincing before she decided to get in the car and go back to his place. They ended up stuck on the basement because the one of the units in the apartment was on fire. Thus, the whole block was asked to clear, while the firemen took their time. So, he decided to check in to one of the hotel registered under his company, unfortunately since he couldn’t enter the apartment, his passport was still back in the unit. So they ended driving back, stayed in the car, till everything quiet down. At 6pm, the guy finally had D. Talk about perseverance.
Then come Sunday, I woke up with a loud bang on my door, because Oonz knows that I will need the extreme wake up.
Oonz asked about D, I figured last nite was her stories tell. She asked if D’s doing better and I told her she asked about love. She’s confused. Oonz asked what did I answer. And I know, as cliché as it sounds this was my answer to her. I don’t know, but when I was in love, I was scared of losing the person.I know I am in love, when my action counts, and I don’t want to hurt him at all. But that was when I was in love, when I was truly in love. And like typical aww girls, they went corny on me, and were halfway in tears. And D, was not feeling that over her ex.
Then they told me about the accident that happened last nite. In the midst of it all, there was a rave event called ‘Freedom’ the night before, and when the event was over, a guy that we knew but I don’t remember met an accident with a lorry and lost his life. He was 25 years old.
While some life ended, some were beginning. I was at the Qiqah with most of my friends and their newborns and pride and joy.
I know this whole thing sounds like a bunch of rambling, and is pointless. But I guess, I was trying to find something, some kind of meaning to my week.
“You have only one life, what are u doing with yours?” while this ad keeps playing over on Hitz.fm. and I keep pondering with what I am doing with mine. Its true I don’t have it figured it. It’s a life of broken promises, bad working ethics, misjudge characters and random people that have passed my life without me knowing. And sure as hell, I don’t know how to finish this sentence or these ramblings.
