Basket Case.

A really funny thing happened yesterday as we were shopping for groceries at the supermarket.

I was getting Pei Yi’s fav mushrooms and I asked her to get a shopping basket. When she returned, she had in her hand a red basket which was awkwardly different from the supermarket’s usual green 1. I figured it was all right coz I saw a stack of them behind her from where she was coming from. We shopped and was about to pay…when the cashier asked us if we were gonna buy the basket.

Only den did I realise tat the basket was for sale and not a shopping basket! We laughed so hard at our folly tat the cashier , a middle-aged lady couldn’t help but stifle a giggle!

Rustin (my cousin) and I went to a Anime Exhibition @ Suntec. The standard of cosplayers in Singapore is a dismayal thing…but I had better hopes for the stuff on display.

However, I’d take my words back coz there are quite a few gems of Cosplayers among the heap of lolita-wannabes. A really cute Harumi Cosplayer with amazing thin legs and also a couple of other girls with really good outfits! The guys were not bad but none could compare to the guy who came in a Gundam Suit. RESPECT!

Ring Ring…

Its so dramatic, how 1 call can change everything in a day. I just came back from a happy day, sharing the day’s going-ons with Pooi Yue while we took the train back home. We even had some light dessert and shopped for groceries together before coming home to cook noodles.

Then, Belle called me. Half drunk and with no 1 else to depend on, she called her last resort – me. After repeated attempts to hold some sort of conversation and keep her awake on the line, she cut the line saying she’ll call back. But the damage had been done. Pooi Yue saw me on the line with her.

Now I’m not trying to blame anybody but I’m just bemoaning the fact that my girlfren doesn’t have the understanding and trust that I require. The call came at a bad time too….I tink we both know its better that we stay away. Not that we can’t be frens, but its too difficult to be frens. I sometimes think Pooi Yue ranted abt the correct thing – Why must she call me? . Its a question that I can’t explain but I noe the answer.

The next morning and today, she’s been giving me the cold shoulder despite my attempts to reconcile. Frustrating to be in such a situation , especially since I did nothing to provoke it. My logical side tells me to give my love some time and it will work out in the longer run. It preaches patience and understanding. But my other side tells me that if this goes on any longer, I’ll gladly just fuck it and destroy everything.

Its such a crazy struggle….and to tink it all began with a call.

Damn.

All This While.

Its been truly ages since I last blogged.

The days pass by with godspeed and memories rack up like no one’s business. Pei Yi and I are watching the dust settle on our relationship, as we slowly edge out each other’s deepest and darkest secrets. The common disturbances and rants are fading away and maybe…well really maybe , I can see some hope in her – that she can be The One.

Apart from seeing her daily, I still get to meet Ber occasionally, catch a movie alone and attempt to catch up with Ben and Ron (although most of the times with my love in tow).

Recently, Obama got into the White House and I’m glad to say he’s staying put. The only good Bush is inbetween a sexy woman’s legs alright? I once saw on a Youtube clip that this year( well this century perhaps?) is the time of Change. The Age of Pisces. The handover of almost everything. With every handover of any kind…there’s bound to be some chaos, so I tink we should all hang in there while we wait for the dust to settle.

A global recession is on the loose and I tell you guys…I can feel it already – because my shops sales has hit rock bottom. I can expect every other brand to be crying the same thing…but honestly…if no 1 shops and buys stuff den the brands and shops go bust. With that happening I can tell you we’ll have alot of jobless people adding to the already jobless/scrimping club…so PEOPLE GO OUT AND BUY SOMETHING.

It helps. No I mean it ,it really does. The whole fucking economy works on this simple rule. Some dude/gal buys something and the shops earn money, they pay their staff and their staff buys something. Simple Chain ya? If most people stop buying stuff den there’s no way the economy can run coz its missing one side of the formula….

On a lighter note…I’m sad yet happy to say I’m now the Sole Owner of Monolith Clothings Company.

My partner has decided to leave with her share of the capital and while I dare say she was of a great help…I’ve already got the Company up on its own feet. In a few more orders, my company will be capital free and I can start operating on profits alone. If you guys out there wanna give me a hand…den please go look at the website www.alternativeapparel.com and den email/msn me to get some nice clothes for yourself. Haha!

Meanwhile, I’m gonna head back to my bed. Its gonna be a rocking 2009 in a month plus….and I dunno if its gonna be because of the tanks rumbling downstairs or is it due to the applause and celebrations from the households in my block. But I hope its the latter. 🙂
