Hoooo yeah. The morrow brings a new year of hope, faith, love, everything nice and bad.
I just wanta let rip how HAPPY, truly, i was this holidays, tis' one of the best EOY holidays in all my years, probably The Best in recent years.....
It's been crazy, one helluva ride uphill/ downhill, physically/ emotionally, but the highs really make up for the lows. "Shorty get low low low lowwww" Haa!
In short, i am really grateful for the blessings of all the basic needs and wants this 2009.
Well, i had a pissing experience to the start of this New Year's Eve.
It was probably the longest twenty-minute ride of my life.
I've never rode in a vehicle going at less than the legal speed limit over the highway, what's more, past midnight. &*@*#!$!+@!!!## THAT GLOVED WOMAN IN THE GREEN CAB who drove at maximum 82km/hr for a few seconds on the East Coast Parkway (ECP) expressway!! That crawl through the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) tunnel, at precisely the legal limit of 70km/hr coulda raised my blood pressure up several notches. When she hit 80, i was like "oh good, progress, let's see how much higher you can go", ohh no, that moment of slight hope dissipated in seconds. I was piss-ass-annoyed as hell. Was in a dilemma to tell her to hurry it a little and risk the fare meter shooting up faster (according to speed) or let her continue with her law-abiding way and also allow the fare meter to overtake her (waiting time is charged too).
LOSING END, that's where i was. What a dreadful ten minute journey throught the KPE which costed me about 5 bucks plus 50% more, i dread to think how much i might have saved if i sat in a more efficiently-driven cab.
I've never watch anything with barely no action so intently, to this i meant the speedometer.
Well, Madame SloRida (you know how this inspiring name came about) finally made it onto the ECP (hurrah!) where the speed limit is 90km/h and i was hopeful that she would gear up and hit that pedal harder...
It was not to be. GOOD GOLLY GEE. You do not, i repeat, DO NOT, TEST MY PATIENCE LIKE THAT. I've gone 220km/h in a Mercedes Benz, 180km/h on a Phantom, and hit 140km/h on a Scrambler. Now imagine my pain. An adventurer. A speedster. Uhhhhhhh. I wanted to cry out. I was tapping my thick Politics book, making exasperated whimpers, i swore that kiasi woman knew. Let's call her Eve, short for Evil, eyed me covertly with a quick pupil-roll to the back.
I might have dealt her some sarcasm if i was seated next to her.
I had planned to say "you're a safe driver" after getting my change but when she took my fifty bucks, and examined the note front and back, i just said "thank you" in the most reluctant way ever and left her to roam the night on her might-as-well-be-a-motorised bicycle four wheeler.
Her rude behaviour is unexcusable; consider my story when i flagged her taxi:
Me: You have the NETS machine?
Eve: No
Me: You have change for $50?
Eve: *nods
Don't blame me for not being generous this NEW YEAR'S EVE since you want to stinge on the speedometer!
That's it, i am heading up North later at 3, hopefully can get a qipao/ cheongsam done for less than RM150. Ah, can't meet Mister Swagger since he's reporting for work at 4 and ending past MN. Considering the sardine-packed Esplanade area it'd be tonight, i don't know if i should meet him at Fullerton. Well, i'm sleepy and the New Year channel on aolradio.com is not enticing me to stay up and do any partying whatsoever. Waitamin, it's Top Jams channel. I'd clicked on the wrong one and listened to boring new age R&B stuff the past ten minutes?...
Ah, the moon...beautifully round and shady. Good night me.
I'll end with a lovely passage on living up life, which has been my phone's greeting message since its baby stage:
Dance like noone's watching,
Love like you've never been hurt,
Sing like noone's listening,
Live like it's Heaven on Earth!
Oohh yeahh babeyy, THAT'S the way i was at Ame's earlier.
Too much wine in me this month, I wonder if my alcoholic blood donated on the 29th will do any harm to the receiver. Let's see, the previous indulgence was 25th/ 26th, shouldn't be a problem.
HOKAY! NEED TO POOP. Might nap on the throne. Hah! Ending off on this note...
May 2010 be even more of an awesome year!
