Chapter 2- the outing
Today, was one of my first times agreeing to go out with me classmates. I'm a home boy! its time to know that. So originally, Jia Yan invited me. And she invited me several times already, and i always told her i was busy, which in some cases, were true, but in other cases, were false. So today, i woke up, studied and switched on the computer and to my extreme horror, i couldn't go to my chinese blog's page. I consulted several computer gurus and they could not identify the problem. Darren said it might go back to normal after a few days and for my own sake, i hope it does because there're marks counted.
So, me, aish, latif, sam and jy were scheduled to have a business meeting at tpc at 3. I didnt want to reach there early because i hated to wait, so i left home at 240pm. Whlist i was on the bus, i read a few pages of The Moral Law by Immanuel Kant, one of the famousest of all philosophers of the 18th century. I learnt many things about morality and immorality. Like, there are certain ways to do good, sometimes, we do good because there is a moral standard set and we have to do something just to follow that. The other alternative is based more on your sensual emotions, and do good based on what is right, something like that. Unfortunately, i do not have the book right now, i handed the book to Aish for safe-keeping, from the harsh singaporean environment. The first person i met at tpc was a cedar secondary school girl, i wasn't listening to what she said, so i just put in 2 dollars in her bag...afterwards, while we were headed for the Mrt, some Indian guy stopped us and persuaded us to donate 2 dollars each for HOME after a long introduction...because i had no change, i could only put 5 dollars in....in 5 mins, i spent 7 dollars....funny.. you work so hard to earn those money and it flys away so easily, but for someone else's good..although i didnt work for the money. I gave because i will, they clearly need it more than me.. Yes, we should be charitable, but not with the wrong intentions, not because the Bible said i should, not to give and smile at God and say '' I gave cash! can i go to heaven now?'' no, give because they need it...and i don't..So, we set off by MRT to some unfamiliar place called Dhoby Ghaut. You're probably laughing at me now because i'm a home boy and i am unfamiliar with Singapore.
From Dhoby Ghaut, we got to Tcc, some place where you sit on sofas and cushion, relax and drink some liquid filled with caffeine. So, i ordered a Vanilla appaggapa or something like that. For more than 2 hours or so, the girls dominated the scene and talked and talked. While me and Latif sat there in silence. Him staring at thin air molecules, and me staring at the fascinating floor. It was pretty awkward....why am i sooooo shy?Y?Y?Y? Yes, i think we had a great chat altogether, whether or not we were talking about pre-marital sex or simply sitting in silence....we did have a good chat. And then, Vanga came and now came the time for me to unwind a bit, now i feel more comfortable because there's a show to watch... When Vanga's around, people laugh... I know there are many people that dislike his presence but hey, Vanga's Vanga, he isn't gonna change to suit your liking, in fact, i like the way he is right now, although he offends people, that's true, but hey, it better to live in a world with people like Vanga, people who are truthful rather than living in a world of deceit and lies.
And so, we made our way home...me sam and latif taking the same line...again, that awkward silence filled the air...And so, after Samie got off, i followed latif to serangoon where i took 165 home......ALONE....While walking home, i, as usual, fantasized about winning some gaming show all about Lotr and crowned the smartest and youngest lotr fan...what a great dream..So this was my rather eventful day, although sitting around drinking ONE cup of coffee for a few hours wasn't that eventful, remember, i'm a homeboy... And so ends Chapter 2 of the Scriptures of Mithrandir...
