mood: indescribable is the word to describe music: im not missing you by stacie orrico
i feel sucha need to write this entry in details.so here goes. hiho.today was a long day.and i havent attempted any school work.but im fine with that.at least the day was meaningful.its my dad's birthday.in the day, i went to town to meet the foreign bodies people.there was a performance by the year twos for singapore youth festival's aniversary.as there was still time.everyone went to eat.i ate.so did sandra.so we went to the shop next door.and my oh my.i found alot of cool stuff.anyway.thats nt the point.well we walked ard for a while.and soon it was 330.so we headed down to ngee ann city for the performance.those seniors sure can move.i wonder whether i'll evr dance like that.even if i finally can dance like that.will i have the courage to in front of everyone.heart of a lion.i need a heart of a lion.
soon as it came soon as it also went.we loitered outside cartier.not knowing where we were heading to.we stood there for quite a long time.so sandra and i asked the others where we were heading.and guy T(T for typical) said to me"we can go to yr hse" and we can..(pointed to his shirt which said"come sleep with me".funny it seemed to me then.no one has evr said tht.i thgt hes sucha joker.maybe hes open-minded.and then i took notice of the manager of cartier peeking out.i was quite sure he was curious about the commotion outside the shop.and he saw me looking at him.so he stuck out his tongue at me.how cute can that get.a guy.a manager of cartier.in his fifties.sticking his tongue out at me.it contributed in one way or another to me feeling the way i feel now.life can be kind.
and then we decided to go to far east plaza.as i walked past the cartier showcase.i cldnt help looking at the gold necklace.it looked like a similar piece i saw at forever 21.it was expensive.cost 14 thousand.and then this guy frm the very big grp i was hanging out in said" hey isa, dream on lah" and i laughed while i said"hahah hey.you'll nvr know okay.im going to marry a rich man.im going to attend high class parties" i didnt mean it.i just thgt it was appropriate for me to say that then. people expected that reply.so i gave it to them. and then tht particular person. came and violated me with his words.again. "hey can i come along?" i said" no, you'll scare away all my potential fiances" "then when you're drunk. i can bring you home andd.." "by the next morning, you'll find yr pajamas all ovr the floor" this time it wasnt funny. guys.do not say such things.one piece of advice.be a gentleman.dont poison one's mind.
and so i laughed it off.again.
the third time it happened.i was leaving so was sandra.he didnt want us to leave.so he grabbed sandra's bag.and attempted to grab mine.i resisted.reassuring him then tt i wont be leaving anymore and that i had to have my bag with me because i had to answer a call frm my dad. and he said" i can help you answer." "hey uncle, your daughter's currently not available to listen" "why?" "because shes having sex"
that was the last straw. im not saying anything anymore. this time i just felt the space in between my brows tighten. i was flattered by the attention.not by the words.
drop that. and then when it was ard 7.i left.together with sandra. and when i reached hg station.i called my best friend.and my mum to ask her about dinner.and she was going to fetch me frm hg mall.so i sat on one of the steps and began telling my story to angela.then my mum called and i went to the entrance to wait for the car to arrive.and i hanged up.on the way to serangeoon gardens, i cldnt help feel like this day was going to be better. and it did turn out brighter.ironically near the end of the day. we went to some beef and ribs restaurant to have dinner.i ordered the ONIX stew.or smth like tht.it was alright.the ambience was nice and cosy.the music was great.it made me feel so at home.it opened its arms and drew me in.for a moment, i didnt mind working there.i felt blessed for having such a family.and that i cld have dinner with them without interruptions.my mum took a video of us eating.my evr so cheery and bubbly mum. my dad enjoyed what he ordered.his cheese oyster. i love you pa. time flies when you're hving fun.it was time to go home on an ordinary day. but this day was extraordinary. it wasnt going to be the same. so we headed to the esplanade. and the radio played stacie orrico's song. the song "im not missing you". and i laid back.and look at the streetlights.blissful.
the nightscene was beautiful. the streetlights are our stars. the carriages are our cars. the horseman's my dad. i looked out and i saw the fullerton hotel.and when i turned to the left.i saw the esplanade.i saw the huge banner which said" baybeats 2006" cool.it was going to be a fun night.it was so crowded. then my dad parked his car. we walked through the shops. and bought some marshmallow and fondue. and we went out to see the singapore river. orange lights. wind. the incomplete casino standing intact in its place.the buildings and its lights. its glossy tiles.reflecting light in every direction. and every light's reflection on the small gentle waves. and then, we went to listen to this australian band. the music was not bad. not bad at all. they were just a little pitchy. live performances.cannot be blamed. then i stood there frm afar. under a tree. and just allowed the notes to go in. wish i knew the name of the band. time seemed to have stood still.
i wanted to capture the moment forever. the best way i knew how was to video it down. the quality wasnt good.but oh well.
soon it was getting late.so we left. when i got back into the car.i felt very inspired to live a life of luxury. and no.i wanted it to come with a fight. im not depending on rich spouses. i want a volkswagen.i want to stay in a penthouse. i want to be able to give my parents a good life during their retirement years. i want to be able to be a successful career woman. i want to be able to dine at restaurants whenever i want.
so many thoughts were running through my head. i had to blog it. i didnt want to forget it.
last chapter of the day. we travelled through the expressway.even the expressway lights and cars looked good to me.i guess i was happy. so i took pictures again.
what a day. electrico's playing tmrw frm 7 to 830. anyone wanna come? im totally in love with them. gets me in the reflect-a-lot mood. perfect. just perfect.
