mused @ 1:27 AM
it was a day of nostalgia.
in the afternoon, i met jon ang and his girlfriend at the esplanade in the heavy rain. managed to reach the esplanade just in time for the concert.
they played famous tunes from super mario, zelda, metal gear solid and world of warcraft. it sure beats mp3s, with the raw emotion of the piece shining through. i won't talk much about it there but go to jon ang's blog (to the right) for more information. it was just brilliant. one winged angel... never thought i would have heard it live. amazing and brilliant.
i headed to wenjie's house after that to celebrate his 21st birthday. we played a prank on him by giving him a 'razor' mouse, a mouse ataris- conveniently drew the razor logo along with a 'exactmat' mousepad. it was hilarious.
but of course, what made the birthday memorable was not the prank or the chocolate fondue (though that was pretty good). it was the people.
wenjie's army friends were there and i knew most of them through playing dota. poppocud (st), valariel (jun ming), ataris (hui teng) and xxblitzxx (jacob).
some of my friends from temasek secondary were there too: steve, ramasamy, dilip and miss wong.
and of course 21/03 tjc - min, charlene, adrian, leslie, boon meng, pao ee, kumar, chuan and kat.
there was plenty of catching up done, the latest gossips about what had happened in our lives, what was happening in our class mates lives and people around us. even after not meeting like for 5 months, we just gelled together so fast, talking and talking. it was like a day had only passed since we last met. hardly a silent or dull moment.
i guess spending 2(4) years together is not something time can erase. even though we have our differences (in many aspects of character, personality and outlook), its the synergy that makes it tick. you can try to forget, try to let it go, but it will always be there for you, whether you want it or not.
we finally did give wenjie his present. i hope he enjoys it.
when you go forward, sometimes, a little of yesterday is nice too..
