Once again I find myself in a very familiar spot. The one where I am aware that it is a quarter to midnight and I have a theory exam the next morning. I’m all alone roaming the streets, wanting to take my car for a ‘walk’ after it’s long undesired rest under the nylon curtain. It’s been a while since I’ve managed to appreciate the car well, especially right after the petrol prices shot up. Not that it bothers me a lot but I’m not the type that patrons gas pumps more times than a toilet in a day, so I just use a more… or should I say less thirsty car.
But now I’m not. I’m back in my beloved 7. I’m still cruising around the almost empty streets. Too often when I am on the road in a lack or urgency and yet have something urgent occuring soon… history strikes me right at the back of my head. Another Fall Out Boy tune plays on the changer and it’s a song that can’t help but make me picture thieves breaking into people’s property. I’m like that sometimes, having weird taste for music that helps me recall weird things.
Lost my phone again recently, or should I say had it stolen by one of my own classmates and it happened again today to another classmate. I still suspect the same person. Lost a lot of incentive to call, SMS or just communicate with anyone using phones now. Weird how I find myself traveling up to 20km just to pass a short message to a friend, because I can’t be bothered to find a phone to call him with.
Tomorrow’s French and Food Science. Have got no Food Science notes at all and I’ve been pulling 2 hour sorties (it’s my way of saying I started studying from A-Z 2 hours prior to the starting of the exam) for the past, oh, I don’t know, every paper? Yet again I see the urgentness, but there is no urgency in me.
I boost.
I want to photograph again, like how I used to do so enthusiastically. I feel like I’ve lost touch with the Rebel, and ever since I sold the F2.8L I’ve been stuck with the kit lens. Even more sad is people with point and shoots are producing better photos than this old bugger, seriously. Looking to get a budget lens soon, maybe an F4L or 28-135mm and just start clicking. Click click click until I encounter dejavu where I stand in an open park, with motives to take good pictures, but don’t know where to start. Why dejavu? because I always find the perfect angles, spots, lightings and people… when the camera is at home.
I boost again, this time longer.
Went for dinner at Rick’s Cafe, Bangsar. Sad to say the food was not up to par at all. Pasta with smoked duck and carbonara might as well have been called Pasta with Heavy Cream and some bird meat on the side, served with a gallon of clarified butter in it. Rejected the butter fish because dory fish from a box had a smoother texture than that, but was offered complimentary dessert. Wanted to talk to the chef a bit longer, but he didn’t seem like the talkative type and just snatched my plate and ran off. Was supposed to be a pleasant dinner me and the missus, turned out to be sour like the juice of a lemon.
Mom not feeling well, went to a tomyam store to take away some noodle soup, waited for 20 minutes to find out that the cook never even knew, took me another 15 minutes after leaving the place realizing I got the wrong item, but screw it.
D-day for the pastry competition is coming, don’t be there to see us okay? I’ll let you know what KDU makes.
I arrive home.
Can you fill in the blank?
