Lips And Bounds

OH CRAP MY SPEEDBALL.

My speedball just rolled down the bed but I'm lazy to go fetch it. So anyway, I'm back. Yay, Hipee. Haha...



It was a fun stayover. Very different from what it was last time. Cause the key fun people like Daniel and Aaron weren't around. But I liked the quietness and the slacking and the lazing-on-the-bed-staring-at-the-ceiling-doing-nothing thing that we did alot. It felt very summer holidays.

We played monopoly and BC, Hoops and Qianger ganged up against Hanif and I so we lost.
We went PS and had Ben and J's which was kindly sponsered by Hooper.
We talked at 3 am in the pool below his condo all the way to 5, about life and the crap things that come with it.


And I was always the one getting bullied. Hahaha..

But it's okay.

I liked it. Cause it was so relaxed. No obligations, no masks, no try-too-hards making jokes and keeping the spirit high. It was like therapy. For once I could run away and breathe from the things in the present. Late the first night he called and I forgot to answer. And maybe I didn't want to. That night just brought everything back, but Hooper made sure I had closure.

We walked back from town to Hoop's place and Hanif and I kept talking and singing and singing and we did rock songs and pop songs and christmas songs. Hahaha.. it was fun trying to sing really loud in an empty street.

You could see the most amazing view from the penthouse. In Jon's room, the sunrise was absolutely detailed. How the dark clouds will roll away and break up to show the bright orange sky beneath, and one side of the city will still be dark and in slumber, and the other side wakes up to another lazy morning. I used to love that when I was younger.

In primary school I would walk through the balcony walkway to get to the lifts at my apartment. 7.20 Am. The skies would always seem to be scattering away to reveal the bright new morning. And I used to think to myself that that's how the sunrise is. And I would walk really really slowly to enjoy it.


So that morning, BC, Hooper and I leant across the ledge and stared at the brightening day. Pointing out to different clouds and different incoming planes. We said how the sunrise looks just like the sunset. But how the sunrise always seem so much more tranquil.

And we finally slept after that.

When everyone woke up we slacked and watched Justice League and MTV all day and went for a dip later in the afternoon. Hanif left for dinner and BC left after dinner. And then we went to Kino and sat down by the aisle and read graphic books, and then we finally went home.



It's funny why it's like that in one place, and another in another place. Even after 3 years, some things don't change. Some friendships remain the same. And some become stronger. And it's great to know that. :]
