Great Wanderers

Went out with Li Soon on Wednesday night.

It was kind of a last minute outing as I had already reserved plans for Annabelle.
She was going Zouk with her group of close friends and we were discussing on whether I should join them too, or meet up with her afterwards so that we could go back together to her house that night.
Zouk wasn't exactly where I wished to go since I was there on Monday night and it didn't leave a good impression on me. Furthermore, She was heading there with a 'Girls only' outing in mind. Even if I wanted to tag along, she wouldn't really mind but I guessed it should be better if I was left out on this one.
But the problem was,
how the hell was I supposed to meet her after that?
There was no fucking way that I was going to take a cab all the way from my house to pick her up then going back to her place. Travelling from one end to the other in a taxi with midnight charge is even enough for the driver to hesitate for a moment.

'I think I have earned enough for the night.'
'Time for me to knock off and start work again tomorrow.'

I didn't have any other plans for the night,
and I had to come up with one fast.
The better solution would be to hangout at somewhere in the west until Annabelle was done clubbing. She could then take a cab, pick me up along the way and go back home together as an alternative.

I saw Li Soon on MSN and asked if he wanted to come out for a drink.
He was fine with it and I asked him if there is any place in the west where it's fun to chill out and have some drinks.
He wasn't really sure but according to him, Holland V wouldn't be that bad an idea.
We were suggesting to meet up in town first.
But somehow along the way while I was in the train, he changed his mind and told me to meet him at Commonwealth MRT station instead. He estimated the time to leave his house and assured me that he won't be late.

As soon as I reached Commonwealth, I called Li Soon on his handphone while wondering where exactly I should meet him. At that split second, I thought that he had been waiting there for some time and I was making haste out of the station.

'Eh, I reach liao.'
'Where are you?'
'Where you want me to meet you?'

I was expecting him to tell me whether I should turn the left or right exit but he gave me an even better response.

'Wa, so fast ah.'
'I now still at Clementi leh..'
'On the way liao.'

I slowed down my pace immediately and walked to the taxi stand beside the bus stop to wait for Li Soon's arrival.
About 15 minutes later, a car came and stopped in front of me.
It was dark and my vision was failing me. I couldn't really tell whether it was Li Soon on the driver's seat or not.
It was like a brand new car to me.
I remembered sitting in Li Soon's car a few months back. The impression it gave me was a rundown piece of crap and nowhere close to the car that was right ahead of me. I wasn't prepared for this, and it didn't feel right, so I glanced from a distance without approaching it at first.
I would have felt so less tensed,
and without a doubt,
presumed that it was Li Soon if the vehicle were to be a Pickup or a Lorry.

I focused for awhile and it was Li Soon alright.
I got into his car and asked him what happened to his previous one. According to him, the old one was being sold and that his dad had bought this current one for him to use.
Not for himself to use but for Li Soon to use.
Rich man's son sia.
I told him that he had became even more handsome than he already was before.
Because of his new car, Li Soon had exceeded the role of being the most handsome guy in MCC to someone of much greater heights.

Li Soon had unknowingly became the most good looking guy in South East Asia.

We arrived at Holland V and got down.
I wasn't familiar of the place so I suggested having a stroll around the place before deciding where to settle down. We walked from Coffee Bean all the way to the other end, which is not a long distance to begin with. Along the stretch, there was quite a number of pubs which were surprisingly closed on a holiday eve like this. The only place which caught my attention was Eski bar, which is situated right at the corner of the whole stretch.
It was just nice that I had to take a leak.
So I went into Eski bar and checked the place out before a decision was being made. The whole place was rather empty and only a small group of people could be seen. I went in, used the toilet and walked out of the pub thinking of another place to go.

We ended up at Coffee Bean.
Of all the places that we could go. But at least we did save up more than we intended to.
Got a drink each, sat down and chatted all the lame stuffs.
After some time, the place was closing so we walked back to his car.
It was around 1.30am in the morning and it was hard to think of where to go next.

After much hesitation, we left for Beauty World.
Somewhere in Bukit Timah.
We played an hour of Pool over there and then heading to MacDonald's after that.
King Albert's Park Macdonalds is 24 hrs but we left shortly after realising that there isn't a 24 hr toilet as well.
Despite the fact that only the drive-thru counter was available, and that there isn't any toilet for the public to go to, there were still many people around.
Those must be the hardcore starving kind of individuals who either have a very good control of their bladders,
or have bladders that are already burst.

We left for Clementi's MacDonald's.
Slacked all the way till it was time for Annabelle to come and pick me up.
Li Soon is such a nice guy.
He waited with me all the while until the cab came.

I got onto the cab and he took off like a racer,
hoping to impress the taxi driver,
who was the least bothered with him.
