My good friend, Weilong, would always complain, “Singapore is so small! You can only do so much in here!”
And I will always reply, “Please! Given a big country, what will you do when you are dating? Movies, food and shopping! Isn’t it?”
Or at least, that’s what I thought. You can stay in China or in the States, but when it comes to going out with your girlfriend, it’s like a routine. you will just do the same old thing. Only the filthy rich could afford a romantic candlelight dinner on one of those island in Bahama. It’s true. With rich comes romantic. Do you seriously think that a poor lad can afford 999 stalks of roses?
Midde class people like us could only afford the likes of Swensen (Sucks!)), Cafe Cartel (Not Bad!), Pastamania (I Like!) … kind of resturant. I was shocked when WL informed me earlier on that he’s having coffee and cakes at CoffeeClub, in Takashimaya.
“You mean you do things alone? That’s new!”
“I’m trying to be like you! Can do things alone!” He replied. That arse. He sounded as if I’m a loser. What he had said is true. Sometimes, I love to do things alone. Not that I’m in depression, but the feeling of no-one be bothering you is so great. You can do what you like without having to spare a thought for your companion, if you are going out as a group.
“Woah! It’s the kind of indugle that I will go for when I have money…”
“I only have $20 in my pocket and I stepped in! It’s so expensive!” He interrupted.
“Well…You are rich…”
“Who say!” He interrupted me. Again.
“And nowadays, I just make do with a cup of tea at home to satisfy my crave!”
That’s the thing about not being in a job!
I need to start work soon!!!
