Last night was fun. Started it off with a cup of coffee, large, at the Coffee Bean, Century Square. Coincidentally, yin and i met our primary school teachers. What a surprise. First time in what? 7 years? When you say it out loud it actually doesn't seem very long, but it sure does feel like it. Awkward, yes initially, but i managed to strike up a conversation with Miss Fadzillah(i think) and Mr Derrick Yeo. One was my primary 2(can you believe it) math teacher while the latter was our pe teacher in primary 6. It was funny when they were busy racking their brains for some kind of recollection.
It was down to random chatter for the rest of the time at the place. Talked about friends, army, girls(keke), the future, cars(nfs ftw) and whatnot. It wasn't long before we had to leave as the outlet was closing for the day. For some reason we arrived at the topic of naming our children(if we manage to have any). Yin likes his double 'T's and i like my double 'N's. Then out came the ridiculous ones.
Me : "what about hercules? strong man leh"
Yin : "Zeus then, Zeus Lee! "
Me : *wtf*
Yin : "did you say Bruce Lee? No! It's ZEUS Lee!"
Both: *laughter*
Following that were the likes of insane examples like 'Tutankhamen' (another wtf), 'Ramses', 'Anubis', 'Nefertiti', 'Cleopatra'. Yes those are Egyptian. Some gods, even.
We sat down at Macdonald's next for his double-cheeseburger. It was closing as well so we left shortly. We walked along the MRT track adjoining Simei and Tampines. The time was around 12 midnight so there wasn't a single soul around except for the occasional passerby returning home from late-night work. Shared more opinions on names(we decided on a few), and then it was time to car-spot. The carparks were literally a goldmine for a car enthusiast like me, and a hardcore-crazy car fanatic like yin. Spotted my (most likely)dream car at the moment, a BMW Z-4. A low-riding 2 seater. Heh. Yin got his kicks from identifying various car models with car nut precision. There were nice ones here and there.
Time's 1.14 am. Taken at Shell Petrol Kiosk in Tampines.
The Z-4.
Ultimately we ended up at Simei MRT, munching on Hello Panda on the steps, drinking Pokka's Assorted Tea. Well on the way there we came across one place that creeped us out. I forgot which block it was, but we noticed something uncanny across the void deck when we passed the lobby. It was a painting. A Chinese one in fact. Of a woman. It's around 2.5 metres in height and 1.5 metres wide, hanging on the wall at the void deck. Yin noticed it first and i myself found it weird. It was staring at us between 2 columns of pillars. Eerie. Ok we decided to check it out on the way back anyway. The woman was Xishi. Google if you must. Why would a painting of Xishi be hung at a void deck? Strange. Well i didn't take a photo though. Yin's planning to check the place out some other time to see if the painting's still there. Hehe.
By the time we returned to Tampines via the same path, it was already 2.30am. I hailed a cab home while yin walked the remainder of the journey back. My parents got mad at me for staying out way past my curfew time, but fortunately they were already sleeping like logs when i got home. Nightwalk ftw.
