<$> Because memories are forever <$>
::
Money can't buy happiness; How true. Maybe it's just us. Or maybe it's because we care. I don't know why...but suddenly the topic of old folks sprang up into our conversation. Well, frankly speaking, old folks ain't in my mind when it just pops out of nowhere. I was listening(and stuffing cotton wools into my ears) to dear Doraemon-Dee singing going on higher than high pitch note. Thanx for the song dedication though, dear gurlfwen... but I highly recommend that you have the karaoke session not 11.30pm in the night(wif tat kind of singing; tak leh tido malam nanti orang yang terdengar...hehee or should I say you can raise the dead with that screech).
If you peeps are wondering what happened here's the story:
Was sooo bored last night. Don't know why...just my moody mood swing, maybe. Of course there's no specific reason; that's the exact point I'm pissed at. Almost killed cup cake with boredom; the whole hour on the phone was filled with silence(or maybe two/third of it). Sheesh. Been feeling lethargic lately. Not to mention those migraines... Grr hate it. So, I was peacefully slipping into bed when suddenly remembered Dee. Of course, I had no choice but to phone her. Promised to call her maah ... bumped into her at McD's earlier yest. She's working there, you see.
Dragged myself to the phone and dialed her number. Took 20secs just to answer(felt like stranggling her). And like always, her background is like the Zoo. Honestly Dee, it's was more like a karaoke lounge. Her family was having karaoke session at 11.30pm!!! And so I was jolt WIDE awake. Had a pep talk for awhile before Dee's younger sister Raudhah a.k.a ilma's-second-edition, dedicated a song for me.aawwww...how sweet. lil' Raudhah was singing for me(at least her voice is better than Dee's-hehee). Let's see...hmm... Dee dedicated three songs for me and lil' Raudhah one... or was it two? Yup, ended up singing along with Dee. Sometimes we sang in unison and sometimes out of tune. haha. Couldn't stop laughing- our singing was soooo funny. Dee warned me to prepare blankets and thick rain coats for rain. Said it's gonna rain after all her singing. But guess what... it rained!!! A true miracle, Dee's singing made it rain. hahaha...hmm. Your predictions was right, Dee- it rained!!! And that made me overslept today.
But anyway, karaoke session ended around 12.30am. By that time I was in high spirits. Talk and talk and talk. YA, me and Dee very talkative. The only times we didn't talk was during tests and exams; other times we just can't shut up. That's the reason teachers split us; me, one end of classroom and Dee, the other end. So pathetic? Nope, I don't think so. Well, that happened in pri 3 and 4; in pri 5 and 6, teachers just gave up. hehee.
It was Dee's mentioning of a recent visit to an old folk's home that started the topic. She told me of how those old folks there treated her. Shocked and quite sad to know that most of them are suffering from alzheimer's disease. They only remember their past; nothing of the current event is recognizable to them. Dee mentioned that one patient keeps warning her to hide; said that the Japanese is out for them. This patient is clearly a survivor of the war. He's such a poor thing; living in fear even now when there's no war. Another patient acts like a baby; she thinks anyone around is her mom. She's asking for a mother's love- how touching... Must be missing her mom alot. So many different types of memories they're living in. All in a different world of the past. Lost in memories forever. All I know about alzheimer is that there's no cure. They'll live on in their world until they get too lost in it and finally, death will come for them. Soo...sad. We were crying by the time the conversation ended. But what keeps coming back is the patient who said she's ready to die cuz she's where she wants to die. She thought she's in her homeland for God's sake!!! She didn't know that she's in an old folks home. *sobs*
But anyway, what can we do? All I hope is for us to never contract this alzheimer's disease.
Went out with cup cake and Iqa yest. Crashed TM, Century Square and, as usual, WhiteSands. Nothing much happened. We're just fooling around for fun and to kill our, aawww how sweet, I-miss-you feeling. Grabbed some books at the library then headed for McD's. That's where I met Dee; didn't know she's working yest. Ooh Dee!!!! I really ReallY REALLY miss you. God! I almost flew over the counter to hug her. Honey, take care of yourself. Don't get depressed becuz some insensitive-bloody-asshole jerks threw heart-searing comments at you. I'm always here(though I, myself, sometimes busted you abit; well, what can you expect Dee? Bestfriends do sometimes murder each other heheee).
Back to the story. Me decided to buy milkshake from Dee but as you can see(or maybe not see but understand), she's in charge of the main order counter not the ice-cream/milkshakes counter so after paying I still have to go and queue at the outer counter. Well, well, well... It's Shahdan who's in charge. What should I say about him? He's like 'pak-cik taichi'!!! Soooo slow. Took like 15mins to serve two customers in front of me. sheesh. Got a bit annoyed. And as you all know; once I'm annoyed, I just can't shut-up. So naturally, this poor 'pakcik taichi' got a speech from me that was, I can say, at the speed of an oncoming train.. Btw, settled everything and chilled out at the park before heading home.
Till here pretty people!!! Muackzzz.
