Saturday
Just came home not too long ago from a smoking session and supper with Denise, Jasper, their sailing friend and Biyu.
Don’t get me wrong, we weren’t exactly puffing on cigarettes or cigars for the matter, but had gone down to a
sheesha café over at Arab Street to try smoking tobacco that was laced with molasses and fruit flavours.
It wasn’t exactly a very fun or interesting experience because it was basically just inhaling and exhaling the lightly fruit scented tobacco smoke, and the ambience in that particular café was not exactly unique or special, but it was nice playing catch up with Jasper after not seeing him around for some time.
Jasper’s accident with the glass urn [he broke it while trying to lift up the urn] did not made anything better and set him back by $200, a hefty price to pay for a glass urn.
We went down to Lao Pa Sat after the smoking session for supper but did not stay for long since Jasper and Denise had a competition tomorrow morning.
Friday
Last night also finally managed to caught up with Joshua, and he was a real darling to offer to drive Winnie back home before we went down to meet up with Denise and Ambrose for prata over at Al Ameen in Bukit Timah.
We also played pool after the supper though I was quite knocked out by 2am largely because of the lack of sleep from supper and watching soccer [
Greece v Czech Republic] the night before, as well as having awoken too early for a run that morning.
Thursday
Learnt from Viola over the past few days the problems that she is going through with her boyfriend, or rather the problems that her boyfriend gives her I would say.
I really sympathises with Viola, that she definitely deserves a better man than Samuel with her qualities. It is not as she has any lack of suitors from what I hear from Winnie.
But I guess it is never easy for one to put down and walk away from a relationship after all the time and effort one has invested, especially when she has been in the relationship for some 6 years…
However I feel that she ought to put an end to it once and for all should she be able to determine that the relationship will not take a turn for the better, or if the boyfriend remains a jerk.
What I feel is no matter how hard it will be she will just have to do it, or she could still be in the relationship next year this time and she still will not be happy.
What kind of boyfriend uses the word
Fuck Off on his girlfriend, what kind of guy has to live off the girlfriend? [I was really disgusted to hear that when Samuel visits Viola at her condominium she has to pay for his cab fare home, she also pays for his telephone bills and etc…] And on top of it, that insecure guy actually forbids Viola from going out with guy friends, or even the act of having a
Friendster account.
His warped logic being that if he can live without a
Friendster account or going out with other girls, she should be able to do so too. But that leaves me pondering over how he managed to break up with Viola then when he back was in poly, not once but twice.
I find it pretty amusing and funny that such a guy can lead the service in his church, and that he wants to be a pastor or do missionary work in the future. Like what Joshua said, it is just so hypocritical if he can demonstrate two such different sides to different people, a saint to the people in his church and an utter jerk to his girlfriend.
It doesn’t matter if he can command attention, is a good speaker or charismatic. What I feel is his behaviour simply would not be something the lord would approve of, and to have such a person leading the service…
That guy should wake up and understand the fact that his girlfriend is in university and there are certainly other guys out there… some with perhaps much better qualities, and that she could have walked away instead of sticking by him and putting up with his nonsense.
As a friend, I can only hope Viola is right and that her boyfriend would start to evaluate his own actions and stop being such a lowly self esteemed jerk and take a turn for the better or that she hardens her resolution enough to be able to walk away from him.
