As we walk... As we walk..

Today... I started my crazy walking again....

This evening, I reached Dhoby Ghaut at around 7.20pm.
Did what I need to do there...
I had choices... To find a place to eat...
To go home and eat... sleep early, and wake up to watch Liverpool vs AC Milan..
To find a good place, whereby I can drink my beer and listen to live band...

Just like many other days....
I have no appetite...
My only hearty appetite will only be in front of friends...
Soooo that they won't get worried??
But I'll feel sick stuffing all those food inside me..... Not stuffing.. but.. yah..

So I chose to walk first...

7.30pm...
I started walking....
From Park Mall.... via Penang Road... to Clemencea Ave....
Then walk along Clemencea Ave...
Reach the junction, whereby right is MS, left is Liang Court/MOS....
I walk to my left...
Walk through the Cannery... Clinic really looks very clinic-y...
Yah man.. I'm blabbering rubbish here...

Then I cross the bridge over to Merchant Court Hotel...
And walk down that stretch, along the river.... towards Boat Quay...
Oh.. guess what you can't find at such a big, new Central shopping centre?
You can't find the normal pharmacy/drugstore like Guardian or Watson's...
How amazing.....

Then walked through the underpass under Hill St...
Reached Riverwalk....
This place reminded me of July last year...
Where FOC final night was held at HomeClub...
Last year...... Last year..
Anyway, HomeClub looked so different from then...
I'm glad that they renovated...
At least it looks good from the outside now...

Then.... quite some time was wasted at this area...
Looking for Watsons... blah blah blah...
Some other things.. fear of...
Never seen myself trembled so much...
Results.
Tears are to relieve stress and fear..
If I'm talking alien.. Just treat me alien here..
No further questions to be asked... Not gonna be entertained..

Then picked up from there..
From Riverwalk, I crossed the road...
Wanted to reminisce abit... and go to the jazz bar...
The group wasn't performing tonight...
Disappointing...
Felt lost... Everything's just different.......

A year's difference.. or even months' difference...
Everything's just different.........

I came down from the stairs of Jazz bar...
I continued walking.... walk along Boat Quay...
I reached Fullerton Hotel... via underpass, I reached One Fullerton...
And walked to the Merlion... what do I remember here?
A delivery of a big bouquet of sunflowers to a guy, who wanted to surprise the gf...
I remembered where I stood that day...
Then I walked up the staircase back to my Teleport machine..
Oh.. yah.. I walked up the staircase.. cross the road...
Walked along the Fullerton Road....
Then back to the Singapore River....

Just before I reached the banks of the river...
I looked up to the sky...
A shooting star.... gliding through the dark night sky in a flash...
My immediate reaction... close my eyes, and make my wish...
A very fast one, that can be made with a blink of the eye, before the star finished gliding...
A very fast one, cos it was probably the only wish for the past 1 year.. that I always wanted...
But wishes never come true, right?????

I slowly walked back...
Reached Q-bar...
Reminded me of the booklet in the flight to Koh Samui...
Reminded me of how drunk someone got, with Anton and gang..
Made me wondered how did all of them look like or behave there..

Then I walked down....
Passing MoS...
Reminded of the tertiary fling that night...
Reminded of the first time I was brought to MoS...
Cos the techno place at the old Ridley's wasn't playing techno?
Or was it still called Ridley's?! It's behind Specialist Shopping Centre...
That night was a night that I felt, we were in our own world at our table...

I walked further down... till I reach the 7-eleven at Mohd Sultan...
Decided to walk down MS....
Looking at my watch...
Today is Wednesday... Then I looked at MS...
The whole stretch of pubs and clubs is more or less gone...
Coyote Ugly is gone....
Cartel is gone..
Madam Wong is gone... replaced by spas and services that pamper yourself...
Double O looks pathetic..
Bar Celona... I looked at the seats there..
Reminded me of that time I came down to join you and Daniel..
Talking about the page layout/design for advertising Avenue on the commercial magazine..
All and all.. gone...
Gone are the good old days of bar hopping on ladies nights along the street...
Gone are the good old days of hogging the platform, meeting hum sup guys...
Guys who try to pick up girls are CMI guys.. cannot make it..
The only thing girls wanted to do, was to dance and maybe a few free drinks will be good.. lolx..
Gone. Gone. Gone.

After Bar Celona...
I walked..
The Pier at Robertson Quay is the next place after Boat Quay that I find it more lively...
There's a Harry's @ The Pier or something like that...
Good place for soccer matches.. hehe..
Then I walked towards the Singapore River again..
And started walking along the river..
Walk and walk...
I walked all the way till the end of the road..
And I've just checked the streetdirectory...
The bridge at the end, that led to Zouk, is actually called Jiak Kim Bridge...
Bridge that eats gold... munch munch...
Yes... I reached Zouk.. and felt lost..
1030pm.. Zouk seemed souless.. and the crowd.. very young... -.-
Seems like quota of my walk had not been reached...
I still feel very uncomfy... and restless...
Jan said about souless at Zouk, cos many people go to St James nowadays?!

So I thought.. from Zouk... how to walk to St James huh?!!
Totally not clear about that area...
I couldn't care less, and just walked towards Tiong Bahru MRT...

Then from Tiong Bahru...
With the vague impression from...
How my perverted groupmate drove me from Tiong Bahru Plaza to Mount Faber...
I walked in that direction...
And... driving and walking really very different...

At the junction of Delta Rd and Tiong Bahru Rd.. I was quite lost..
To walk straight? or to turn left??!
End up, using my sixth sense.. I turned left....
Before I reached the next cross junction...
I was mugged of $2 by this china man...
He claimed to be penniless, and wanted to return me the money..
I gave him $2, but he asked for more...
I can't possibly give him $10 right?
I was afraid he would snatch my handbag some more..

Then I walked... till Lower Delta Road..
The Lower Delta flyover...
I stood there for quite a while...
Looking at the cars streaming ferociously under the flyover...

Then I carried on walking...
Till I know.. Oh.. So here's Radin Mas Secondary School, and St Teresa's Convent
Then when I walked further down....
I came across the signboard for Mt Faber...
Then I came across the signboard for Sentosa...
Then slowly... I reached St James..
Different. Different feeling....

St James marks the end of my whole walking routine...
Next, I walked over to HarbourFront to get Big cup of coke from MacDonalds...
Then I walked by the sea side... Standing by the sea side.. feeling the breeze...

Actually I wanted leave Vivo before my last train, probably 1145pm?
But I bumped into Dawn, henceforth, hanged out till 2pm...

The next day.. I assumed to be... *shake head*

sugary sweet savouring @ 3:05 AM |
