A much needed talk, with the dearest of old lost friends

I think I'll just dump it here. No one's gonna read the whole thing. It's just for me i suppose.

10:17pmGan

10:17pmMe

10:17pmMe

10:17pmGan

yes..

10:17pmMe

oicic

10:18pmGan

and i'm sent to some out of town place.. whereby a person or my status is, well apparently, highly respected...

10:18pmMe

hmm sounds cool

in msia?

10:18pmGan

10:22pmGan

have you settled down yet.. i mean with a more or less fixed gf?

10:22pmMe

haa nope

10:22pmGan

well at least there are ups

10:22pmMe

i think being in this line..

kinda makes you wary and very cynical abt girls

i don't wanna play, i do wanna find someone

but man that is tough

10:23pmGan

true..

but you do get laid a lot don't you?

10:23pmMe

HAHAHA

10:34pmGan

last i heard from him, yeah he was with a caucasian...

i heard she'll be back in sg

10:34pmMe

cool

10:34pmGan

for 2 weeks in may or something...

10:34pmMe

how is she?

happy?

married maybe? lol

10:35pmGan

hmm, she seems to be ok.. not married though, i think...

10:35pmMe

icic

dunno why she avoids me tho

its not like i'm still pissed off

i honestly see us as very good friends that drifted apart

10:36pmGan

maybe it's just.. hmm..

well i suppose it's complicated..

10:36pmMe

?

what do you mean

i'm happy for her

really

10:38pmGan

honestly i dont know the exact mechanics... in fact i've forgotten about the real reason why guys were not on talking terms...

but for some reason.. girls have a long memory...

10:38pmMe

well

before she left for korea we were good

then like 6 mths later i think

she found someone else

10:39pmGan

oh, you were? hmm... yah.. I rmb something like that

10:39pmMe

and when she told me she said sth like how she still felt like i betrayed her that time with val

which can go both ways, because we were on a break

but i can understand

and that was that

10:40pmGan

ok..

10:40pmMe

i tried contacting her before

just wanted her to know that whatever it was im happy for her is all

that we can be friends

yknow being in my line, true friends are hard to come by

honestly

10:41pmGan

hmm... i'll pass the msg..

i perfectly understand...

10:41pmMe

yeap

oh hey

if she is uncomfortable abt it

10:42pmGan

i mean "i understand perfectly".. geez, staying in places where malay is the lingua franca... my command of english does slip

10:42pmMe

let it lie yknow?

10:42pmGan

i will let her know..but i cant be sure if she'll be cool though...

10:42pmMe

what do u mean?

10:42pmGan

yeah,,,

10:42pmMe

is she still upset at sth?

i did sth else?

10:43pmGan

actually, i'm not entirely sure...

10:43pmMe

lol bro

its ok if you cant tell me

just lemme know i'll let it pass

too old for past stupidity too

10:44pmGan

she doesn't mention about things of the past lately, just her boyfirend that she met in korea i think...

10:44pmMe

kk

10:45pmGan

in fact, i think it was as you mentioned.. from that val thing...

10:45pmMe

haha

kinda makes us even now huh

if u think abt it

10:45pmGan

well, no...

coz it seems like you're over it, but she isn't///

10:46pmMe

wow

till now?

10:46pmGan

maybe she hold grudges, maybe it's been too long that the had no room for reconcilation...

she probably don't rmb it well anyway... i think

i don't... that's for sure..

i'm sure donq don't rmb either...

10:47pmMe

hmm thats sad

lol rmb donq for a while liked her as well?

maan that was weird

10:48pmGan

what i meant was it was such an age old story that she couldn't rmb well, hence she doesn't know how to forgive u...

hmm.. we all like her.. in different ways i guess...

she is a charming girl after all...

i saw her as my spoilt sis whom, derserves much more spoiling...

10:49pmMe

haha very true

yknow looking back is kinda

10:49pmGan

well for donq.. he probably went in a wrong direction with his feelings...

probably saw as some1 he wanted to protect...

10:49pmMe

nah u cant fault a man like that

emotions are harder than a nucleara reaction to control

10:50pmGan

nope.. we spent too much time together...

10:50pmMe

hmm

well whatever the case

i wanna be able to see all of you again

10:50pmGan

we are best friends after all

10:50pmMe

with your new significant other and all

10:50pmGan

i certainly do mate... i certainly do..

10:50pmMe

still are

10:51pmGan

lol, i'll try to bring her along...

10:51pmMe

its like the 4 of us are in 4 frickin diff continents man

10:51pmGan

she's not too fond of JB

yeah...

i jsut came back from japan...

and i love it there...

10:51pmMe

wow man

cool

10:52pmGan

i could live there forever...

10:52pmMe

thats my next destination

dude i loved europe

i cld like like a tramp and feel like a king there

i think

10:52pmGan

and man, the ladies are hot...

10:52pmMe

in japan?

yeah

check out the video!

we had the cyberjapan girls fly down

10:53pmGan

yeah...


---MISSED CHUNK. He asked me how things with me and god.

Me

Hahaha

i honestly do not know how to answer that

i'm not as bitter as before for sure

mellowed alot

11:02pmGan

hmm.. still like before... or have you reconciled with Him...?

11:02pmMe

A LOT

11:03pmGan

haha...

that's good...

11:03pmMe

i think we agree to disagree

i at least i did

11:03pmGan

well, you're making progress

11:03pmMe

him i'm not too sure

11:03pmGan

yes that's true...

i miss those days dude..

i miss the conversations especially..

11:03pmMe

hurrah

11:03pmGan

and our sparring sessions

11:03pmMe

haha

i dunno man

thing is

the more i read and research

and the more science understands the universe

11:04pmGan

i miss those swollen fingers...

11:04pmMe

and the more history is understood

the idea of religion is not as it was

HAHA yeah me too!

i hardly do that anymore

and run a lot

but i got a hip injury recently so that grounded me from the track

11:05pmGan

yeah i juz do some dumbbell exercises at home..

hmm.. don't overdo mate..

11:05pmMe

thats good

yeah i know

things is its a blessin in disguise in a weird way

cos when i couldnt run

i had to stick to the gym

and i realized that whatever i did was not working

so i got a friend to help

and i improved a lot

11:42pmMe

oops okok wait

11:42pmGan

np

11:42pmMe

11:44pmMe

okok

wow really?

11:44pmGan

yeah,,,

11:44pmMe

the nietzsche and revolution one?

the 1st one is the logo basically

it does look too big and bulky

11:45pmGan

no, revolution and contaganda

11:45pmMe

hmm

ahh okok

definitely

when i print them i'll get one of each for you

11:46pmGan

cheers to that!

11:46pmMe

haha

the contraganda one took a while

to hand draw the ambigram

they're all primarily hand drawn on illustrator

11:46pmGan

nice...

maybe you should get a drawing pad...

one of those wacom tablets

11:47pmMe

haha yeah i shd

saving to get a good one

weird to draw with the mouse and time consuming

11:47pmGan

yeah.. the latest line.. intuos 4 is great...

but the intous 3 is pretty good already...

11:47pmMe

cool i'll look out for it

how much is it?

11:48pmGan

hmm, my friend bought a A4 sized intous 3 last year, and it cost him about RM1200

11:48pmMe

ok

thats abt 600 then

i'll ask cedric

he shd get a gd price for it

my budgets 400

haha

boot strapping

do you watch battlestar galactica?

11:49pmGan

do not get other series other than the intous 3/4, the other lines like the bamboo is more for students... intous 3/4 is their professional line...

11:49pmMe

got it

11:50pmGan

:D

11:50pmMe

do you watch battlestar galactica?

11:50pmGan

no..

11:51pmMe

haha okok

11:51pmGan

jenx was crazy over it once upon a time..

11:51pmMe

its the only scifi series i watch

oh no there's a remake

11:51pmGan

is it that good? or is it bcoz of the chick?

11:51pmMe

and i honestly say

its not just the chick

11:51pmGan

i know jenx watched it coz of the chick...

11:51pmMe

it is

SERIOUSLY

11:51pmGan

lol

11:51pmMe

fucking mindblowing good

VERY INTELLIGENT

11:51pmGan

right,,,

11:52pmMe

they make you think on a lot of issues today

11:52pmGan

i'll dload the latest remake then..

11:52pmMe

from religion, to science to history to ethics

11:52pmGan

nice

11:52pmMe

seriously

one of the best series i have seen

and i dun say that lightly at all

least of all for scifi haha

11:52pmGan

right...

i'll not miss it ;)

the only drama i'm watching now is house... coz i makes me think of the cases they face...

11:52pmMe

and the revolution tshirt is actually based on that

ahh okok

i love that

hugh laurie ftw

lol

11:53pmGan

i see...

yeah... he is it..

btw, did u catch sherlock holmes, the movie?

11:54pmMe

haha yes!

i oved it!

loved

11:54pmGan

haven't had good stuff like this in a while...

11:54pmMe

haha yeah the banter was awesome

did u know

11:54pmGan

me too...

11:54pmMe

that house was based on holmes?

11:54pmGan

yes! exactly!

yes...

11:54pmMe

and watson and wilson haha

its like house md in a different career 200 years ago

11:55pmGan

which was why i was kinda disappointed they didn't get hugh laurie to do it.. but rober downey did a great job

11:55pmMe

yeah i think he'd have killed it

11:55pmGan

yeah...

11:55pmMe

but i do understand the poistion

11:56pmGan

i agree...

11:56pmMe

because hugh is so related to the character

having him play another character that his current character is based on

11:56pmGan

honestly, it has been quite sometime since i've seen any movie that good...

11:56pmMe

will just have been a weird non-shift for fans

yeah

well i've been watching a lotta good movies actually

but thy're not necessarily blockbusters tho

11:57pmGan

tell that to my local cinema...

11:57pmMe

haha

HAHA

11:57pmGan

they only show blockbusters...

3 months late

11:57pmMe

hahahahaha

have you watched Michael Clayton?

11:57pmGan

i usually dload the bluray rip and watch on my tv

no...

11:58pmMe

dude

watch

11:58pmGan

didn't even know about the movie.. sad to say..

ok...

11:58pmMe

george clooney at his best ever performance

and a very tight and powerful script

11:58pmGan

i will..i too detached... from the real world.. it's a jungle here...

ok..

11:58pmMe

if i may say so its better than sherlock holmes

not as explosive and action-y

but its abt human drama in a high-stakes corporae world

11:59pmGan

nice..

11:59pmMe

haha i'll recommend movies anyday man

and good ones too

Today
11:59pmGan
