i forgot i promised to blog about this one.

on the bus ride from hall to harbourfront, i met this man on the bus. he called himself William Choo (or maybe he meant chiu) and WC for short. he was drunk, and he did acknowledge that. not too drunk at all i must say, just a little wobbly when he walked and a little loud when he spoke. but most impt of all, he was still pretty much in control. he wanted to go to harbourfront because he was taking public transport to his home in hougang. when he first motioned at me to go to him and talked to me, i could smell the beer in his breathe but i did not know what it was until a while later when he mentioned he is drunk. it's been a while since i touched beer. but in any case, this man was rather kind, just that he was drunk. he thanked me alot of times for directing him (i was getting off at the same stop anyway, and would been going in the same mrt line, anyway.) and the most perhaps funny thing was that he said if i ever make it big i must remember him. therefore this entry. he was i guess early 40s, or perhaps i underestimate his age. i wondered if he had something heavy on his mind, or did he just drink out of habit. his daughter apparently was not too fond of studying and so he advised me to go as far as i can. "don't work," he said. i thought it wasnt an appropriate time to explain that i am already bonded to the service and i have to work soon before they make me a bankrupt man. i hope he made his way home safely.

about making it big. if i ever do, i ought to remember to come back to this page to see what i wrote, and perhaps find him. but i doubt it ba. my political experience have been upsetting, to say the least. i'd rather stay as an administrative person than cross into the political scene. even in jc and uni, the politics were already a bit too much for me to bear. although there is a small chances of getting caught in it still, while i'm here in nus. but i dun reckon i could do politics for a living... it's too tough for me. i dun even know if i'll be able to talk to parents. ah well, for this one i have already put my name down, and there's no running from those parents for at least 3 years.
