it's been more than 2 weeks since i last blog. usually if you're caught in the middle of doing something, and want to go back, they tell you to start from the beginning. so, i'm gonna start from what happened most recently. yesterday roger had his farewell party at sentosa. it didn't seem like a very emotional affair or something, bizarre considering this might be the last time some of us ever get to see him, ever again. there was the usual case of alcohol induced humour, alcohol induced strip-sessions, and alcohol induced kenji tan. the last of the three being the most significant. a drunken kenji is the life of any party, i swear. for his own sake i won't delve into details. but the funniest bit would be our interpretation of kenji lying on the grass puking and looking like he was in agony. and then how he prostrated in front of yuhao, roger and myself at one point, and told us to take pictures of him. later he got so wasted he couldn't bear to hear the mention of alcohol at all, at which point yuhao and i began discussing the various ways in which whiskey can be consumed. the next morning kenji was awake, but still felt queasy. so yuhao and i recommended that he drink some milk, and suck on whipped cream till he felt better. haha. but kenji didn't listen to us and ended up eating a chicken pie. bastard. oh crap, forgot, no details...
but it was an emotional affair. the party was the culminating point in all of our relationships with roger. and at least subconsciously all of us probably felt it. i know i did. especially since roger poon and i share something you hardly find between people today. he's a cool fella lah, pai. sigh, and i think i'm gonna miss him. roger poon, you're one heck of a fella.
Yesterday was a million years ago
In all my past lives I played an asshole
Now I found you, it's almost too late
And this earth seems obliviating
We are trembling in our crutches
High and dead our skin is glass
I'm so empty here without
I crack and split my xerox hands
I know it's the last day on earth
We'll be together while the planet dies
I know it's the last day on earth
We'll never say goodbye
The dogs slaughter each other softly
Love burns it's casualties
We are damaged provider modules
Spill the seeds at our children's feet
I'm so empty here without you
I know they want me dead
I know it's the last day on earth
