I Got Sunshine
Rawks!
Had a bloody good time in KL over the weekend.
Never mind I was in anxiety since 5 in the morning, not knowing if I'd actually make it for the trip;
Nevermind that I arrived at the pick-up point super-early;

Nevermind that the traffic jam snaked for at least an hour before we even reached the Tuas Checkpoint;
Nevermind that I was hungry till the bus stopped at Machap, Johore at 12 something and I had a watered-down version of Chicken Chop;
Nevermind that I arrived at the Corus Hotel at 3.30pm;

Nevermind that I was with myself till dinner time and was introduced to the R1 till dinnertime, and took a spin on it;
Nevermind that I was spoilt for choice on what to have for dinner at Suria KLCC where they served a variety of food that would make even the most picky Singaporeans go googu-gaga;

Nevermind that I heard the band from the USN 3rd Fleet churned out some oldies sing-a-longs at the KLCC amphitheatre and I was enjoying it under the stars;
Nevermind that I had 4 spicy floss buns from Breadtalk within 3 hours;
Nevermind that I slept at 3 am with a sore back and a stiff cold;
Nevermind that I jumped out of bed the next day at 7 am to be sure that I had enough breakfast;
Nevermind that I was sitting stoinked under the morning sun instead of dipping in the pool;

Nevermind that I went to Chinatown in the sveltering afternoon heat looking for a cheap bargain;

Nevermind that I did get a bargain;
Nevermind that I returned to the hotel for a shower after getting a NIKE look-a-like;
Nevermind that the Putraline LRT was packed and I had to stand;

Nevermind that I took an hour on foot to get to Bukit Bintang from where my hotel was for dinner;
Nevermind that I was not full from my dinner at Kenny Roger's;

Nevermind that I had 2 sinful double-scoop servings of some soyabean ice-cream that cost close to a bomb a piece;
Nevermind that the cab ride back ot the hotel was only ten minutes from Bukit Bintang;
Nevermind that I had a nice warm bubble bath and explored my thoughts deep;
Nevermind that I slept early that night;
Nevermind that I got up at 9am on Monday and was late for breakfast;
Nevermind that I had my Last Ride after that;
Nevermind that I finally had the Kyros Kebab from KLCC which I was craving for 3 days;
Nevermind that the bus was an hour late on the way to Home;

Nevermind that it wasn't the same bus, so I didn't get my 170 degrees reclining seat;
Nevermind that I was having nausea on some parts of the return trip;
Nevermind the 3 and a half hour long traffic jam at the Singapore Customs
Nevermind that some inconsiderate Singaporeans on board the bus decided to get the drivers' passport confiscated;
Nevermind that I was the mediator between the parties;
Nevermind that I arrived in Singapore at 11.30 pm;
Nevermind that I dragged myself to eat at Al-Ameen;

Nevermind that I paid quite a lot for the cab fare;
Nevermind that I finally got home at 1.30am;
Nevermind that I fell asleep only at 2am thinking of my trip;
Nevermind that I had to get up at 7 am this morning to get my ass to work;
Because I had fun.
I had fun just being there.
I had fun meeting people and new friends.

I had fun just being in the bus sitting next to this girl I hardly once knew.

I had fun making her laugh all the way from Singapore to KL and back.
I had fun seeing her smiles.

I had fun listening to Larry Morales with her.
I had fun sharing my stories with her.
I had fun seeing her laugh no matter how lame or stupid or irritating or vulgar they were.

I had fun making her laugh so hard, she cried.
I had fun shopping with her and putting up with her antics.
I had fun singing My Girl at the top of our voices, even though I don't even know half the words.
I had fun seeing her giggle when I told a bunch of people that I was an Mechenical Engineering student from NYP with a straight face.
I had fun getting lost with her.
I had fun.
I enjoyed every moment of it.
It was something I really needed.
It was something I feel I deserve.
It was a wonderful adventure.
It was something to be remembered by.
It was definitely something to be happy about.
And happy is an understatement.

nakalboi. Another day is done;
