.

last night, around 2240hrs, i was in a cab on my way to the airport to send L. off.


"so you go airport for what? picking up friend, ah?"

"no lah, sending friend off, lah."

"oh.. who? gerfren, ah?" (cabbies are so cheeky nowsadays ah...?)

"haha. no, lah. its a good fren. if is gerfren i send her there myself liao."

"oooh i see..."

then there was a strange break in the conversation. not long enough to start another topic, but short enough to maybe expect it. like a half step, or the upbeat in a tune...

"but this kind... if not someone special... you oso wun just anyhow go, right?"

then there was another break, as i turned to look out the window into the ECP.

"yah. true."


some friends come and go. but others refuse to leave.
i hate you L.
come back soon.
