Surprisingly she wasn't late, as i expected her to be, and as she always had been... Ate nasi lemak from the "katong laksa" stall at the subway outlet beisde. Strange ah, cos she wanted to eat subway and cos the katong laksa stall was too crowded for comfort, so i da baoed and went over and ate with her. Ok, u must be wondering wad has our lunch gotta do with dear Mr 霍. Here is where he comes in. We ate lunch in holland v cos we believed (wrongly) that there is actually a video ezy outlet on holland v, and it was there that I can get my dvd for fearless a.k.a 霍元甲. She kept insisting and apparently claimed tt song en told her that. Obviously that outlet doesn't appear in reality. Had to walk into an electronics store flooded with indians to ask the owner where the outlet is. How pai seh can that be. And the smell is really overpowering. I had to breathe in deep, walk into the store while holding my breath, and use part of it to ask the uncle where on earth is the vcd rental store. Worse still, I had to wait for him to go on and on and give me directions to where he thinks it is. After saying "thank you" with wadever remaining breath I had, it was a mad dash for the exit. Wow, some fresh air at last, but nope, smelled something worse. Oh, cos hz was there... Haha.
K. Apparently there was this video rental store at blk 41 in holland drive, which was some distance from where we were, in holland v. So hz said she finally decided to give me a treat since I am so nice to her and stuff and cos I sacrificed my mugging to pei her eat lunch. It was then off to essential brew. Oh, how cheated i felt when we reached there. She pulled out an essentual brew voucher from her purse. It was the $5 voucher that we got from the XQRJ shit, which I had lost long ago. Nevetheless, me being the nice person that I am, still went in and ate a oreo cheesecake. Not bad la, but was pretty ex. $6 for a miserable piece, and to think that my lunch cost only $2.50... In the end decided to pay for it la, after using her voucher. Since she kept saying that she had only $100 for her tuition monthly and I had already been earning. Wan her to treat me I also pai seh. I mean if it is for special occasions then ok la, but where got guys wu yuan wu gu let the girls pay for them one, esp when the guy is earning much more than her. Very diu lian, and vv bo seh leh. But this is not the highlight.
We then went off to blk 41. Given the setting, I hv the bad feeling that the shop that the uncle recommended would be the kind that is super run down, desolate and over-grown with cobwebs and stuff. The shop-tender is old, lecherous towards girls and rude to us guys, esp to the handsome ones... The cover to the vcd holder would cruble the moment u open it, and presto! That was exactly how the shop is. Lying at one god-forsaken corner, and the man inside is, well, not exactly old, but nevertheless leacherous. Haha. Joking. But there is something wrong with this hz I think. Almost everytime that I went out with her, she would keep saying that there are guys staring/smiling/looking/ogling etc at her. Not that I dun believe her, but hello, sure not... Everytime meh? Are we, Singaporean guys, really that 糟糕? Looking at girls all over the place meh? Maybe cos she is too paronoid, or maybe she is really too pretty le. That is why got all those unnecessary attention. Those guys must be hating me. Haha.
In the end we had to go all the way to clementi central to source for that dvd. There is one video ezy outlet there which is, well, much smaller than I expected la. It wasnt even the size of one full store, just half of it. Half of those kind of neighbourhood barber kind of size. Even before I went in I felt all my hopes dashed, haha. But give face la, just walk in. Who knows wad I would find? And guess wad I found? ... ... ... ... ... ... Err, cannot put wad I found la, in case my blog gets read by someone and I get a lawsuit. And I get sent to jail and caned and sodomised in my cell that I share with 20 other gays/faggots... However, wad I found didnt really help in boosting my confidence of finding the dvd. We ask the tender and she said that all video ezy outlets did not get the dvd version of fearles. They only got the vcd version. There was this vcd of fearless that was once used for rental and now they wanted to sell it, at $4.90. Dirt cheap la!! But no, I held on to my belief that other than the full-length version of the DVD, I would not compromise and get anything else.
So in the end, from Orchard to Suntec yesterday, to Holland V and Clementi today, I still did not manage to get what I wanted. The closest I got was the DVD at suntec, but it was teh movie version, not the full-length version. (movie was cut by a good 20 minutes I think) And the thing still hangs at the back of my mind, not settled, not statisfied. And bad thing about me is, when I get such stuff at the back of my head, I cannot mug!! I will just keep thinking and thinking and thinking about it, and lose my focus, and I think this is very undesirable, especially at this period of time when our dear professors decide to suck our brain dry with killer exam papers. I have decided. I shall try to borrow Lynn;s bike and try out the outlet at anchorpoint. Better luck tomorrow. The show better be worth it...
