Dinner with Niang

Niang got very big mouth...

At the last minute yesterday, I was suddenly inspired to ask Niang out for dinner. I was half expecting her to ask me to f*** off because she already had an appointment (Niang very vulgar wan!), and then proceed to chide me for being so last minute in arranging my social activities, and then go on and on and on about whatever...

To my surprise, she said ok. And then I realised, it's the first time Niang and I are meeting up, on a one-to-one basis.

I guess it stems from the strange relationship we have. If people didn't know better, they would have thought we were arch enemies, from the way we behaved around each other; always rude, always antagonistic, always violent. (I guess that's why we normally need Cuihong around, to act as referee and mediator, just in case we really hurt each other.) But the truth of the matter is, we really are quite erh, fond of each other (although we can't be around each other for 5 minutes without coming to verbal blows!). I guess it's evident in the way she said "yes" when I asked her out for dinner; she knew Ah Girl in wierd, angsty, bad mood.

Anyway, there we were yesterday, one tall tall and the other short short. It probably made for a really wierd sight, the disparity in height and everything else. Usually we have Cuihong in the middle, to be the Re person in our Doh Re Mee. (Cuihong was absent in person, but definitely present in spirit. Niang and I talked behind her back! Kekekek!)

We went shopping, and we make quite fun shopping partners; just that the people in the shop may not agree. Fortunately, we were the only people in the shop, because we were so noisy and had so many things to say (nice things of course!) about the things in the shop, we would have driven people insane, and really pissed off the shop people. In fact, the girl shop assistant was kind of giving us strange looks already.

Dinner was fun. We ate, a lot, and heartily. And didn't leave any crumbs. I finished up the mango pudding that Niang couldn't finish! (Not like dinner with Cuihong; dinner with Cuihong is always a lot of unfinished food! Very waste food! Think of all the hungry starving children in Ethopia!)

When I reached home, I realised that I was no longer feeling as angsty as before. It's really a wonder, what the company of good friends can do for one soul. Just a simple dinner, with a lot of crap nonsense desultory talk, a lot of vulgarities being spewed (from Niang lah, not me!), with some 'business' discussion of what to do with Wee-Hong; it cleared my cluttered befuddled state of mind, and washed away the angst that I've been accumulating for the past week. It's the magic pill that allows the crap that has built up within one's system to be washed out quickly, much like diarrhoea!

My friends are my catharsis, my inspiration, the reason why I cannot die young, or not what will they do without me?! Haha!

Niang! You read this finish must cry ok! Then 3rd time cry liow!
