A Year Ago...

Earlier tonight, I was at my cousin's place at Yishun and she was discussing the issue of divorcing her husband. And it made me realise that hell, last year they were so happy. They were a really loving couple during family gatherings. And now, 365 days on, it all goes to hell.

It made me reflect on my own life. This time last year, I had a girlfriend. This time last year, I felt way less troubled.

Since it's June, this time last year I would be fresh from the best overseas trip ever: off to KL with the SJIMV, Faliq, Irwan, Sam, Faizal, Ben and Joses.



I couldn't choose a better bunch of people to go on a holiday with. These are the guys I play soccer with, my best friends. With them, I'm happier, more carefree, more expressive. It's not always a good thing, but being with them makes my day.

We stayed at semi-dingy, 2-star Agora Hotel. Which was fine for us guys. Especially because it was at the heart of Jalan Bukit Bintang. This was me, Joses and Nazir at the lobby.



This was me, Nas and Faliq at the lobby.



That's me walking its non-too-glitzy corridors.



At KL, we did a shitload of guy stuff. Like randomly looking cool.



We ate at Baskin Robbins in a manly manner. Randomly looked around us in a manly manner also.



Breakfasted at KFC. Nazir eats coleslaw, weird dude. Honestly, who the fuck eats coleslaw? Okay moving on.



But the highlight of my trip was not the trip to KL Zouk, or the Ramly burgers or the Baskin Robbins caramel swirls. It was actually just walking around and talking with these guys:





Waking up with them (that sounded gay, but it's not), having breakfast with them, talking with them till late at night.

And that, my friends, makes one of the best memories of my life. And it happened only a year ago.
