My Buddy and Me

Me: "You are a jinx man!"
Mr Buddy: "Me?! You are the jinx lah."
Me: "How is it possible that we can go to Suntec, Millenia Walk and then Marina Square and not find even one perfume shop? Its your fault!" (we have been walking for like 2 hours)
Mr Buddy: "You are the one who brings me bad luck."
Me: "You are the one. Go out with you very sua(unlucky) lei."
Mr Buddy: "Ah na... I am very tired I want to sit down."
Me: "You are pretty weak."
Mr Buddy: "..........." -_-"
We finally found what we wanted at Raffles Shopping Centre. At that time the salesman told me buying the 125ml Polo Black Cologne entitles me to a free Ralph Lauren travel bag. Mr Buddy somehow hint to me that he needs the bag cos he was going to Hong Kong. Of course I give it to him being the generous person I am. Haha. Going to shop with him for men clothes is pretty fun cos he is into shopping(I know its a bit gay for guys). Thus he gives good opinions and knows something about clothes.

Mr Buddy has a glaring shortcoming. He is always late. There was a time I waited for him like almost half an hour or more. I called him,
Me: "Eh... Where are you?"
Mr Buddy: "I am still at home." (at this moment I wanted to whoop him)
Me: "Eh... You need so much time to apply your make-up?"
Mr Buddy: "Hahaha... Something crop up at home."
Me: "Ya right... How come you got so many things happen at home one?"
Mr Buddy: "Really...." (thats what he always says)
And then one day I thought I was finally later than him, that makes me happy but I was mistaken. He sms me,
Mr Buddy: Where are you? (I thought this is an indication that I was late)
Me: I am still in the train.
When I reach Jurong East MRT station, I look around and I cant find him, so I called him.
Me: "Eh.. Where are you ah? I thought I am late."
Mr Buddy: "I am still in the bus. Haha."

In army, during our course, Mr Buddy sprained his foot and miss only 1 military exercise. But he was asked to go for RT(remedial training). It was pretty unfair to him cos there were others who missed more but were not ask to go for RT. He had a good attitude towards trainings and was helpful to his coursemates. And then our course commander asked who wanted to join them, I volunteered. I dont really know why I volunteered. Probably on impulse, or maybe his attitude of helping others influence me. He told me he was grateful that I volunteered that time, so he shouldn't be late when we meet! Haha. And then I will always use this against him.
Me: "Remembered who volunteered to go RT with you? Who sacrifice his leaves and go through all the shit with YOU? Who? Tell me who?" (with a sly smile)
Mr Buddy: "Ah na.... You lah. Dont always use this. It doesnt worked."

We do guard duties together often. We would often choose prowling though tiring, we would at least have company. For us it was like a night walk cos we would chat and walk at the same time. I still remember the scenario where we stop to rest at the chinese cook house stairs leading to the running tracks. We sat there, everywhere was dark with only the stars and the faraway lamp posts as our lights. We talk about our dreams, hopes and fears. We both are quite crappy but then we are only humans, we all have our problems.

Mr Buddy is going overseas so I asked him to help me check out some colognes when he is there or at DFS. I sms him,
Me: Can me help buy things when you are there?
Mr Buddy: Porn? Sex toys?
Me: No. I want you to help me buy colognes there or at DFS.
Mr Buddy: You dont intend to bath?
Me: Ya. Save water what.
Mr Buddy: Dumbass. Cologne is also made of water.
Me: But not as much. Stupid.
Thats how we talk to each other. -_-"

Tomorrow at 6am plus Mr Buddy is flying off to Hong Kong for a week's holiday. He will be working until 2am and be going to the airport straight. I wish him a safe trip and have fun.

By the way Buddy, if you forgot about my colognes, I am going to whoop your ass....
