It takes a Fool to do Brave Things...This morning, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I got an sms from Sabariah, which she replied to my message about 11 hours ago last night. I was pretty fed up 'cause most of the sms i sent gets replied late. So, I thought bout some stuffs and there I was, being depressed bout my life; which I won't write bout it more here. Thinking about all those negative things has actually made me cry; I still don't know why. Due to that, I went into a depressed state.
However, later, my Mum brought me to White Sands to eat Prata at Banquet Signature for Breakfast; or more like Brunch. We spend some time talking bout this and that and it really reduces my Depression Level. We went to the Library to read some stuffs. And as usual, I'll go to the Catalogue Station and type in the name Neil Gaiman (my favourite author) to see if any of his books are Not On Loan in the Pasir Ris Library. And I saw the usual results, having most of them being On Loan. Until something caught my eye; Stardust book is Not On Loan!!! I quickly walked quickly (or I think I ran) to the Fiction Section, at the GAI shelf and
Voila...The Stardust Book is directly in front of me!!! I quickly grabbed it, took it away to a Sofa, sat on it and began to read the pages of the book I've longed and searched for. Finally, I've found the book...
As I read the book, I saw Sabariah walking past me, but she didn't see me at all when I was directly in front of her!!! And so, I keep tracking her to where she was heading. And finally, she saw me and stared in wonder, thinking if I am Zul. She then came up to me and asked "Zul eh?" I pretend I didn't know her at all, saying "Ermm, sorry but you've got the wrong person." And she actually bought it, and left saying "Oh, sorry." As she walked away, she kept glancing at me to confirm whether I am Zul or not. (S'poreans will say Paiseh) However, I smiled and giggled at that time and she quickly pushed me and poking me 'cause I lied to her. I actually looked real being someone else. Haha...That was funny.
And then, she invited me to hang out with her and Rasyidah to Bugis or other places. Of course, as indecisive as I always am, I kept thinking for a long time as to whether I wanna join them or not. In the end, I went with them. Of course, before that, I borrowed the Stardust book.
We went to Century Square to eat at Food Culture. There, I saw my Cousin-in-law's Sister-in-law working as the cashier. Of course, I asked if she remembers me or not, and after some talking here and there, I went to sit with Sab & Rasy. Sab ate Cheese Fries, Rasy bought Chicken Chop while I bought Fish & Chips but Rasy and I switched food 'cause she doesn't like the Chicken. And again, I became Emo again. Later, we saw Hazelin and asked her to join us. She ate Fish Ball Noodles (I guess) and we chat bout stuffs for awhile.
After eating, Hazelin went back home while the rest of us went to Bugis as Rasy wanna get her paycheck from the Cafe she worked. As we walked out from the MRT Station, we saw the Floor Fountain outside Bugis Junction. My Heart was like asking me to walk into it and get wet but my Heart pounded like MAD as I was scared to walk into it in front of all those people walking pass the area. So, my Mind then moved my legs away from the Floor Fountain and we went on to go to the Cafe Rasy worked at.
After Rasy took her paycheck, we went back to Bugis Junction to get to Bugis Street. Right there again, my Heart pounded like Hell now. Then, Adrenaline Rush. My blood were literally cold and hot at the same time. It's that nervous feeling when you're about to do something either Stupid or Brave or Both. And at that moment, I quickly gave my handphone to Sab and her sling bag. I wanted to get it over with, so I quickly walked towards the fountain. I stood in the middle of it, not realising that a hose was directly beneath me, in between my legs. It quickly shoots up a jet of water right below me and BAMM, hits me on the crotch. However, I was having so much fun getting wet that I don't remember feeling any pain due to that. I was completely drenched and everyone around were laughing at me wondering why the Heck was a teenage guy playing in the fountain. As I got away from the fountain, I found out that a tourist was filming a scene of the fountain with some children but eventually caught me in the film. Haha...I guess he caught the whole time I was in the fountain. Who knows? I might appear on America's Funniest Home Videos.
We went for a walk but I was still drenched. So, I stood at the sunlight as much as I can and flap my shirt to dry my clothes abit. I was actually proud to do what I did that day. I told my friends "It takes a Fool to do Brave Things..." Thus, the Brave ones are those that are foolish to do things that are crazy. I am really really proud. However, doing that getting-wet-at-a-fountain thing does comes with a price. I was freezing to death on the way home on the Bus, as Air-conditioned bus and a wet kid creates a chilly and frigid shivering young man. My teeth were literally shaking. But it was worth it I guess...
