I went back to my hometown this weekend for some prayers.
Right after prayers, I called up my bestie whom I have known since my second job.
I got to know her (yes, she is that "L" word) like more than a decade ago and ever since we came out to each other at work, we became close friends....
We used to do stuff like chatting by the beach/water dam, drove around the city at night, hang out at the night market and etc...
Even tho she is not really a "nature person" and I'm not really a "city person", we manage to compromise and hang out with each other pretty well.....
We have been around for each other thru our break-ups, new found love, helping each other to impress our new targets and such...
So, I missed her a lot ever since I moved down to KL.....
I have been wanting to watch "Deadpool" since Chinese New Year but I could not really firmed up any plans till now.
Like always, I called her up...
Me: Hey you....are you free?
Bestie : Yes....wanna do lunch?
Me: Not good, need to have lunch with my parents.... u want dinner or after dinner?
Bestie : fine with either... we can go after dinner if you need to have dinner with parents....
Me : Then after dinner would be better. Btw, have you watched Deadpool?
Bestie : No....I haven't. Heard that it's kinda funny and badass....
Me : *checking GSC and TGV app.....* Hey.... let's go catch a movie around 4pm and then we have dinner together....
Bestie : Sure...I'll go get ready
Me : Ok....pick u up at 3 then.... see u
Yupp, that's our usual que....on the spot plan and go....minimal planning and spontaneous excitement... haha.
Guess that is why at times we ended up doing nothing but sitting by the road side, admiring the traffic while she light a ciggy...
It's never bothered us on we are doing, it's more of spending some time together....
For instance, I know she's not a big fan of horror movie (unlike me) but she would just go for it coz I liked it....
I'm not a big fan of seafood, watches, pendant and stuff but I would spend the whole evening, hopping from 1 shop to the other with her.... I missed those times.....
Deadpool was funny as hell....
Ryan Reynold really pulled this character thru very well....cheeky, funny and...yes....badass
It's not like the typical super hero movies where, villians cause chaos, superhero fight the bad guys and save the day...
As for Deadpool.... he's a "superhero" in his own funny way.... haha
We enjoyed the dirty jokes, sarcasm and all his cheeky stunt throught out the whole movie.....
After movie, we had sandwich and pizza for dinner and we had a long chat about work and personal life....

PS: Again, both awesome photos are not my credit to claim as I took them from Google search... It was too dark to get a nice photo when we were there....
After dinner, we drove to Weld Quay to check out Chew Jetty.
This is my second time here (my first time was during CNY, had intention to blog abt it but it is still saved as a draft copy. Crap....I really need to dicipline myself to finish off my Draft copy) and both of us enjoyed the view as we walked further into the...erm... "village/resident-ish" perhaps....can't think of a word for it but basically it's a straight path surrounded by houses built on top of the sea.
View-wise : checked.... nice and it brings back memories of how my grandma's home used to look like....those olden design and structure...
Smell-wise : ugh..... those sea and fishy smell may not be the best smell ever.... meh

PS: None of the photos above....again, sadly not my own masterpiece. It is taken from Google search... ya ya ya, I know... I'll snap my own photo next time..... :P
After Chew Jetty, we walked further along Weld Quay to Lee Jetty and we bought 2 of our childhood ice lollies.
It is nothing but frozen flavoured syrup in a plastic tube. Those were the days when simple things like this would gave us so much joy. Unlike the kids now, pampered with multiple choices of ice cream, frozen yogurt, milkshakes with all sorts of toppings but yet they are complaining about lack of choices.... be grateful, you Gen-Z spoilt brats !!
AT Lee Jetty, one of the highlights that I like is the wooden walk-way that is setup out into the sea.
It's pretty windy and chilly as you stand on the plank and enjoyed the nicely light-up view of the "floating temple".
Both of us stood there for some time, talking about the memories we shared in our previous company.
Last night was mainly a "walk down memory lane" kinda get together where we talked about things that happened 13 or 14 years ago such as funny gossips about our bosses, office politics and "interesting" customers that we met along the way.
It was indeed a good night catching up those good old day again....
I'm gonna miss this when I'm back in KL, when I'm back to do my crappy work for my useless boss on Monday....
Well, one of my 2016 resolution is to shop whining about my work and snap out of it.....so I'm going to make sure I do that...
Good night people and good night 5-March-2016....
