I blogged this on Fri night. But for one reason or another, it din appear... So here it is. Hopefully this time it'll be published.
I din want to blog abt this initially… But it’s really bothering me so much that I just have to get it out of me somehow…
X is a friend of mine (or so I thought). As those working in town area would know, there was a super heavy downpour on Fri afternoon. This is the setting for the story I’m going to tell.
I was in TTSH for a lecture and also to meet my pharmacist friend who works there. It was abt 5pm by the time I was done at TTSH and since I had abt 1.5 hours before meeting Bin at Tanjong Pagar MRT station, I decided to take the train down to City Hall and do a bit of window-shopping first. Then when I was walking toward HMV Citilink, X called. X told me “it” (I use “it” so that I can leave out X’s gender.) was “trapped” in Heeren cos of the heavy rain, and “it” asked me if I wanted to go down to look for “it”. Well, I said ok (despite the heavy rain), so stupid me went thru the barrier again to take the North-bound train to Somerset. And this is like barely 5 min after I just alighted from a South-bound one to City Hall. How smart I am! =P NEVER MIND.
When I reached Somerset, it was really raining VERY heavily. I braved the rain and my whole back was drenched even though I used my brolly. Then when I was at the traffic junction, this idiotic car sped past me and sent dirty water flying at my legs!! As a result, my shoes and the bottom part of the pants were wet. All in all, I think 50% of me was already wet by the time I managed to cross the road leading to Heeren. NEVER MIND.
When I finally reached there, there was X, standing at the entrance. I was hoping that “it” could at least offer to help me take a plastic bag from the rack to contain my wet umbrella, but “it” din! “It” just stood there and waited for me to finish stuffing the brolly into the bloody tight plastic bag. NEVER MIND.
Apparently, “it” has been there since 2+/3pm and “it” was actually meeting a friend for dinner and movie at 7pm in the vicinity later. “It” wanted to go somewhere else but couldn’t cos of the rain. Anyway, I was alright with that since I had to meet Bin at ard the same time anyway. So we just went walking around within Heeren’s premises. Since “it” had been there the whole afternoon, we literally just walked past the various shops. I dun think I even entered more than 5 shops. Whatever it is, “it” seemed pretty bored and disinterested and tired while we were walking. Not sure whether it was cos “it” slept late the night before or what. But what saddens me was my company there seems to be redundant. And “it” was msging on “its” hp pretty frequently while we were walking. I felt like “its” shadow, tagging along behind him silently. NEVER MIND.
So this went on till abt 5.45pm when “its” friend finally arrived. They agreed to meet at Somerset station and since I’ve to take a train down to Tanjong Pagar, we walked to the station together. By this time, the rain has pretty much subsided. Then the most annoying thing happened.
When we were walking in the subterranean path leading to the station, “it” saw “its” friend and all of a sudden (without warning), “it” muttered a soft “bye” and turned and walked away with “its” friend. I was so taken aback that I din even have time to react and say bye to “it”. By the time I wanted to, they were already up on the escalator.
My goodness!! What is this??!! What are you taking me for? Am I someone that you look for only when you’re trapped somewhere and have no else to approach? Am I someone so dispensable that once your “real friend” comes, you can just “throw” me aside and join your “friend”? I’m not demanding a full 100% attention, but I think I do deserve the minimum amount of respect lor. I feel so hurt that “it” din even bother to thank me for specially coming down and keeping “it” company for the past 45 min or so (not that I'm dying for "it" to say so). I’m just being nice cos I dun want my friend to feel lonely. But WHY?? Why do you have to treat me this way? Why me? What have I done wrong to deserve this? Argh!!! 我的心真的受伤了...
