i think the 3 of us were super lazy to travel, so we met at bp plaza to have lunch. tried the newly (maybe not so new alr) opened hk restaurant. the food was ok, as in, its not fabulous but nothing to complain of too. the only thing is the drinks, the real thing and the pic in the menu was significantly different. hc ordered a white based with some choco colored drink according the menu, but the served drink is almost all choco colored... we stayed there and chatted for like 4/5hrs bah, so i had 2 drinks, both diff from the menu but still tasted reasonable lah.
we were talking abt things like depression, gay tv artists, children (not that we have any, haha...), etc.
anyway, we were talking abt the recent star awards and discussing some of the suspected gay's speech and the hidden meanings. i supposed my gay detector radar was super weak, coz of all the mentioned artists, i only suspected a few. some are a bit sissy but i never thought of them as homos. and in uni, it never crossed my mind that any1 is a gay until somebody told me that these ppl are gay. i was like... huh? so he was not merely sissy but also gay?
then on the subject of depression, for me i never believed that there was such a mental condition b4. i think that if you're feeling down, juz forget that whole thing and move on. my cousin is also seeing a psychiatrist bcoz of depression, but i think her condition was much more milder than yr's fren. one statement yr's fren said struck me quite hard actually, when she was abt to commit suicide, yr asked her to think of her mother. the fren said, 'i cant even care for myself now, how can i spare any thoughts for some1 else?' den it occurred to me that some ppl juz arent rational enough to keep emotions from clouding their judgments. on second thoughts, why should any1 who is serious abt committing suicide call another person? i mean, if i'm serious abt killing myself off and wanting to say goodbyes, i'd call them at least a day b4 to avoid being persuaded/rescued. so i guess yr's mum was kinda right in telling yr to ignore that fren.
then somehow the subject changed to children, and how troublesome they are. walking ard with a 3kg weight for 9mths; den changing diapers/feeding milk for another yr (my guess lah, i not sure the exactly duration of coz); den running ard to feed porridge; den study with them to at least sec level; den worry abt their upbring... not to mention the $$$. though i'm not saying that i'm not gg to have a child or anything to that effect, it still does put some damper on that thought.
all in all, its more of a serious talk session than a relaxing lunch gathering. but its nice too, of coz to meet with old frenz. its scary, but we've known each other for abt 10 yrs le, although we only got closer only when we're in sec3/4. time doesn't fly, it speeds by.
