A day of reunion

So i woke up early morning on Saturday, getting all dressed up - well, not so dressed up...coz i decided that i would merely put on a polo-T and jeans and i was good to go...As it happened, i was bombarded with questions and awkward stares from my buddies when i met them at pyramid for a day of reunion...as EXPECTED...

In fact, i wouldnt blame them for being so surprised, ive never, NEVER, once wore a polo T when i hangout with 'em during the five varsity years...it simply caught them off guard to see me toning down my attire...where's the flamboyant Marcus? where's the funky T-shirts with funky words, or the vintage inspired with paints all over, or the one with tears and bleached like it was done accidentally?

Honestly, since i started working, i thought it was time to grow up, no more getting dressed up in a teenager-inclined-attire and imply to the whole world that i have nothing better to do than to loiter on the street or to get drunk in a bar...Yeah, it's about time to change the whole image to one who is seemingly established and to look sorta manly, kinda macho-man wannabe...I just wouldnt take it if people start telling me that i have a malfunction wardrobe, or a poor sense of taste, which is so contrary to my nature...

The transition should take place gradually, while i would still continue shopping at Topshop, Esprit, and Guess, i would venture into Zara, Raoul, Philosophy and the like...for a more sophisticated look, assumingly...Well, one good thing about my attire that day, Chloe later pointed out, is that she likes the DKNY sneaker i was wearing...well, not too bad afterall, a word of complinent is all i needed...Note to self: No more polos when i hangout with this gang again...

We had a fine time at redbox, well, at least i had, since i havent sung in Karaoke for like two weeks already...haha, that seemed like a long time really, for i like learning new songs there...We adjourned to Starbucks later for some catching up...apparently everyone is doing so well with their jobs, describing every details and every corner of what they are currently involved in, the projects, the gossips, the politics and all...

I always felt like an outcast whenever im with them, coz im the only fella doing non-engineering related work...well, likewise for Serious, but he's gonna be a politician one of these days, that sounds like something, rite? it's sad to tell them my plan to go backpacking, coz they would nv encourage me...advising me to go later when i had my career all stable and going somewhere...i jz couldnt wait...deep inside me, i know that when i come back from my trip, no one would consider hiring me, not after a year or two not working, but instead walking on some other part of the world...the knowledge would be gone, and my skills worthless...if that happens, i figure...i would just go and study MBA and see if i'll be going somewhere...

We played a game of bowling next, before tucking into Sushi and Sushi King...the highlight of the day was when i bought myself some Shifts and a sweater from Esprit...I jz love to shop, dun i? Of coz, to see the others again after so many months is heart-warming...at one point, i was even considering working in Penang to be with them...They have all offered to send my resume to their superiors...but then again, the timing is not right...i cant commit myself to any jobs right now...i needa go somewhere FIRST...

i hope my adamant attitude wont backfire and come back to haunt me forever...i know my parents wont mind, they will support me for whatever decisions i make...life is short, and i always tell people that i adopt the philosophy from Nike...

Just Do It...

i simply luv it...
