I went over to Tharik's house just now around 9pm. I had many stories to tell. We spent the next two hours, him standing at his front gate, me standing against my bike, talking about things. I let him see (and touch) the results of my training. He said,"You look smaller than Henry... but I can see that your arms are much more firm."
This is the window that i look out of everytime in Whampoa.
Henry and I used to have broad shoulders and only a CM of difference in height. Then I started to carry heavy things in school and I got shorter and smaller. Zzz.
There seems to be some sort of air unfavourable towards me too. Tharik was kind enough to tell me about it and what was wrong so I have it in check. At the same time i told stories about my adventures in the film industry.
Luck seems to still love being with me. Today I was offered an Assistant Director role in Mediacorp by none other than Uncle Jimmy's brother, who has a position there. He told me to follow him this monday together with the director who did the Street Fight shoot I went to the last time. I havent accepted the offer yet, seeing how I still want to be under Uncle Jimmy.
After the painful post, "One Hand, Five Fingers", I got to calling some old friends again. The next day i met up with Don and Daryl and we had a blast together. I cannot live without Don's charisma, and I cannot live without Daryl.
LOLLOL
At the same time i got a hold of Viky. He's been complaining about everything under the sun and rightfully so once you know his backstory. I once lent him my laptop for six over months (or was it a year) so that he could do his school work. When I had to take it back (mom's orders) I was thanked by the whole family for lending him my laptop.
During secondary school he was playing some wrestling with his cousin and he was at the end of some move... i forgot the name.. i think it was an inverted shoulder carry move and suddenly his back got into much pain. I remember the period of time after that
where he simply couldnt run or carry anything anymore. He couldnt play soccer, which then affected all of us in the end... cause you know... at that time all of us cant meet deadlines and keep to plans.
He spent so much money to find some sort of treatment for his back. X ray showed that a tissue was pressing against his vein in the spine which was causing the pain. Therapy, he couldnt afford. He went for indian massages... 45 dollars per day... every day.. then once a week... then once a month... then never. He went to the temple and they said he was being followed by an angry spirit.
I have to admit that because of this problem he limited himself - not excercising, not going out to mix around. I also have to admit that some of us simply forgot about him and never called anymore. I'm not even close to him but I still call the whole bloody world just to get to him.
I was talking to Uncle Jimmy about things when suddenly i asked,"How do you maintain a friendship that long? 30 years?"
"Call.. ask how are you.. have coffee... simple."
"I only wish my friends had that kind of character."
Then I went on to do some work while he left the office for about three hours. I had the office to myself.
How can i get bored?
I've seen Uncle Jimmy treat some patients before in his office in Whampoa. They come, he does this this that that. Then after everything the person goes out happy.
So i thought i should call Viky... I only wanted Uncle Jimmy to see if his back problem is really bad.
