The Nepalese legacy

It was an extremely unpleasant surprise to receive an sms from my favourtie Nepalese (i only know 2 anyway, and Nara looks like a bird. HEE) to learn that he will be leaving so soon, so suddenly. When he leaves, there will be one less nice person left in this place.

I guess i never did get to know Basu better until i moved to D block, but his quiet and unassuming yet effective leadership always impressed me. There was never a need for him to raise his voice, nor was it ever necessary to force his ideas on people. I bet he'll make one hell of a shepherd; people just seem to go along and follow what he sets them to. Perhaps that's the whole idea to being a leader; making people WANT to follow your direction. That's one thing i learnt from him. And that there aren't any nepalese Brahmin girl in Singapore. And that it IS possible to eat alot alot and not get fat. And that butter naan is extremely yummy, but goat meat isn't. *yuck*

Basu is always nice to tease, he's always nice to talk to. There's this sense of assurance that what you tell him stays with him, unlike Prabs who apparantly opens up like a horny whore once intoxicated. Sigh. Just as i was telling Panda the other day that it's always nice to meet up with Basu and talk nonsense, because he's so NICE. And niceness is definitely an underrated quality these days- as a definitely UNnice person, i truly admire him for what he is.

But i'm glad my curse worked, only if partially. *wink wink* Cuz it means that i'll get to meet up with the rest for a last dinner with Bazooooooo in a long while. Although he won't be eating. But that just means that we'll all have more time to talk. Too bad that my best wishes did nothing to help him.

I guess it's time to let go of things that have been dead for so long; playing with fire, that's what she said. But sometimes - most times, actually - i want to get burned. It's just that, contrary to popular belief, i'm not enough of a bitch to stand by while loved ones get hurt; am i setting myself up for failure? Or perhaps i'm simply too greedy.

This blog has no pictures!! And why? Because the blogger has no life~! T^T Nevermind i'm still funky funky, even if the only MoS is go to now is MOS burger. Milk tea there rocks my socks la! Although it's just atas teh peng. Hur hur.
