today while i was in compass point running some errands, i witnessed a few malay children eating the mr softee ice-cream. note the key is about the ice-cream and not about the malay children. so anyway, softee ice-cream was the SEX especially when i was in secondary 2.

however, upon watching these children enjoy their ice-cream, i cant help but recall a memory, a sad one...

it was the pre streamings holidays in september. i was studying really hard and while i was taking a break, decided to give myself a treat. i wanted to treat myself to a mr softee! as 7-11 was a short walk, my mum decided it was okay for me to go and buy. but being so special, i decided to try for the first time, ride my bike there. you see, the dumb thing is if i walk i can just cross a road and walk up some steps and i would arrive but with riding a bike, i am unable to do so and thus had to make a HUGE detour like how cars would usually get to that block. but i told myself for the sake of the softee, i had to do it, i just had to enjoy this treat.

so after painstakingly making it there, i bought the softee and i was happy. i could have eaten it there and then but i did not. instead i decided to bring it home and enjoy it in the comforts of my home. perhaps to further show off my ability at cycling, i decided to take a HUGE risk and riding my bike in one hand, i held the precious softee in the other and i made the treacherous journey home. i rode quickly as i did not want that softee to melt, it would diminish its true taste.

when i reached my block, i was elated. i have made it. gleeful and excited i rode on towards the lift. then i braked right in front of the live. due to the suspension of the bike, the braking caused the bike to momentarily be raised. at that moment, i lost control and i watched mouth agape as my softee clamored onto the hard ground. i looked at it and for moments, i was shocked, then i felt tears welling up in my eyes. a passerby witnessed the entire scene and he was chuckling to himself. yes that asshole was chuckling and he told me to throw it away. i was filled with despair and holding back my tears, i bravely took it and threw it away.

when i went home, i could not hold it back anymore, i cried and i cried cause i was really upset. my poor mum who saw me crying so hard, felt very sayang and within the next 15 minutes decided to go and buy one more for me. when she came back, i saw another ice-cream except not softee. words could not describe my disappointment.

and that my friends, is one of the saddest moments of my life thus far
