every second dripping off my fingertips: The Start of Something New

Friday, April 18, 2008

It really is indeed. Today was probably the most eventful day of the week.

Let me begin with the end. The end of school that is.

Ok so here's how it went. Abhi, JY, Ariel and Anton were going to play pool at Paradiz. Abhi asked me if I wanted to come. Being the usual moron that I am (because I waste so much time), I said ok.

So we went. (Of course this is the point where people think "hey they don't have a change of clothes so how can they go in?" but obviously it took us a little longer.) The ride in the car on the way there was one of the most interesting car rides I have had in a long time. We turned on our "gather-around-the-campfire-and-tell-embarrassing-stories/anecdotes-of-ourselves" mode on. Unfortunately for us (by us I mean JY and Abhi), JY and Ahbi were the only ones telling us the weird and 'messed up' stories. Boy oh boy were they messed up.

Then we reached Paradiz, got out of Ariel's driver's car, and went inside, looking for a place to play pool. We then realised "hey we don't have a change of clothes". Of course the law states that NO ONE in school uniform is allowed inside. Fair enough. Then we realised that Anton lived near school and we could have borrowed his clothes. How convenient. And so we bummed around more, nearly went to watch a movie, and then we settled down to eat at McDonalds. Here where the interesting galavanting part of the day begins.

So Ariel had the usual magic tricks up his sleeve. You must realise that this ability of his has increased his laid factor 2 fold. And so with brilliant minds like ourselves, we decided that he should show it to some of the strangers in Macs. If he got lucky, he could also get some girl's number. Brilliant eh? Well Ariel, was... Well... Shy... I mean, c'mon, don't blame him. It was weird. Of course people like Abhi wouldn't mind because of our thick skin. Haha...

And so to persuade Ariel to actually do it, Ahbi decided to do it with him. They approached 2 girls at a table, and showed them the goods. Alright maybe only Ariel did. Abhi sorta became his accomplice but the main attraction was still Ariel. I have to say, the dynamic duo did pull it off.

They went round Plaza Sing, on a roll, 'performing' for countless number of girls. I mean... People. I guess the best part was seeing the reaction on their faces, after being showed a great trick/sleight of hand. Sure, they had the occasional difficult audience but it was definitely a great experience for Ariel, to mature as a street magician. You've finally come out of your box Ariel. Well done.
