{ Hello Casper }

So I was wif my buddy, let’s call him Casper. As northies, we were ofc hanging out in our “turf”. Dis time at Woodlands, after a short trip to Causeway Point.

As we’re going up the escalator, Casper here is just weirdly leaning against me, and I’m like bro, gimme some room. I’m one for brotherly love, but das just a tad bit too close, ye?

Despite my hints, Casper here refused to budge. Playing games now, I see… 😤

So I put my arm around him and clamped as hard as I cld. Like, maximum overdrive power:

All those years of going to the gym, for dis one mighty tight squeeze, and to show him who’s boss 😼

…But something wasn’t right. My attack wasn’t working. As hard as I flexed my arms, the squeeze didn’t feel tight at all. It’s as though my mind and body weren’t working as a unit. In fact, Casper here didn’t even feel or acknowledge any pain. He was just smiling. 

Pretty humbling I must say, getting ur strongest physical effort just cutely dismissed dat way. Either I needed to go to the gym more, or something weird was going on.

.

We reached the MRT platform, and the first thing I saw was the purple sky. Ah ofc, dat time of the day, eh? When it’s almost 7pm, and our surrounding view becomes a museum painting for a lil bit, right b4 the sun sets. 

I’mma be real and say the view of our skies in dis country is a bit underrated. It’s like, one of the few things dats rlly cool resulting from our weather (if u just ignore the heat and humidity dat follows the beautiful skies 🫠).

So yea, dats a nice golden sky above me…… wait wat…

Before I cld address the abrupt colour change above me, Teddy (rmb him?, lol) appeared out of nowhere. I’m like ayo, wat da hell r u doing here? Hang on, were u here dis whole time? Why can’t I remember…?

Well, Mr Teddy here didn’t say anything either. So dat just made it feel even more like there was a hidden camera somewhere, waiting to catch the perfect shot of my confused af face.

.

.

But at that moment, with Teddy and Casper by my side, everything suddenly felt sort of… peaceful. Things just felt right, and I didn’t feel the need for words anymore. It’s like I somehow understood what was going on, despite how bizarre everything was. Three friends enjoying the view together, in a place that holds so many memories for us. Enough to make any one of us a little emotional…. though we’d probably not admit it…

.

At dis point it was time to depart. Which made sense, I mean we were at the MRT after all. Dis is usually where we part ways.

But all of a sudden, as if everything wasn’t surreal enough, Casper here started glowing. Not sparkling like the vampires in Twilight. I mean literally turning shining gold like:

Still with no words being spoken, his body turned into a beam of light, and he started fading. Slowly disintegrating, and blending in with the yellow sky.

.

Ngl, I tot dat was an unnecessarily dramatic way to leave, lol. Just abit too much 🤏. But I was still definitely amused. Wonder wat he’ll come up wif next time… 🤔

I stood quietly with Mr Teddy here, while staring into space, with complex feelings. Thankfully, since it’s been almost 5 years now, those feelings have turned more positive. While the scars will probably remain forever, we can now look ahead with optimism for the next time he comes to visit.

We know that his mischievous ass is still here in spirit to bother us. Even if he can only do so in our dreams, once every few months/years.

But I’m still grateful for that. In a way, it’s as though he never left. Just became a bit more busy, and oso alot more artistic now, hehe…
