my pesky big bro

Had a nice nice chat with MJ just now...been really long since I last spoke to him..
And I know I can always count on him for sound advice and a listening ear...
Haha..this pesky big bro of mine...

So near, yet so far..living just a few blocks from each other..yet seldom meet...
Think I will drag him out sometime in the next 2 weeks...

Shared alot with me...gave me some pointers...gave me some directions..
Gave me frank, blunt and sometimes cutting remarks..but in a way, he's just trying to make sure that I take care of myself..
And that I have a clearer sense of things and situations..
Guess he's also trying to show me the reality of things which might happen or which could happen...Spoke of his experiences as well...to draw some parallels...

And he just always seems to be able to pick up right on what I'm trying to convey...
Appreciate his being there...

Haha...talked about how he almost went after me in 97/98...after the TP incident..
But didn't in the end cos there was too much at stake..just as well..cos I can't visualise us together at all..haha...

Hearing him speak so strongly and world-wisely made it hard to imagine that this was the same guy...the same emotional guy...
Who once rang me at 230am in the morn, dragged me out of bed...
And made me sneak out of my house to meet him at my void deck in the middle of the night.
And then dropped his head on my lap when we were seated at a stone table...
And started bawling his eyes out for 2 hours.

haa..memories...
