Once upon a time on winter 2005, someone just buzzed my Y!M
+ Hi.. how are you doin mate? Sorry I was on the tram when you rang me.
- not too bad, thanks. That’s fine mate, just wanna say hello.
+ I haven’t seen your for ages
Where have you been?
-
well… I’ve been no where, still in this planet ![]()
+
C’mon mate…. whats up?
- Well… a lot of things happened, can’t tell you here
+ That’s fine if you don’t wanna tell me. But I’d be glad if you wanna share …
- Thanks. Perhap, I can tell you my story and drink cup of coffee
+ Good idea. I’ve a favorite place in St Kilda Rd, it is Pristkars Cafe. It is a cafe in Park View Hotel, in St Kilda Rd. What do you think?
- Great. Deal.
+ Ok, I’ll wait you there at 7pm. Just take any tram that goes to St Kilda Rd. Ok ![]()
- Ok
It was 6pm. I went to the tram stop, just few hundreds meters from my flat at Inkerman Rd. Oh man, I should had got ready half an hour earlier as it was Sunday so only few trams operated. I took the tram no 16 heading to Melbourne Uni. But then, just one stop before St Kilda Beach, the driver said “This is the last stop!” WTF. It was already 7pm. Damn. I grabbed my mobile and type a short message “Sorry I took the wrong tram, the next tram will be 8pm!!”
At Pristkars Cafe, from the outside, I saw her sitting alone. There was a candle on her table.
- Sorry…. I took the wrong tram
+ That’s fine *** smile *** what do you want order?
- Ehmmm … very vanilla latte and you?
- I’ve just finished my hot chocolate, but I will order one more and let’s order samosa hmm vegetable samosa, you like it?
+ yup
- So … how are you doing?
+ Hmm not too bad… he he that means it’s bad enough already ha ha ha
+ Ok I’ll tell you …

- C’mon man… I know this is really hard problem. But you should not give up. You should continue your study. It’s a big opportunity for you or might be for your life.
- C’mon … I am pretty sure you can make it. You have to talk to some one. You need some friends. Don’t just stay at your room for the whole day and not having proper meals. Those won’t help you.
+ Hmmm… It’s easy to say
- I know it is more easier to say… but you have to try. You still have time. Ok.

Then we chatted till 11pm. She took another tram and I still had to wait for almost an hour.
An Aussie girl came and walked toward the tram stop where I stood, I was freezing. She asked a cigarete, I gave her one. Then shockingly “You are alone huh… don’t you need a girl?” Then I replied “I don’t need those f**in girls!! I love being f**** lonely like this”. “C’mon man … don’t b kiddin, you’re just like an idiot without a girl”. She came closer to me then said “C’mon man. Let’s do this. You’ve given me a cigarete now take me home, I’ll fit in your bed, c’mon I need a bed to sleep, I am begging you”. I replied “What the h**l are talking about? Who do you f**in think you are?” Then my tram came over, I got on to the tram and said “You stay there, do not f**in follow me or ….” The tram’s doors closed and I went home safely. Went to the bed while keep thinking about my conversation in the Pristkars Cafe. It was a milestone of my life.
