Kuli

Renovation has taken long enough to reach 90% status. We hv finally reached the milestone of polishing the marble floor. But b4 they could begin, we have to move everything in the hall to the kitchen or upstairs, which wasnt really easy seeing that we hv so much clutter lying about.
This is my comp table, but u dont see my com.... just lots documents and books.
Coz my com is here, just opposite my comp table covered with dust and dirt waiting to be transported upstairs.
The table next to it... just as eff-ing messy. Most of the books belongs to me and u can spot chai chai's snacks lying atop the meds. Filling up his tummy is way much more important than filling mine!

This is the After pic. Chucked the table outside and it broke into half mid-way thru. Guess i need a new table. =\
My fridge was situated beside the table that was next to my ex-com table. We had a minor argument of wether the fridge has wheels or not but no1 was willing enough to stoop down to check. So, we what-the-heck and dragged it into the kitchen not caring if indeed it had any rollers.
And this is where it's contents lie.
After : fridge miraculously turned into a donald duck knitting done by my auntie a few years back. No, many many years back.

This is my treadmill and behind it is the massage chair. Moved to the kitchen with help from the guy who's showing off his flabby stomach in boxers. Psst, fatty arms too!


After : Moved to the Eff-ing kitchen!
See the chair? We had a dining table there acting like a table-for-the-living-room. It's gone now the 1st thing we chucked into the kitchen!!
The mini hall upstairs.

After : Mini comp hall. I found the scanner lying about in a box somewhere. Thought i lost it ages ago. And infront of it is the mahjong & ramy set..... no idea why it's there. ~ Nice wallpaper!~
Part of my kitchen b4 the move.

My grandma enjoys ordering us around like the captain of a platoon, but too bad, we dont listen to her much.

This is the aftermath. Treadmill next to 2nd fridge, my maggi cupboard is hidden behind the massage chair which is hidden underneath some white cloth and i seem to hv lost my grandma. Bummer.


So they polished the floor today (03/07) and it's so shiny and smooth. So smooth that chai chai's had trouble running about, seemingly to slip n almost fall if he runs too fast. He's fat!! like his dad! No wait, like my dad! =S w/e... the lines of his dad/ my dad are blurred anyway.

Cause = ego

Whoosh, our campfire’s kindled, our ten laws growing brightly…… u can only hear the emcee singing. The crowd was as dead as roadkill and I guess it was expected. The audience we all know came only for one thing, Rescue Act and nthg more. Not the sketch, not the dance, not the gadget and definitely not for the refreshments.

Prep began the week after carnival…. Which aint much actually, only 2 weeks to get everything done that usually needed a month. Sketch was alrite except for the crappy sound system which we paid 1800 for. Dance was okay, last minute grilling by danny worked a lil. RA was….disappointing to say the least. Stunts went badly and….. it sucked, need not say more.

This yrs failure is due to the ego and arrogance of both the form 5’s and the form 6’s. The form 5 for not asking for help and we form 6’s refusing to help w/o them asking for it. It’s actually fine if things were settled when we ask bout the progress. But it’s not when they say sketch is complete while we very well know they hv only completed 4 outta 7 scenes. Come on, the PL in charge of sketch is our bro’s younger bro. How the eff u dare lie to us infront of our faces.

Alas, there’s nthg we can do bout it. Campfire sucked and it sucked big time. Imagine being served ONE nugger, ONE fish ball and ONE curry puff for ur meal. Pwetty good eh?

Thank goodness it’s over now and I know there’s no point for me to bitch bout it now but I hv to rant out my disappointment somewhere. If only we did more eh? How much difference will we make? Batch of ’05 with the Best Campfire organized ever! If only……

My troop tag is an integral part of my uniform without which it is incomplete. It is a symbol of my loyalty and that i hold myself responsible for the things i do.

A white rose signifies "heavenly", which could mean many many things..... but surely only those which are good nad pure.

Return!

WHAT a sight!! My red bm sitting infront of my house. Thank god for it's reappearance!! Hopefully she aint as temperamental as b4!

Sunday, June 24, 2007

The case of the missing red-bmer

We wont be seeing the old-red-bmer in sch for a lil while. She’ll be in the workshop undergoing some repairs to her engine. Her water broke and she wasn’t retaining any liquid no matter how hard I pumped it into her.

I think that actually made her temperamental and she boils over rather quickly. I think it seems that no matter what I do, no matter how much water I fill, she just boils up anyway.

Im praying that it’s just the hose that’s broken and no serious dmg is done to the engine otherwise, im eff-ed!!! Besides, im in need of a car to get about!

cross country

Cross country was a b*tch! My leg’s hurting as a result of it and im walking like a duck…. A lil. I know im not a long distance runner but that didn’t stop me from bragging that I can win this. FAR FAR from it.

I was running alongside chris and it was all good till we reach the 1st incline. Chris was still full of stamina and energy and speeded away from my sight within minutes. I resorted to walking up the slope.

It was all walking + running after that. My ankle was hurting and the stamina seems to hv just disappeared. I actually thought it was longer but it ended earlier than expected. Oh wells, 34. I think it was the same number I got last year for merentas desa. WTF?

Next update

The next up n coming post will be bout the carnival which i will compose during the weekend! Hopefully it'll be.......... interesting to say the least.

Chew my ass.... [Again plz]

So i told my parents that open day is comin up. How rather foolish of me. A quick backlash soon ensured and it came to a point where my parents + my bro were gonna attend it.

I offered, rather weakly that the comments from all the teachers are gonna be the same.

"Either he's not in class or when he is, he's just plain noisy"
Altho i would say i've been rather quiet compared to before.

Anyway, it's always during dinner that we (as in the whole family) would argue bout my academic future. Sometimes i get some back up, sometimes it's all against me. Nevertheless, it seems that my dad is rather set on putting me down whenever he has the chance too. All the better, it's just extra motivation!!!

Failing 2-3 out of 5 subs isnt really convincing i know. But i've been very busy with limited time to revise for the mid-term. Nevertheless, this ass-chewing was already expected but the frequency of it was unpredicted. XD All in all, i know what needs to be done, im just not doing it yet!

But then again, according to my mom, "U always say u know what to do but i NEVER see u do whatever it is that u say u know!"

Crap.....

Friday, June 15, 2007

Thank You

I wouldnt say that my problem aint urs, but i would plead that you do not make my problem into one of urs. All that u should do is be assured that i will find a solution to the problem for there's always a solution to everything.

Outing with Teng

This post should've been updated ages ago but i didnt had the time nor the energy to do it. Was busy busy with carnival which i would say was a success. ( Will post bout it soon =] )

So i had an outing with my long time friend teng on the 7th which i think was a pre-celebration to her bday on the 9th. Sorry that i didnt get u any prezzie but.........

Anyway, she wanted to go to oishi for jap buffet but i wasnt really keen as friends hv told me that it aint that good for the amount u're paying. By the time we bought the tics to Pirates 3 ( Yes, we were the only losers who havent watch it yet!) we didnt hv the time to go for buffet.

So we were deciding on Chilis or Oh sushi! and i was blardy keen on Chilis but.... had to bow down to the wants of the girl who was blardy keen on hv jap food!

THE FOOD SUX!! IM NEVER GOING THERE AGAIN, EVER!

*pics r in random order*

*Oh, we made mv our cam-whoring place at about 12 after our movie. No1 was around so we made ourselves owner of the place.*



with me wanting to puke with another pic of teng's face, i went instead to taking a pic of our feet.




LG floor facing jusco with a few workers eye-ing our asses behind us. still managed to give her some bunny ears.

This is her, blowing the candles of the picture. Only shows how despo she is for a cake!
Would've gotten one but alas, im a lil only the slack side with this kinda things. XD

CRY GHOST!


I think we took this infront of my car when we're about to leave.
Note the amount of oil on our faces. ZzZzZz


Another one. Trying to act cute! =S



Teng stole this technique from her sis. Place the camera on the stand and set the timer.
Then run to the escalator and pose.


Same thing different pose. Notice the bored look, SHE BORES ME!!!!

She despo-ly wanted this pic to be taken. All becoz her camera is also LUMIX!


She tried climbing atop the trolleys but gravity isnt very kind to every1.


Well since she couldnt go up, she opted instead to pose standing.
Apparently my legs are disproportionate!




Teng : u look like a japanese without a nose.


This is her trying to act cute again. Failed miserably. I almost puked on my food! *next pic*


Just had to look away or else would've wasted my food. Took me 10 mins to recover
from my nause-ness.

Miss Not-Delicious-California-Hand-Roll

Hmmm, there should be another pic which i was forced to take becoz this pic made her look fat.
Check out the arms. ZzZz.


So i've known Teng for about 12 years now? And i appreciate her for being here all this while. She's leaving for her interview in hong kong soon and i wish her all the best and hopefully she'll get enrolled in. Good Luck!

Jogging at 2345

It was 2345 hrs and I was feeling a lil restless. I just spent 30 mins on the massage chair undergoing the therapy routine. It wasn’t very therapeutic! =.=.

So I treaded back and forth from my com to the living room for bout 5 mins thinking what I should do. I was feeling sampah as I know I should be revising but the mood just aint there. It’s never there to begin with but let’s put that aside for now.

Out of the blue, I just decided that I’ll run a lil. The rust was catching up on me anyway and it was high time for me to get rid of it. It was making me restless, lazy and weak. It had to go!

So pop I went on my treadmill and ran for 20 mins. Was pancit on the 16th min and could feel the needle piercing thru my lungs. Increased speed to 10 on the last 2 mins and it felt good.

A cold shower after completes the routine and I felt better. It felt good and tranquil. LOL, talk bout exaggeration – but it was really nice-.

Just got back from bak kut the at Jln Raja Laut and it was especially delicious today. And now im just waiting for my princess to reply my msg b4 I succumb into deep slumber. Cheers!

Water Lily



Courtesy of aaron liew siao xian who took the pic at kadorie farm and botanic garden.

Altho, i dont understand how the 2 places look exactly the same. =S

Firm wall

Passsed by a car that was parked too close to the wall for comfort. Couldnt really see what happened but had an itch that it rammed into the wall of the corner house.





So with time on our sides, my friend took a U-turn and passed the exact spot to check out what happened. Many cars with hazards light turned on leaving u thinking that this might be some malaysian teriyaki-boys congregration minus the music. I dont think china-bengs dig those kinda music.....





anyways, coming back, the VIOS did ram into the wall. It's hood was reduced to 3\4 of it's original length. Irony is, there wasnt a scratch on the wall. Hmmm, guess the contractors didnt 'tao kung kam lui' like our goverment contractors. Or else, the beautiful fountain behind it would be leaking water into the drain instead of flowing gracefully into the pond.




It's smth like that, i left out the car parked nearby and the ppl gathered. There were many of em. Prolly some gal mistaken the accelerator for the brake and slammed it right thru. Women drivers, tsk tsk!

And dont diss the artwork.... used a touchpad! Altho i know it looks crappy. XD

we_suck2 > whong



In the chat box it reads:
we_suck2: where u from?
whong: I know you?
ilgcyf: Yup

Apparently there's 2 of me playing dota at the same time. Talk bout meeting ur double! =\

ilgcyf : whong fei hung
whong : u go die

Vague familiar way of conversing... but contrastingly method of gaming as he sucks and he live in johor! And he swears like a chinaman. Yawn!

我是沉默玩具





变成了一个影 隐藏了自己 爱情困难呼吸 我是沉默玩具

执着对你无限期 模糊我自己 不愿升上白旗 输了你的游戏
你和他 对街拥抱 我看到
为什么爱上你的人是我 为什么一厢情愿的人 会难过
为什么对你舍不得的人总是我
爱上你 需要那真情意 收在日记里

寂寞天天不休息 让甜蜜全也忘记 幸福不再美丽 可是我会在意

执着对你无限期 模糊我自己 不愿升上白旗 输了你的游戏
你和他 对街拥抱 我看到
为什么爱上你的人是我 为什么一厢情愿的人 会难过
为什么对你舍不得的人总是我
爱上你 需要那真情意 收在日记里

为什么对你舍不得的人总是我
还是你 需要那真情意 真爱你的人会难过
为什么对你舍不得的人总是我
还是你 需要那真情意 收在日记里

Afraid

I think i like you too much.

..as charged

The feeling fills my heart further with his deafening silence. It would’ve been way better for it to come n go like the forsaken wind but he chose not to say a word, not even a glance and it has it desired effect.

I knew I was wrong the second I opened my eyes awaken to the harsh reality that what I had done is plainly wrong and no amount of excuse or twisting of the facts can change that. I am drowning and the silence is dragging me down faster than I can swim. It is awful.

Nevertheless, mistakes are made so that we learn not to repeat them. It might take a day or 2 but I’ll bounce rite back. It’s not that I don’t feel or is unable to comprehend things, it’s just that I have the tendency to thing our matters profusely for days and *bam* awakening.

Guilt fills my heart and im sorry for what I’ve caused.

1240 hours

Work Work Work. I am remorseful that im the culpri who didnt typed the necessary letter to the ministry to request permission to hold a carnival. YES i did type one to them but that was to sell coupons. How the fuck did i forget the most important letter? Did i forget? or maybe i grew lazy during one of those days.

Hopefully things will work out nicely. I believe that there are solutions to every problem. I just hv to search a lil harder or when I cant solve it ourselves, I need to ask for help. Pn. Vasantha will be heading over to jabatan tmrw or on wednesday and im s'pose to tag along with liks to present our letters and proposal and pray to the gods that the guy's in a jolly good mood or maybe feeling a lil clarkson that day.

Ahhhhhhh, so i changed the teachers list after recommendations from teachers and it was...... @@ <-- my eyes that is. Too many names.. all too similar with muhd, mohd kanagasundaram,kanaga, lin, lim... no offense but when u're looking at 100 over names with several double entry, it raises ur blood pressure by a notch or 2. Took me bout an hour arranging and sorting out their depts, and their respective dept heads. Hadta guess which will do work and who will not too since.. well need all the help we can get now.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~



Allow me to introduce to u a companion of mine. He's kinda old and dusty but it's still working fine. Frankly, i think it's more like a she coz her temperament is... unpredictable.



Yes, it's running on ribbons. Just look at the head, WTF happened to technology?





The alignment has to be set manually by turning that stupid knob at the side. It's time consuming and pissing off coz u hv to do it manually.





And before u can print, u hv to select the text 1st. (yes, this is the sponsorship reply letter >.<)




Then only can u press cltr-p and select print selection and one copy. JUST LOOK AT HOW ADVANCE THIS THING IS, AND THE AMOUNT OF TIME 'SAVED' !!!!





Oh, even tho u canceled a proposed print before it started. Press pause and it'll print that same document 1st before realizing a lil too late that it was canceled and start printing on the new document. Kinda like ms. alien eh? Blur!



Did i mention that only ONE page can be printed at ONE time? Took me 30 mins to print 35 pages.

All in all, im still thankful to hv this old faithful. It worked when my modern canon inkjet printer conked out or when.... nvm. Lets just say that i owe my letters to him...her......him...her.......her....

0110 hours

It's 1.10 in the morning and i desperately need some shut eye. I'd just finished sending mails requesting flyfm and hitz.fm to help publicize VI carnival 2007 and also that their troopers\cruisers come join our party. Funny how, in their effort to be differrent, they use 2 differents words to describe the same thing. Wonder how things will be if both of em showed up for our event. Hmmm, wouldnt really matter, sch's big enough to fit the both of em and we'll just put them at opposite ends.

What;s pissing off is that i'll be having physics class at 8.30 in the morning but i'll be waking u at 7 to print documents then head to sch to get the b.p. pengetua chop and hand over letters to pn. Darlilah to give it to some ex p.k. of our sch working in the ministry now.

Troubles arose and solutions are somewhere yet to be found. It will be found nonetheless. Not everything seems to be they way their are. As thesaying goes, "Believe none u hear and half that u see" What we were seeing, we were told, recently werent really the truth or it was the manipulating of it. But then again, if the saying is true then we cant really believe what we are hearing now can we? Oh well, whatever comes, comes and we will face it with our spartan shields for we will give them nthg, but take from them EVERYTHING. This carnival will only be successful. Nthg less!

Job Offer

My parents love to test my confidence. Apparently I’m an arrogant snob who’s too confident of himself. So I told them that i’ll be slacking on my mid-term but promising to start studying after June during which both carnival and campfire will be done for. They understand, im sure they did but that didnt stop them for busting my ass anyway.
“If you don’t get straight A’s for ur stpm u can come work in my store” has been jackhammered to my ears over n over again. It’s not that it’s impossible eventho it is really but the perks of working in their office just cant be seen. For 1, there aint no air-cond in the store and the only company I’ll be getting is from the 4 walls n spare parts who only manages to stare blankly back.
Furthermore, my parents office seems to be situated in oblivion. There is only ONE comp which my mom uses to type her doc. & that’s only a p3. The only telecommunication service detected is the land line and well, mobile devices since it’s already ubiquitous. Streamyx seems to hv missed my dad’s office for some zealotry reason or maybe he’s just too cheap to use it. Altho he subscribed for a celcom 3g wireless line which he recently upgraded to 1MB. Oh my, the bandwith wasted on a –stuffed-11 months pregnant-man-who has about 10% comp. literacy. He uses it only to analyse the stockmarket with his not-so-keen eyes and maybe to read on some political shit happening in our country. But then again, almost everything that happens in our country is political, look at the burst pipes flooding our gov. offices. Who would’ve thought MONEY had a part.
Top these up with the fact that zaizai acts as if he owns the office. Every customer has to pass his test which is very simple actually. Ignore and u get barked at, pat him and he shuts the **** up.
My parents like to work their employee’s to the max. I know, becoz I aint one. But they occasionally ask for my help to ‘pun for’ when a shipment arrives. Yea, they use the fit one instead of exercising the fat one sitting at home in front of MY com playing MY game. But then again, he’s weak anyway.
Their work is tiring and I don’t know how they do it but they manage to do it anyway. And I think their pretty good at their work too since well, I aint eating white rice+ curry.
I really don’t mind them busting my ass once in awhile but too frequent a prod turns the ‘prodded’ into a beast. I know they meant to do good, hey, a lil insult here, a lil salt on ur wound there does wonders rite? Besides, I might be really contemplating the job offer.

Soft & lovely

I lost smth very important 2 days ago and i want to regain it quite badly indeed.
I told u that it was smth red, but when i think a lil harder, i find it to be more reddish-pink.
It's size is small for it wouldnt be as attractive if it was a lil bigger.
It's shaped long n oval and if im not wrong, it's pseudo-splitted into 2.
It' s smth soft and lovely yet powerful where it's mere presence changes the bleakest into smth worth apprehending.
I thought i noticed it's re-emergence today. But i think i'll hv to search a lil harder for it. After all, it was 2 days ago when i lost it!
XD

This is my dog, zai zai. No wait... he's not MY dog. He's my dad's 3rd son.


Apparently he took over my place as the treasure son at home. I hate him!


And i hate him even more for being a poser. He gets on my nerves!!



And this is bulldog baby who manages to get on HIS nerve. Muahahaha....

The other guy

As I was taking a leak in the toilet this very evening itself, a sudden thought came to me. It might be my conscience speaking but then again this type of thinking almost always show up at the weirdest of times.

“The only reason im not tensed up and hving this no frails attitude is becoz I could not comprehend the severity of my failure!”

That might be right tho, at least to a certain extent. I hv already set my mind on the fact that I’ll flop this exam and will or can only start studying after June when all the co-curricular ends. At the same time however, there’s a constant knocking right at the back of my head which tells me that if I cant even handle mid-term how am I gonna handle STPM?

This fuels a debate within me and I sometimes think I hv 2 different personalities with totally opposite thoughts and preferences. It’s weird that I know what I should do but I wouldn’t do it or if I did, it’ll be too late. Then that other guy will come busting my ass for not doing what I knew I should’ve done. Or if I did smth wrong, he’ll come running to kick my ass for doing smth so stupid which I know I shouldn’t hv done. Hmmmmm…..

I hv studied today however, and im planning to study again for a lil bit. In btw now and then tho, I spent a few hours dota-ing, and another hour sleeping. I hv the tendency to console myself by saying failure is just another step towards success but blardy hell, failure is a very very small step indeed IF you don’t do anything to correct the wrong.

So once again, it’s not that I don’t know what to do. Some guy inside of me is just preventing me from doing it or making me procrastinate till it’s too late. After all, he told me that maybe I just couldn’t comprehend failure which is truly quite foreign.

Stupid

-Post has been removed by David-

Walking like a duck

A sudden craziness took over and I decided rather unwittingly to go for a jog. It was 4.30 and I just got home from a tiring day at sch playing salesman. I ran till I couldn’t run anymore then I continued to walk. When the pancit-ness left me, I continued running again and when I couldn’t run anymore I still continued to run. I jogged for 2 hrs with my ipod playing in my ears and it was mind-clearing.

My muscle aches and it’s been aching for 2 days. Ascending & descending stairs takes quite a lot of effort and if I want to minimize the pain, I’ll walk like a duck. I’ll prolly do it again tho, when my leg’s all better. I think I’ll prolly only run again next week or smth. It’s relaxing in a strange way and it helps to clear things up a lil.

But then again, mid term starts tmrw and lasts for a week. SO I don’t think I’ll hv the time to go jogging. Not only do I NOT want this exam to be held, I am unprepared for it. The past month has been busying myself with carnival work and playing about. I hv not spent any time studying and will prolly flop this @#%# exam.

There aint no regrets tho, when I look back in a while, I’ll be beaming with terpaksa bangga-ness for I managed to juggle all these co-curricular activities and scoring for stpm. Just hvta wait for it! =)

Bummers

I am now officially defunct! I cant work, im engrossed in the thoughts of others and the urge to study or to play is just lost. It seems that I’ve lost interest in things I use to lose myself in. But losing interest in gaming is seriously more a boon than anything else. First of, I no longer destroy my own eyes with strenuous rapid eye movement to detect the slightest of movement on the mini map, nor do I waste hours clicking the nails off my fingers which is the sacrifice I pay to hv higher sensitivity. It also leaves me time to perform other activities. But what else can I do when I don’t even wanna do anything else?

I’ve actually found the root of this problem and it’s a lil ‘kik sau’ to begin with. The solution seems to be lost with Atlantis while the problems kept on piling and piling till u wont be able to see Timbuktu. Or maybe It’ll cover up the whole south coast and shield us from the view of s’pore which is all so small? Hmmmmm, not a bad preposition but I don’t hv so many problems to begin with.

The best I can do now is to just slog it thru and to ‘hold on when u feel like letting go, hold on it is better than u know’ Yea good charlotte, san kiu for giving us We Believe too! To come n think of it, I found the cause but not the problem itself. It seems to delude me everytime I search for it’s rieatsu but I know it’s there. Where else would this mess arise from? Hmmmm, or maybe it’s just me causing of these? Bummmers.

Sunday, May 13, 2007

If things were as straight forward as a rail way track, it wouldn’t be so fun and exciting to indulge in. Why? Becoz u already know where u’re going and how u’re gonna get there. There are no deviations, no changes and no surprises. Wouldn’t that be a bore?

SIGNS

Wow, im just in the mood to crap. This will be my 3rd post for the day and I dunno wtf has gotten into me. I think it’s the weather, or prolly becoz circumstances forced me to be a lil extra cockstories. Since the treadmill is out of order for a lil while more, and studying will bore me to death, I just have to channel my energy thru smth else.
Signs are important as it tells a person where to go and where he should be heading. Why do u think we have signs on our roads anyway? If a person is unsure how to get somewhere, he only hv to ask a walking roadmap (like danny) or get a real map or just look at the signs. Can u imagine driving on roads without signs? We’ll be like wild dogs roaming the savana’s and tracking our way about thru the scent of our urine. Absolutely Absurd!!
However, signs might be confusing too. It’s best that u know indefinitely where u’re heading and how to get there. If u don’t, problems might arise. Imagine getting lost and u’re heading to point C when actually u wanted to go to point B. But when u look at the signs, it only shows direction to point A and point D but not to point B. Then what do u do? Well, like any other person, u’ll prolly try ur luck by flipping a coin to follow either route A or route D. Good luck coz both might lead u to Timbuktu. So it’s best to just stop there and wave down some kind Samaritan and ask for direction, although u might find another blind mice and then u’ll hv blind mice following another blind mice.
So signs, it’s good coz it’ll show u where to go and if u;re lost, at least it tell u that u’re lost. Hmmm, but what if u’re stuck in a low-tech country which cant even afford putting up signs on roads? Then my friend, u’re seriously in for a treat. Signs r important and we really cant live w/o it, at least for me I think it is.

??

Today is just another one of those days where I have so much to type about but the rhythm just couldn’t start flowing. It’s like being in a market selling goods and u’re a fickle minded consumer. So many choices, so lil time but a choice has to be made. Hmmmm wait, this is going to a direction I rather not walk down just yet. =)
So anyway, since we’re always trying to publicize our carnival, liks has started a thread on xfresh announcing our carnival. We were hoping for a good response yet what we received what depressing. Furthermore there was this asshole who started flaming our school so what are to do but to flame back? It’s not smth we’re proud of but when some1 steps on our nerve, we hv to do smth. Besides, it’s wrong for him to start flaming us in a public forum where all we had wanted to do was to publicize our carnival.
Grandma fell a few days back and cant really move now. Dad brought her to a traditional Chinese meds guy who after examining her leg concluded that it’s her veins. She’s whining and complaining bout the pain which I can understand becoz it sux when u cant move and it hurts when u try. Nevertheless, there is nthg we can do to ease her pain but to just keep supporting her and layaning her as much as possible. It’s known that old people are attention seekers and I think it’s only fit for us to play to her tune, she’s in pain and deserve every ounce of our str and attention. May u recover soon!

Funny

Are u seriously kidding with me? LOL.... this is so hilarious that it's absurd to the point which i almost cant believe it..... HAHAHAHA..... gr8..... 4 yrs.

Water Lily





Today was tiring, but it was worth it. Was atop my bed at around 3.30 and slept till 7.30. Which i think the only thing that awoke me from my beautiful dream was my stomache growling for food.




As i was walking out to the porch to get the car, smth strange caught my eye. In the middle of my man-made pond, stood a singular being in full blossom reaching for the moon. Looking so subtle yet elegant at the same time.
-Reaching for the moon-
-Notice behind the blossomed flower is another one waiting to blossom-
-Beautiful-
I dont know why but i didnt notice it b4. But i did today.

Resolved

Wounds wide open with blood gushing out, this is the best time to rub salt on it. Aggravate the pain to the extend that the victim passes out then only can u administer the most painful medicine to save his life.

Desperate times calls for desperate measures and when things get worse, the urge to find a solution is so strong that it seems paramount to other things. I think i hv found my resolve. It came unexpected, in a place where wouldnt guess i could think it thru. Yet it did. Yet it did.

It was just a short composition, consisting bout 600 words which i wrote while i was zombie-ing in my parents office. There was nthg to do and i was just lying there trying to sleep. But the lights were piercing thru my closed eye lids and she just begins to form whenever i close my eyes. I penned down my thoughts, my feelings towards her and patch it up with a lil bit of emotions. That's what essay should hv, feelings and emotions & not just plain academical points.

After composing that which no1 will read it, only myself. I've decided on the course i need to take and i will embark on the mission to convince her to take the 1st step to the 1000 miles journey with me. =)

Fizzling Out

I think I should put an end to this. It is consuming me slowly from within and if I were to leave it as it is, im gonna be fully consumed by it. And I will not allow that to happen. My mind is in a mess and I cant focus. I couldn’t event sleep just now with the thoughts of __ just kept haunting me. It made me angry and boils my blood for this is smth I’ve no control over and maybe im frightened? A concoction of emotions all mixed up flows thru my veins. Im a mess!

I think I should put an end to this but my only worry is that I’ll regret ending smth which I did not want to end. Thank you for causing this misery.

Yawn

I missed breakfast and I missed lunch. By the time I head to the court my stomach was growling, crying to be fed. But I wont eat, coz I cant run much if I ate. Didn’t really make a difference anyway, still played like shit today!

Decided to skip tuition while playing bball and I blame it all solely on my instincts. CC was crappy, work was not done and they weren’t serious. Campfire’s only 2 months away and there are loads to be done.

Had RA afters which was not bad. Very good exercise, climbing that is. Every time I look up at the long pipe, fear takes over for a few secs. Common wall was easy but they all couldn’t even get up there needless to say climb over.Hmmph, more training needed. Half pipe was a piece of cake and requires no skill- just strength- yet they skill couldn’t conquer it. WTF?

An event manager met us after RA to discuss a contract of us building a few gadgets for em and they’ll pay us. He wants 6 main gadgets with 4 peripherals and offered 1.3k with transport or 1.6 w/o transport. I aint really keen onto this, takes too much effort and it’s a rush. The event’s on may 10 and we don’t even have woods yet. WTF? Besides, 1.3k is a lil less on the money side.

One day trip

THE plan was to have a one day trip to penang and we were to start our journey at 6. Okay, i dont mind since i get to eat, eat, eat and eat. Then they decided to go to muar. Fine by me.

So on that day i woke up at 9 to the sound of some shit ass mobile ringing non-stop. I went to my parents room to find my dad still sleeping. Feeling a lil pissed i went back to bed knowing that the trip will not materialise. I woke up at 11 and after doing the things ppl dont mention that do in the toilet but ppl knows, i went down to the hall and saw both my parents there. Armed still with the pissy feeling i opened my gap -

me: So much for penang
parents : Both cockstares me awhile.
me : so much for Muar, now we staying at home.
mom : u didnt want to wake up!
me: -.- *thinks to self- wtf?*
mom : woke u all up didnt wanna wake up. Dont blame us.
me : Quite got... and proceed to lie down on the couch.

So neither penang nor muar happened instead we whisked our asses to Malacca. Malacca, the place where it all started, the cornerstone of our very civilisation. If malacca didnt happen, malaysia would be from somewhere else anyway.

So, 1st stop, 2nd sis fish ball.... The mee was bad and the soup a lil tasteless but the fish balls are delicious and bouncy. I think u can almost play ping pong with the balls. The 'FU CHUK' was extremely tasteful and crispy with just enough fish paste inside to add to the great taste. Not too oily too. Nice

Then we went to hv chicken rice ball! "kai lap fan". The ori stall just finished so we went to the 2nd best which tasted not bad anyway. Sis was damn kampung as she havent tasted this b4. =.= what kind?

Out of the blue, my dad decided to visit a shopping complex which was more a like a shoplot which didnt have elevators nor escalators. WTH, ever heard of technological advancements? Got myself a belt for formal wear. Apparently it's important.

Dad brought us into a back alley where it didnt look very clean. There was only 2 tables with numerous chairs situated atop of another table was plates after saucer plates of chili sauce with peanut, lime and a tinge of 'har gao'. Hmmmm ? Then i saw it. Behind the table near the old lady that was preparing the chili, were buckets after buckets of 'si ham', 'lala' and 'loh'. 1st is ordered 2 of each, then we added more and more and soon it came to about 12 plates. The price? DIRT CHEAP- only RM 16. Since they only boiled it, there was must taste to it except for it's FRESH-ness which is most important. The chili was... fantastic. Thank god for hep. b injection!

Dinner was taken by the seaside at the portugese settlement. It was fabled to be so and so delicious but it turned out to be a miserable tourist spot which means that the food arent really up the standard and price is touri-shi. We ordered - sambal sotong which was not bad - the only dish there that is so-, sambal fried rice, chicken curry devil - which should be hot and spicy but wasnt - and black pepper crab - which tasted saltier than sea water, or just as salty =.= -.

We ended our trip in malacca with a final stuffing of out stomache. The claypot rice was s'posed to be good. It was jus that, SUPPOSED. It wasnt horrid but it didnt have much taste to it either. Dad also ordered 'oor xian' which is oysters fried with egg which had more flour than oysters. Crappy. Sate was well sate, nthg spectacular. The only thing that was, was that a snake appeared at the compound but i didnt see it myself. Just saw old men crowding around the tree with oo-aahh's and mumblings. Oh i forgot, the tea was like dishwater, sucky.

And we crashed into my seats of our car. I was sneezing non-stop after a few mins in the car and the last count was at 11 or 12. Not sure but it damn right was a disturbance. Slept the whole way back and i think it rained. Took us 2 hours to reach home whilst it took us only 1 hour 20 mins to get there.

All in all, i have no complains as it was fun and fulFILLING. Im waiting excited for the trip to penang as penang is seriously a food paradise. *drool*

Sigh

When every1 around you says u're sampah, i think i need to take a step back and analyse a lil if i am really sampah. Playing 2nd fiddle, no.... third \XD aint really nice but, it cant be helped. It's not like i didnt invest must effort in it, i just..... eff-ing gr8, im outta words. This will be exciting but a lil depressing at the same time. *yawn*

wtf?

It's surprising how smth so un-wrong can be so wrong at the wrong time and cause so much rage that it boils the blood to the bones. Crappy.

5j will not be repeated.


In everyone’s eyes, it seems to be all fun and games. A sudden outburst and fingers pointing accommodates the scene. Tempers blare and emotions erupt. An unwanted incident brought 2 brothers head on while the 3 of us can only watch hopelessly.
Standing on the fence protecting them against one another and shielding them from their Fucks and Anger is easier in theory. I stood on the fence weighing both their stories which seems similar. Those who do not know, thinks that my sudden burst accompanied by laughter is an act of sohai-ness. They have not witness 5J! And they never will as I will not allow that to every happen again. No, not infront of my brothers. I hv vowed to nvr vent my anger on them. So, i take this opportunity to apologize to all of u for being unable to control my temper, that i allowed myself to raise my voice to u all. For this, i am truly sorry!
It hurts down to my spine to see them argue. They are family and witnessing that is a pain. If I was not acting like I had, I would’ve smacked both of them for fighting. Liks and danny were there and im sure this ‘event’ affects them deeply too. What are we to do but to ride out the storm and try our best to be there for them….and us.
Their problem is ours to share, their burden ours to carry. The root of the problem was a misunderstanding that was not solved in time. It’s over now. And I believe this torn will not affect our relationship. After all, blood is thicker than water and our brotherhood will never cease to grow!

Second to None.


Dread

As I review back on what I penned for writing. A feeling of dread fills my mind. The most I can get is a mere 48 and this I hv been already very generous. ZzzZz

Sweet, sweet!

There is definitely worry on both my parents faces every time the thought of me wanting to study medicine surfaces. It is distinct as it is very real. They know that im an airheaded a** and that when I’ve set my mind onto smth, ill most prolly never change it. Unless of coz, im proven that it’s totally wrong.
There will always be a 5mins reserved slot for me during dinner where the topic emerges. They will ask over & over again if I really wanted to be a doctor and they will go on to repeat themselves that it’ll be better for me to pursue other academic choices. Then they’ll bust my ass for NOT studying. It will eventually lead to my dad having insufficient money to put me thru med sch. And that the only way they gonna afford it is by using their EPF. Hmmm? Got a feeling their just trying to make me feel bad. After all the arrogance and bragging to us kids he says he doesnt have money. =.=

Ytd my dad popped a qn at me which got me thinking a lil.

Dad : What r u gonna do if u cant get into medicine?
Me : Never thought of that.
Dad : U hv to.

I know I should plan and am thinking long & hard what to pursue IF may god forbid I do not get into medicine. Hmmmph, these are matters better left for when I’ve got nthg better to do.
I like it when ppl underestimate me. Lolz, no im not crazy! I enjoy proving them wrong then being able to bust their ass afters with my victory march. It’s not so much that im over-confident it’s that im confident in my abilities to overcome all challenges thrown at me. This is getting exciting. =)

MUET

IT seems that I’ve been a lil lagging lately. I was either too lazy or when I lay my hands on the keyboard, mental block! It’s not so much that I’ve got nthg to type bout but rather the fact that I’ve too much that I couldn’t figure out which topic I should embark on. XD, rite.. just believe what I just said ok?
MUET exam will be in 2 days time and im shaking to my bones. It is just English after all but the thought of it being an exam is exhilarating. It’s not to say I hate exams, no, I love exams. I just hate what comes AFTER sitting for the exam. Anyway, Writing, Reading and listening will be held from 8 till 1 after which im free to roam for a lil bit before I prepare for SPEAKING which is a @#$^&%$^$.
No1 received a band 6 for the MUET trial. It was depressing to say the least, those who were slated to get band 6 did not fulfill the expectations. Most of us were pulled down by the reading comprehension which in chris’s and my mind is definitely a pain in the ass. Why can they only have writing eh? Oh wells good luck to every1 who’s sitting for the paper. Good luck to you, bobo and good luck to myself too. For this time, I wouldn’t say I don’t need luck! ;) CHEERS

WE believe

If God was lil unkind to me, the fall I had 2 years back would’ve rendered me to a wheelchair for life. It still hurts sometimes which only reinforces the memory of that day. My fall was broken but I still landed in the drain but with the impact severely minimized. I owe my mobility to them. Hahaha.
WE believe that our unity will get us through thick and thin. Our brotherhood seems strong even tho it’s weak. WE believe that somehow we will always stick together? Our slideshow for campfire managed to cement the crowds on their seat. It was a 1st since all of em will leave after RA. The background music were “All my life – KC & Jojo and WE believe – Good charlotte.” It was touching to say the least, no words could describe the feeling we all felt that moment.
The songs now appear to be just like any other. However, to the 11 of us (Maybe all 11?) the song warps us to another place of another time with memories we shared so full that we seem to almost drown in it. When we’re warped back into reality, tears would build up but none will flow.
If God was a lil unkind to me, anand and liks wouldn’t hv been there to break my fall. If I was a lil unlucky, I wouldn’t hv gained 10 ‘bros’ which are pain in the asses but will always hold a special place in me. Cheers

RA

I am an asshole in that I do not know when to give up. Actually, I don’t give up even at the most dire situation. I don’t know why but I’ve always held on to the belief that when there’s a will there’s definitely a hidden way. However, there are times where I came very close to throwing in the towel. I don’t know why, but apparently that asshole of me left me when I needed him to stay the most. Ironic!
I’ll most probably be flying tuition tmrw. Altho I know I should be focusing on my studies but… RA is way much more exciting and thrilling then sitting at the table looking at the man who wouldn’t help u with the problem even when u begged him to. The probability of falling and breaking a few bones is high but it is outweighed by the fun and the adrenalin rush when u’re climbing or when u reach the top.
RA is a sport. U scale the walls with ur bare hands and legs w/o any harness and only the slight relief that u have the mattress to break your fall. It is a sport which I enjoy and love. Maybe of it’s freestyle and because danger is always lurking. It’s the sort of enjoyment and fulfillment which I cannot explain.
Nevertheless, as I age and the fears of injuring myself seems so near and possible, it has hindered me from performing as radically as I used to. A mere look up the long pipe which I conquered so frivolously is enough to send chills down my spine. Alas, I will not be doing RA anymore. This year will be my last!

My fault as much as urs

Words seem to have lost me. Hmmmm, A PL has just reported to semang-kun that he got whacked up by one of the form 4’s who was furious that he skipped meeting. Well maybe he should be whacked a lil, but not to the extent of getting kicked. It is too much for me who I hv to admit is a lil crazy in the ragging department. I’ve had my fair share of being ragged and ragging to understand that my limits should be set as low as possible but high enough to get the msg across.
The report has been sent and can only be recovered with approval from his parents. Semang-kun seems dead set in suspending us but we cannot allow that to happen. Campfire’s 2 months away and suspension will jeopardize everything that we have planned. Hopefully the boy’s dad will agree in meeting with us on Friday to discuss how we can resolve this w/o getting our troops ass in line. We have to offer more than an apology but rite now that’s the only thing left on the table. There is nthg much we can do except to maybe pray for his kindness?
This all falls back on us, who were s’pose to ‘oversee’ things and making sure that things run as smooth as possible. It seems that we have failed both our troops and ourselves. I did not know bout this mess till today when I saw the PL’s infront of semang’s room and when I got back to class to relay what had happened they have the fucking nerve to tell me that they already know last week? WTF?
Nvm, what matters most now is avoiding suspension and the only way we can do that is to get the boy’s parents to agree to do so. That said, this is our fault more than it was the form 4’s. Our inability to guide is the cause of this mess in the 1st place. ZzzZzz

say yes

It is frustating to say the least. She seems to be avoiding me since, refusing even to make eye contact. Hmmm, i think maybe i went a lil too deep a lil too fast? But that cant be helped, it seems to the exploding to the pt that couldnt be contained. LOLz, speak of exaggeration - maybe a lil-. But being able to only look at from afar is seriously taking a toll. If only i hv the guts to go speak to her or maybe she could some speak to me? Ahhhh, i guess it'll be decided this week. Hopefully it'll be a yes.

More & more secular?

Flip the papers a few days back and find another billionaire just got back from a space vacation costing him millions which I think he don’t even care about. There was an article regarding our public transport which caught my eye. Segregation of train rides according to SEXES.
I will understand or try to if we were living somewhere near the desert where men have long unkempt beards while the women can only be seen thru her eyes. No wait, sometimes u cant even get a glimpse of their eyes.
Malaysia is not a secular country so we should not act like one. The motion in parliament to segregate train rides according to sexes because it MIGHT cause discomfort to the womenfolk is downright atrocious and I’ll go as far as to say stupid and pointless. I guess our parliamentarians had too much time f*ucking around until they contracted AIDS, making them intimidated by the very thought of touching another women.
Apparently there were complaints that a few women’s modesty was violated. It prolly should be during after office hours where the trains are crazily packed. Every1’s trying to get home as quickly as possible to the comfort of their homes and ridding that heavy coat of theirs. This urgency causes most of them to forget what lining up means making them to push, squeeze and scheme their way into the train neglecting that poor old lady waiting in line.
So, some good might come out from this segregated train shit. That poor old lady will hv no worries about some chauvinistic pig cutting her queue. She wouldn’t even have to fear that she will be unable to board the train since there are less females compared to males. But then again, she prolly has to contend with lesbo’s roaming the trains for a free grab or two. But then again, we only care bout the guys who grope women and not about women groping women.
And what about those poor old men? I guess they’ll just have to wait for some good Samaritan to assist them into the train eh? But then again, it’s only a sexist problem. And I bet the complaints were lodged by some fat and ugly malay pig who is too self-centered!

“A malay problem is a national problem. A Chinese problem is only a racial problem and an Indian problem is not even an eff-ing problem to begin with”

Distance between....

Losing 10 points for my essay was quite a shocker for me. Altho I knew it wasn’t very good, but at least I knew it wasn’t heavy. For all the harrumphs I stated in my essay of looking from diff pov, I think I attacked the question from only 1. And I lost to chris by 4 pts! Asshole! And teacher wanna photostat his essay. Oh, the salt on my wound!! Hahaha…
Alas, altho it wasn’t heavy, it wasn’t “soft” either. I don’t really grasp what soft means but I wasn’t gonna ask blatantly what it means. It just aint politically correct! Anyways, I can only guess that my essay are just too serious or distant. Or in ying ling’s word which teacher agreed too academic. Man, those Time and Economist mags are might be really getting into me. There was also one more thing which pn. vasantha said that got my mind churning on afterburners.
Im an asshole in sharing things about me. I hate it for it exposes me making me feel vulnerable. However, I do share some things with ppl close to me. Nevertheless, what I share can be considered limited and I try to remain vague and make it sound like a joke at best. I like to let ppl know as lil as possible bout me and what they know is what I want them to know and what they do not know they will never know unless of coz I let them know what they do not know.
It’s prolly not good for relationships but I cant promise that I’ll act the same way towards her as I did with other ppl. Hmmm, maybe i’m diff in different situations. Well the last one has thought me to at least share some if not all or im gonna lose those i care about. Time shall be my witness eh? But as they say, old habits die hard! Hahah
Cheers! And chris I’ll keep that 4 pts in mind so that I’ll beat ur ass the next time I write an essay which hopefully will be light and soft enough for their liking! =.=.

She takes my stuff and steals my money!!!

I hate my sis. She takes my money w/o telling me and will not admit even when i bust her ass. Or she says to lend her and promises to pay me back yet pulls the blur look when i ask for it. Fine!

Then she takes my stuff w.o telling me either. my phone, my car, my card etc. Oh i didnt know she owns every i own! =.=. But then i guess all elder sisters are like that. Evil-leeches-who-only-takes-youngest-bro's money.

I just woke up from an afternoon siesta lasting about 2 hours. My attempt to wake up at 6 had been foiled when i rose from my bed, turn off the alarm and flung myself back to the comfort of my pillow.

So i came down expecting to find my phone exactly where i left it. Alas, it was not to be, it's been moved and thither where i ought to hv know! I took my dad's phone and started dialing my phone up in hope to hear it ring. But all i heard was the swoosh of the toilet! My phone was in silent mode =.=. I kept on dialing my number yet no1 picked up. If it's lodge somewhere in btw some crevasse, it would've been lost forever since there's no way of 'hearing' it's position.

What the heck, after about the 6th time, my sis picked it up and cooly stated, yea i took ur phone. Bye! WTF!!! I dont like her!

Unstable rock

The Institution of Victoria is slowly disintegrating by itself. The social structure is collapsing, threatening to bring everything that once stood with it. The proud Victorian’s existence is by itself diminishing and we know it. This is not sudden yet is caused by a few underlying reasons stretched over the years.
We have always been a semi-autonomous school with the school administration running everything else except the students. The students were indeed controlled and looked after by the upper formers and the prefects. This has been going on since the school was established 100 over years ago but the recent batches of administration deemed this unfit to be applied in the 21st century.
They took over the selection of prefects -the core artery of the school- making choices from the recommendations of teachers who insisted on installing pets, work dogs and people who listen too much when at times like this, we are in dire need of thinkers, leaders, and worthy men. But that’s not to say all of them are, just most. Instilling unworthy student as prefects has robbed the board of its prestige and respect. Eyes which used to stare in wonder and fear now look with disappointment and hopelessness. The administration should’ve never interfered with the selection of the Prefects.
Since appearing on the national newspapers, there has been a crackdown on ragging in schools. This is fairly welcomed since children are getting more and more protected and a mere slap on the hand might land you a court meeting. However, let us not forget that we are in an all boys school and we have to learn that our parents will not always be there to shield us. I remember vividly what my dad told me sometime ago, “Go and study, go and run around and go get into a fight. Then decide which is fun and which hurts.”
However, the school might have gone too far or disillusioned by their ‘white knight’ role that they will punish or suspend anyone suspecting of ragging without a full investigation. Take the recent case of the KRS where a boy reported to the P.k. H.E.M. that he was ragged. The leaders of the club were brought up to the discipline board where they were sentenced rather speedily to suspension till further notice. Eye witness exclaimed that no ragging occurred and the only contact made was a kick to the shin when the boy was doing push-ups –which is quite normal-. Nevertheless, the eye witness’s account was dismissed. It is inappropriate and wrong for the board to have acted thus. It portrays that the system is unfair and at worst corrupted where personal interest overshadow the rule of justice.
If there’s even any! Let me tell you a story, “2 prefects went out to eat and they came back caught, they were both brown and so was he and they were free to roam. 3 prefects went out to eat and also came back caught, but none was brown and he starts to frown and throws them into the box. They were looked upon and stripped to the toe and finally sent away!” How is it possible that two similar scenarios are handed so differently and the latter so ruthlessly that even people on the fringe felt wronged? Absurd……absurd…….absurd!
There used to be around 200 over first formers every year but the number has been dwindling for the past few years to about only 150 or so. This could be because the name of Victoria Institution no longer strikes home in people’s hearts or that the school is becoming more particular in the students she chooses to admit. Nevertheless, it is still alarming that then number of students is diminishing so quickly. Accompanying the drop is the unbalanced ratio of the racial mix. It used to be 50% Bumiputeras, 30% Chinese and 20% Indian however; the ratio has changed dramatically with a sharp rise in the number of bumiputeras selected and dips in the other two races. It is unclear if the school has any special racial preferences or if it’s an order from higher authorities but the change in the ratio is disadvantageous to both the school and the students itself.
Malaysia is a multi racial country and integration of the races is paramount to the stability of the country. The best location for implementing this is in schools and institution of learning. If the ratio of the races is severely handicapped which is the case now in VI where 80% of 1st formers are Bumiputeras while 10% are Chinese and the other 10% Indians. This forces the minority to mingle more amongst themselves than with other races. That’s that for muhibbah.
Opportunely, a new hostel block has been constructed and there are rumours of VI changing into a full boarding school. This would explain the increase in the number of bumiputeras selected for they are more willing to live in hostels. I am however, questioning the practicality –if it’s true- of having a full boarding school in the heart of K.L. The students are mostly from or live near the city and the public transport is ubiquitous. Furthermore, can students be contained within the school compound at night when the attractions of the city’s night life are just a couple of blocks away?
The money spent on constructing a new hostel block should’ve instead been channelled to other parts of the school that requires more funding. For instance, the money should’ve been spent on upgrading the basic infrastructure of the school, repairing and improving the sporting facilities and of course, better toilets. Yet, the interest of many is second-rate to providing comfort for the few. Once again, it’s a case of misguided principles and failure to prioritize, something which we’ve been taught since we were young but I guess wisdom forsakes a few old men and we’re all just unlucky to have them in our midst.

A loss felt by all

A guy in form 5 has just passed away today. No matter how unknown he was, his loss was a loss felt by all of us. I did not know his face, i dont know his class and i dont even know his name. But when one of us is gone, his disappareance never goes unnoticed. A 1 minute of silence during lines was a show of respect, a respect we hold towards our fellow victorian!




My Perception is that you dont love those you admire.....so, yea =). But do tell if im wrong.

what do i do...

The easiest thing for me to do yet I couldn’t not do it. Unexplainable but I am struck speechless every time I touch the chord. Phone calls lasting less than a minute or filled partially with silence aint a very nice. But it didn’t stop me from trying, it compelled me to try harder the next time. Funny….
I don’t understand this feeling im experiencing rite now. One part of me is screaming for confrontation whilst the other cowers in fear of what might happen. It’s amplified even further as I can’t gauge her thoughts and my guesses are almost always off the mark.
What do I do...zzzz
