Walk

Today, since a 6 o'clock rain ruined my football time, I took an early shower and decided to wear my "night clothing" early.

What does that teach me?  I learned that some 17-year-old walking in the rain, holding an umbrella, fully clad in pyjamas under a bright evening, is very appealing to my mother-of-two neighbour.

Life changing

Now to learn how to uphold some moral values!  Yay, Pendidikan Moral!!

It's been a while...

This week's been gone in quite simply, a flash.  Yes, SPM is still on.  It still isn't fun, no.  But there were some "interesting" events.

Tuesday
One being the night before my first paper, BM.  I woke up an hour early due to a freaky dream.  I was dreaming of a white Glen Johnson, complete with glasses and dressed like some corporate worker.  

Seriously, can you picture him being white??

Wednesday
I drew some inspiration from watching Watchmen last Sunday for my English paper.  I have to say, the "comic book adaptation that is too complex to be made into a movie" wasn't as bad as doubters thought of it.  Although set in an alternate timeline, the movie was smart albeit dark and wee bit violent.  And I just love the characters of Roscharch and Ozymandiaz (forgot how it's spelt) and how complex they are.

Thursday
And my ordeal of visiting the toilet during the exams.  You see, the rules state that when a student wants to "go for the pitstop", he/she must be accompanied by an invigilator.  So since I had some time to kill in my Sejarah exam, I got curious.  When being escorted, I was thinking: Hmm... So how can I cheat??  No, I didn't cheat, what for?  Besides, I was just brainstorming.

Three ways, in fact.  Though I rather not state them as a safety precaution to future participants.  So I was thinking, would he be standing beside me in the cubicle when I "release some tension"?  Nah, he just stood outside.

Later that day, me and my mom went to celebrate the end of my Sejarah paper with Carl's Jr., which was fantastic.  Since my dad was in Penang, my brother in camp and my sister at the kampung with my grandma, this was the best time.  But my mom already had her lunch so I was eating for one.  So I ordered the biggest burger I could see to fully enjoy this moment.  Then my eyes saw the Chili Cheese Fries and I gave in to temptation.  So, at the end of the day I was struggling to chow down half of the Chili Cheese Fries and the normal fries left by my mom.  It was bittersweet, as I was still half full at dinnertime.

Fast forward to Saturday
The Form 5s decided to pay a visit to the Usaha Camp participants.  I had fun owning the others in Monopoly Deal while waiting for the main event to commence, since they were all new to the game.  We had lots of fun during their Malam Kebudayaan (Culture Night) and our sketch was unanimously the best performance we seniors have pulled off since... EVER.  Then we celebrated Miss Melody's birthday, who is
21, I mean 18. I mean 15.  Yeah... Fifteen.

Then on the way back, Zee's car broke down cos the brake fluid was leaking.  So the initial rendezvous point, SMKDU was scrapped,

Well, that was kinda the entire week as I can recall it.  Gotta blog on a lot of other stuff after SPM...  Oh well, got a date- I mean,
study group soon.  Till then

Gotta muster every ounce of confidence I have...

Are we ready?  I'm certainly contemplating that answer prior to the biggest 3 weeks of our high school life.
Did we give it all we've got?  Some might say so.  I didn't.
Are you in a state of regression?  For I am too meek, yes.
Am I going to live through this?  Yes, but how successful the outcome begs to differ.
Why aren't I studying my ass off as we speak?  Cos my mind and heart can't seem to coincide at the time being.
Am I afraid?  All the time.

Should I choose to stay afraid?  Heck no.
What I'm trying to say?  I'm not fully prepared, but I'm gonna go play my hand and skin out next week.  Period.
Will it be enough?  We'll see next March.  Till then...

My first kiss went a little...

...like this

Sir Licks-a-lot, Didi, aka Steffi's Shi Tzu (is that how it's spelt?) just greeted me with the trademark licking and all.  But when I finally sat on the couch, he jumped onto the couch as well and continued licking me.  Thus, I lost my unofficial first kiss to my furry friend, well at least it was only my lower lip.  Rest assured, I have thoroughly decontaminated my mouth.

And today is the Form 5's last German class...  That just sucks.  We'll be getting our final term results next week.  Hope we all ace the exam!

All this events, on a memorable International Fart Day.  And I uncontrollably gave out about 12 butt burps today.  Yes, I actually kept track.  So what if I contributed to global warming via my hynie, we all do.  Sorry to disappoint.

Doubt

Exams are nearing... Some 17 days from now... I'll be on the hot-seat instead... And the worst thing, I'm not fully prepared for it.

Yet I keep walking down familiar routes,
in doubt, and in dejected times.
Can I pull myself together,
when others are looking?
Can't even stop the rot,
that's slowly chewing off my foundation.
If only I knew...

Currently watching the "AC Milan - Real Madrid" Champions League game.  Real really bore me...  Although the "Special One" is at the helm.  Still lacking killer instinct.  They just lost the lead and are now trailing 2-1 to an aging AC Milan side.  Filippo Inzaghi, one of the best goal poachers I know, netted the brace.

Still trying to get used to the new text editor...  This will take a while...

*5 minutes later*
And Real Madrid equalises through Pedro Leon... Damnit
