Rumours

I've seen finger-pointing, followed by giggles.

I've seen snobs.

I've seen whispers while staring at me.

I've seen disgusted faces.

I may not know if there is a shrew out in the loose spreading rumours about me, but if there is, I have 3 words for you.

Get a life.

The things you are talking about is my life, my choice of living, and has nothing to do with you. It does not concern you in any matter. It is people like you that causes the current society to crumble.

Worse, those little devil whispers you indulge in may not even be true. If this is the case, it just makes you more of a nuisance.

Come to think of it, I pity you, sparing time in this nonsense when those minutes or even seconds could be spent on doing something thats ACTUALLY beneficial for you.

Also, I bet you didn't know the meaning of a word spelled m-i-r-r-o-r, because clearly, you haven't seen one. If you do, I bet you will feel terrible. Awww....

So do me a favour, take all your little devil whispers, climb all the way up to the top of Petronas Twin-Tower, do your infamous monkey dance, and the jump off. Thank you.

I have no more interest in responding to the likes of you.

Happy Birthday to Me

Haha, this is how I celebrated my birthday, which is on the 22nd August. 11am~1pm, Math tuition in Tanjung, followed by a painful finale of 6~9.30pm Chemistry tuition in Paya Terubong by Mr. Sim. Though, how did the cake shown above appear?

Well, its thanks to all my classmates (6AB) for celebrating it for me in advance on Friday! They planned a suprise party which of course, I have no idea of. So thats why you wanted me to come so much on Friday, SauFei!

Well the different thing about this years celebration is that this is the 1st time I celebrated with my entire classmate, not some usual dinner with my entire family.

Another different thing happened is that I was told to take out all the candles I blown with my mouth. I know this is a tradition, but after 19 years, this is my 1st time doing it.

The candle is still hot =.=

I'm not sure if people were suppose to push your head onto the cake, but thats what my classmates intended to do... Didn't work on me though, I pulled out the candles too fast :P

It is then ChungWah came up with the ridiculous idea of taking out the flower decorations on the cake with my mouth =.= I sort of knew what would happen next, but hey, its still in a classroom, its someone else's table, we might not wanna make a mess right?

I was wrong.

I was cake-smacked =.=

Pushed bare-handed by SauFei, Melvin and ChungWah... Just wait, your birthdays are not over...

But you gotta admit, it tasted quite good ^^

Next is the usual being-fed-by-others and feeding-other-people moments barehanded. Some people just can't stand the taste of my hand...

Later, instead of being showered by gifts, I was practically showered =.= Some girl *COUGH*huiyee*COUGH* tried helping me 'clean' up the mess on my shirt, and well, water is the essential reagent in cleaning. So, I helped her clean hers to, but not with water, with frosting :P

Thina on the other hand, practically poured half a bottle of water on me. Thanks to him, I looked as if I just stepped out of the shower =.= He is just lucky there are too many obstacles in my class, or I'll land a cauldron of syrup on him...

This year, I thought I was gonna have the most boring birthday ever, with 2 tuitions on the real day. Well, I was wrong. It was probably the most enjoyable birthday I ever had 19 years living. Every year its the usual dinner with my family. This year, at least there is a twist, and it changed for the better. Its been quite a while since I laughed so much...

Last but not the least, GIFTS!

Thanks guys! I cherish every moment I had on that day, and it will be hard to forget those moments... Well, it is the 1st time I got cake-smacked so.....

Breakaway

I have a lot of thoughts. Thoughts, that may be, or may not be reality.

I've always dreamed my life to be adventurous, travelling from state to state, country to country, planet to planet, and henceforth...

I've always dreamed myself in a world of magic, just like those Harry Potter series, or even better. Being in a world able to cast magic in a flick of a finger, thats actually pretty cool. Being able to teleport everywhere in a blink of an eye, being able to heal wounds without medication, being able to burn your enemies and most importantly, fly...

I've always dreamed myself living in a virtual world where everything is so simple, like The Sims or Harvest Moon. If finding a job, relationship, apartment/house, making friends and even opening a conversation to other strangers so so so easily, I would give up everything I have now for it... Okay, maybe that was insane, but a life as a farmer, planting crops, selling crops, helping your neighbourhood village, running free in your farm and build your own family... Ahhh... what bliss...

I've always dreamed myself as a warrior (even when I know its impossible with my physical capability...) on a very LOOOOOOOOOOONG long quest, fighting dragons, monsters, recruiting members into the team, saving a princess, mastering new skills, travel across the sea and henceforth. As short, its nice to be a main character in an RPG game, seriously. Got slashed, scratched or kicked by your enemy, and still standing. No blood, no wound, no injury. Just scream OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUCCCCCHHHHHHHH and when a person heals you with magic, you're cured.

Okay, enough about these virtual reality nonsense, now its back to this cruel world;

I've always dreamed about living near the sea or a river, with a small patch of soil for plantation, and a small hut to live in. When I am hungry, I would just walk to my garden and luck some vegetables. When I need meat, I'll just catch some fish. Yes, to all of you readers who are laughing your ass off right now, I DO fantasize these sort of living, even though some may think this is WAY too much for me to handle. These, actually, is a pretty stress free life.

I've always dreamed about being one of the royalties related by blood, meaning, a prince. I have always wondered what their life is about. Etiquette classes? Polo lessons? Horse-riding practices? And most importantly, how do they manage to adapt into country administration so well? Do they have tutors or a book called How-To-Rule-Your-Country 101? But still, their lives are always a mystery, things that we, normal pitiful citizens see may not reflect their living. I may dream about living among prince and princesses, but I don't really hope to have that kind of life in me.

I've always dreamed about living in another country besides Malaysia, staying in a mini-apartment whereas the bedroom is practically the living room, and have a job that is enough to cover all my expanses and perhaps some pocket money and savings.

I've always dreamed about living the life our far ancestors do. Hunting own food, planting own vegetables, raising own animals, and henceforth. If that were to be true, I would not be so physically unavailable in most sports. I would be able to run miles and miles and miles and not break a sweat. I would be able to lift boulders that are 50 times beyond my capability. I would be able to experience a WHOLE lot more than the 'stuck-on-normal-daily-routine' life I'm having right now.

Oh why, oh why, am I here in this time?

Oh why, oh why, am I here in this place?

Oh why, oh why, am I here in this state?

Being stuck on the boring daily routine and being forced into taking the VERY LIMITED TO NONE option-ed education system, not being able to know what I wanna do in the future, exposed to the world of betrayal and back-stabbers, being used over and over again... Seriously, life sucks.

If only the administrator of the after-life would give me a choice for my next life, I would be SOO happy...

Right now, I'd like to pray that I dream of myself being in a virtual world as I described above, be it a warrior, a farmer, or a magician, and never wake up...
