3rd route.

What do you know?
In a blink of eye, the chores and works of the day have brought us standing, facing to the end of February. What have we done this month? Did we appreciate time??? Did time appreciate our company???
February isn't the only thing that seems to be fading away, the songs of 2010's Chinese New Year is going be put a stop too. Usually, when an object moves ahead, other things around would appear to be moving back wards if they are stationary. But now it's different. Time is the one moving ahead without hesitation and showing no mercy to the one who didn't appreciate it. Are we, or, am I the one running beside time with acceleration or constant velocity??? Or am I lagging behind? This subject has placed me into pondering for many times. Worries was the outcome. Why is that every time I think about my progress I won't have the satisfaction??? Maybe it's the nature of mankind who are never satisfied or contented over their achievement. If that's the problem, I might as well forget about it.

Standing and waiting at the doorstep of March, I suddenly feel afraid and a little embarrass to knock on the door. The main thing I am afraid about is to know who might be the one opening the door, allowing me to enter and walk a long path of 31 days. However, a little courage was required to take the first step. All I would do, for now, is to stand at the first entrance, asking myself which route to take, which risks to abandon. This the worst part. Terrifying by my own choice, I tend to resort to another less better route. I tend to escape. The alternate and only route to escape is by doing lame things which is never beneficial. That, would be detrimental in general. Thus, while knocking at the doorstep, I have placed the fullest determination in me to be brave and wise at all cost. No matter how hard or tough the road may be, it would not deter me from my progress.

And thus is the premonition and promise I have for myself before entering the door...

FIRST BLOOD

Today in school was a total waste of time. out of nine periods, six periods were without teacher. Gosh... Lame.. Six!!! And that is for about 5 hours. Terrible. I spent most of time sleeping with Brandon and Thomas. Don't get the wrong idea that we are lazy. We were just exhausted due to the hectic schedule we had yesterday. Talking about yesterday, I was really busy and tired. After school, I went to tuition which left me around 30mins of rest. After tuition, I went straight to my school for the house practise. I was selected to run for 4 X 100m. Well, it wasn't just ere running. I ran a lot. I continued on playing basketball and by the time everything came to anend, I was soulless. My leg was injured and I didn't feel like doing anything that night. And so that's why I slept a lot at school this morning.
Then, I read my story book which I brought there: Eldest. It is a great book which is an extension of the book Eragon. I covered about 100 pages today, satisfied.
I experienced some phenomena today, causing me to feel disgusted. I told myself, friends could be so disappointing at some times. I thought about my two friends whom I thought were close to me and yet by fact they are actually very far from where I am. Trying hard to push those thoughts aside, I concentrated on my first lesson of the day : Add Math.
And so, after that one and only beneficial lesson I had for the day, time flew. From 11.10am to 10.15pm.
All right, for your information, today is Tze Yang's birthday. Tze Yang is my new friend I encountered at the start of this year, which was not long ago. Thought the duration doesn't seem to be convincing, our friendship extended far beyond anybody's imagination. He is a simple guy and appreciates help from friends. This characters of his really pleases me a lot. Some people, or you can say friend, they don't CARE how much you help them. As long as you intentionally or accidentally offend them, they would be your enemy at all costs. Such people are suitable for only one word: NoOob. This was one of the things that I was thinking about ealier. But this Tze Yang, he is totally different which allows him to earn my respect and concern as a friend. And so, while he is a true friend to me, I thought of ways to celebrate for him. It so happen that today he has tuition near my place which ends at 10.15pm. So I got everything prepared, including informing his mum secretly to fetch him a little bit late for the surprise party I planned.

When the time arrived, everything went smoothly. The were all together four of us who celebrated with him: Thomas, Brandon, Xin Kai and I. Too bad Yik Xiang couldn't join us. His mum insisted that he returned home early. Sad~
We ate the ice cream cake with fun and joy. We made jokes around and everyone enjoyed it. Later on we had a game to determine who is the noob one. KAKA... We switched on the computer. The game which we bet on was Defend of the Ancient. KAKA.. The rule is that who couldn't get first blood in 5 mins would be called NOOB. KAKA.. And so we played. The mode is aromneng.. ( dota kaki can only understand this ^^ )
Xin Kai got Chen, Holy Knight. HAHAAHAHAHAHA... He was complaining and whining but we didn't care about it. KAKAKA.. And so after 5 mins, he didn't get anything. HAHA... NOOB number 1!!!
Then it's my turn. I got Nerubian Assassin. Great hero for quick shot. I got first blood in 3 mins. HAHA.. pro pro pro
Then it was Thomas's turn to play. Brandon and I were like sniggering behind him. Hehe.. He got Tiny. Fortunately, he obtained double damage and with his arcane ring, he got first blood within 5 minutes.
Then Tze Yang. He wasn't that good but we didn't laughed or said anything as worst as what we said to Xin Kai. He, too, didn't get first blood.
Now the last one, Brandon. HAHA.. This guy is proud of his skill on this game. He even have the confidence to win FX. Ignorance. haha.. Things turned out differently. He got Tiny, like Thomas but he was first blooded. You got the meaning?? He was killed instead of him killing the enemy. HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH.. VERY FUNNY!!!!!! Supper noob!!!!!!!!!
But there weren't any competitive motion among us, we just did it for fun.

Too bad, time waits for no one. It was time for us to head home and so we surrendered.

We had great time together though the duration wasn't that satisfying. On the way home, I had some thoughts. This friend, I just know for about 2 months and yet he can be so nice and good. Instead, other friends who know me for about 5 or 8 years, didn't care at all for what I do or whether I am dead or alive. Nah~ Those are useless friends. In times of joy, their existence could be very significant but in times of sorrow and help, they couldn't be seen . It's a shame that I wasted my time and trust for people like them.

Well, those were the days when I was young and naive....

Things we do... People we know

Chinese New Year.
The reunion dinner was great, only that the dishes were really too much. But none of them taste bad. hahaha...
Now is the first day of CNY. Going to KL later at 6am. Quite looking forward to it.
I just came back from my friends home. First, I went to Jun Kai's house. Actually, I wasn't invited to his house. It's just that I went to Suan Khai's house and it so happened he was on his way to Jun Kai's house. And so I went along. Fortunately, I was welcomed warmly cause I really did feel bad by going uninvited. Well, I haven't been to his house before and so I was quite anxious. The first thing that shocked me was my popularity among his family. Gosh!!! His mother and sister knew me!!! Funny~ I can't believe me. They were like, oh this is Lucas. Wakakaka. How did they know me? It's still an unanswered question. ^^

We had a great time there. I met up with Jian Hao and Yu Bin. All together there were 9 of us but the number did not deter Jun Kai's lovely mother to welcome us like we were VIP's. We ate steamboat there. Once again, I ate the most. WAkakaka... His mother's cooking was superb. The only thing I regretted about was that I already had my dinner. T.T

After a good meal, all of us decided to go over to Suan Kai's house. And so, some of us ride motorcycles and some of them cycle bicycles. Again, we had great fun there but this time we didn't eat anything. Instead, we talked a lot. That's when I started to really know Jian Hao and Yu Bin even though we had been in the same school for the past 4 years. I regretted for my actions over the past few years. I took them as "pondan" and by doing so, I hardly respected them. That was a wrong thing to do but somehow that was me back then. After the gathering at Suan Kai's house, I get to know that actually they are nice friends, especially Jian Hao. I couldn't believe that he was so warm and nice. Haha. I made a mistake which I am quite sure I won't repeat again.

Then, we went outside, going around aimlessly . It was about 11.30pm then. We were afraid that parents would not be so happy if go home late so we headed home. Everyone went home except for Thomas, Eric and I. With me fetching Eric, we went to Jalan Victoria by going through Jalan Atas. That route was definitely dark. We were intimidated by the sudden darkness but our curiosity got the better of us. After that road only I knew that there was a new residential area by the name of Taman Victoria. Funny, that name was nostalgic. I was suddenly trapped in EmoNESS but just for a split second. It's behind me, I should let go. Hehehe..

Upon that, we put a stop for our trip.
It was 12am.......

^^

Even though there was something big today in my school, my mood was the same, before and after the whole thing. I didn't feel exceptionally happy or sad, just .... cold.
I brought my piano to the school. Again, everyone gave me that peculiar and unfriendly look. I was used to it, so I wasn't bothered.
The "motivasi" talk was useless. Seriously, I can go on-line and get more information than that lady gave us. Total waste of time. Never mind, let's skip that lame part. ..



Then the singing competition started. The P.A system was terrible. My school is total lameness so everything inside is also total lameness. The mikes were problematic. Nah~ Skip that also. My turn to present, with some of my friends. I thought I could have a nice presentation but my piano turned out to be quite terrible. The sound was "geli" and not as I expected. Whatever~ I just did my best, I knew it wasn't enough. Haiz. One thing I am proud of, is for Yineng. He had improved a lot. I still remembered that day when I asked him whether he wanted to learn guitar. He was still hesitating until I urged him to learn. And so he did . After two years, he can play like a star on the stage. I am really proud of him felt happy for him at the same time. But I knew pretty well that the main reason he wanted to be on the stage was because of one major person.... hehehe.. right Neng??? ^^

And so... Everything went smoothly.
After everything, we got the third. I wasn't at all pleased with it. If only we have an acoustic piano with us, I would ruled. hahahahaha.. And yet, we let a small girl get the champion.. lame.. T.T
So that's all.. haha..

Thanks everyone....
Hillary: I would always believe in you.. don't worry. hahaha
