OK...I have come to the conclusion that it's finally time to give this blog of mine a fresh new post.
Let's start with the beginning of this week.
It's(time) been passing pretty fast.
It's nearly June and I remembered how I spent my December holidays, wasting it away.
One thing I've learnt is that it cannot be repeated.
Feeling pretty low for the whole week, examination results are to blame.
How could I have ever stooped so low.
Somehow, I knew it was bound to come my way.
Been observing some people since the year started and I must say, it pays to shut up.
Exams ended on Monday.
Tuesday was jam day with Border Line.
Faiza tagged along.
Thanks, From The Band.
After a tiring jam session, we went to the KFC nearby to grab a bite.
I was so broke that my wallet stopped making those noises it usually did with coins in it.
Actually among the band, only Farhan had money.
Faiza was kinda loaded but it wasn't in my genes to ask for a treat from girls.
The whole band's food expenses were paid for by Farhan, in other words, he treated us all.
I realized that people have been saying less of these words lately, 'Thank You'.
Not that it's a must but it'll make that someone feel appreciated.
Shahril borrowed me his electric guitar....YAY!....thanks man!:)
The Next Day.
Without pouring in enough thought, I went in search of a job.
And actually managed to grab hold of one.
It was with a huge fast food restaurant chain.
Farhan recommended it to me.
I somehow felt weird with a job to my name.
It's not the job but the status of 'earning money' that irks me.
I was suppoesd to have my OJE(some form of test) for the job on Saturday.
Thursday morning, Mr. Tang announced that the X-Country would be on Saturday.
(You guys observe the clash in my schedule between work and school?)
That's one big problem with jobs.
On this day itself, I received several exam papers back.
All I have to say is that 'I'm not satisfied!'
The band expected me to do something big but I was just feeling too low to continue.
Went home and passed Shahril's electric guitar to Ariff.
Feeling so down that I basically wanted to have it off me.
So...Yes!...it's with Ariff now.
Later that day, I was invited to join Raptors FC for their training.
Initially declined but heard someone said, 'I knew it', so I just had to prove myself.
I went for it...and even played ina game.
I was the only defender, it's the only thing I'm good at.
I pretended that an intruder was about to infiltrate my property and stopping it from happening was what had to be done.
I got a fractured toe in the end.
Sorry Sam.
What actually happened was that I mistook Samuel's foot for the ball and mightily kicked it.
Fractured toe came for free.
Walked home limping...gotta say it's pretty fun getting injured once in a while.
Except for the pain, it's not that much fun.
Didn't school on Friday.
Found walking impossible, the toe was to blame.
Went online and since Farhan was online too, I made a deal to go do something important.
I had to submit a few documents to the school's office and in my Levi's jeans and blank Orange tee, I stepped in to get it done.
Received plenty of stares like I was somekind of dead man awekening.
But I must say, that was pretty fun too!.
After that, I went for my Friday prayers.
Later in the afternoon, I went my 'workplace' to submit a few important documents also.
Two important thing to do in a single day.
Made me feel like the chief of some important organization.:)
I also requested that I started work on Sunday as Junyuan was having its X-Country on Saturday.
This is also my last year in that school andI thought to myself that I just had to attend this one.
Luckily, I was granted permission.
Slept at 12.15, watching 'The Amazing Race'.
Glad 'The Hippies' won.
Have fun with the million bucks.
Woke up at 6.15 on Saturday morning.
X-Country was a blast.
Didn't win but most important was that I had fun.
Our class won 3rd in the battle of points.
Made me feel so much better except for Ariff who vomited.
Went home feeling on top of the world.
Napped from 2.30 till 9.15.
Only slept again at 1.15 after watching 'Murder By Numbers'.
It was an 'OK' movie...give it a 5.5 score.
Woke up at 6.35 to prepare myself for the job.
It was at 8.
Arrived at 7.55 and felt nervous for I'm alone.
Made a few friends.
It's just one of those thing you benefit from working in such a job.
The friends.
Friends are important to everybody so I would recommend that you hold onto that someone you still have and treat them well.
Well I failed 'OJE' and was paid for the 3 hours I worked.
Yes...It is true.
Money doesn't come easy, so treasure that too.
