Joshua + Fan =...???

Okay, Firstly, It Is Really Pure Chance That I Get To Post About This. Yes, A Crappily Fateful Encounter That's Not Made Up. Secondly, To The People Involved, Blame My Boredom And My Eyes, Which Get Exceptionally Shard During These Boring Times.

What Happens When You Merge 2 Of My Classmates, Namely Joshua And Fan Together?
...
...
...
A Primary School Kid Called Joshua Fan!!! -.-'

I Myself Could Not Believe My Eyes When I First Saw This Kid At SS2's McD. How It Happened?

Well, It's A Friday, And As We All Know On Fridays, Still Schooling People Get To Leave At Roughly 12.30, Which Was About The Time I Arrived There For Lunch. With All The School Uniforms And PE T-Shirts, None Of Them Really Stood Out; They, Some With Their Parents, Occupied Like 1/2 Of The Restaurant, With The Other 1/2 Being Casual Diners Like Myself And More Formally Dressed, Middle-Aged People Discussing Business With Their Laptops And PDAs Around. So I Queued At The Counter, Waiting For My Turn. All Was The Usual Nothing-Is-Gonna-Be-Happening Kind Of Situation Until I Saw A Very Attention-Attracting Name Tag On A Blur-Looking Young Guy. There's Nothing Special About The Name Tag Itself, But What Caught My Eyes Was The Name On It.

The Name On The Tag Was...

(Drums Rolling)

"Joshua Fan"

And That Almost Got Me Laughing Out Loud. If Only Joshua And Fan Were There To See It. And Yeah, The Kid Had Taman Sea's School Badge On His Uniform.

Adieu To Y'all. And Especially To Joshua And Fan (And Maybe To Joshua Fan As Well XD) You Guys HAVE GOT TO CHECK THIS OUT!!! XD

All The Way To...

"Let's Go All The Way To Hell"
Dante, Devil May Cry 2


Tomorrow's The Maths Exams And I'm Still Bored (And Steamed) To Death, Thanks To The Heat And (Un)Happenings That's Really Brought Me To The Edge. Add A Wildly Unstable Memory That Loves To Fly To Painful Pasts To That And I'm As Close To Being Pushed Off As Can Be. Studies??? Yeah, That Too, Has Pushed Be Off The Edge, But Adds A Bungee Rope That Feels Like It's Snapping Soon Into The Situation. The End Of Exams, However, Could Mean One Of 2 Things: The Bungee Rope Actually Snapping/Someone(Or Something For That Matter) Pulled Me Up Before That, But Leaving My Energy-Drained Self On Edge.

Starting To Doubt My Course Of Life. Hell,I'm Even Starting To Doubt My Reason To Stay Alive. What Was Like The Perfect Plan Suddenly Seemed So Flawed, What Seemed Like Something Especially Worth Having Becomes Like Every Other Thing Once You Have It (And Yeah, Damn You, Temptation). Yes, I Admit, I Crave For Almost All Things New In The Field Of Technological Advancements, Which Are More Often Than Not(Or Rather, Always, Without Fail) Expensive. Especially When It Comes To SonyEricsson Phones. And When I Thought I Saw One That Really Marked A Milestone In Mobile Phone Technology, Well, Lets Just Say I Get Disappointed.

And I'm Losing My Passion For Poetry. Sorry People, Will Try To Relight The Dimming Fire. It's Been 2 Months Since I Last Wrote And Now It's So Difficult To Complete One. Yes, I'm Writing Again, But I've Only Managed To Complete 1/2 Of My Usual Poems' Length. I'm Thinking I Must've Banged My Head Somewhere So Badly That The Production Of Creative Juiced Just Ceased, And Somehow The Motivation Is Gone With It.

Well, Adieu To Y'all. And Good Luck For The Finals, And Hope To See Y'all Again.

Trinity???

Today Would've Been Another Uneventful Day Like Any Other If It Weren't For A Very Amusing (Amazing, Even) Encounter With A Middle-Aged Lady While Waiting For A Bus (Of All The Things To Find Amusing, You Might Be Thinking, But Read On).

The Scenario:
It Was 12 Noon When I Packed My Stuff To Be Brought To PJ Today. Thinking I'd Get A 1/2-Priced Lunch Set Again Today, I Headed Out To The Bus Stop Closest To Home. I Needn't Wait Long Before The Said Lady Walked Up To Me. That's When I Began Feeling Amused.

The Following Dialogue Was In Cantonese...
Lady : Is Today The 22nd? (Flashes 'Bus Ticket')



Ian : Uh... Yeah, But... (Stares At 'Ticket')
Lady: Oh, Then Take It. (Hands 'Ticket' Over, Smiles And Walks Away)
Ian : But... Wait...(Offers RM2 Already At Hand)
Lady: Never Mind That. Just Take It (Smiles Again And Continues Walking)
Ian : (Wow...) Thanks A Lot...!


And My Bus Arrived The Moment I Lost Sight Of Her.

Throughout That Bus Ride, Stuff Like "Thanks A Lot Auntie", "Was That An Angel In Disguise???" And "What Good Did I Do This Morning To Deserve This?" Were Running About In My Head.

And If Y'all Notice I've Finally Got A Picture Here, Well, As I Promised. Pictures Shall Now Appear Every So Often.

Adieu To Y'all. Hope Y'all Will Be Blessed By An 'Angel' Soon Too XD

Sucks To Be Me

For All Reasons Already Known To Y'all, And Especially So Today, When Life Just Tore Itself In Half And Hid One Half Somewhere I Can't Find It.

Sad That So Many Rumours About The W710i Being Bad Are True, Just Like How Windows ME Was (And Still Is) The Worst Windows Ever Existed. Imagine You Were In My Shoes, Listening To Your Favourite Tunes When Suddenly All The Stuff In Your Memory Stick Just Puffs Away. Worse Yet, Some Of The Tunes Were Getting Rarer And Rarer, Its Close To Impossible To Find Them Anymore, And It Is These Rare Files That Were Exclusive To My Phone!!! Not Even My Computer Has Them!!!

And Why It Sucks To Be Me In This Sense? Tech-Savvy-Wannabe With Only Barely Enough Knowledge To Survive...

Oh Well, The Bright Side Of Today Was An 'All-You-Can-Eat "Luxurious" Japanese Buffet', With Wasabi Disappointingly Inferior To That Of Sushi-King. Food, However, Was Awezome; From Raw Oysters All The Way To Juicy Beef Sausages. And For RM35.75 Today, 1/2 Of The Usual Price (Some Offer For April, I Understand) Eating All That And Much More From 2p.m Till 5.30p.m.

And Watched The Thai Horror Movie Called 'Coming Soon'. Hilarious Title, With A Very Interestingly Original Storyline, And Some Parts Of It As Hilarious As The Title.

Adieu To Y'all. And Maybe Say Hi To Pictures Here Starting Tomorrow.

Dying To Live/Living To Die

This Entry/Post Will Be About The Last 3 Days Of Our Foundation, Excluding Exams Or Other Events...

Wednesday Was...
Mainly About Me Trying To Right Whatever Went Wrong, Only To Realize That They Can't Be Made Right Once Again. Well, What Can I Say? Besides Infinite Apologies, I'm Afraid There's Nothing Else That I Can Do... Not That They Matter To You Anymore, Do They? But Whatever. I Have One Final Step To Take; One That Will End It All (On My End At Least, For It Ended On Yours 1/2 A Year Ago, Didn't It?). Today Was A Reliving Of The Immense Sorrow I've Felt 2 Years Ago, During The 4 Calamities Of 2007, And I Owe It To The Both Of Us...

Thursday Was...
Quite A Turn-On. Why? Food!!! Expensive Food!!! At Less Than 1/2 Price!!! Literally!!!
No Joke. I Alone Paid A Mere 26 Bucks For A Sushi-King Meal That Would've Otherwise Cost More Than 40 Bucks (And Sated My Craving For Quality Wasabi For The Day), With A Bunch Of Pals. Competed With Jeff To See Who Could Stuff More Food Into Our Bellies, And Watching Vingent 'Enjoying' His First Ever Sushi Meal. Like Some Others, I Never Felt Hungry For The Rest Of The Day, And Even Felt A Little Bloated Upon Waking Up The Next Morning...

Friday...
So-Called Last Day, Huh... People Taking Pics With Each Other Like No Tomorrow And Suddenly Acting All Lively And Stuff... Makes You Feel That There's Something More To The Seemingly Simple Parting That People Experience In Life. But Hey, What The Heck. With The Advances Of Modern Day Technology, You'd Think It's Much Harder To Forget Close Friends Than Before, No? Besides, Who Knows If You'd Be Working Together After Graduating? Something I Personally Look Forward To...

But Hey, It's Not Over Now, Is It? I Believe That Y'all Out There Are Gonna Stay Close To Each Other, Regardless Of The Distance Between. And Hey, 3 Years Pass Before You Realize It, Just Like This Year. And I'm Sure We'll Meet Again XD

And To Commemorate This Stage In Our Lives, A Masterpiece Shall Be Brought To Life.
Adieu To Y'all Until Then XD

The Nostalgia, Sentiment And All Its Other Synonyms...

Something Just Suddenly Got Me Reading Through My MSN History Today. And What I Saw... Got My Tears Flowing...

How Did Things Turn Out This Way...?
How Did This Happen...?
What Have You Heard...?
What Did The Others Say...?
Who Was The One Who Said It...?

But I Guess None Of These Questions Matter If One Thing Is Left In The Shadows:

What Have I Done!?

Please Tell Me, What Have I Done To Repel You So From Me?
What Have I Done To Deserve Such Coldness From You?
What Was My Mistake?

You Say I'm Being Dramatic, But How?
What Have I Done That's Even Worth Trying To Get Away With?
You Ask Me To Go Ahead And Pretend Nothing Happened, But Happened, Exactly? Don't I At Least Get To Know?

I Often Blame Myself For The Slightest Discrepancy In The People Around Me, Like When Someone's Being Quiet When They Are Often The Other Way Around. This, However, Turns Me Upside Down; When I Worry Too Much, It Turns Out To Have Nothing To Do With Me, And When I Finally Choose Not To Worry, It Really Is My Fault.

For The 1st Time In My 14 Years As A Computer User I Have Tears Trickling Down Into My Keyboard Instead Of The Usual Sweat. I Doubt I'll Be Sleeping Tonight...

The 78(And Still Counting)Days Since The 21st Of January 2009 Has Been Some Of The Darkest Days In My Life, On Par With The 4 Calamities Of 2007. And When We All Thought Things Couldn't Get Any Worse, Those 'Words Of Wisdom' Just Proves Us Wrong, And Straight To The Face With A Full Focused Iron Fist.

Adieu To Y'all... This Truly Marks This Devil's Demise...

The Everlasting Sentiment... Or Is It?

The Said Topic Hasn't Really Made Any Progress Ever Since The Tickets Were Distributed For Sale To Us 'Committee Members'. Why? Coz... It's Merely Distributed To Us, And Much Is Left Unclear Before We Can Confidently Sell Them Off Without Doubt Or Worry. It's A Mess For Now, But Lets Hope That, Like Every Other Event, This Mess Will Be Made A Miracle In It's Final Stages.

Time For A Little Back-Tracking...

Monday Was Hilarious. When I Think Of This Day I Think Of Romeo And Juliet. Weird, Yes, I Know And I Think So Too. But If You Were In My Shoes, You'd Surely Agree.
The Girls had Their Breakfast/Lunch At SP Corner While Us Guys Went To The PD Block Canteen As Usual. Just That On The Way, Some Joke That Fate May Be Playing Just Happened To Place People Into Positions That Just Bring Such A Scenario Into Mind. As We All Know That SP's 'Dining' Area Is Slightly Elevated, So When We Passed By, Fan Remembered He Had Something To Tell Le-Anne. So He Called Her From The Sidewalk. She Came, Leaning On The Railings Of The Platform. I Don't Know If I Was Hallucinating Or My Imaginations Just Gone Wild, But The People Around Suddenly Blurred Away And The Scene Transformed Slowly Into A Very Medieval Setting; Complete With The Castles And Drawbridges And Such.

No Offence You Two. Just That Now Whenever I See Both Of You Talking To Each Other It Reminds Me Of The Day; And If Fan Raised His Hand Like He Was Reaching For Something, I Would've Just Burst Into Laughter. If Only I Had A 5.0 Megapix Cam, I'd Be Eagerly Wanting To Show You How I Felt, Literally. XD

Something To Note Recently: Digression Has Been A Norm For The Past Few Weeks And Being Direct Seems Like A One Way Trip To Humiliation Hell. Why Is It So? Wouldn't We All Wonder... But In The End, I Guess No One Save Me Gives A Damn Because Everyone Resorts To That, Whether They Realize It Or Not (Sadly That Includes Me As Well)

The 2nd Cold War Seems To Have Died Down And I See Them Joking With Each Other Already Today. Don't Know If It's Just Another Masquerade Or What But I Sure Hope It's Not. Maybe I Ought To Get The Details From Them About How They Sorted Things Out So Peacefully. When's Mine Gonna End? Had A Chance Today But Blew It(Or Rather, More Like Missed It Or Didn't Take It). Hope I Get Such Chances Everyday.

The Clock Ticks On...

Something Just Crossed My Mind: The Kampar Thing Almost Got Me Thinking That Money Can Really Buy Anything; The Catch Is The More You Buy The More You Pay For Maintenance, Which Sucks In The Long Run. How Do These Relate? I'll Leave It To Your Imagination...

Adieu To Y'all. Enjoy The Upcoming Events, UTAR and No.19 Alike XD

Aloha Paranoia!!!

Mom Says I Worry Too Much...

Can't Really Help It. I'm Going To A Brand New Environment In A Month's Time, And Staying There For The Next 3 Years Of My Life. Cross The Bridge When You Get To It? Nah, I'd Wanna Find Out If It's Safe To Cross In The First Place...

In A Not-So-Distant Future, I'd Be Risking All My Remaining Sanity On Something Many Consider Pointless, Not Worth And Anything Else You Wanna Call It. Okay, A Little Ranting Here To Clear Things Up...

Many Times Fixing A Broken Object Is Something I'd Never Do; In Fact Most Of The Time If Something's Broken I'd Just Break It Even More Until It's Beyond Salvation. But If It's Something Special, I'd Die Trying To Salvage Whatever I Can. This Is What's Going On Now, And May 15th Is The Day; The Time: When The Drums Roll And All Of My Luck Is Put To The Test.

Sigh... Even These Few Mangy Thoughts Of Mine Were So Hard To Put Down In Words.

But My Personal Impossible Quest Aside, We At 19 Are Planning Something Grand For Ourselves; Something That'll Remind Us Of Our Experiences As A Family, And Hopefully An Eternal Friendship. Hope We All Do Our Best. 頑張って、みな!!!

Adieu To Y'all. Gotta Do Stuff That'll Shock Even Myself...

Operation Snake Eater

The Cold War Between The West And The Soviet Union Was Quite An Example Already Of How Bad Ignoring One Another Can Be. But Then The Scale Gets Smaller, The Degree Of Coldness Actually Gets Worse.

Down To The Individual Level, It Can Even Be Contagious. The Hate Of One Person Towards Another Can Spread To Others And To The Extend Of Choosing To Suffer Than To Accept Help From The 'Cold Enemy'. Ironic How Hatred Can Bring Such Sporadic Eccentricities To The Behaviour Of People. Not To Mention The Perfectly Performed Facades On Certain Occasions; So Well Played You Wouldn't Notice The True Cold War Behind Those Seemingly Friendly Conversations.

Pokémon Somehow Dominated 1/4 Of The Campus Day Today, From Suitable Levels For Clearing Each Gym Badge To The ___est(Thinnest, Fattest, etc.) Pokémon. I Sincerely Apologize If My Lifelessness Has Spread To Those Involved In The Topic Today.

Adieu To Y'all. Hope My Lifelessness And The Cold War Stop Spreading Further Than It Already Has...
