Where'd all the happiness go?

Am i really that bad. i don't see her for 14hrs during the day. the moment she comes back home, walks up, sees me on the com n starts yelling at me. i knw the exams are arnd the corner n shit. but i've alr got some1 to help me. i cant do wht ever she wants me to do till whoever i've asked to help me gets back to me.

its not like i was playing Prototype or on facebook when she walked up. i was just watching the only damn anime i watch every week. 25 mins a week. 1 show that i actually follow diligently..

walks up, starts yelling at me. i saw her at 6 in the morn. for roughly abt a total of 1.5mins aft i woke up.

she comes back home. i see her again for abt the same amt of time. this time she starts yelling n nagging. n then she locks herself in the damn room n cries.

IS IT FAIR TO ME THAT I HAVE THAT EFFECT ON MY OWN GOD DAMN MOTHER.

she didnt catch me doing drugs. she didnt catch me wanking off to some whore getting boned on my com. she didnt catch me smoking a stash. I WAS WATCHING 1 DAMN VIDEO. ANIME. JAPANESE CARTOON. CAR-FUCKING-TOON.

i might as well jus hang myself if i cause people that much pain in 3 mins a day

i am their only son. i cant give a flying fuck abt dad (story for another day), but my mom. i knw they work to keep me "alive" n shit. but is it really worth it if in the fucking end i still feeling like dying...

i found out that some1 has been spying on my FB acct n telling my parents things like wht i write on my status, or wht comments i get on my wall. so i turned my privacy settings up to only where my friends can view my activity. i think they lost the ability to follow my activities. but today, i cant give a fuck anymore. i turned it back dwn. so that everyone can see wht i write. I WANT THEM TO SEE IT! then they'll knw wht the fuck i am going thru. u want to see it? go right ahead. i mean, if they like wht they see so much, who am i to take away that 'pleasure' from them. in fact, i think i'll give em wht they want.

too all of u guys out there who actually read this all the way to the end, you are much loved. truely. but pls. im putting this up here not for every1 to read n ask me abt it nor foru to read n spread the word. im putting this up here coz this is 1 avenue for me to throw everything into. n maybe 1 day, hopefully, i'll be able to look back at this page n see how fucked up my life was. i jus dont want u guys to read this n ask me if im feeling okay all the time or treat me like a suicidal maniac even if i actually am 1.

thank you.

1 heck of an intersting week

2008-06-16T04:39:00.000-07:00

WOW!!!
seriously... WOW!!!

this week has been great. most of the time quite quiet... but when it happens, IT HAPPENS!!!

well
the week started out all quiet and all. the average, typically normal week. but i was kinda busy... coz i was looking and thinking of the perfect place to bring sm1 out...

well, u see... i kinda asked this girl out [you guys don't really nd to knw who exactly she is... all tht i can say is tht she MIGHT be frm my french class ;D ]... and she made things so much "easier" by asking for smth special... when i ask a girl out, i make it a point to make it as special as i possibly can... but when tht girl asks for the "SPECIAL", its only natural tht i have to make it even more special than i had intended it to be...(in other words... "bend backwards" *don't get me wrong... i love making them feel tht way*)
at 1st, i was quite clueless abt wad to do and all tht (coz she asked me prepare smth special... and knwing me, i jus HAD to out-do myself...)... so the whole week b4 tht eventful thursday night was devoted to finding a good place to bring her to... tht was until i was "clued" on tuesday... she told me *wasnt really told, was more like hinted* tht she wanted smth dessert-like... so i had to change my search criteria, but it was a very welcomed change...

so i found this nice quiet joint @ The Cannery... i knw wad ur thinking... "The Cannery??? Quiet???"... but it was... nt many people actually patronized tt cafe... food was good. nt too expensive too : )

this was the bill from tt night : )

Well... Don't expect me to publish wad exactly happened that night (i don't kiss & tell. *that does NOT mean i kissed her... its an EXPRESSION!!!*)

All i can safely say is tt both of us had a great night : ).

it went bk to normal aft tt...
then, on saturday... smth happened to my laptop...

everytime i try to log onto my own acct... give me this crap... "'Profile Loader Service' service cannot be loaded"(isn't tht like the most repetitive crap u've heard)...

so im bringing her dwn to HP service centre tmr...

had my math tuition on sat... Got good reviews *as usual : P*

Sunday was FATHER'S DAY!!!
so got together with the family and went dwn to East Coast Park. Ate there and went for a dip in the sea... salt water and my sensitive facial skin... NOT A GOOD COMBINATION AT ALL!!!
came outta the water and it started stinging like hell...

i came hm... got showered dwn... got changed... and i called her : )
went up to my roof and sat there talking to her until the weee hrs *it WAS alr quite late when we started*... when she put dwn the phone(accidentally), i deceided to get bk into my room and get settled in for bed... the all of a sudden mom comes bull-dozing thru my door. so Naturally i got really pissed... and i kinda, sortta, maybe, jus happen to... take it out on HER *nt my mom, u nincompoop... the other "her"* i was really really harsh in the SMSes tht followed. i knew she was jus fooling arnd. but i got all serious and 'str' and said smths i really didn't mean to say... so i felt really really bad tt night and cldn't slp at all (kept waking up every 15- 20 mins)... so im really really REALLY sorry for wht ever i said and hope tht she forgives me... coz i really like her and hope tht we cld stay friends for a very long time : )

well thats all i got for u guys this time
i Will see u agn :)

The storm while u were asleep

2008-06-05T21:21:00.000-07:00

Wow... i didn't realize it had been tt long since i even looked at my blog page... let alone update it...

As u people can tell... I've been busy... really busy. Since school started, it's been non stop, over the top studying and learning new stuff... *YEAH RIGHT*...

Its the end of the 1st term and so i'd thought update my blog.

apparently not many of my friends knw i even have a blog (maybe coz i din really tell any1 had 1)...

so recently i've been getting tags frm people saying tt they din knw i had a blog and blah... blah... blah...
SO TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO JUST FOUND OUT I HAD A BLOG, LINK ME SO OTHERS WILL FIND OUT TOO!!!

Back to moi,

i went mountain biking with Sha(fiq) and eugene on sunday. Deceided to road test my new bike. Since it cost me close to $900, i told myself "it BETTER be good"... and it WAS. in fact, i think i took more of a beating than my bike did...
i still got all my bruises as proof.
but mountain biking is HARD, HARD work (as eugene found out)... really took alot outta me (but more outta eugene) at Bt Timah Hill...
Eugene was literally pushing his bike up the 1st few slopes *i think coz he saw me fall... I DIN JUS FALL, I DID A SOMERSAULT!!! aft tt he kenna phobia alr la*. i tried to be nice and wait for him aft each small hill, but aft 3 or 4 ups n downs, it kinda got irritating. he was jus too slow. so Fiq and i went on ahead without him. along the way we stopped for short breaks n to take photos of the beautifel scenery. he managed to catch up abit in tt time... close to the end of the trail. i actually slipped of the the path and fell abt 10m dwn the side of the hill. lucky for me another biker saw my bike lying close to the side of the path and stopped to see if there was any1 there. he called out. i called bk. he saw me, helped me out and the rest is history....
aft the whole trip rnd Bt Timah hill, we came bk to the vistors centre and i did a stock check on all the bruises and cut i had got... my right leg had cuts all over the place, had a deep cut on my left elbow had scratches on my balls *Don't ask me how they got there. COZ I DON'T KNOW!!!* and load of small bumps all over my body, my chin n head... BUT THATS Y THE BIKING TRIP WAS SO DAMN BLOODY FUN!!!

moving on....

how has poly-life been i heard sm of u guys ask?
well... its been good. making (present tense) alot of new friends, getting to knw new things tt i'd thought i'd find very boring but im kinda warming up to my course and all tt...

i had my common tests at the beginning of the week.
started off with ELTECH(electrical engineering), EGMATHS(engineering mathematics), ENGMEC(engineering mechanics) and FRENCH *yes, i'm learning french*...

honestly speaking, among all my modules in my course, the biggest prob i find is THE ENGLISH MY LECTURERS USE IS TERRIBLE!!!

i can actually feel myself letting go of my A1 standard english.. its slowly slipping away frm me. im scared tt by the end of yr 3, i'd be like the typical engineer whose command of the english language has been completely flushed dwn the drain... and learning french is jus not helping my english in anyway, even though it, too, is a language.

the friends i have made thus far are great too. my classmates are the horniest bunch of female deprived guys i have ever met. I SAY FEMALE DEPRIVED COZ THERE IS ONLY 1 GIRL IN MY CLASS NOW AND, no offence Noel, BUT WE'RE NOT EVEN SURE SHES A GIRL IN THE 1ST PLACE... so the guys in my class turn to friendster for their male "needs" *sad rite, tt they turn to FRIENDSTER, of all places*...

im just slowly getting to knw the people in my french class. i only knw a few rite now, Nicole, Eugene, Eunice, Mas... still haven't really gotten to knw the rest yet, slowly...
i was supposed to go out ith my ENTIRE french class on tuesday, but "stangely", no1 could make it at the last minute... So i ended up going out with jus Nicole. n i had a wonderful time. the movie was a very nice movie abt life. Le Papillon, tts the title. the company was great. went out for dinner with nicole aft tt. got to knw her alot better.
Strangely but Sadly, the movie din really help much in the next day's french oral test...

So, ive been sitting at hm doing nth since yesterday (coz im kinda outta $$$... SHHHHHH, dun tell any1...)

so tt brings me all the way bk here, me in front of my laptop, publishing this post

until the next post then

Au revouir, a tout à l’heure and bonne nuit :)

Awakening the Dead

2008-04-11T22:13:00.001-07:00

The dead refering to my blog...

Sorry I hadn’t updated my blog page for so damn long... jus tt I cldn’t find the time( or the attitude) to update it... esp. since I had written a 3k wrd ESSAY on my Freshmen Orientation Camp (FOC) 2 wks bk...

In short,

THE CAMP WAS GREAT!!!

Started off kinda slow n boring, esp. on the 1^st day...

But on the 2^nd day it really picked up... made new frnds, had ALOT of fun and got really REALLY dirty ...

But the camp was only the beginning of a great frendship with my new frens.

We were alr planning to mt up even b4 the camp had ended.

And last Sunday the whole FOC went dwn to sentosa... to have sm fun in the sun, with the beach, the babes n the hunks J

Last 2 days I’ve been having orientation programs with my course n class ppl... quite cool

At 1^st my class seemed a lil’ quiet n quite lame, so to speak, but aft u get to now them, they’re quite alrite

But I’m more nervous abt sch

IT’S STARTING ON MONDAY!!!

Jus hope all goes well for the nxt 3 yrs

Reasons, excuses, evasions

1st up on the blog roll

2008-03-22T09:24:00.000-07:00

I’ve been wondering... what is so damn nice abt blogging... so guess what... I DECIDED TO START BLOGGING MYSELF!!

Seems like I’ve just had more than my fair share of action in my once boring life... So I’ve decided to share it with the rest of the world. It’ll give me a chance to express myself [+ help me keep my good English grades up till I start sch :P]

I’m a man of action – True... but when it comes to expressing myself in the form of words, I tend to write alot... so if my post seem very long n stuff... please take the time to read ‘em... YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTEDJ

So heres my very 1^st post (even though I had 2 other “very 1^st post”)

As most of u can tell frm my URL (ONLY ONCE A WEEK.blogspot.com) n my blog title (The WEEKLY bugle) I’m only gonna be posting once a wk... dun go awww... I know how most of u out there feel... I know all of u want to read abt wad a I got to say n want to know more abt my life. But dun be discouraged, coz I promise u tt I will have news for u at least once a wk ( unless my life is TT boring tt even in an entire wk, nothing has happened... but sm times it can come dwn to tt). But I doubt tt we will be having such problems , esp since my 1^st term in Ngee Ann poly is abt to start arnd the corner... soon... eventually... all I have to do now is, well, wait.. I guess.

But this wk has been a hell of an action packed roller coaster ride. (well... nt all the way, but the parts that were exciting were worth it)

Wednesday

I got up nice n early to go to NP to submit my Freshmen Orientation Camp form. They said I needed to go down personally during the laptop sales period. So, there I was, got up @ 830 so I wld be able to reach NP by 11. Spent close to 2 hrs on the damn bus. Finally reached NP. Had a nice stroll up the hill to where the fair was going on. So I saw the booth for the form submission, but there was 1 prob. No... nt tt there was no 1 there... every1 was there... the thing was, they were all sitting in a circle n chatting away... kinda seemed like their ‘shop was closed’.

So I made me way up to them n asked 1 of the girls... “Excuse me.. is this where we submit the forms for the FOC?”

She said “yeah... go str dwn to tt guy at the end of the table...”.

So I walked up to him... asked the bro... “ can I submit my form for the FOC...”

Dude took 1 look at me and said “sorry bro.. we’re all maxed out... we took our last applicant yesterday...”

So, naturally, I was like... WTF!!! U give us time until today... then now u come n tell me ur all MAXED OUT???

So I gave him my ol’ “screw you” smile... n walked away...

As I was walking out... I saw tt girl, the 1 hu told me to go see that guy. Well, I got to thinking... if these guys were maxed out YESTERDAY... WHY THE HELL DID SHE ASK ME TO GO SEE THE GUY AT THE END OF THE TABLE???

So I jus left the sch... thinking I wld jus go hm, sit in frnt of my trusty ol’ Mac n jus forget abt it all...

I was jus passing by AMK Hub when I realized I needed to go get smth, for my desk. So I decided to go for it. Alighted frm the bus, went up to the 2^nd floor, looked arnd... AND THE DAMN SHOP WAS CLOSED!!! ( at this point u must be thinking I must be 1 heck of an up-tight, wound-up, ticking time bomb ready to explode kinda guy... but im nt... jus having a bad day)

So I stood there, thinking, “what do I do now. I dun wanna go bk hm so early, plus I need to go get my own lunch”

Thats when I remembered that there was a Cathay on the top floor...

So I went to watch Step Up 2... (thats right... ALONE)

The movie was great... the story line was almost non-existent but the moves on these guys are far out!!! But u know wad was the best part?

I HAD THE WHOLE THEATER TO MYSELF!!!

There was absolutely no1 else... NO ONE!!!

It was like a private screening for me... but at 1230 on a Wednesday aft in AMK Hub.... I din really think there WLD be any1 else...

Well, half way thru the movie, I got a sms frm my dad – pls come down to simei mrt stn at 250. We’re going to sign vynesh annan’s (tts my cousin – hes jus starting his flight education with SIA) bond. At tt point I was like “WAD??? At simei???”. So I replied him. ‘almost near hm. Having lunch’. But my dad was adamant. Sm how, he managed to convince me to come dwn.

Got on the train...

AMK stn – City Hall – simei.

Almost another 2 hours... in total.... I had spent 6 hrs n $7 on travel by public transport alone (tupid adult fair).

When I got there, met my uncle n cousin, then my dad. Went dwn to the SIA-i-dunno-what-u-call-it place...we had to go get passes to get in [security was tight]. Aft abt 5 mins, my cousin came bk n said “...they wont allow Mitts in...”

At that point I cld have blown my top... felt like screaming at my dad!!!

“U CALLED MY DOWN FRM AMK ALL THE WAY HERE TO SIT IN THE LOUNGE N READ WOMENS’ WEEKLY???”

That was it... the last straw... the spark on the fuse...

The rest of my day was jus a snow ball effect of wad had happened in the morning...

Felt so miserable...

In the end my uncle called me over to his place to watch soccer (ManU game... hahaha + the atmosphere there is better to watch soccer)

So I decided to go over n spend the night there

Thursday

So I stayed over at my uncle’s house, to watch the game... stayed up until 1+ watching... well... I can’t really remember wad I was watching... well had a short nap on the couch until the 4am game.

Well, I only stayed up until half time... game was quite boring. Decided tt the it was not worth staying up to watch the 2^nd half.

Woke up again at 9+, watched a few movies... other than that nothing much....

WELL... the real fun started at night.

I was supposed to go to Malaysia that night. On sm family tour. Me mom n dad weren’t coming with me... they had things to take care of here...

So I was all packed [brought all my things the night b4] and I was all amped up for the long trip to Penang. Left the house damn early to mt the other people frm the family hu were going.

We left the meeting point at abt 830... 45 mins off schedule (typical).

On the bus towards tuas check point, I had this sinking feeling in my gut tt smthing was rong. So I decided to check my passport...

True enough... the deadline on my NS exit permit had not been extended...

So on the bus itself I told my uncle that my permit had nt been extended n tt I might nt be able to leave the country n follow them on the tour...

Well... I alr had half a mind not to go [coz If I did I’d be the bell boy/slave to all the old ladies (my dad’s mom n her 3 other sisters)].

So I told my uncle tt if theres no way that immigration wld let me thru n I cldnt go, I’ll jus call my parents n tell them to mick me up (at this point I was thankful has ever that my folks weren’t with me).

So I got down at tuas with my bag n me n my uncle went up to 1 of the officers and asked if there was anyway... he gave a nice, assertive, firm...

“NO.”

So I was brought into the head office where there was skinny old man. The other officer alr told him tt my passport was expired n tt an escort was to be arranged for me to be brought out to the main road...

While he was calling for an escort, he asked my wad I was doing here. So I told him that my passport has expired. Then he asked this really really irritatingly stupid question

“your passport expired alr u still come here for wad?

I felt like telling him “ I came all the way here jus to make ur life miserable...”

I mean... its jus damn stupid. Well, I find it stupid... wld any1 know tt his passport was expired n STILL come all the way down jus to tell that guy tt its expired...

MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE!!!

So I waited for the escort to come n get me... called my parents... aft awhile met up with them...

THEN I FIND OUT THERES SM DAMN PROB WITH THE DAMN CAR!!!

The speedometer was out... then there were a few other probs... looked quite serious... so dad drived at a steady pace all the way back hm...

Reached hm... decided to go get sm slp...

Decided to forget everything

THATS WHEN I DECIDED TO START BLOGGING!!!
