Of the Boy Without a Mother on the Mother's Day
HomeComing.Honestly,i dont have much to blog about.I mean,really.Today was just plain boring.Perhaps i might just thank a few people,and tell everyone briefly on what i did or who i saw.Nevermind,forget about the "What I Did" part.That wouldve been short and boring,since i basically just sat around and played guitar and looked after the store once in a while.Anyway,the whole fun fair was pretty boring.Especially when you and your friends are incharged of the stores.Its particularly boring.Also,looking after the store and yelling at the top of your voice for customers to come is not exactly the happiest thing to do.Friends do help to release some stress and boredom,but most of the time,its just plain boring.We started off fine,with food and drinks sold at a pretty good speed.Then things slowed down,and slower,and slower,until food were sold at 1 bag per ten minutes.Business got pretty bad,and the spirit of the club dropped from Cloud Number 9 to the deepest pit of boredom.We started eating our own food and drink coke nonstop.At least i drank a lot of coke.Didnt eat much though.Took out the Acoustic guitar from the music room and played in the canteen.However,the music was so loud that i couldnt hear my own strumming.Not to mention Russell's strumming,who was then about 5 metres away.I got bored,so i walked around the school with my digital camera,to take a few photos of people around.I was wandering around when i met LiuYin,Shariffah and WanJun.I wanted them to take a photo together at first.However,LiuYin screamed,and started yelling something i couldnt make out.In the end,i figured that she was saying that NKT was about to be dunked,and as donors to the "Dunk NKT Fund",we didnt want to miss it.So the four of us ran like mad down the gallery to the tracks.We didnt miss it,thankfully.He came after awhile,and he climbed onto the seat above the water.It was over a tank,and it was fill almost to the brink with water.The object of the game is to basically hit the target in order to send your favourite or "favourite" teacher down into the water.Lots of people gave it a try,but they failed.Most of them missed by an inch or two.While some,missed by a mile.Until WanLin from A4b took charge and took the ball.She aimed,and threw it at the target.With a bang,the target swung backwards and NKT plummet into the water.The crowd started laughing like made.Especially after seeing his dorky victory dance he did when everyone failed to hit the target.Seeing him wet was indeed,like ColdPlay's previous album,a rush of bloody to the head.Anyway,I left that place,and went on up back to the store to take care of things.On the way back i saw the Channel 8 News reporter.She was not there to report,but she was there as an ex-student.Thats,surprising.Especially the sight of her in casual wear.Haha.Weird.But she actually looks a lot better without those heavy makeups.I went back to the booth,and saw NKT sitting at the table talking to two ladies.As i walked pass him i wanted to talk to him for awhile,until the lady beforeh im caught my eyes.Hey,she is familiar.Ive seen her somewhere.Holy,MISS LEE.My first three month's SRJC GP teacher.Haha.Now that she's there,i remembered something about her asking me to say hi to a "Mr Ng".Haha.So its THIS Mr Ng.Alright,got the point.Took a picture of them,and went on back to the store.Our Ex-President MeiShan came back.Like i said she's as stunning as ever.She was buying some food,with a guy.Bet that crushed the hearts of a lot of Alumni.I went to the Drama's booth to check things out later,WanJun was there.So i bought a brownie from her.Wow.****.It tastes good.A little expensive,but i dont really care.Really.I was just talking to MeiJian when something hard hit me on the back.It caught me unnoticed and i almost lost my balance.I looked up,and it was Mr Yeo.He came back to school.And all he did was to give me a "push" on the shoulder.That really sent me flying.It was like,being hit by a rock.Ouch.Nothing much happened afterwards.Save for some mini-jammin' session in the music room with ChoonGuan and Russell.And maybe some clearing up.We hung around the canteen tables until everybody left the building.And we left.Sadly,the music room door was locked,and we couldnt get the acoustic guitar back in.So in the end,i had to bring it home.Sorry Mr Wong.I want to thank MeiJian for her chocolate,and Samantha for taking the photos for us.(Not the one from my class.)Yeah.Thats it about HomeComing.

While we were hanging around the tables,i went over to a friend of mine and talked with him.He is a good friend of mine,and we talked for a while.A friend of his,whom i didnt know of,came and sat beside him.He asked him about how he was going to celebrate Mother's Day.A little background information about my friend.His mother died when he was in Secondary School.Same school as I.And after that he was really traumatised by it.He's personality changed totally.To the worse at the beginning,but now he's back to normal.But then again,it isnt exactly the right thing to do to talk about his mother when,his mother already passed away.Of course,he obviously didnt knew that.I knew it,and when he asked my friend that question he mumbled,"Erm.No Im not.".His friend started going on on how he is going to celebrate it and how come my friend wasnt intending on celebrating it.Argh.He wouldve been punched,and i mean really.Of course,there's a saying in chinese,which means something like,the person who knows nothing is innocent.And he is innocent.But questions like that ticks people off.Especially on my friend's context.So sad for him.Losing someone close at this age,thats like losing a foundation of a building.Im glad he's still holding up,that the bricks are still holding on together.

Special Message
I'll like to take this space,and apologise to my class.I know i havent been in the right form these couple of weeks.Been really selfish.Been really self-centered.Disregarded on some people's feelings.In fact,the worst thing is,i didnt know why until i understood a while ago.In defence,I'll like to say that,i grew up in a society with boys all around.For guys,friends tease each other,and makes fun of each other,and for some reason it makes us closer.Its not exactly the best way in the world to make friends.But somehow,in a guy's conext,it works.At least for my friends it worked.Especially when im comfortable in an environment,that irritating part of me kicks in.I know sometimes i do become really irritating at things.Looking only at the bad side of people and seldom praising people on the better side.I guess,things just works different with the girls.I guess i got too comfortable amongest the ladies that i forgot that i was actually amongest members of the opposite sex.And once again,i lost it and selfishness kicked in.I do understand why you guys were like that the past week.And I am truly sorry for that.I guess,all i needed was a knock and a bang at the side of my head.To realise the better sides of people,and mention less on the worse side of people.Yes,i guess it is time to work on social balance in my life.Ive been an idiot,but who havent in any period of time?
