Monday, January 1
So it's another year coming to an end, and another year settling in.
It wasn't a bad year yet it wasn't a good one.
In the beginning of the year I thought oh fuck, my class is gonna suck and I'd be fucking loner till I graduate. But obviously I've learnt to like, get along and hang out with them. I've widened my circle of friends definitely. We've skipped classes as a bunch, skipped homework time, found Wy coming out of the girls' toilet and gave a hell of a time to any and every teacher, even Suzannah didn't nail us the first time 'round. We'd definitely have no problem standing up for each other when some teacher tries to pull a hard one on any of us. Haha. Even the BBQ worked out despite the pathetic number of people. And yeah, I admit I went a bit too far with the dares.
Then comes the highlight of my year:
On March 23rd 2006, I met my love, my boyo, my one true love - Brian Molko - finally and for real. Not the same blow-up picture of him I have hanging behind my door but the human himself, dolled up in Shiseido with his mini loud hailer and still standing 5' 6" looking a tad too old but still manages to make me melt when he looked right into my eyes for perhaps 3 whole seconds ending the song with "you" before striking his last chord. Ahh. It made it a whole lot more memorable having Sheeka, Salmah, Sha & her friends along! Because they were there to witness me at Placebo's concert and have fun all the same. For once I felt like a little girl whose dream has finally come true. Well yeah, considering the 8757 stars I actually wished upon. It left me crying myslef to sleep everyday after that night for 2 weeks at least.
OH BRIAN/PLACEBO WILL YOU PLEASE COME BACK? Just one last concert and have it a bit longer than just an hour and fifteen minutes? Make it last the whole of my lifetime, please?
While 3/4 of the cohort went camping at Pahang, I passed up for the Overseas CIP trip to Banda Aceh. It was an eye-opener 'cos life wasn't so much a cinch to get on with there. But even with so much destruction their beach was oh-so beautiful it blew me right off my feet. It made me realise that there some beautiful things that are left behind in all the shitway of life just to remind us how much everythig's done is worth it. And through this, from putting up sales of coke for the funds to preparation week all the way to the day we came back, I suppose we've grown to enjoy each other's company and learnt each other's true colours as well. That's something I thank for because I was literally dying without internet and clean toilets. The heat took a toll on us that we had to sleep in our bras the first night in. Haha.
Flying to Manila was awesome as well. The road trip was swell! The people I went with were really fun to hang with throughout the ten days on the road and I got the chance to take the wheel :D I went shopping like I've never before with SGD2,000 in my pockets. I swear it was quite scary. Especially having to sleep in the jeep at night, worrying if we'd get mugged or not. I got to use the internet at cyber cafes for like SGD0.80 to 1.00 an hour ! And I dyed my fringe fire engine red temporily. It lasted for like 12 washes, a couple of days. It was still there when I met Zai after school when it re-opened.
For one really saddening thing, I missed this year's Baybeats. For another, my grade life went down ten more notches.
I almost bought into the picture-perfect relationship Fir promised when we were experimentally dating. Whatever that means. For like a night or two I thought that'd be possible and it'd be nice to re-live all the fantastic days with him last time but I'm glad I'd let that go. At least I don't have to deal with his temper/jealousy any longer than I needed to. Then there was the guy I never thought would see me in such light. I actually had a crush on him back in Sec 1 (OMG) but he never knew and never will know. I was taken aback because I thought he was kidding. Zai even said "Damn, it came two years late!" Haha. It was tempting cos I got to know that he'd went hunting for that Placebo Live in New York & London Dvd, including B-sides and Music Videos.
Okay I may seem heartless here and cruel.
Besides, at the time I couldn't care less about commitments and I was secretly eyeing on someone else pretty. *shameless*
So yeah, it never worked out. And yeah, I passed up on the dvd. howells.
I almost got my ass retained. But I fucking passed A Math for the re-test and I made it to the 'Most Improved' list. Thaz sweet.
For a twin but smaller highlight of the year would be right here right now.I fell in love all over again. I'll let the rest be kept unwritten because I'm here to have a good time, hopefully, and let my days be sweet while this lasts.
I got to work at GV VivoCity and earn some dough for myself. Box office and nowhere else, hell yeah.
Thank you Auntie Sally, Hafiz, Noor, Bernard, Sharyn, Winston for making my working days a hell lot of fun even when the lines were really killer and customers getting finicky.
I've got a listany of kick-ass people I'd like to thank for putting up with my nonsense, my heartbreaks, my sweet days and my mental ways. <3
