Look what I just dug up..

a l'il sth i thought twice about b4 handing it in for kauthar.. okay.. i'm gonna start crackin on the applications.. make myself productive for once..
Mentol note to self..
Or so I thought. When I unclenched my fist, I saw two black strand on my palm, and a very vengeful flying spider heading toward my eyes. I jerked to the left, not wanting be the receiving end of Flying Spider's anger- God knows if Mr Denggi decided to hitch a ride with him. Surprisingly, it flew past me like I wasn't there. I let my eyes followed it as DL(that's what I'm gonna call him since flying spider's a mouthful) flew higher n higher toward the light, probably thinkin the end of the light would be his ticket outta here.
I'm like.. dude, what about ur legs?
Yeayea I've got nth better to do with my life, marvelling about trifles like that. (as I'm typing this, DL is still flying about me, before my eyes, circling around my hp.. ) but ahah.. that's where you got me wrong. Yea I'm school-less n jobless, tho the latter is valid for only a couple more days. I haven't been doing much at home save collect dustballs n grow fat. My day is as predictable as the sun's course. My objective now (mg are my eyes failing me? Is DL flying without legs?!) is not to
FUCK THIS!!! A FUCKEN COCKROACH JUST FLEW INTO MY ROOM!!! I hate cockroaches!!! You wanna see the girly side of me, just put a cockroach in fronta me n I swear I'll claw at u til u're beyond recognition. Oh fuck it's crawling up the wall now.. That thing can fly. Crap DL looks like Teletubbies next to this thing. Okay. MY GAWDDDDDD it FLEW again!$!%!! N fuck this it's coming towards ME! Okay. Okay. What do u do now??!!! The thing can FLY!! DADDY~~~~ Kevin!! n i was bout to blog bout life being ho-hum.. *grimace* Why ME?!!!#!$!
why me why me... i hope that disgusting pest stays at its corner and rot to death.. i've lifted both my feet to my chest, wondering what's the point of that since fucken thing has wings.. i left my door open, switched off any lights outside, n hope with every cell of my body that fucken thing will take the hint and go to hell.. instead it crept under my cupboard. Tell me how ma gonna sleep with the thought that my mother will find me later this morning with a cockroach stickin outta my mouth, me choked to my undeserving death?! Can u charge this fucken thing with murder?!
(I usually don't rlly go around exposing my weaknesses but since the handful who knows of this blog are sweet, nice, un-opportunistic, reliable and trustworthy people I trust none of this will come up sometime during April. Okay?)
Where was I? *scrolls up* O yea my objective now.. I've got no more mood to blog *glares at fucken thing* Ever since I got back from Taiwan, my life has been revolving around.. ~tada~ television! Astro-less somemore. Pathetic you might think. *shrugs* I truly don't know. This feels abit like primary school all over again, and I feel this.. contentment from doing nothing. Not fulfillment, not satisfaction, not complacency mind you, just contented. I will watch Canto n Taiwanese series til 8, the latter I find myself guilty of enjoying. Taiwanese shows are pretty slow to my liking (before)- they take 10 seconds to look into nthness, turn their head, before taking another 10 to look at the other party, and finally utter out one single sentence. I mean, sure they have alotta good looking guys in there but no amount of eye-candy can lure me into sittin thru that ordeal. This show actually has plot- it's about twins tryna get their parents to bury the hatchet, not those cliche kinda love stories. The fact that even Kev's watching it with me says alot for itself. However, the true reason as to why I'm drawn to this show, I suspect, is that I've fallen in love with Taiwan.
Dinner will come after my shows, and it seems to me a full stomach will induce nagging from my mother. My mother. She worries for my education more than myself, I'm ashamed to say. I've at least pinned down the direction I'm heading and she's pressing me over n over again to apply for scholarships. Last Sunday, she had me sit down at the dinner table where we had the longest convo ever w/o gettin at each others' throats. She told me that, as the eldest, there's gotta be sacrifices I gotta make for my brother.
"You know la, ur whole life complain mummy working bo kao luei. Mummy last time had to work also so that ur aunts had the chance to further their education. Kevin n you I'm not worried about, it's just that.. u know how things are la.. vince isn't smart.. we might be hafta accomodate Vincent a l'il bit."
Silence.
"So I'm hoping you'll save la.. If u're so sure about enrolling for a private college, I'll loan you the cash for uni but u've gotta fund Vince's edu when u come out n work."
I told her I don't think I'll be able to handle that responsibility.
"The world's an unfair place. Make the best of what you have."
think those words will stick to me for quite a while.
I hate this n i know i'm being very childish. I wish I had accomplished more in my high skul life. I wish I fell sick during the day we took Chinese, so that the 7D won't matter this much. I wish I knew how to think back then, knew how to not get my sorry butt in that blacklist, so that I wouldn't dread askin for a teacher's testimonial this much today.
Then, I would turn angry. I would blame my mother, for putting all this pressure on me. I blamed her for makin me look for my own way, while others are already at Trinity, Taylor's and whatnot.. I would wish she'd just disappear whenever she bugs me to fill in that IB scholarship form. I hate lookin at that form. It's like taunting me, hello under-achiever.. dream on loser. I don't blame you if u think i'm an ungrateful brat coz I think so too. My mother. Although I'll nvr admit this to her, coz I still think it was a costly decision, she is truly, greatness personified. Somewhat I detected a tinge of sadness in her eyes, n I decided to drop it. I told her I'll take form6. I'll give up my dreams of studyin abroad.
"I've given up on my ideal too," she said in the car later, quietly.
That got me curious. What could my mother want more with life, after claiming that family was her life priority?
"I realise I can't give all of you the education you kids want,"
I wished I had the forgiveness and acceptance of DL. To stop whining n dwelling in self pity and rather, get my fat arse up from that floor and start working my way toward the light. DL u're my iNsPiRatiOn! I shall rmb ur spirit forevverrrr~~~
All this talk of forgiveness reminds me of Ang. Rmb how she taught us once that the heart of forgiveness is wider than the ocean and the sky? Haha i wonder how that old witch is doing... she won't even give jh half a mark so that he can get his leaving school cert.. or was that cow? talk bout not practicing what u preach. I miss chs. F6 ain't that bad I guess..
Amazing if u're still with me here. The cockroach must have slept, and so should I. The night's makin this post abit emotional. Nitezz.
