Expect to see more of me for the next few days. I'm bored, rotting, and have nothing to do.
Surprised to see an always busy guy like me without anything, better to do? I'll tell you why.
Months ago, before my major examinations, the school board has organized a few post-examination programs, lined up prior for the students of my age only. They had a lot of great, fun and interesting activities, such as paintball, outback, and of course, various sporting activities.
Knowing an outdoor and outgoing person like me, I was actually very tempted to join my other friends for the activities. But of everything, I put my foot down. I regretted ever since.
I reserved all of the post-examination activities, that I was offered to, just for partying, outings, gatherings, and most importantly, debate practices, thinking that I will have more fun if I did so, especially the partying scene. Actually, they were, but it really sucks that everyone is seperated on their own ways, occupied by the activities that they signed up for, and in return, leaving you behind, alone, to suck up your time, all by yourself. This isn't as fun as I thought it would be anymore.
No one turns up for debate practices anymore, either, and I feel that I am starting to lose my passion and interest for debating. Suddenly, I'm just, feeling all empty and maybe, pointless.
Yes, there are a few parties which I have been invited to, but they always seem to either clash with something more important, or happen on days when I am out of town, to unsuccessful planning.
The MESS! isn't going well either. The people involved keep delaying and pushing back the dates of the photo shoot, and when the day of the shooting comes, it is yet, again, further postponed. This has to come to end, and I see an urgency to the problem. This is my life. I have a life on my own, too, but I'm struggling, and trying so hard to keep it alive.
But not everything is on the downside. When our Mandarin paper ended last Tuesday, I told myself, I needed to go out to let it all out. Thinking that all went as planned, I was told that I will be going out with Becca Chong, Karen Chia, Chee Hong, Ying Chuan, Zong Xuan and Yee Ern.
Little did I know that the outing was misunderstood, and was thought to be canceled. Ouch, backfires. Becca was obviously, very pissed too, so the two of us went out, all alone. Just the two of us. Now you see the urgency and how desperate we were to chill out.
So we boarded a bus and headed to MidValley, thinking that we would have a decent lunch, and a movie marathon to go with it.
Minutes after we arrived, we bumped into a few of our friends, namely Jaclyn Wong, Amanda Pasaoa Lee, Yee Aung, Wei Jian, Kuok Ren and Rachel Foo.
They didn't mind us joining them for lunch and movies, so we went ahead with them.
We watched 'The Switch', starring Jennifer Anniston and Jason Bateman. It was one of those chick flicks like 'Love Happens', and it received an overwhelming response from us. Let's see what the 'overwhelming response' was.
Amanda was really touched by the movie, and moments before the movie ended, she was already in tears. Seriously, Amanda?
Yee Aung slept throughout the show, and the Becca, yes, 'the' Becca, next to me was being herself, complaining about how chick flick movies like so were boring.
After the movie, we basically just walked around the mall. We, too, bumped into a lot of people, and joined them sooner, too, or I would say, ended up, like Sarah Ngai, Dickson Tan, Deanna, Zecharaiah, Nathanael, Arvind, and Jerome. At the end of the day, without me realising it, I was having my dinner at Carl's Junior with Becca and Sarah, and headed home at 8 in the evening. I saw Sean Wong too.
It was certainly one of the better days after the exams, but it felt really long and draggy.
On the next day, I went back to school to return all my books, and settled my streaming for the year 2011. I stayed back and joined Nicholas Choo, Jerome and a few others for squash. It has been months since I last held my racquet in my hand, and it felt good as I did so.
Let's just say that at the end of the day, I was really worked out and beat. It sure reminded me of those years when I was under training and MSSS. Great old times, ain't they?
For the following few days after that, I didn't go anywhere at all, and I was starting to get really annoyed and bored. I kept asking myself, "Is this all that there is?", but the answer I get back every, single time was "Yes". So I didn't had anything to do.
Just last week, I nearly lost my green notebook, the one which meant almost everything to me in my life in 2010.
It had all my important scripts, speeches, debate information, deadlines, and a couple of songs which I have been working on for months.
My class was spot-checked twice, ransacked, just because of that 'somebody' I used to hate. Big fat hint there. That should explain almost everything.
Anyway, I wasn't in class at that time. I was out on a duty. I only managed to get back by dismissal, and by then, the class was in a mess. That was last Friday.
I didn't have peace, and had trouble sleeping throughout the entire weekend. Apparently, it was said that it was mistaken as a 'game book', but it certainly didn't look that way.
I tried extremely hard to get contacts, people, whom might be able to help get back that little green of mine, and when I got back to school on Monday, I succeeded. You can tell how relieved I was when I found that every single piece of paper and post-it notes in the notebook remained untouched, and was in place.
That was the little suspense of my week.
The most interesting part? Two nights ago, I was at the National Stadium, Bukit Jalil, for Paramore's 'Brand New Eyes World Tour', since I missed Adam Lambert's 'Glam Nataion Tour' just last week, looking at it as a 'compensation'. I just realised that it was my third rock concert that I've attended this year. I rocked and screamed my heart out throughout the entire evening with Becca Chong and Chee Hong. Nevermind Panic! At The Disco, Kelly Clarkson, or Tokio Hotel, hands down, Paramore's was definitely the best rock show that I've ever been to, and I'm serious about that.
I knew almost every single song that they performed that night by heart. Everyone was up and jumping, even for the concertgoers like us who bought the tickets for the seats. Everyone stood on their seats before they could even perform their first track of the night, 'Ignorance'.
The crowd was really wild and jam packed. The front woman, Hayley Williams, kept insisting that she regretted not coming to Malaysia for a concert earlier, and having us to wait for 6, full years to come, due to the overwhelming number in the crowd.
Paramore really killed this one. They closed the night with their hit from their previous album, 'Riot!', entitled 'Misery Business'.
A combo shot of happy people after the concert.
Before the concert ended, Hayley called upon a lucky person from the crowd to go onstage and sing with her. The crowd went bonkers.
Chee Hong was jealous throughout the whole night, and Becca finally lost her virginity, but we had a rocking great time.
Currently looking forward to 'The Monster Ball Tour' to hit Malaysia, but that'll never happen, because the government will surely, not approve her skin-revealing outfits and costumes. Moreover, the stage technicals and props are not compatible to those here. But that'll never change my mindset of not minding to pay more than 300 bucks, and wait for 6 hours, just to get to the front to see her, live. That's how crazy I am for Lady GaGa.
Also next on my list, in no particular order, are 3OH!3 for 'Streets Of Gold', Ne-Yo for 'Libra Scale', Katy Perry for an independent show, Cobra Starship, and M.I.A. for 'Maya'.
If it's true, you can see it in the dark.
