"So actually you just sign this and then we can start off"

"yes, ok I see your technicalities...

ARGH!

I had the most fun outwitting two people from a MLM company and I forgot what I said!

All I knew was that in the end, they gave me monosyllabic answers and were shell shocked cause I was dominating the conversation and I ended the thing by saying " So is someone going to see me out?"

hahaha!

I passed my test!

WOOHOO

I so want to drive.
Drive I will.

and of course I'm going to beef up for the army.

But I tell you the truth, Im really not into writing posts about my day.

cos its so boring and adding creativity into it seems stupid to say the least.

Well heres my day,
I went sakura, the jap restaurant or buffet actually.

Not bad ar, a lot of food.

Never bothered much about food.

boy I love Sundays.
I look forward to it.
First of all, the comfort of the basement hall is really good. and nice and comfy and the like.

And then there's the thought of going to church, where everybody's Christian or at least trying to be and funny to watch.

Then theres music where I realised I am so blessed to have access to world class instruments on a regular to practice and play on.
The drums cost over a few thousand and I'm sure the keyboards too. And we have this vintage bass which cost a lotta yeah as well.

Then theres the friends as well. I look forward to meet Phil esp and previously Jap.
When they come, fun comes.
Then theres the kinda new ones of Pat and others which make it doubly worthwhile.
Then theres Eug that starts coming regularly as well.

There, what a silly post

First up, I'm going to write a few posts so those people come back from poly after long days work and see, wah, something to read.

I love Ho Reuben

I received shoes, shirt, card and something else.

:)

Thanks, I really like it.

He sparkled in a white shirt, pressed and tucked in. The clink of cuff links, the shine on shoes spoke, he walked in a big stride, arms akimbo, purposefully, the image of a successful, busy businessman. He was my friend, he was asking me to join his business where he couldn't tell me unless I came down to see operations for myself. I had been forewarned by the most intelligent people I know, Sherman and Hongwei.
I was half a step behind him, I take big steps, so if people walk faster than me, there was something up. I was slightly amused, he had a small brush on the back of his left knee where somebody probably brushed the bottom of a shoe. I started talking, my slow drawl, mumbling, placing my right hand behind my head awkwardly sometimes when the words that I wouldn't let come on clearly. The image of a slightly awed friend who he thought was inferior.
I puffed out my chest, walked as fast as him as we neared the coffeeshop, I had to show him that I was not inferior, I had to show him I was trying my absolute best to keep up with the awesome image of his.
I had to show him I was trying to impress him. I HAD to show him I was trying to impress him.
He seemed to be believing, I sat slowly and ordered food and drink for him. He sat there, taking out an expensive leather wallet and commenting on the age of my phone.
I smiled at him, looking into his eyes, waiting for him to talk about his company. I chatted about the superficals mostly, school, plans, past. He answered and laughed with me and I cherished those moments where he really seemed like a friend.
Soon I asked him about this company he has which he earned $3000-$5000 a month, impressive figures at the very least. He didn't meet my eye. "Better for you to come down and see, for seeing is believing, listening is deceiving" I was amused, wow, a catchphrase. Still I had to maintain my image, "wah, nice, next time I can use that phrase to other people" I said, showing myself slightly embarrassed and impressed with his change after not seeing him for so long.
I asked him some more questions, spooning duck rick slowly in, I was hungry. He deflected them and I noticed them jumping all around the *in my opinion* "C" grade coffeeshop.
Tsk.
tsk.
I thought, what happened to my friend. He continued speaking, and I didn't hear, I decided to only hear the last part so I could answer appropriately, I had done that many times. I looked at his posture. His left elbow on the table, right hand gesturing, eyes flickering around. He seemed slightly nervous and anxious to accomplish something with me. He noticed me looking at his eyes and looked directly into mine. After all, who doesn't know flickering eyes meant untruths? He stared at me, he showed confidence. I was amused again, I looked away, after all, I wasn't supposed to stare, he had the upper hand. Again I showed that.
The meal was ending, I had learnt nothing about his company. The last 15 minutes had been about arranging another meeting to go his company. I told him how busy I was, he was very interested in my schedule, I told him details of my schedule on how I liked driving and giving tuition, and he wasn't interested.
Tentatively, he said, we'll meet on tuesday.
Selfishly I thought I looked better in a suit than him, cos I was taller and he he he.
But back to the serious portion where, I looked at my friend, who once I comforted because of his poor results and where we had fun when he came over to play Playstation and drums a while ago.
And I was no longer amused, I ended on a dominant phrase. I said indirectly (I still had an image to keep) about wanting my friend back. He was instantly and completely agreeable but he was business-like agreeable.

I was sad.

He wasn't the friend I knew anymore.

An old re-run was playing on the telly. I sat crossed-leg, comfortable, slightly amused, slightly tired; my focus on the clock on digital screen. The accelerated clock on my mantle had already passed the mark and I paid no attention to it. I glanced around the room and wondered briefly whether there was any irony in "living room" and that I was turning 20 soon.
The canned laughter sounded again on screen, a comedy. The screen clock continued ticking, I smoothed the covers of the sofa, feet rested nicely on my mattress. There was 30 seconds left. An excited friend had already made her intentions clear fifteen minutes ago.
Still it continued ticking, I spun the white-grey remote on my hand, and scanned through channels, spotting my favourite show. I smiled, the blinking orange light caught my attention on my screen; 4 more seconds. I thought, well I always wanted to see when the calendar changes so I stared and it happened. As innocuously as 4 seconds ago, it was the day that I was born 20 years ago.
A few messages rang into my cellphone, well-wishers. "Nice to know" I thought.
A genuine thought came up in my mind, a la television - should I reminisce about my past? Still in my mind's eye I glanced around. It was reasonably cool, I had set up my bed, I had brushed my teeth, I wasn't hungry and I was comfortable. My mind was in the familiar drone that I knew that I was resting it and it made me feel that I managed to lessen and reduce the electrical signals in my brain. I used to worry I was dumbing it down too much, but I have grown to love my brain after a particularly stressful school period that I went through without getting stressed. No, there was no need to reminisce.
Still the simplest of things I love, the ones that accomplished with no additional hoopla. There were of course the nagging that seeped somewhere, I let it pass, there had to some form of motivation.
I scanned my well-wishers, they were the same, some over-excited, some brief, some cool, some witty, most I liked.
My laptop was burning my lap, I was slightly worried but I placed it with a small bounce to my right. It was quiet, calm and silent, I was alone. Time had passed, and I settled in my imprint on the sofa to catch Barclays highlights as I began another train of thought about football.
I was 20.

14th April is my birthday.
This year I turn 20 haha.

lol, I decide to write compo a bit since I keep teaching Rick how to write compo.

sigh, its a pity when I write the best stuff on this blog but some topics remain blacklisted.
I frequently break that rule but still, I keep warning people myself here is not the same as myself outside.

I hope you understand for honestly, I blog for people to read.
myself mostly, but people generally, i am people after all.

dee dum dumb.
which is reminiscent of my thoughts.

sigh, I wish I could rankle on with my colloquialism and limericks of some variety.

now I realise the many declarabelic doyxabilaic acidic posts I've been posting
the words I use only represent my mood.

So I decide to write something.

You see, I had the lovely opportunity to test my wits against an old friend.
I like testing my wits, it provides some form of exercise for an underused part of my mind.

Well I never showed it but I won by a country mile.
Unfortunately, he was an old friend and I can't tell them that I won them. i MEAN them.

every action, reaction, mannerism, speech was in my control and I felt so powerful.
He's the same as ever, anxious to display his constant, never changing "better than thou" and purposeful attitude.
Which amused me.
Now I'm not boasting, I saw it clearly while I was laughing with him and conversing, I saw it from a far.

It amused me greatly and now im telling my friends about it.
sorry

I feel light and airy cos chatted with cousinkin.

I simply adore her.
to bits I might add.
Which is slightly embarrassing I might add,
but which oversight I will rest.

haha.
you're 13. come on man.
13 not the 7 I keep thinking.

gosh I miss you

This is the singularly most happiest moment of my Manutd this season
