Softness of the Heart

This post was written yesterday but blogger kinda had some problems..


goodness, had to wake up so early today just to prepare for school, although i didn't have school till like 2pm, all because of my piano theory... sigh, the sacrifice made is just too big.. anyway, i got dressed in the smartest way i could in my school uniform, lol, and headed out to take a bus.. darn i hate to take the bus! cause i'd still sweat like a pig whenever i do.. whether its in the morning with the cool morning breeze, or if it snows, lol, i'll still sweat a lot when i reach the bus stop..

anyway, thank goodness i messaged sammie, cause apparently, when i was at the bus stop, she informed me she was sleeping like a PIG and she just woke up, lol, then she told me she was rushing.. haiyo, so i missed a 163 just for her..


I reached central really quickly, darn i hate to wait. T'hat's why when i have a meeting with someone, i'd always make an effort to be late, so that i don't have to wait, lol, to have to wait is to kill oneself.. and i had to... just standing at the red circle, with millions of people walking past me, i hate that loneliness... luckily little sammie arrive soon, and she was commanding me and leading me like a cute sheep, threatening me with a ''slap on your face'' if i didn't do something she asked for quickly, lol..Anyway, we headed to macs and looked like a couple, but nvm, haha, we settled down, and started theory.. so began the funnest 2 hours of theory of my life..

c'mon man, if i were at home with my piano teacher, i'd think of ways to stall as much time as possible.. i'd ask my maid to cook food, head up to the toilet and refuse to tell her what i'd be doing, take my own sweet time to do stuff.. or simple, feign death, haha, i'll just drop dead and wait for her to irritate me enough to ''bring me back'', but with sammie, i could learn cause sammie's a fierce lioness.. haha, but i could see she had a hard time since i didn't know.. ANYTHING, lol, finally she realises i meant what i said, i said i don't know ANYTHING about theory on msn, she'd just kinda laugh it off, haha, now you're frustrated, told ya! haha, but i learnt so much cool stuff about theory, no wonder people like theory, haha, wonder how my teacher's students learn their theory..On the whole, i was a GREAT student, cause i paid loads of attention, haha, i guess not.... although i had really short attention span, i BET she had fun teaching me, haha..


that was kinda it, we spent 2 hours doing theory and oh my, i was so satisfied, instant gratification, just 2 simple hours compared to the billions and trillions of hours my teacher has vainly spent over me.. haha..


Yeah, then we walked out of mac, and all of a sudden, yong siong came around, then he whacked my butt and moved along, giving me that sly smile.. wait a min, i knew that smile meant something, lol, WAH! haha, i shouted after him, ''she's just teaching me piano theory! '' haha, since there was much speculation about me and sammie, yong siong ever made fun of me, haha, now there was solid concrete evidence and lol, i was kinda flustered.. haha


Then we went out seperate ways and i went to school for ej.. Everyone had already arrived and yeah, mr yeo talked somemore nonsense about SVA and stuff and about letting us do whatever we wanted to, but honestly, i wasn't really interested in kilns, i was more of.. tau sar pia? haha, yeah, and everyone made me the leader, goodness, i cannot undertake such heavy responsibility! Sigh...


We then took public transport all the way to the National Archives, then more boring stuff..I just hate being introduced to stuff and places, like at the National Archives, once again we had to stand and patiently wait for someone to introduce this and that, i just can't wait to get started.. ALL the time, like when tourguides explain some stupid history, goodness, i just can't keep still, maybe that's why i make an effort to skip most of the ej outings.. cause i can't stand standing and waiting.. waiting kills..Yeah, and did some stupid research and got many photos, had people videotaping and taking pics of us doing research, which would be featured in the documentary...


The rest of the day there was really boring, oh man, i really hated doing such boring stuff, doing research, but i couldn't show that i'm bored since i'm the leader and i knew mr yeo would be really talking loads of nonsense if i were like that.. Anyway, it was darn darn boring and mr yeo once again started on his favourite hobby of picking on me, then he made fun of me, especially on the topic on girls, don't know why.. then he once again, had to tell that story about how i climbed the sofa in front of the Malaysian High Comissioner, which i want to stress ONCE again, NEVER HAPPENED, he told it to miss tan.. yeah, i wonder how many girls he made laugh telling that story of mine which NEVER happened, using my beautiful name to tell a story that NEVER happened, awwww, that iddiott, he'll just never listen to me, especially when i'm there, i keep arguing with him that i NEVER climbed the sofa, but he just had to argue back.. tsk tsk..


Yeah earlier on, Wei Zhou messaged me asking if i wanted to go to Park Lane, which had some pool parlour, and there was a challenger's table there and if you were good, you get to play for free.. And since the beginning of the year, all the guys have been going quite recently, except me, i've never stepped in to such a place before, mostly because i'm not in the mood, or because i'm busy, see? I'm not addicted at all, not like most of them, who probably can't live a week without pool.. tsk tsk.. Anway, wei zhou's messaged kinda surprised me because i rejected them so many times that i thought they had already given up asking me. Anyway, since i was out, i repaid his faithfulness and hopefulness with a yes.. haha, he was so happy after that, then i told him to bring me some clothing..


After we were dismissed, i even bad to ask mr yeo how to go to park lane mall, and yeah, i took a train to dhoby ghaut and waited for years before darren called me, and i got lost for like 30 mins cause i didn't even know where to go, when we FINALLY got there, wei zhou revealed to me his clothing, the shirt was okay, but his shorts were ABSOLUTELY TOO KIDDY, so i refused to wear them although he told me i had to.. but i managed to sneak in with school pants..


Alright! It was here, where i played the best rounds of pool in my life.. i mean in safra, its a snookerium, the only guys that play pool are teens our age and most of them can't play well, so we don't really have much competition in safra, its kinda boring there, but here, is where all the big guys specialize in pool, lol, i was so excited i wrote my name up on the challenger's black board.. Yeah! I played quite well that day, had a few streaks of beating a stranger and wei zhou, but it wouldn't be loong before i was ousted.. yeah me and wei zhou and darren had dinner and we got back to more pool..

I won more than i lost that day, in fact, all the losses were all marginal and stupid losses, mistakes that shouldn't have been made.. I remember when the rhino guy came in with his indian pal, kenneth told me he was really cautious of the rhino guy and sometimes he daren't play him.. Oh man, he was so big sized and he really looked like a rhino.. nevertheless, when he asked who was next, i immediately got up to rack the balls, he was good, but i could've beat him.. I really played quite well, in fact, very well... I made two beautiful consecutive cut shots that he whispered something to his indian pal, lol, so obvious that he never thought a young guy like me could execute such shots.. I had the perfect image, i was just a young and childish looking boy, and i had my school pants on, and an ugly shirt, small sized and uhh, some say, cute.. LOL. haha, just joking.. anyway, i knew that once i entered that place, everyone would look down on me cause i'm so kiddy looking, i mean, take rhino for example.. he was just HUGE, he had long hair and a black shirt, he had an intimidating figure, but i didn't know why i wasn't terrified at all, in safra however, i was.. but i just had the mood to show everyone what a little schoolboy could do..

Anyway, i lost that match just by abit, i owned him at first, in fact, he was quite in a fix for while, but after that he won. kenneth said he was lucky cause most of his balls were near the pocket.. Yeah, then he left and his indian pal took over, kenneth lost to his pal, and i took up the challenge.. My goodness, okay, his pal wasn't that intimidating, but one could really see that he's not a pushover, i mean, he had the look.. He was tall, matured looking, with specs and quite handsome, haaha.. Anyway, when i racked, i tried to give him the impression that he didn't scare me at all and i tried as much as possible to look sleepy, i was anyway.

He was good, once again, not much better than me.. In fact, i was running the table and clearing until i came to an easy shot.. I knew it was an easy shot, but i took like 2mins for that shot because i explored all the possiblities of the runs of the cueball.. In fact, i already went down to aim for that shot, but i got up again, knowing that if i made that shot, i wouldn't have position for the next shot, so i went for a much difficult shot, and got it in, and had much better position for better shots, he tapped the table, which i haven't explained before, people tap the table when someone makes a good shot, and its a commendable shot.. So yeah, he tapped for me, i was soooooo happppppyyyy.. ==DDDDD.. I'm happy especially when someone older taps for me.. I mean, an old guy probably has much much more experience, and even if i'm not his match, he acknowledges that i've made a good shot and applauds me for it, that's the beauty and the happiness you derive from a tap..

Yeah, i was so close to winning, i had 2 balls left and he had several, but i screwed on my 7 ball, lol, i somehow chipped my cueball, AWWWW.. He won me again, darn i was soooo closeeeeee, i couldn't imagine how he would feel if i had won, he was the pro, not much proer, maybe even same, and i almost ousted him.. I blame my stupidity.. lol.. me and kenneth left after that, i certainly hoped that i wouldn't be visiting this place much again, i mean, the atmosphere is unbearable, its really really where all the gangsters lurk, kenneth says its not for learned people.. darn, i don't wanna be an unlearn person! I really couldn't really stand the atmosphere, of course, i didn't mind it, it didn't really affect me, in fact, no matter how bad the atmosphere is, it wouldn't influence me... but certainly i wouldn't want to hang out at such places all the time..

Anyway, took a cab back home after that with kenneth and he shared with me more of his pool insights.. Reached home at 10pm!!! Lol, dad was overseas, mum was already in her room, and my brother was telling me to get ready for bed.. AWWW!?!?!??!?!? One thing i hate most is coming home late and having to sleep.. i have to watch the tele or play the com or at least, spend time at home before sleeping, i can't sleep immediately after coming home.. i hate that feeling, makes me feel very empty..

Anyway, for the first time in months, maybe years, i informed my mum i would like to move back to my room to sleep for a night.. and i told her i wouldn't be going to my piano teacher's home cause my good friend sammie taught me things i've never learnt all my life that my teacher spent years teaching me in vain.. Yes, so everyone slept and i took the laptop to my room and begged sammie to stay up all night.. Sammie, being nice, stayed up all morning.. haha..

Anyway, we talked for like 5 hours, till 2am when she had to go.. we had a great talk.. haha...
