Whoa… what a pathetic loser I am…
That aside, here are the ten most significant things that have happened to me since then:
1. Getting a new guitar.
Can you imagine how hard it is to play a guitar with a chipped nut? As lewd as it may sound, a guitar with a chipped nut is very, very hard to play. And it gets worse when you try to compensate by stuffing some paper between the nut and the string a la fixing a wobbly table during exams… With this new guitar that isn’t so new ‘cause it was bought off a second hand store (what can I say? I’m sorta a mat), I can at least happily strum without any risk of having errant pieces of paper previously stuffed in between other stuff shoot up into my nostrils. Yippee.
2. Dad starts working overseas.
Well, long story short, Dad had a brilliant idea to venture into Malaysia, trying to train educators there. So he quit his day job, and has been regularly gallivanting up north, pilfering the unknowing Malaysian education honchos of their money (which they probably embezzled anyway). I have to give it to him though… He’s found a very lucrative investment opportunity. And who could think of something more sustainable then trying to train Malaysian educators, huh? Imagine that… wawasan 2020 my pie hole. Spend millions on a space tourist… heh. Meanwhile…
3. Brother decides to drive Dad’s kinda new car while he’s away. Brother didn’t have a licence, by the way. He still doesn’t. You’ll find out why soon enough.
The event itself as stated above should be self explanatory, but I think it merits a tinsy bit more elaboration. Up till that fateful evening, Dad’s been training Brother to drive. He could drive decently enough after some time. It still felt like he’d tip the car over every time he rounded a corner, but it was a hell of a lot better than the beginning (note to beginner drivers: DO NOT speed down a slope that leads to a stop sign marking an intersection with a major road full of heavy traffic SANS SEATBELTS). That night, he decided to again drive out with friends without Dad’s permission (wasn’t his first time, Dad scolded him many times before). I have no idea how it happened, but he got involved in an accident, along with three other car drivers. And their cars, of course. Supposedly, it wasn’t his fault: the taxi driver did it (sigh, it’s always the taxi drivers. Touting, flouting, and then starting massive tetra-vehicular pile ups). Nobody cared though. Not the cab driver. Not the Merc driver. Not that other driver. And neither the police. No licence + driving + near vehicular manslaughter = very, very big NO NO. So he got banned from driving (hey, he couldn’t drive without a licence anyway) for a year I think. And Dad had to pay for the repairs. All four cars’ worth of repairs.
4. BROADBAND INTERNET ACCESS.
Okay, it’s important to consider here that I am a run of the mill mat. Can’t afford much. So I was damn happy with broadband. For one, I didn’t have to illegally do anything to get online, like leeching and mooching. That is to say, I can legally use the internet! HAH! Take THAT you government watchdogs! You can’t catch me for leeching!
Secondly, I didn’t have to limit my bandwidth to hide my downloading of anime. HAH! So now I can get anime episodes in like ten minutes instead of ten hours. HAH! But then…
5. Bloody ODEX
They had to get the government involved. Can’t really download anymore ‘cause of prosecution. Man, Singapore’s been the laughing stock of the entire fansubbing community… Not that it mattered anyway..
6. Broadband got screwed up anyway..
Stupid mechanical messed up effed up worthless white elephant shit. Can’t even load pages more than half the time now.. Which means to say that the connection to the internet is way tipsy. Which means to say…
7. Cut off from MSN
NO MESSENGER??? WTF WTF? NOT EVEN WEBMESSENGER? YOU ARE ONE MESSED UP SON OF A B*TCH.
No communication with old buddies. No communications with new buddies. None. Nada. Oh how the phone bill soared after that.
8. Brother goes to the army.
Now this is self explanatory: five days every week by myself at home. Woohoo!!
9. Teachers Day (embarrassing shit)
10. ‘A’ LEVELS ARE OVER!!!!!!!!
No freaking econs for the rest of my life! No more Le Chatelier’s Principle for chem! No more school! No more school? ….
Hmm. No more school. No more corner-relaxing at school with fellow mats. No more insulting teachers. No more getting insulted by teachers.. Lot’s of no mores.
i AM myself
i am an INTP. look up the mbti website.
typically, that means i am a creative ideas man.
i'm far from typical, though, so being INTP means i am...
cynical
skeptical
sarcastic
insensitive
unfeeling
just downright pessimistic
what i mean to say is, there is no bright side to anything.
but now i'm a lot better. thanks to my significant other. Liss you.
