It got me thinking...

Last Wednesday was pretty tiring. I have to drive all the way to Klang to pick up my best friend, a girl (ah hem...nothing romantic pls). Then she asked me to accompany her to her apartment and also helped out in seeing her newly rented out apartment. After much waiting the agent finally arrived. The usual yada yada and blablabla. It was rather personal stuff so i decided to move away. It is a respect to their privacy anyways.

"Psst...is he ur bf?" the agent ask my friend. She laughed!

They didnt take long and when we left...

"Ah Seng, he tot u are my bf."
"WTF! Why?"
"Coz not many ppl willing to accompany frens to do all this unless their bf or husband."

I was rather taken aback. I guess thats what have happened to our society these days. Once a fren told me that no point practise,"Do unto others what u would have them do to you." These days ppl have changed...alot.

For me, I still hold on to such philosophy. Why? Coz its worth it.

Would I make a good boyfriend?

Ok, I am officially in a relationship after 4 years of desolation. Its not that I wasnt happy as a single individual, its just that I have gotten used to being alone and even embraced it, I hardly feel the depth of loneliness. During those days, its gym, work and social. Some flings or ah hem ah hem. Ok, not some...a lot of ah hem ah hem, but i do play safe. So no worries.

Then things changed last christmas. I made the move though it was quite tough. It was a success. Suddenly, I am opened to a whole new world. (Whoever is singing Aladdin's a whole new world can stop now). I am propelled into the reality of being an attached guy. So, there's valentine, birthday, anniversary and so on. Wow, seems like its a perfectly new experience all over again. I do look forward to it and hopefully all will be well. Fingers crossed coz I am having my sneakers on for a long marathon.

Si Putih and the 7 Makciks - a pantomime to be remembered...

For those who dunno what the hell is a pantomine, dun think its some ppl holding puppet and talk thru their other holes apart from their mouth. It is actually a theatrical play which is comedious and interactive with the attending audience. I was suck into it due to my fren KennyPhyllis. He played the part of a makcik. One of their cast couldnt make it to penang and I was asked to be one of the understudy.

"A what?"
"Understudy."
"Kenny, what is that? Study under the table?"
"No lar. U just learn a character and if the person cant perform that role, u have to chip in."
"Amboi, so fancy that name. More like standby lar!"
"Something like that."

It was really fun being an understudy. And i always pray that the guy i am understudying (Nick Dorian) get sick or too busy. (Opps...sorry nick) But i only get to play it two times. As the day draws near I went back to my normal tuition routine and gym. Until another news came up.

They dun have a lighting man. Since I was already involved and didnt want to have such good production to go to waste, I chipped in again. It was fun. 10 days of tiring production but still very fun!

I do hope the director, Sham Sunder Binwani will involve me in his next pantomime. And i do hope to be able to give him the time he needs of me. Aiks....fingers crossed...

She called...

"Tythus."
"Wah lau...Its been ages since u called me. Wat u want?"
"Wanna go out?"
"Go where? Arent u suppose to go out with ur husband? U have him already, no need me lar."
"Oi. Dun say like tat ok? I need someone tonite."
"And that someone is me?"
"Wat time u coming to pick me up?"
"I didnt say i wanna pick u up also."

Was I cruel? Yeah I guess so. But perhaps I would be better let u be the judge. Samantha is those hot girl that you dun really get to know her. At 5 feet 7 model, she is hot for everyone. But the problem is, she wasnt able to get me in bed with her. Why? Many reasons but the most obvious one is whenever I see her, its like seeing my own sister. Nah, I dun fuck sisters. Ewww..So damn salah wei. Anyhow, she got married to some rich suga daddy and lead a glamourous life. And when she wanna get a true fren to accompany, she called me.

"Fine! I come pick u up."
"Sam,r u serious? Mana u punya hubby? Oversea? Hooked up with someone else besides u? Or just quarrelled?"
"He's dead."

Opps...Suddenly I felt guilty. ONLY A LITTLE! But that is enuff for me to have my soft spot opened. So we went to Maison and had great dance. And u know maison on weekend is super duper terribly crowded. We drank, danced and manage to get her into that crazy wild girl she used to be. We got back and the look at ppl's face when she drove her car to fetch me. It was a reversal of reality check that I would never wish to have happen frequent. Anyhow, on my way back she stopped at somewhere and asked me some queer questions.

"Tythus, do you love me?"
"As a fren, yeah."
"Please say it into my eyes and be serious."
"I love you baby. Whats the matter."
"Your the only one who has ever said that to me without intentions to get into my pants."
"I wasnt interested."

She hugged me and I was having an awkward moment.

"You got something to ask me, Sam?"
"Does true love exist."
"Yeah it does."
"Why so fast answer me. No need to think ah?"
"I have thought it through. It exists. And I saw it."
"You did? When?"
"A few years ago, I was driving near my neighbourhood and saw two old couple. I think they are at their 60s. They hold each other hand  to cross the road. For a moment there...I saw true love."
"Do i need to be that old to get true love?"
"Nah, you just have to keep on searching. You will get it one day."

She dropped me off and sped home. I believe she cried but those are tears of hope joy and relief that there is a brighter day ahead.

"Thanks!" she text me half an hour later.
"Your welcome.  Can sleep?" I replied.
"I will try."
"Dun worry, there is bright sunshine ahead of this gloomy storm."
"How would you know?"
"Coz the only place that is flooding is way up north. So yeah. It figures..."
"LOL."

Preparation for CNY...

Apart from the usual preparation for CNY, there is one thing us singleton have to prepare. That is to meet with relatives and put with their nonsense. I know family comes first and they are truly important. Yet, there is this sense of annoyance that they hold the power to "kepoh" about everything in ur life. That includes when the hell u are getting married. I never did fancy marriage and I am so fine being single. So, the amount of questioning from my relative are endless. So people! Beware for I have prepared myself the top ten answers when they ask u this question:"When are you getting married?"

1. Havent save enuff money yet. This one works everytime. If they continue to push then proceed with this:"if ur willing to pay then i marry lor."

2. The fengshui guy say i need to wait 3 more years before i can marry.

3. I just broke up. Wah..this one very fast everyone will keep quiet.

4. I just got a girlfriend/boyfriend so it is still too early. Give me some time. Ah, this one ok lar...can stall for another few CNY. A few years later, proceed to statement No. 3.

5. We need to wait for the baby to come out first. This one will scare the shit out of them but good try. For desperate ppl lar.

6. I'm gay. Usually this one shut the whole world up.

7. I found out that my girlfriend is a lesbian or my boyfriend is gay. This one very geng coz they will symphatize with u.

8. My girlfriend/boyfriend is working in oversea. Will come back in 3 years time. Then three years later use statement No. 3.

9. I wanna focus on my career first. Erm, this one ok lar but u cant use it for too long.

And the best excuse of all...

10. Was ur marriage similarly better? I guess it wasnt hor? Then I better dun get married also, u agree?

There u go....few more months to CNY, let's get prepared!

To Steve Jobs

I may not be a Apple fan but the news of his death truly has taken me aback. I do know he is battling cancer and a most rare kind. So his days are indeed numbered as he already knew it. Yet, he still strive for greatness and it is unquestionable his achievement in his days. In fact, he has changed the world by his innovation and invention. Love u Steve Jobs, there wont be another one like you. May u rest in peace knowing that we all admired u very much.

The serious case of last minute study

PMR is this week and I believe many PMR students have one thing in mind. Get the fuck over with the exams! I know i know. stress right? Imagine after all the exam is over, u will reap your reward. All the pain would be over, baby! And u will see that tiny light at the end of the tunnel. Of course u have to walk towards it but still, its good to see tunnel and lights, right. I am sure there's one tunnel i love to dig. Opps.. Anyway, last week, i received a call from a distressing parents asking me to teach a pair of Form 3 kids. Of course i further inquire why they need such last minute study. Apparently them were playing the whole 3 years (as if everyone is serious in their studies.) Nonetheless, I took the task to help them, not to score, for it is like me giving birth to a baby(thought physically i look like pregnant for 5 years), but just to help them at least get a pass. A principal pass. Are they that bad?! Yeah.

"So u take this bring over and minus. So -3-5 is how much?"
"-2"
"Har? How come?"
"5 minus 3 and 3 is at the front. it is lesser, so negative."

In silence i shook my head but at the back of my mind i have only these to say,"FUCK U WEI!!!!!"

I told him the whole concept of positive and negative for 20 minutes and he finally got it.

Next, move on to sin cos tan. I wasnt very annoyed, they manage to get it all in. Until one of them asked me this!

"Teacher, all must be in triangle?"
"YEAH! I only showed triangle what?"
"Oh yeah hor...no wonder i only see triangles."

Then the blow came.

"Why must I learn this?"
My respond was epic.

"Coz if u dun, u will end up selling panties and bra in a departmental store to old ladies and grannies for the rest of your life!"

I know, it aint inspiring, but at least he got the message. Studying is important, whether it is last minute or last second. As long as u do it, so cheers to those who finished ur PMR! And for those who are still rushing for ur SPM, work hard. If u dunno how, then u know where to send ur resume to,huh?
