This date. Is certainly a date that I would post in here for. The reason being. It’s a popular date. A long list of events in queue after one another. On the 12th of July. Making an ordinary person’s day hectic. And for an extraordinary person, it is all the more worse than “hectic”. Maybe I enjoy the buzz of it. Or maybe I don’t really need such a tiring lifestyle. Could it be everyone is a believer of Feng Shui and has because of that all have chosen to organize their respective event on this particularly fine day? Because, if you really want to know. I can list down here about seven to eight “activities” – that I was invited to go to; that I was interested in attending; that I wanted to attend; that I must be present. All but very demanding of my stamina.
1. Littlest Brother’s Sports Day
It pretty much started on a very fine morning. As usual. No elaboration needed for this, surely. Anybody would understand what Sports Day is about. I for one is sick of it. With what non-existence participation in whatever field and all, I barely ever care. March past was only fun because of the designation of quirky and silly costumes. Everything mentioned here is really by my – PAIKHWA’s – standard. So, no offense should be taken. In short, I possess no athletic genes. Cheering for friends was awesome though. I got to shout and scream without getting an infraction. “INFRACTION”. *Cough*Cough*
Back to my littlest brother. By the time I finally woke up and washed my face fresh, he was already back from school. Figure how much of a bum I was. In his hands were two medals. Two bronze medals. Each for the events of Long Jump and 4 x 100metre race. He was very keen in showing me his prizes. I smiled in my heart at his innocence. But I acted differently on the outside. I was a little mean to him. By saying, “Yeaa? So? I don’t see Gold.” He had his own humour too, actually. Before he showed me anything, he deceived me about not winning anything at all. Whatever still, he’s my darling fierce littlest brother.
2. Annona’s Dance Competition
Honestly, I really wanted to go and see you dance. I wouldn’t mind being the photographer of the day for you either. Taping down the entire routine of your team and bits of this and that. Wanted to see the costume you did yourself until late at night. I know dancing is something that you really enjoy and I’m very happy as well to see the infinite satisfaction your face glowed off from it. Such power of passion is really admirable. Not only hers alone, but I’ve seen others as well. The sight is extremely pleasing.
Was supposed to text you Good Luck in the afternoon but I had to attend to my relative who came to pay us a visit. Anywho, I did texted you at night. And boy am I proud to know that you won a third place. That was a really magnificent feat. Congratulations!! [Hope your camera returns back to you as soon as possible!! And sorry I couldn’t be of much help on Friday. My search resulted poorly.]
3. Fusion Fiesta
Organized by HICT and held somewhere in Klang I think. Don’t exactly know where the place is, but yeah. It’s darn far. Personally, I just saw a small part of a preview of the team from my college. It was really a small part of the preview. But at least I have the gist of their routine. Hope they do well. I will be asking how things had gone on Monday.
Even if I go, it’s more for the sake of checking out the place. Another campus of HELP University College. HICT caters more to the technology stuffs. The other reason being, I like watching people dance. It’s a hot hot hawd sport. I missed the Dance Party by HELP UC Dance Club last night, so yeah. This would be a compensation for the loss.
4. One Life Revolution
It goes on within a range of few days. But I had only the weekends to attend to this. I was really introduced to this event by a good friend. I’ve heard of it before in the beginning of the year. But because I didn’t understand what the poster really conveyed then, I care next to nothing about it. It was interesting, constantly tempting you to find out more about it and what’s going on and all. However, yeah, no way. I never did anything like “researching thoroughly on the subject mentioned”. I was after all more concern about my studies, exams and tests. Neglecting this is certainly not the worst sin ever.
Intended to go on either this Saturday which is today or tomorrow, the Sunday. If I went today, I’ll see my friend who was volunteering himself at the exhibit from morning till afternoon. If I am to go tomorrow, I would be going with Evangeline to check things out. Coincidentally or not, the venue was at her church itself. So yeah, could be another happy outing if not for the over-anxiety about UCAS stuffs. It’s freaking tedious.
5. Cheer 2008
Another college mate asked me if I am going for this. I was like, hell yeah, I’ve always wanted to see for myself how the real thing goes about. To see how good the girls are at cheering. The atmosphere should be attractive I guess. But nah. Wanted to go since two years ago, though no actual plan has ever formed. High school was already over for me anyway. Not much fun going there now. I feel tremendously old looking at younger people jumping kiddily about.
Flapping skirts is not a main attraction. And gosh, I actually said that. LuLz. Ignore me. I’m just kidding. Out of sheer delight and mischief. Perhaps if I stick around the place long enough, I might get some freebies. Then, all is gooooood. CHEER PEOPLE. COME ON. Really, I’m not even sure if it’s on today, this Cheer thing. I was just told and can’t really confirm. Argh. Listed down in this post anyway.
6. Going out for a movie.
Like yeah. Hellboy II is already out on the 10th of July. So is the Journey to The Center of Earth. They are movies that I really wanted to watch. Besides that, I wanted to watch “Wanted” with the cool CG of bullets being swerved around oh so freely. Angelina Jolie and her sexiness as always. I don’t know why but I am just attracted to her. No idea. Don’t ask. She is gorgeous. I’m not really into celebrity stuffs. So, if you wanna tell me reasons to hate her or why people should <s>lick</s> like her. I don’t give a damn. I find something appealing to me. Then yeah, so that be it. Full stop.
This plan is really at the spur of moment. I was thinking I should have plenty of time during the weekends. It just depends on how I’m arranging my time. The idea was tempting, as it always had been. Going to cinema I found out, has integrated into a typical college student’s life. So haha. Yea. The Dark Knight is coming up soon. And yours truly wants to watch Red Cliff too. Great Chinese movie. Something that I won’t want to miss.
7. Piano Lessons.
This is the “must” that I have to attend to. I’ma preparing for ABRSM Grade 8 Piano next year. I’m so far behind of things. Sigh. My playing sucks. And I’m as cold as ever. Always had the same problem. I couldn’t put feelings and emotions into my playing. I play the piano like a machine. A programmed cyborg to read the manuscripts and play as ordered sitting on the black stool before the grand rich-black furnished instrument.
I’m seriously trying to work it out on this. I just don’t know why I’m such a cold person. Actually I do know why. But there’s no need to explain the entirety of myself to you here. You don’t have the authority and the honour to be treated with such respect from me. I know, that previous statement would really be provoking you to slap across my cheeks. Hard. Hahaha. Come on, it’s Paik Hwa you’re dealing with. So, give her a break will ya. -SMILES-
8. A Visit from Relatives.
This I didn’t expect. I was still sleeping my morning through when my cell suddenly rang “Tori no Uta”. I was like. Oh heck. Who is calling so early in the morning. LoLoLz. It forced me to kick myself away from bed and grab the cell while it still continued to ring. It was from uncle, my mom’s eldest brother. Oh, figured. He’s coming. Along with my grandmother and his two children. I would enjoy their company. The two children are adorable. They’re really lovable unlike my siblings. They are not stubborn when asked to do something, very unlike my spoilt younger brothers.
So yep, I attended to them when they arrived. Mom and dad wasn’t at home then. Accompanied them until at night. We went to the Waterfront at Desa Park City and took a stroll at the park behind the supermarket. There was the cooling breeze. It was downright damn cool. Very comfortable atmosphere and I don’t mind sleeping there on the ground. Exposed to the night. Believe it or not. It was about 9pm plus plus plus. But the place was still crowded with all ages of people. A “yamcha” session there? Yes? Anyone? Michl, Micht, KangBing, Eileen, Chester, Sharkira, Yuva, Wei Wen, Jun Lung… And maybe even Ruthra???? It’s quite possible for me to drag him out. I could start pestering him already. HAHAHAHAHA. There are Kluang Station, La Casa, Secret Recipe, Rakuzen, New Zealand Natural, Coffee Bean and bla bla bla to choose from. You guys would like it. Tell me when you will be free. And you can stay overnight at my house and only go home the next morning. Good idea? Yes? No? An open invitation to fellow BSD2-rians.
9. Bon Odori 2008
I remembered Dave inviting us to this since last month. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. Refer to all things above and you will get the meaning of all the “buts”. Like. Seriously. Gawd. It was the event I am interested in participating and really really wanted to go to. And I was drafting a plan to go there and all. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. Enough. I am very sure you know what I’m thinking about right know. Surely you understand my predicament. And how stupid it is for everything to fall on the same day. I seriously doubt it. Is it really that good of a Feng Shui or bad Feng Shui? It sucks.
If only I’m a superwoman and knows how to separate myself into several souls and bodies just like Naruto and his Kage Buunshin. Awesomeeee. I can do all and every single thing listed here. Without a worry. This event is a big one and it is being held at a stadium in Shah Alam. Particularly about the transportation, the biggest problem ever. I can drive but I don’t know the way. And even if I did drove there, I would be stuck in the traffic. I still cannot accustom myself to driving at night. People keep reminding me of happy stuffs and delicious food and fun fun games at the Bon Odori. GARH.
There. Did I say I can list down seven to eight events for 12th of July? Looks like I’ve exceeded the estimated number. I underestimated myself. Wow. And heckshit hectic day. I can barely breathe properly while I type all of this out. It’s difficult. Lmao. The sad emotion kept washing over me while I’m posting this. In the end. What? I did not attend to any events except for the piano lesson and the relatives chapters. Other than that, I took the pain to refuse participation in any of them and remained loyal to my final unmoving decision. I stayed at home the entire day. Only went out for music class and dinner with my uncle and grandmother. Had my stomach burst at the food court near Carrefour in Kepong. I counted twelve dishes ordered by all of us, a total of 5 adults and 4 children. Bit appetite? I was hungry but maintained a limit for myself. I didn’t have a proper meal at all since morning. Yikes.
People might detest me for posting in such a long entry. That it’s like an essay and all. But oh well, it is my style after all. It is still, at some point, interactive. I think. Like, I’m typing all this shit out as if I’m talking to you in real life. Except that this piece is editable at anytime I want. And whenever I want. Have fun reading this. Or maybe not. I’m keeping this with a small-sized font, mainly because it’s really too long and I don’t want to waste the page. And, I like it this way. It gives my posts a style and personality. I don’t know. >u<
