The Past

"Forgotten in sands, destroyed by time"

Just finished organizing my closet. I expected it to be filled with cramps of worksheets, foolscap papers and broken pencils and other stuffs hateful in the sight of God. However much to my amazement, I found some historical things worth pondering over. For instance, a Primary Three Mathematics "General Revision 3" worksheet was incomplete and clamped between the stack of "Young Scientist" magazines which all belong to me... Worth reflecting for at least three days... I must have been a true genius to be leaving notes on childish-design notebooks to guide the present me to my lifelong aspirations.

Since Primary Three, science had always been my passion in school; the passion that misled me to believing that ghosts, vampires, werewolves, zombies and Frankenstein exist because of science. The passion for Science also led me to believing that anything and everything that happen in this world are all like experiments that are either complete or incomplete, or failed. I was also brilliant in my Science subject in P3, which is why I was third in class back then...

Ah... Memories of that little significant friendship that eventually forged into an undying bond between me and my three best friends in Primary School. I could remember when I was mindless as a squid and had to be 'controlled' by the entire class, although some of them didn't really care. I was usually 'controlled' by people like Ray, BX and some others like Seri and Kaman and Lynn... I was the highlight of the class who always get into trouble. How nostalgic it felt right now...

I also found some materials that pushed my mind back to 2006 and 2007, when I belonged to the B class. I had sworn a never-ending hatred to a jerk in the name of Zhang Wen Han. Also, I met many new fiends like Howie, Gerard, Edmond, Peh Yu Heng etc. I remember befriending Serene and Wei Min, whom I eventually regarded them as 'sisters'. Well, that was life in pre-puberty. I was awesome, with the earned title by Mr. Lye of "lost sheep from the herd". Generally it was meant as a joke, and I did take it as a joke...

Now that I've grown up, I don't need anymore 'controls'. The past is the past. We can do nothing to change it. Okay... Assuming we DO know how to create a time machine, how do we even USE it? The past shall always be buried deep in my heart and soul.

Rui How's Birthday

"

It's his 16th Birthday, anyways. I just happen to be able to post this today because I'M FREE~!! Still it's depressing for me not to be able to post this kind of post on BX's birthday..

In Facebook, I call him "Ray". I'm not sure why though, but I personally feel it's cooler if we had short, informal names, in case our actual names sound so formal that we think it ain't cool.

This guy, Ray, has a really suffocating life in his secondary school. Indeed I have to salute him for having to survive Secondary school horrors without backup. At his current status, he is relentlessly mocked at by classmates whom had bad impressions or rough times with him before. I also feel sorry for him when I was always an asshole towards him. Not only that, I even called him stinky names such as "mai kai", which is glutinous rice in some dialect. I should have understood his miserable state before acting up all despicable to him. In fact, he certainly is a fun guy to hang out AND screw around with during the hours of occasion when we meet together.

This Ray dude plays one of the most significant roles in my life: he was my best friend since Primary 2. Counting from the time we met and became friends, we have been buddies for EIGHT YEARS. Clear enough why is he significant now?

He has appeared countless times to aid when I got into trouble or was in an emotional status. For instance, when I once got into trouble with some douche in school in Primary Three, I hit him hard on the side of his skull with my pencil case with a metal ruler in it. He bled a little, then he turned all pussy towards me. The douche even created a commotion that got me into disciplinary actions. Just then, Ray reduced the 'charges' pressed against me by stating that I only did it out of misunderstanding when I thought that douche bullied my other friend(a minor character of the story) and only did it to protect the friend. Rather than defend the douche, Ray defended me as if he was my lawyer at that situation. sincerely appreciated his help and would like to thank him once again.

Today is his birthday, however I couldn't find the gift I intend to buy him, because the stupid thing is that the gift I found that resembles the gift I feel ideal are all found to be for girls only. I mean- isn't it stupid for a guy to be wearing girl's stuff? I guess I have to procrastinate this to our next meeting up...

But still, I wish him prosperity in our upcoming 'O' Level examination. Happy 16th Birthday, Rui How! :D
