The Internet

There are times when I am alone, and that is the time when my thoughts start to go wild.

As we all know, the internet had impacted the lives of many, be it for good or for worse. For me, it is for worse; I realized that I had become quite idle. Why so?

Well, it goes like this. I am inside my room dating with my computer while my bro is outside dating with his laptop. Both of us were leaving our MSN online for the whole time.

There’s this ending theme from the anime, Bleach (not the bleach we use for our laundry). The name of this song is Sakura Biyori. I had been hunting for it for quite awhile and finally saw it in Gendou. Apparently the song was uploaded not too long ago and I tried to download it but failed.

It’s because I had installed FlashGet since it was recommended by my friends and had no idea how to disable it from showing up and enquiring whether I want to continue the download or not. Of course I want to, but Gendou doesn’t allow download accelerators. Then I had my bro to download the song for me. I didn’t even walk out of my room and asked him to help me with the download. Instead, I used MSN and asked him to download the song for me and send it to me after the download is completed.

It seems that I used MSN to talk with my bro more than talking to him directly, which is not a good sign in the long run. As I drifted into my thoughts, I had been thinking how easy it is to just use your fingers to ‘talk’ with other people.

If you had made someone upset, all you have to do is just type this common apology that works almost anytime, anywhere -“[Insert Greeting and name of the one offended] I’m sorry for what I had done, please forgive me”; If you want to confess to someone you like, all you have to do is just type all those honey-coated words and hope that you will be accepted.

It is like there is no more sincerity. You could be saying anything to anyone half-heartedly or with a sincere heart, the other side does not know it; only you yourself know whether you really mean it or not. You could be laughing while you show a ' :( ' emoticon and talked like the world had offended you or you can use the ' :D ' emoticon showing all your teeth while you are down or sad.

I hope he's not disappointed. You know how AVs can arouse teenagers, especially males.

Sometimes I wonder...

Months ago you said that you dislike my current hairstyle as it looked untidy to you and preferred the previous one as i was told that my hair will coil randomly when it is long; I ignored it and let it be.

Then recently, our relatives and your friends all commented that I look good with my current hairstyle as I have those natural curves that I tried to get rid of but was in vain.

I wanted to know, is it that because of the good comments given by other people, only then you agree with my current hairstyle?

Or was it that you felt that it became suitable for me?

What if other people commented that my current hairstyle doesn’t suit me?

Will you tell me to trim it back to the previous one because of other people’s opinion?

Recently I had been hunting for Eyes on Me – Manami Kiyota. Searching high and low, I found it. My sudden surge of joy was replaced by disappointment as I am not allowed to download it from that website… So I requested to everyone in my contacts to share the song with me if he/she have it.

Berry purposely requested her bro to hunt that song for me since afternoon since he is free (as was told by her bro). He found it and sent it to me immediately. Words cannot express my appreciation towards both of them.

Again I want to say this to both of you: Thank you very much for helping me to get this song, I really appreciate it! :)

Another weird dream

I wonder how should I start… my thoughts are all in a mess. Gotta reorganize it somehow…

It all started this morning, I had another weird dream. I was in one of the 4 rooms linked together (looked like those 4 classrooms in fifth floor but somehow modified into a library).

There were quite a number of students there studying. Some were talking with their friends; some were lazing away doing nothing. I took out my HP and wallet and left it on the table while reading a book (no idea what I was reading anyway).

Suddenly, my wallet disappeared from the table even though I kept an eye on it all the time. I look around; searching for it frantically and finally saw it on the table. Grabbing it, I flipped open and to my horror, all my money inside were taken away. Well, not all, but almost all – only 5 bucks left. Maybe the thief was ‘kind-hearted’ enough to me to allow me to use the 5 bucks to take a taxi home? The good thing about it was that he did not take away my student card, IC and those important stuffs I kept in my wallet. (Greedy little thief)

Then I saw someone who resembled Izzudin walking to my direction and console me, giving me 10 bucks (if not mistaken) and warned me to be careful of the thieves in this place. I thanked him.

In a flash, I was transported to somewhere near King Centre. I was told that SMK Stampin had moved to that area. While walking past the shops, I saw Cath and Mei Sien. They were wearing Japanese school uniforms (what the heck?) so I thought that the school had decided to follow the Japanese version of school uniform which is totally impossible in reality. I thought I was hallucinating until they greeted me and say something like ‘why didn’t you greet us? Have not met each other for awhile already start to ignore us’ in mandarin. (Pardon my crude translation)

Then I visited the school, it had been over 1 year since I last stepped into it. To my surprise, I saw a basketball court. The last time I saw, there wasn’t even a basketball court – only 2 rings (not even worth to call baskets as there are no nets on it) so low that you could even touch without jumping. Everything surely had changed was what I told myself.

I noticed a young palm tree somewhere at the entrance of the school and decided to vent my anger by breaking the tree (yes I know that’s wrong but I never did that, did I?). Amazingly, I broke it into two as if the body of the tree was a twig. Again I tried to break it into even more pieces but I felt a surge of pain on my own arm instead.

Then I woke up and realized that my right hand was holding my left arm all the while. The first thing I did after waking up? You’ve guessed it. I look for my wallet and checked its contents. Everything is still inside. Thank God this is just a dream.

The time was 0700 in the morning. I have only less than 25 minutes to prepare myself as my instructor will be coming at 0725 to fetch me to finish the remaining 3 hours out of the 6 hours of workshop stuff (3 hours in workshop; no idea what the other 3 hours is for). I was right. My instructor told me to wait for 3 hours and I will get my ‘L’ license. Boredom kills.

Thinking back, I was lucky that what I had experienced was just a dream and nothing more. I remembered that the money inside my wallet was stolen once when I was in Form 4. It goes like this, I left my wallet somewhere near the Surau as we had our physical training classes there. It was there, the next moment it disappeared. I looked everywhere for it but it was in vain. In the end I lodge a report in the headmistress’s office and she passed me a wallet, my wallet. Saying that someone picked it up not too long ago and questioned me if it was mine. Of course it is mine. I said nothing except a ‘thank you’ and left. All my money inside were taken away, only five RM1 notes remained inside, luckily that thief did not take away my IC.

The stolen 50 bucks was meant for me to buy a reload coupon for the online game – Pristontale, which I had played last time till it became a P2P game.

Sigh. What a day.
