Cause I Had a Bad Day

because final exam kicks off next week, i’ve been very very words-cant-describe busy. my hours were spent only on project assignments, study for tests, and preparation for presentations.

as of this week itself, i have 4 presentations, 3 tests, and 2 project assignments due. lets not mention last week. imagine, everythin crammed into the last 2 weeks before finals. even if you werent born a robot, you will practically be made into one.

now comes the saddest part. today, i walked out of the administration buildin with my examination ticket. this piece of paper is a must-have in order to sit for your finals. half way drivin back to my house, it rained. it pour so heavy as though the clouds peed like there’s no tomorrow, and i could feel my car’s tires skid a bit every now and then.

when i reached back, i quickly rushed into the house (my car was parked outside some distance away). without noticin, my examination ticket slipped out of the pile of notes i was holdin on my hand, and landed perfectly in the middle of the road.

in my room, i scrambled through my notes only to find out that my examination ticket werent there anymore. i dashed outside, retracin my every step. there it was, lyin on the road, in pieces. the only word that came across my mind at that particular moment was “shit”.

havin picked up the pieces, i brought them up to my room and dried them up before stickin the bits together. that seriously sucks, i tell you.


my examination ticket… or what’s left of it

i wonder if the invigilators would accept my examination ticket next week, or i could be fined rm50 for not turnin up with a legitimate ticket. man, what a bad day.

that damn crease!


i think ironing shirts is the most tedious thing to do..
u know how when u lay the shirt out like a canvas,
waiting for the iron to heat up,
and when the iron first touches the shirt,
it feels good to be able to iron out all the wrinkles,
having the iron weave in and out through the corners, between buttons, under the collar..
SUDDENLY the shirt decides to fold without u noticing and u run your iron over it
and it creates this short lines of crease
and u think, “well, lets just iron it out”
but nope, it wont go away!
and the more u iron, the more frustrated u get…
u run your iron over the crease..
over and over and over again but its just SO STUBBORN and it wont straighten out!

dont u think creases like these are THE pain in the ass when u’re rushing to iron your shirt and u’re running late for work?
(ok maybe not for most ppl.. but more for the OCD ppl hahaha)

well, i was doing that this morning,
and i realised that ironing a shirt is like a frienship..

its just like when we meet a new person,
we start by getting to know each other..
and as the friendship deepens, we start to understand and know more and more about the person
be it their past, present and future aspirations..
and its just like how the iron weaves in and out of all the corners and buttons..
and like how the wrinkles get ironed away,
the unknown becomes known
and the mysteries surrounding that person fades away..

and like how, on a good day, our shirts decide to be kind to us,
some friendships lasts forever without much problems..
but like certain very annoying shirts,
some friendships are just as hard to ‘maintain’
and the crease created by the iron is like how a betrayal is by a friend (or yourself)..
and no matter how much we try to make the ‘crease’ go away,
it hardly ever gets smoothen out..
the lack of trust is like the lack of starch.

dont u think?

1130 : Nasi lemak with a piece of fried chicken, biscuits

1500 : A cup of mashed potato, soto, daging, fish ball, bits of roti telur

1800 : Feel like wana makan a packet of Nips again

But cannot leh… yc sure cook dinner liao de. Just waiting for her to nudge me down. Die ler… I’m actually used to this situation. When it comes to doing assignment & studying for exam, there’s one thing that I cannot live without… Food. I just have to chew something. If not, I cannot concentrate. Seriously!

Somemore this sem I haven’t even eaten any instant noodel though I want to. But I can’t stand it!! My dearest, lovely boyfriend forbid me from eating it. I know it’s unhealthy but… at least I’m eating something & I totally hate the feeling of starving. Makes you think that you are poor. Sigh…

So, this few days, bought some snacks behind baby’s back. Well, he’ll gonna read this anyway. But hey, I gotta do what Malaysians love the most. MAKAN!!

remember how easy it used to be..


.. to dream?
to want to reach for the moon
and not have anything hinder or slash your dreams?

i’m finding it increasingly hard to do that..
to dream.

an experienced person once told me,
“Never stop dreaming, or life stops.”

i find that to be rather true.
that is because we then have got nothing to look forward to
nothing to aspire to be..
nothing to work towards.

and thats when your life falls apart
your soul starts to slip away from u like jell-o sliding off a spoon
and at the end of it, all u see around u, are just remnance of the past, of other people’s future and what others expect of you.

dont u think it was so easy to just sit and dream,
dream of what u want of yourself for the future?

this cruel world, however, tends to block our vision of the sky
every step we take only adds a brick to the wall at the corner of your eyes
so that at the end of it, all u see is a tunnel vision

but every now and again, u meet people or come across things that takes a brick or two away
and those are really precious moments where a little extra bit of light seeps thru

speaking of dreams,
i had a nightmare
it aint any ordinary nightmare.
let me story you….

“i enter a room, and the room looks familiar.. i’m searching for something.. something that is very important and i’m impatient to find it.. but yet its not anywhere to be found.. and a friend walks in and tells me, its right there in the room.. and she points to a short bookshelf at the foot of the bed..
suddenly, i find myself outdoors.. there’s an old shed beside me… trees around me but i’m in a clearing.. i see myself being blindfolded by a group of kids.. there were boys and girls.. and we start playing a game of Blindfolded Catch.. i hear the kids’ laughter, i hear them running, i SEE them running.. and then i feel myself being back in my body reaching out to catch the little children running around.. i can hear them.. i know they are near.. i hear a little girl right in front of me.. so i reach out to grab her.. but there was nothing there.. and i suddenly realize that, i am all alone.. the children were spirits.. but i still hear them laughing their happy little laughter..
i’m suddenly back in the room, and i find the thing that i’m looking for.. it is a magazine..”
thats when i got up..

somehow in my dreams, when i realized that there were no children there but i could still hear them, my spine went COLD
its not how u feel a shiver running down your spine..
literally, my spine went cold..
from the inside out
and that was the freakiest thing i have ever felt..
nothing has ever freighten me more than that dream
and when i open my eyes, i see 3 white water like streams running down the left side of the air con..
it looked like the air con was bleeding something white..
they were not shadows.. i’m on the 16th floor..
and i had absolute certainty that i needed to burn that particular magazine..
coincidentally, the mag was just brought into the house by me earlier on in the day.
from the room, i could feel a figure squatting over the bag that contained the magazine
it was cold, grey, blue and bald with odd long legs..
it looked as though it was tied up and thrown into some place that was water based
its not the first time i’m seeing this figure..
the last time i saw it in the room was when it used its fingernail to scratch the bottom of my right feet at 7 in the morning…
the bedside lamp was quickly turned on..
the white streams went away.. just like that..
and just when i pulled myself up to a sitting position,
the bed broke in half..
from head to foot, right down the centre..
the screws that were holding the bed was split clean in halves
the only way anything like that could happen was if there was super heavy weight on the bed..
(i’m not that fat, damnit)
the spirit had climbed onto the bed..
i went into the hall, the cat went still and stared at one particular spot in the hall..
so did the fishes in the small fish tank..
i go to the couch, and i smell strong incense (like someone burning potpourri)
i switched on the tv..
blasted the volumn and waited for sunrise..
thank god sunrise was only half an hour away..
every time after that, when i looked at the bag that contained the magazine,
i get goosebumps all over my body..

sounds like fiction huh..
well it happened to me
so, as expected, i wont be sleeping anytime before sunrise for the next few days..
i’m afraid to sleep..
a kind of fear that’s so new its scary in itself..

apparently, i’ve got a spirit clinging on to my ankles
and it wants help

GOD HELP ME!
