Dear Boys...

Brothers till the end. Entering St. John's was one of the best choices I've made. I don't fancy the educational system there but I do treasure the people I've met there. I can't say 5 years studying there gave me the best education, I cant say that the teachers there are the best nor can i say that I've accomplished everything I wanted to do there. However, I can say this, the friends I have made there are indeed true friends. I've not always been the best friend to many, and i do regret it. I know that there were things that I've done that i still do feel bad about. And i know apologizing wouldn't change a thing. After two years out of St. John's i did hope that they would forgive me and put everything behind.

Today, I got my answer. They were all there for my farewell party at Jun Lin's house. I didn't thought that they were goin to show up at all. To be able to see their faces and shake their hands again made me feel that i'm part of them and all the history, just disappear. Were they putting up a show? I dun think so. I think the old boys of class 2007 grew to realize that the one thing that keeps us together is not St. John's... its brotherhood. And thats what they are to me.

In 6 more days I'll be leaving to Australia. Can't say I'm not nervous, yet its not like this is the first time I'll be facing a new scenery.

Till then, Fide Et Labore.

2 decades in the making...

Tired tired tired!!! I'm so tiredddd!!!! And my eyes are killing me! So friggin itchy!

Okay so i went out again yesterday and today (much cool). Yesterday I took another step CLOSER to adulthood, turning 20. Grrrr... hate growing up... =.= Aniways, i went to town yesterday to do some banking, shopping and certification (is there such word! @.@) for my Adelaide trip. Instead of goin out for party, i was duin all this crap... Owh well, never liked celebrating my "one-step-closer-to-adulthood" aniways. So, i spent the whole of yesterday running around the whole town (i gotta learn not to wear 3 layers... not in Malaysia at least). As mentioned, i was running around the whole town, and it was bloody hot! Got back at around evening and i was dead tired. I think i went to bed at 12 something. That was the earliest i've slept in months!

Today was much better as it has nothing to do with running around (and i wore 1 layer today and caught a cold =.='). Went out with cat, fewwet, kathrine and lydia in Sunway. Surprisingly i wasn't late! Hah! turns out i was the second one there! Cat wanted to shop for some stuff for her NZ trip so we all went window shopping! (i swear im not gay). Well half way duin so, we bumped into Jocelyn (she bumped into us), my Hokkien friend! hahaha... aniways, around 4 something they all left (blarrrdy hell all came late and go back so early...) and i went to Taylor's McD in SS15. Gawd, I miss that place. Saw Jin on the way so we talked for a while until 7 i think. Then i went back...

Aniways, I think i'll be heading to my bed now and probably stay in koma for a few days. After 6 days of continueous days out, I need to take a break. Aniways, thanks to everybody who had wished me on my birthday. I realy appreciate it. Thanks a million! :)

Well i guess from now on i'll be a "ty" instead of a "teen" (as much as i hate it). Thanks again for the wishes guys! Till next time...

Chi-ou-zzzz

PS

Fewwet dun post those pictures in fb...

Abang, 2 teh ais and 1 air kosong...

Owhhhhhkay! Lets see... Three days of continues outings. And there are still more to come!

Saturday:

Basketball Day! Last Saturday was probably the most fun basketball game I've played in St. John's in years. Mainly because all the big names of our school came. Its something like the All-Star Game in the NBA but made up of St. John's ex-students. Kamil and Afiq was came back from... their Uni... in... yeah... and their performance was nothing but awesome. The two Australian Brothers came back to dominate the court... as usual... Justin came back from Australia as well looking better than ever. Sadly the other seniors couldn't make it. But still, all in all, a good day of basketball. School was packed that day with students rehersal for Monday's event, St. John's 106th Birthday. So there were students everywhere. Felt like i was back in my Form 5 days.

Sunday:

The venue, KLCC. Time, after lunch time. Several of my friends went out to KLCC to celebrate Theng's birthday. As usual, Malysian timing, some of us were late (me... and some others). Well, no biggie, we still had our late lunch at Cilies. Had to wait for 20 minutes before getting a place and wait for another hour just to get served. Food was good but its HUGE! Not only i had to unbutton my jeans/geans, i had to un-zip it (yes, i know... un-zip...). We lepak-ed there for an hour atleast den head South to Megan Avenue for some pool (the stick and balls pool btw). The deal was "loser pay". But it was just 18 bucks aniway, so we all chipped in. It was fun, making noise in the cafe like we own it. And btw i think the manager con-ed us... =.=' (im not goin there again).

Then it was back home and out again to celebrate my grandmother's birthday! In PJ! omg.... so far... so i just slept in the car (^-^)v , as usual. Got home and i was beat... wanted to blog but got too lazy :P

Monday:

School's Birthday. Yes, today marks the 106th birthday of St. John's Institution. Also known as the retirement of our dera principal, Mr. Peter Yii Seng Chiu. Awwww... we'll all miss you YSC (short form for "you suck c*cks" ^^). Owh well, i guess your time as head is up. Time to pass on your tourch to another man. All hail to the new principal, Mr. Leong! (eh? another Cina? Haiyoooo... This time from Jinjang ar! Lagi die la wei). Well he seems lika a good man. Owh and his first action as the head was not to allow ani ex-Johannians to wear jeans/geans and shorts to the ceremony... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA, as if we care! This guy makes me laugh. We all wore jeans/geans to the celebration and he din do shyte about it... What a lame-o. Nice try dude, nice try :)

So the ceremony was over and me and a couple of my friends went for lunch. We went serching for... Wantan mee! apparently it was the cheapest thing we can afford... (=.=) and its HUGE! i swear oni a whale can finish it! After that, more pool! wohooooooo. Well i played snooker, for the 1st time... no idea what i was duin at all. And then i got myself all the way to Time Square for some Starbucks. Too bad David wasnt there... could have gotten myself a free drink... Owh well. But i did bumped into Samantha.

Got back home and now blogging.

Phew... okayyy. So that was the past three days. My body is telling me to go to sleep, but somehow i cant. Must be the bloody Wantan mee...

20 is still considered as a teen... believe it...

The flying blue dragonfly...

"A dragonfly flew into my room today and landed on my shoulder... I knew he was looking down on me..."

When i was really young, my grandmother told me that in every ending has a new beginning. I didn't understand what she was talking then. I didn't get the message that she wanted to tell me. Not until the day when my grandfather passed away. I couldn't remember what happened that day, whether i was crying or not. But i remembered that i saw a dragonfly, and it flew right across the room and landed on my shoulder. As i wanted to swipe it off me, my grandmother stopped me. She said "that'll hurt your grandpa." Again i din get what she was trying to say. So i just sat down and waited until it flew off. Ever since then, my family believed that the dragonfly was somewhat, my grandfather. And ever since then, my family will be visited by a little blue dragonfly every year around this month.

I've forgotten about this story for a long time now. But today, as i was sitting down in my room, packing for things that i need to bring to Australia, this little blue dragonfly flew into my room, and landed on my shoulder. Freaked the s**t outta me at first. But then later it flew on to my bed and then to my family portrait just outside my room. And it just stayed there, on my shoulder.

Thinking back now to what my grandmother told me, i dun really believe in all those life after death thing. But it is moments like this that makes the most unreasonable doubts seem real. Do i believe that a dragonfly is somewhat my grandfather? I don't know myself. But i know what i do believe, i believe that he will be looking down on me and my family while I'm in Australia.

Wishing that time can pass slowly...

Today is January 9th 2010 and the Dallas Mavericks are standing at 2nd in the NBA Western Conference. Not bad yeah? 25 W's and 11 L's. So far so good Mavs!

Counting down the days left ahead...

January! A new start to a new year! Happy birthday to all the January babies around the world. And of coz not to forget wishing a happy birthday to the year 2010. So far, its a slow start in the year for me. But I'm looking forward to this year. I'll be heading down South to Australia this coming February! Which means, 4 more weeks left for me in Malaysia. So for this entire month, I'm gonna enjoy myself to the fullest. People have been asking me to start studying now to prepare for Uni. But come on guys, who are you kidding?? I'm Aaron, I'm always last minute. Hope I still remember certain stuff in school. The last time I held a pen, my hands were shaking @.@ Owh wellzzz...

Superman tonight?

Superman tonight...

The time is 3.09 a.m. and I'm still wide awake. I really need to get myself a bed time. Not really sure if that will work. I've not been able to get a good night sleep for weeks now... months possibly. Dunno why... Thinking too much lately I guess. Two more days and a year is over. Time flies huh? Thinking back, 2009 will be one of my best years. I've met tons of good... no... great friends this year. I've graduated from ICPU. Be part of a World Conference. Went to huge concerts. Started playing music again. And now I'm all set for Uni. It seems like just yesterday, I was playing in the library with my friends. Or staying over with a bunch of crazy people, swimming in their front yard. Even before the year is behind me, I've already started to miss it. It is normal if a year passes us by, but its the memories that we share which makes its special. 2009 was full of great memories for me... that's why its special in my mind.

Happy New Year, to everyone, hope you had a blast in the year 2009 as I did and look for better ones in 2010.
