Chapter 3.2: Souls to remember

Its kinda sad to see the things we see almost everyday gone... The only two puppies that really bring joy to my life died on the 21st of January 2005. I did not cry, but deep down inside me was crying. Facing a sad reality, I went on with my life. On that day itself, my family and Marcus's family went up to genting. I got this news while I was eating in McDonalds when my sister start talking about the puppies. As I stood there, I remembered the times when I was playing with both Coco (browny) and Miko (blacky). They were born 5 months ago, together with another 2 more sisters. But unfortunately for the eldest one, died due to paralysis... then the other one was stepped to death (THX MELVIN!). Both Coco and Miko were the only survivors... I thought they'd be able to survive long enough, but sadly they've got effected from a virus that was from Xue Wen's dog (childhood friend). But I know that no matter what I do I could never bring them back again, like the saying "1 life, 1 chance". The least I can do for them is to go on with my life (yea i'm a dog lover). Back at genting Trevor and Marcus had lots of fun in the room (yea pillow fights). And for the first time, Marcus was kinda open to me (yea he talked to me about girls and stuff). Overall the trip there was kinda boring as the outdoor theme park was close due to the bad weather there. Right after coming back from genting, I got to invite my other cousins, Leon and Leonard to join us for dinner as Marcus was here. And well time passed in a blink of an eye, tommorow he'll be leaving back to Australia, even though its kinda short but I realized that i'm starting to appreciate everything i'm doing.

Here's a few pic during Marcus's stay;

Chapter 3.1: Money or friends?

After 3 weeks attending school, everything went well, I started working back at Oh! Sushi. Me and Kae Shiuh are planning to form an anime group. Currently i'm the one whois in charge of the storyline and Kae Shiuh will be finding people who're interested for now as we'll start our project on April (yea once i'm back from Japan ^^). School was almost the same, but Dexter isn't. Well he promised me that he'll treat me for lunch as me and dan helped him to get a job at where we're currently working. After 3 months of working there, I asked him to treat me a dish that cost RM20 but then he said its way too expensive (yeah right! working there for 3 months and already earning RM1000+!). Then after work on the last day hes working when our shift is over, he asked me to go and eat lunch his treat, I told him nevermind as because I don't want people to treat me as they're forced to and also RM20 isn't even 10% of RM1000+. The next day in school, he hold me back and then said "Hey I promise something i'll keep my words" (while taking out a RM5 note) I told him nevermind and forget about it, after that we rarely chat as we used too. Well this isn't one of his money issues, the other he had was with Kae Shiuh, Kae Shiuh needed to borrow a few hundred bucks for a few days, but then when he borrowed from Dexter and got charged tax ~.~. When Kae Shiuh owed me cash, I don't even charge this crap to him and my friends (tax!??? what tax!?). I also heard that he was such a fuss when he went to Sri Petaling to get his new shoes (yea long story, i'll make it short). He kept asking the retailer to lower the shoes price from RM39 to RM35 (RM39 out of RM1000+ a big difference?) he ask and ask and ask till the friends that were following him were so pissed that they gave him RM4. Money minded friends are nothing but blood-sucking peoples ~.~ (sad but true) and besides, hes no longer the Dexter I once knew. Next is this movie called "The Doll Master", a Korean based horror movie. The movie is great! Nice storyline and excellent performance from the main actress herself. This story is based on dolls, and yea the movie is kinda creepy though ^^". Lately I feel like my relationship with Angel is drifting away as I can't go online as often as I can.... I feel kinda guilty here... but I could not help it. For now i'll leave our relationship to the hands of fate and here, my new schedule;

Monday - Tuition 3pm~4pm, Work 6pm~10pm
Tuesday - Rest day ^^
Wednesday - Tuition 3pm~5pm, Japanese class 7pm~9pm
Thursday - Tuition 2pm~5.30pm
Friday - Japanese class 7pm~9pm
Saturday - Work 11.30am~10pm
Sunday - Work 11.30am~10pm

P.s: You readers can come and visit me at my workplace during these times, I can give you guys discount =P

Chapter 3: A new year with a new resolution!

This is gonna be one of my best years and also a year full with sufferings T_T. First i'm taking tuition to intensify my studies. Next my japanese class ^^, try and master my basic japanese language before heading to Kyoto in 3 months time ^^ (hopefully) . Then in 3 months time i'll be heading to Kyoto, Japan (yay finally!) on their cherry blossom event which is on the April for a homestay program ^^. Then right after that is STUDY STUDY STUDY, my schedule for weekdays are as follow;

Monday - Tuition
Tuesday - Tuition
Wednesday - Japanese class
Thursday - Tuition
Friday - Japanese class

Saturday and Sunday will be my offday as of now, yep and now my father had restricted me from using the computer except fridays and saturdays ~.~ which I don't think is neccesary. Maybe i'll try cosplaying this year =P (yeah maybe after I go and do something with my face). I hope after all those study, hopefully I'd be able to get 7~9 A's (at least). Then after SPM i'll go style my hair (yeap i'm gonna do it Japanese way ^^) since i've found out a saloon where they do Japanese hairstyles and their latest trend ^^. And finally hopefully Angel will get her phone before any of those ~.~ (yea I know i've been hoping for quite sometime already and in fact felt kinda bored typing the same thing over and over)

Chapter 2.6: The devil within

Many people used to say many good things about me like "Daryl you're nice" and all, but right after I told them that i USED to steal and I used to punched a girl, they go speechless. Yeap thats my dark side, it was 5 years ago, the last year that i'm in my primary school. I used to steal my parents hard-earned cash for my own pleasure, that is to go to internet cafe's during that year. Then a year later, I admitted it to my parents that I was the one stealing their cash, I thought they'd be beating the crap outta me but instead they prefer to forgive, after a few moments of lecture, they told me "Please don't do it again". Then later on as I went back to my room to think about the words they said while playing Final Fantasy 7. As that moment I started to changed and realized how I wasted 1 year of my life (yea Final Fantasy and my parents words changed the way of things I used to see). From that moment on, I totaly changed. I rarely get into fights, came back home right away after school, studies improved. Then while I was in my former secondary school that is SMK Batu 8 Puchong (this school sux 2 da max!) I was very unhappy with the environment there. I had lots and lots of problem communicating with other student as Puchong (the place I live) hardly has much english educated people. The class i'm in, the way they teach and all... I felt so lonely as I had not much people to talk to as my primary school. Till one day (not sure when it was xD) I was very moody, and theres this indian gal in my class whois darn arrogant and vain. I was looking outside the window where it happened to be the place where she sits. Then her friend told her I was looking at her (yea MAYBE in her dreams) then she came confronting me saying "Why'd you look at me for?!" then I replied "I'm looking outside the window not you @#$%^!". She then took her metal pencil box and hit me on the face (OUCH!!). I got so pissed that I punched her, but of course I hold back and her nose started to bleed (I swear to god I did hold back that punch, it was darn soft!). We were both sent to the dicipline room, where she lied about me assaulting her first ~.~, then the teacher was asking me to find an eye-witness, I brought one of the guys sitting in front of me explaining what really happened, the dicipline teacher found out that she assaulted me and god knows what that teacher did to that indian gal because right after that happened I was transfered to SMK Sultan Abdul Samad PJ (such a relief). Thats where I met great people and yea people who made me who I am now (gotta thank my parents for that too). Chapter 3 is up next!

Chapter 2.5: Those were the days...

Right after the tourney, i've had an sms from one of my taekwon-do classmate. She sent me this sms "Hey there! I'm a gal, i'm kinda short, like playing basketball who admires you" well its something like that. At first by the way she typed it, i thought it was Kae Shiuh thats fooling around, then after a few sms, i knew who it is right away, it was Felicia's friend Darshini ~.~ (I confirmed it by calling Felicia up). Since I knew who it is, I tagged along with her "lil joke" and it lasted for 3 days (lolz!), till she admitted that she's Darshini, saying "Oklar I don't wanna give you soo much tension on who I am, i'm Darshini". I told her I knew it and right after that she stopped smsing me (except christmas and new year eve). It reminds me of the gals that went after me 3 years ago. Yeah the first one was Su-Lyn, well this one tried to use me , Sarah told me exactly what shes trying to do (since Sarah was close to her 3 years ago), she warned me and yea I told her "Don't worry i'll know exactly what to do" that is to tag along with her lil sick game. Then a week later after that, we got very close (yea VERY close indeed), she started to sit near me everytime when theres no teacher around and chat with me about who I like and all. As days go by, she then started to ask me, "Do you like me Daryl?" I said yeap BUT i like someone else even more (yeap its true at that very year I met someone special). Then a few days later, I thought its best to quickly end this game but before that, I asked her "Do you like me?" she said softly "yea"... Right after that moment, I hardly chat with her, 3 years after that, I've heard that shes been sleeping with guys and all, I gotta give all the credits to Sarah for warning me ^^. Then another was Kar mun, well this one is....kinda lame, since she doesn't talk to me much (except for school studies), i've asked one of my friends to ask her why'd she like me and guess what, she said its because I teased her ~.~, then later she invited me to her birthday party . The way that Sarah and Grace acted during her birthday party made it obvious that she has a crush on me. I got my way out of there when I had the chance (her party was awfully boring). The last was Sabrina...... She has the most qualities that a guy would want and shes pretty alright, to start it off, Sabrina was my best friend in my primary school, same age as me. Shes always there when I need someone to talk to. Right after primary school ended we hardly contact each other, thats till year 2002, we met again at our school bus. Thats when I gave her my contact number, at that time, i've been calling Faith everyday (the same year as Su-Lyn was trying to use me). Then theres one day when Sabrina smsed me, i was kinda happy that she did as we have not been chatting for quite sometime. We chatted until where she smsed me that she has a secret but shes afraid to tell me. Not knowing whats so secretive it was until i replied her sms saying "Hey its alright if you don't wanna tell me or not, i'm yer best friend remember?". Right after she received that, she smsed me saying that she likes me thats when i went o.O (I had a crush on her during my primary time, but i just knew i had no chance). Don't really know how to reply that sms... then i smsed her that I think it'd be best as best friends (dumb reply). Then she smsed me saying "Ok" (or something like that, I knew at that time she was sad though....) We were like twins during those days. Later on we hardly contact each other, 2 long years i've been trying to get her contact number as I was conned with my phone and lost her contact number(long story). Then i finally got her number and i told her that she needs to know that, i too used to like her but i just knew that it would not happen. She said "Ok", somehow i felt kinda relief to let her know, after that we never chatted nor talked (sad eh?). At that time i was afraid of 2 things, to lose a friend and not being friends after a break up (that's exactly why i haven't got any special girlfriends at that time)

P.s: I was asked from a lot of my friends and fans of *~Life~* =D "What happened to you and Faith now?" well heres the answer, we're now friends, even though not as close as we were and we hardly talk to each other now, and maybe I was once one of her close friends, we're now just friends ;)
