Chapter 4.4: Soshite... Boku no sekai ga kawatta (And so... My world changed)

Being tickled at my legs... Those were the first thing i've started to remember for the first time. My grandpa from my mum's side loves disturbing me at the age of 3. He'd always call me and then start tickling my legs and my grandma, although i'm not the heir to the Wee family which is on my mum's side, i'm the most favourable grandson I don't know why but at the age of 3 until 7, my grandma would always be there for me. At that time, my mum and dad were working very hard so basically they had no time to spend with me, Trisha or Trevor. I remembered going to Melacca at the age of 4~7, with no fails, my grandma will bring me out with Trisha to a shopping complex named "Fajar" hiring trishaw pullers to get us there (if thats how you spell it). Once we reached there, my grandma would always get for both me and Trisha Mcdonalds. Sadly, my grandpa on my mum's side past away when I was only 5 years old (if i'm not mistaken). A few years later after that, my grandma, who loves walking around alot, couldn't walk as much as she could as she was hit by a stroke. Now she couldn't even walk with ease, she'll need help to go through her daily routine. That was the first time I felt really sad. When I was 5 in a kindergarten, i've met this chinese boy who would always stick with me whatever I did, I kinda forgotten his name but I didn't forget about the stuff we did when we were younger. Whenever the school bus reaches his house on the way to our kindergarten, he'd always prepare for me some chewing gums and sweets to share with. Even though we kinda had some communication problems as he can't speak english well, whilst I can't speak a single Cantonese but somehow we understood each other. After kindergarten, we both went to our separate ways and we didn't meet after that... well not quite true actually... I met him at Standard 6, which was in year 2000, we met through Counter-Strike. At first I didn't realize but later on after, I realize that he was that Chinese friend who'd always stick around with me when I was in kindergarten. Even though I realize that he was the one, I didn't mention anything about it with him... At that time, I thought its best if he doesn't know. That was the first person whom I called friend. At the age of 5, my mum loves watching love and romance movies, being naive and curious as I was when I was young, I wanted to try kissing as I was curious (well what can I say?). So in the kindergarten bus, theres this girl I know, Sarah (LMAO! I still can remember her name) we kinda sit near each other and talk. Of course I wouldn't expect her to say yes if I were to ask her to kiss me, so I made a plan. Later that afternoon when kindergarten ends, and we went into the bus, I purposely stand near her sit and was waiting for the bus to jerk, so that I could drop on to her, simply saying as to make it look like an accident kiss. I don't know why but somehow my plan actually worked (LOL!). The bus jerked and my lips touched her lips, and I told her sorry saying that it was the bus. At that time, she was blushing, wasn't even listening to my apologies. At the same time I was thinking how dumb I was as kissing isn't anything at all (well like I said, it all happened when I was young and naive). I thought that kissing would taste sweet (XD).
Well thats my first kiss for me (LMAO!). When I was 12, i've never thought of what like is... well thats until I met April Chew. Well April is two years younger than me and her background is from a wealthy family. Well the ironic part of this is that both me and Trevor was going for her (XD). Trevor and April is in the same class, but he is a bad liar. Whenever I bring up something about April, he'd always be on ears and he'll keep saying I don't care about her. Also at that time, Sabrina was close to April, Sabrina is my best friend during my primary school life. Sabrina would always give me ideas on how to get April and all, telling me about April's birthdate, her favourite stuff and activities. But sadly... at that time Sabrina had a crush on me... well she didn't bring it up until year 2002 when I was in form 2. The truth was also that I too had a crush for Sabrina when I was in standard 4 but I told myself that I could never imagine becoming a malay, so I gave up on Sabrina. Back to April, I bought for her a necklace for her birthday (well which was dumb) even knowing that I could never beat Lim Kit Leong over her as he was going for her as well. At that time, I don't look good at all as my hairstyle was always a box-cut/crew-cut hairstyle, whilst although Kit Leong don't have the looks, he has the style though. That was my first time going through a lot of troubles over a girl, although in the end Kit Leong has her attention and not mine. It was that same year when I was an arsehole, stealing my dad's cash to satisfy my pleasure to go to internet cafes when I was 12 and 13. That is the only thing i'll ever regret my entire life. At the age of 13, I felt like my life is meaningless, my classmates were jerks and sluts (its true, its what they've become now). I was on the same pace until... well I met Ong Joe Lin, Dan and Li Yen. I met Joe Lin through Magic The Gathering cards at Comixtra at Section 14, we started off as magic friends, and later on thats when he gave me Li Yen's number and asked me to go for her. As for Dan, I met him as one of the Red Crescent member who helped me out with my sprained arm. Well I was kinda playing with one of my indian friends in a bus when he brought up a metal pipe and he scared me off till I dropped off the bus and sprained my arm. Well as for Li Yen, it started off as an SMS (yep XD). That was the time when I started to realize that my life had a meaning after all. And then later on thats when I started to meet great peoples like Jia Hong, Pei Chuen, Wayne, Lexie, Ah Kit, Eric, Andy, Hui Ying, Michelle, Rachel, Amanda and not to forget Azwandi (^^). At year 2001 and 2002 that was when my true underdog story starts. People in the school at my form hates me, I don't know what the reason is, but alot of people says that i'm a cold and heartless person and blablabla. Also I can still remember Buford and Suren's exact words to me, saying "Daryl don't ever dream Li Yen would even talk to the likes of you, you're damn ugly and you have no chance at all". At that time I kept quiet and just smiled at them. A few months later on at year 2002, I made progress with Li Yen and I got acknowledged by most of the people who hated me, like Buford, Suren, Tee Yong, Brian Wong, Sam Chan, Tee Yew, Jiann Yet. Those were the first time I felt like i've accomplished something related with my own life and I didn't go for Li Yen because of what Buford and Suren said, its because I really liked her (^^). Oh yeah, the first person I idolize other than my mum and dad is, my older cousin brother, Lionel. Most of the time he is always sarcastic and all but at that time I thought that it was cool having those personality, the reason I changed my hairstyle from box-cut to centre-parting was also because of him ( I know that this is all of a sudden big bro but its a fact, i've always idolize you when I was little ^^). Even though my older cousin Lionel is not even blood related, he is still family to my family. Now for the present, I've recently had a car accident which almost cause Dan, Kae, Hong and Guan Shern's life, but luckily we all made it out without a scratch (well other than my dented Kancil =/). Well it was a rainy night and also my car tires were bald and the stereng had a problem which I didn't knew until recently after the accident. I called my dad and told him the situation, I thought that he'd go berserk and screw me up, but instead the most touching thing he told me came out, which goes "I'm.... just.... glad that you're alright". My dad is an egoistic person and he is not the kind of person who knows how to express his feelings, well as for me, I also have these difficulties... (=/). As for my SPM results, I had A1/GCE-04B for my english, 3B for my English for Science and Technology, 7D for both Maths and Malay language. Well as for the rest I failed (=/). When I received my results, I realized my weakness, its because of my hatred to the Malay language, it costs me with any malay-related subjects to fail. I'd thought that I had to resit for my SPM, but luckily I am still able to get into Stamford College KL, studying Business Administration. My class will commence on the 3rd of April and my break days will be on Monday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Also the reason why I went to KL instead of staying in PJ with my friends is because... I want a new environment, I wanna meet new people and also I think its because my instinct tells me to go to KL, even though its sad that i'm not with any of my friends from my high school life, but its for my own future. Aite I think that this is it, look forward for the next update ya!
