Real Life ~ A Quite Impossible Interest

HiHi Everyone, Today's Topic Is About An Interest That's Quite Impossible To Happen.

It's Actually Related To Manga. xD

Ever Since I Started Getting Really Into Manga, I've Noticed A Respectable 'Job' That Can Be Done.

It Is... SCANLATING! Scanning And Translating A Manga!^^

I Appreciate The Work Done By Scanlaters/Scanlators A Whole Lot!

If Not For Them, Reading Manga Would've Been Totally Impossible For Me. =S

After All, It's Something Like A Volunteer, Ya Know?

They Don't Do This Job For Money. They Do This For Free.

But, Hey, I Think The Reward's Worth It. People Praise And Thank You For Doing That. They Think You Rock. They Respect You.

Well, That's How I See Them. Even If They're Just Normal Humans Like Us All.

I Wanna Scanlate Too!^^

I Found Translating Fun Though It Was Quite Exhausting.

Here's A Bad News: I Don't Have A Scanner. =[

It's Not Like I Can Buy The Manga As Well So I Would Need A Manga Provider To Lend Me One.

Proof-Reader Is Also Needed To Check For Mistakes.

Here's A Question: What Program Do They Use To Translate After The Scanning? o.0

Haha, I'm Quite A Dreamer Here.

I've Seen Many People Recruiting Translators And Asked People To E-Mail Them For Recruitment.

For So Many Times, I Was REALLY Tempted To E-Mail To Them.

Gah! I Can Only Translate Simplified-Chinese To English. That's WAY Easier Than Translating Traditional-Chinese To English.

If The Words Are Not Big And Clear Enough, Translating Them Would Be Quite A Problem There...

I Can Recognize Only These Languages Written In Words:
- Simplified-Chinese
- Traditional-Chinese
- English
- Bahasa Malaysia (BM)

I Bought 3 GAKUEN ALICE Mangas And Tried Translating Them To Myself.

They Must Have Used Kanji To Write The Characters' Names. I Could Recognize Some But As For Others, It Took Me Quite Awhile To Understand. Lolz.

The Ones Mentioned Earlier Were All In Traditional-Chinese And I Learned Simplified-Chinese So... It's Quite Hard Recognizing Some Words. Haha.

Still, That Didn't Stop Me From Wanting To Contribute To Mangafox(www.mangafox.com) And Onemanga(www.onemanga.com).^^

So Anyways, Thanks To You Reader(s) For Supporting Me.

Have Fun And Take Care, Everyone~!^^

Live On~! =D

Mails ~ 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, And 10

This is hilarious...even an Englishman could not construct sentences using numbers!
Exclusively only to great Malaysian and Singaporean........

Ah Lek was asked to make a sentence using 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10 . Not only did he do it 1 to 10, he did it again back to 1.

This was what he came up with...

1 day I go 2 climb up a 3 outside a house to peep. But the couple saw me, so I panic and 4 down. The man rush out and wanted to 5 with me. I run so fast until I fall 6 and throw up. So I go into 7 eleven and grab some 8 to throw at him. Then I took a 9 and try to stab him. 10 God he run away. So, I put the 9 back and pay for the 8 and left 7 eleven. Next day, I call my boss and say I am 6 . He said 5 , tomorrow also no need to come back 4 work. He also asks me to climb a 3 and jump down. I don't understand, I so nice 2 him but I don't know what he 1 .

Mails ~ Never Laugh At A Chinese

*THIS IS NOT REAL, I SUPPOSE BUT IS A FUNNY ONE LOLZ!*

A Chinese man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. He tells the loan officer that he
is going to China on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the Chinese man hands over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produces the title and everything checks out.

The Loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Chinese for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan.
An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.


Two weeks later, the Chinese returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.
The loan officer says, 'Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi-millionaire. What puzzles us is why you would bother to borrow $5,000? The Chinese replies: 'Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there safely when I return.'

Mails ~ Amusing 5 Minute Management Course

Lesson 1:
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings.
The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.
When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour.
Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.'
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.
When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?'
'It was Bob the next door neighbour,' she replies.
'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?'

Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.


Lesson 2:
A priest offered a Nun a lift.
She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg.
The priest nearly had an accident.
After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.
The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'
The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.
The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'
The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.'
Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.
On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.'

Moral of the story:
If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.


Lesson 3:
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.
They rub it and a Genie comes out.
The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.'
'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.'
Puff! She's gone.
'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.'
Puff! He's gone.
'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager.
The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.'

Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.


Lesson 4 :
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.
A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?'
The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.


Lesson 5 :
A turkey was chatting with a bull.
'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.'
'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients.'
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.
He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Moral of the story:
Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there..


Lesson 6 :
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.
While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.
As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.
The dung was actually thawing him out!
He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.
Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Moral of the story:
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

Mails ~ When A Girl...

*THIS ONE MAY BE QUITE USEFUL AND AT THE SAME TIME, USELESS TO YOU GUYS OUT THERE BUT WHO KNOWS, MAYBE IT MIGHT HELP YOU ALL OUT THERE! I HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER TO BELIEVE IN SOME OF THEM OR NOT~!*

When a GIRL is quiet ... millions of things are running in her mind..

When a GIRL is not arguing ... she is thinking deeply.

When a GIRL looks at u with eyes full of questions ... she is wondering how
long you will be around.

When a GIRL answers ' I'm fine ' after a few seconds ... she is not at all
fine.

When a GIRL stares at you she is wondering why you are lying.

When a GIRL lays on your chest .. she is wishing for you to be hers forever.

When a GIRL lays on your chest .. she is wishing for you to be hers forever.

When a GIRL says ' I love you ' .. she means it.

When a GIRL says ' I miss you ' .... no one in this world can miss you more than
that.

*THIS PHRASE ADDRESSES TO BOTH GUYS AND GIRLS*
Life only comes around once make sure u spend it with the right person ....

*FROM HERE ON, THESE PHRASES ADDRESSES TO GIRLS*
Find a guy .. who calls you beautiful instead of hot.

who calls you back when you hang up on him.

who will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the guy who ... kisses your forehead.

Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.

Who holds your hand in front of his friends.

Who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.

Who turns to his friends and says, ' That's her!! '

*SWEET... <='] BUT HARD TO BELIEVE FOR ME... T.T*

Mails ~ What To Do When You're Abducted

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do :

The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!


2. If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse,

DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM .

Toss it away from you....

chances are that he is more interested

in your wallet and/or purse than you,

and he will go for the wallet/purse.

RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!


3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car,

kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole

and start waving like crazy.

The driver won't see you, but everybody else will.

This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars

after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit

(doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.)

DON'T DO THIS!

The predator will be watching you, and this

is the perfect opportunity for him to get in

on the passenger side, put a gun to your head,

and tell you where to go.

AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR,

LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

If someone is in the car with a gun to your head

DO NOT DRIVE OFF,

repeat:

DO NOT DRIVE OFF!

Instead start the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car.

Your Air Bag will save you.

If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it.

As soon as the car crashes get out and run.

It is better than having them find your body in a remote location.

5. A few notes about getting

into your car in a parking lot,

or parking garage:

A.) Look around you, look into your car,

at the passenger side floor, and in the back seat

B.) If you are parked next to a big van,

enter your car from the passenger door .

Some serial killers attack their victims

by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

C.) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle,

and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone

in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back

and get someone - guard/policeman to walk you back out.

IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator

instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT!)

7. If the predator has a gun

and you are not under his control,

ALWAYS RUN!

The predator will only hit you (a running target)

4 in 100 times; And even then,

it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ.

RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic:

STOP

It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer,

was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played

on the sympathy of unsuspecting women.

He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often

asked 'for help' into his vehicle or with his vehicle,

which is when he abducted his next victim.

9. Another Safety Point:

Someone just told me that her friend heard

a crying baby on her porch the night before last,

and she called the police because it was late

and she thought it was weird. The police told her

'Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.'

The lady then said that it sounded like the baby

had crawled near a window, and she was worried

that it would crawl to the street and get run over.

The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way,

whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.'

He told her that they think it's a serial killer

has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax

women out of their homes thinking that someone

dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it,

but have had several calls by women saying that

they hear baby's cries outside their doors

when they're home alone at night.

Please pass this on and DO NOT open the door for a crying baby ----
The Crying Baby theory was mentioned on America's Most Wanted when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana

Mails ~ Wife+ABCDEFG...‏

Four guys and a woman are stuck in an elevator.

While they are stuck, they strike up a conversation.


The first guy says, 'I'm a Y.U.P.P.I.E., you know....

''Young, Urban, Professional, Peaceful, Intelligent, Ecologist.''


The second guy says, 'I'm a D.I.N.K.Y, you know...

Double Income, No Kids Yet. '


The third guy says, 'I'm a R.U.B., you know...

''Rich, Urban, Biker. '


The fourth guy says, I am a D.I.L.D.O, you know...

'Double Income, Little Dog Owner.''


They turn to the woman and ask her.. ''What are you?''

She replies: 'I'm a WIFE, you know...

W = Washing
I = Ironing
F = F*cking
E = Etc.

Then we have "ABCDEFG"

Do you know the meaning of,
ABCDEFG
A Boy Can Do Everything For Girl.

Reverse meaning of,
GFEDCBA

THIS IS JUST FOR LAUGHS AND TO CHEER LONELY HEARTS OUT THERE~!^^

Real Life ~ =S

Gosh... What On Earth Am I Gonna Do Once The GAKUEN ALICE Manga Ends?

I Pray That It Would End Beautifully. After All, Everything Has Gotta Come To An End Eventually. =S

When This Pic Appeared, (DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE PIC)


I Swear I Was Gonna Faint When I Saw The Word "Finally, The Last Chapter---!!"

Now Thinking About It, It Meant That The Chapter About The "Time Travel Arc".

Well, That Was Just My Guess. >.<

Now I Just Gotta Wait For The Next GAKUEN ALICE Manga To Be Out On December 5th In Japan!^^

Honestly, Gakuen Alice Manga Is Like The ONLY Manga I Actually Look Forward To.

I Used To Go After Vampire Knight As Well But I Guess I've Stopped. It Has Been Quite Some Time Now.

Quite Depressing. The Part Where They Were At The Ball For Vampires, The More They Talk, The More It Somehow Made Me Feel Bored And Sleepy. Lolz. Dunno Why Though.

Have Fun And Take Care, Everyone~!^^

Maple & Life

Maple Life Is Back And Then... OVER! And Then... BACK AGAIN!

See? How Simple It Is. How Fickle-Minded. Lolz.

Honestly, What Good Do You Get From Playing Maple Besides Enjoying Your Time There?

That Question Is Still Bothering Me A Lot.

After Training My Aran Char To Lvl 30 And Trial MC Once, I Decided That It... SUX A Whole Lot.

And Also, Not Long Ago, I Used Wind Breaker MC Twice, DCed A Billion Times Including When Aran Char Was Used During MC, Yeah, It Wasn't Infuriating Or Anything, No Scammers Or Anything Also, But It STILL Sucked A Whole Lot.

It Just Isn't As Fun As When I Was A Maple Addict Anymore...

Now That Maple Is Stopped For Awhile Until God-Knows-When Again, Anime And Manga Are The Only Options.

Sadly, Since Sis Is Playing Maple, Watching Anime Online Would Only Make Her Lag More So It Is Totally Out Of The Question At The Moment.

Manga? Hmm, Great Idea, Except... WHICH Manga? Waiting For Gakuen Alice To Be Out Now But Other Than That, There's Nothing Else.

Watching Anime DVD Now Would've Been Great But I'm Still Not Used To Watching NATSUME YUUJINCHOU.

Heh, Heh. I Know, I Know, I'm Really Picky And Particular About Everything.

Just Let Sleeping Dogs Lie, Okay?

Oh, I Forgotten To Tell You Reader(s) About Buying A New Anime DVD With The Title PANDORA HEARTS.

I Bought It Yesterday From A Shopping Complex While Hanging Out With My Friends. We Watched The Movie "2012". The Best Part Was When This Lady Gave A Selfish Guy The MIDDLE FINGER! LOL. That Always Cracked Me Up. HaHa.

Well, I Really Don't Feel Like Talking Now So I'll Just Publish This Post Already.

Have Fun And Take Care, Everyone~!
Live On~!

Real Life ~ D.Gray Man Watched Finish!

Aww, How Sad. I Loved That Anime.

Even Though The Anime DVD Had Some Problems, I Managed To Watch ALL 103 Episodes.

I Enjoyed Each And Every Episode.

I Actually Felt Really Sorry By The Time I Finished Watching Every Episodes.

Now Moving On To NATSUME YUUJINCHOU (Season 1) And ZOKU NATSUME YUUJINCHOU (Season 2).

Not Only That, I'm Also Watching PIANO FOREST.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As For YouTube Upload, I've Already Uploaded About ALL 30 Songs From The Album "The Ultimate Secret Garden".

Just Having Trouble Processing The Last Song Which Is Ridiculously Long!

I'll Re-Upload Again Tomorrow Or When I have The Chance To.

Have Fun And Take Care, Everyone~!

Real Life ~ Unbelievable Miracle

An Unbelievable Miracle Just Happened- And I Have No Idea How On Earth Did That Happened To Me.

It All Started With A Normal Morning And A Normal Afternoon. I Done My Homework After Taking A Bath As Usual.

Nothing Was Extraordinary That I Know Of, Nothing Unusual, Nothing Out Of Place, Nothing Wrong.

See? How Normal And Dull Was That? xD

At About 4PM+, I Just Done The Maths Homework And Suddenly... A HUGE Explosion Was Heard! It Turned Out To Be My Tuition Center And That Meant That I Didn't Need To Go There Anymore. I Cheered.

LOLZ.

I Was Joking. Seriously, I Might Consider Wishing That Happened Though. Muahahahahaha!

Actually, What I Meant To Say Was That Suddenly, The Phone Rang.

I Thought It Was Going To Be One Of My Friends Calling To Remind Me About The Outing Plan This Saturday. These Days, She (The Friend) Had Been Posting On My Profiles Reminding Me About The Outing And Also Counting Down The Days. >.<

Surprisingly, The Phone Call Came From Dad. He Phoned Using The Mobile Phone. I Didn't Expect Him To Call At All. He Usually Phoned Mom Via Her Mobile Phone.

Here's The Whole Conversation:
Me: Hi.
Dad: Hi, Is This Natsumi Yuuta?
Me: Er... No, This Is Evangeline Stewards.
Dad: Haha. You Changed Your Name Again, Eh?
Me: Heh, Yeah I Did. Lolz.
(I Was About To Hand The Phone Over To Mom When Dad Cut In)
Dad: So... Do You Still Want To Play The Violin?
(That Question Totally Caught Me Off Guard)
Me: Yeah... Of Course.
Dad: Tell Me The Reason Why You're Into Violin.
Me: Oh, I Just Love The Sound That It Makes.
Dad: Really? So What Made You Wanna Learn To Play It?
Me: It's Just That I Love Sad Songs And It Interested Me, The Sound It's Able To Make.
Dad: So... What Sort Of Support Do You Need, I Mean, The Support You Need From Me In Order To Play The Violin?
Me: Support...? Er... I Dunno...?
(I Perfectly Knew The Answer But I Dare Not Dream Of It!)
Dad: You Dunno?! So You Don't Need My Support Then?! So... What Is The Support?
Me: Really, I Dunno...!
Dad: Let's Say... If I Were To Enroll You Into A Violin School, Would You Stay On?
(WHAT Did He Just Say?! O.O)
Me: Yeah, I Guess I Will. =]
Dad: Then... Would You Keep Your Promise Of Not Giving It Up?
Me: Yes, I'll Try Not To Run Away And Give It Up.
(I Knew He Was Thinking Of The Stuff I Used To Be Interested In And Ended Up Giving Up)
Dad: Really?
Me: Yeah, About The Piano, I Was Forced To Play It And I Didn't Appreciate Music At That Time. Now, This Is The Interest That I Chose.
Dad: How Does It Feel Now That You Have That Support?
Me: Just... WOW. Am I Dreaming? (Near Tears)
Dad: Pinch Yourself And See.
(I Pinched But Neither Way Hurt Lolz)
Me: Y'Know What? Pinching Never Hurts. xD
Dad: So You Really Won't Give Up Halfway?
Me: Yes.
Dad: OK Then, I'll Bring You To The Music Workshop Later In The Evening. Be Ready. Cya Later!
Me: OK...!

This Entire Conversation Is Definitely A Dream! An Illusion! It Can't Be True!

How On Earth And Why Of All People Is It My Dad? This Question Is Still Soaring Around And Around In My Mind.

I Know I Planned To Test My Interest Span In Violin By Making Myself Wait. I Had To Wait Until I Could Work For My Own Money And Afford One Then Afford A Violin Class.

But Now... What's Happening?

Mom Questioned Me Who Called Just Now. I Told Her It Was Dad And That He Would Bring Me Somewhere Else Later.

Mom: What About Dinner? I Am Cooking Now.
Me: I Dunno... He Just Said He Would Bring Me There In The Evening.
Mom: Where Is It? Why Are You So Excited?
Me: I Dunno...? (Grins)
Mom: Really, Tell Me. What Could That Be?
(Telling Mom Would Be As Good As What Happened In My Dream About The Violin From Previous Post. It Would Probably Get Mom And Dad Start Quarreling And I Will NOT Have That Happening)
Me: Nothing. Dunno.
Mom: Hmm, What COULD That Be...?
(I Thought Mom Got A Hint Already Since I'm Already Smiling Like That)
Me: OK, It's Violin.
(Short Pause)
(Slight Frown Detected!)
(Uh-Oh... What Now?)
Mom: Hey, But That Will Take Your Time And Your Interest Span Is Always Short.
Me: Mmm... (Looking Away. I Do NOT Like Where This Conversation Is Heading. It's Gonna Turn Out Like The Dream Before, Except This Is For Real. T.T)
Mom: You Better Not Give Up Halfway, I Tell You...!
Me: O....K...

Jeez, Her Words Always Discourage Me. This Is Why I Can NEVER Let Her Know Everything That Goes On In My Mind. My Dreams And Fears. My Stress And Pressure. My Troubles And Worries. EVERYTHING!

Unfortunately, I Always Give In And Inform Her In The End, Giving Her High Hopes.

See How Pathetic Am I.

I Waited And Waited. I Washed My Face And Got Dressed.

More Waiting...

He Finally Return But Shown No Sign Of What Happened During Phone Conversation.

No Expression. Nothing. Blank!

I Started Thinking That I've Gone Nuts And Tricked Myself Into Believing That Phone Conversation Happened.

Dad Acted As If Nothing Happened. He Went To Take A Bath And Even Until Dinner Was Served And Finished, He Still Never Spoke A Word To Me. Nothing At All.

I Began Shattering Slowly... Wanting To Kick Myself For Buying That Dream Was Real.

As I Was In The Bathroom, I Overheard Dad Telling Mom That The Music Shop "Yamaha" Will Close At 10PM And That He's Taking Me There. Mom Said She Was Going As Well.

Oh Well, I Don't Mind Her Going Along. Hope Nothing Goes Wrong.

Mom And Dad Got Dressed And Ready To Rock And Roll!

Lolz, Kidding.

We Went To The Music Shop After Finding A Parking Space For The Car.

Inside The Music Shop Near My House For The First Time, I Was Amazed At How Beautiful The Shop Was, What With All The Musical Instruments Everywhere. It Was As If I Entered An Unknown World. A Dream Land.

I Grinned Immediately At The Sight Of The Line Of Violins Hanging On The Wall Near The Drums.

Dad And Mom Asked About The Violin Lessons. I Just Sat Quietly, Not Knowing What To Do.

When It Came To Looking At The Violins, I Could Almost Glow.

Finally, I Held A Full Size Violin. I Tried Placing It But The Shoulder Hurt A Lot.

The Position Felt Awkward And Painful. I Tried On Another Smaller Violin But It Still Hurt.

The Shopkeeper Said That The Teacher Should Be Present To Advice And Determine My Violin Size.

I Was Starting To Worry That I'll Never Be Suited Well With Every Violins.

My Parents Told The Shopkeeper That They Would Think About It And We Went Grocery Shopping. After That, We Head On Home Straight Away.

They Talked About Music Teachers And My Old Piano Teacher...

Just The Talk About The Old Piano Teacher Just Gave Me The Chills. Ugh.

Mom Told Me This During Grocery Shopping...

Mom: So How Does It Feel Holding The Violin?
Me: Painful... Especially The Collarbone.
(That's When It Struck Me That You Shouldn't Put It ON Your Collarbone But The Flesh At Your Collarbone! How Could I Forget?! Guess I Was Nervous At That Time)
Mom: Piano's Just Sitting But Violin Is Standing. See How Troublesome It Is?

See? This Is Why I hate It When She Starts Discouraging And Swaying People's Hopes And Confidence Away, Especially For A Person Like Me With No Confidence Whatsoever...

Dad Assured Me That He Will Find A Teacher For Me, Smiling. Mom Smiled As Well Though There's Something Not Quite Right About It...

Still, I Wish I Stay Interested In It Til The Very End.

Hopefully There Will Be A Violin Suited Well For Me Without Costing Too Much Money.

Have Fun And Take Care, Everyone!^^

Dreams ~ Violin

Wow, I Just Had Another Dream Not Long Ago And Surprisingly, It's About Violin!^^

This Time, I Played It Well In The Dream Lolz.

I Can't Quite Remember The Start But I Knew That I Finally Told Mom About Wanting To Learn Violin.

Like In Real Life As Expected, Mom Refused And Told Me About How Fickle-Minded I Am And That The Interest Will Fade Away Sooner Or Later.

I Then Took My Own Real Violin Out.

That's Weird. I Really Have No Idea How I Got My Own Violin In The Dream. Haha.

I Placed My Fingers Correctly At The Frog Of The Bow. Then, I Put The Violin Accurately.

Now's Where The Weirdest Part Began. xD

I Tried A Few Notes Not Knowing What Notes They Were And I Somehow Played The Song "Song From A Secret Garden"!

I Was Amazed. It Was Strange... I Didn't Have The Scores To The Song And Yet I Played The Song Without Even Recognizing ANY Notes!

Mom Was Slightly Shocked But She Still Said, "That's Not Good Enough So No, You're Not Going To Learn The Violin."

I Was Slightly Disappointed But I Held Tight Onto My Own Violin And Went Somewhere Else, Feeling Glad Because As Long As I Have My Own Violin, I Know I Can Try Very Hard To Learn On My Own. (A.K.A, Self-Learning)

~~~~~~~THE END~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I Woke Up, Feeling Happy As I've Dreamed About Violin Again.

=]

Even Though I Have Yet To Touch A Single Violin, I Just Hope Now As All I Can Do Now Is Hope, Cling Hard Onto Hope, That I Can Attend Violin Lessons, Holding My Own Violin. ='D

Although I May Have REALLY Bad Days When It Comes To Violin, I Still Want To Believe That I Can Keep This Interest Long Enough To Actually Own And Play One.

Have Fun And Take Care, Everyone.

I Apologize For Those Depressing Posts Before.

Besides, We Humans Have Our Sunny And Rainy Days.

Real Life ~ Please Stop... T.T

Please Stop... I'm Begging You... T.T

These Negative Feelings... It's Giving Me A Really Hard Time...

I Feel Like Shattering Into A Billion Pieces...

I Feel Extremely Guilty, Extremely Hopeless. This Empty Feeling. This Numb Feeling. This Stabbing And Piercing Pain.

What's Wrong With Me? Why?

Am I That Depressed? What For? It's Not Like I'm Really Sad Now But I Just Can't Help Feeling REALLY Insecure And Guilty.

I Feel That No Matter What I Done, Nothing's Enough.

I Feel That I Can Never Do My Best, Like My Best Is Just Not Enough And Never Will Be.

It's Driving Me Crazy That I Can't Help Sweating Even Though The Weather Is Cooling.

I Am Running Out Of Breath... Can't Breathe...

I Am Losing My Mind.

Any Help Out There?

I Am Starting To Think I Really AM Going Insane. Mentally Insane. I Have This Feeling That I Need Professional Help.

But Guess What? I CAN'T get That Sort of Help!

It's Not Like Mom And Dad Will Believe Me. I Don't Even Wanna Burden Them Any Longer.

I'm Trying To Be The Best Daughter I Can Be And Help Them Out In Any Way.

It's Just That Whatever I Do, It Doesn't Seem To Help Much. It Doesn't Feel Like It's Enough.

I Feel Really Bad For Accidentally Hurting My Friend During A Badminton Game. In The End, My Friend Got All Quiet And Mad, Frowning. Gosh, That Look Made Me Feel Like Killing Myself. It's ALL My Fault! Because She Got Hurt, The Game Had To End Early. I Ruined The Game And Atmosphere.

I Also Feel Really Bad For Not Doing Any Better For The Exams. It Disappointed My Mom And Dad AGAIN.

I Just Feel That I Shouldn't Be Laughing Anymore To Show My Sorry And As A Way of Punishing Myself.

I Don't Deserve Any Of These Fun Moments At All. I Don't Deserve To Live.

No Matter What I Do, I End Up Hurting Everyone Close To Me.

I'm... A TERRIBLE Person!

I Wish That I Didn't Exist. Without Me, I Wouldn't Have Had To Hurt Everybody's Feelings And Everybody Would Have been Many Times Happier.

I Wish I Could Somehow Delete Myself.

Guilt And Hopelessness Is Taking Over Me...

I Hardly Enjoy Reading Manga Now Because I Feel Really Useless. I Could've Done Something Better, Something More Educational To Prove Mom And Dad.

But Deep Down, I Just Feel Like Lying Around Doing Nothing. I Just Have This Strong Feeling Of Wanting To be Alone And Never Be Seen by Anyone Again.

So Tell Me, What's WRONG With Me?!

Real Life ~ Recognizing Depression Symptoms

THESE INFORMATION ARE FROM WWW.WEBMD.COM

Common Symptoms Of Depression Can Make Work And Daily Life Almost Impossible. Depression Can Skew Your View Of The World, Making Everything Seem Hopeless. Depression Can Make You Feel Utterly Alone.

-Feeling sad, empty, hopeless, or numb.
These feelings are with you most of the day, every day.

-Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy.
You might no longer bother with hobbies that you used to love. You might not like being around friends.

-Irritability or anxiety.
You might be short-tempered and find it hard to relax.

-Trouble making decisions.
Depression can make it hard to think clearly or concentrate. Making a simple choice can seem overwhelming.

-Feeling guilty or worthless.
These feelings are often exaggerated or inappropriate to the situation. You might feel guilty for things that aren't your fault or that you have no control over. Or you may feel intense guilt for minor mistakes.

-Thoughts of death and suicide.
The types of thoughts vary. Some people wish that they were dead, feeling that the world would be better off without them. Others make very explicit plans to hurt themselves. One of the best ways to prevent suicide in someone that is depressed is to recognize the warning signs of suicide. Take these signs seriously.

The good news is that depression is a treatable condition that responds to a variety of treatments.

-a sudden switch from being very sad to being very calm or appearing to be happy
-always talking or thinking about death
-clinical depression (deep sadness, loss of interest, trouble sleeping and eating) that gets worse
-having a "death wish," tempting fate by taking risks that could lead to death, like driving through red lights

IF YOU'RE HAVING MORE THAN 5 OF THE ABOVE SYMPTOMS, PLEASE GET HELP FROM SOMEONE.

Real Life ~ Bizarre Night

HiHi, Everyone. Today's Post Is About A Bizarre Night I Went Through Last Night.

After Finding Out About The Website That I've Just Posted About, I Think I Finally Realize That I'm Going Through Depression. o.0

From The Website, I Learned That I Have Almost ALL The Symptoms That Are Listed Out There But I Wasn't Feeling That Depressed At That Moment.

When Homework Time Came, I Got Scolded By Mom(AGAIN! -.-) About Maths.

The School Teacher Hadn't Taught Us The Chapter About 'SOLID GEOMETRY' Yet And Is Now Rushing To Teach Us All When The Final Exams Have Ended.

The Homework That My Math Teacher Gave Seemed So Easy But When Mom Checked My Calculations And Methods, She Started Yelling At Me. I Was Like, "What The Hell? I Thought I Was Doing Fine..."

Due To Frustration And Sudden Breathing Difficulty, I Kept Sighing Whenever She Pointed Out The Mistake I Made.

It Sucks. She Misunderstood What My Sighing Meant And Started Yelling Her Head Off Again. =.=

She Started Mocking Me And Imitating My Sighing, Slightly Exaggerating It. Not Only That, She Started Complaining About The Facial Expressions I Make Whenever She Gives Me A Homework. She Even Said That She's So Damn Pissed Off That She Wished She Could Just Send Me Off To A Tuition Center And Let Other People Handle Me.

TOTAL '=.='!

She Already Understood That This Chapter Of Maths Is Completely New To Me And That I've Not Mastered Everything Related To It Yet She Expects Me To Know The Correct Answer Straight Away.

She's Not The Only One Thinking Like That.

Our Darn School Maths Teacher Thought That All of Us Students Go For Maths Tuition And Gave us A Question Without Teaching The Methods Of Solving It! Only After Someone Brave Enough to give Out An Answer, The maths teacher Finally Tells Us The method.

I HATE It A Lot When The Maths Teacher Comes To My Desk Telling Me That I'm Slow And To Do Faster! Oh C'mon! I'm NO Genius And Prodigy! I Am Just A Student TRYING To Cope. Urgh, She Thinks I Can Think REAL Fast And Solve real Quick!

I Need To Find Out The method And Check And Confirm before Giving out An Answer, Y'Know, Teacher! >.> We're Not Supposed to Rush our Work And Simply give Out An Answer. After All, Every Wrong Answer Ended Up being Laughed And Jeered At by The Class And teacher. So What's The use of Being Fast When Not Being So Accurate In The End? She Really Drives me Up The Wall.

So Continuing The Bizarre Night, Mom Got So Sick of Me That She Left The Room And Started Complaining To My Dad. Of Course I Can Perfectly hear EVERY Word She Said. I Could Hear Every Word So Well That I Wanted To Die Straight Away.

She Doesn't Even Know That I Am Already Blaming Myself A LOT And Feeling REALLY Guilty For being Who I Am Now. I hated Myself SO MUCH That I Wished I Didn't Exist But She has Yet to Believe Or So Much As Understand My Words And Feelings.

I Couldn't help but Cry Then... I Know I've Vowed To NEVER EVER Cry But It's Just So Tough! WHY! Why CAN'T She Just Understand Me For once...? I Know I've repeated This Question In My head And Blog Post many Times But I've Yet To get A Proper Answer! I'm Even Starting To Cry Now Thinking Back About It... Sorry, Reader(s), I Am NOT Strong... At All...

I Cried Silently, Not Willing To Let My parents Know As They Will Just Laugh At me And Scold Me In The End...

From Then on, I Couldn't Help But Keep Feeling Down.

Feeling So Down That I really Want To Die.

Please Stop With The Word "Emo". It's Quite Irritating Now.

Feelings Are Strong And It Affects People A Lot...

By The Time I Was In Bed, That's Where The Bizarre Part Started.

If I've Not Mistaken, I Was Just trying To Sleep As Usual But At Least The Down Feeling Reduced. I Dunno Why But I Suddenly Had Hot Tears Slipping My Eye Lids. Before I Knew It, I Was Crying. At First Silently Then Turn To Noisily With Heavy Breathing As I Try To Stop The Tears.

It Was Weird, Very Weird. I Sorta Knew The Reason For The Unexpected Tears But Wasn't So Sure. Part Of The Reason Could Be Coz Of The Yelling From Mom Earlier But Could Also Be Coz Of The Past Sad Memories.

As I Racked My Brain For The Possible Reasons, I Somehow Started Thinking Back Those Sad Pasts. Some Of Them Hurt And Some Don't. Even So, The Tears Remained Warm And Endless.

What's This? Crying Marathon? >.< Lolz.

From The Endless Crying, I Grew Increasingly Sad And Depressed.

I Finally Fell Asleep At God-Knows-What In The Morning.

I Woke Up Early With A Slight Sore Throat. My Eyes Were Sore From Last Night's Crying.

I Couldn't Go Back To Sleep When I Woke Up. I Had No Choice But To Wait For The Alarm Clock To Ring. =x

I Couldn't Even Go to School. Mom Thought I Seem Really Sick.

Weird... o.0

Anyone Experienced The Same As Me?

Sorry For:
1. Self-Absorbency
2. Grammar Mistakes
3. Spelling Mistakes

Have Fun And Take Care, Everyone!^^

Short Story Answers ~ The Lost Pet

The Idea Of The Story Was Given By My Own Mom As She Was trying To Help Me Write The Essay For BM Tuition.

I Added Some of My Own Ideas And Edited About The Whole Essay To Post It Here.

Wow, I Actually Translated This Essay From BM To English. It Is Somewhat Easier To Translate From BM To English Than From Chinese To English.

Haha. How Unexpected. I Never Thought That I Would Use One Of My BM Essay As A Short Story To Post Here.

Still, I really Hope That You Reader(s) Will Enjoy The Short Story.

Hmm, I Find Writing Short Story Better Than A Novel. I Guess it's Only Because Short Story is Well, SHORT And Also Easier To Compose.

If I Were To Write A Novel, It Will Obviously Take More Than One Day To Complete it And I've NEVER Completed One Before. I've Left 2 Hanging. Lolz.

The hardest Part Is Finding The Time To Write The Novel. I Would Have To Note Down Sudden Inspirations Into A Notebook Or A Piece Of Paper So That I Wouldn't Forget Them. I Had To Write Out A Summary Of The Whole Novel.

You Can Say That It's Troublesome(Because It IS!). >.<

Anyways, Take Care, Everyone!^^

Short Story ~ The Lost Pet

As I Was Wearing The School Shoes Preparing For School, I Suddenly Felt Something Strange In My Shoe. The Strange Feeling Was Soft, Slippery, Slimy And Damp. I Took The Shoes Off And Flung It Onto The Ground. What A Laugh. It Turned Out To Be My Little Brother's Pet Frog That Somehow Went Missing Since Yesterday.

It Was Raining Heavily Yesterday, What With All The Thunder And Lightning Competing With One Another. The Loud Noise Frightened My Pet Cat Like As If It Was A Bomb. The Cat Jumped Onto The Table And Knocked Over The Cage Of The Frog. The Cover Of The Cage Opened Up When The Cage Fell To The Floor.

At That Exact Same Moment, The Electric Of The House Tripped. The Whole House Was Pitch-Black And It Made Finding The Frog Harder Than Before. I Cursed Under My Breath. Little Brother Also Noticed The Absence Of The Frog. He Started Whining And Begging The Whole Family To Find It.

Everyone Including Me Searched The Whole House But Failed. We Have No Clue About The Whereabouts Of The Frog. Little Brother's Tears Spilled To His Cheeks. Dad Tried To Comfort Him And Promised Him That The Search For The Frog Will Continue Tomorrow As It Was Late At That Time. Mom Also Promised Little Brother That If The Frog Was Unable To Be Found, She Will Get Him Another Frog.

Little Brother Murmured That There Wasn't Any Other Better Frog Out There. I Couldn't Help But Roll My Eyes. He Was Being Kinda Pathetic There, Crying Over One Lost Frog. Still, I Can't Blame Him As The Frog Meant A Lot To Him.

Little Brother Was A Strange And Shy Kid. He Never Laughed Or Smiled Until The Day He Found That Frog In The Park. His New Pet Only Made The Other Kids On The Street Think Him A Total Nutcase And An Utter Weirdo. Little Brother Surprised Us When He Ignored The Other Kids That He Once So Desperately Wanted To Befriend With. He Changed A Lot Since Getting The Frog.

Mom, Dad And I Wondered A Lot About What Made Him So Interested In That Frog. Why Of All Stuff Is It That Creature That Amazed Him So Much? What's So Great About A Frog? It's Slimy And Stinks Up The Whole Room. Even So, We Continued To Let The Frog Stay.

Little Brother Did Nothing But Only Played With The Frog Whenever He Was Free. His Laughter Would Surround The Entire House, Lifting Our Low Spirits. Because Of His Cheerfulness, He Finally Got To Make Friends In School. He Soon Became Really Popular With Everyone. He Was Known As The Clown.

Now That I've Accidentally Found His Frog, I Handed It Straight To Little Brother Who Was Moping Away. He Had This Big Smile On His Face That It Actually Somehow Part Annoyed And Part Cheered Me Up.

All The Same, I Am Just Glad For Him That The Frog Has Returned To Its Owner.

Real Life ~ Inspired

I Am Truly Inspired.

Ever Since Watching Ben Chan Playing His Violin And The Beautiful Sound That A Violin Makes, I Was Inspired To Learn To Play A Violin.

Not Only Because Of His Violin Playing, I Was Also Inspired By The Instrumental Music That I've Been Listening To Recently, Especially Sad Ones.

I Am Becoming More And More Desperate To Learn How To Play A Violin.

I Even Started Wishing That I've Learned To Play The Violin Instead Of The Piano When I Was Younger.

The Day That I Could Probably Finally Hold A Violin And Play One Is When I Become A Psychologist Or Get My Own Earning Power To Own A Violin. With A Violin, I Can Attend Violin Lessons.

Hopefully The Teacher In The Future Violin Classes Would Be Patient And Kind. Unlike What I've Experienced In The Past From Those Previous Piano Teachers, They Were All Mostly Mean And Nasty, Utterly Unkind And Impatient. They Totally Freaked Me Out To The Extent Of Tears!

It Still Horrifies Me Now Thinking Back. *Shivers At The Memory*

So Anyways, When I Can Afford My Own Violin And Violin Lessons, I Wish That I Wouldn't Give Up Hope When I Find Out That I Suck At The First And Further Tries.

Haha. I Heard That It's VERY Tough To Learn And Play The Violin. >.<

Still, I Wanna Give It My Best Shot And Aim For The Day To Afford One And Learn To Play One. =x

Guess What? I Even Got So Desperate To Play One That I Even Dreamed Of It! Lolz.

Here's How The Dream Went...

One Of My Friend Is A Daughter Of 2 Musicians. One Plays The Violin And The Other Plays The Piano. They Will Sure Make A Great Combo As A Team!^^ That Friend Learned How To Play A Violin But Haven't Been Practicing. So One Day, I Asked Her To Bring Me One And Teach Me How To Play. She Agreed To Let Me Try And Really Brought One The Next Day. I Somehow Had My Own Fake Violin And Tried Playing It. Because The Strings Weren't Real, It Broke When I Tried To "Play" It. xD When The School Ended, She, My Other Friend And I Rushed To A Quiet Place To Try The Violin Out. She Actually Held It UPSIDE DOWN While Playing It. Some other Students Saw And Gathered Around. After She Played A Short While, She Handed Me The Violin To Try it On. I Was About To Flip it To The Correct Way to Play it When I Decided That Since That Was The Way She Taught Me, It's Best That I Follow As Well. I Got The Few Starting Notes Exactly Right. Weird, Her Violin Makes A Lower And Deeper Sound Than Other Violins. I Suddenly Forgotten How The rest of The Song Went And Also Forgotten How To Hold And Play it So I Gave It Back To Her. She Laughed And Told Me That it Was A Good Try For A Start And That's When The Dream Ended.

Funny And Strange Dream, Right? I Was Kinda Frustrated By The Time I Woke Up. Even In The Dream, Why Can't I Get A Proper Tutorial? Lolz. It Was So WEIRD Playing The Violin Upside Down.

I Just Hope That The Future Violin Lessons Would Not Be So Expensive. This Is So That My Dream Would Come True.

Any Of You Wonder Why I Can't Learn To Play The Violin Now?

It's Because I Knew Mom Wouldn't Trust Me Playing It For Long. I Knew That She Would Worry I Waste Her Money On The Violin And The Lessons. I Knew She Lost Faith In Me When it Comes To Musical Instruments. Thanks To Piano. But That Was A Different Story! She FORCED Me To Learn To Play One When I Was About 4 Years Old! (Oh C'mon! I Was Only A Kid And Didn't Know How To Appreciate Music!)

I Performed In Concerts Before. I Played The Piano Until I Could Cry. I Hated And Love It. In The End, Hate Won And Love Lost. That's Also Thanks To The Scary Piano teachers. They Scare The Creep Out Of Me. They Yelled The Living Day Lights Out Of Me. They Rushed The Breath Out Of Me. They Just Wouldn't Take It Easy And SLOWLY Teach Me.

Only 1 Or 2 Piano teachers Were Fine But Mom Found Them Not Good Enough So She Changed To The Scary ones Over And Over. @.@ It Drives Me Insane Now Thinking Back Of The Changes Of Teachers And The Many Faces I've Seen And The Attitudes of Theirs That I've Dealt With.

When I Finally Got To Quit Piano, She Told Me To Still Continue Playing One. She Said She Would Love To Learn As Well.

Seconds To Minutes. Minutes To Hours. Hours To Days. Days to Weeks. Weeks To Months. Months To Years. None Of What She Said Happened. I Was So Darn Afraid That I Avoided The Piano And The Talk Of Piano.

Mom Eventually Gave Up And Sold The Piano to Someone Else At Probably A Lower Price. After All, The Piano Was Old And Mostly Had Problems. She Got Pissed Every Time She Had To Get Someone To Fix it.

Wow, Thinking Back Once More, The Teachers Weren't The ONLY Scary ones! Mom Was ALSO One. She Was So Damn Sarcastic That I Cried During Piano Practice.

Mhm, I Really Wish I Can Still Try The Violin Without Crying Because Of It. Of Course, 0% Of Crying Is IMPOSSIBLE But Hopefully It Won't Bring Terrifying Memories And Give Me Phobia Of Violins In The End. Lolz.

So, I Hope You Reader(s) Don't Mind The Rambling In This Post.

Forgive My Self-Absorbency And Any Grammar/Spelling Mistakes.

Take Care, Everyone! I Hope The Next Day Awaiting You Will be Perfect And Wonderful To You!^^

Thanks Very Much For Checking Out This Blog. =D

You Seriously Make This Blog Worth Continuing. =]

Short Story Answers~ "I'm Sorry, Mom!"

This Story Has Totally NOTHING To Do With Me Or The People In My Life.

It Was One Of The Questions Asked In The Chinese Exam Paper.

I Chose To Write This Story Because I Felt That It Would Be Sad. After All, I LOVE Sad Stories. No Idea Why Though. Lolz.

Some Parts Of The Story Are True. I Just Extracted Some Truth And Added Them With Something Else That MIGHT Have Happened To Me If I Wasn't Careful Enough.

I Translated And Edited The Story From Chinese To English.

Hopefully You Won't Think The Story Is Too Stiff As I Am Not Used To Translating From Chinese To English. It's Easier The Other Way Round During Exam. Haha.

Take Care, Everyone!^^

Short Story ~ I'm Sorry, Mom!

"Mom, I Want To Be A Doctor When I Grow Up." This Phrase, I've Repeated It Over And Over Ever Since I Was 4. I'm Still Saying It Now.

"Well, If You Want To Be A Doctor, Please Study Hard, Get Good Results In Exams, Make Me Happy!" Mom Always Used This Phrase To Reply Me.

"I Sure Will, Mom!" I Smiled At Her, Keeping My Promise.

Ever Since I Promised Mom, I Studied Real Hard. I Done Every Homework. Every Word I Don't Understand Would Be Checked By Using The Dictionary. If There Were Questions That I Couldn't Solve, I'd Ask People For Help And Explanation. I Just Never Knew How To Give Up.

Back When I Was In Elementary School, I Passed Every Exam Papers With Flying Colours. Everytime Mom Saw My Exam Papers, She Would Have A Big Smile On her Face And Praise Me For Being A Good Kid, Assuring Me That I Will Definitely Be A Doctor One Day.

In High School, That Was When Everything Changed Drastically. I Made Bad Friends. I Started To Play Truant. Books Were All Left Aside. I Never Done Homework Anymore. Bad Decisions Were Often Made. I Felt That Studying Was Way Too Troublesome, Leaving School To Play Computer Games At Cybercafe Was Much More Interesting.

When The Principal Phoned My Mom To Notify Her About Me Playing Truant, She Immediately Scolded Me Badly. I Ignored Her Advice And Left Home Quickly To Meet Up With My Friends.

Exam Finally Arrived. I Felt That Every Question In The Exam Paper Were Hard. I Could Answer None At All. I Then Decided To Take A Peek At Other Students' Answers. In The End, I Was Caught In The Act By The Teacher In Charge. The Teacher Immediately Gave Me 0% For My Exam Paper. The Teacher Informed My Mother About Peeking At Answers And That I Would Get 0% For Every Exam Paper.

When We Returned Home, Mom's Face Was Red. She Yelled At Me But Cried In The End.

"Didn't You Promised Me You Would Study Very Hard? Didn't You Want To Pass Every Exam To Be A Doctor? Then Why The Hell Is This Happening? Give Me An Answer Right This Minute!" Mom Sobbed.

"Mom, I... ... I... ..." I Looked Down. Now I Recalled The Reason For Studying So Hard All These Years.

"Do You Have Any Idea How Disappointed You Made Me? You Don't Seem Like My Real Child Anymore. Please Leave, Get Away From Me, Don't Ever Come Back Home, You Have No Right To Come Back Here Anymore."

My Tears Escaped The Eye Lids, Pouring Down. I Cried Loudly. I Don't Know What To Do To Get Her To Forgive Me At All... I Really Regretted What I've Been Doing All These Time.

"Leave Now! GO! Since You Love Playing Truant So Much, Why Don't You Leave Home As Well?!"

"Quick Go! I Don't Want To Have To See Your Face!" Mom Pushed Me Towards The Door.

She Fell To The Ground And Cried.

I Disappointed Mom Too Much... No Matter What I Do To Atone My Sins, Nothing Would Ever Heal The Wound In My Mom's Heart. What I've Done Had Pierced A Hole Through Her Heart. It Can Never Be Mended.

Mom, I'm Sorry!

~~~~~~~~~~~~THE END~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Real Life ~ Sobs

*Sobs*

Hey, Everyone, Mind Hearing Me Out A Bit Here? A Little Bit Down In The Dumps Here...

I've Been Wondering For A Long, Long Time And Can't Find An Answer.

Why Can't My Mom Just Understand Me?

Really, Why?

Am I That Hard To Understand? Why Can't She Just Notice That The fact I'm Smiling And Laughing Now Is From The Effort Of Faking Them, In order To Hide The Pain And Depression, My Worries And Fears?

Why Can't She Just Tell That I Was Indeed Worried About My Exams And That I've Tried A Hell of A Lot? The Reason I Could Still Afford To Smile And laugh Then Was To Cheer Myself Up Because The Worries And Stress Will Just Worsen My heart Condition. If Not, I Might Not Be Able To Survive Til The Next Morning. Please, I Mean It. It Really Does hurt A Lot. It Made Me Unable To move or Breathe As Every Tiny Move Would hurt A LOT.

Why Can't She Just Accept That I Am Not Perfect And That I can't Always get An A? Why Can't She Just Be Glad As Long As I Don't Fail?

It's unfair, Mom, YOU Put Me On Tuition And YOU Paid For The Fees But When I Tried Real hard In The Exams And Disappointed You In The End, YOU Blame Me Wasting YOUR Money On The Tuition And Ask WHY Did I Ever Go To A Tuition! Mom, YOU Don't KNOW A Single Thing I had To Go Through! Just because You once Were This Bright Student And Then You married Someone You Sorta Regret But Still Love, Doesn't Mean I Gotta be Like Who you Once Were And Blame It All on Dad!

I Am Myself, Mom! Of Course I Inherited Some of You And Dad's Traits But I Am Still All Along, MYSELF! I Think My Own Way. That's What That makes Us Ourselves! Why Can't You Just Be Glad For once? Why can't You be Glad When The last Time I Got 100% For English? Why Do you ALWAYS Expect me To Do The Same?! It's Not Like I'm Some Sort of Prodigy or Genius!

Why Do You ALWAYS Have High Hopes?! Why Can't You Just Take Them As Things Go And STOP Pressuring Me?! Do you Know That Every Hurtful Words of Yours And Your Hurtful Actions Make My Day Like An Effing hell?! Do You Know You're Mostly The Reason For My Thought Of Committing Suicide?!

Mom, Do You Know That I Didn't Asked To be Born? If You Suffer, I Suffer As Well!

So-Called Adult Matters Or Not, It Still Mattered To Me! It Still Hurts Me Emotionally, Mentally And Physically! Do You Know That Whatever Happens To You And dad, Family Or My Friends, Everything Ends Up Taking Part of My life?! I Just can't Laugh And Play Like Some Innocent Toddler While Seeing You And others Going Through a bad patch, You Know! So OF COURSE The So-Called Adult Matters Or Not Will Still Hurt Me!

You Know, I Really Do WISH That I Was A True Prodigy And Genius.

That Way, You can FINALLY SHUT UP And Accept Me! You Would've STOPPED Wishing For More!

If I Were really A prodigy And A Genius, Having My Own Earning Power, And You Still Didn't Shut Up, I Think The problem Wouldn't Have Been me Anymore. It Would Have Been YOU! YOU Expect TOO MUCH! YOU Think Everything And Everyone's Perfect?!

Take A Look At yourself! Are You perfect? NO!

Perfect is used Only When Something Seems Perfect To us. It's Not Like it can Be Totally Flawless!

We Shouldn't ALWAYS Spot other People's Mistakes As Well! It's Damn Annoying.

Mom, You make Me Regret Being Alive And Think Of Why Didn't I Kill Myself The other Day Or Earlier on Sometimes, You Know...

I Wish You Would Stop being So harsh At Times And Chill.

Just because You Think You made A Big Mistake In Your Life And Don't Want me Ending Up The Same, You Don't have To Pressure Me To The Extent Of Exploding.

Reader(s), I REALLY APOLOGIZE For Complaining A Lot And Being Ungrateful. Not To mention, Being Self-Absorbed As Well. It's Just That, I Knew She Couldn't Help Being Like That But It's hard For Me To take As Well. Not Just Only Her...

Please Understand, Reader(s)... That's All I Ask of You Now.

Take Care, Everyone. Remember Not To Go Insane Like Me.

Also, Don't Get Married If You Think You may Turn into Like My Mom One Day. It Will Suffocate Your Kid(s). Trust Me On That.

Real Life ~ Allergy, UGH!

ARGH! I Hate Allergies!

I'm Allergic To Dusts. I Will End Up Sneezing Non-Stop, Which Is TOTALLY Annoying.

I'm Allergic To Raw Eggs. The Last Time My Mom Dropped An Egg Onto The Floor, She Scooped It Back Up And Cooked It The Next Day For Me As Lunch. Guess What? It's Probably Food Poisoning Too. I Ended Up Getting Swollen All Over With Itchy Spots. Because They Were So Unbearably Itchy, I Couldn't Help But keep On Scratching, Which The End result Was Horrific. The Back of My Left Leg From Top To bottom Were Seriously Injured And Blood All Over. It Was Torturing When It Came To Bath Time. The Water Would Drip Onto The back Of My Left Leg. *Shivers Back At The Memory* I Couldn't Have proper Meals Because I End Up Vomiting Them back Out Again. I Had No Choice But To Eat only Bread And Drink Only Water. Of Course They Will Be Back out In no Time. =x

I'm Allergic To Spider Webs. Due To Genetic Reasons, My Skin is Very Sensitive. Just A Bit of Scratch, It gets All red. How Hateful. Lolz. I'm Currently Having This Allergy. From The Start of Exam until Now, It's Not Over Yet. The Itchy Spots Are Back. Grr, How I Am Tempted To Skin Myself Out. xD

So Far These Are What I Am Allergic To.

Everyone, Take Care!^^

Hope No One Fell Asleep While reading This. Lolz.

Real Life ~ Food Picks

Once Again, Hi Reader(s)!^^

Today(Though It's More Like Tonight)'s Topic Will Be About Favorite And Least Favorite Food.

Y'Know What? I'm Actually Quite A Picky Person. I Guess I Pick At My Food Most of The Time. >.<

My Current Favorite Food Is Spaghetti Carbonara. =P Yum Yum. xD I Like The Cheesy Taste But If The Taste Is REALLY Strong, It Gets Really Disgusting. =S

As For My Current Least Favorite Food, It Is... Seafood? I Don't Like Eating Seafood, Which Is The Reason Why I Worry That I Will Get Goitre One Day But A Certain Fish Is Acceptable. Sadly, I Don't Get To Eat The Fish Everyday So It's Possible To Get That Anytime.

I Don't Eat Mushrooms, Tomatoes, Duck, Mutton And So On.

If The Mushrooms Are Covered With Cheesy Sauce In The Spaghetti Carbonara, I Would Pretend That It's Not A Mushroom And Just Force Myself To Eat It. I Used To Hate Carrots But Ever Since I Went On A Trip With My Family To Cameron Island, I Somehow Started To Like It But Not That Much.

Why I Don't Mind Eating Meat Now Is Just Beyond Me. I Used To HATE Eating Meat. My Parents Would Always Force Me To Eat At Least A Bit Of Meat Instead Of None. I Never Liked Eating Fish, Beef, Mutton, Chicken, Duck Or Pork. I Was Always Choosy When It Comes To Food. In Fact, I Still AM Choosy! But Maybe Just Not As Much As Before. Haha. Now I Accept Eating Fish, Beef And Chicken. That's ALL.

The Reason I Didn't Like Eating Meat In the First Place Was Because I Felt That It Was Cruel To Kill The Animals (Or Any Living Things) Just So We Can Eat Them. I Mean, Would You Have Liked To Have Yourself Killed Just So The Murderer Can Feed On You When There Are So Many other Stuff The Murderer Can Eat? Would You have Liked To Drag An Animal To The Slaughtering Place To Slaughter It? What With Its Pitiful Cries Knowing That It's Not Gonna Live Any Longer And Is Unable To Escape, Unable To Die Peacefully Just Like Some Other Fortunate Ones. It Would Have To Suffer The Pain Of Having To be Stabbed To Death And Be Cooked, Eaten in The End. What Happens Next? The Person Will Continue Killing other Animals To Stop His/Her Own Hunger. That's Endless Until The Person Finally Dies. But Wait, There Are SO MANY MORE Other People Doing The Same. Not Just ONE, But MORE THAN ONE. It's Just That, It's Gonna be A Hell of a Lot of Pain For Me To See The Animal's Facial Expression When It's Gonna Be Slaughtered. I tried Being A Vegetarian But Of Course, My Dear parents Stopped me AGAIN. AGAIN AND AGAIN! *Says Through Gritted Teeth*

I Don't Dare To Try New Food If It Doesn't Look Appetizing Or If it Doesn't Smell Good. Picky, Much? Well, That's Me, Again. Lolz. I feel really Self-Absorbed By The Minute.

Sorry To Drag On Forever, Reader(s), You're Probably Asleep By The Time You've Read Halfway Through.

Take Care, Everyone! Make Sure You Eat Up Seafood Or Else You May Get Goitre, And Believe Me, NO ONE Wants That Happening!
