But his confidence was not meant to be, as he tripped and fell within steps of his seat!
(Edited (so that this WILL be deleted)) "Ohh no, im becoming more and more like EUGENE TAN YONG CHENG from rjc!" he thought. With unproportional legs to body ratio and abnormally long legs, Eugene lost his leg-eye coordination. But lucky for him, even though he cant walk properly, he excels in shooting! Mainly because one does not require legs for the.. err sport?
Quinten now deeply regrets his dark periods of playing Age of Mythology and Age of Empire 1,2 & 3 with him.. They say that friends who spend lots of times with each other eventually become like each other...
"Haiz it's all in the past.." he thought quietly. Anyway besides memories, wad's gone never returns so don't dwell on them, he regrets not keeping in touch with eugene and wonders how is he doing now.. He sincerely hopes in his heart that he's not blogging rubbish at a joint blog with his friends.. BUT if he does, he will be expected to be blocked of admin rights.. Quinten says "heh" aloud in his mind, another pet phrase from eugene..
Eugene's Version -_-" (Die eugene)
But his confidence was not meant to be, as he tripped and fell within steps of his seat!
"Ohh no, im becoming more and more like LIU DALI from rjc!" he thought. After all, spending all those long years of his Ancient life inside a cave must certainly affect psychomotor skills in the modern setting. But lucky for him, his cave does have electricity so he can get connected to the internet! But then again, an Ancient will always lag behind modern technology as he screwed himself in an attempt to guai lan his innocent friend.
Quinten now deeply regrets his dark periods of playing Three Corridors and DOTA with him.. They say that friends who spend lots of times with each other eventually become like each other..."Wah crap.. it's all in the past.." he thought quietly. Anyway, he regrets not keeping in touch with dali and wonders how is he doing now.. He sincerely hopes in his heart that he's not editing a rubbish post made by his friend at a joint blog with his friends.. BUT if he does, he will be expected to be guai lan-ed as well.. Quinten says "heh" aloud in his mind, even though google returns only 14 results for such a figure of speech.
It must be an ancient skill picked up from his Ancient friend.
Quinten slides the classroom door open and walks in confidently.
"First impressions", he thought to himself, "they are lasting, and they set the premise for future exchanges".
"Hi...." he stopped short. There was something about the class which is different than those he had been in. Something which calls out to him to rethink his original plan of action. He scans the classroom. Apparently none of his new classmates even bothered to throw a glance at him.
He smirks.
"This is interesting," he muttered to himself. He walks towards an empty desk and settles himself down, all the time maintaining a tall and confident posture.
Quinten wasn't always like this, smart, athletic and with all rounded excellence. He was a normal boy from young, just your average kiddo. However, it was not until 4 years ago that he started become smarter, fitter, and generally, more outstanding than his peers...
It all first started when he entered puberty. He realised that as puberty came, he started to get stronger, able to jump further, run faster... Okay, so most guys get that happening to them too when they go through puberty. But Quinten's was different. His psychomotor skills developed far quicker and to a greater extent than anyone. He picked up every single sport there was around, and easily beat the pros. He even developed a photographic memory, able to memorise and comprehend large inflows of information in a matter of seconds.
When he was developing his potentials in secondary school, the situation was still relatively ok. It just seemed that he got smarter and more hardworking. He did not top the school he was studying at, just one of the smarter students. However, as he entered the later stages of puberty, did his abilities got much better and soon, in tertiary school, he was excelling in every aspect.
It was only then, that his parents started treating him differently... as if they know something that he doesn't, and is trying to keep him away from knowing it
"If you think that's gonna succeed, think again" he thinks to himself angrily. He has lost count of the number of schools that he had been to, this is probably the last tertiary institution that he has never studied in before in the country.
Somehow, he had managed to top every school that he has studied in before. Maybe possessing a brain of IQ 207 helps, but how does that explain the fact that he had won every single intra-school competition each school had organized? From athletic events to artistic events, even the most coveted Talentime winner, as long as he takes part in them, he wins. Simple. He has thus concluded "Life is unfair".
His popularity in school has never helped his relationships with his parents. Every competition he wins causes them to hate him more. Maybe 'hate' is not the right word, 'fear' is. Every time he gets too popular in school, he changes school. He has never understood this concept and doubt he ever will. The only theory that he has in his mind of IQ 207 is that his mother is hoping that they will eventually find someone who can outshine him, at least in 1 aspect. He doubts that this will happen. Maybe his mother will finally recognize him as a genius if he tops every competition again in this school..
Easier said than done..
P.S. I started cause i had nothing to do except hw.. and jere nids to do hw.. fair trade.. anyway if u dun like the starting can just change it lar
2 days went by. He finally saw her on msn,after an abscence of 3 months... blocked? perhaps
He said "hey." she said "hi"
"Are we back on talkable terms?" he asked after much hesitation. "Maybe" came the reply. He fidgeted. A rush of emotions surged through him. they talked, much more casual now.
Then it came. she said "Ok, we ae friends now. i gtg. Bye"
Reading the horoscope in the papers was something he wasn't familiar with, but somehow he felt compelled to read it that day. The horoscope read "You are convinced that this is your last chance, but something does not feel right. Your heart says no, your head says yes. The stars say that even if you are starving, it is an act of wisdom to bypass food you know is poisoned." He is amazed at how accurate the horoscopes were about his feelings. he hesitates, he fears... is this a sign? should he retreat?
Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, it was too late. He has to give it a shot. He had already been suffering long enough from the grief this issue has caused him. If it succeeds, this cloud will be lifted off him, if it fails, he would fall into the abyss. It is a matter of opportunity cost, but convinced this is his last chance, he goes for it.
Out of the large crowd, he spots her. His heart skips a beat. He wanted to go up to her, but his reflexes told him to hide. He is so afraid to meet her, afraid of the reaction and response he might get. He hid. He was panting like a dog even though no strenuous actions were done, for his heart was beating so fast, he needed to catch his breath
"Wait. Later" he told himself, certain that this was not the right time to see her. He did not wish to further affect her, to pile on top of the stress she is already withstanding; no, not until it's done and she is at ease. "Wait. Later" he told himself. Or is he just escaping?
Everything went smoothly, everyone was enjoying themselves. “Should I go up to her now?” he wondered. No doubt things were going well, but it was only the half way mark. Should he take the risk? There was no time to ponder. She had already seen him. She looked surprised by his presence, but gave a big smile and waved. He hesitated, somewhat stunned by her reaction, before waving back and giving an awkward smile
Immense relive washed over him. He smiled to himself and walked up to her. They exchanged greetings and chatted for a bit. Just a bit. Besides, they were only formalities. He couldn't stand the awkwardness anymore, and left silently as she turned to talk to someone else. He wondered to himself..Why was the situation so awkward? Doesn’t it signify things have been forgotten when she acknowledge his presence?Everything else went on smoothly and the event ended. He went to find her again. She was hugging all her old pals, but when it came to his turn; they looked at each other, she smiled and reached out her hand. They shook. It was then that the realization hit him. They were no longer on the same page anymore. The deed was done and it cannot be forgotten just like that.
they talked, but the content only barely scratched the surface of what they used to chat about in the past. It was as if they just met not long ago. However he was contented. Instead of avoidance, they were communicating.
does this mark a new beginning? He certainly hopes so. But the prospect of them being good friends again, remains to be seen. Only time holds the answer.
lol i think this is damn gp... ive been staring at this page for over 5 mins, thinking how i should start off... wheres the intro.. but oh well, i tot, why not start of with this, if not lol, hardly can start off at all =D
well anyways (see escape the intro so u can anyways into the main point XD) last thurs till sat, was helping out as backstage crew in the dance night concert Footlose! although quite tiring, having to stand arnd most of the time, and stay in school for like 10 hours excluding curriculum time.. i should say it has been quite a nice experience!
hmm how did i get into the back stage crew? oh yea... i was trying to escape remedial, so i desperately wanted to join in so i can go for rehersal and pon remedial... after much haggling, wanqing finally agreed! but.. it was too late, and i had to go for remedial anyway.. lol.. but i sort of wanted to go for the backstage thing anyways, coz i tot can see free show n get cip hours, why not... and im lack of cip hours anyway lol
BUT i was wrong... cannot see much of the show backstage.. sure u can see em dance and all (infact watch them dance and rehersal and etc for like 1792846918623591 times), but all the formations etc are best viewed from the audience side.. frm backstage, they all just look like a mess... ahhhh hopefully can get the vcd/dvd/video of the show they filmed =D
hmm i must say the 2 dance nights went pretty well, cept the first one had a stool fall off which made a bang sound, so ya.. but apart frm that, good job crew!~ haha... actually, ALL the backstage crew frm my class de.. cept yusheng lol... hmm lets see who were there... wenliang,tonghin,chin nam, wanqing, yuru, changrong, shalom, elaine and yusheng... yep... av crew.. aiya no need mention XD...
hmm lets see what was my job, oh yea, mine is more of the saikang job haha.. chiong stage to pick up stuff if they drop, den dancers probs and stuff suppose to collect for them, pass to stage left, hold dancers back incase they block the current performers, den oso help wenliang to que the dances/dancers, oh and shine lights for dancers so they can see where they going lol.. coz they juz come in frm outside.. den inside pitch black, need to adjust lol
actually, for us backstage crew, not much pressure frm the audiences part... coz the whole time we never ever get to have a mere glimpse of the audience seats, so even actuall performance night and rehersal, cannot really tell the difference, still do the same things to perfection! PROFESSIONAL! i think my future ambition is to be stage crew... lol right... maybe oni wanqing haha...coz she stage manager, 老大 very big shot de lor... take mic and address all the performers, ask them shut up dun talk. LOL... best sia.
hmm perks... well, got flowers frm timo and cynthia, the emcees... and then the dance troupes' leaders oso gave each of us some mini goody bag... we.. goody wraper? lol.. 1 small waffer and a mini m&ms.. oh, oso got to watch angie and meng ying dance haha.. nice dances peeps...
hmm anyway quite fun la.. if got chance nxt time do again... lol.. but as if will have chance liddat.. -.-.. oh yea, tonghin is a bastard... keep on dun wan go out and bow when they thank stage crew... so hamsterish la... scared what sai.. tsk..

hmm.. just got back from the street dance concert at DXO esplanade.. dances were ok, but really loved the foreign bodies dance, the matk kid dance crew, and weisong's b3@t b0X! lol...
although the place was like quite super big, but the area arnd the dance floor, was very small.. whats worse is that.. the dancefloor is not a stage, its not elevated, but instead, sunken into the ground.. making it less likely for people at the back to be able to see.. THEREFORE..... SQUEEZE like MAN!!!!!! i was like... cannot move.. + no seats (reserved) den leg juz died.. hawt like man, sweat like bomb... lol...
really want to killll wanqing man... im sure she force us go this concert.. where she carried a prob for 5 seconds in her first appearence, and danced 1 min on her second.. THE END... -_- plx... STRANGGLE you in school ah... lol.. after the concert, went down to the dance floor.. stone, and stand right beside the woofers... lol.. the vibe.. really quite man... the gals cam whored a whole lot.. we took like .. 1 foto lol.. den we were oso watching this break dancers crew dancing arnd, making a PK 赛... but.. it got really boring.. coz apparently.. they oni know how to do 1 or 2 moves.. and they juz keep repeating.. artist's extract (paiseh, use words coz cannot draw) " wah u think u damn pro, get a load of this! rawr!" dances dance move A n B.... 2nd dude "wah ok lor.. u come and see this!!!! " dances dance move A n C... den repeat X times... -____- it got more interesting after sam and benny joined in, but they "lost" the battle coz these couple of child dancers a.k.a crowd pleases come and PK them, so duh they 打退堂鼓 lol...
after that, cleared the area stonned arnd in esplanade before deciding to go new york new york to eat... aggy's frens joined us! namely, fiona and weijean. yep yep, but we had so many people! 10! that they had to shift us arnd to another table lol... so we ordered our food.. surprisingly all of us ordered differently despite there being not much choices for main course.. i guess coz the gals ate pasta and bernie the solo kia ate burger o.o... guys bought main courses! lol... hmm oh ya before that oso spammed free cotton candy lol.. the gals super pro, abuse the cotton candy guy, got 10 tonnes of cotton candy LOL.. den huanyong the n00b shit... got 1 fricking small stick of cotton candy.. i tot it was an ear bud... LOL... i think the cotton candy guy super biased to all the pretty girls there la ^^
the gals cam whored again, and cam whored tong hin lol... den they were like discussing stuff secretly and going outside to have secret meeting wif CR n stuff lol.. den came back suddenly all these workers spring-ed up wif a bday cake and everyone started singing happy bday!! haha.. hmm fiona was gone by then, but weijean was still there! lol.. coincidentally i oso wished her happy birthday last year, i guess favour returned lol... but this time it was in person o.o! ahhh in a nut shell, was so touched but not really super surprised XD haha.. but pleasently surprised still! haha... yep yep.. and zomg the cake was delicious! found out it was bernie's treat coz she was guilty she cldnt celebrate wif me before tt.. lol nvm! thanks sososososososo much!!! rawr... ahhh feeling so nice inside, this muz be the happiest weekend ive ever had! ^^

DUH?! what the man i use so much tissue paper for.. not like i dun already have a tonne at home! then after that went to 5 in a row.. played a few games, suddenly they burst out in a birthday song! ahha so sweet.... BUT!!! i saw changrong carrying this pile of tissue paper... WDM i tot to myself.. but upon closer inspection, i realised that in ever individual piece of tissue, were messages from different people in class! i was really touched and amazed that this was actually one of the best presents i ever recieved.
Because each individual tissue paper has much space, + privact, as compared to a small card which everyone shares, many people wrote long and meaningful messages to me!! was really touched that many whom i never really get the chance to connect with in class, gave me such nice and touching messages, not to mention some people drew really pretty pictures! haha... sad though that 8 of my classmates werent there to write in the tissue >.> lol... namely marcus, farhan, iwan, tianhui, yuhua, karthik,yiliang n mengying ))= but oh well, happy anyways! haha. so unexpected of the tissue paper presents, but must say that was really thoughtful, if u intended it to be that way anyways haha! i must say that amongst all presents, personal messages are the most meaningful, as you can keep them forever inside ur heart, knowing they mean well yea.
