Letter to Nobody- Part 2

And it read. " Dear nobody, I'm leaving. I've placed all my heart into your hands, and you left with it. I'm faithless, hopeless and desperate, yet not sure if i want you back. Goodbye. " and an illegible signature which vaguely resembles Sarah ends it.

All John thought at that moment was that the underside of a coffee table was a ridiculous place to write an emotional declaration. But, as he read on, something clicked in his head. It was an inspiration. Something long stolen by work and the hectic pace of life, that doesn't even give his brain anytime to breathe, let alone think. Suddenly, words started coming to his mind, together with rhythm and melodies. With only time in his hand, he could put his creative juices to good use and start composing again.

And he rushed upstairs to unpack his really old guitar, that was already covered with an even layer of dust. That's what the real world does to you, he thought. After tuning his guitar for a couple of minutes, he started to strum a G chord. Ahh. How wonderful the sound of music is to the ears. It was amazing how moving air molecules could produce such melodious intepretations in the mind. He started fiddling with some of the words mentally, conjuring a few lines for a song he would call " faithless"

epic fail.
didnt write any songs yesterday, instead i got andrew and bk over at my house and did retarded things.
like playing pokemon cards, and playing wii. watching chuck as well.

I've been spending hoards of time playing world of warcraft, explaining my really pathetic posts, and lack of content. What better way to end the biggest exams of your life than to smack monsters and just, you know, letting your brain rot.
180's coming up on Sunday, and i'm bringing my one! (:

Over the hurdle

Yay. It took me almost a week after a levels to get over the fact that there's no more a levels.
Just a couple of nights ago, i was kinda dreaming, and like it was me in it, and i was doing some chemistry mcq, i swear.
And the thing was the question was hard man. So, i had to tell my subconscious mind to STOP! and say it's just a dream, there's no more a levels! lol, then, i will wake up at like 6 in the morning and not be able to sleep anymore, and proceed on to play 4 hours worth of warcraft. hahaha.

So, i've been to 2 bbqs, watched about 2 movies, played badminton, table tennis, tennis, soccer and board games at mindcafe so far. And prom's like next week! it's so packed, its kinda tiring!
To chill tomorrow, i'm getting 2 guys over to my house and start writing songs again, i thought hey, why not get a few peeps to come over and brainstorm! haha, i'm sure we can pull something off tomorrow, or we could just end up doing other stuff i guess.


Hurdle.. sigh. Guess that would be over for now, lazy to jump anymore hurdles. It takes so much effort to make something last, but if it's not mutual, then it's just tiring and fruitless.

Letter to Nobody

John Smith started clearing the tabletop of his year-old mess. Documents, letters, faxes, strewn all over. At this moment, it was as if his mother gave him a kick in the head and said, " Son, pack up your room! It ain't gonna pack itself."

"yes, mother.." he muttered undered his breath.


Boy, what a fine, and opportune time life gives to let you handle all the little nitty-grits that could never find its way up the priority list, he thought. Just one week after he has been sent to the "firing squad" of cubicle proportions. And his boss, yes, that stupid fat, black man, who has nothing but donuts and coffee on his desk all day, had relieved him of his duties, because he had failed his performance evaluation. He knew it was always an evil scheme designed by the HR people to boot people they couldn't stand, and he always knew his days there were numbered.

Anyway, what's not to like about that? It's not like he had much of a future there. Working 9-5 as an accountant wasn't the most glamorous kind of life that he wanted. Getting fired wasnt all bad, there's always that silver lining or even a couple of them. he finally managed to get his home cleaned up, cleared the garbage, fixing that stubborn engine and even that irritating leak from the water pipe that was seeping through the ceiling. And finally, there he was. sorting out his letters, some of which had already turned yellow from neglect.

The room wasn't exactly spacious, the air was kinda musty and smelled like old socks but he was used to it. It was so crammed that he had to do some sort of weird dance everytime he went in and out of it just to avoid knocking over all the worn-out furniture. There he was doing it again, and on the last twist out of the room, he missed a step in the routine and went into some kind of spiral-like downwards projection, like the end of the drama where the female lead falls dead into the man's arm in an all too dramatic way.

Groaning, and moaning. He laid there on the floor for awhile, before getting up to a sudden realisation that his life sucks. And this reminded him of a certain screwed up song from Avenue Q. And while his brain was filled with squeaky voices of little puppets singing, he noticed a certain writing under the desk. It was titled "A letter to Nobody".

I can almost imagine it. Shuyin will give a loud shriek and go " OMG waihong, you're such a freaking loser!" and then audrey will go like " aiyo, how can you forget?" and liyin will just like wail and start laughing like a maniac, while BK and Le dung will just cackle at a side.
Yes dears, your net leader is officially an idiot. and have seem to land himself at the butt of jokes for years to come.
I just can't get it right.
First, its the valentines day thing, who the hell gets his present given back to him on valentines' day. And i'm still being insulted and ridiculed for that.
And now this. Who in the world would know that i have been remembering the wrong date for the last, i dun know 2 or 3 months. omg. i'm a such an idiot. Now, i'll never forget her birthday.
like forever and ever.
Stupid halloween.
Stupid a levels.
