The Stoned Striker

Ok if you all noticed the time of my last entry, it was during the weee hours hours of the morning
Weeeeeeeeee

Ok..lame...anyways....I woke up at 9 plus from Fahmi...telling me that he and Nas were already on their way...

"We are already on PIE, do you want us to pick you up?"

(note: i promised to help Nas move out and clear my stuff from his room as well)

"Dude...why didnt you call me earlier...I just woke up"

"This is my second call.."

"......................."

Tell him we will drive slowly (Nas, background)

"Ok....give me a few mins."

I stood up, dashed to the bathroom, showered and packed the necessary stuff I need.

Clearing the the room part was not as hard as I expect it to be. We could have done it in like an hour.....if we didnt rest as long for some guitar jamming sessions..hahaha

problem sum for the day
two men working = 2 hrs
1 men working = ?

(if you dont get 4.....you are....ermmm....)

Ok...after settling all that needs to be done in school, Nas gave me a lift to Kallang Leisure Park
Its Dara's birthday celebration today. After contemplating on whether to go or not (due to the tight budget im in and also the lack or rest Im having, I decided to just go.....they are my most semangat FOC batch...so...I should be semangat as well I suppose

So of we go...Nas, Fahmi and me......Oh..I have a nickname now....now everyone has one....and I tot Mr Woody and Mat Nyet was hillarious enough....mine was...ermm..'worst' haha. Hanging out to study with the groub B guys sure brought back memories. I started NTU with them around..And I shall hope to End it with them as well.This was like the best 2 months of my 'exam conditioning' experience in NTU

Ok...so the gals went bowling....For the first half of the day..I was like a walking zombie...up till I got my first strike......and much due to dara and simaa (who have been on my case since they saw me, haha)
So my senses got to high alert and as per normal....started to annoy the both of them like I normally do...Hahha...
Dara.....baju lapar kepe.....
Ermm Dara..since you none of the balls you throw is able to hit any pins...Why dont you be the ball?

Hahaha

It was all in good fun

Ok....during the ride home in the train with yaya and Ibriza..I kinda dozed off. I couldnt care less...I was shaged out

Met ezran once I reached Jurong East. Buddy had some problems and I just had to be there for him. I hope everything turned out well for you bro.

Hafiz was there too, nice to see him after so long. As I sat (coffee shop, biasa jugak..) I noticed Ezran having a book in front of him. "how to win friends and influence others - Dale carnegie"

From seeing that book, I knew that what he was facing is big....I know...cos the last time when I had it....I was facing some difficult times as well. So we talked.....gaining knowledge and sharing experience at the same time.

Hafiz made a comment to me at one point. He said that im not associated to a specific group or clique. You know...some people have their preference of ppl they want to hang out with and stuff.

Well I happen to mix around with groups of different background...and i can adapt comfortably to most groups. Cos I dont like to restrict myself. Being judgemental and losing out in the possibilities of knowledge and experience to me is unwise. Cos knowledge comes not only from the smart or the nobel.
"buang yang keruh...ambil yang jernih"
its not because of bad influence that a person becomes bad.
Its failure to filter out the good influence for ourself.
Knowledge is everywhere......and life is a game of choice
go figure.

Wealth is not just about money....its about the relationship that you build...the human interactions....thats your wealth (my perspective). Once you achieve that....you can have all the money that you desire. Theres no shortcuts in getting rich....its a step by step process. "sometimes you need to run before you can walk" is true to an extent. what they didnt tell you is that you'll tend to fall faster and more frequent if you do that... and all that it leads to is more pain.So...fundamentals....once you nail that...you can run as far as your eyes can see and your legs can take you.

Today turned out preety well..minus the fact that im stoning most of the time..minus the fact that I paid my hefty fine...and minus the fact that im stressed out abt finding a job.

Why bother about things thats out of your control? I wish it was that easy

NEA...I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY!!!

KL trip is finally here.....5 wacky guys...... a car....over the weekend

Wonder how this concoction is gonna taste like..HAHA

Taking a break

Ok.....exams' finally over and im now....officially free (yessar)
Time to pick up the pieces of my life that I left behind 2 months ago.

I had Mendaki relief for two Saturdays already now and I sure have met some interesting kids along the way. Ive taken this class of 5 primary students and I find them an interesting lot. Too bad I cant stay with any of them.Our meetings are supposed to be very brief. I hope I can get my own class one day.

I relieved Tuty for her Sinda tuiton this week. Sec 4NT and a mix class of sec 1NT and 2NT
I have been warned by her that the lower secs are a handful. Shes right though. Today (wednesday 7th) during lessons, they were really trying my patience. However, experience have thought me well how to handle this kinda students. You must go to their level of understanding, their take to life. One boy was trying to act all gangster and stuff......and so...the 'mat' side of me took over. Just like GTO.

I know better not to shout at them...its useless.....so the only way is to activate the 'laser' mouth.
"swaan" them until they bui tahan and paisey.
then they will give you the necessary attention.
Ruthless, I know...but they showed no mercy..so its fair

the sec ones were having this game of 'guess mr yan's age' game
i find it humorous to know that the range they tot I was in was from 16 to 23
hahahaha
Kids

So I told them...'kids, ive completed my Ns and 4 years of university education.
So how old do you think I am?

'26 !' one girl shouted exitedly

"And yes you are right"

they were abit shocked..I could sense the 'sure or not ' expression in them. Now a boy then asked me if I have a partner..since well...tutys engaged..they tot that hey.Y shouldnt I be engaged...at least attatched.
I tried dodging...but to realise later that only by giving them some ans will they keep quiet n focus on studying, i said im single. which i am.

so he said...'tcher...pass me your number, I have this girl..very preety...I can intro her to you.'
I smiled....kids nowadays.

i rejected politely, threw a few smoke bombs and exited with the likes of algebra and factors.

I met Mr Jamal too, my sec 2 lit teacher.

:)

It has been a good week so far.
Hope it stays that way.
