My life is so... Pt 2

Double Bass. By the size of the bow you will know how big it is.. If the bow for all of them are of the same size, that is.

My life is so going..

UPHILL!!!

I have not written something like this for a long time!! Lets START!!

Title : Uphill
Settings : Place - Music Class, Actors : Me, teacher , head.

Wednesday, 11.02

A glimpse of ME going up the stairs is shown. It was raining outside.

Teacher : Come in.
Me : Yes.
Teacher : Take out your scale book, pieces and your notebook.
Me : (Takes out)
Teacher : Where's your violin?
Me : (Points at the bag)
Teacher : Take it out.
Me : As usual, the seven minutes of excitement.
Teacher : Play your scales without the book.
Me : (Oh no! I didn't practice oops oops) What scale?
Teacher : G Melodic + Harmonic
Me : (Hentam)
Teacher : Very good! Che Mek Chung Ming!
Me : What is "Che Mek Chung Ming"?
Teacher : Aiya, you Chinese or not?
Me : Yes.
Teacher : Nevermind. D and A melodic and harmonic.
Me : (Try use the same way to hentam)
Teacher : Very good. Take out your pieces and come with me, we play Moon River.
Me : (Take)

The music was harmonic and soothing to the ears, aside from some screechings that just came at unexpected times and off notes by the carelessness of the teacher. Well, I wont say its bad, just decent. Right on the line. Do I sound like someone right now? Its your imagination.

Teacher : Not bad..
Me : (Stare)
Teacher : Not bad what. Now do your theory outside.
Me : (Nod)

So I went outside and did the theory which was very confusing at the key signatures part. Then, I saw the head passing by. The head is the leader of the institution.

Head : (Walk pass)
Me : (Continue doing theory)
Head : (reverse reverse)
Me : (Stare)
Head : Stand up.
Me : (Stands)
Head : You are very tall hor, what you eat?
Me : Everything.
Head : Everything?
Me : Except durians.
Head : Stretch your hands.
Me : (Stretch)
Head : Are you interested in playing the DOUBLE BASS?
Me : (What should I say what should I say???) (Nod)
Head : Okay. When im free come and find me, I'l show you how to play it.
Me : (Nod).
Head : I need someone tall and big for the double bass. Its for the ochestra.

Oh well, so days pass and its now Sunday, at 3.36. Again, a glimpse of me was seen walking up the stairs. The weather is okay... decent... not bad..

Teacher : Come in..

(These parts are all repeating so I'l just skip to the interesting part)

Teacher : Play your scales.
Me : What scales?
Teacher : G,D,A harmonic and melodic.
Me : (Hentam)
Teacher : Wrong. Try again.
Me : (hentam)
Teacher : Wrong. I am unable to process your request. Please try again.

And this probably went on until the teacher gives up.

Teacher : Nevermind. Lets play moon river.

The music was good, but I admit it wasnt as decent as that day. I wasnt a wee bit suprised, as I didn't actually practice again. (Too busy Restaurant citying and barn buddying)

Teacher : Not bad what.
Me : (Surprised)
Teacher : Actually, there is a competition in September. I wish to enter in the competition with you. I mean, I already entered you IN the competition.
Me : (WITHOUT ASKING???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) (Stare)
Teacher : Uh, did you listen to what I said?
Me : Oh.. (oh wait) HUH!!!!!????
Teacher : Huh what Huh! Play moon river until there is no mistakes!!!

Ironically, I keep on making mistakes with teh second last bar. Keep on screeching at that part.

Teacher : Cannot play properly cannot go back.

(This triggered a trauma from childhood tiution and made me able to play that part correctly thank goodness maths tuition)

Teacher : You can go back now.
Me : Jumps all the way down.

So it actually means two things.

1 - I get to play the double bass in an unknown ochestra.
2 - I get to go in a competition that I never even knew I joined before.

Good? I don't know?
Bad? I don't think so!

I Sometimes Wonder If..

Its Normal or not..?

Is it normal to change how you act in front of different people all the time?

I wake up in the morning.

I feel angered at even slight noises that came from the outside. I felt angry that I have to wake up this early. I felt angry that I even had to wear my shoes. And wash my face as well.

When I reach school.

When someone says Hi to me, I say Hi back with a smile. Sometimes I don't even want to smile.

When im with my friends, I am feeling happy and childlike again. I feel like im a child. I feel like I can do everything. I feel like playing. I feel like talking. When someone says hi I would look at them and say "hi" while giving off a big smile. Sometimes I just give off a rude "What?". Im even crazy at times.

When im not with my friends im calm and composed, only on the outside. When people say "Hi" I usually think that they are trying to make fun of me. I say "Hi" back, but make an annoyed face when they can't see it. Sometimes, I think people are talking behind my back and I seem to notice every small whispers in the corner of any room in in with people inside.

However, sometimes I feel like I reek of energy. When people say "Hi", I make a big smile and talk non stop to them. Sometimes, I will even dance around them.

When seeing someone else, however I do not sense the need to say anything.

I think people think im selfish, self centered and proud when im at the dim side.

When I reach home again, I won't talk much. When asked about my day, I will just say what is needed and not talk more. However, sometimes I talk about my day as if gold fell from the skies.

Whats with this shifting? Maybe I created the personalities to shift from through my life. Maybe now I've forgotten who I really am.

Does it even matter? Why did I even want to write this in here?

Does the way I write make it seem like im angry?

Why do I even ask so much questions when I know I will get no answer??

(Just forget all of the above)

The author is just joking about everything. How would his life even be like that? Haha.

Lets end this post now.

What is the...

Food of your likings?

I just went to somewhere called Pondok Laguna two weeks ago with my family. It was nice eating out once in a while and that was (still before the outbreak of A(H1N1) I think)

We ordered what we normally did, but I simply looked at the menu with my gleaming eyes and decided to order a BANANA DELIGHT.

It is a dish with three scoops of ice cream, Vanilla, Mint and Chocolate with half cuts of bananas on each side. The decorations were also adorable, with a cute little Japanese style umbrella on top. There was two spoons, which usually mean that the serving is enough for two people but I as the usual selfish me ate it alone.

Before that, when my sisters went back to visit we went to KL. At one of the plazas there, my elder sister spotted a desert called "Yukimi Daifuku". She prompted my other sister to look at it, then she brought it. It was served in a box, with nine of them inside. My sister asked us to hold on it for fifteen minutes before we dug in, because she was waiting for it to melt first. A completely frozen ice cream won't be delicious. You were wondering what this snack was? It is like the....Kuih Kochi, but only with ice cream on the insides instead of the legumes.

And like... months before, as you know me and my friends will kinda stay back on Fridays to play some badminton to keep fit. Well, this one very generous guy kinda bought lots of ice cream for us in order to get the prizes from it. ( Rumors Rumors ) I heard that he got his Handphones, Gameboy and all electronics from winning in that ice cream sticks competition ( Rumors Rumors) He was kind to us all, especially when he bought ice creams for us all to share. However, he was not that good at badminton and usually got discriminated by one of my classmates.

And like YEARS before, there was an ice cream shop at Tabuan Jaya. My father usually brought me there each time I got 100 marks for my spelling test in Kindergarten. The ice cream sold there was extremely delicious and melts in your mouth. It was probably the best desert restaurant, until the price went up and the restaurant lost its customers and had to close down.

It was actually a little better than the ice creams from IGLOO and SCOOPS, but now that it has closed down I guess it would actually be fun too if we went to IGLOO and SCOOPS sometimes.

And thats my favorite desert, lunch, breakfast and dinner although eating it for breakfast and twice for lunch makes my tummy hurt so. But I still eat it and suffer the consequences later.

How about yours???

P.S : And when I say "yours" I mean the small scale readers that actually give up their important time to view and even comment on my posts.

Sekian Terima Kasih

Have I not talked about..

My holidays + visiting in KL??

Oops.. seems that not everyone knows..

Well, it was one of my happiest holiday journeys putting aside the tantrums that were thrown around.

Me, my sister, my father and my mother went to KL. The actual reason was to visit my grandma on my father's side, because she had just completed her successful eye cataract operation. On the first night before going onboard the plane, we were having a great time taking pictures.

As we were hungry and have not eaten our lunch yet, we bought Mary Browns near the departure gate and ate there. If you ask me, it was "kinda" nice.. but I do not actually think that it was worth it. It didn't even satisfy my hunger, but well it lasted.

We reached KL at 12 AM. We slept overnight at my Godmother's house... or mansion as it was quite enormous in size. I slept straightaway (without brushing my teeth) because I was too tired (Poor teeth of mine).

The next morning, we took off at 4AM. My Godmother drove us to Baling to get some blessings. I was still tired and so I slept in the car. When we finished with the blessings, The holy man invited us for "DURIANS". I was too polite to eat any, so I just took some mangosteens.(Actually, I did not like durians in the first place). There, I ate around 3 servings of Tapai. I got a little giddy after that and stopped.

After it was over, we went to Penang to stay overnight at Gurney Drive Hotel. There as a ballroom there and I thought it would be nice if we can actually go there. Sadly, there was not enough time. During the stay at the hotel, I played my sister's Nintendo DS while waiting for an outing. Nintendogs was very fun and cute. Chrono Trigger was funny while the dance lasted, and the final fantasy games + chocobo was addicting.

At night, we walked around Gurney Drive. We ate at the night market there. (Awfully full) And then went to Gurney plaza to eat the ice cream. It was a memorable moment. That night, I soaked myself in the jacuzi(like) bathtub.

The next day, we went swimming at the roof of the hotel while my Godmother and my father went outing. (Actually it was pretty funny) We actually brought mangosteens inside the hotel even though it was not allowed. But the guard actually helped us sneak them in to get a tip of RM10.

That afternoon, we drove back to my Godmother's house. We played there awhile, then when night came sneaking in we felt awfully tired again. I guess it was because of the jet lag caused the morning before.

The next morning, we went to my grandmother's house. My cousins were really grown up and I couldn't recognise them. I hugged both my grandparents. It was a happy and warm sensation. I had begun to miss the grandparents on my mother's side.

That night, each and every one of my cousins came to visit. It was a self service dinner. We had to make our own popiah, and all the ingredients were provided. We all shared ghost stories and jokes between ourselves. That night was a creepy chilly night, and my fever instantly vanished due to the cold jokes and ghost stories.

We had to take off the next day, yet we slept at 2AM. The next day we woke up at 7AM. My fever rose again and we continued to the airport for our travel back. The people at the airport was kinda nice.. even though I had fever they just let me PASS THROUGH. They only checked the ones that are blonde.

Im sorry I didn't bring any souvenirs back for all my friends. It was one hectic yet fun holiday.

Guess what was the first thing I did when I came back to Kuching?

??

???

Drama Competition!!

And thats all for today, for no one is actually reading this blogpost anyways~

I hope I could write more, but this might be already enough.

Well then...
