Stories of the glorious times were recollected when i attended a sec sch Extra-Curriculum Activity (ECA) event last weekend. I wondered to myself if we were ever tt tiny in size back in my days, as i stared at the Young Little Monkeys of today. Hmmmz… And so a group photo of the Old Monkeys Gorillas was taken aft the event.
Surprising to many for not fitting into the usual stereotypes, i actually hailed from a certain uniformed ECA grp, or Co-Curriculum Activity (CCA) according to wat they call it now. Being old enuf to create a stir yet young enuf to get away wif it then, teenage years was Notorious~! To illustrate, i dug out an undated photo of wat was a supper-cum-discussion session in the wee hours in the morning. Being the, erm, law-abiding citizens tt we r, erm, i think this was probably, erm, more than 5yrs ago…
In evidently, i realised i had terrorised and influenced quite a number of ppl when i was younger. Heh, i IS part of their Childhood and i IS honoured~! I probably had the world at my feet back then. Wahahahhahahaa…
Knots and lashings were few of the many things I used to play, and the year 2006 symbolically marked a special meaning of it~!
Kitchen was as usual left alone for Saturday dinner, thou wif Dad away. Bo bianz, it’s always been Mommy’s off day from cooking~! But like tt oso good la, wahahaha… Aniwae Mommy had her cravings for Hokkien Noodles and placed an order for all to share, in addition to the usual tze char dinner fare. Then when her anxiously awaited dish came…
Tze Char Auntie : 来~! 福建面~! Mommy : *looks at the plate* eh~? 为什么你的福建面不是黑黑的~? Tze Char Auntie : 一样的，只是他们下的黑酱油没那么多咯 Mommy : *whining* hokkien mee should be black black colour one ma… EuGene : huh~? same wat… Mommy : black black colour looks more appetising ma… EuGene : *scratch head* Mommy : haiya, nairmind la… eat la, come, eat… EuGene : *in thoughts* eh maybe wear sunglasses can oredi~?
Containing within my own self cuz i IS got manners, i kept quiet instead of retorting my mom. Erm, at least it’s very very seldom tt i do talk back la, i think~? I IS good, obedient son ok~! Wahahahahahaaa…
Alamak i think im gonna get slaughtered for posting this, but back to the topic of hokkien noodles, i IS bewildered~! How come not say put more soya sauce and tt the colour darker will taste better instead~? It’s healthier wif lesser dark soya sauce, and e presentation of tt hokkien mee din look tt bad to me wat. Nevertheless, i think wat my mom meant was tt it wud taste better…
Unusual and vexing it seems on How Females Communicate yea~? How they always so ever often meant one thing, yet voice another~?! I think i get it now why when females say "No" they cud either mean "Yes", "No" or both. Vice-versa applies too~? Wahahahaa, si eh Complex le… N they call this Sophistication~! Fwah~! Poor males to be at the recieving end of all this hor~? Hmmmmz…
Moreover wif the tze char auntie having overheard Mom’s comments, an afternote showed tt she like not blur one.. Either she din understand english or they’re both females i guess~!? Wahahahahaha…
Upholding the frenzy craze of old skool hits tt had struck me recently, i reminisced the old grunge sombre feeling. An old time favourite tt i somehow always have a predilection for was fished out, and i realised the album "Bringing Down the Horse" was a 1996 production. Fwah~! The lyrics in the album’s songs somehow ring a tune in me, the closet pessimist realist i always was.
Out of coincidence, small number of frds ard me haven had much of a smooth sailing time. While there’s nothing much i can do, less advise and listening ear to lend, this particular song had probably expressed my concern, well wishes and worry for them. We choose to go for things in our best efforts, but nothing’s perfect. Rid the despondence, push on~!
One Headlight - The Wallflowers
So long ago, i don’t remember when That’s when they say I lost my only friend Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease As I listened through the cemetry trees
I seen the sun comin’ up at the funeral at dawn The long broken arm of human law Now it always seemed such a waste She always had a pretty face So I wondered how she hung around this place
Hey, come on try a little Nothing is forever There’s got to be something better than In the middle But me & Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight
She said it’s cold It feels like Independence Day And I can’t break away from this parade But there’s got to be an opening Somewhere here in front of me Through this maze of ugliness and greed And I seen the sun up ahead At the county line bridge Sayin’ all there’s good and nothingness is dead We’ll run until she’s out of breath She ran until there’s nothin’ left She hit the end, it’s just her window ledge
**~Chrous~**
Well this place is old It feels just like a beat up truck I turn the engine, but the engine doesn’t turn Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes This place is always such a mess Sometimes I think I’d like to watch it burn I’m so alone, and I feel just like somebody else Man, I ain’t changed, but I know I ain’t the same But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin’ dreams I think her death it must be killin’ me
**~Chorus~**
Yesteryears zoomed past me in a flash, and many hurdles had been crossed. Shit happens, but Life still goes on. The pain and sufferings only reminds us all tt we are merely alive. The secretive Mr S. had once told me tt everyone’s problem is immense and nvr small thru their own eyes. Comforting when i once needed it, i thank him. To all those in need at present, i add onto this; "Have u yet done all tt u cud~?"… I IS getting old, or maybe it’s juz my thoughts and viewpoints. Wahahahahaaa…
(P/s: For those who were intuitive enuf to catch my encoded msgs of all my entries to date, u IS good~! And if u have oredi logged onto ur friendster account. I shall reveal the identity of its recipient… Yes its YOU~! Or maybe it isnt~? Wahahahahaaa… I IS such a tease~!)
Evening tt realised the fact tt it has been awhile since i had some alchohol, 2 jokers were in action. The occasion was moreover tied in wif Tiko Cow successfully gotten a new job, while i being momentarily relieved from all tt stress. We were happily downing at the barcounter, as a bottle of House Premium Merlot was ordered n the previously-balanced half bottle of Chivas Regal brought out. Some serious binge drinking was done, for by ard 2am (i can’t rem the exact time for i was real tipsy as well, only lying if i din confessed to it) a brand new bottle of Chivas was oredi on the counter-top. By now the toot was Sprawled all over the counter Motionless, and i even joined our bartender to laugh and make fun of him for Challenging Me to Drink. He had even secretly went to puke wif the much stealth he cud gather. Heh, i IS smug~! But next was Gettin His Sorry Ass Out of tt watering hole and back to the comfort of his home? Boy was he heavy and really not helping me at all, as i struggled down the spiral staircase wif a drunk carcass in tow. Can’t even use a teeny wheeny bit of strength to get up meh? ~Ggrrr roar~
Very Chuan* by the time i got to the roadside, i sure was drained outta my energy and sanity. There was no way i cud take another step so i laid him by the pedestrain pavement, waiting for him to sober up and me to catch my breath alil. Probably an hour passed n the next thing i knw it was My Turn 2B Drunk and puking frm the exertion and accelerated blood circulation~! He weighed a bloody tonne and i IS getting cute, so u can’t really blame me for being lousy can u~?! Robin got up ironically this time, and he in turn Helped Me Back Instead~! Wahahahahah… @#$%^&*~! Ok so aft he got me back to my place, he needed to rest while i hit the showers. Came out and ~walah~ He Was Once Again Dead, dusgustingly stinky and On My Bed(i IS got evidence of the drunk cow carcass below, who kicked me off to the floor)~! Juz cudn’t get him up to return back to his place. Ugh~! Serves him right wif tt terrible hangover as i got away scot free heh? Die die want face and dun admit drunk lah~!
Laughing stock we sure made ourselves to be for We IS Big Joke~! Wierd it feels for telling something tt kinda juz made silly of urself. But for the fun of it, i IS tickled by wat happened. Rem i IS got big heart~! Wahahahahaa…
(Ps: ok i din wanna call My Best Bro and Brudder Bear for help cuz neither the 2 of us wanted to wash car the next day, and hell knws wat time it was oredi)
I have gotten a new "Crap-State Lingo"~! While i have fallen prey to it, the others ard me have been catching it too like tt of an epidemic. Hmmmz…
Fwah aisay man, i IS good~!
Somehow this kinda rebukes tt uncomfy claim as well, where others regarded me as a nerd. An under-dog, rebel, gangster or joker perhaps but never a NERD~! It really feels kinda wierd being called tt. But nairmind, i IS got big heart~! Wahahahahhaa…
Now isn’t it intersting to find how some conversations actually work out? There i was talking to Someone and the conversation went as such~
Someone : i’ve changed… EuGene : huh? Someone : yea i’ve changed, 360 degree change… EuGene : eh isn’t dat back to the same position? Someone : ~lost~ EuGene : ~blur~
Indeed tt if u wud to do a 360 degree turn, U only find urself back in the same orignal spot. N how abt 180 degrees we ask ourselves, but the impact wud not be created. Moreover, it only reveals tt u have turned ur back on something, yet still being in the exact same axis~! Hmmmz, not very good i wud say.
So changes shud be done in Small Angles, where u can at times still ReflectandEvaluate on wat u saw b4. Symetry shud be considered as well for the LesserEffort. There’s no difference in 90 and 270 degrees, it’s only a matter of either clockwise or counter-clockwise from where u started~! Wahahahahaha..
Impressive entry title huh as i tot to myself… While enjoyin this song by Wang Lee Hom, a sudden wierd idea came to mind. I translated the song title into English and ~walah~ out came a "preachy" phrase~! Wahahahahah…
Uhad probably been waiting for another wierd 大道理 of mine? Aren’t the lyrics self-explanatoy in itself, as i wonder how shud i go abt doing perceptions all in "EuGene’s Unique Style"~?
Hmmmz, it’s merely a nice song carrying a great tune yea? Well, seems like im becoming Lazy~! Wahahahaha..
