Awe-Struck

I went out drinking with a group of strangers Sunday night, first time chilling out at a bar with people I hardly know, along with a few extremely hot females. They weren't the most beautiful I had ever met, in fact they were plump but they were sexy, exuding confidence and charm. Yes, confidence and charm, just two factors capable of making an average individual stand out like a star.

After some drinks, the girls kissed each other, with me sitting in between them. I stared, eyes wide open with my jaws nearly hanging loose, the image of two female frenching each other forever etched within the depths of my mind. I had an adrenaline rush just watching them smooch each other, and for the first time I began to understand why men find the sight of two females kissing a turn on. It was hard, and it was believe me extremely hard to contain myself as I watched on.

All of a sudden, life was filled with colors.

Blink And You'd Miss

As I sat down to read "The Art of Seduction", a figure walked passed infront of me and started to browse the books along the shelves where I sat. Not wanting to be a hindrance, I decided to shift to a corner.

Just as I stood up, a female voice responded, "That's a nice book you're reading." I looked at the girl, dumbstruck, my eyes opened wide, heart racing. Taken by surprise, I stammered, nearly lost for words.

"Er yeah.." I replied as I looked at her. She seemed slightly taller than me, long hair, oval shaped face, books in her arms, brown handbag, dressed in a white blouse, silver grey dress and black heels.

"Oh, I'm sorry." She apologised.

"Uh, no no it okay. It fine." I replied, completely amused.

"Are you a pyschology student?" She asked.

"Oh, uh no I just got interested in these kind of stuff." I replied, my eyes staring elsewhere, embarassed and guilty.

"Oh, I see." She said.

Not knowing whether to continue the conversation, I simply smiled, sat down and opened up the book. Probably not a good time to make friends, I thought.

Moments passed and no respond, all of a sudden I started hoping for her to throw the ball back at me. I hesitated, desperately searching for a line while glancing to the side, distracted by her presence.

After a while, she walked away leaving me to my own. I never took my eyes off her as she proceeded to the next shelf infront. I was strangely excited, like a kid who has never talked to a girl in his life. Still, I couldn't think of anything to begin a conversation without her wondering if I've made her my first target. Besides, she found me reading "The Art of Seduction", so what excuses would I have?

The next moment, just as I finally picked up courage to do something insane, the girl simply disappeared. F**k!! For the next twenty minutes or so I paced up and down the whole library, hoping to catch sight of her but she was nowhere to be found. F**k! Just way da' go tiger! I thought to myself, how many times in your life would you ever have a stranger opening a line like that? In the goddamn library? It was definitely my first. She was brave and that attracted me. I hesitated, I always hesitate, I always had doubts. URRGGHHH!!! Dumb-asssssss!

For the whole evening, I just wanted to smack myself across the face and send my head pummeling to the wall. After this experience, I began to realise that sometimes in life there are people who hit you like a meteor, leaving you with a large crater. Then there are times, (and possibly once in a lifetime) when someone passes you by like a falling star. Blink and you'd miss.

The Day At a Glance

Woke up first thing in the morning, only to find that some ass-f**ker son of a b***h had stolen my shoes. Thanks to that moron, I had no choice but to miss school . . . . for the third time in 2 months, this time not wanting to get sent home for breaking rules and regulations. Yes, I belong to a school or rather an academy that holds high reputation, standards and enforces strict rules and regulations. ARGH!

Took a nap before shopping round the neighbourhood and then realised in horror after 2 hours' hunt, that either no boutiques sold safety shoes, or there wasn't a single decent shoe shop around the neighbourhoods. It took awhile before it finally dawned on me that I could've worn army boots instead, after recalling Lawrence's biking adventures in boots.

Went to work.... reluctantly, as always. First thing the chef informed me, was that my "teacher" would be visiting on Monday. "What's the name? A woman, Buc... Puck.. Per...?"

"Pearlyn?" I suggested.

"Yah, your teacher lah." The chef replied in an absolutely non-chalant tone.

I was extremely annoyed and insulted that he could not for the life for him remember a guest's name, especially when it a staff from an academy with which he has a business partnership with. The previous time, he could not even spell the name of my CEO.

Absolute bastard, I can't believe you call yourself a chef. For your information, you swine, Pearlyn is not a teacher but a students' affair officer and we don't have teachers in school but instructors, chefs and office staffs; basically we run like a business organisation.

Moving on. Rabbit stew was introduced to our menu today and I unwittingly took a sip before realising to my disgust, that it was the rabbit stew! My colleagues laughed at me after learning that I have a principle of not eating anything categorised under pet; which includes in my list dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs and *ahem!* bears (my favourite species for some reasons), or according to my judgement anything cute and cuddly.

The next thing I know, Azahar calls me a wuss and a pussy because I said I don't drink beer out of fear of getting fat. I was annoyed but nevertheless hid my annoyance behind smiles because my colleagues had been very nice to me. Firstly, I am for one, not an individual to bow to peer influence, secondly I actually prefer wine to beer.

Quote of The Month

"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place... and I don´t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently, if you let it. You, me or nobody, is gonna hit as hard as life. But ain't about how hard you hit... It's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward... how much you can take, and keep moving forward. That´s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you worth, go out and get what you worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits. And not pointing fingers saying: You ain´t what you wanna be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain´t you! You´re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
