Cns, Calvin Chin and me went to visit our primary school teacher/tutor this morning (15/8/06). We bought some fruits and a basket of roses for her. She is sick. But you can tell that she is much better now, physically and mentally. She is more optimistic compared to the times when my mom first told me the bad news. We were so excited to see her again and she is still the same old teacher that we used to know. Years may passed but our relationship never change.

We talked for few hours about everything. It was so funny to hear stories about her two kids. We talked about the old times when we used to have tuitions at her house and how everything has changed now. We talked about our brothers and sisters because when one of the siblings in a family take tuition from her, the rest will eventually come as well. That’s why all these years she has so many students and she knows everyone of them very well. She knows all our parents and the differences between me and my siblings and other ppl’s as well. She is more than a teacher to us. She is so fun as a friend.

I remembered we used to open up her fridge to check for any snacks or desserts right after we reached her house. And then we would make a note in mind to ask her to treat us later. She was so nice and would organise parties for us when we asked her to. Then, she would make lots of delicious desserts because she knows we love them.

She doesn’t look like a sick person at all. I’m really glad to see this promising condition. She leads her life like how she does before she fall sick. Just that she’s taking one year off from teaching so she said she felt a bit empty at the first place. But after she started to organise her time and make herself occupied, she said everything is ok.

She told us that she couldn’t accept it at the first place. But few months later, she realized that everything has two sides and she learned to look at the bright side. That’s how she pulled herself together, accepted and face her illness with courage and hope.

I always look up to her and every word of her advices serves as guidelines to me. I’m really happy that I finally met her today after all these years.

Take care and hope everything will turn out well to you, my best teacher/tutor!

It’s 1.18am now and I just came back from a bbq at a high school friend’s house. Most of them who went were studying A-levels in Tawau and they just had their results last week. This party was to celebrate their excellent results and some sort of gathering.

The bbq was fun. Although it was damn hot, everyone still managed to talk and laugh enjoying the process. My lamb chops weren’t fully cooked but I had damn a lot of meatballs and baby sausages, so I was ok.

I only click with some of them as some ppl only talk to me when they needed information from me. When they don’t, they just ignore me even when I attempted to say hi or smile to them. So I just walked off from one and headed into the house for tv shows when she sat down at me & my best friend’s table. What? She sat down and said hi ONLY TO MY FRIEND. It’s not the first time already and so what if you got 4As? Thus, I think I don’t have the need to be more polite to catch her attention or whatsoever. Well, we were never close back then anyway. So nevermind.

After my stomach is fulled, most of the time I was inside the house watching chinese show and CSI NY. The guys played their football games and DOTA, while others were chatting outside. I didn’t talk much with those whom were outside as I said earlier, I don’t really click with some ppl and I wasn’t in the mood to social.

When most of the ppl left as it’s getting late, I was still there as my neighbour who incharged of my transport was playing games. So I went out and talked to another bunch of friends whom I am more comfortable with as they were waiting for their ‘drivers’ as well. The drivers were all inside playing games.

One of my friends who came back from UK for summer holidays caught my attention lately. I don’t know why. I just found him interesting. He is funny and mature enough for our age. I just couldn’t help but to have a glimpse of where he was at the party whenever he wasn’t nearby. It’s not that I like him or what. It’s just that he makes me curious. Or he curious-es me (if curious can be used as a verb). He makes me like to observe him. His expressions, his eyes and the way he speaks. Ok, I’m not potentially stalking him or whatsoever.

Well, the end note is everything went well and I enjoyed myself chilling with fun ppl tonight (yday night). Cns is leaving to US in a couple of hours later. All the best to you my oldest best friend! Love ya!
