I was sad and angry yesterday. I don’t even know why. Somehow, the feelings and emotions must have just come in altogether so suddenly.
Sigh. I s’pose I can’t stand people who waste things and other factors that made me angry, e.g. my nagging mother, my lack of hard-working ness, ungrateful people.
And then, there was another factor:
“Sheltie… DO you like the present I gave you?”
Because I asked for her feedback last week on the music CDs I gave her. Well, she said it was like restaurant music and some real oldie orchestra songs were cheesy and she forgot to say ‘Thank you’.
Maybe I didn’t catch her ‘Thank you’. But I don’t mind all that. I just want to know does she like it? Does she appreciate my gift to her?
I was feeling sad and a little hurt when she said all those things, but I told myself I must accept constructive critism. And I think she does appreciate it deep down in her heart.
She gave me an okay explanation and then I poured out my feelings. Wee were in class then, with a group of people playing Scrabble just in front of me, next to Sheltie and behind Sheltie.
I felt under-appreciated when I was doing so many things for the class, putting up with the Head of Class responsibility and my own responsibility as the Treasurer of the Class. Being the Head of the class is a lot of work. I know it now. But I still thrive to do the best that I can. I never ask for more, just a simple, “Thank you” will suffice.
Sometimes I felt my kindness being taken for granted.
“It’s so hard to be what people expected me to be,” I sobbed.
“You can’t have everybody like you,” Sheltie said.
“Then, just living sometimes is so unbearable.” (Mind you, I do not have suicidal tendencies).
“My brother does so many things for Oriental Music Society and they didn’t appreciate what he has done, instead, they talk behind his bad how inefficient he is. He never cried.”
“Boys are different. They don’t cry easily,” I said.
“Some people never say it out, but they do appreciate all the work that you have done for them. If they don’t, tell me why you keep being elected as Treasurer every year since 13?”
Then it shifted to Sheltie’s birthday present.
“You’re the only one who has given me a present this year. Sheryl… I don’t know about her.”
“How about Purple? She and you were like so close.”
“We’re not that close. Even Katie… sigh…”
I wanted to open my mouth and say, ‘But there’s one month before your birthday. You’re bound to receive presents.’
I gave it early, because I couldn’t wait and I wanted to repay her kindness when she fetches me home almost every Friday without asking for money.
Then, she had to leave for a Choir presentation.
Sheltie is an introvert, one who is always deep in thought and one who is smart. She thinks talking nonsense is a waste of time and can’t be bothered to talk to boys. She lacks people skills and some of my friends thought of her as a ‘Snob’, but she’s not like that. Just a little critical and a little of a perfectionist.
Then, I shifted to another group of friends who are too, concerned. I told them I don’t want to think about it, because it will make me cry again.
So, Elle try to not let me think of those unhappy things and she playfully scolded Hurley for not contributing much to the ‘counseling’ session.
Hurley didn’t know what to do and she started to play the ‘Rubber’ game, where each person have in their property a weapon, which they will use only to attack and get past obstacles. Haha. The game I meant were a game played when we were just primary students.
We each got hold of a rubber and tried to ‘eat’ each other by making the rubber move and have it fall onto the opponent’s rubber. Our main target were Hurley, because she was boasting about her ability. The obstacles are like a ‘bridge gap’ (moving two tables away) with a ruler as a bridge.
Somehow the game took a pleasant turn and we were all laughing madly. Sheltie was in the pack, too since she came back early. The game was a refreshing game, as it opened up our childhood merriment and childish ways, without even caring what others thought of us.
Drew came by and commented on our childish ways.
I told him, “I was sad, so they tried to make me feel better. Now I’m happy.”
Then, something funny happened and we laughed together.
The merry laughter was contagious. ^_^
((Joe went to Hong Kong. That lucky brat! Oh. He’s coming back all right.))
I feel so connected and I felt loved among my friends whom I have dedicated to write about them in my blog. You can see most of the entries are about the experiences I have with them, the funny episodes and gullible moments. And some the torrential anger between us. (Though I rarely post it, because some were private. I wanted to focus on the happy moments, not the one that would remind the bad times that has happened.)
After that, we went to Chemistry lab and Seb asked me why did I cry.
This entry is an answer.

Conversations with Teachers
“Girls, am I sexy?” Jay gave us the ‘Miss Universe’ stare and the husky voice, with a tinge of ‘I’m-just-kidding’ tone.
Elle and I laughed and laughed and LAUGHED.
Apparently Jay was demonstrating his bravery to show Seb that it’s not a big deal ‘doing’ a dare in front of girls.
((You just gotta be more thick-skinned, Seb))
Well anyways! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SEB!
Do you like your present? Do you? Do you? Do you?
I know it’s a day late, but we made up for effort.
Hah! The guys in my class wrestled Seb to the ground and wanted to peel every clothing off his body, they only got his shoes and socks, but it left poor Seb bruised.
Chaz began to brag about his strength. Drew beat Electra in a game of chess, no help from Jay who was so impatient with Electra, who was slow to catch his helpful hints. Taddi was questioning Jay’s every step. Jay got fed up, but stayed to help out, but his strategy failed. Macho was helping Drew and he went into a rough sketch of the ‘kill-kill’ warpath and found out he was wrong.
Drew was thinking and would not sacrifice his knight. Taddi caused Electra’s bishop to eaten and everything was one whole mess.
But in the end, Drew won and Miss Sherry was there to see it.
Then, nearing the end of school hours, which unfortunately I did not witnessed the bespectacled incident that happened to Elle. She told me this.
Drew sat in my place and was talking to Elle. Miss Sherry was standing in front of the class, and then Joe opened his BIG MOUTH!
“See, they’re a couple,” Joe pointed at Elle and Drew.
Elle denied profusely, and Drew perhaps just smiled mysteriously. Chaz was sitting on my table.
“Really?” Miss Sherry asked.
“Yeah. He also likes her,” Joe pointed at Chaz.
Seb cut in and said, “And she just broke up with Winston.”
Elle was having a seizure and breathing difficulty (from laughing too much). I think she tried to whack Joe and Seb, but missed.
Oh man!! I wished I could be there to hear it!! LSHMBB!!
And another conversation is through paper with our lovable Math teacher.
Seb had the honour of receiving such rare remarks on his exam paper from Mrs. Hun. I guess it was funny and embarrassing for him.
Pardon me if I’m wrong:
On his first page, she wrote: ‘How can it ever be?’
The next page: ‘Never!’
The final paper: ‘No need.’
The first two garnered pleasant laughter, but the final one was like perhaps Mrs. Hun knew Seb and Additional Mathematics just couldn’t click. Good try, Seb.
And Winter, I know I keep forgetting to e-mail you my blog address… But I thought I gave it to you??
And the present I bought you was oh-so fine. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, WINTER!!
I’m still amazed that Seb has the same birthday as you, Winter.
It must be fate. ; p
Elle and I laughed and laughed and LAUGHED.

Tee-hee Conversations/ Funny moments 2
“Am I handsome?” Joe asked me.
I was like, “Huh?” ‘Coz I didn’t catch the “Am I…” I just heard, “Handsome.”
I thought Joe was calling me handsome and funny thoughts ran into my mind. I was actually going to answer something else to spite Joe, but thank goodness I stick to my plain goose, “Huh?”
He dismissed my ‘HUH?’
I suppose he thought that I was thinking: “You? Handsome?”
OH! Before that, I remembered something funny…
I just remembered the punch line, so it might not be so funny.
As Joe was saying something about Winter and he ended with, “Kiss-kiss.” , our Math teacher walked by!!!!
Joe went all red and buried his head in his bag!
It was a moment so embarrassing and humiliating that it was actually hilarious.
And there was another time when Winter walked past our class and Seb saw her.
He was watching so intently and told us, “Look at that CHICK!”
Seb said the ‘CHICK’ word so loudly that (I think) Winter heard it, or maybe she just heard our laughter.
And OOOOOOOOOOOH!
Sheltie has braces. Sheltie haa-as braces.
She asked me, “When two people with braces kiss, will their braces interlock together?”
I nodded and said, “It might cut the tongue a little, too”
“Really?”
“Let’s ask Joe.”
Then, I was feeling in a mischievous mood and asked Joe, “Sheltie asked that if she kissed a guy with braces, will their braces interlock together?”
“Oh! She would kiss a guy with braces huh? Let’s ask Seb to wear one,” Joe said excitedly. He hollered to the back of the class were Seb was playing Scrabble with Ryan. “SEB! SHELTIE WILL KISS YOU IF YOU WEAR BRACES!
No, wait. Ryan has braces, right?” Joe said with glee.
Astonishingly, Seb hollered back that Ryan has braces. (Meaning she should kiss Ryan over him, huh?)
“HEY!” Sheltie scolded Joe.
Mandy spoke up, “I don’t think their braces will stick together.”
Joe did some visual movements with his hands and said thoughtfully, “Unless you’re really [I] ganas [/I].”
Therein after, Seb came by and said again, “Ryan has braces.”
I didn’t want to resume doing Math, but Electra wanted to. I was feeling bored and she told me to go talk to others. And so I did, with amazing results! Like the above and down below:
After watching and witnessing so many Scrabble rounds, I went up to Sheltie and began to recite my made-up poem about her character with an accent. And then I went into a Shakespeare-y mood and told Sheltie about the movie, ‘Shakespeare in Love’, where Gwyneth Paltrow was naked in some scenes.
I started to describe Gwyn’s boobs.
“She has nice boobs. Round, just nice and her nipples are so red.”
Sheltie gave me a ‘look’.
Then, I heard Electra calling me. “Hey Minty, talk to Joe, he’s bored.”
Then I said to Joe, “We are talking about breasts.” I said the word, ‘breasts’ very softly, because our Chemistry teacher was in class marking our Chemistry examination paper.
“You’re talking about boobs?” I nodded.
Joe got excited and moved his chair over to us. I sat next to Mandy.
“So, let’s talk about boobs.”
The conversation spiral down to porn and I dampen Joe’s mood by saying, “They’re soft, they sag and they have nipples.”
“Stop it! I can’t stand hearing that boobs sag!” Joe cried.
“Alright then, they’re elastic and…”
Joe broke into a ‘la la la la’ verse and shut his ears.
Then, Drew came by and Joe told him we’re talking about ‘boobies’. Then, he looked at my watch and packed his bags.
It was almost time to go home.
Somehow, before the bell rang, we have one more final conversation about porn.
Sheltie told me that ‘Shakespeare in Love’ shows those nude scenes and she defined it as ‘porn’.
“No, it’s soft porn. It’s not that bad,” I replied.
“But those short scenes make me…” She made her face into a, ‘What-the-heck’ look.
“Let’s ask Drew if he watches porn.” Drew was sitting in my place and I was sitting next to Sheltie.
“I’m a good boy, not like Joe.”
Then somehow, an array of ‘Grandma’ and ‘Grandpa’ and ‘Euroship’ and ‘American Pie’ flooded into the conversation.
Oh man! I got the chronology of the conversations all screwed up. I suddenly remembered Macho Man was in the conversation too. And it wasn’t Drew that asked Joe what we’re talking about. It’s Macho Man! I think.
Mandy was shocked that I watch ‘American Pie’ series. She thought I’m a good girl and wouldn’t dream of tainting my pure mind with all those virtue-erasing dirty props.
Macho said, “Is it so odd to think that she wouldn’t watch some shows like this? Can’t you imagine?”
Mandy replied, “But she’s Minty. Good girls don’t…”
And now I remembered the conversation I had with Electra, the Captain of the Cheerleading Club (CCC- Catholic Cheerleading Club): Triple C.
We were talking about American Pie. She only watched the Wedding I suppose and I went on and told her some funny snippets in American Pie 2, where Jim (Jason Briggs) accidentally put Super Glue on his hands instead of lubrication to satisfy his desire as he watched ‘Pussy Palace’ on TV.
Electra made a face.
“He made moaning sounds, but then, it was replaced by an ‘Ow’ and another until he realized that his ‘thing’ is stuck to the blanket. He looked on his night dresser and saw his lubrication lotion tube left unused while the Super Glue cap was open and dripping… what else? Glue!
Jim said, ‘Oh, shit!’ and ripped the blanket away from his ‘thing’, which was evident with his loud, ‘OW’. Then, he tried to get the porn tape out from the VCR and the tape got stuck on his other free hand matted with glue.
He tried opening the door with his mouth…”
And you know the rest. Or don’t you?
“Jim came out from hospital with a big puffy cotton diaper bandage.”
If you wanna know more, just tell me. ; D
