the best day

Im the kind of person who likes to predict

and Im happy when my predictions came true

It gave me a feeling that

everything in this world can be explained

even if the reason would be
"It just happens..."

the world isnt that complicated

it never was

Didnt think I would be wrong though..

Birthdays

is just a normal, typical day for me

I only need it to remember my pin number

and to fill in forms

just to prove Im 18

I always think its funny how

people make a big fuss out of birthdays

enlightening in some way

disturbing in another

I prefer it when people remember other people

everyday

so it'll be like birthdays every day

and another thing

Im not one of the people blessed with the ability to know what type of gift to get someone

I SUCK at choosing presents

badly....

I can show you if you like~

It was 2004

and Im 14

(obviously....)

and it was the end of year class party

you know how during that time

I dont know if it was the same for you guys or not
but if there's a class party

there's a part where you exchange presents, right?

and its always the same every year

boy gives to girl, girl gives to boy

yeah

and at my school

this is SUCH a big deal

haha

because you dont talk with boys on average, for one

if you do, you're gedix

*gawd, the world is so paranoid

at such a young age

they told me that boys are evil

so dont talk to them... *evil laugh*

except for studies

I always thought they did this

to unleash the gedix-ness in everyone

at least

at some point in their life

gosh...how helpful... -.-ll

so, being the innocent person I was back then

I was filled with joyous thoughts

of how rockin' the class party's gonna be

and cant wait to dance my pants off that night

hmm... -.-?

-too much-

but I dont have a present

to give

besides..

what do you give to boys anyway???

hey boys!!

answer me this

what do you guys want??

and release me from this suffering and confusion

Ive been trying to get the answers for that

for years

Back then,

the only source for male views

are from my dad

because

he's a guy

the only guy in my life

*and why is it when I say it, it sounds so pathetic

"hey dad?"

'hmm?'

"can you help me?"

'sure..........'

"what gift can I get for a boy?"

*awkward pause*

and there we sat

father and daughter

and thoughts of how fast the kids are growing

and how he should start worrying

and what the heck are they picking up these days?

"why do you ask?"

*trying to keep a straight face but

sadly dad, it didnt work*

"its for a class party"

'oh'

....

.....

......

'I dont know,try asking mum'

ll- -l

gee dad

thanks a lot

mum said get a book

kakngah said a brand new pen

*pen? PEN? gawd, Im not that cheap...*

but kaklong said to get a really fancy shaver

a new gilette

for manly purposes

*I dont wanna know what she actually meant*

I bought the poor soul chocolate

because boys likes to eat, right?

please say yes....

It wasnt any chocolate

Its the chocolate

king-size cadbury almond and hazelnut

how cool is that?

I spent three days wrapping and rewrapping the chocolate

and I even bought a RM3.00 bow to go along with it

It looked too good to eat

muahahhaha~

but he didnt came to the party that night

and I didnt dance my pants off either

(T.T)

Its alright
I'll give it to him in class
....

but he didnt like it

he asked me...

"Is this it?"

ouch....

"I can finish this in one night!"

ooooooouch!!!

Im such a big fan of the dramatic exit

so

I told him, fine...

and left the class

I dont know if he'd seen my eyes

it was bloodshot and terribly red

I think he did

So, technically

Ive lost faith in guys

and in chocolate

I didnt touch another cadbury since then

that was the history of how I realised that I suck at picking presents

and I ended up giving money to people instead
go and buy your own present la

.

...

....

.....

wait,

I meant to write about something else actually

dangit!

17th April every year...

that day is my birthday

I was highly observant to notice the trend

of how birthdays are celebrated in this new town

Its always the night before the day

at exactly 12.00 pm

good

I know now

and I can prepare myself for it

I can always act suprised

its not that hard to fake an expression right?

so

11.57 pm, 16th April

me waiting for the suprise to happen

too bad guys

I already see it coming

You can neva mess with a psychic

:D

hoho~

and I was right

3 minutes later

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA!!"

from the girls next door

*fuh! glad thats over*

no more suprises

but where are the wishes from my housemates?

this is weird

this is not suppose to happen

it contradicts with my prediction and observation

not a single wish

not even from my roomie

*sob3*

could it be that Im THAT insignificant in their lives?

to tell you the truth

I was a wee bit dissapointed and sad

but no matter
I understand the world doesnt revolve around me
Im not gonna be all sad and pathetic just because people dont remember my freaking birthday

*yosh!!*

and thus

I manage to slip myself away

from blushing in front of my classmates

when they sing HAPPY BIRHDAY to me

the next morning

dont get me wrong

Im just terribly shy

but thanks a lot guys!!

and I do love all of you

To cover the sadness in me

I tried to make the best of my pitiful birthday

by splurging myself

yeah

me buying presents for myself

nad, me, ajin, and hany

ate pizza

bought shoes

clothes

and rabbito

hoho

mind you

I did spent a lot of money that day

but more importantly

I was happy...to an extent~

that night

I was happy again

because I can now watch the whole season 3 of heroes

*I loves my vuze*

.

..

...
....

.....

sylar was about to kill somebody

and eat their brain

and hayden looked like she's wearing a wig

when suddenly...

"NANA!!!!"

"your car alarm is going off..."

huh?

who would ever want to steal my crappy car?

and at 8 too?

*bizzaro*

this must be the dumbest thief ever in existence

*sigh!*

But I love my car to bits

and went down to check anyway

it was so odd for my car to go off like that

and I actually thought that the cats had something to do with it

nad looked all worried though when I met her outside

honestly

I was pretty scared someone's about to steal my putra

but not having any other explanation for it

I double lock my car and even check the tyres and trunk

weird night..

I walked back to the house

to find the doors locked

dang!...I only went out for a couple of minutes

nobody had to go and lock the doors

*sigh*

knock3...

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!"

what?

I was literally speechless

and let out a high-pitched scream instead

why oh why didnt I see it coming

the clues

its all there

why would yana, anneh and nadira be all concerned about my car

and I almost dont want to go outside and check

because I didnt recall seeing the little alarm lights at my car keys

roomie insisted the lights were on

and it was suspicious
because the only time my alarm will go off
is when someone opened the unlocked passenger door

which will obviously set off the alarm

only a few people knew about that unlocked door
my housemates amongst them

fishy......

and why was nad outside

what was she doing?

waiting for me perhaps?

stalling me most probably

she was being all worried and everything too..
hmm...

It almost looked like an act

so carefully planned

so perfect
until even I

didnt manage to notice it

and napoleon was missing too

I just didnt see him
tati and mia manage to cloud my senses
towards napoleon and brought him to the top floor
tsk3

*some psychic*

they bought me ice-cream

laden with m&ms and cloud 9

thanks

I love you guys to bits!!!

and Im so getting revenge
you'll see

even roomie wont be safe

*evil laugh some more*

So

thats the story

hey people like me!

there's still hope

the world still loves you

dont be a loner and a nerd

and play minesweeper 24/7

my housemates said that they

planned the whole

not-wishing-me-the-night-before

and they did remember my birthday actually...
