The Rehab

Day 1 of the unofficial Exam Break: Plans for Sue Anne and John Bow to return home, Nick Ivans and Sanya Dival to sort out their lives and Angie Flo and Hans Basil to focus on their studies. Guess only 4 of the 6 had their plans worked out.

After finishing his last minute packing, John invited Hans to breakfast. With his sister. Hans, despite his ravenous stomach screaming at him to accept the invitation, declined. He had enough of playing a dumbpost among the spoken alien language. Moreover, this wasn't a breakfast with friends but with his roommate's sister. That was definitely more weird. John knew that, but somehow managed to convince Hans to accompany him, and so he did. All in all, the breakfast was not all that bad. Considering.

With John and his sister departing Sunway for home, Hans had the room to himself, yet again. it wasn't as fun as he thought it would be, as boredom soon crept in. While his study plan stuck on his wall stated "Econs Unit 1" for work needed to be done for the day, he ignored it and ruminated for other possibilities. In the end, only one word came to mind-pool. With Nick and Ean temporarily free from the clutches of exams, a pool date was set.

While the trio enjoyed the pool, they soon grew bored of it and opted to have lunch at the now mundane Sunway Pyramid. There, Hans bumped into Sue Anne, albeit metaphorically, who was running errands for her mother. Both had only just complained the day before how banal the mall had become, yet both were there again the very next day. After a quick chat, both went their seperate ways. This time literally. It seems 'Boredom' was the dish of the day on Hans' menu.

Sanya Dival's day wasn't as boring or insignificant as Hans'. It started with her Chemistry paper, and culminated in a series of trips around town with her friends. Amidst all the fun and joy, Sanya's will to change remained as vehement as when she first made it, and she was determined not to disappoint Angie and more importantly, herself, again. Sanya seemed to making baby steps on the path to recovery. Would these same steps lead her back to regaining her throne in Sunway University College?

Apparently, Nick Ivans' luck had run out. Abruptly, and without warning. While he had enjoyed a healthy dose of luck the past week, it was all taken back in one swift motion. He had tried his hardest at crossing the bridge to recieve his rewards he so desperately coveted, but apparently the reward itself was flawed, probably a cruel trick Lady Luck had intended for all along. Or was it punishment for Nick's apparent overconfidence?

Day 2 of the unofficial Exam Break: Sue Anne and John Bow back at home and absent from the Sunway scene; Angie Flo and Hans Basil continue their struggle to study; Nick Ivans nursing a cracking life and Sanya Dival making remarkable progress in rediscovering her old self.

Perhaps the mantra "two heads are better than one" was the impetus behind Hans' decision to study Economics with Angie in the college library. Unfortunately, just like all his past decisions, it was a bad one, as he not only distracted himself from actual studying but also interrupted Angie, halting the momentum she had gained. With both friends struggling to study, they decided to visit, for the millionth time, Sunway Pyramid for lunch and gift-shopping for a friend. And they were accompanied by Sanya Dival and Jim A.D.. The four discovered that lunch was a longer affair than they had envisaged and in the end, the outing pushed past the hour mark which Hans and Angie had allocated. Hans should have realised by now that no plan he makes are ever going to materialise.

Back in college, Angie's mind was tormented by demons she never had before. While her life in college had been relatively care-free the past few weeks, it was the complete opposite now. The struggles to study bit at her thoughts while her friendship with Sanya was taking on a new twist. Hans could physically see the effects of Angie's demons, but he knew that he could not do anything, as he had offered all possible help he could. How would Bubbly Girl turned Troubled Girl cope with the new problems?

Jay Dic's life was unfortunately as bland as bread- all day at home studying, watching cartoons as a form of relaxation or a rare outing with his family. On Saturday night however, Jay was the epitome of joy as he recieved an invitation from Alicia to attend a surprise party for her boyfriend Shayne. Of course, Jay accepted the invite, and the huge smile plastered on his face throughout the party more or less told the story. Finally he had something interesting to do on a Saturday night.

At the same party, Sanya and Jim, along with Aron, his younger brother and several others, were present. While the party was a blast, Sanya had some blasting to do as she ended up having cake smeared in her hair. But in the spirit of joy and celebration, she completely remained cool and had a laugh over it, as her spirits, and not mind, remained high. After the party, she sent Jim home, and ran into Hans, figuratively. Would her joy remain or would it erode?Thankfully, it prevailed.

Shayne's birthday celebrations were not over it seemed, as Sanya and Hans called him out for a round of pool. While Shayne and Sanya took turns showcasing their individual skills, Hans sat in the corner a forlorn figure, unable to fathom why he could never improve. Hans should learn quickly he ought not to dwell on the unimportant, and focus on what was.
For the second time, Sanya played the role of a driver as she sent the birthday boy and her ex back. While Shayne trooped back to his hostel, Hans and Sanya had a rare heart to heart conversation in her car. Both cleared several sensitive issues and it seemed they had started a new chapter in their messy book. While the last time the pair chatted in the car culminated in a heavy making out session, this time, history did not repeat itself. What did though was the need for Hans to start being introspective. Now, Hans looks like the one in need of a behavioural change. How the tables have turned.
