So this had been my day to day activity BEFORE/DURING exams: Wake up, study/have exam, eat lunch, study/have exam, eat dinner, study, sleep.....This has been my current day to day activity AFTER exams: Wake up, online/swim, lunch, pool/Pyramid/swim, dinner, online, sleep. Dinner usually consisted of MacD, BK, Subway etc. Money flows out of me pocket like water while unhelathy crap flows into me tummy. Pretty soon im gonna turn into a fat piglet.
Yes, im so lame and pathetic that i have no life. After exams was sposed to be THE moment, but sadly, nothin went my way. Ok, not nothing. There were those odd times where i relived my old life with some other frens outside my regular circle. Those nights out were damn fun but they cldnt really be enjoyed cos of triffling irritants botherin my mind
Before exams, i had plans with my roomie to just slack and go out and spend money like crazy (not on food, tho that kinda took a large proportion of me $). Just after the exams, I kinda let my crazy retarded side out and i overreacted to a small issue that blew up. Guess my emotion was elastic- large change in emotions due to small issues. Ok cut the econs crap.
This was what happened: Couple of me frens, Anu and Angela planned to have lunch and go to ac with their frens (the bunch of ppl i drank and slacked with). They invited me, and apparently not my roomie (JB).I wasnt in the mood to hang out directly after econs, and so decided to go back with JB. He then persistently asked me y i din join em and stuff and i kept sayin i had no mood to go out. I then got mad at him for askin me so many times and i so agreed to go out just to shut him up. In the process i kinda gave him attitude...which lasted the entire day.. i came back at 10 and he asked me where i went. i was like "out" and ignored him. Pretty bitchy and unfair to him. After all he's my closest fren and ppl don usually treat frens like this. I guess im really an alien who jus duzn understand ppl's emotions. (one of my close frens back in spore said this..now i tink its true)..moreover my lil outbursts in the past have always ruffled feathers and caused unnecessary tension.. when the fark will i ever learn tt i gotta stop being so petulant...
So things between me and JB were kinda left cliffhanger-ish and it sux that the hols din go according to plan and i feel really bad that he had to waste few days cooped up in his room with nothin to do..oh well i cant turn back time can i..i hope i can turn my stinky attitude.. i dunno how ppl actually tolerate me..
So this is prolly one of the darkest ever phases of my life im going thru right now and its so apt that its during the hols..the irony... at least exams are over... and then theres the prob with my ex, anushya.. yea weve kinda broken up ages ago but im kinda dumbfounded y im still affected by wat she does... reading her blog and finding out shes 'dating' this so called fren of mine with really detailed descriptions of their smses and actions was like being stabbed in my head and heart... yes, we're no longer together but reading all that crazy shit just got to me..i donno y.. and it made me feel really pathetic and worthless..and, this sounds really bad, made her look like some cheap desperado.. oh well i don wanna start talking abt her..ok i kinda already did... and then theres the 'other' issue im not really sposed to talk abt... the most serious one of the three..but that one's completely outta my hands...
2dae's my last day in this hell hole and im while im glad to leave, im not really elated to be going home...prolly due to all the probs... i cant wait to meet all me frens back in spore and jus chill like old times..tho i really hope i don bring this side of me along..cos its only gonna hurt em and ive done enuf of that to last 2 lifetimes... im really amazed at my capacity to hold so much crap...and disseminating it as well.. im not sure if i wanna continue MUFY but like all other life issues its outta my hands and not my decision to make.. i should pay a visit to the legendary Bermuda Triangle and just disappear into oblivion forever..that should settle all problems and make everyone happy, especially me..
ok i just realised this post is the most emo one ive ever written..seriously what the hell's wrong with u dude...get a life... stop wallowing in self-pity...ok now im talkin and advising myself..i need to check into rehab...

Monsoon
I'm staring at a broken door
There's nothing left here anymore
My room is cold
It's making me insane
I've been waitin' here so long
Another moment seems to have come
I see the dark clouds comin' up again
Running through the monsoon
Beyond the world
'Till the end of time
Where the rain won't hurt
Fighting the storm
Into the blue
And when I lose myself
I think of you
Together we'll be running somewhere new
Through the monsoon
Just me and you
A half moon fading from my sight
I see your vision it's in light
But now it's gone
And left me so alone
I know I'll have to find you now
Can hear your name and don't know how
Why can't we make this darkness
Feel like home
Running through the monsoon
Beyond the world
'Till the end of time
Where the rain won't hurt
Fighting the storm
Into the blue
And when I lose myself
I think of you
Together we'll be running somewhere new
And nothing can hold me back from you
Through the monsoon
There's nothing left here anymore
My room is cold
It's making me insane
I've been waitin' here so long
Another moment seems to have come
I see the dark clouds comin' up again
Running through the monsoon
Beyond the world
'Till the end of time
Where the rain won't hurt
Fighting the storm
Into the blue
And when I lose myself
I think of you
Together we'll be running somewhere new
Through the monsoon
Just me and you
A half moon fading from my sight
I see your vision it's in light
But now it's gone
And left me so alone
I know I'll have to find you now
Can hear your name and don't know how
Why can't we make this darkness
Feel like home
Running through the monsoon
Beyond the world

The Final Destination (Part 2)
The Beginning of the End. College now an empty contraption as all exams are a distant memory, students packing up and departing for their respective hometowns, leaving Sunway University College and all pertinent memories behind. Closing a new chapter in their lives while re-opening old ones. Holidays have arrived, but the holiday spirit was not all around.
In a bid to unleash his Dark Side, Hans Basil had fired the first salvo, John Bow completely blindsided and taking the beating meekly. What Hans had failed to forsee and completely did not expect himself was the aberration of the battle. John may have lost the first round, but he was not going to acquiesce, and fought back with all guns blazing. The loquacious turned taciturn John unleashed his own darkness, more intense and deep than Hans' initial fire. Yet again for Hans, in a different aspect of his life, the tables have turned, with Round Two now won by John. After the impressive display of darkness that totally stymied Hans, it seems bets are on for future rounds to be taken by John, who looks to have subjugated his roommate. Two days, two rounds of fighting, no friendly word spoken. At the rate things were going, any chance of a repair looks lost, as the final falling out seems to have turned this once close friendship into a fiendship.
Nick Ivans' last papers were mind boggling and troublesome, but like everyone else, he put it where it belonged-in the past-and set his sights on the very near future. Despite the hanging issue that had yet to be settled niggling his mind, he swept it aside for the sake of basking in the post-exam atmosphere. And so it was that Nick, Ean, Hans and John headed to play pool. And it was then where Hans spotted Sanya Dival alongside Dash Reagan, a friend. While things had been moving pretty slowly between the two, they certainly look to be heating up now. Whether it was surprise, anger or shock that he felt, one thing was certain for Hans-expect the unexpected.
With the collegiate semester over, home was the destination on every students' mind. For Sanya, Angie Flo and Jay Dic, home was near college, within the environs. For the others, it was a matter of time before they departed, leaving their short legacies behind. First on the home-bound express was John, whose reclusive nature completely fooled Hans, pulverizing him in the process and making him eat humble pie. Now that he was off the Sunway radar, things were left hanging, and during the holidays, it remains to be seen if the time apart corroborates the falling out, or if absence makes the heart grows fonder.
Night-Out 2.0 was on the cards, with the same participants as the previous event attending. Among them were Sue Anne and Hans, whose once mundane day-to-day activities have now turned full throttle. Angie would have been pleased to know that Hans had overcome one barrier to socializing with her peers. While 1.0 was fun and relatively safe, 2.0 proved to be more interesting- drunks, tipsy ladies, spit drinks and water fights. Hopefully everyone got back safely.
As the time drew near for others to leave, Hans could not have expected the deadly turn of events that would rock his life. From being a Rich Boy to Poor Boy, Poor Boy to Play Boy and Play Boy to Lonely Boy, it seems his life is one vicious cycle controlled from the egregious Lady Luck, and he was now back to Poor Boy. Further financial strains have rocked his leaking boat, one so severe that his future now lies in tatters, undetermined, oppressed by the untangible opponent vehement on seeing his life battered at every available opportunity.
What does the future hold for these students? Will Sanya and Dash hold out and get together? Will John and Hans put aside their triffling squabbles for the sake of their friendship, or let them ruin it? Has the late nights got Sue hooked for more? With holidays in season, time will tell if she lets loose. What about Jay and Angie? Will they spend all their time at home? Or attempt to spice up their holidays? As for Hans, it seems he'll be leaving one world for another, one where his past becomes his present. Will the sparks between him and Erin Faroe July reignite? One thing is certain- Hans may be leaving for his old world, but the dark secret he's carrying, probably the darkest ever, one that will threaten his social existence if ever exposed or discovered, will travel along with him. He should hold it tightly, and pray Lady Luck never discovers it.
1 semester, 5 months, 136 days, hook-ups, break-ups, fights, lies and secrets..... What happens next...

The Final Destination (Part 1)
For most, the moment had arrived- The end of Finals, that one single moment where brains cease to function logically, the craving to inundate one's day with crazy activities, to paint the town red. Every vestige of emotion replete with euphoria, with all the time to party, club and enjoy, without studies being a priority. But yet, even with joy in the air and stress obliterated from everyone's vocabulary, Hans Basil and John Bow managed to pick a fight. How bromantic and completely incomprehensible.
The minute Miss Pat Riba announced that all students could vacate the Multi-Purpose Hall, silent cheer erupted from everyone's hearts. Despite the Economics paper being relatively tough, no one seemed to let it affect them. Why should they, with it being over. There was no point crying over spilt milk, or in this case, spilt ink. As such, everyone's heads were furiously planning the day's activity. Included in the list was Hans, who had plans made few days back with John to spend the cash and have a bash. But is seems Hans had still not learnt that no plans he makes are ever gonna make the cut. The only thing that would, apparently, was his dark side.
Angie Flo's entourage, which consisted of Sanya Dival, Shayne, Aron and several others, had planned for lunch before hitting town. While Sue Anne joined them, Hans declined, citing lame excuses. As for John, he didn't accept, nor did he he decline. He wasn't even invited.And so the activity of the day on Hans' and John's itinerary? Slacking in the hostel. Irrefutably banal. But John changed that, not for himself, but for Hans, stepping on more than the latter's toes in the process. And therein lied the cause of the fight.
And so Hans now had plans with Sanya, Shayne and Aron to play pool. Not before Hans had to deflect rumours, yet again, about his relationship status with Sue. This time, the rumours were more substantial. Where there is smoke there is fire, but for the millionth time, Hans denied it. Unknown to him though, Sue herself confirmed it. Not just a rumour anymore? Things certainly seem to be heading sinuously as the end approaches.
As Sue immersed herself with Angie's posse sans Angie herself, Hans immersed himself with one of his oldest and closest friends-alcohol. Along with Sanya, Shayne and Aron, Hans downed a bottle, ancient feelings of the past awaken and invigorated. While Hans saw first hand how easily Sanya could get intoxicated, there was no lecture from his side this time round, probably 'cos he was in the same game as well. Pot calling the kettle black? While Hans had gotten in touch with his unpleasant side recently, the supposed transition failed to materialise. With alcohol in hand, it seems Hans was turning, not into Dark Boy, but Drunk Boy.
Sanya, drunk, and Hans, still stable, paid an unwanted visit to Sunway Pyramid for lunch, where they were spotted holding hands and behaving just like old times, albeit more tipsy. While it was probably due to the intoxication, they say a drunk never lies. And the invectives that flowed from Sanya's mouth pertaining to a subject close to Hans were slurry, but meant nontheless. Now that Sanya had let out her thoughts to Hans, it caused a slight chain reaction, with Hans set on unleashing his Dark Side, but aimed only at one particular victim. The earlier fight had lit the fire; Sanya's perspective had fanned the flames.
Night, where all activities take place, and the non-happening ones take a back seat. One particular activity was the bacchanal in Shayne's room, where vodka and cards took centrestage, though only for a while as the alcohol got consumed faster than expected. It is known that once the drinks finish, so does the fun. More plans were then made to bring the fun outside. Hopefully there were no empty stomachs.
And while it certainly was dark outside, it was even darker in Hans' room, where he displayed the surface of his darkness to John. Round One when to Hans, but that was only because John was caught offguard.
Sanya, Angie and Jay Dic home and restricted, Nick, one of the unfortunate students still in the clutches of exams, and John, uninvited to any event, all enslaved in their individual world of solitude and solace where the defeaning roar of silence could drive anyone crazy. Outside, in the dying world, Hans, Sue and their new-found pals partied till sunlight broke the night sky, bringing light into the dark world.

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.
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.

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.

The Hyperbole
It would be a severe understatement to say that Hans Basil had been on a run of misfortune of late. His life was a dartboard, with every inch of the surface emblazoned with the words 'bad luck'. And who better to be the dart thrower than the cynical Lady Luck herself. And on the morning of the much-abhorred Accounts exam, Hans' bad luck culminated with the non-assignment of his seating desk. Well, it seems his past problem of being blacklisted and subsequent barring from exams may not have been completely cleared after all. Thankfully, he didn't press the panic button, and let nous prevail.
Irony was the word of the morning, with the Accounts paper being surprisingly less tough than what was expected. Hans had time to triple check his answers, Sue Anne could not forget Econs and learnt she could not apply Economic concepts in Accounts and John Bow felt the paper was relatively easier than past tests he had sat for. Irony. Save for Jay Dic, who was starting to transform into a more cloying version of himself. As if the bold remark the day before was not conceited enough, he went one step further by proclaiming the Accounts paper was easy. Everyone knows Jay prides himself on being the Account savant, but surely he remembered being beaten on several occasions. Hopefully history won't repeat itself, or there'll be more than just sweat on his face.
Hans, Sue and Angie Flo had made plans the night before to have a mini celebration after the Accounts paper to ease some steam and enjoy the welcomed 5-day break until the next paper. John planned to catch up with his sister while Sanya Dival's itinerary stated "Bad Girl Go Good" with 'stay out of trouble' in fine print below. As for Jay Dic, his was as interesting as going to college daily- the banal trip back home. No extraordinary outing on his list. Then again, what was extraordinary for him was the norm for the civilised society.
Hans' small outing soon overblew into a massive preponderance vacation to Sunway Pyramid, as Angie's other friends invited him and Sue to watch a movie with them, which they duly obliged. Things were moving pretty smoothly, but with Hans Basil, it's a tacit fact that no good thing lasts even for one day. Somehow, he failed to realise that Sanya's itinerary stated "Sunway Pyramid" as well, and as fate intervened, the two were strung together.
Ever since Sanya's propensity to pernicious acts, Hans had been trying to distance himself from her. He had felt confused not only at her behavioural change but at his too, a direct result of hers. One moment he was yearning for her, the next he could not stand her. Needless to say, his current one was that of mild irritation, as he could no longer figure out how to be that friend she so desperately needed. While Angie struggled putting in effort to save Sanya and their friendship, Hans had given up hope. And he impetuously let his feelings known. A little prudence would have been better, for it would have saved the resulting argument that occured later that night.
Hans and John enjoyed a rare night of bonding after the latter returned with his own bonding with his sister. Their bonding was done via pool, one activity both enjoyed more than almost anything. Well, as previously stated, nothing good lasts very long in Hans' life, as he soon recieved accusatory messages from Sanya amidst the pool game. It seemed Hans' life was doomed, a one way street straight to destruction with one unpalatable impasse after another.
Sanya was trying her hardest to change, and she needed her friends around her. Sadly for her, her best friend was on the verge of giving up while her ex had revoked his offer of support. To top it off, he did not remain a neutral figure in her life, but one who displayed indifference. These probably caused her to launch her angry messages that interrupted Hans' bonding session with John, but it was probably worthwhile, as Hans called her after the game of pool to give him a piece of his mind. Ironically, it appeared to help Sanya, as she vowed to get back on track. Whether the track she got on leads to the return of her old self or deeper into the dark remains to be seen.
