The Gin War

Yay~

new story!

Well ok, actually it's a damn short one but I've not written since Boston last year, Singing in the Sky, so... it's nice to write another one again.. I suppose.

Was inspired by Robbie's email, kevin, a few other things these days... and a few songs... No, not really The Gin War. That was just the title of Robbie's email or was it my email to him? hmm... But anyway, it was just inspired by the feel and the flow of a few songs while i was driving to college today... I forgot which songs though. Rescued was one of them. But i guess it's just the feeling I felt today and the words that just came into my head.

I had meant for it to be from a guy's point of view, but I don't think the feelings i wrote about would mirror that of a guy's... And also, by the time i reached college and actually sat down to write the words i had in my head, I had forgotten most of them! haha!

It's not the first time and it won't be the last time.
 
The shit thing though is that I realize my mistakes and I realize my patterns yet, for some reason i just spiral way back into it over and over again.. It's like a current I just can't seem to fight against.

if i could only see you now for about an hour

Why do we always seem,
To want what we can't have?
Lessons learned.
But then I listen to my heart,
And it says still run back for more.

I'm happy for you.
I'm sure that she really loves you.
But it breaks my heart,
To know I can't hold you.

It's just hard to think
I'll never get the chance
To say your mine.

ナイジェル

If I can only look past the delusions towards an objective reality, then i would be free from this enslaving mire of longing for someone I cannot have.

心の中に。。。

No Keith, sometimes you can't really say what you feel so strongly inside your heart... Because truth has power. And truth has consequence. and Truth changes things..
today i miss LA.



I miss recognizing LA.



I miss knowing LA.



I miss the familiarity of it's places and sights and shapes and looks and the feel of it.



It's different when you look at a picture of places you've been to-- there's always a sense of attachment to it-- it's just a different feel, looking at pictures of LA and looking at pictures of Paris where I've only visited once. It just looks and feels different. There's just a feeling of "Yes, I knew this once" and there's always a personal memory or a flashback and a feeling of closeness and familiarity that a picture of Los Angeles evokes.



I miss LA.



and right now, today, I really wish i was back there once again.

Happosai doing what he does best!! Stealing women's bras and underwear!

Dudeeee real life Happosai!!! They DOOOO exist in Japan yo! I suppose, ONLY IN JAPAN! >___<

Today was a good day. Nigel-was-happy-today Day. Yay~~~~ ^_^

Tomorrow is dooms day. Nigel-did-not-give-me-CD-meeting-with-Mrs. Tan Day! Shuckss........................... >___<

Then again if Nigel is lazy to do the work...... Actually, i am damn lazy to work too.

So yeah nothing eventful happen today again. Got home at 3am yesterday taking CW around and kidnapping Lillien for abit haha! We went to A&Ws on the way home at SS2 we were talking about Nigel and then suddenly we passed this wedding/bridal store "LOVE VISION"... wth.............. -_-

Woke up at 9... but got to church at 10:30... i thought service started at 10:30 but NO, it starts at 10... so i was HALF-AN-HOUR-LATE. But i did get the gists of the sermon which was quite a warning.

Then I decided to go to Shangri-la Hotel to get Nigel cake. coz he said the cake i got him before was sucky!!! wth... SO ANYWAYS... yes... I saw an accident happen right in front of me at Lot 10... the car spun out of control and slammed into a parked Taxi.... I was just behind... I just left the scene. It's good coz if i was just 5 second later, i'd have gotten caught in a jam man!

Then got the cake. Stupid cake. 2 pieces costs $30... wth.... Parking for 20 mins costs $8... wth... to hell wid these stupid posh places.

Then went to cw's. His parents weren't in, I wanted lunch, wuahahaha and i promised i'd get him back within an hour. It was 1... i was suppose to meet Nigel at 3. So then we stayed on wuahahaha... So teman la go Nigel's place. En route we drove around to see houses (we've been seeing damn lot of houses lately!) then went to Nigel's. He was in a good mood woo~~!!!!! nice~

So stayed to talk wid nigel for an hour. DUDE HIS SISTER IS CUTE (errr un-nigel?? wuahahahah). hahahhaha ohhhhh Elaines can be so cute huh!! dudee wot abt THIS Elaine???? >___<

So ya lor, talked abt some stuff lor. VISION, all d latest pakto updates wuahahaha, stuff cw and i do, etc. etc.. But he was happi today NORMAL NIGEL MOOD WOO! (as u can see dis is the THIRD time i repeated this, it's for EMPHASIS!) hahaha so it was good haha... Kinda miss having nigel around. Tho of all the MC students I know him the longest but I've seen him the least especially lately. Always insult him when wid cw, but actually dun talk to him much abt anything. So it was kinda realy nice all of us joking around again like back then.

Anyways... it's decided... CW is a petfish in a fish bowl happily swimming oblivious he's in a fish bowl =P. Nigel is in a pond (which he hopes will one day lead to the ocean if he swam downstream (fat chance dude u will never reach there!!! look at my bro!! DAH TIGA TAHUN TAK SAMPAI SAMPAI YO!!!! =P)). And I, worst of all, is in Nigel's frigging CUP. Worse is that he has me by the tail and drags me out of the water from time to time just to toy around with me. wth... how did i end up THERE??? tragic. we're all controlled. But I would SOOOOOOOOO kawtow and sembah the person who can control Nigel Yong WOAH! hahahahah

ALL IS WELL! Not really..........

Well i realized just now that i am a complete totally utter Lecturer-Advisor failure.

I have completely failed to get the Vision work done because I was completely unable to treat Nigel as a student.

meh

>__<

how depressing.

On the other hand. i do so like the happy Borat-ish Nigel WAYYYYYYYYY better than the moody one. Dude... I suppose he's abit like me-- Always crappy and when he's not, he turns scary.

So, yesterday was a good day because Nigel was his old crappy self again-- hoorah. I rather have that-- i suppose.

as for Vision?

dude i dunno.........

Meeting is with Mrs Tan in an hour... and I suppose as i first said to Nigel all those months ago....... "WE ARE THROROUGHLY FUCKED!!!"

yes.

the situation calls for that degree of explicitness.

The grass is not always greener on the other side

"I have tried every since he died to make his sacrifice meaningful," she wrote. "Casey died for a country which cares more about who will be the next American Idol than how many people will be killed in the next few months while Democrats and Republicans play politics with human lives."

"I will try to maintain and nurture some very positive relationships that I have found in the journey that I was forced into when Casey died and try to repair some of the ones that have fallen apart since I began this single-minded crusade to try and change a paradigm that is now, I am afraid, carved in immovable, unbendable and rigidly mendacious marble."

"but eventually, they must push forward because so much awaits them."

16 held such better days/Tomorrow hold such better days.
 
Life is not a multiple choice question.

because there is nothing meaningful in my life at all

absolutely nothing
 
 
Try for once in your life do something about it! But you know what, you better do it now and you better do it fast because the world doesn't owe you any favors. And whether you know it or not you're on the inside track to loserville USA...
 
 
i've probably dissapointed you fuckloads.
 
but truth is that the only reason why i am staying in this job is because of God.
 
hawhaw.
 
but it's true.
 
with all these things about God's ministry and all that and my students being pastors and really, there is a need there for free and willing to be exploited laborers... I'm staying because of that.
 
don't get me wrong. I actually do love this stupid teaching thing.
 
but...
 
i can't help but feel that I'm dying slowly every day.
 
there's that song that michelle likes about putting on a smile and go on fighting and you'll be beautiful and you'll be happy... I don't think that's enough for me anymore... I don't want an eventual happiness. I don't want to have to fucking dig for the gem hidden in droplets of moments of everyday life. fuck that shit, you know. wtf is that? That's like surrendering and accepting the hypnotic flow of life and trying to dig and find the happiness through all that by compromising and being contented with the relative happiness that mundane life offers. That's just shit-- but ain't that how life is? But... it's just shit... It's just that, lately, I don't accept that anymore. I just can't find something to be happy about.... something besides that sunrise that makes me feel "fuck wow! my life is fucking meaningful!"
 
It's not that i have something more or something else to do with myself. If it was character I wanted to test, this stupid job is damn great at that! But it's just the feeling that...
 
That...
 
I have to do something else with my life.
 
maybe not something more than this.
 
but just something else.
 
 
and everyday as i get more and more pissed off with students and pissed off at being pushed around-- the more i am compelled to say fuck it all.
 
But yet.
 
do i dare?
 
 
It's not that I'm comfortable for not having tried.
 
But do i have it in me? To recklessly abandon?
 
Just fuck it all and in September I am going to get me that ticket to Japan, so i can go for my month long concert and travel around while i am at it.... on a shoestring budget if that's possible in fucking JAPAN?
 
 
But as i feel sicker and sicker and sicker everyday for being a beggar to my students, the more I feel that I must leave. The more I feel THAT is what I need to feel powerful again. To feel that I am not a total fucking loser. To feel that, you know what? I define my life the way I want it to and all of you people who can't see me for all that I am and can't like me for all that i am, well then fuck you too. That i want my strength and my own fucking "shine" to be that, you know, to be the one to never seem like I am capable of doing this shit, but to be the one who does it-- when no one else can.
 
Still yet, I can't help but I am still suffering from a shit insecurity that was rooted back when i was 14.
 
I'm still running from the same demons.
 
I'm still as insecure and feeling as unwanted and a total loser. And I feel that the only way to prove to myself and my life that I'm not a fucking loser and to make everyone who has ever fucking think that i was fucking crap look at me and be envious-- is to do all that-- to recklessly abandon and just do what I want with my life, fuck consequence aside. to say that I can and you can't because you are too chicken shit to do anything else with your life than what was prescribed to you.
 
But then... if the reason why i feel i must do all that is to prove them wrong about me, and to make myself feel good about me... then that's crap too. that's not finding strength within you... that's just masking your insecurities behind this fake plastic immaculate wall if things lie to yourself to make you feel better.
 
so what is real strength?
and maybe, i'm just stupid... to recklessly abandon and not think about the consequence on my life and my future.
 

I'm not young anymore, you know. But of course if i said that, Eileen would personally fly to Malaysia from California to kick my ass for saying that. She has herself lived a thousand lifetimes and it was always great to hang around her back then. Because she always made me aware of my youth and made me aware of all the journeys there is in life to take. That you know, at her age, at 80--- really, nothing we do EVEN at 25 makes any "lifelong" changes or consequence-- and that, is a wonderful thought.
 
And part of me wish i would hold on to that. Hold on to this shitty feeling even. That it might brew to an end-- that with this discontent, this insecurity and my need to fucking kill it, I would in the end, be spurred to do something reckless with my life-- hardly reckless eh? hardly perhaps it is then-- but it's something else nevertheless-- and it's something I wouldn't dare to do, something i don't think is wise to do.
 
i wish life was as easy as you live, you learn... If then...
 
 
Make life more meaningful, huh? I don't even know how i want to define that. But i just know that right now, this is not it. I find no meaning. I find no joy. No meaningful joy. No meaningful meaning to daily actions. Nor do i see future consequence to everything I go through everyday.
 
It's like. This won't mean a thing come tomorrow-- and it never does.
 
 
Perhaps I should go. Perhaps I should indeed.
 
I really need to leave and that 1 week vacation to Japan ain't sufficient anymore.
 
You know... I think... i can leave in September.
 
Let's see if I do.
 
haha.
 
but even that, hey, life goes on man, even leaving in september in the end-- baby we all know that it won't mean a thing anymore either one day in the end-
 
but at least for that one moment-- it means something more-- even though it's just something more to just me.
 
I don't know.
 
I want to leave.
 
I really want to leave.
 
I just dont know when, or how, or how long--
 
I just don't know how I can make me feel like "hell yeah, I'm living my life yo!" again.
 
yeah.
 
i don't think this sort of life is meant for me la... Once i don't find joy and i can't find meaning-- I just feel that i must leave... It's just that I can feel myself being TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO consumed over TINY little things that are totally inconsequential

i jsut need to find strength somewhere else... and extract myself from this life-- to remind myself that "dudeeeeeeeeeeee there's way more to life than this. Than MCKL. Than Vision. Than Nigel Yong Ki Shen. Than thinking abt the future." Life is long man.... and we shouldn't be too caught up with things that don't matter at all anymore in a week, in a month, in a semester

i just need to LEAVE, i suppose, to remind myself that again.
 
elaine
-if i could only see you now for about an hour-

i really don't want to do Vision anymore. please please please please please please please Nigel PLEASE JUST GIVE ME THE DAMN CD SO I CAN GET THIS OVER WITH. I don't want to think about 06 work anymore, enough, enough enough. it had been fun now it's just a pain in the ass.
