Having early dinner after the Last Debate at the Blue Dragon was quite fine but the atmosphere was quite solemn. The tables were surrounded by four yellow curtains. The dim lamp contributed to the darkness of the environment. We had to use our mobile phone's lights to look at what is in the menu. Upon finishing dinner, we left for home... We planned to sing K at Neway Cheras Plaza... We planned to meet there at 12p.m...
That night... of all places, I followed UVTSS (Sing Shia) to Liquid with her friends: Irene and Priscilla. They were quite nice people to talk to. Upon reaching Liquid, I once again saw this familiar place. I went in, and... bored... I do not like these places. Well, I had a hell bored time there. People there are nice to look at, but they do not interest me there... Even though wtih a group of ten people, I would feel bored also as some people were not there. Time passed like a snail, seconds seems to pass like minutes, minutes passed like hours, and the hour passed like days... how glad was I that in the end they decided to leave. A sudden gladness came to my eyes and my heart warmed up. Upon leaving that place which many people call fun, exciting, nice, happening, etc., I became active again. I have been quite all the while in Liquid, but upon leaving, my mouth started to open, and words started pouring out...
The next day, I woke up at 9 a.m. and I returned to the School of Pharmacy, not as a student. I left UVTSS to sleep like a pig. This time round, I went to see Ms. Wong and Ms. Saw first. They seemed to be happy to see me happy, not like the day before when I was really, erm, down. We chatted happily there and I asked about the possible courses that could actually interest me. I asked about courses like Biochemistry, Biomedical Science, and Biotechnology. Then I went to see Dr. Thet. Ms. Lyna and Ms. Priya were there. Same thing, I asked about the courses and their opinion on them. Suddenly Mr. Naidu came in and spoke about Diploma in Pharmacy. I have actually asked Ms. Saw about that and she advised me not to do diploma, and in her opinion, it is better to do degree. Upon hearing Mr. Naidu mentioning about Diploma in Pharmacy, Dr. Thet said: 'And then? Ask him to work as an assistant in the pharmacy under someone?'
It was already 12p.m. and I thought it was only 11:15 a.m.. My god... my watch stopped ticking! Jay Chow (Soon Yee) called me, and I rushed there. On my journey there, I called UVTSS. She did not pick up my phone !@#$%^&*())(*&^%$#@! I called her the second time and she picked up. I listened to her voice and I knew, she just woke up. Newaying there was not as enjoyable as it used to be. Maybe because I had gone there too many times? Maybe I don't have the mood? Maybe the thought of separating haunts me? After Newaying, I went back to college to continue talking to Dr. Thet while waiting for my one and only roommate, David Ha Dung Bing. After finished talking to Dr. Thet, she gave me a small box of chocholates, erm, something Roche... dunno how to spell laa... She said share it with my friends, but... hehehe...
I walked with David and Shi Yi back to their house nearby and talked to him about his life. He was robbed the night before, along the road near his house. He told me his story that the night before, at around 11 p.m., he went down to PM (Pasar Malam) to buy supper. On his way home, suddenly, 2 men dismounted from their motorcycle and . They then advanced towards him and took out a long knife. One of them stepped on his feet so he could not escape and the long knife was pointed at his neck. They asked for money and David gave them RM5 since that is only what he really had. The robbers did not believe and one of them raised the knife and started to swipe at David's right arm. Shi Yi screamed and her scream alerted the neighbourhood. The robbers, startled by her scream and the neighbourhood's alertness, fled. Quickly, David and Shi Yi went back home. According to David, there were only scratches on his arm, no open wound... thank God~ God bless them...
After learning the story, I heard someone playing the violin in their house. It was their housemate, playing a piece very familiar to my ears. It had been a while since I last played the violin. I asked Shi Yi's permission to lend me hers to play and she agreed. Happily, the first piece I played was Kiss Goodbye as that was the latest I've learnt. I really enjoyed playing it using hers as the sound quality was really... erm, good! After finishing the song, I stopped to rest. Her housemate challenged me by playing Kiss Goodbye also, though not a good one, and I thought, maybe I should try retaliate as her level wasn't very high, as from what I heard. So I played Pachelbel's Canon in D Major, David's favourite. She played back the same thing but not as good either. Feeling challenged, I decided to give a full blast of my best song: Dong Feng Po... After finishing, there was no sound anymore. She admit defeat. Who dares challenge Huang Yao Shi and his skill in music? Hahahahahaha! :x
Then, after dueling in David's house, I bode farewell to Shi Yi and David. I walked home from Connaught to Yulek (actually Sri Bahtera). It was a one-hour walk and though tired, I had no choice. My pocket is running dry. I do not have much money. Then, the next day, is the day I feared most, the day I have to return to the North... Penang... Home... This is one of the few times I came home not with gladness or happiness but with fear...
