Kalah

It was the last game of the season and we lost to Monash Uni.

Oh the humanity.

Plain water never looked so good.

The following events took place on Friday the 21st of August 2009

Just got back from Clayton. Fira told me that there would be an indoor soccer game and asked me to come along.

I didn't have time to get back to Albion St so I just went to a friend's place and grabbed the first pair of track pants that I could eye from his cupboard.

Took a 10 minutes tram ride to the indoor soccer ground. Just when I was about ready to enter the playing field, I noticed that there was a huge rip in my pants.

How I could not realise that I was wearing a ripped pants in the first place, I don't know. The owner of the pants in question has been subjected to 2 minutes of waterboarding for keeping a ripped pants in his cupboard.

In hindsight, it was an awfully windy day so I did not notice any unusual breeze. The tram was a bit packed, so I stood near the door. No wonder that old lady with the walking frame was smiling flirtatiously at me.

This is how I would usually look like with a normal pants


FOR THE WEAK OF HEART, AVERT YOUR GAZE NOW!








Trying to open the image above in a larger resolution is not recommended.

Lucky I was wearing underpants. If not, this might be a matter of national security.

When you've already walked around half of Brunswick with your bum showing for the world to see, slicing your throat with a rusty butter knife does not sound as bad.

Eulogy

The times we had together was great. Thank you.

But I guess this is goodbye. We had to went our separate ways.

It seems that you have managed to find someone new in your life while I am still stuck living in the past.

Story of my life.

I used to hold your hand. Comfort you when you're down. We went through life hand in hand, through ups and downs. When I'm with you, the world seems to stop spinning, time and space revolving around us and no one else.

I can still remember the day when I met you. That tingle; oh how my heart stopped, melted, broken into a thousand pieces and mended again all at the same time.

I will never forget that moment, that cherished moment when you came around and changed my life forever.

But now the times have changed. I need to move on. You found someone new.

That someone new will now hold your hand. Comfort you when you're feeling down. Going through life together. The world will stop spinning for someone else.

How it breaks my heart to think about you and your someone new. I hope that he will treat you with the same kind of respect and care that I have shown you over the years.

I shall miss you dearly.

May your life ahead be filled with joy and wonderment.

Bye bye Winona.

Damn it I hate goodbyes.

"I can do this."

"Nino, the wiring is in place, the circuit looks good. I think I've got everything down pat."

"Hah. Everything down pat, famous last words."

Sure enough. Everything is not down pat. I have to redo the whole thing for the umpteenth time.

What the hell is my thesis topic again?
Can I please change it to "On the grinding of sky high confidence level into the dirt and wallowing in self pity"?

*curse*

Mad. Mongo is mad.

Rugby please?

Please?

Pretty please?

Okay. Fine.

Doing Just Fine

"You're doing great work. Well done. The time for grief will come later. As all honours student do."

Rant [verb] - to talk in a wild and vehement manner

Commuting everyday to Clayton from Brunswick is hard work. The situation is not made any better by Connex, the public train operator.

And it worsens into a shithouse type of situation as you hope that any day soon that they will finally bank in your allowance that is due for nearly 3 months now.

Congratulations on another job well done.

Because I could no longer afford to buy a ticket to get to and fro, I have resolved to hole up in my office and only get back home on weekends until my allowance is banked in.

I have expected that this would happen so I've made savings for rainy days like these. But when it rains for nearly 3 months, you can only eat dust and live on hope waiting for the sun to come out again. Butter spread so thin, there is no butter anymore.


Hoping for better days.
