THE FUCKING EXAMS ARE FINALLY OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
alright. shall stop all that nonsense. heh heh.
monday i had analog communications systems test. was easy, but i kinda screwed it up.
tuesday had math. fuck. was tough.
wednesday had circuit analysis. was okay okay, at least i knew how to do all questions.
thursday had mechanics. screwed that up too, but i think i'll pass. had OOP test too, HAHA omg that is the suckiest test of all. we were given 1 hour to do, and our man tyy did that in like 15-20mins!! he wanted to leave after that but the teacher said we could only leave after 30mins LOL!!
NEVER EVER LET YOUR KID TAKE COMPUTER PROGRAMMING.
friday, the last day, we had aeronautical engineering science test. i find it alright, but my classmates think they flunk it throughout.
YAY!! KAU WAN LO!!!!!!
so on friday, after the test we head out to orchard.
mini and jason's test starts at 3.30pm -_- whereas ours 830am.
there tyy, salty, ek, lionel, xiang. and me of course. but tyy had something on so he left.
ek had his Kbox itch, so wat the hell, i've never K-ed for some time, haha. we went to cinelesiure.
OMG i found that i can actually scream the high pitch verse for the song One Night In Beijing by Shin! LOL!! i surprised everyone including myself. next time go K i must dedicate that song!!!! =D
after that lionel had to wait for mini to finish his test at 5 so he can take the Need For Speed Carbon cd from him. actually its mine, but i lend it to mini. lol.
so we decided to slack around orchard. walk walk around. xiang left to meet his frens.
then lionel told me that Zara sells those band tees. i find it curious why a quite high-end boutique sells band tees, so i wanna check it out.
They have Guns and Roses, The Who, Sex Pistols and Led Zepplin tees. OMG THAT LED ZEPPLIN TEE IS AWESOME MAN. DAMN NICE.
whooping $59.90.
then we just slacked around till 5.
lionel got his cd and happily went home. LOL.
then mini meeting jeremy heng they all at around 730 at marina square, so that leaves me, salty, and ek.
ek ta ma de, pang seh us!!!!!! *crushes a piece of WATERMELON
so me and kiam teh khor nothing to do, decided to keep our BALLBEARINGS company.
went in hopes of playing LAN at marina square for an hour or so, but....
THE BLOODY #^$#&&^%* SHOP WAS CLOSED! KAH NEE NAH.
what to do. zzz. went back to our sec sch days--> ARCADE.
LMAO!
we were attracted to this new gaming machine that puts us in the seat of a fighter pilot. the seat moves!!! *does shocked expression.
anyway we slacked around the whole mall.
HOW PATHETIC! WE SLACKED AROUND SHOPPING MALLS TWICE!
=P
nevertheless some clothes manage to catch my eyes. i fell asleep on the train dreaming about them.
( 5:54 PM )
( 11:05 PM )
( 12:46 PM )
"Hey brother. It's time to eat!"
"huh?" i was still feeling a little groggy.
"Gyun-woo brother! Mummy ask you to wake up and eat! Hurry up!"
"Alright, i know....." i began to drift off to sleep again.
My cousin was asking me to wake up for breakfast, or rather, lunch. I reached my aunt's house late last night, no wait, very early this morning. Hence i did not greet her, as i drop dead sleeping as soon as i reached her house.
When I finally woke up and drag myself to the table, Granny was already sitting there.
"Gyun-woo, you reached here last night?"
"Oh... err, i reached here late last night. You would have slept by then, right Granny?"
"The cheek of you to say that. You came in the wee hours!"
"Aunt, knock it off."
"My my, you were sleeping like a dead person!"
"........"
So we spend the time like this, eating and talking, and i got to greet my Granny and Aunt.
After eating my overdue breakfast, my cousin came looking for me with a piece of draft paper and pen.
Even though this kiddo was in High School, Third Grade, he was very smart. In the past he used to be short and skinny, yet now he is taller than me already, with a little fats here and there. His voice, too, began to break down and sound more mature.
"Gyun-woo brother."
"What?"
"Take a look at this."
"Huh? This?"
"Yup, this. Teach me how to do that problem."
"Its mathematics! Which one!"
OH NO! I sense something bad coming.
"What is it?"
"Oh, err, well, its erm......"
"What is it? Tell me, quick Gyun-woo brother!"
"Ahhhsshh... damn it!"
"Why?"
"Isn't this supposed to be a university mathematics question? What's a third grade student like you got to do with it? Damn it! Ahhssssh!"
"My friend asked me to calculate, that's why i wrote it down."
"Damn it. Stop fooling with all these nonsense. Get some serious mathematics questions of your level and get on with it."
Man, damn it! Seriously, i doubt he is a third grade. damn!
But then again, that question would be easy if I had studied more and be more hardworking.
*shakes head in disbelief.
Yes!! What.... that's the truth!
I didn't know what to do, that's why i said that. I never really paid much attention to mathematics, hence that could be why i never really learn much. heh heh. woohoo!
But. I can't possibly say that to my cousin right?
Aunt served us some coffee. After a gulping one mouthful, my handphone suddenly rang.
"Hello?"
"YA, who're you? Scumbag!"
"Erm, who's this?"
"I'm now at the motel! I saw your note called your number. You better get your butt here at once!"
"HEY-"
AHHHSHHHIT i almost forgot! The girl last night! -_- damn it! SHE! She's one plucky girl man.
Get herself drunk. Dead drunk. Woke up to find herself in a motel room, and beside her lay a piece of memo and God knows who left that memo. And she bravely called up the person who left that. Have you ever met a girl like her? Man!
Obviously, she asked the motel operator. and she knows the other person is a guy.......
"Alright. So be it."
This is the first time i met this kind of girl. Boy carries her into the hotel. Girl saw boy's memo. Girl woke up and called up the number immediately.
She's really one plucky girl.
Clearly, she doesn't recall anything from last night.
Well, i guess i'll have to rush back to that motel. it'll be around 11 when i reach there. and she's waiting there already.
As i saw her from a distance, i noticed that she was getting listless ^^. she's still wearing that same blouse from last night. But it looks like she washed it before wearing it and she put on some make-up! From afar, she gives me the impression of a pretty lady with her long, silky black hair flapping gently with the wind blowing.
But why? She is scary........ . Even talking to her i'm scared. She obviously has forgotten what happened last night. But what if she pushes the blame to me?
"YA bastard!"
"..........."
"You're going to prison!!!"
OH NO!! i'm dead for sure.
How am i going to survive? she even knows the telephone number.. and it looks like its a tough problem.
"Erm, excuse me.. hmm.. well.. that.."
"It's you?"
*silence
"HUH!!"
This lass here actually talked back to me! How disrespectful! (in koreans the young must speak politely to their elders; its a custom.)
"Ahh, no, i mean.. the way you speak to me-"
"gosh, i'm bloody hungry! my stomach feels empty and funny. come, let's go grab some dinner."
"HUH......?!! What is it now you want to eat?!"
I guess this time i can't escape and run off now.
Silly, ain't it?
Damn it! How can she treat me like that?! NO WAY! No no no! huh!
So we went to a small shop to eat. As it was dinner time, it was very crowded with many people coming in, eating, and leaving. Many people were drinking and eating, including an uncle who was drunk and yelling away.
"Excuse me, can you give us 2 sausage soups?"
"HUH....! What?"
She actually ordered the food herself, without even asking me! i'm so seeing red!
This lass!
After a short wait, the hot piping sausage soups was served to us. As i had something to eat not long ago, i didn't really want to eat. But, but watching her eat, makes me wanna eat too!
Watching her eat and drink the hot, piping sausage soup makes me wanna order a set for myself.
"hmmm mmm, this is really delicious!"
This old eatery is quite old too. Its interior is very messy, but its food is definitely delicious. the radish that came with the soup was fantastic! Although i was quite full, however i had some appetite for the soup.
When i finished about half of the bowl, she had already finished hers.
"Man, what were you doing? Eat so slow! Come on, give me that!"
With that, she grabbed my bowl of soup.
"Eh hey hey....!!" -_-
I was left with some hot soup in my spoon.
What the hell is with her! I'm so so so angry that i could shout at her!!!
"Enjoy your meal.........!" ^^ i watched her eat in a daze, watched her pick the radish with her chopsticks and put them into her mouth, chewing them...
She finished my bowl of soup in no time.
"Get the bill, and let's go."
-___- last night i had drinks with my friends, and after paying for the motel fees and taxi fees, i barely have enough. luckily, aunt gave me some cash, so i settled the bill and left the eatery.
"Over here! Follow me."
"............................"
Who do you think you are! Just because you're pretty, you can do that? Its too much!"
"Okay......" ^^ she seems familiar with this area. i reluctanly follow her, and i muttered to myself along the way.
"Should i sneak off?"
"Will she beat the hell out of me?"
"No, she can't possibly outrun me. Right?"
"Hmmm maybe i should wait for a little more while."
"She's not walking to the police station, is she?"
"No, it doesn't look like it. If that's the case, she would have gone there in the first place."
"She's not gonna get me into any trouble, right?"
CALM DOWN......!!
Eventually she dragged me into a small cafe at the side of Bupyung station. in it, they played an unknown english song, but i've listened to it before a couple of times. some quite uncomfortable tables and chairs. in a corner, there's a bookshelf stuffed with magazines.
Because everything is packed just nice, and although the place is a tad small, i could feel the effort the shopkeeper put in to do up the cafe.
Here, there are bespectacled female students working part time, some males, alone, smoking, and even a couple who are hugging tightly to each other. We sat beside the window, and a working student passed us the menu and 2 glasses of water.
"Can we have 2 cups of coffee?"
AHHHHHSHHHHHIT! She's making the decisions and calling the shots again! Worse still, she said to me "You settle the bill, alright?" ..... this lady here is real scary and good. I wonder if she faked to be drunk, puked all over an uncle, and then wait for some guy to help her, and in turn she tried to rip him off his money.
I thought.
She spoke first.
"Man, how did it happened?"
"What.. ?"
"I meant yesterday."
"You don't remember a thing?"
"No.. its only.... ermm...."
To her yesterday feels like a video clip being cut up into pieces, and she can only remember very very little of it. she doesn't remember me, but she vaguely recall that i tried to help her.
And, she also remembered that before she got wasted she called me HONEY. as i talked about how i carried her on my back from Bupyung station to the motel, her eyes lit up, as if she recalled something.
HA! Now, its time to return the favour eh?
Damn it! Anyway i'm trying my best to make her recall everything.
As she sat sliently, listening to me talking, her emotions were suddenly stirred. her eyes were filled with sorrow and sadness.....
"Actually.... i broke up with my boyfriend yesterday."
*silence. tears gradually filled up her eyes.
suddenly she broke out crying. *loud crying.
AHHH NO!
Everyone in the cafe turned and glared at us, no, me. The uncle sitting alone at the other corner looked at us as if something interesting is happening. Even the couple stopped their sweet-nothings and looked at us.
Whatever it is, whenever i'm with her, somehow i'm the centre of attraction. With everyone staring at us curiously, time passes slowly, while she cried for sometime.
Looking at a girl cry, somehow, somwhat my heart feels a little painful. She's just sitting in front of me, so i can observe her more clearly. in fact, she's exluding more charm with the closer view.
With her long black flowing hair, her fair smooth skin complements with her silky hair. Her hands, covering her eyes, look so cute and small. her heaving shoulders from crying looks so fragile.
Why would a girl do all these actions? I figured that i must study some of these stuffs.
"Well.. ermm.. please don't cry."
*wails even louder. *sobs..
Controlling her crying, she began to settle down.
The May afternoon sun was neither too hot nor too cool, making us feeling comfortable. Now its time to part with her. But deep down in my heart, i feel i can't bear to part with her. And so, i sent her to the same train station again.
Not long ago, i was walking behind her, yet now we're walking together again.
We reached the place. She only said one sentence to me:
"Hey! Give me the taxi fare!"
........ i helped her flag a taxi, and gave her some money.
Am I too kind-hearted?
Nah.. no! in fact, its too scary! damn it!
her character is does not resemble her appearance. if i didn't give her the taxi fare God knows what might happen.
So, as she got onto the taxi she said:
"Bye, i'll call you again at night."
I watched the taxi pull off into the darkness of the night.
PART 2
After sending her off, i board the train heading for Seoul.Yesterday, today, seemed like only a few hours, maybe 10,12 hours, yet it seemed like i had a long long dream.
I felt more comfortable now, yet at the same time i feel a little empty elsewhere. The train i sat with her last night, of course, it won't be the same train i'm sitting in it now, but everything in the train seems the same to me.
I saw that pole, by the seat again. The pole she leaned on.
hahah! *sniggers ^____^ everytime i board the train i would only think of that pole, cuz when i'm tired i can lean on it. now whenever i saw that i would chuckle to myself.
I moved closer to the pole, leaned against it, and wrapped my arms around it. with that, i stared at the space in front of me in a daze. suddenly i had an urge to do the same thing she did, so i turned around, and leaned against the pole on my stomach.
*sound of the train moving.
"hey hey, this is interesting!" ^^ last night a bald uncle sat here. today, an auntie sat here! and so, i leaned on the pole, listening to the train moving.
*sound of the train moving.
The auntie felt strange, so she tilted her head up suddenly.
I almost kissed the auntie. ^^
"Hey kid, what are you doing?"
"Nothing, auntie. Hahahhaah!"
As i snapped back to reality, i realised everyone in the cabin was looking at me. .............. -_-
So i walked listlessly to the other cabin. In my mind, her voice sounded again: "Bye, i'll call you tonight."
"No way.. she's really going to call me?"
"Hmm, she must be feeling bad, that's why."
"But..."
...............................
..........................
.....................
...............
..........
......
"Hi mom, i'm back."
"Hmm have you visit and greet your granny and aunt? did they give you your pocket money?"
"This is my money" -_- -_-
"Its five already, why did you return home so late! They said you returned home without having dinner."
"I bumped into some friends, so i had my dinner with them. Anyway mom, i'm tired, let me take a nap first."
.............
In a flash, i returned to the train cabin. The professor from my university was there, my neighbour, the uncle with a round belly, was there too; even my army buddies and my schoolmates were there.
But this bunch of guys pretended not to know me! i tried to speak to them, but they ignore me.
"AHHSHIIT what the hell! HEY its me!! ME! meeee----!"
*DO DOOO DO DOOOOOOO
Somewhere in the distance, i heard the ring of a handphone. At first, it sounded far, but gradually it became louder and louder and LOUDER.... OUCH its really hurting my ears man. I woke up from my dream. The handphone kept ringing, as if asking me to quickly pick it up.
"Hello?"
"Me, its me."
OH its her! Hmmm. Yes its her. I guess it wasn't out of courtesy that she said she wanted to call me tonight.
But why would she like me....? ^^
"COME TO BUPYUNG STATION NOW!"
"now??"
"YES now! Come to the cafe we visited this morning."
"But... but tomorrow! Tomorrow i have lessons man! The time.. early in the morning!"
*DOOOOOP....................... with that, she hung up.
AHHHHH!! AHHHSHITT! what the hell! who in the world called you up, speak to you, and hung up after saying without even listening to the other speaker!!!!! Damn it!
I have school tomorrow, and now its 6 in the evening! It'll be 8 when i reached Bupyung.......
AHHHHSHIT.... ahhh! its late now, and i have to go there??!
Its Bupyung. i think i'd better go ^^ .
So when i reached there, i went in, but the female students working part time there were gone. They probably worked the morning and afternoon shift.
Phew. If they were still here, i wonder where should i hide my face.. It was so embarrasing in the back then.....
"HEY! over here! why are you standing there for?"
"Oh."
The waiter came and served us some drinks. As she sat in front of me....
WOAH. WHAT!
This girl. This lady. She wasn't the one in the morning!
I'm pretty amazed and surprised at how a lady can change her appearance. With just a change of clothes, some make-up, she totally looked different.
So.. "Been waiting long?"
"Nah. i just reached."
"............."
"Thanks for yesterday and this morning."
"Oh.. it was nothing."
"............."
I feel a bit awkward, as we didn't know what to say. I've already seen her when she's dead drunk. She stared at her cup of coffee, while my gaze was directed to the window.
So i asked "Erm, do you live around here?"
"yeah. not too far away."
"Really? well then its just nice that wew alighted at Bupyung station."
"Yesterday? Hmmmm... Oh haha. sorry to trouble you, i didn't bring my money out yesterday." "Let's go, i'll treat you to some drinks."
So we went for a drink.
Hmm.. A drink? i was quite worried. What is she got drunk and wasted again?!
Its easy to get drunk especially when you have relationship problems. Even a few gulps might make you drunk......
She brought me to a 2-storey small bar. In it, there were only 2 couples, drinking and minding their own business. She passed me the menu and let me order.
AHHHHH! i almost cried out loud.
I thought that i could order myself. But....
"Give us a bottle of wine. One set of kimchi too."
The couple opposite us suddenly blurted out laughing. They looked 20-odd years old to me.
Soon our food came. She poured a glass to me, then to herself. (Usually Koreans pour for their friends or elders wine to drink first before pouring for themselves)
Immediately, we Cheers each other and drink up.
She drank a lot and did not say anything. i began to worry.
Suddenly, she.. *BANG. Her head landed on the table with a loud BANG. @_@
"What the..! WHAT! That's it? Just half a bottle, and she's down?!"
AHHHHHHSHIIIIT! MAN!!
"Then she must have drank half a bottle yesterday.... So...." This is ridiculous man. What to do now! Seems like i have not much of a choice. I gulped down the remaining wine.
"Let's go-"
"Huh- oh.... huh....." Man, she totally changed when she got drunk.
Why the hell did i come here in the first place!!
Damn it! I began to blame myself. .... Alright i'm not paying this time!
Right? I'm right, right?!!!
I can't be here just because i wanted to drink??!!!
I took her purse, and took some of her money and paid the cashier. hahhaha... that's of course!!!
i saw her ID too. Well, that's because i wanted to know her name... BUT...!!!
760416-2xxxxxxxx.
"WHAT! HUH... 7....7...76!!!!!!" O_O i really got a shock.
ME! MEE.... ME! i'm a 75! I was born in 1975!!
But.. she should at least speak to me politely! After all, i'm her elder man!!
I was so so angry.
Was it because i look young, or was it her nature? But now its not the time for thisl she's dead drunk in front of me, and how could i just sit here like a stone?
I'm left with no choice.
So, once again, i carried her on my back for the second time, and i hope she won't puke like last night again. PLEASE! NO! not now! Hold on!
PART 3
2 people went into a bar. Within 20mins, they left with the girl on the guy's back.
AHHHHHSSSH.. the girl behind the bar seems to be muttering something behind our backs.
".. Hmm.. medicine..... she must have taken something....."
-_- !!!! WHAT! MEDICATION!
Luckily the people around us seemed to have ignore us. I quickly leave the bar. Hmm. i wonder what should i do next. i absolutely have no idea at all.
What should i do?
I only have came across this situation once... hmm.. so be it.
Alright, i've reached! the same motel yesterday... That auntie last night would be warmly welcoming us, i thought.
"AHH.. These kids.. HEY, you again!"
"Ohh.. erm, Hello auntie!"
"Looks like your girlfriend is wasted again. WAHAHAHAH!"
"....."
"Well, come on in then."
PHEWWW. Auntie today seemed to have let us the room without asking us too much questions.
We followed her to our room, and i laid her on the bed. Auntie saw me turning around to look at her, and she said "Hold on, i'll get you some medicine for the alcohol."
That old auntie. Last night she said no medicine or whatsoever, yet today she actually ran to the pharmacy and buy for me. anyway after filling up the form, with her money as payment, of course ^^ i thought "use her money, i'm not going to be another fool!", i observed her lying on the bed, and looked at her face.
"She must have something to do with me in her past life."
*doorbell rings.
"Oh, please come in!"
"Hey kid, here's the medicine."
"Thank you, auntie."
"But kid, are you going to leave today? Like that?"
"Huh, what?"
"No, i mean.. haha.. "
"........."
I opened the bottle of medicine, and proceed to lift her up to feed her.
AHHHHHSHHHHIT!
Her mouth is shut so tightly. i had to force open her mouth to feed her. her fingers and face are so smooth and gentle.
Finally i got some of the medicine into her mouth.
My heart was thumping away, and my fingers began to sweat. the medicine got into her nose, and came down on her cheeks, and onto the chin.
I didn't care muchl i just wanted to feed her the medicine and after that i cleaned her face, and my sweaty palms.
She just laid there, as she is, and i sat beside her on the floor. As i looked at her, i felt a little nervous, and my heart began to beat fast and i couldn't relax.
I looked her at red lips, her rosy cheeks, her fair neck, and her........
*coughs.
i immediately got up and ran to the dressing mirror. i could see my cheeks turning red too, and i thought aloud "i must crazy!" -_- and in the mirror i could see her reflection.
i had unknowingly developed a soft spot for her. it wasn't supposed to be like that. i guess her break-up was really a big blow for her. she probably wanted to drown her sorrows by drinking. i could see that she drank quite a lot, given her wasted state.
i felt she was quite poor, and my heart hurts a little.
tomorrow is monday, and i have lessons. but now it seems impossible that i leave her in this motel room. OH WELL i guess i'd just have to sleep with her.
HEY! i mean, i shall sleep beside her.
"hmm, i shall try to help her ease her pain."
....................................................
*snores
its very uncomfortable, so after dozing off i woke up again. with my half-closed eyes i was able to make out some sunlight. i realised it was already daytime.
"YAWNS.. ahh... where is this? OUCH... my waist..."
i managed to stay awake, but i doze off a little by the bed. my waist hurts a little when i woke up. she was still sleeping.
so i went to the toilet to wash my face, rinse my mouth, and when i came out she was already up and sitting by the bed.
she looked at me and smiled sheepishly. i was prompted to smile back at her in the same manner hehehe... ^^ and then it dawned on me.. HER ID!!!
looking at her face, i suddenly remembered peeping at her ID. so i said cautiously: " erm.. well.. haha you know.. hmm. well how old do you think i look like?"
damn it, i was stammering all along.
She glared at me.
AHHHSHH! -_- "YOU? hmm.. but why? is it important?"
"YA! you're born in 1976! that makes me your elder! elder! wanna get your butt whiped? damn it!"
AHHH... =D how wonderful if i could say that?
but it became : "Well... i was saying... if.. well you looked like you're born in 1976.. and i'm older than you by a year.. so.. the way you speak to me.."
"Oh really? how old are you? never mind then, you needn't speak politely to me too."
".............................." OH YEAH. right! then i needn't speak so nice to her! though i feel like i've been cheated, but then its better than having beaten up by her!
She went to wash her face and packed her stuffs. and when the sunny sun rays hit us, we left the motel together.
Our fate is very very strange. we knew each other for less than 3 days, yet we have checked into a motel twice.
Today, i found out where she studied, where she lived, and her age, name, and telephone number.
"i've got to go for school."
"really?"
"uh-huh. don't you have any?"
"i don't feel like going today."
"hahaha! only today?"
"be careful and take care! i'll see you next time!"
"bye!"
So, that's how we knew each other.
But now i'm going back to my life, and she has her own stuffs to do too. But we exchanged telephone numbers, so we'll be able to see each other when we want too, right?
