The Ripped Soul

Yesterday was madness! From morning to night.

Hah. Started off the morning with one strange asswipe. Boarded the bus for school to attend the etiquette class thing. when I sat down, I was playing smackdown vs rawwwww on my PSP until the sun shone in my face; forcing me to move inside or shift my seat elsewhere. I was thinking of sitting on the green seats upfront, but I didn't wanna walk all over the place while the bus was moving. So me, being "complete-smartass" shifted to the seat right at the back behind Mr Stranger. Smart right? I know. DAMN smart.

All this while, this Mr Stranger who sat on the opposite row kept looking at me. In bloody fact, he looked at me as I walked to the back when I boarded the bus, he looked as I played on my PSP AND when I looked back at him, he looked away. When I continued playing my game, he still looked at me. When I sat behind him, I thought he would leave me alone - how wrong. How bloody wrong.

I plugged in my ears and played, not caring about him. Then he turned behind and tapped my shoulder.

me: yes?
him: are you a malay, chinese or a mix?
me: mix. *turned back to game when..*
him: mix what?
me: mala.. erm. eurasian and sikh. [hawhaw. I'm mixed filipino&sikh]
him: oh, i see... because I know someone who looks like you who's mixed malay and chinese. [did I ask, asshole?]
me: right.. *back to game*
him: *offers a pack of Ricola sweets* Want one?
me: no thanks.
him: *offers hand* My name's Shamir/Syamir/whatever.
me: excuse me?

I PANICKED LIKE HELL I TELL YOU! At that time, I didn't know whether I shouldve rejected nicely, ignore him completely or shake his hand back.

him: I'm Shamir/Syamir/whatever.
me: right.. *shakes hand*
him: *STILL DOESN'T LET GO* and your name is?
me: ermm.. Jessica. *pulls hand back* [at this time, one lady sitting in front of him looked at me with a "HOW COULD YOU TELL HIM YOUR NAME?!" kinda face. I wanted to break out in laughter.]
him: so are you going to school?
me: yes.
him: where?
me: around the corner.
him: maris stella? [what a fucking moron. Maris is a bloody guy school lah!]
me: B***ley.

I was so freaked out by now, I plugged in my ears, quit the game, blasted my music, and alighted 2 bus stops before my school and WALKED. What the hell.

So fucking freaky. Another reason why I hate travelling on public transport. And by the way, he didn't look handsome or anything, and I bet he was 20 years older than ME! He looked old enough to be my father you know! THAT DAMN OLD! And he wanted to pick a conversation with a kid like me! WHAT THE FUCKING FLYING FUCK. The bloody nerve.

Yes, if you didn't know - I detest/hate/absolutely do not like talking to strangers. If people knock on my door and if I look through the peephole and don't known who's the idiot; you could be dying or bleeding to death - I still won't open my door for the fella.

At school, I saw Mr freakshow there. Which meant he was going for prom. A bit too late when I found out. I already spent my money on makeup, hairdo, and dumbass accessories. To quit now would be a total waste. Sigh.

Was complaining to my pet fish about that strange dumbass as she did my nails. Hee-haw. All the girls were freaked out. If you were reading and got freaked out, join the bloody club. People like them should just go bang the wall, jump off a high cliff and die.

The class was okay - until the make up session. My mother kept on calling! Wah lao. And my phone kept vibrating in my pocket. SUPER ANNOYING/IRRITATING/UN-fucking-COMFORTABLE!

So I fished it out, and wanted to switch it to silent mode. When bam, my finger was on the LOUD mode, the phone saved the switch AND she called. SUPER WRONG TIMING LAAAH. My phone never ringed so loud before, I swear to you. It was so bloody humiliating. One moron sitting in the back answered "hello?" Grr. Never had so many eyes on me all at once. Super humiliating. gosh.

Went home after that. Was supposed to meet Drey, but I was thinking about the prom and how it ended so late, and I was thinking about wearing the suit, the dress, and how it'd be SO damn troublesome if I were to carry things to and fro. So.. I cancelled with Drey and stayed home. When the time was right, I dressed up and got ready to go.

IM SORRY DREY!

Another day, okay? PROMISE! I soooooooo NEED to watch Step up! The whole world's watched it already. Dammit. I feel ubber outdated.

Met the girls and we took a cab down to the hotel. Some said I looked smart, some formal.. and for those who were "lucky" enough to catch me without my jacket on - said I looked sexy and others said I looked gorgeous. I'm sure there were others who sniggered and said bad stuff behind my back, but you know what? I don't care.

When Freakshow came, he was damn dramatic. Other guys had their collars down, he had his up. The girls all agreed on one thing: COULDN'T HE JUST BE NORMAL FOR ONE BLOODY DAY? [night]...

Dinner was quite okay, though I didn't eat much. Nadz was panicking about the interview which she was gonna have with the teachers as a prom queen candidate.. so I spent 201522698236 minutes calming her down. Haah. Other than that, it was quite alright. The said "performance" didn't happen though. Disappointing. Was hoping they'd perform and all. They sing pretty good, for a bunch of people who take up a teaching career. Oh yeah, and they said the dancefloor would be open after 11 - oops, it wasn't. The only dance we had was the one on the way to the bus stop. And my friend - Nadz, despite her funny answer to the question "if you were stranded on a deserted island, what 3 items would you bring?" ...she won the title - Prom Queen. So proud of her. Hah.

After the dinner, everyone was taking photos. EVERYONE. Everyone was screaming to and fro "TAKE PICTUREEEEE! TAKE PEEEEEEEEEEKTUREEEE!" Wow. Took a couple of pictures with everyone. Rach was hugging me and saying she'd miss me and all. HAHA. That girl and her crocodile tears. Love her lah.

SEE THAT STALKER?! I SAID I LOVE YOU TOO! YOU BETTER LEAVE A COMMENT THIS TIME WHEN YOU READ MY BLOG! HAHAHAH.

Inside joke.

Hmm, what else..

Jaws won 1st prize in the lucky draw. Was DAMN funny. Her lucky draw number's 114.

emcee: and the next number, ONE!
me: *GASP*
jaws: aiyah, won't be me lah... confirm not me.
emcee: ONE!
other tables: cheyyyyyy....
me: *GASP EVEN LOUDER*!
jaws: HUH?!?!?!
emcee: FOURRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!
jaws: *shrieks*

Hahahahaha. That shocked look will forever be embedded in my memory.

And well, Rach caught me at one time in the toilet when I looked uber sad. I don't know... I mean, everyone acted like as if we were never gonna see each other ever again. Haha. And its just sad lah.

I mean, Ria, Deb, Nirmal, Jaws, Helen, Rach.. Rach and I are definetly going different places after O's - rest assured, Helen's going to Australia, Jaws and I.. well, the future's unpredictable. I mean, with a past that speaks for itself, need I say more? Then Deb and Nirmal are definetly flying off.. N's going to Aust, Deb may be going to UK or Nepal.. then Ria's going to Aust as well.. Ayu's going to Aust, Nadz's going back to Indo.. Almost all my friends are flying off.. and I was just thinking about it in the toilet lah. Like how this would be our last night together laughing at all the stupid things.. And looking at everyone who were so beautiful and handsome in the ballroom.. sigh.. I better not say anymore.

So anyways, when she asked me what's up, I just didn't know how to answer. Told her it was nothing when BAM! Everyone from my table [everyone at the table were girls except for Marcus...] came to the toilet. Haha. Wonder how VIP reacted when they spotted an empty table at the back. Lol.

Sigh.. prom night.. what a night to remember.

The cocktail party before the dinner, photoshoots at the stairs and Rach singing and swaying with me to "A1 - like a rose" still plays like a song without the sound. Hah.

Loved last night. And even better news: there's no more school, and I don't have to worry about anymore freakshows staring at me as I do my work. I won't ever have to see him again. I can finally move on along..

Thank God.
