(The Flashback segment is a post where I try to remember the moments of the past and post it up here as I either find it interesting to be read or just simply got no other topics to write about. So, Flashbacks are more like memories in words on paper; in this case, on the Web)
Okay, for this year, I've created pretty alot of choices on my own or with the aid of others. I've revealed my greatest kept secret of my life to lots of people this year ( awkward moments in my life); which I don't think is a secret no longer since I've told quite a lot of people (25 people to be exact; yeah, I counted them). I've done crazy things, as always in most of my life. I've done things that I've never done in a long time. I shopped for like a 100+ bucks for my Birthday this year. I've done things which were hurtful to others, and were also hurtful to me. And this year, was still another great adventure of my life.
The greatest choice I've made this year so far was entering Tampines Junior College(TpJC). I've been wanting to be a student at Temasek Polytechnic studying Diploma in Psychology Studies, but it seems that I've gotten my second choice which is TpJC. Yeah, I couldn't get into a Poly and ended up being thrown into a JC. I applied for the course at Singapore Polytechnic for Diploma in Psychology and Applied Drama. And with an offer to get a Diploma in my hands from Singapore Poly, I rejected the offer and continued to study in TpJC. One of the hardest decision I have had made in my life, and am content with my choice and the ways of studying here.
I've done something crazy this year; like shouting my lungs out at the School Stadium for being frustrated at my PW teacher. I was swearing my hearts off at her the whole day during consultation and decided to vent my anger out by screaming. Yeah, for those who doesn't know me, I like to shout and have a very loud voice. I've never screamed like that for a long time since I commanded the Band during my Secondary School years as the Quartermaster. So, when I screamed, people all around me jumped to their feet. The Cafe ladies, the studious people at the Cafe and the soccer boys at the field were all stunned at my voice (probably because they don't expect people like me to shout that loud) which was more like a roar. I shouted three times at the Stadium and once near my house( at an open field). It was kinda refreshing for me as that is my way of venting out frustrations and anger to the world. But it came with a consequence; I got sore throat the next day (and probably lost my voice), hehe.
Things I haven't done in a long time was karaoke, but Dyna had gladly invited me (more like convincing me to get out of boredom) to have a karaoke with Fathiah at Bedok, at the Chai Chee Community Centre. It was the most amazing thing I've done in a long time during the holidays. I'll post the pictures up next time on the segment Flashbacks in soon to come.
The hurtful things I've done this year was overusing my loud powers on people. First, I shouted at my nephews and nieces who were in my room for being too noisy while playing games. I was so frustrated at them shouting at each other, especially this nephew I have who is like the Devil. So I tried to stop them from shouting by shouting at them as loud as I can (I believe in Karma, so I try to get back at people by doing the same thing they did). Eventually, when I shouted at them, the whole house was completely silent as my aunties and uncles and cousins all heard the roaring thunder of my throat and they were shocked. They thought it was my father's voice but were soon surprised to know it was mine. My relatives like to call me 'Lembut', which is weak or feminine for a boy, and now they've realised that the small kitten became a lion. An aunt quoted "Jangan kata lembut, tapi suara kuat", translation "Don't anyhow call him weak, but his voice is so loud". Most of them don't expect me to have a hot-tempered nature, but I wanted to prove to them I'm not weak and thus, used my voice as Power. So I began to shout alot because I wanted to prove them that I'm not weak. But still, it was hurtful to my nephews and nieces that day, but it was my nature to be furious when I couldn't stand the annoying stuffs.
Another time when I hurt someone was when I shouted at my cousin during our Ipoh, Perak Trip in Malaysia. She wanted to find her missing son, Daniel, but my mum has already told her that my mum asked Daniel to find my brother. However, my mum repeated to her three times the same answer, but my cousin kept on asking the same question. It was frustrating and I immediately shouted back at her for not listening. She shouted back at me, saying "Apasal dengan kau? Aku cuma nak cari anak aku kan?", translation "What's wrong with you? I was looking for my son right?" and she stormed off the souvenir shop. Yup, it happened at a souvenir shop at Bukit Merah Resort (luckily, there weren't many customers and staffs). I kinda regretted my actions earlier on and apologised to her for my actions the next day. So, it worked pretty well for the next few days.
So...this Flashbacks were a lot to take in. However, it was more like a summary of the flashbacks. I think I'll further emphasise them in later posts on the Flashback segment. So, okay, I'll get in touch with you guys here in my new blog okay? I'll try to update it as frequently as I can. Hence, my resolutions for the new year is to create a new template for my new blog, update it as often as I can and hope to get more friends to read it and simply make new friends (hopefully, a lover, hehe). Gotta get ready to go to Dyna's Countdown at her house later. So Happy Holidays and A Happy New Year's Eve!!! Au revoir!
