A short story written for a friend.

The sunlight is filtering in through the blinds. I really have to remind myself to replace them with proper curtains, possibly light blue ones that match the sky. I tell myself that every time I toss over and open my eyes. The moment I do, the morning sun blinds me for a few seconds. Its half past 6 in the morning, a Monday morning to be precise. Another long work day lying in wait for me.

I’m only due at the office at 8 o’clock sharp so I might as well lie in bed for a longer while.

I close my eyes and cock my head, listening to the sounds downstairs. I can hear mother talking to dad about something about yesterday’s news and I can hear the water boiling on the stove, the kettle whistling non-stop until mother frees herself from the other chores to turn the fire off. And of course, I can hear my younger brother, Alexander singing Katy Perry’s Hold and Cold on the top of his lungs in the shower which is starting to get on my nerves.

So I get out of bed and head straight top the bathroom.

‘Alexander!’ I yell. ‘Stop the racket or you’ll have to walk to school!’

It’s really a bonus to have a driver’s license, that way I can threaten my brother every time I need something done. Then, Alexander steps out of the bathroom, clad in only a towel and dashes off to his room, situated next to mine, without even a simple ‘Good morning’ greeting. Oh well, he’s in that awkward hormone teenage stage, I shrug as I enter the stuffy bathroom.

The mirror is foggy but it’ll clear up in a moment. Instinctively, I draw a smiley face on it. Of course the next thing I do need not to be explained in detail as every one is familiar with its procedures. After showering, shaving and emptying my bowel, what? I’m a normal human being too! As I was saying, I return to my den, the clock on my table shows its just 15 minutes to 7. Plenty of time left to organize myself for work.

I stare at myself in the mirror. I see the guy in the mirror smile awkwardly at me. He is clean shaven, has bushy eyebrows, eyes that sparkle with humor, a slightly upturned nose and thin lips that are always curling into a smile.

I’m a normal 24 year-old-fresh graduate who unfortunately has a few confidence issues.

My mum smiles at me the moment I step into the kitchen. I love her smile; it brightens up my day, literally. She’s always been by my side, accompanying me no matter what I do even when I decided to pursue my dreams in architecture.

My dad is over at the kitchen table eating his normal bread and eggs breakfast topped with a mug of freshly brewed coffee. He’s always been my idol in life. Dad runs a small business selling fruits but that’s not what I mean, I have always looked up to him. Dad is a people person and has a good way with words, he’s always so confident but I lack that kind of confidence in me.

Anyway, I’m always happy to wake up in the morning and be part of this peaceful scene. But that won’t last for long since I have to go to work.

Its 7:45 o’clock in the morning, I’ve already dropped my brother of to school and I’m on my way to the company. The moment I step into the building a blast of cold air greets me. I smile at the old Indian security guard and head to the elevator. I adjust my tie and shirt, wanting to look my best and not get picked at by the boss again. There’s a weird rule saying that every male worker in the company besides the cleaners have to wear a tie to work and it must not be removed until afternoon. That’s the one rule I detest.

As the metal doors slide open, I step out and I reach the main office. I retrieve my punch card and wince at my geeky photo on it again. After marking my attendance, I make my way to my small cubicle on the 4^th floor.

When I started working here a few months ago, I was assigned as an assistant architect but instead after several weeks I realized the work I was doing was in fact a clerk’s job and all I ever did was filling, photocopying stacks of documents, typing letters, checking e-mails and last but not least brewing coffee for everyone in my department. Everything here is a disaster, but I’ve never had the courage to speak up for myself and tell the boss about my current situation, all I ever do is sit and pray that I don’t mess things up or that I don’t get picked on by the head of the department or my other colleagues.

A senior once told me, being a newbie is hard work but I never expected it to be so horrible. How can anyone stand sitting in a cubicle all day with barely enough space to stretch your arms, typing endless documents and standing next to the photocopy machine all day?

But secretly, I’ve been coming up with designs on my own, drafts of my dream house or an office or even ways for my department to look less dull. I can’t help but think that one day, I’ll be a successful and the world’s famous architect or at least Malaysia’s. But it seems like I will have a long way to go if my dream is to come true.

I can’t just close my eyes and just wish upon a star and hope that a fairy tale happens. I know like what my father always tells me that I’ll have to work hard for it and do my best at everything. Learn from your mistakes, son, he’ll always say.

Just you wait and see, I’ll make my own dream come true!

Death.

Death.

Is a part of life.
Is part of the circle.
Is the continuation of life.

Death is a horrifying prospect to a living being.

Not being able to breathe again.
Not being able to smile again.
Not being able to cry again.
Not being able to express oneself again in so many ways.

All those things
which a dead and cold body cannot do.
All those things
which a sick man yearn to do.
All those simple things
which a living person neglect to do.




So many deaths everyday.
Due to hunger,
due to old age,
due to sickness.
due to accidents.

So many deaths everyday.
So many souls leaving their family and friends
going back to God's embrace.

So many deaths everyday.
All I'm doing at least is praying that
non of those deaths happen to those that I love.

Human beings are greedy.
And so am I.
I just can't bear the pain of losing somebody dear to me.
Just the thought about it,
chills me to the bone.

Once a healthy, cheerful living person
now an empty void.
All that that's left is only but the memories of once upon a time.

So many deaths all of a sudden.
How many more do we not know about?


We never know what may happen next in life cause fate is cruel.

My little creations in life :)

Hey there boys and girls :)
This is a little something I came up with^^
Enjoy~

Do Re Mi Fa So La Si Do...~~


Do Si La So Fa Mi Re Do...~
Hehe^^

My favourites~
Which I definitely won't be giving away...
I'm not stingy but I love them too much^^

They're actually really easy to make draw...
All you have to do is draw a cute little chibi,
start with an oval or round face then add in the body and the limbs and dress them up with whatever you fancy^^
And then you colour them with possibly highlighters and ball-point pens.

I depend a lot on colourful highlighters nowadays.
Simple and quick~

This is a another creation of mine❤
For a good friend's birthday present^^
He's a Bio student so I made him a simple card and something special to go with it.
Guess what?

A cricket.
Ha!

I did say he's a Bio student didn't I?
He has to make bug specimens so I did him a favor and got him one for his b'day^^
Happy Belated D'day~

Sometimes life isn't always good,
cause life is like a roller coaster;
you may cry and smile,
you may curse and laugh;
it all depends on the different angles you look at life.

TOP OF THE WORLD!

Top of the world


Something’s over here bothering me,
And it’s kinda tough and makes no time for me,
ABC, 123, all I did, was just see,
And my brain was blank for I was fast asleep,
Lately I’ve been getting many C’s,
But the wonder of you led me up to B’s,
With much faith, and much trust,
In whom you, we believe,
You will guide us all up to excellency,
*I’m on the, top of the world looking,
Down on creations and the only explanation I can find,
It’s the mountain I climb,
Is as high as sun can shine,
You just put me on the top of the world.




Lyrics done by Jeremiah^^

❤ it

Just doodles~

I have no mood to type looooooooooooooong posts...
So I'm posting something I drafted a while ago.
I just adjusted it a bit.
Cause I really don't want my blog to be dead...

Doodling during PA2.
The topic was really boring and annoying so I started drawing.
They look horrible~

This is the back of my notebook.
When I wasn't in the mood to revise or finish my notes at school
I'll add a bit here and there.

My lousy sketch of my notebook in pen...

❤

My pencil case~
I really love that ladybug^^

Sketch and original...



My water bottle...
Bought it in Isetan^^

Sketch and original...

Spiral Riynn is moody to the max!
Due to piles and piles of notes + homework!!
I hate homework!
Its ruining my sleep!


I really fell at sleep during Accounts today.
= =

Help?
*sigh*

Sorry. Bo mood.

Sorry.
I'm not in the mood to blog properly.
:(

Cause I'm not feeling well.
But I've already drafted what I want to say.
Its just half have done.
Cause I have way too many things to write.

*sigh*



Me. Spiral Riynn. Sick.

Kuantan here I come!

Like what the title says.
Yea, I'm going to Kuantan...
Cherating Resort.
For the Pre-U Carnival.


I've been having a headache.
Cause I'm having trouble packing my luggage which in the end turned up to be sooooooooooooooooooo big and bulky.
*sigh*
I'm not a good traveller...

This is my list of things to pack.
A very long list indeed.
Make me look like 'pindah' rumah-ng'
= =

My bulky luggage.
Satisfied? Lingky.
Now you see how big my luggage is.
Don't laugh!

Duh~ The hangers are for hanging my uniform...


This is my formal suit.
Cikgu, cukup formalkah?





====================================


I'm going to amuse you with some not so amusing photos.
= =
Hehe.

The sushi I bought from SOGO with Kor Yan...
I ate it for breakfast today^^
Yummy~

Its been a while since I've last eaten any sushi.

I hope you do realise that the photo above is a drumstick in a plastic bag.
Mr Khor thought that it'll be a great idea to 'dabao' a drumstick before our PA tuition cause he was scared that it'll be sold out.
And he just put the drumstick in his bag together with his books.
= =

In the end,
his pencilbox smelled like chicken.
Yum?

When he told us about the drumstick I was like
'= =lll What? You put a drumstick in your bag?!

The drumstick above belongs to this guy who slept like a log in Kor Yan's car.
Muahahahaha!!!!





P/s: I won't be back home until Thursday.
*sob*

Today~

Erm...

I can't seem to think of any topics to write...
So I'll just tell you about my week.

What did I do this week?
Errr...


I did my homework.
I onlined
I played with my hamsters.
I practiced my piano.
I read a novel.
I read Kaichou wa Maid-sama!.
I watched only 2 episodes of Avatar the Legend of Aang.

Oh enough with the crap.
So basically, nothing out of ordinary...


Well today we had a ceramah for all the Acesquad students.
= =
Acesquad meaning the students targeted to get full As.
Which I think is pretty impossible for me and is an additional burden for us.
Cause looking at your enlarged and not to mention ugly photo on the wall is not a good way to boost your spirits.
But that's not my main point...
(I might blog about it soon though)


And the ceramah was conducted by a 23 year old guy which we think is just a fresh graduate.
I think he was called Harif or Hanif or something like that.

In my opinion he was really weird.
I couldn't differentiate whether he was serious or just joking.
He went on and on about his life story...
About how he went from the top hockey goal keeper to skinhead to falling head over tails for a short Malay girl called Ain.

= ='''

And there was this Form 3 boy who yawned.
And he was scolded.
And so I spent the next couple of minutes trying to force myself not to yawn.
WTH.
Yawning doesn't mean that your speech is boring.
It means that your brain doesn't have enough oxygen.
Or so I'm told by my bro.


And since I had to go for singing practice,
I left the hall early with Khor and Lingky.

Practice was really horrible.
= =
Cause our school has limited classrooms and we don't have a music room,
we were forced to practice our singing in the labs.
But the labs were always occupied.
So we went from the school hall to the Chemistry Lab to the Physics Lab to the Bio Lab to the Bilik Pengawas to Bilik G.A.!
At least we didn't need to have P&P.

Being a nomad sucks!


Anyway,
the singing is for a competition in Kuantan.
And I've been singing 'Heal the World' all day until I feel like puking.
Nah kidding.
Its a great song, MJ!




oh and BTW, I got my medal today^^

Silver!
We got second in the Tug-a-War!



❤
Feel like changing the colour of the heart today~





P/s: Going shopping afterwards.
Gotta but stuff for the trip.
Like extra lingerie and toiletries XD
