Before it is too late.
There's a saying that goes like this " you need to make up a thousand of lies, to cover up for one lie you've made." I couldn't agree any more to that.
I may not seem to be the one who bother about asking, but it does not mean I'm not aware of it. I may look like this, but I'm sharp when comes to things like this. You may be able to fool your friends, but at the end of the day you cannot fool yourself.
Until you have realised what you have done, it will be too late for you to make it up. You lied to everybody including to yourself. The outcome is that no one benefits from it and it is the nagetive effect that you will suffer. Have you not learnt your lessons? I wonder. Maybe that is what you've always wanted. Sympathy.
I can understand that there are certain things you would not want your friends, family members or anyone to know. But there is no need to lie, you just don't have to say it. But the moment it involves with another person, you know it will leak out sooner or later. No point hiding.
Paper can never cover for fire. There's a reason why people said that. Because it is true. If you dare to do it, then you will have to admit it. People make mistakes in life, who doesn't? Even God is not perfect, what can expect from us, who are mere humans?
I am surprised as to how *Euphoria (Not the real name) can make up impossible lies, But I am even more amused when you, who is the same as Euphoria, can condemn her about her lies. To be honest, you are not anywhere better.
The reason why you still have friends and Euphoria doesn't is because, your lies meant no harm to anyone. But that doesn't mean that you are telling a white lie. Speaking about hypocrites and how much you disliked them, you are just one of them in case if you didn't know.
Leopard can never change its spot. We all know that. Despite that, humans are kind by nature and we will always give chances, hoping that the person will turn over a new leaf. However, these people will usually take it for granted.
All these while there were many things, I didn't say and I know you haven't been very honest as well. Since, you are about to leave soon then I guess this game is about to end. I've asked myself many times, why do I play this game with you?
The answer is simple. You look so awkward until the extend that it is pitiful. It true that it humours me from time to time and you never fail to amuse me with your lies. Beautiful yet sad lies. All these only protrays a bad image of you, when your reputation hasn't been very good to start with.
The brain is like a space. That absorbs anything and everything. That can transform everything to nothing. Is it your personality? or is it your brain that is the problem? That causing you to make up such lies with such wonderful words. Too bad I didn't study pyschology.
A mental illness? I doubt so. It is just you. Pushing all the blames on to anything. Even the country is at fault. You, who has been constantly running away from your troubles, will always find that trouble will keep troubling you till the end.
You have never truely made friends with anyone. Although I know that it is hard to find true friends in life, it is not impossible. I found my true friends. A few is a treasure. If you're lucky, you may have more than a few.
Things aren't going to explode like a volcano. There will be no one out there to broadcast this either. No one bothers, I would say. That's why is pitiful. In other words, people have given up on you. Maybe that's what you've always wanted all along.
What ever reasons, motives or intentions you have behind all these lies you've made. I believe you have already acheived your goal. Congratulations!
It may be a good start for you but past is past, history is history. It will always and forever be there. People will remember you for who you are now. This will always remain in them until the end of their journey. Maybe that's what you wanted.
Anyway, this is my last piece of advice to a friend. Before it's too late.

Manga Review
Title of Manga: MARS
Story:
MARS talked about the darkness in people and how some of them can overcome it and how some cannot. It has a little of romance, violence and tragedy that makes you keep wanting for more. It has a different vibe in the story that is able to leave an impression in your mind.
Synopsis of the story:
Kashino family runs a huge business, Oak Group, which is fairly well known in the business realm. They have 2 sons, Akihiko, the younger brother died in a car crush during car racing. The elder brother took over the Oak Group. (forgot what's the name of the elder brother, let's call him Kashino)
Akihiko was loved by many people including his father. Hence, from young their father has been bias for Akihiko and the elder brother was a left out. Akihiko has a lover but that woman was eventually married to the Kashino.
After Akihiko died, his lover gave birth to a twin brother. Elder brother is called Rei and the younger one is called Sei. Kashino, despite knowing that these children belongs to Akihiko, he still raised them as his own because he was not able to have children.
However, the mother didn't believe that the Kashino would love Akihiko's children and, she who has a terrible temper and loves her children so much that in the end she suffers from mental illness. She even attempt to kill Rei once and after that incident she was immediately sent to a mental hospital.
Not long after she's discharged, she committed suicide. At that time both Rei and Sei were still too young to understand what death is. Kashino was left in despair that both his brother, wife and father are no longer in this world and he himself wasn't too sure how to be a father of 2.
Under the recommendation of his friend, who is a psychiatrist, who is the doctor in charged of his wife, to send his children to a relative who lives in L.A for the time being until Kashino's emotions are stable.
When in L.A they were put under one of the relatives' care. Rei who has a violent temper is a total oppposite of Sei who loves art and is a good boy. Rei promised his mother that he will protect his younger brother who is often the subject of bully.
Things progressed in a negative manner when Rei attempt to kill one of the bullies who always pick on Sei. When they moved back to Japan, Sei commited suicide in front of Rei. Rei was in a shock and he lost all his memories and also, suffered from mental illness. Hence, Rei's memories as a child were vague and unclear.
Rei who loves motorcycle racing, starts to be more human like after meeting this girl, Kira Aso who eventually became his wife. Rei confessed his sins and feelings to Kira and she has helped him to cope and overcome his mental illness.
Aso Kira has a tragic past where she was rape by her step father and that leaves a scar in her. Her wound was so deep that she became an introvert. As for her, it was Rei who has helped her to step out from her comfort zone.
These couple has met many obstacles and people that has caused them pain. Such as Masao Kirishima who also suffered from a mental illness, a very serious mental illness that has resulted him to kill and injured many other people.
Slowly, step by step, they build up their bond between them and their future. From a delinquent teenager to a grown up man and how they have overcome difficulties with their friends' help. They who have beared the costs, have also taste the sweetness of the fruit of the outcome.

Memories Are Nice
While casually having a chat with my dad today, we spoke about my childhood years and all the people that I've met and how we seperate along the way. That's where I remembered my childhood playmates that I had back then when NSRCC was still called Changi Safra.
Hilda, Janice, Cheryl, Eunice, Jasmine, Camille are the names that sounds familiar to me now but yet seems so distant. I have 2 of them on my facebook and so I decided to check them out since I have the time today. We are all really leading a life so different from when we're young.
I guess I did not change pretty much since bowling has always been the main focus in my life from when I was young till now. But to them, who has gave up bowling, they lead a very different lifestyle. I would say, normal girl's teenage life. Did I missed out a lot? I wonder to myself.
Time really can change a person. They, who used to be a daddy's girl, have now become trendy, party and happening young ladies. As for me, who used to be naughty girl has become pretty much a daddy's girl. What a total opposite we are now.
Say, life is strange isn't it? Maybe, somewhere down the road in my life, I might run into them again. Will we still be the same again? Probably not. It's kinda hard to be how we used to be since we are all different now. For the better or worst, no one knows.
How many years has it been and I still can remember all that has happened to us back in Changi Safra. When did I even stop going there? How did we stop contacting each other? I cannot recall. Well, I do have good and bad memories from there but it doesn't really matters now, right?
Anyway, memories are nice. =)

Feeling Sick
As I have more spare time now, I have started reading manga and just finished reading this manga series "Special A". It's really a damn good manga. Although some of the things inside is a bit ridiculous, that's what makes manga interesting to read isn't it?
Special A refers to a class classification. They are made up of the top 7 students in an elite school. They have their own school campus which is called the Campus Paradise which is another building of its own apart from the main campus where ordinary students attend and also it is, where they will spent their free time in a green house especially build for them.
I love this story because there is a sweet sensation to each of the characters' love story. How they fell in love and how they overcome the obstacles that lies ahead of them. When they discover their feelings for each other, how they convey to the other person through various means.
It's not very fantastic but it is something worth reading. There's a reason why it is placed second in the top viewed shoujo manga. It brings me back to my old school days although I'm not anyway near any of the characters illustrated inside. It is the fun they had and enjoying every moment as a student.
Ever since Saturday's victory banquet, I haven't been feeling well at all. I had a fever that shoots up to 38.6 degrees on Saturday night after movie with steffi and gang. It went down to 38.4 on Sunday when I went to work and slowly to 37.4 at night and on Monday morning it went down to 36.9 degrees which is my normal body temperature.
Although my fever subsided, it comes together with cough and flu. My head was spinning really bad with the flu and I cannot sleep peacefully because of that. Hence, it resulted me taking afternoon naps more often than I usually do.
I drank like tons of water and have to go to toilet like every hour. But it reeally does help in making me feeling better. But my eyes are still puffy and head is still spinning. The coaches actually had to send me home the moment I reached the training venue. Wasted trip and they wanted me to see a doctor. Which is something I don't really enjoy doing.
Guess I will have to make a trip down to my family doctor and have a check up. Hopefully it's not swine. Damn, of all times I have to fall sick now. My dad says it because I overexert myself and that is the main reason why my body system collapsed. I believed so.
Flu Flu please go away. Cough Cough please stop coughing. Eyes Eyes please get better. I got a feeling my eyesight has been detoriating but oh well, I will improve it by staring at more trees and grasses.
I wanna get back on to the lanes to start training. Usually when I'm sick, by bowling will improve my condition but i didnt expect the coaches to send me home today. zzzzzzz......maybe I should start looking around for some manga to read or play some games in Facebook or maybe start watching my animes.
I wanna get well soon....
He stops talking to me. Well, I should have see that coming.

Pissed
Yes, I am pissed. Pissed by the fact that I wasn't allowed to bowl anymore because it was late and it wasn't my fault that the squads delayed till this late. If it would have started on time, It wouldn't be "late" already right? And so, they reap the benefits and I bear the costs. Well done, give a round of applause people!
I'm always amazed by how these "people" can find thousands and millions of "excuses" to abuse their authority. You know what, there's something call Karma. You will get it soon. Sometimes, justice is a little slow. I understand that.
For once, ONCE! I didn't make it into the finals. Oh Fuck! I cannot believe how much I've lose out in my own game. How much further down am I going, I wonder? How far more must I climbed to be where I used to be? How did I even manage to make it that far in the past? I seriously wonder, when did I start falling down till I reach this stage that I'm in. When was it?
A little history about myself that some of you may not know. I started bowling at the age of 15 and made it into the National Youth at the age of 15 and to the National Team ( which is currently known as the Elite Team) at the age of 16. I've been in the National Team for about 5 Years before I was demoted to the Intermediate Squad 2 years back and now, I'm demoted to Development.
I asked myself this "Why are you still bowling and staying in the team?" "Why did you let yourself fall until you're treated like some other newbie in the team? "Why are you still holding on to the placement in the team?
I did not find a honest answer to my questions and I am still asking myself these questions. Is the bowling world really changing towards the other kind and not mine? Than what's left in bowling when there are no challenges anymore? How do I create miracle once more?
Look here, I'm a perfect example of a discarded product that has failed their expectations. Aunty Alice was cruelly kicked out from the squad. Jennifer is barely hanging in there. And me, I am already at the doorstep, waiting for someone to kick my ass out of this team. Reality is cruel.
I hate to admit it but this is what the bowling world is telling me. So how now brow cow? Well, I shouldn't be taking it too seriously. But once I leave the team, I will lose all contacts with my friends now. That is one thing I don't really want to see it happening. Especially when I'm the type who is not really good at making the first moves.
Friends are the reason why I still want to be in the team.
Now, I really need to figure out how am I supposed to pick myself up from all this mess. Though i'm not the one who created this mess, but since I'm in it, I'd better figure a way out unless I quit bowling.
Show me some guidance man....I'm feeling so tired....
