flawed work of art.

I detest scrabble. I simply detest it!! why? because I was compelled to play 6 rounds of scrabble in one day! from 8 something to 4 something. I could've escaped it too!!! just that Godma was like, 'at least you get a cert..' it's not worth it, man.. *traumatized look* it really isn't. after an unsuccessful first round with ssi for my team, [I was the only one who won. I know, I know, surprising, right?] it was uh, tougher against sri perling 2. I played with the same girl whom I played with during the workshop a week ago. she was good, man. and I had to play with her TWICE. gosh. did she whip my butt pretty bad. our spread was close to 200 the 2nd time around. stupid bingoes, I tell you. anyway, everything was all good, until... the 5th game, when I felt all sticky with perspiration & my brain was so totally fried. I was playing with the same guy I beat in the first round. honestly, I was not putting my heart to the game, randomly putting words and laughing hysterically at that.. the poor runners kept running towards us to get our challenge slips. so pitiful. lloyd was so cute, kept hovering around us, staring daggers at us. he was so nice too, wishing me good luck & taunting my opponents. it got vijay all suspicious and that maybe, was why he lost the 4th game. at the end, I was ready to go home for a nice warm bath.. but the 'excitement' didn't stop there... after mrs yap's long speech about what the top 3 teams will be anticipating in berjaya times square next month, which I wasn't listening to because my brain was already on a holiday somewhere else, some good yet bad news was received by our team. we got 3rd. for both under-15 & under-18. gosh. when she announced that we were 3rd, my jaw dropped and I looked at xin & she went, 'sh*t!' language, woman, language... I walked weirdly towards the front to receive our invitation letters to kl and blinked a few times, realising that the date of the comp (oh my gawsh!!! 11 games!!!!!!!!!!!!) coincided with our school's 80th anniversary & also youth rally. why does EVERYONE like that date?? it's all good and swell though, coz' good heavens, no way am I going to kl for 11 games of scrabble with all the top people in m'sia. NO FRIGGING WAY!
after a quick bath, I hurried off to church.. LATE. and my lower back was so sore!!! so, with stef massaging me while lecturing me for sitting with a hunched back, I got through mass without dozing off.
oh and thanks for the compliment, aj!! :D

I don't know your face no more
Or feel your touch that I adore
I don't know your face no more
It's just a place I'm looking for
We might as well be strangers in another town
We might as well be living in a different world
I don't know your thoughts these days
We're strangers in an empty space
I don't understand your heart
It's easier to be apart
For all I know of you now
Keane We Might As Well Be Strangers
