Act 3, Scene 5: Space

I've a packed day today. But I'm not yet in school. Haha. But when I am later, it's gonna be hell. Imagine this, I'll have a 7 hour block in school from 1030 till 530 and I'll only have an hour's break in between two 3 hour blocks. Haha. I had a revelation in the shower earlier. My timetable looks like this:

Monday - 3 Periods
Tuesday - 5 Periods
Wednesday - 6 Periods
Thursday - No Periods (Woohoo!)
Friday - 1 Period

So every Monday I kinda build up my week til Wednesday and I tell myself that I only have to go through 3 days before I start my 3 3/4 day weekend. Haha. I managed to move my English tutorial from Friday to Wednesday. Cos I thought I'd rather have a packed day then have to wait 5 hours on Friday. So on Fridays, I get to go home at 930. =)

Was watching Ellen on TV earlier. Then she showed this video of a couple dancing to the Righteous Brother's Unchained Melody, which I think is a great love song. And I thought about Gemuk. Haha. Who's Gemuk? Hmm, he's my darling pet. I've been living in my present house for close to 12 years now. Gemuk was around for more than 9. He was like a child I raised but he passed away a couple of years ago. Hmm, I dont have a picture of him. I guess I lost them when my old laptop got reformatted. Well, he's a white rabbit with red eyes and pink ears. Haha. And his nose is split down the middle cos of a fight he had with another rabbit when he was 2. What do I remember best about him? His nose that twitches while he breathes (actually all rabbits' noses twitches but his looks cute cos his nose is split), how his mouth will be stained orange when he eats carrots, how he will allow me to check his teeth and ears and just stay still till I'm done, the very cute way he sneezes, and most of all, his cute-ness when he snuggles up to you when he's tired or scared. He'll nudge around and poke his nose up to me while I'm lying down watching tv, trying to find a comfortable spot and when he's found it, he'll go to sleep. Haha.

I think Gemuk's the only rabbit ever to have gone to Suntec City when we brought him there once cos we didn't wanna leave him in the car, so we brought him in a bag. Haha. He's had rides in the car and he's even been to Johor and East Coast. He's a pretty cool pet and I remember watching him grow up. He liked to eat mimosa flowers when I brought him to the field once. I mean, he just ran around looking for mimosa flowers and eating them. Haha. So cute.

I think a bond with a pet is really special, even when you don't understand what the other is thinking. I enjoy spending time with him and I don't know if he liked having me around but I think he must have tolerated me. I used to talk to him whenever I was sad and although he's probably thinking, 'This human's crazy.', his eyes never betrayed such a thought. He never judged me and never withdrew. =)

Hmm, I talked to my Buddy from my contract school yesterday. I had sent her an sms asking how she was then her smart alecky self replied with this message that sounded so suicidal. I panicked la..So I called her. Then when I did, she picked up and it went like this:

Me: Who's this?

Buddy: Funny la you. Call me then ask who is this. Haha.

Me: Lekha? Oei..why you laughing? What was that message all about?

Lekha: Haha. It's a joke la boy (she calls me boy since I was in school). Didn't you scroll down?

Me: Must scroll ah? I panicked la! No time to scroll..thought something happened to you. Crazy la..

Lekha: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..

Me: Please don't do that. You almost killed me la..


Ok. Stupid me. I know.

I really thought she was in trouble. Hai..So anyway we had a long-delayed chat on the phone about life. Lekha's an assigned buddy of mine when I was a contract teacher. Initially I was afraid of her cos we had to call her Madam Lekha and she sat behind me and was quiet to me most of the time. Then one day we had to do some stuff for the SEED room so she turned out to be this wacky lady. Haha.

Oh well, I'll update later. I need to go to school now.

=)

I'll wait, Nur.
