Ironies in Life

As usual, my holidays will be spent at my father's office and as usual, I'll be doing errands for him like sending letters, collect cheques, send reports,and etc. One day I went upstairs to his library and saw an old report lying on the floor. I picked it up and saw the title, "Soil Investigation Report for Proposed Road Works from Kuala Kangsar to Sauk". I My Father wrote that report. Ironically, that report was the results of tests done by my father on the very road that almost claim his life. (Ive posted that in my previous entry)

Looking at the date of the report, it was written in August 1998. Exactly 10 years before that accident which occurs on August 11, 2008.

A Timid Little Boy... Part 2

At the boarding school, he learned to better himself. He learned how to project himself in public, how to be a good speaker, and how to take command of himself and command others. But, during those years, all he had learned had built a tough shell on the outside to protect the timidness inside him. He might be able to project himself well in public but deep inside him, he was just a timid little boy.

The exams came and soon he's gonna have to leave the school.

Then it was time for college. He enrolled in one of the local university to study Biology. Upon entering his first class at the university, something caught his attention. It was the sight of a tall fair and beautiful figure that happens to sit just beside him. that's the point where he know (or at least he thought) that she was the one for him. At first they were normal friends but then he started calling her and they chatted for long hours every night.

Afraid of being frustrated again, he maintained their relationship as close friends. For three years he kept his feelings towards her a secret for fear of being heartbroken. He thought he was happy that way but never he knew how wrong he was. The truth was, that all of her friends knew about his feelings towards her and how foolish he was for not telling it. They then confronted him and said not to love her anymore for it will surely break his heart. And it did break his heart. Weeks after that, he learned that his dream girl was already taken by another guy. Upon knowing it, he cried. He cried not for losing the girl but for how he was such a loser for not telling her the truth about his feelings.

He felt useless, helpless and that he was a real loser upon knowing that the girl had waited for him too. But having waited for too long and not wanting to end up heartbroken, she resulted in accepting a guy she had met in the cafeteria.

The timid little boy was devastated. His heart was crushed into tiny pieces. He locked himself in his room and refused to eat. He cried days and nights until one windy day, he looked out of the window of his twelveth storey apartment. He opened the window and let the strong breeze in. he stood by the window, closes his eyes, he took a real deep breath and...

The residents at lower floos heard a loud thud and screams of the people. They investigated and found the timid little boy sprawled on the tarmac. The timid little boy had died. He died heartbroken...

A Timid Little Boy... Part 1

Once there was a timid little boy who likes a girl. He bought her chocolates and gifts but never did he said anything for he was a timid little boy. Because the little boy was so timid, he was ignored by that girl. Not feeling overly frustrated, he tried again. He found another girl on his way back home. Quickly they became friends and since they lived close to each other, they became walking companion. This time, the boy stopped riding his bike so that he would be able to walk by her side. One day, after gaining a lot of courage, the timid little boy opened up his feelings for the girl. But all the strength that he has gathered was of no use as he was only to find out that the girl had made her promise to another guy ONE day earlier. Frustrated, he quitted walking, went back to cycling, took another route home and never saw that girl again.

The next schooling year, he found himself fallen for another girl and also found out that he got a secret admirer. But, being foolish and naive, he couldn't comprehend with the idea of him having a secret admirer that he made a series of foolish acts. Not knowing that the girl who likes him was a friend of the girl he had fallen for, he ended up being hated by both of them. Well, that's what people call 'Monkey Love'.
