My Blog

What am I doing awake at night…
I really couldn’t sleep! Well… Here I am again… It’s funny, though… After so many months and days and minutes and seconds… Here I am doing something that I hadn’t done for a long long time… BLOGGING! SPM is just around the corner… 12 more days to be precise! SPM is the final examination for Form 5 in Malaysia, it’s like O-Levels. Now… I’ll tell you a story to describe my situation, hehe… I can improve my English this way too!

     2.34 AM hits Ian’s eyes as he strolled them across the monitor to get a glimpse of the time. His eyes were those of a panda but he could not realize it. He didn’t feel like going to sleep because he had been resting for 2 and a half hours straight after badminton that morning. The place he was may be creepy for most but may be a sanctuary for some. It was pitch black, the only thing glowing was the light coming from the screen of the digital equipment, called the Monitor.

    As the minutes passed by, Ian’s mind kept on swirling. His brain was like a 4-lane highway, packed with different types of ‘vehicles’. Some were red, some were white, some were as though they should not be there at all. Despite the jam, Ian had his mind focused only on someone. Someone that he had be waiting for his entire life to have a moment alone with. He knew that he won’t get that moment in reality, therefore the only thing he could do at that moment was to dream.

    Many dreams he dreamed about this one girl. Those dreams made him feel as though he was in cloud 9, but they also made him feel as though he was dying. He shares these kind of things with people that he knew quite well. It was surprising that he kept these things from the only people that are close to him - his parents. This is normal for a teenager of his age. As one used to say, "As your children stops telling you where they’re going, it means that they have grown up."

    Pictures of the girl swept passed him like shooting stars. They were all beautiful. He only had this feeling recently, about 24 hours ago, when he was in a tuition class with the girl. The only one that Ian told about this special feeling of his was someone that lived very far from him. It was his pet-daughter that he cared for very much. He would tell her things that he wished to clear up his mind. Although they only knew each other for a year or two, they had been good friends since then.

    After sharing it with her, she was amazed that her pet-father could think of such things as she thought that he was only someone who only does add-math. They had a good laugh over the phone that night. But after he had cut off the transmission, he went back to his confused world again.

"What am I thinking??"
"It won’t happen! It won’t!"
"…I don’t want it to happen…"

    The reason why he was going through all those is due to the fact that his wish was going be granted, which was to have a moment alone with the girl on his mind. All of a sudden, scenes that were almost impossible to occur popped in his mind. He was dreaming of a romantic time together while the main reason they were supposed to be alone was otherwise.

    Ian’s mind was about to explode… He couldn’t contain it anymore, that is why he is doing something he hasn’t done for a long long time, which is writing a blog about it. All he could do is wait.
