The Story of a Hungry Boy....

"The blistering heat recorded at 42 degrees...Hottest it has been in months....Reports of people melting on the streets of Perth"



In my house, sheltered from the burning sunlight, i watched many walk pass my house. All of whom glistening with sweat. Glad i'm not out there. It seemed painful for those outside to stand, let alone walk, with the rays of sunlight were attacking every unprotected being, reducing them to a unrecognisable liquid form. I pity all those who still have school.



And then it hit me. A sharp, piercing sensation, tearing into me. I had a sudden urge to eat...



There was nothing at home that could satisfy my desire to eat. I had to venture to the Esplanade, the only place offering First Class food. And i enjoy nothing more than to spend my time eating.



Chucking some clothes on, popping on my precious Bertie Beetle hat, i left my safe refuge and headed towards the big city.



Aargh! My eyes! My first step into the world was...filled with pain. As painful as it were, i continued on, knowing i would soon have my one and only meal, in my very hands.



The light attacked me from all sides. Depite how prepared i came (shirt, 3/4 pants, hat), i was forced to endure much pain. I made many friends on my journey, for they were willing to offer me some shelter against the intense attack of sunlight. The most memorable friend was a tree i named KaTreeNa...



My journey was stalled as i found more and more travellers, trying to make their way home. But i could not be late, because eating has always been on a tight schedule. If my hunger is not satisfied, i don't know what i would do. So i had to make sure i was early, and wait patiently for my beloved.



Before reaching my final destination, the Esplanade, i took a short detour to a nearby Boost store to buy myself a Banana Buzz. A cold refreshing drink to revitalise my health, and nothing better than to combine this life-saving drink and eating together. To come up with such a plan. Genius!



I arrived at the Esplanade, with two straws in hand. Why two straws? Eating and drinking on the same straw might be awkward for some, so perhaps eating and drinking should have one straw, and another straw when an opportunity for eating is no longer availible.



4:02 No sign of eating, but i should not doubt. It's Monday, i should be able to eat soon...



4:10 Anytime now....



4:15 Hmm...It's OK, there's still 15 mins



4:20 Is that - no, i'm mistaken.....



4: 30 .........*grumble*.........No word, not even a message back with an explanation.



I was starving, and there is nothing that could satisfy my hunger, so i left the Esplanade, and found a patch of grass outside. *Stumble* I had saved my drink to enjoy for eating, but there i laid. Hot, alone and hungry as ever. I felt so...insignificant. A message to tell me "i would not be able to eat" would have been nice. A phone call would have made a me happier than buying half-priced waffles on Tuesday.



But there was nothing. I guess no one felt the need to share the love. The rays of light hit the boy's body, but he didn't care. He was hit, wave by wave of heat, by he didnt move to the shelter of his friends, the trees. No, they didnt move to more than an inch to help. The leaves on the tree swayed, almsot cheering the boy's tormentors, but he did not moved. His spirit was too crushed for him to move a muscle. His desire to eat at the Esplanade was his Kryptonite, sealed his fate.

He laid there, on the grass, by his lonesome self, with nothing to satisfy his hunger...



This boy died on Monday, 12th of November, 2007. If someone was willing to share some love, and allowed him to hold precious memories of eating at the Esplanade, this young boy could have bought half-priced waffles today. He did, however, leave a note, one he wrote in his half-conscious state:

"Hungry. I like Eating forgive by hugs"

Exam-Free

TEE was terrible. i had a Chem exam on my birthday, and then 4 exams in a row. The good thing is that i finished on friday, which means i can go out and party with the few that have also finished. First thing is first, the Wii.

Lisa, my sister, bought the family a Wii console two months ago, but before i could tear it open, i was forbidden from touching it until after TEE. Thinking it was a joke, "Pfft, haha, very funny, now where is it?.,...". Well it wasnt a joke, and it was locked away from me, tormenting me, especially since i was not granted 1 hour of gameplay on my birthday....

Regardless, i had my first taste of it on friday night, after my discrete exam. Started slow with golf, before releasing all my tension in boxing

What to do now. Most of my friends are studying, and i wouldnt want to disturb them, no no, i wouldn't.....But what if i were there to motivate them to study, or to help them take a study break. Hmmm....

As i sit on the couch, licking my ice cream cone, i realise there is more to holidays than being beaten by my little sister in bowling....I'm going to get myself a job

Graduates of Oh7

My brother, David, graduated on Friday, at Winthrop Hall. There was a long procession as the 200 or so Yr 12s walked to their seats. David was last, because he was in the last class,with Yat as his last name.

As soon as he appeared, i stood up, but he wasnt looking at my general direction. I felt slightly hurt, but then concluded he was checking out the girls in the crowd. I forgive you david ;P

When he did however look, i started cheering, jumping up and down, arms raised to the ceiling, screaming "I LOVE YOU DAVID!".

David: .....*turns away*

:O SHATTERED!!! Rejected by my own brother...

I turned up to the graduation with an empty stomach, so the "interesting" presentation of awards was multiplied ten-fold. There were cookies at the end though. David and i took the liberty to test each variety for edibility...That, and it was a free dinner...They were on the table, so there was nothing stopping Dav and i raiding the plates full of bisuits. Well it's not like they said "Max. of 4 per person....", and i was starving......But they did offer........

Now that i think about it, would it be stingy if i were to bring a bag and filled it up with a plate of cookies.......

My Graduation was on Sunday, 28th Oct (Luvena's b'day). Nothing interesting, and to be extremely blunt, no one came personally for me. Family and friends outside of school were either busy, or did not bother coming :(

Plus, i went to the graduation dinner, by my lonesome self once again. I hear if you keep telling yourself you have friends, it will eventually come true.....

It's ok, i'm emotionally stable. You can check my wrists if you're still uncertain.

I met my friend on Tues, which made everything better. I tried scaring them by impersonating a stalker, but they spotted me beforehand, even noting that i brought my Trinity bag.

Now i'm off to study for chem, especially since the exam is tomorrow, and i have done 30mins worth of study this week... Too much Timezone. I've got to limit myself to one game of DDR a day, especially since i get 1 free game, everyday :)

Btw, in Woolies, Lindt chocolate is being sold for $2 each. I've bought like 10. I was finding it hard to combine my Chocoholic behaviour with my Stinginess -- until i found these Lindt chocs on special....
