Unforeseen consequences.

when you don't feel like it, not much you can do to force it. i don't feel like writing right now, so this will be a super short post by my standards.

a series of unfortunate events has befallen me this week. though some i'd rather not mention (major stomach ache), some are worth mentioning.

my house was broken into last night at about 4 am. about the same time i was happily chatting with a friend in manglish. which I must say here is very fun indeed. no, not the house being broken into part obviously.

i was not there. i was in UTP. my mother and brother were asleep. my father was not. so they came in, held my mother at knifepoint (if there's an actual word like this), tied her up, did the same with my brother, then threatened my father with my mother and brother. obviously my father couldn't do much, even if no one was threatened, because there were 3 fellas altogether, and my father isn't his young self anymore.

they tied everyone up, ransacked my parents' bedroom, then left. took everyone's cash, phones, camera, watches, jewellery, etc2.

apart from the bruises my mother had from being tied up too tight, no one was hurt. thank God. so much worse could have happened.

i found out at noon and rushed straight home.

In conclusion, I would like to summarize the things that I have learnt / realized this week (not in order).

1. Never wait too long to get something you like.

2. Never leave your stomach too hungry, it may surprise you.

3. Never piss off your supervisor, she may give you extra work for it.

4. Life does not always go the way you planned it.

5. It does not hurt to be careful.

6. You are too mat salleh celup if you think talking in manglish or worse in Malay with a friend is fun and entertaining.

7. Your mother remembers more than you think she does.

8. You used to be a very good boy.

9. You can achieve almost anything if you set your mind to it.

10. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Especially ones that call you in the middle of the night to supposedly console you.

11. Friends do care about you, even though it may not look like it at times.

12. Always remember to be humble no matter how proud you are.

13. Relationships are easy to build, but if broken are hard to mend.

14. 1 + 1 = 1. That is love.

15. People don't always react the way you expect them to.

16. People miss you more than you miss them sometimes, so be nice.

That is all from me for now. Will post a proper one as soon as possible.

Peace.
