Happy Birthday Hanif!

Anyone interested to go to Miss Ong Chiak Yin's (our choir's ex-conductor) Amadeus concert? I heard Tong Liang's sister won't be in this time round; they always change members for some reason. I still have yet to book the tickets... wonder what's taking so long for some guys to make up their decisions on whether they wanna go. I bet Miss Ong would be delighted to see Daniel and the rest la... but she won't remember me.

I just told my Mom about the ticket price, it's kinda steep I agree - $18 for a ticket. I hope there's some kind of subsidy but seems like there isn't. Messaged Miss Gan about it too, she doesn't seem to be interested cause she never reply me.

Today is Hanif's birthday, and I guess it's been a good three years already since we knew each other. Actually, Timothy got to know him first and we became engrossed with the 'Lady Marmalade' song.. and there had been loads of times we fought and all, and our friendship got really torn and bad. But I guess this is what you call true friendship.. it somehow gets back to normal. He's one of those good friends that people don't notice... he has this side not alot of people know.. and they misunderstand him.. it happens to all of us la.

I don't like Timothy Wong at all. He's those kind of people who uses others for his own entertainment. Don't know what I mean? I mean, he carefully picks out people that he likes and those that would humour him (this excludes band friends ar..dunno why people like Ryan and Malcolm can't see this outstanding trait he has). Then, the rest of the guys who are more outspoken, unknown or not as likeable he just ignores them. I was just using the chloroform and yelling when it got onto to my skin because I didn't if it had any effect, he had to make some negative comments about it. When I asked him if the chloroform would make the table stick to the plastic, he snorted;

"Chloroform is to stick plastic right? Will it burn wood? Tsk."

I mean it's okay if you have some stinking attitude problem but hey, I asked politely and would really expect some courteous help than listen to some stinking proud attitude. What is the use of a pretty face when you don't even have a good heart? What matters is how you treat everyone as your equal, don't think because you look more 'tame' you can blow your top at others who might even be better off than you in other points. I wonder if I can ever get people into their senses, Timothy is really beyond hope; he had this attitude since... since as long as I knew him.. that's like four odd years already. And unlike Ezra and Clovis who become more understandable about their schoolmates as they mature.. others just become even better snobs.

I hope he can see that what lies in a friend is his loyalty and honesty, and not just good looks, geeky behaviour, obscure language and wild actions. I don't hate him, I just dislike his attitude to some of us, I bet he's not a bad guy afterall.
