Shadow-Hat Boy

THIS IS ME

Many of you are asking......................................."what's with the hat, dude?"

Joanne sorta likes it. Pete hates it on my head. Daniel just wants it off. John says i cant wear it in school. Other kids think its cool. Some girls tend to laugh. While others just stare. The teachers don't seem to mind! Critics think i look like a taxi driver, the envious say i'm from the circus. And some people see it as a trademark. Or some just think I'm a goofball.

Well , it IS a TRADEMARK.

No one else in school wears it except Hyder. That's why its special. Not because its fashionable, it gives me a sense of IDENTITY. DIFFERENCE. i LIKE that.

And you cant take it off my head!!! Coz i've been across the world with that hat. And you cant get the same of its kind in Singapore. Bought it with my own pocket money. In Paris.

It's not good luck hat. Not a Lucky hat. It's just special. A prized possession.

So if you think I look stupid, idiotic, goofy, funny, cool, weird, handsome, ideal, violent, or extra, guess what? I DONT CARE!!!!!!!!! Lol sorry.

The hat represents the following things: Misery, Heartbreak , Rejection, Neglection, Betrayed, Jealousy, Fear, Sensitiveness, Violence, Death..... or even Happiness, Significance, Pride, Speciality... it depends on my emotions.. or my mood. I wear it, for a reason.

So, what else have i got to say?

Goodbyes for now,

Hyder

>>> Nightmare Weekend <<<

Its been one rough weekend. Probably the most sad one in years. Not just one day, but 3 straight days of sad, painful misery. I cant really express how much pain i've felt in only 3 days...

Friday: First day of the Pain Weekend. I went to get my report book with my mom, only to see the dumbest marks an idiot could ever have. Mrs Koh keep tellin me about all the wrongs i've made and how i slacked in class (was that really necessary?!) When I left class my eye wouldnt blink and i hardly blinked.On the way home, mom told me she couldnt bear to nag anymore and she was sick of my failures. (although it was only one, but it was a freakin F9!!) The WHOLE day, i kept silent, feeling so miserable.. There was a sharp, horrible stabbing pain in my heart, and it lasted until night, which by then, a fever came on.

Saturday: Im still down with fever but i had to leave in the morning to take vids and pics of the Sec 2 camp. It really sucked, coz i had to follow keith around like a dog, in the hot sun, where i was struggling to continue on and hide my sickly expressions.. i survived the morning, but there's still one more day to go. Fever not going....

Sunday: Worst of the 3 days. I woke up, with a strange feeling that this day is just a dream. Early in the morning, mom said she had found out my DARKEST secret, ( i shall not elaborate ) and she starts giving me the donkey treatment. Shouts, screams, yells... i just cant argue no matter how much i wanted to. I ran out of the house, feeling both rage and anguish.. Things didnt change once i got back home again aft the camp ended.. that was the time when i a phrase popped up in my head, "Life is Living Hell" .... i dont know what it means but i dreamt it up.. things loosened up once mom decided to slowly forget the bad stuff and after she really saw how i regretted my wrongdoings. i prayed to the Almighty never to repeat my sins and change for the better. I never smiled since then.

Though Sunday started off pretty badly, it ended quite well.. thanx to my dearest <3<3 and the family reunion at night. Bad things, no matter how freakin crazy they are, they never last long. Especially when its something to do with family. There's always someone out there who would lend a hearing ear and provide a shoulder to cry on. Even if you are as stupid emo like me. Well, when everything is wrong, we move along. What else can i say?

Sec3 Camp!!

Hey peeps!!
Jus got back frm the best camp ever!! Yup sec 3 camp, 3D2N. Maybe u got clear idea of what happened, but here's frm MY point of view...

  • Firstly the boys had to sleep in the cramped, old, worn out, dusty A-huts..yup they call it A- Hut cox it looked like the letter A. There were four large decks, upper bunks fit 2, lower bunks less than 5.. No fans, No air con. Only ventilation windows. Girls get to sleep in the bloody dormitories. My roomates were John, Dion, Keith, Darwin, ChengWei, WeiJie, Sharil, Grayson, Bryan, SunKyu. Ming Leon neva sleeps here, just keeps his stuff.
  • Toilets sucked. They're open air concept showers, with murky cubicles.
  • I was in Group 1. Suckiest group, but not bcoz of our mates, its that crappy trainer, Amanda. She's like so f*cking emo sia, she never does anything good. She only smiles on like first day. Then she's like pissed off with evrything. She's sexist, evrytime pick on the guys. No one liked her. What she doin in a fun camp like this huh??
  • Here's where all the nice parts come in:
  • Challenge Valley rope swing course. Meet the king, yours truly!! HAHAHA jk jk
  • The Milo Pond, the slide which leads to the brownish pool of water below. SPLASh we went one by one. Woohoo. Upon closer inspection, we found out that the Milo Pond had living, swimming inhabitants. And the drain frm the girls' toilets leads there. YUCKKKKKKKKKKK . it had an affect on my skin though, made it lighter.
  • Kayaking for the first time. I partnered with Sharil and we rowed off. Excellent!! Though we had rough times, it was like damn fun.. the beach was also muddy like shit and we ALL got stuck a few times..ankle deep..knee deep...waist deep? No la not waist deep...but we went swimming in the water with our life vests and hanged out. Water fights with XQ...Soon after, me and grayson and bryan had to wash the darned paddles.
  • That night was also the nightwalk. Fun siaaa.. i partnered with Oliver, then we went off. In total darkness, following the trail of lightsticks, avoiding the trees, bushes, and mud pools. We walked on for like half hour when we finished. I kinda imagined i was harry potter... the lightsticks look like they were dancing in air when the trainers waved them. Man, i wonder what it would be like walking with a girl or a scaredy cat... darkness rulez!
  • Next day, we went archering. Then was the flying fox. Then absailing. Then was high elements.. yup, i tried the broken bridge and narrow balance walk.. both were piece of cake. Brave the wind, brave the height, brave the elements hahahahaha.
  • That night was campfire. No big deal. 3e1 wasnt that good, coz it was dammmn embarrassing doing our cheer coz the other classes like 3e3 were much better..

In otherwords, camp could have been a lot better if the first 3 points improved. Well i gotta go, Hyder signing off!!!

An old friend of mine

Friends.

Cant live without em’. Have u ever thought of what it wud be like if one has no frens? Just imagine urself. No one knows you. No one talks to you at school. They don’t wanna look at u coz they don’t care. Ur all alone. And what if u’re in a class where everyone only thinks of themselves, it makes things worse.

I know how it feels like. I’ve once been a new student. At that time I was too scared and shy to make new friends. My classmates, they don’t care. They already HAVE their friends. But I’ve yet to know that it only takes one simple ‘Hi’ and ur making a difference.
That was like ages ago…. But still experiences like this make u feel lucky that u have great friends around u and ur not alone.

My special people list on the left column, all the people in that list have changed me. They made a difference to MY life. And once someone is IN the list, he or she never leaves it. Its permanent. For one particular person in that list, I wanted to cancel him out, but I just can’t. Why? He used to be my friend, USED TO be a GREAT friend. Yea he used to. Now? Well I just don’t know about now. His name is…..

..............Jackie Wu. ………………………………………

This guy was special from the moment he stepped into BV. 2006, it was the first day of the exams ( LOL ) and he came here. The class and I got all excited when there’s a new student. When he intro-ed himself to the class, he said he was from china. “Heya ma name’s Jackie and I’m from China” ..Australian slang. He was grinning, lol he made us all smile. It was a whole new beginning. I talked to him first. I saw that he was a talented artist. Just like me… I really cant believe it. First Rio from indon, and now Jackie from Australia!! This guy had yet to know that he was gonna be the most-awesome-guy at school, and I had became his first friend in a Singaporean school.

From then on, Jackie and I did a lot of stuff together. I helped him get along with the others at school, in return he keeps me company. We stuck together most of the time. He was amazing. Amazingly funny. His popularity grew rapidly and people liked him a LOT. His bubbly charm, wits, sense of humour, athletic build, outstanding personality and his trust..what more can you want from a friend? Here are some things that I enjoyed when I was with him..

>Me and Jackie shared a lot of music. We traded songs and listened to them and sometimes we’d sing. Sometimes we’d change the words

>We’d go to the library where he’d show me his drawings of his old-school frends at Australia. He draws a lot of cartoons, mostly superheroes. We wanted to do a project on turning our class into superheroes, and we were halfway thru but we didn’t finish it. Instead we’d think of hero names, and the silliest pwers, such as the ability to make clothes disappear and the ability to make ppl steam. :x….

>We’d talk crap. Yup that’s the best part. Bursting out with laughter at the lamest things. We’d tell jokes, make fun of people, say weird lines, speak foreign accent( mostly Jamaican), and crap about life. We’d turn the most serious situations into mere jokes, and Jackie would say the silliest things at the most unexpected times. One of the most memorable was the funny names we’d make up ( eg. Hugh Jazz, Ken I. Kisyu , Homer Sexualle, Dick Burnswell etc..)And we’d laugh about it until our guts ache. *sigh* good times.


>Jackie introduced me to Bebo and I had fun updating it. Its like friendster, only its much better, but not many ppl in Singapore use it. See for urself. http://hyderblazeshadow835.bebo.com/ Jackie was the OTHER side of me. “Best Buds. BigGuy and SmallFry” I’m small fry of course. And once in a while he would show me the wackiest vids on Youtube and I’d do the same to him. He introduced me to South Park and The family Guy which was madly hilarious…


Back in those days, I couldn’t imagine how happy I was. No one else in school, besides <3<3, could make me happy.Last year before school reopened, I went to the bedok library with Jackie to do our new project, which is a comic. Unfortunately that failed as well, and it was the last thing we EVER did together. Jackie came into 3NA this year and we began to talk less and less. Later on, Jackie hung out a lot with Marcus and his new frends who were there in our 2e3 class all along. It was like, when I hung out with him, I deprived him from the cooler guys who played soccer, and talked at the same crap level.

One day Marcus told me on msn ‘Jackie wants me to tell u to stop sticking to him like a fucking leech’. Wow. I asked him what’d I do, but actually he told me he didn’t mean it dat way. And he said I used to be very lame and bla bla.. and he said ‘I foot hating u, juz telling u’ Did he really mean it ? It was sad. I never knew It could ever turn out like this. What made him say that? Day by day its like we drifted apart like clouds. He never ever talks anymore, not even making eye contact. I dared not talk to him anymore, sms nor on msn.

He seems much more happier with the other popular guys. Well I guess its just meant to be. Good things always come to an end, even if u didn’t expect it to end. I know I still had frends like Raja, John and all the other great guys and even <3<3>

...and one quote he left on my Bebo profile : hyder ur an awsum friend man! Have fun in paris !!! :)
