Rainy Bakery

You were introduced into my life in the beginning of 2001.
I can still remember you were really easy to approach, not long after, we became good buddies.
When everyone did not support the decision of me being the class monitor,
you were among the few who supported me.
We were always competing against each other in studies,
especially in History, you were always the teacher's favorite student.
We changed classes after 2 years in Form 3, but we would still hang out during lunch times.
When I was feeling down,
all alone eating my spicy bowl of noodles in the canteen.
You would approach me and be concerned.
After a year, we then reassembled back into the same class for another 2 years.
Where we made a lot of memories together.
We went for camping with the Cahaya people,
Going to museums and planetarium,
Organising food and fun fair together,
Participating in dramas, public speaking and choir...
Just things ended so quickly...
So quickly that I can't even remember.
After going to our senior prom and Cahaya's, we then seldom meet after school.
Sometimes we accidentally meet in places,
When we do, we'll be chatting for ages.
The last time was February 2008.
To suddenly hear about the bad news, I was devastated.
I didn't knew it would affect me that bad.
At first, I was mad that I wasn't kept in the loop.
I've always treated you as one of my close buddies.
But... I respect your decision.
I did what I can do for now.
Is to hope you are happy wherever you are...
My dear friend...
Missing you...

Numbness

Morning approaches silently,
As people lay comfortably on their horizontal position,
Not aware that they need to leave that comfort zone soon.
Mostly insomniacs are already counting down the time their alarm will go off.
Looking at the ceiling,
Waiting for more light to seep through the cracks and openings of the room,
There,
What could be in people's mind?
Yesterday's hardship?
Today's challenge?
Or far beyond the unknown future?
Or rewind into their deepest past?
Isn't it funny how people always plan ahead,
But all they are willing to do at that period of time is craving to lay flat more,
Why not just enjoy the very last few moments of light sleep?
But how could you enjoy it if you are aware that you'll need to be awake soon?
At this stage, numbness occurs...
To me, numbness fits this scenario perfectly.
Where input and output are likely to be equal.
It is when you break the numbness,
You'll not hit the snooze button,
Wake up,
and overwhelm the numbness...
though it sometimes drags on,
but isn't life like that as an adult?
...
Have you got sick of life?
...
No one would admit that...
honestly...
at least not to another homo sapien
