Paradise Lost...

I've been wanting to update my entry since last week when my finals were finally over, but the recent turn of events simply rendered me numb and speechless. At first, my beloved cat Bubble died a gruesome death on Christmas morning after being rolled over by some shit-for-brain driver. May you rot in hell whoever the fuck you are and don't ever let me find out who the fuck you are or I'll beat the living shit out of you!

I picked up Bubble by the Bangsar's PUTRA train station when she was scrounging around for scraps of food while looking lost and beleaguered. I got her some Indian fried chicken from the mamak restaurant up by Dataran Maybank and later, Arep and Kay came by with a box so we can take her home. May you rest in peace Bubble, and maybe now you can finally meet your long-lost family in kitty heaven.

Before the personal grief got the chance to fully sink in, another tragedy struck, and this time, on a more catastrophic and apocalyptic proportion. I don't even want to attempt to write about the devastation wrought by the tsunami since no words can truly express the level of destruction, agony and suffering that is happening at this moment. I do wish I can be in Banda Acheh right now helping out with the rebuilding and comforting the afflicted. May God rest the souls of all the people who died this tragic death. Amin!

On the side-note: I did okay for my first semester in school--two A's, two A minuses, and one B+. Fucking Pienkos gave a B+, which should have been an easy A, but then, I can always take comfort in the fact that I hardly ever go to his lecture and I did okay in my other more difficult classes. One thing for sure is that I will never ever take a class with him again. Ever! I could have gotten all A's, instead of two, but for now, I take what I can get. I guess I have finally shaken off the rust from not being in school for so long and I should do much better next semester. As long as I can keep my GPA above 3.7 (it's currently at 3.85), I will be just fine.
