I got inspiration for this post from Wishbone who tagged me with a post called ’5 Scaries for Kids’. I never respond to tags but I shall blog about my greatest fear as a child.

I thought for sometime about what fears I had as a child and I almost couldn’t think of any. Not that I am fearless but I conquered my fears whenever I had any as a child. I was once afraid of heights but I forced myself to look down over ledges whenever I could. I was afraid of the dark and ghosts but I made myself walk through the kitchen and to the toilet in darkness. I am trying to recall the mentality that I had that made me want to conquer those fears. I think I was influenced by all the comics I read when I was young and a lot of them had a hero who faced their weaknesses and came out stronger.

Every Hero has their weaknesses…. and bad wardrobe days.

So in a way, the hundreds of dollars I’ve spent as a child on comic books didn’t go to waste after all! There was lessons to be learnt in between the pages of over-sized boobies found on female manga characters!

There was one fear that I couldn’t get rid of and it probably will stick with me throughout my life. The fear of death. Not mine but of people whom I care about.

It’s kinda dark for a child to think of such things but I was like that as a child. I would ponder about the meaning of life and my imaginative mind will somehow imagine scenarios if loved ones like my mother died. These moments will usually come in the dead of the night before I go to sleep and tears will stream down my face as my mind plays out the scenario. Kinda wimpy for a boy but I get so involved in those imaginations to the point where it seems so real.

I breakdown whenever I attend a funeral and see someone in tears. I just feel so sorry for the people who have to live with the absence of their loved ones.

I wanted to do something meaningful for KuKuNehNeh (KKNN) as it is our 1st Anniversary together. Some might ask,

“Need to celebrate one meh?”

NEED LAR! I think it is an important date to celebrate our undying Love for each other.

Mushy? Okay, you all can go for a 5 minute break to puke your guts out before coming back to read the rest of this entry.

Back?

I decided to put my shitty marvelous Flash skills to good use and started to work on a 3 to 4 minute video for KKNN. Selecting the appropriate songs were HARD! I like haunting/sad love songs that has lyrics about breaking up, people hating each other, love that is not reciprocated. HAHA!

If I had more time, I would have opted to write song for her but it would take about 2 years for me to write one song. Which means I had to write the song 1 year before I met KKNN.

It boiled down to two choices between Adam Sandler’s “Grow Old With You” and Enrique Iglesias’ “Hero”. I ended up choosing “Hero” because the former was too short for the video and besides, Enrique looks and sounds more hotter than Adam. I can imagine KKNN watching the video as she hears his voice and then associating his hotness with me.

*cough cough*

Anyway, it took me about a week to complete the video and I took half the day off on Friday to tidy the loose ends up and to spring a surprise on her.

By the way, have I ever introduced you guys to my friend called Murphy? He is quite the famous guy. If he had a facebook account, he will definitely have the highest amount of friends in the world. Murphy also wrote an interesting law and shamelessly named it after himself.

Murphy’s Law – “if anything can go wrong, it will.”

MY FLASH FILE GOT CORRUPTED! BLOODY CHEESPIE SON OF A CHICKENEDA!

Using Adobe Flash - FAIL!

.

I don’t know what happened to the original file and it corrupted my compiled flash video as well! I had no backup, no time and was almost tearing my pubic hair out. I had no choice but to create a PDF document hurriedly to store it in my thumbdrive before I rushed out to collect the flowers I ordered.

I reached KKNN’s place at Ang Mo Kio and managed to get in her house as her parents were around. An email was sent to her using my company’s email address to dupe her into thinking that I was still at the office. In the email, I told her to go home after work to get changed and wait for me as I will be late.

I set up my laptop with the PDF document I created earlier. The laptop was then hid underneath her blanket and I took the flowers and went to her lift lobby to hide.

.

KKNN called me soon after.

“WHERE ARE YOU? Why is my computer on?”

(Turns out that I turned on her computer and forgot to shut it down)

Removal of Evidence – FAIL!!

.

I went to her doorstep and surprised her with the flowers.

She looked at me in glee and said, “Actually, my Mum told me you were here just now~~~”

Surprise – FAIL!!!

Flowers cannot be eaten my dear…

.

I Love KKNN but Murphy Loves Me~~~
