Melissa 2

Sorry I was unable to carry out my promise of blogging everyday.

Anyway.

(EDIT)

Looking at this again, after everything is over, I realize that I treated this really immaturely. Oh well, everyone has his or her bad times. Melissa was originally really angry at me for not showing this to her. Well, she would've just got angrier, seeing how biased this entry was. Anyway, I'm going to put this here, if you read this, good for you, you most likely did not read it last time round. Unless you're Zhang. Then again, I seriously doubt you'd be reading this. But that's not the point.

(/EDIT)

Yesteryesterday: EVERYONE knows about the diary incident, EVERYONE! Because Melissa here put it on my blog so EVERYONE can see it! Nice, eh. *Well, just revenge for me, anyway.*

Yestarday: Went to play badminton with Gwin, Mel, Zhang, Mike, Job, Jar, John, and Watashi. Kept losing in doubles because of Zhang's Doubles-win aura. Mel wasn't too good in badminton so I asked if she wanted to let me take over. She, being the overly-summisive-on-the-surface type, let me play. Godwin whacked me on the head after that for being a jerk. Then he commented about how sucky Jar and I played against Zhang and Mike. Gwin and Jar teamed up after that, so Mel and I were alone at the corner.

"Y'know, I'm kinda wondering why you invited me here."
"Mum's idea, not mine."

...yeah right, I was the one who asked her to go. So what if it was mum's idea? *sigh* I wonder if I should take the blame instead of mum. I know who Mel's going to push the blame to.

After that, Gwin made Mel play for a while, and she got off the court on her own accord. Gwin just went '...' *sigh* I know you're trying to be nice to her, but geez, this ain't how you do it!

I'm pretty sure she had more fun playing cards with my friends, but I won't know.

After that, headed to J8's Pastamania (Didn't know there was one there.) Had to make sure they changed one of the pizzas to a Tri-Sausage because Mel didn't eat mushrooms. She tried to make me sing, so I sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. And she complained because she couldn't hear it. GEEZ! Pizza was nice, though.

Went shopping around J8 after that. Melissa seemed extremely bored. I WONDER WHY. Took a walk around, and for the most of it stared at the kids, until Salima came along. Mel thinks Salima should be Mike's girlfriend because he has a high opinion of her. I had a high opinion of Melissa when she first came over, now I'm thinking she's just some adolescent girl with a crush on someone else. It's just so darn idealistic!

After Salima came, we headed to Popular... nevermind, continuing blogging tomorrow. Mom shouting at me to sleep. Sorry, mom.

Now, today's a new day, and I'm continuing my blogging. Sorry if it doesn't flow together now.

After Salima came, we headed to Popular. There, we spent most of our time staring at the Gundam Models. *Mel: SIGH, Gwin: Hey, I resent that. Me: ...* We spent a really long time at the Gundam Models staring, and what did Gwin do? Buy a pen. o_O

Gid: See? Graphic Novels, Comics. Graphic Novels, Comics. BIG DIFFERENCE!

Bleh, Gundam SEED's counted as a Comic while Batman is counted as a Graphic Novel. Bleh...

Mel took this book <101>: Herrick, you should get this book!
Herr: (wth, d00d)...
She went on quote examples in my story and I pushed her to the side.
Mike: Y'know, Herrick doesn't have to use such *Forgot word here* vobulary in his story. It suits the mood better.
Mel: What?
Mike: *Forgot word here.*
Herr: Y'know, Mel, you're good at English, but he's better. *Walks off.*
Mike: He has a point, y'know.
Mel *after a while, I think*: I feel suppressed.

Wait, SHE FEELS SUPPRESSED?!

Flashback:

[19:34:09] Herr.: Hiya.
[19:47:54] Zephel :: Yo: Yo.
[19:48:14] Herr.: *sigh* I passed Melissa my story.
[19:48:19] Zephel :: Yo: Which story?
[19:48:24] Herr.: the 22kword one.
[19:48:40] Zephel :: Yo: the er...
[19:48:45] Zephel :: Yo: insert catchy title?
[19:48:47] Herr.: My self-esteem is being shattered into bits by a concrete donkey in front of my face.
[19:48:48] Herr.: yes.
[19:49:17] Herr.: It's not easy feeling good with your story when the person reading it laughs every 10 seconds. *sigh*
[19:49:26] Zephel :: Do: well you shouldn't take it too hard
[19:49:27] Zephel :: Do: i mean
[19:49:33] Zephel :: Do: you know she's biased
[19:49:48] Herr.: No, I think she's just really strict on books.
[19:50:30] Zephel :: Do: really...
[19:51:02] Herr.: Yes.
[19:51:10] Herr.: She isn't treating yours like utter junk.
[19:51:10] Zephel :: Do: Well, one person thinking it sucks doesn't mean everything.
[19:51:17] Zephel :: Do: Exactly, she's biased.
[19:51:47] Zephel :: Do: You just have to be more steel against nasty comments.
[19:51:52] Herr.: no ell
[19:52:03] Herr.: Mel: It's really funny...
[19:52:07] Zephel :: Do: ...
[19:52:15] Herr.: *I don't think she's trying to be strict to it or anything.*
[19:52:29] Herr.: *She's being really sarcastic now.*
[19:52:37] Zephel :: Do: Yep.
[19:52:49] Zephel :: Do: I mean, you do know it isn't really funny.
[19:52:50] Herr.: She keeps laughing every 10 seconds or what.
[19:53:05] Herr.: I don't know, she keeps laughing at the dialogue.
[19:53:10] Zephel :: Do: Well, don't take it to heart.
[19:53:20] Herr.: It's hard to.
[19:53:27] Zephel :: Do: She reading it from the comp?
[19:53:31] Herr.: The constant laughter gets to you after a while.
[19:53:36] Herr.: Yes, the one next to me.
[19:53:39] Zephel :: Do: Ahh.
[19:53:44] Zephel :: Do: Bleaaah, I lost the story.
[19:53:51] Zephel :: Do: Didn't save it.
[19:53:54] Zephel :: Do: Oh well.
[19:54:04] Zephel :: Do: Just try to ignore.

I send Mike the story and he starts work on editing and giving critique on it, INSTEAD OF LAUGHING AT IT EVERY 10 SECONDS LIKE SOME HYSTERICAL IDIOT.

Mel looks over and sees the critique: You sent Mike the story? Why?
Watashi: Because he knows how to critique and edit the story and actually comments on it?
Mel: Well, umm... you had lots of strength of will when writing this. I couldn't have wrote such a long piece myself.

Conversation with Mike a few days later:

[21:19:36] "Haro! Haro!: I don't know, I think she has a really low opinion of me.
[21:19:57] Zephel :: No: ...
[21:20:15] "Haro! Haro!: Have you heard her ever say anything good about me?
[21:20:22] Zephel :: No: not yet
[21:20:28] "Haro! Haro!: Point.
[21:22:30] "Haro! Haro!: Mel: You sent michael that story? Why?
Me: Well, it's because he offers to help me edit it, and also gives critiques on it as well?
Maybe because he has something to say about it that isn't negative?
Mel: Oh, umm... Well, you had lots of strength of will. I could never do these kinda things. (Note, she says this after laughing at my story 10 minutes straight.)
[21:22:54] Zephel :: No: ...
[21:23:04] Zephel :: No: well i'm surprised
[21:23:08] Zephel :: No: she even said something positive
[21:23:12] "Haro! Haro!: I didn't get strength of will in writing my story so people could laugh at it!
[21:23:38] "Haro! Haro!: And she thinks I'm touchy for being annoyed at her!
[21:24:27] Zephel :: No: ...
[21:24:42] "Haro! Haro!: Anything negative or positive to comment about?
[21:25:00] "Haro! Haro!: Defend her or me, offend her or me...
[21:25:14] Zephel :: No: for the lack of comment, i think she's being biased
21:25:22] Zephel :: No: 'thassal
[21:25:44] "Haro! Haro!: Well, I guess you put it in one short sentence.

Mel thinks Salima ought to be Mike's girlfriend because he has a high opinion of her. Zhang laughed when he read the snippet of their conversation, I would too. I seriously hope this isn't what she thinks of love. It just doesn't work that way, Mel! *sigh*

Anyway, I just went seriously off-track. Where was I? The movie.

We headed into the movie, and I sat next to Mel, and Gid.

Gid, Me, Mel, Gwin.

I felt cold, so I put on the jacket. I thought Mel would've been fine, since she lived in Australia. Gid was really cold and asked Mel whether she was cold. What did Mel say? 'INDEED I AM FINE.' I try and lend her my jacket, she refuses. Movie starts. Gid is freezing cold and clutches onto his bag. Melissa still acts as if she is fine. Movie ends, and Gid was saying how Mel lied and all. Godwin whacks my head again for not lending her my jacket.

So, 3 of us say goodbye to Mike, Gid, Zhang, and Job, and head off to Bishan MRT Station. Mel wanted to take the scenic route, so we took the MRT to Jurong East; a pity it was so dark, though. Couldn't see much, and it was really crowded. Headed home, watched 12 Kingdoms and Inu-Yasha, and slept.

Next day: Mike helps me with stuff related to my story.

Mel gets into argument with Mike. Apparently she doesn't like Mike because he's good at so many things. Thanks for defending me, though, Mike. I appreciate it alot. =)

I just hope Godwin doesn't whack me on the head anymore. It's starting to get to my nerves.

(If you're wondering why I'm not calling Mel Mera anymore, it's because they're different. Melissa = Melissa. Mera = Mera. Melissa =/= Mera. I liked Mera. Mera would be what Melissa used to be, not what she is now.)
