going 'anti-social'

WARNING: this blog is not k-pop related. It’s written for all my friends, subscribers and everyone I encountered here in AFF. It would be a very long one, you will definitely fall asleep reading this reflection of mine. So, please don’t hesitate to click the back button or you will regret it for not doing so. If you do want to continue, then you’re welcome but I’m not forcing.

 

Exactly one week ago on Tuesday, a pair of elderly couple gave me a box containing vegetables, fruits and freshly plucked flowers (all originated from their farm). I was speechless when I received it. I was really touched by their action and as a cry baby, tears fell down from my eyes. Why, you might ask. It is because they purposely traveled all the way from Cameron Highland to my office in KL, just to deliver them to me by hand! (Okay, Cameron Highland and KL are situated in two different states, and it will take a few hours drive to reach. What I want to highlight is that they must had to endure the discomfort for such a long journey as they traveled by bus.) I help everyone that comes to me without wishing or dreaming anything in return. And just this morning when I was waiting for the lift to my level, a woman greeted me and thanked me profusely for helping her securing her documents. The truth is until now, my mind is still trying to figure out who she is and what is her case all about.

Alright, before I was transferred(or should I say it was an offer) to be the PA of one of my directors, I was attached to the mass communication unit as a customer officer junior clerk. There, I came across many people and handled variety of cases coming from all over Malaysia. I had never dreamt that someone would still keep me in their mind after what I have done. And back to the elderly couple, their case had been settled since last April. So, basically I was shocked when they appeared in front of me, thanking me and brought along their unique present for me.

And now, I would like to express my gratitude to all my friends, subscribers and just anyone that I had dropped a line or two. I couldn’t reach out to you guys personally as all of you are from all over the world. So, this blog is dedicated to you guys! Seriously you guys had showered me with love, support and words of encouragement during my three months here as AFF member with username 9394DOKAI. The reason I write this is to inform you guys I’m going to ‘anti-social’ from February till April. (Yeah, some of you might think what is the big deal, when it is just merely three months. But, it is really a BIG deal for me as I’m addicted to this site and would get excited whenever I log-in seeing those red alerts!) I had no choice but to have some self-control for myself as my exam is around the corner and all I wish is to get a pass with one go. I will never ever want to repeat those papers again!

I first came across AFF when I watched EXO Next Door. I read a chapter (sorry, I couldn’t remember the author or the title) named I got D.O./Do Kyungsoo’s phone number (or something similar to this). It is about a girl feeling thrilled after getting his number by accident and called him every day even though he ignored her. And when I got hitched to Kaisoo, I found myself reading another fanfics posted in AFF again. And that time, I decided at once, I’m going to register as a member. I wanted to read everything about them and most of all, my ultimate crush, G-Dragon, very very badly and desperately. In the beginning, I was more to being a silent reader, leaving no comment even though the author asked for it. But later when my naughty mind started to have ideas here and thereafter reading this and that, I decided to write my own fanfics.

English is not my first language and my level of mastering is just enough for me to survive. And honestly, I don’t have much love/dating experiences. My first puppy love came to an end when his grandmother asked me out and told me off (no, I’m not lying. It really happened to me like those scenario you watch in a drama). My best friend grabbed my boyfriend from me in my second relationship. So, I really don’t have happy ending for all my relationship with guys. And now, I’m trying my best giving hints to a guy I had a crush with (alright, I know I’m stupid for my action when he is not giving me any response). All my inspirations came from everything surrounding me. It may be just a short article I read, or a short video I watched, or just simply over the counter conversation I had in my everyday life. In this way, I can really feel for my character. And having such a crazy mind like me, it’s hard to find someone, either friend or partner that can really understand me. My friend had once recommended me to consult a doctor’s advice as I had a mental breakdown when I started ‘Behind The Screen’. It is because the story is written mostly based on my real-life experience.

Okay, I’m done about my part. I will now shift my focus to all my readers, subscribers and upvoters. First of all, thank you very much for spending your time reading my fanfics. I know mine is just so-so compared to so many superb writers out there. I’m still on my way improving on everything. Subscribers, yes, I may only have a few of you but do you know you guys really make my day. The first fanfics I received subscriber was ‘Little Angel, Little Devil’ (feeling ashamed of myself now as it had been on hiatus, but I’ll surely finish it once I’m back). I used to say my max is five subscribers, but now I got twelve for ‘Behind The Screen’ (Okay, I know it’s just TOO few compared to those with over hundreds or thousands subscribers). But hey, it is still something I’m proud of and happy for as someone did really noticed it and read it. I got my first upvote for ‘That Star is My Love’. Yes, laugh at me as it’s just a vote. But an upvote cause 25kp, and I know the fanfics must be so good to receive such recognization. Once again, thank you for all your support even though it may just the few of you.

Lastly, all my friends here in AFF and those I stumbled upon for the past three months. And I would like to take this opportunity to thank some of you that had made an impact to my life. Yes, I tried to remember how I become friend with you guys. I’m sorry for not mentioning your name here as my brain cells are limited(I always had severe migraine that will land me in hospital for injection and drip). Still, the following are those really important to me.

I was just taking a break from studying for my French and Math exam tomorrow when I saw that you posted. I have to tell you that seeing my name in your list enlightened my day (or night, it depends hahah). It was my pleasure giving you that list of words, take your take studying them and message me when you want to learn more! I read your post, and I am touched by your story. I also have to say that it's good to know when you have to take a break from something, either because you have other priorities or because you need time to think. Take your time. We will all be here when you will come back!

FIGHTING!!

Take your time, you deserve it! :D And good luck with your exams, I know you can do it good, since we're all addicted to this site, and can never go anti-social from it, so praise your self-control. :3 And thank you so much for mentioning me, I know I did basically nothing, but I'm glad that you found me as any help at all. Thank you, and I know that you can improve as an author, and I'm so glad that you're helping so many people. Fighting! :D
