Sheena is such an ass. I happened to meet her in sch today cause i got my time wrong (i thought lesson is at 2pm but it was at 3pm so i'm an hour early and i had nowhere to go). So i decided to go and submit my form for Global Citizenship at HSS, Sheena went with me. After submitting the form the guy asked "are you a male or female?" and i'm like O.O wtf? someone mistake me for a female again? So i answered him "male". Then he asked "if you're male, then why did you tick this part?". he points to the form where it says FOR FEMALES ONLY: Are you pregnant? and i ticked no =.= I was just blur la okay. And thanks alot SHEENA .. You and that guy laughed your asses off right in front of me.
Then Sheena asked me to go to the library with her since i have nowhere to go, but i told her i'd be so bored w/o anything to do! She handed me the book abv and said it was very nice. I'm not a book person, and i totally detest novels or wadever hard covered made of paper over a hundred pages kinda thing. BUT i thought since i had nth to do, i might as well read the book, at most when time's up i'll just return it to her, no harm what! HOWEVER, i got addicted to it. I couldn't stop myself from reading it! I even begged Sheena to lend it to me so i can read it during class and she reluctantly agreed, on the condition that i have to return it to her when her lesson starts cause she wants to read it too. So, at 4pm i had to return to her. She skipped lessons, we went to smoke, and the whole time i was reading the book. Finally she had to go home and she wouldn't lend the book to me! Ended up, i was so frustrated i went to buy a copy myself. cbbbbbb spend money on books =.= this is so not me .. But i guess it was worth it!
Tell you a short summary about this book. This girl's name was Shoko Tendo, she grew up in Japan with 1 elder brother, 1 elder sister, and 1 younger sister, as well as her parents. Her father was a big shot gangster in Japan, owning the gang called Yakuza. (this isn't a fictional book, Yakuza does exist in Japan even till today! go google it and find out more) Basically this book arouses all your emotions, and i do mean ALL. Firstly you'll feel bored, then you feel kinda curious abt what's next, then you get horny (no joke), then you get angry, then you feel pitiful, and somewhere in the middle when Tendo meets Haka, you feel kinda happy for her, plus alot more other feelings, and finally you'll tear (sheena and i did tear, seriously).
Super short summary: When Tendo was young, her dad's business partner came to molest her, then she followed her elder sister's (Mika) footstep by being a Yankie (Japan's gangster). She totally loved the way Yankies act and she thought it was cool. Lost her virginity to her first bf cause she thought that would make her "more Yankie" and then she got onto drugs. Then her best friend's bf wanted to rape her. At 19, she started getting involved with married men because she was showered with lotsa expensive gifts and even an apartment. She went through misery all the way till late 20s. Through that period, there were men who really treated her nice, but left her in the end cause of their own family, and there were men who abused her, emotionally physically sexually. (i have to mention this because i'm damn pissed with this kinda guy) There's this guy by the name of Maejima who kept injecting drugs via needles and stringe into Tendo and then beats her up terribly before fucking her brians out. At the end of it, he always hugs her and says sorry, i did this because i love you, i dont want you to leave me. What kinda bullshit is this? If i know any men that is like this, i swear i'll treat them a couple of fists. Ok back to story.. Tendo get miscarriage and abortion while she was playing around with these married men and she finally settles down with a guy who truly loves her.
Then came the problem with her sister Maki. Maki married a retarded gambler, who once used to be a rich fuck. He gambled all his money away and Tendo had to support Maki + her husband, on top of Tendo's own family. At that point in time, her father retired from the gang, was seriously ill, and her mum was on the verge of dying. Soon she realised she couldn't make ends meet and she felt that she's bringing trouble and misery for her husband. She then asked for a divorce, unwillingly, just bcos she wanted her husband to have a better life. Reluctantly, her husband agreed. After divorce, her husband still continues to take care of Tendo's family. Tendo got into depression too, and she lost and gained weight frantically, had a very unhealthy body, and she almost died from overdose of slping pills. One day she finally managed to pluck up her determination to start over anew. She then went to have her whole body tattooed, of a woman who's life resembles that of her's. It ended when her parents died, and she stopped being a bar hostess and became a free lance writer. I hope she's leading a healthy and worry-free life now. All the best Shoko Tendo!
