clear skies
April 27, 2010 @ 8:38 PM
We all have an alter ego, some even have it on like a mask. We put it on and we play the infamous pretend game that the world has come to know and love. With it, we became someone who we thought we could never be, we put it on to fit in, to easily adapt in uncomfortable environments. It's as if with that mask, we gain some kind of self-confidence we never had. At least we thought we did. What we don't realize is that, the longer we leave the mask on, the easier it is to be our face.
I've said it once and I will say it again here. Trust is a huge deal for me. Lose it and you will have a hard time getting it back. That applies to everyone in my life. I know I can't stop tongues from wagging but I can change what people think of me. I have had friend stab me in the back, friends bitch about me and pretend like nothing ever happened, friends just use me for their own benefits. Even after all those time they pushed me down, I'm able to pick myself up.
I realize that it is an understatement when they say, they older you are the wiser you get. To me, it depends on who the person is. Some channel that child in them way to much that they come across being very childish. Some just made wrong decisions because they were not thinking straight.
You know, after all that, it made me realize who is worth it and who is not. I used to think that I could not afford to lose friends. Now that I've lost some, it not only made me stronger, it is making me realize who my real friends are. Believe it or not, don't be surprised if it's not your friend of so many years. Haven't you heard, when a door closes another door opens. In other words, you might just have to lose something to see things clearly.

p/s I'm saying this in general. Don't feel offended but if you do, not my problem.

red bones
April 25, 2010 @ 7:41 PM
As tiring as school can be, its going pretty good. My days in school are pretty much filled up with laughter and lame ass jokes. Classes are not so bad, presentations almost every single day but I'm glad I have an awesome team. I'm still trying to get use to the schedule. It takes a toll on you when you have classes that starts at 12pm and end at 5pm almost everyday. Two days of weekends are not enough for me to replenish the energy lost. Weird, I foresee many more projects coming and I guess it's going to be much more exhausting. I'm yawning as I'm typing this. How pathetic can I get?
My back is not getting any better but it's not getting any worst either. I've trying to refrain myself from seeing the doctor, reasons within myself. I've always imagine that it might result me getting hospitalized and having to go through an operation and all that sort. Scary. Okay back onto track, so I'm trying all sorts of possibilities trying to keep it from getting worst. I've tried applying pain relief patches which hardly even sticks for long let alone work wonders, I've tried stretching occasionally but I think instead of making me feel better, I feel the pain, I even tried back massage and currently I'm drinking Anlene(not on a regular basis just yet). Mum has been trying to get me to drink it but I keep telling her that its for old people and I'm still young. Then one day she brought home a mini-box of Anlene and I, obviously not thinking straight, drank it. It surprised me, it does not taste all that bad, even though it made me feel kinda old and fragile. When I told her that, she went on an bought a pack on Anlene powder; Chocolate flavour. It's her way to make me drink it. She says it's good for the bones. I don't really buy that just so you know. Sometimes I even substitute it with milo. Its the same colour, Mum doesn't have to know. ^^ Hopefully I get better, I really don't want to visit the doctor.

claustrophobia
April 21, 2010 @ 12:18 AM
Today was not really a good day. It would have been great if certain things didn't happen. First, I nearly cried in the train. Yes, melodramatic much but I nearly did. Why? Because I was caught in between so many people standing too close to me and all those while I was finding it hard to catch a breath. Here's the thing, I have personal space issues, mildly claustrophobic. I cannot have too many people surrounding me in a close manner, I might even lose it when I cannot handle the way people's skin rubs against mine, even if it's just a gentle brush. And it makes it even harder if I'm in a tight space. I nearly freaked out. Second, I got cheated for lunch. It was daylight robbery. Can you believe it, five dollars for a measly two piece of chapatti and ice lemon tea. It got me so pissed. To me, it clearly seemed like they were taking advantage me. The rest of the day went well though. It started pretty well too. I'm starting to like ADB even though its quite tedious for me, given the distance and all. But I like it. I like my group and I cannot wait to start working on other things. I'm still trying to get use to the school schedule. With this kind of time frame, I don't have to wait until Friday for it to take it's toll on me. For now, I'm just taking it in on my stride.
On another note, my back is hurting me like a lot. It's putting me in so much agony. Panaflex doesn't do much to help either. All it does is emit heat and nothing else. It doesn't even stick for long. I think I need to pay the doctor a visit one of these days. Get to the bottom of this. For now, I shall endure the pain and try not to prolong it any longer.

fleeting lights
10:03 PM
Peace isn't a permanent state. It exists in moments. Fleeting. Gone before we knew it was there. We can experience it at any time, in a stranger's act of kindness, a task that requires complete focus or simply the comfort of an old routine. Everyday we all experience these moments of peace. The trick is to know when they're happening so that we can embrace them, live in them. And finally let them go. -Grey's Anatomy

denial
April 18, 2010 @ 11:35 PM
We deny that we’re tired, we deny that we’re scared, we deny how badly we want to succeed. And most importantly, we deny that we’re in denial. We only see what we want to see and believe what we want to believe, and it works. We lie to ourselves so much that after a while the lies start to seem like the truth. We deny so much that we can’t recognize the truth right in front of our faces.

girl talk
4:50 PM
When I was on Hatta's bike yesterday, I was thinking of how hard it is to be a girl. Minus the other things in life, it is still hard being a girl. The things we have to go through just for being one. I realize that we girls are put under an intense scrutiny of people's eye. We have to constantly uphold this cookie cutter image that people thinks is the appropriate way of being a girl.
In my opinion, I think people tend to focus more on our image. Maybe that's the reason they say first impression counts. I always have a hard time figuring out what to wear especially if I'm going out with Hatta's side of the family. I have to find something that is comfortable for me, something I like and at the same time something appropriate enough. It's easy being a guy, all you have to do is pull up a T-shirt and a decent jeans and you're good to go. This is just part of being a girl. Image.
I know guys go through stuff that we go through too. I know they too have those days where you just want to curl up in bed and those sloth-ish days, or those days where everything just seems to piss them off. but the thing about us girls is that we tend to be twice as insecure as guys, twice as paranoid, twice the vulnerability and many more. And when it comes to a relationship, we have to deal with what the other party(families and all) think of us. We have to shape ourselves in a way that we are good in their eyes. Then we also have to deal with the things our side has in store for us. All those judgement and questioning can take a toll on us.
These are just some part of being a girl. There's a whole lot more to be written down here. We have a lot of thing riding up our back just because we are girls.

school
April 15, 2010 @ 5:34 PM
School has reopen for nearly a week now and I'm still trying to get back on track. But it won't be for long before I get back up on a routine. Did I mention that this semester's timetable suck. Classes basically ends late in the afternoon for all days. I have to travel all the way to Tampines every Tuesday for one of my electives. Oh, did I mention that I shall end school at 3pm every Friday now? How could that possibly be? It's Friday, you're suppose to be looking forward to Fridays. Teachers or whoever is responsible for the timetable must be drunk while doing up ours. It's totally uncool. Can you imagine starting class late on most days because you only have like two lessons and you would have that ONE day where they just chunk every lesson in that one day. A 9 to 5 day. How ridiculous is that?
Today however, there was no school. Lessons got cancelled because the teachers had to be at Macpherson for the year one orientation. Which is kind of a good thing. I've been feeling pretty restless and all I wanted to do is to stay in bed. But the weather got so humid, it made staying in bed a little uncomfortable, even with air-conditioning. School resumes tomorrow.
It's raining now and Hatta is off for detail until the next morning. Random. I should go now. I need to finish up my assignment. Here goes, another 17 weeks or so of school.

year two
April 12, 2010 @ 11:29 PM
So before we move on to a brand new week, I guess I'll do a brief update on my last week of holidays.
I collected my pay from isetan, pathetic but better than nothing. Then on a random note, I met up with Fiqah. We had dinner together and window shopped and some other hilarious stuff. God knows its always so funny with her. I finally got to spent some time with my dearest w.girls too. We had lunch at Seoul Garden and went trigger crazy with the camera. I did nothing much on Friday. I met up with Hatta and we just chilled.
On Saturday though I fell seriously sick. High fever (read: battle). So I stayed home on Saturday curled up under the duvet. On Sunday, I felt better and I met up with Hatta again and helped him washed his bike. Well, he did most of the washing. Hafiz and Fiqah dropped by and we just spent a little time together.
And that's about it. Now that school has started and the timetable kinda suck, its up to the weekends for my source of fun.

lost then found

battle
April 11, 2010 @ 1:46 PM
I have been battling a very high fever for the past two days, with temperature reaching up as high as 40.1 Degree Celsius. I think that's the worst fever I've had in more than a decade and no I am not exaggerating. The fever came so suddenly, caught me so off guard. Things did not get any better on the second day, in fact it got worst by night fall. I was practically shivering even though I was all curled up under the duvet. The living room sofa was my source of comfort.
Today, I feel so much better. Fever is still there but it's not as bad as yesterday. Hopefully I get better by tomorrow morning. School starts tomorrow if you didn't know.

falling skies
April 7, 2010 @ 12:25 AM
I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself. And sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

unspoken
April 5, 2010 @ 7:14 PM
So you decided to carry on your everyday routine but it doesn't feel the same. It's like your 18-year-old insecure self acting up, filling you head with those negative thoughts and made you question the things in life. Then all the answers you get are not the ones you're looking for and you doubt yourself in every way possible. Yea, I bet everyone has those days if not I guess I'm extraordinary.

double date
4:03 PM
It was a short meet up but I think can safely say everyone enjoyed each other's presence, non-stop laughing about the same old inside joke. HAHA. We would definitely hang out again because Fiqah and I kinda promised the guys that we would watch Clash of The Titans next time round.

A cookie affair
April 4, 2010 @ 7:03 PM
The girls and I decided to meet up to do some catching up. Headed down to Vivo to have lunch. Then with a pint of Ben & Jerry, we settled at the rooftop and talked endlessly, taking pictures along the way too. It felt like we had not met since forever at the same time everything felt so nostalgic. After Su left for work, Fafa, Ain and I decided to roam around the mall. From National Geographic to Forever21. And my sweetheart join soon after. I had a ball of time with them, always had and always will.
And they say high school is always the best. Its where you make the best memories. I feel in love in high school and I'm happy with where it brought me now. I'm happy with all the friends I made. The ones that I will see in every aspect of my future.

pardon me
5:46 PM
Everybody wants me to forgive and forget, especially Hatta. But let me tell you this, it's easier said that done. I don't think anybody really understands why I find it so hard to forgive you. at times, it's beyond my comprehension too.
I know for a fact that I'm not the only one involved but I also know for a fact that I was the only one who was hurt the most. You may have moved on and so have I but what you did scarred me. I did not ask for all of those and here I am left to pick up the pieces and mend my scars on my own. The things you say bears no meaning for me now. No, I'm not seeking for any kind of sympathy, I'm just trying to let people see that I'm not the villain here. I have the right to feel hate.
Try being in my shoes and perhaps you'll find the reason why I could not do what everybody else expects me to do. Undeniably, I don't think I can forget this. As for the forgiving part, maybe someday I'll get to it, maybe someday I'll find it in my heart to forgive you but for now, don't harp on it.

sixty-two
April 3, 2010 @ 1:42 PM
"I really enjoy spending time with you, even if we're going to be sitting around and talking about nothing. There are a million of things I love about you, like your nose and the way you smile, the way you look at me in the eyes. and I just get the greatest feeling when I make you laugh, I feel as if my company makes you happy, and that's what I wish for you. For you to be happy. And when I see you smile at my clumsy ways, it just makes me want to spend the rest of my life with you so I can see a smile on your face, everyday."
Happy 62nd months baby. I love you more than you would ever know.

I'm getting annoyed at some people who keep having something to say about my life. I respect your opinion but it's getting a tad annoying now. It's my life. I can eat what I want, do what I want, date who I want and all of it. I'll carry the burden myself so I would like it if you take a step back and just let me breathe a little. I'm not asking for much here.
****************
I'm sure most of you know by now that I have already stop working. And it's not a big deal except that for the holidays now, it would be a little difficult for me to get a stable source of income for my expenses, given that I usually get daily allowances inclusive of school. But the thing is that, I don't mind. I don't mind being broke.
Every time I whine about being broke, I have a lot of people saying to me, "you can ask from Hatta what....". I know I can. But the thing is, I don't like asking Hatta for money even though he is my boyfriend. I may ask him for a lot of things, I may tell him I want this and that but I don't expect him to get it for me. Most of the time, I get the things I want myself even though Hatta usually nags about it. I don't put pressure on him to get the things I want for me. I have my reasons but I just don't like asking money from my boyfriend. I leave it up to him if he wants to buy me things or not and neither do I get upset if I don't get it.

itchy fingers
April 1, 2010 @ 11:33 PM
I have itchy fingers, I know. Heehee. I changed it again not because I was already bored with the previous one, I changed it because it was boring. I find a bit too dull even though it was somehow calming. So for now hope you enjoy the new one as much as I do. Well, for now that is.

You brought me up so high, but someway or another I find myself bringing us down, bringing myself down. I find myself doing things that brings the things we had up high down. Then you somehow, by a god mighty chance, you successfully made me feel so guilty about it. Yes, that's the power you have over me. So strong, it easily made me feel what I'm feeling without even trying.
