Life.

It’s ironic that I’m not talking to you anymore, but I’m still talking to your friends….. Plus you are out of my life already. & I still have to deal w the problems you create + the hurt you caused your friend. Like seriously? Lol oh well.

Anyway, just wanted to say that it’s funny how you think you can’t survive without having someone in your life, but time heals everything. You slowly accept it, get used to it and the wound gradually closes. All that’s left are scars. Memories. And somehow, somewhere along the way, you find that you are okay with it. You are okay with everything now. :-)

Weird huh? How I felt that I couldn’t survive without talking to you last time. How I felt I had to talk to you every single day and I missed you badly when I couldn’t talk to you. It all seems so foolish now. How I cried so hard when we drifted apart, tried so hard to salvage our friendship, how hopeless and depressed I felt when my efforts were for naught. How envious and annoyed I was at the people who was still in your life.

Maybe it’s good. Good that you started to ignore me because of schoolwork but yet managed to find the time to talk to others. Good that we drifted apart and you let me experience the pain all by myself. Good that you weren’t there when I needed you the most. Good that you were the one who caused me so much pain when you were the one who saved me and gave me strength. Good that I learnt how to cope with the pain by myself, even though one of your friends wanted to help me. Good that I experienced and went through that week of pain and horrible breakdowns everyday by myself.

I’ve become stronger. I did hate you for a while, you can’t blame me. But I’ve realised that I’m able to stand on my own two feet and cope with stuff myself. Maybe I feel really helpless sometimes without having anyone to tell everything and anything to. Hell yes, I do miss you, you are my close confidant after all. But I don’t miss the pain.

I’ve wondered when the day will come when I can finally think of you and not feel that affected anymore. And the day’s today. Maybe it’s because I’m in an okay mood now, but for now, let me savour the moment. The moment where I can tell people that I’m not in your life anymore and I’m kind of okay with it. I’m okay with everything now. I don’t hate you anymore. I don’t cry whenever I think of you anymore.

Yes, the memories are still there and they’ll forever be. I can’t change that. But I’ve learnt to cope with them. To accept that people won’t always be there for you. To accept that you can save yourself even though your lifebuoy has gone. You can be your own hero, if you choose to be. You thought that you weren’t strong, but in the end you’ll come out of everything stronger than before.

That’s life.

And maybe it’s hard now. To face life in the face and tell it that you can do it, you can take everything life throws at you. But at the end of it all, when you finally bid farewell to life, you know that you’ve done your best. You’ve survived. Lived, experienced, loved. And then you can leave with no regrets. :-)

And I thank God for bringing me through it all. The pain. Everything. He gave me strength and I’ll forever be grateful to Him for it. :-)

Unwritten;

@10.11am.

GP test @ 10.45 sigh. :/ But I figured that I wouldn’t rly learn a lot from cramming last minute, not that there’s anything to cram into my brain anyway. :( Just slept for around 10 mins lol. But I don’t know why I’m not sleepy still. Maybe I’ll catch a nap later again.

Figured I’ll drop a post here, haven’t been blogging here for so long. Sigh.

Still in the existential crisis mood, heck-everything mood and yea. :/ This is bad. But at least being numb is much much better than sobbing non-stop in the middle of the night yesterday. :C And yet having to tell/show everyone that I’m fine. Hmm.

Now what to blog about aye? ._. First time, I’ve kind of run out of topics… Ugh lost touch with writing :( Haha but I wanna get in the writing mood now, so at least maybe I can write something passable for GP later -winces- Though of course, it will be of a different genre.

Sometimes, one person can make a deep impact on your life and linger at the back of your mind for days, even if to others, it isn’t actually really significant. And that you’ve only met that person once, but yet that person’s actions have impacted you greatly. :/ Or rather touched your heart.

Lol I’m not making any sense, am I? ☹

Dum dum dum. Yay let’s revise for GP essay test.

ISCG, PEST. And 1 opposed point, 3 supporting points, introduction and conclusion. And context, complexity, stand~

Nanana. :/ But will any of this matter, when you don’t have the content? Lol. I wonder.

Rambling done for now. :/ K time to sleep (?!) LOL. Or eat.

And oh, I somehow hope I can see you around school sometimes. It’s hard to explain, but it’s not that way. It’s more like gratitude for a stranger’s kind actions.

Writing and stuff;

@9.46pm.

Although I kind of regret not choosing another CCA sometimes :/ But I’m rather happy now with my current one.

Though it isn’t really bonded, we don’t really meet up, but I can fulfill my passion there. :) The love for writing.

The way you feel the words flow out of your thoughts, the way you are able to put thoughts on paper, the way you are able to learn more about people, about the world, about you.

Sigh, about the issue of T3A…. I don’t know though. Should I run for committee? I wish I wasn’t so scared of interviews ._. Scared that I can’t answer those questions. But if I’ve lived through a nerve-racking guitar audition and several nerve-racking days before that, I can do this too right?

Need to manage my time better. Need to stop getting distracted. I’ve removed people from my life, or rather a certain person. It hurts, but I’d rather have the pain of not having said goodbye properly, not giving you an explanation and suddenly removing you from my life, than the constant plaguing thoughts about you and the fragile balance of the whole situation. I’m sad to lose a good friend though. And though people think it’s wrong that I’m doing it this way, it’s my own way and I don’t need your approval lol. My choice. And I’ll deal with the regrets myself.

C’est la vie. So imma hold my head up high, blink the tears away and say goodbye. :) Live well k, though you won’t see this, I know.

Now for work.

“What about humanity gives you hope?”

@10.24pm.

And now I’m sitting here, crying my heart out. For some reason, my mood just went down. And I’m once again retreating to where I always turned to. My writing place. This place.

My dad isn’t home from work yet, ‘cuz he had to turn back to his workplace when halfway home just now. My mum is tired and cranky and I don’t blame her. She said that this home doesn’t seem like a home anymore, not like last time where my dad always came home at a reasonable hour and how we were happy together, despite financial stuff. And I don’t know. Those words just triggered the avalanche of tears. I wanted to tell her, that that’s the price of reality, the price of earning more, the price of free will.

I’m confused. I’m tired. I’m doubtful. I don’t know who to trust anymore. I don’t know who I can truly tell everything to. I can name a few though. B, PS, SQ. But the point is… I can’t tell anyone everything. Well, B’s pretty darn close to it, but then again, what you said is true. I don’t really know you, you can’t touch me, I don’t see you around everyday. And maybe, that’s the reason. I don’t know.

K on to another thing I’ve been wanting to write about. B asked a simple, yet powerful question just an hour ago. “What about humanity gives you hope?”

My answer at that time was: Simple things GMH, like when I’m talking to close friends about stuff, seeing people help other people, the innocence of children, the rain, my family, even though they rly upset me sometimes. Seeing people stay strong despite facing disasters and whatnot. Knowing that I’m not perfect and that I’ll never be, but yet God will accept me the way I am. Seeing that citizens of certain countries can break past the things they used to have to conform to. Seeing the people around me and esp. those i care about, safe and warm and healthy. Seeing people fighting impossible battles and achieving beyond what everyone expects ’em to. The list goes on.

It’s true. Music GMH. The imperfections, the sad moments, the moments where you feel like there’s no hope, the disappointments, the obstacles. They all serve to intensify the hope you feel, after overcoming all these. Granted, these moments happen almost all the time. But somehow, when you least expect it, people and things appear, unconsciously making everything better, allowing you hope that maybe everything’ll be better one day.

Ahah damn, the tears started up again. And now, the counter-argument.

“What about humanity that puts you down, what about it that makes you feel like there’s no hope for mankind and wonder why you still exist and why you aren’t living?”

Simple. Certain ways of the world. The skewed perspectives. The biased, assuming perceptions of certain issues.

The way grades are forever going to cast a shadow over us. A shadow you can’t erase. The standard that people’s going to judge you by. The school you are in; the elite school or the neighbourhood schools. Today, one of my friends said a simple comment, I’m not sure whether she meant it seriously, but still, it did have some impact on me. Aren’t the people in neighbourhood schools/the elite schools still the same? Well, granted, the intellect, facilities and standard may be different. But aren’t they the same as us? They are able to achieve what sometimes we can’t even achieve.

The way money is forever going to control the world. Control our lives. Control our daily activities. Because ultimately, we all still need money to buy our necessities and to survive.

The way people view homosexuals/bisexuals, etc. Aren’t they humans, like the rest of us? Aren’t they s’posed to have the right to love whoever they want, like us? Why do people ostracize or avoid them at all costs and be afraid of ’em? I don’t get why.

Regardless, though the world seems hopeless sometimes, I guess there’s still a shred of hope in all of us, deep down.

And the tears have dried. Plus my earphones are now blasting the clean version of Perfect by Pink; it’s on repeat. Time to drown myself in my work.

Oh btw, no offence to anyone I’ve offended unconsciously, somehow. Just some discussions or rather talks with B, plus my close friend, plus some of my classmates that brought everything out today. Yea, all those issues written above somehow came out in the talks I had with the people today. This took exactly half an hour. O.O

K bye.

Hmm;

@8.39pm.

Holy shit. Wth. My wordpress had 70 views ytd? What’s with the sudden spammage of views. I’m wondering whether it has got to do with a certain person, hmm. Yea =.= I think it is. -rolls eyes- Definitely.

Anyway… ._. Hmm. I want to study chem. But bio x.x Damnit. Still have loads. I want to type out something actually but it isn’t really appropriate to insert it into this post now. So yea. Next post maybe.

And to the person who spammed loaded my wordpress ytd, though you won’t see this, since you have no record of message history xD But thanks. :) Yknow I’ll appreciate how you regard me as such a close friend. I won’t do anything stupid dear, so don’t worry. Mmm. :)

 

Musings;

@1.01am.

LOL 4,888 hits (Y) Nice number :D

Anw lol latest 2am sleep. If I’m lucky.

Omg damn annoying. Wts my answer is different from the answer behind T_T This sucks. :(

Sigh. Oh well… Homework right.

OH OH OH OMG SILLY ME. THAT’S ONLY THE FREAKING EMPIRICAL FORMULA. WTS. -.- -headdesks-

K BACK TO WORK. I NEED TO FINISH WHAT I HAVE TO DO.

Okay wait, I’ve something to say. It’s rly random LOL. But on the way home, when I alighted from 29 and was walking  towards my block of flats, I’ve no idea why my mind suddenly flashbacked to something that happened in Sec 1. Yea seriously, unexpected. Maybe it was triggered ‘cuz I met a past classmate today? Don’t know.

Well, anyway, I don’t know why my brain’s so random, nor my heart. But I suddenly felt thankful that I learnt that particular lesson in Sec 1. Yes, it was a painful price to pay. :/ And I kind of regretted doing some stuff I did, regretted a lot at the end of 2007 lol. But maybe it’s good in a way to learn that early so that I won’t commit the same mistake in the future. Better to learn it when you’re young, and to try not to do the same thing when you’re older.

Which I’m glad to say :D :D That I didn’t make the same mistake of giving up something important for something so much less important and insignificant. Yup, didn’t commit the same mistake since 2007! Hehe ^^ Which ish good duh~ :) Hmm, wait… I didn’t commit the same mistake, but I did overthink a lot about certain stuff on the same level as that less important and insignificant thing -.- But at least I didn’t repeat that mistake :) So yea, still good.

Uh k, that’s all. Better go back to my work omg. 1.15 alr. ><

Reminiscing; thoughts.

@2.02am.

Head hurts like hell atm. ._. I should prolly go sleep soon :( Haha :x Anw, ignore the last post o.o >< yikes lol.

Orientation was okay, I guess :) got to know my class better etc. :D Last day ftw the most though (Y) Didn’t know that we all could have wild sides :p Including myself :O Maybe it didn’t come out as often as it did during the past 2 years, but still haha. Kind of surprised but still rather relieved it’s still there.

K THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. LOL.

Anw clubbing ftw :) Addicted to all the songs and dances :)

Sigh. Official lessons start on mon… Timetable a bit nice. -.- Really. Oh well :/ Scared too ._. >< Wonder how it’ll all go :( Lessons, exams and all that…

Addicted to songs atm. Especially this remix by New Edition. Link here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pH00rmWOTtU&feature=related

Yup, it shows scenes from the anime Myself; Yourself though which is awesome :) Addicted to that song <3 Has been on replay for almost the whole day heh. It’s just so catchy and awesome. Was trying to resist listening to the mass dance songs just now, ‘cuz I really felt this strong urge to dance when I start listening to ’em :x

Still lots of hw undone oops. I should really go do it ><

And yknow sometimes, people aren’t really what you perceive ’em to be. Deep down, everyone needs someone to be there for them, no matter how badass they seem to be or how strong they look or how happy and outgoing they are. ‘Cuz sometimes, it’s way easier to just hide everything beneath a cheerful and happy exterior, when actually you are dying and being torn apart inside.

Yupyup haha. Oh random talks ftw. <3 Haha, esp. to a person you just got to know recently. Somehow, it just cheers me up whenever someone that comes into MH chat is sg-rean :D LOL.

I’ve been thinking… actually no, moping to be exact >< Like I was wondering what I’m going to do with my life. Heck, I don’t even know what I want to be in the future… :/ Really admire those people who know what they want to be. Much much easier and they’ve got a clear direction.

And sometimes, I wish I was more outgoing/brave/sociable, and be able to talk easily to people and not be so awkward and insecure sometimes. Damn sad seriously. :( >< But at least it’s better than when I was in sec 1, I guess. But yea, sometimes I wish I didn’t care so much about what people thought of me, actually no, not really o.O It just came back recently, esp. with the change in class environment etc. >< Not used to change, and insecurities returning. Damn. x.x I’m retreating more too, back into my shell and becoming more anti-social GG. -.- Didn’t talk much/laugh much nowadays… except with my group of friends lol. I really miss 4J omg :( Zijun, Shuqi, Xiaojun, Shihui etc :/ Really miss ’em a lot…

真的,失去了,才懂得真正地珍惜。Hahah oh well. :O

Eh this post became rather long o.o OOPS. Haha, no one reads this anw, since I haven’t updated for quite long :D I hope. -cross fingers-

Just that… I really really hope I won’t be that lost, that I will be able to find my direction soon. What I want to be, and what I really want in my life etc. My priorities. The people who I care for. Try to adapt to my new class environment. Stop being so insecure and learn to accept myself and all my flaws :) And not to care about what other people think about whatever I do.

And most importantly, stay happy :) Make impacts in people’s lives. For the people around me to be happy too. For everything to be alright. For myself to be stronger, not to think so much about the past. And don’t get into anything now that I’ve moved on from everything finally. :D

Gosh, I feel so much better. Should have typed this sooner huh. -.- Heh.

Time really flies. From a crying, timid toddler @ Nursery and K1 to a-bit-more-mature and outgoing K2. From an outgoing and unafraid P1 to a bit more aware and terrified, yet excited that she was growing up and graduating P6. From a still timid, shy, a little unknowing Sec 1, to a much more aware Sec 2, to an even more aware and not that innocent, yet still shy and quiet around new people Sec 3 to a more corrupted, loud-laughing, teasing others, much more mature and seeing the world through clearer eyes Sec 4. Which isn’t that good, since I tend to overthink more and realise that the world isn’t as kind as I thought it was. But still yup :) And a listener since Sec 1 onwards lol and became more aware/sensitive to other people.

Kind of ironic actually since whatever advice I give others don’t work for me/doesn’t have any effect on me. Damn fail hahaha.

Okay… if I don’t stop, its gotta reach 900 or 1k o.o Yikes haha.

Ciao. :)

@6.44pm.

I’ve put off typing this post for too long :x Got sidetracked and distracted by a lot of stuff. But I’ll try to type this out. And complete what I’ve wanted to say for a lot of days. :p

Yup, was watching one of Shane Dawson’s vids and stumbled across one I’ve watched before in the past, but I watched it again. ._> And I’m still touched and I cried at the same parts again wth. -_-

Link’s here —-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nReOeW1UckI&feature=related <—-

Haha it may be a bit weird and yea o.O But the message’s really clear haha. :) Esp. what the male Shane said. :)

Okay… now to what I want to say. I hope no one reads this ._> HAHA. It’s a bit embarrassing and private, but I need to type it out. o.o So hopefully, since I’ve stopped updating for quite a while, no one will read. :D

Yea. ._> Hmm, after watching that vid, I felt a bit better again haha. Like I was reminded of sth. Gist is –> “You are you. You don’t have to feel insecure about yourself. ‘Cuz does anyone even care whether you’re thin, fat, short or tall? People want to be friends with you, ‘cuz you’re you :) Not because of looks or appearances. If they’re friends with you ‘cuz of that, then they aren’t even worthy of being called friends at all.”

Heh yup. Another thing is that I realised that I don’t need some people to be there. If they want to be, they will. If they aren’t, then I can’t do anything about it anyway. :) I kind of feel really blessed, like really really blessed. Haha now then all the words start flowing out. :p

And that sometimes, those people you expect to be there won’t be there haha. Sad but true. :) Kind of drifting away from a person I was really close to before… but time changes stuff, I guess. Priorities too, and people change with time.

But I realised I can be happy even without some people. ‘Cuz I still have lots of amazing people in my life, like my whole group of friends <3 And MH chat peepz. :)

That’ll be a constant, I hope. :D

I’ll type more another day :o Probably.

Bai. Happy boxing day to all btw :D

Random ramblings;

@1.09am.

I’m considering becoming nocturnal :D LOL. I seem to do work or well focus better when it’s late at night, more quiet and stuff ;o And maybe ‘cuz chat’s quieter lol. Msn too lol.

Well, just typing out some stuff. Bbl. Got to do some stuff first, will continue later :D

@1.36am.

Oops I think I’m treating this as some kind of twitter again heh ;o But haven’t gone on twitter for really long so yeah :x I can’t believe I started doing chinese >_> At this hour. But better late than never ;o Been slacking for really long :/ Anw back to work again.

@2.06am.

Blah blah blah. Sleeeeeeeeeeeeepy. :( Heh, only did one paper today ._. But anw, I actually forgot what I wanted to say…

Oh. Mmm, I realise that I’m getting distant :/ Idk how to really explain but yeah. Idk ._. For example, deactivating fb :/ Lol, and I still can’t help but feel inferior / inadequate everytime I’m in a situation where more academically inclined people or well s’posed to be more academically inclined people, are in my presence. ;o Blah. :( Not making sense. Lol so night. I realise my posts these days are really short ;o and back to FPs <3

Blessing in disguise; grave undertones;

@7.37am.

Heh hi. :) Brought my lappy to school so yupz. Still unsure whether it starts at 8 or 9 though. In the canteen typing out this post. Was s’posed to type this out yesterday actually but yeah was too sleepy and someone wanted me to sleep before 11 -coughs- so yeah. :) Listening to my ‘Westlife’ playlist. ^^

Sigh. Lots of stuff have happened. Maybe not a lot, but my entire life have been kind of been turned topsy-turvy with that piece of news. When I first saw it, I admit I did cry/emo :/ for quite long lol. Couldn’t really accept it at first and I had no clue what to do. Family was furious and disappointed too, of course, especially mum.

I felt so disappointed and tired. It’s like no matter how hard I work, the results won’t ever come. Rly demoralizing sometimes lol.

But over the course of yesterday, last night and now, I’ve come to terms with it, I guess. Maybe it may turn out to be a blessing in disguise in the end, ‘cuz I don’t have to think that much about what subject combination I want to talk, only whether to appeal. Lol. ><

Don’t know. Sigh. Next year will be really different, I just hope I can cope with it. :/ 1 more day. I don’t want this year to end now. :(

K now I’ve no idea whether I should type this in, but I guess I shall… Sometimes, things happen, no matter how much you don’t want them to. People mock you, look down on you, sometimes even your own friends. Hmm, but I guess in the end, it all comes down to you. Whether you allow those stuff and comments to get to you. And I often allow them to. :(

‘Cuz when I look at my life, how the pieces fall into place~ It just wouldn’t rhyme without you~ When I see how my path, seem to end up before your face. The state of my heart, the place where we are, its written in the stars~ :) <3

Sigh. I guess I should end this post now heh. 10 mins more to 8. And we need to assemble earlier.

Bye.
