mood: lazy.
hooked on to: In the shadows by The Rasmus.

my ticket is booked! flying off on the 4th of june. evening flight. and i'm once again lost in this mixed feeling about going back that i always hate. everytime, without fail.
it's the lost & unattached feeling i get whenever i'm away, wishing my friends are around & there are people on the same wavelength to talk to. then coming back to the familiar hustle & bustle, realisation settles in. that things arent exactly as different as i thought it would be. of course, the best thing being my saturdays & sundays! what would i be without City Harvest church.. =)
so at the end of the day i'm still caught in the middle. but bali has proven to be a very therapeutic place nonetheless. i can almost swear by that article i read in the mag a few days ago : stroking your loved one or your pet at least 10 minutes a day actually helps to calm your soul.
in my case, my dogs. HAHAHA.
school starts on 2nd august. and mad & insane as this idea may appear to some, if not most of you, i must admit that i actually miss school life. not the exam part though, thank you very much. but we never get the best out of situations anyway. you give a little, you take a little. sometimes you give more. sometimes you take more. life.
so i end.
those who've been bothering to pop over, 'til then.
have a great holiday!

mood: suffocated.
there goes my monday.
intended plan was to watch Troy with this friend who said that she would call me yesterday to re-confirm. in the end, she did not. i ended up being the one who called. a few times all the way til when i was getting ready to go to bed. couldnt get her at all. called again a few minutes ago (which was the 2nd time today), at which time i was all ready to blow my top & give her her well-deserved wake-up call that my life does not revolve only around her.

so, she picked up the phone. & the first thing she said was, "so how?"

i said, "so, do u have anything to say to me?"

and she went, "hah? i thought you were supposed to call me yesterday about today?"

*breathe in*

surprisingly, i didnt flare up after all. in fact, i dont even think she knew that i was fed up. and it was surprising because this is probably the hundredth time that she stood me up, the last time being only 2 days ago. and you would think that she would be sorry (quote) enough not to do the exact same thing so soon. 2 days. man, i'm so convinced that she's truly sorry. honestly.
and why do you think i took leave from work today? i could have made my way to work & earn myself another 30-40 bucks rather than sit around & wait for a half-hearted phonecall.

but i kept my cool. seriously, i amaze myself. so often i get myself so pissed & boiling inside that i would think there was no way that i wont vent it on that particular object which was the source of my distress. but when the time comes somehow i just always manage not to. which i guess is both good and bad. the bad thing being, people just think that i dont mind. people think i dont care. but if you would care to re-enter the earth's atmosphere and exit your little world, guess what. i do.

i'm sick and tired of people who say things and dont mean it. say they'll do it and they dont. i'm sick and tired of people who keep me waiting like some idiot and yet in the end never fail to prove that i was in fact aimlessly waiting for something that would never come. i'm sick and tired of people who always take me on a rollercoaster ride. bringing my hope so high only to kill it and then bring it up again. fun to you? it isn't to me.
do me a favour, will you just let your brain do a quick check with your words before you let it out of your mouth.
things you carelessly say, it may not mean anything to you. but guess what. it meant something to me. and i jolly well am sick and tired of you thinking that i'm just some trash can you go to when nobody else is available.
so the next time you open your mouth, think again, whether it would be better off shut.
i'm sorry if you think this is a mean entry. but before you judge, please bother to put yourself in my shoes, and tell me how would you like to be treated like that. complete with a big fat cherry on top.
you think i'm not being a friend enough? tell me what else is there that i have not been willing to give. you think i'm being unfair? tell me if you know what it fair.

good day to you.

hooked on to: Fallen by sarah mcLachlan.

nothing much to blog about. except how sick i'm becoming. i hate this. absolutely & totally. been sneezing & coughing & wasting tissue paper like nobody's business.

wednesday is my favourite weekday, man. :)
yesterday's bible study was great. if only every day is like that. haha.
youth conference is coming soon. pretty much the reason i'm still rooted here at this point of time. *excited*

going to yenny's house later. wanna see her new apt. it sounds so fun to be living all on your own. of course precautions must be taken so that we can avoid dangerous incidents like. ehem. burning your kitchen.
mwahaha. it's always been a dream to have my own personalised home. which probably explains my obsession with furniture shops.

in transition
i had a dream last night.. vividly remember faces and thoughts. but it was agonising nonetheless. i wanted to push my blanket away & get out of it. but i didnt.
i hate dreams! it leaves you so restless when u wake up in the morning, dont u think?

i've been having very disorganized thoughts within my mind for a very long time.
recollections. joy. expectancy. uncertainty. hope. doubts. questions. answers. questions. questions. questions...
i think i'm in a major transition period in my life. it would be nice if i dont have to go through this alone but i guess in life sometimes you dont get to choose. you dont get to bargain on how you enter the maze. you can only cling on to the promise that you'll get out of it whole. stronger. and more beautiful in His eyes.
gone are the days of emotional & spiritual picnics. the road ahead is long.

i dont even know how to write this post properly. disorganised indeed.
then again, it's interesting how i always seem to accidentally stumble upon songs that when pieced together somehow echo my life.
so instead of killing my brain cells & trying to put my heart & soul into this entry, in vain may i add, i'll let them do the job.

welcome back to s'pore alexieee!! i wanna go for mission trips too.. :(
it's such a joy to hear about the encounters he had there! truly, God is good ya?

on a lighter note.. MY HAIR.
yeap. scrape the on a lighter note. hahaha..
i think it's improving. it's grown a little so it looks more kept now. & i've grown kinda used to it too. but i still look like total shit every morning i get out of bed & look into the mirror. i always think to myself: oh God, i wanna DIE..
but yeah..getting better. but still, i'm NOT going back to that place again. period.

Rise and Fall
by: Craig David
sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
and it seems as though the writing's on the wall
superstar you've finally made it
but once your picture becomes tainted
it's what they call the rise & fall (x2)

verse 1
i always said that i was gonna make it
now it's plain for everyone to see
but this game i'm in don't take no prisoners
just casualties
i know that everything is gonna change
even the friends I knew before may go
but this dream is the life I've been searching for
started believing that I was the greatest
my life was never gonna be the same
'cos with the money came a different status
that's when things changed
now I'm too concerned with all the things I own
blinded by all the pretty girls I see
i'm beginning to lose my integrity


sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
and it seems as though the writing's on the wall
superstar you’ve finally made it
but once your picture becomes tainted
it's what they call the rise & fall


verse 2
i never used to be a troublemaker
now I don't even wanna please the fans
no autographs, no interviews, no pictures
endless demands
gave in to vices that were clearly wrong
the types that seemed to make me feel so right
but some things you may find can take over your life
burnt all my bridges now I've run out of places
and there's nowhere left for me to turn
been caught in compromising situations
i should have learned
from all those times I didn’t walk away
when i knew that it was best to go
is it too late to show you the shape of my heart?

sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
and it seems as though the writing's on the wall
superstar you've finally made it
but once your picture becomes tainted
it's what they call the rise & fall
(x3)

Drifting
by: Sarah Mclachlan


You've been gone so long all that you know
has been shuffled aside as you bask in the glow
of the beautiful strangers that whisper your name.
do they fill up the emptiness?

Larger than life is your fiction in a universe made up of one.

'cause you have been drifting for so long
I know you dont want to come down
But somewhere below you there's people who love you
and they're waiting for you to come home please come home


You walk in a room and the world stops to stare
You mesmerize all who are caught in the glare
of the spotlight that follows wherever you go
does it light up the emptiness?

Larger than life is your fiction in a universe made up of one.

Chorus


oh well, as you probably would have realised, i'm momentarily quite obsessed with sarah Mclachlan. wait. correction. obsessed is too strong a word.
attracted.
frankly not all the songs in the album are that fantastic to hum to. but there's something that appeals to me. the attraction is an indescribable thing. :p

i probably will not be using this comp much from now on.. my uncle is irritating the living daylight out of me as he thinks that msn is probably the most abominable software created in the name of effective & instant communication. thus the suspicion and accompanied nagging which surfaces everytime i'm seen anywhere near the comp.
i didn't know males are capable of nagging until this one comes along.
okay lah.. i know that this comp isn't my property at all.. so i give in. yah?
but then again, me+resolutions = ineffective functioning of self.
so we shall see how it progresses. no?
haha.

more than words could say...
college day sucks. it does.
the problem doesnt lie with the programmes. it lies with me.
sitting there amongst people i dont know, i felt so intensely lonely. yes, laugh at me. i'm laughing too.
sometimes certain things in life set me wondering. i should have been happier.
my college days should have left much to be treasured. but it hasn't.
is the blame solely mine? the last time i checked, i remembered how hard i tried.

"You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends
that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people
you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the
most important ones.One minute, you are
insecure and then the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest
force of your life.
You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly,
change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life,
but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and
there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.
You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such
damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone
decent enough that you want to get to know better. "

__frm some forwarded email.

i'm so tired. so weary of pathetically clinging on to what little there is left which is costing so much of my being. i wish i could let go. let loose a screw or two.
sometimes it seems, when i thought i couldnt go down any further, the ground beneath falls again.

i cant believe how strange i was behaving yesterday. somewhere deep within, i was watching myself acting like i was being poked all over. avoiding gazes.
and i was thinking to myself, hey, what was that for? hey, why are you doing that? hey, go over & say hi. hey, for goodness sake, what is your problem??
I think i saw rudy. yah. i knew he was gonna be there. he told me he was. but i just rushed along. an exclassmate caught up with me. but nothing much could come out of my mouth. i saw mr. bernard lee. geez. i pretended not to see (and i've no regrets).
i came out of lt4 and wanted to head straight home. lo and behold. divyan was in front of the door. i was mildly surprised. but not enthusiastic at all. i wanted to hammer myself. WHAT IS WRONG? this is one fella i'm supposed to have craploads to talk to about.
so i finally got out of college. two guys carrying backpack were walking in front of me. one turned around. (seriously, people. do u actually turn around out of the blue while you walk??)
it was mr. chan. and i was thinking, my God!! cant i just go home alone?????
i felt so hypocritical. my smiles were so fake.
a perfect chance to catch up with people. i blasted it.

Mrs. Ho talked too much. honestly, who really cared about those statistics? what next?
...and we are proud to announce to you that our college has.. *counts* 4 toilets which never have tissue paper. so you might want to make sure you bring your own before entering. thank you very much.

went to get a haircut at REDS today. which CONVICTED me never to visit that damned place again.
i walked out of the place looking like a butch. and the fella who washed my hair seemed as though his mission of the day was to crack my skull in the process.

to cut short, today wasnt really a good day.
retail therapy didnt work. how do i know? i tried.


"From the end of the earth, I will cry to You. When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I..."


Song: You Raise Me Up
Artist: Josh Groban

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until You come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up, To more than I can be.


There is no life – no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up, To more than I can be.

you can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.
it's such a blessing to be able to give. :)

had a great sunday today. celebrated lydia's bday with the chocolate cake from breadtalk. nice! were left with 1 slice & huiru & darcy threw it away. what is this????!!! i hate insensible food wasting. seriously. i mean i'm not even gonna mention the starving children in Ethiopia but come on.. what sense is there to dump a perfectly edible & delicious food to boot in this case.

i feel sorry for that slice of cake. -__-

and did i mention they threw away this big piece of strawberry on top of the cake too. you dip it in chocolate & it's worth a dollar you knoooowwww.. (gid bought that at esplanade. a DOLLAR for one strawberry.)

anyway.. laughed so much today! a great deal of being laughed at too.
gideon should know better. hah!
