seems like that wasnt the last post.
but this is...


i've been thinking.
thinking day and night,
thinking alot.
and i havent got an answer.
two simple choices.
but no.
both with its own consequences.
which has serious implications.
one that gives me happiness temporarily.
but no one noes whether this path leads to a dead end.
do i take this risk?
the other which will leave me heartbroken and stranded all alone in a place so foreign to me.
but yes, my heart may be mended and feelings will fade away...
will i be happier this way?
i wan to run away.
from this hurtful truth.
a really sweet dream.
a long journey that seemed so real.
u spoke about resposibility,
ur resposibility to them.
so what about to me?

you'll need courage to reason.
to reach a compromise.
but no,
you chose to run away.
just like i did.
i cant face the truth.
nor can i accept it.
im struggling.
struggling for my happiness.
yet you just stood there watching.
so helpless.
but i noe it hurts u too...
all i ask from you is simply to just continue holding onto me...
a roller coaster ride it has been

new yr's eve

okay.
this will be the last post of 2007.
it's NEW YEAR'S EVE today!
tml's yr 2008 already.
GOSH.
everything's happening so fast.
one and a half more days to going back to sch.
waking up early every morning.
falling aslp on the bus ride to sch.
hitting my head against the bus window when im aslp.
chiong-ing for assembly with the bballers.
day dreaming during lessons.
trg aft sch!
going home just for dinner and to slp.
and this process is repeated 5 times a week.
4 weeks a month.
for about perhaps 6 or 7 months.
SIAN.

okay.
didnt blog ytd.
so just a rough outline of wad i did.
uncle's frens came to help him re-paint the living room.
so me, my g.aunt, aunt and cousin all zhao.
went to compasspoint for lunch and some shopping.
then just went home to start on my probability tut.
so ytd was practically a boring one.

TODAY!
went to watch national treasure:book of secrets!
well.
it was not bad lahh.
quite exciting!
haha.
just that the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
hmmmm.
didnt really know wad to talk about...
nvm if u dun get me.
went home aft tt.
intended to finish ytd's tut.
BUT ended up blogging here.
hohoho.
still deciding to stay up to countdown or just to sleep.
heex.
it's like the last chance for me to catch up on my slp!!!
=P
okay.
now im going to make a declaration.
JIE QI IS A BAD INFLUENCE!
hahaha.

Saturday, December 29, 2007

it has been quite a fruitful day today.
NO.
it's not bcoz i've touched the rest of my homework.
it's bcoz i feel that today was well spent.
haha.
many funny things happened today!
okay.
we went for the bball frenlies organised by NUS raffles hall.
miraculously, we were early.
so we waited for the other teams to arrive.
we played with nyjc first.
AND
we were known as the xiao mei mei team.
haha.
cause i guess many of us are short?
YES.
u may think im being very critical here.
BUT it's an undeniable fact.
:)
poor us.
den we played with the RH team.
and OH!
i became the clown for a moment;
again.
=.=
i was guarding this opponent whn she already got sub-bed out.
and my GOOD team-mates nv tell me and just laugh at me hor?
>.<
rahhh.
kae.
nyjc won.
then jjc.
there's this person in the jj team who looks alot like ai wei+xin ying.
haha.
and marilyn say plus jiahao.
hmmm.
i agree.
so aft the matches,
we played for a while with jj for fun.
then we had lunch which was provided.
so nice of them!
left for our CIP aft tt.
we took bus 151.
the jj ppl took bus 96 which was rite in front of our bus for a while.
so throughout tt time,
we kept waving to the jj ppl.
and they waved back to us.
anw,
the bus was non aircon and the engine was like spoiling.
then aft a while, we reached a traffic light.
the bus engine rumbled on and off.
for a moment it's loud,
the next moment it dies off.
so i was telling jie qi and lauren that mayb the bus is breaking down.
then when lauren turned to talk to me,
she saw ALOT of smoke outside the bus.
hahaha.
it was very funny if u were there.
so all of us were trying not to laugh but still laughed.
but we also didnt dare to laugh out loud coz we scared the bus driver noe we laughing at his bus.
then we watched the traffic light turn from red to green,
and green to red.
and from red to green again.
and HAR!
we noe no hope liao.
the bus confirm cant move already.
coz at every green light,
it kind of moved forward abit but reversed by more than how much it has moved forward.
hahaha.
so the bus driver told us in a very calm voice tt the bus broke down.
we walked to the nxt bus stop to take 74 to amk.
they slept on the bus.
i was just looking around then i saw jieqi's hands doing something like a pass!
ah har!
must be dreaming of bball.
n i guessed right =)
coz i asked her after that.
hehe.
lucky gt no one sit beside u jq!
okay.
CIP was quite fun lah.
but tiring as well.
i just didnt like moving the stuff.
the collection was fine.
anw,
the funny thing was jq's reaction to a dog that banged itself into the gate.
haha!
coz we didnt see the dog at first.
jq only saw this white thing.
she tot it was a soccer ball.
then b4 she knew it,
that "soccer ball' came flying towards the door and BANG!
she gt a shock!
she tot the man kick the ball at the door!
HAHA!
kae lah.
quite scary actually coz the dog kip barking and barking.
aiyo!
so anw,
we did around 3hrs of CIP.
whee!
not alot i noe.
but at least did a bit!
COME ON!
and b4 tt i was teling jq and marilyn to be more enthu about it.
hehe.
they were kind of shocked this was coming from me.
or was it my tone that surprised them?
=P
the canoenists were quite nice.
they helped us and bought us drinks.
thanks!
we went home aft tt.
wahhhh.
wont see u ppl until sch reopen!
oh man!
tt's quite long.
considering the fact tt we see one another almost everyday for the past 2 months.
hahaha.
k lah.
marilyn, rest ur ankle arh!
ling yi, recover from ur flu!
everyone played well today :)
continue to JIAYOU!!!!
yes!

Sunday, December 23, 2007

well, actually, it's VERY often.
haha.
okay.
i noe, it's just these few days.
well,
maybe im too free?
maybe not.
or maybe it's just i cant hide things inside me anymore?
i wanna SCREAM!
ehh.
nothing much to blog about.
it's xmas eve tml.
but no special programme.
just a family dinner.
kind of looking forward to tml.
but now im not.
kind of pissed with myself for those empty hopes.
leading to disappointment.
but well,
i asked for it, didnt i?
now it's just so so so difficult to communicate.
i lie in bed.
stared at the ceiling.
thought of everything that has happened.
wanted to cry NOOOOOOO!
this cant be happening.
but no,
this is not a dream.
urgh.
i've been typing so much but the inspiration's still not here.
so im not typing anymore.
those phrases i want are just not coming to me.
i dont know if u noe wad i wan....

Saturday, December 22, 2007

"we'll endure everything tgt"
and now u say.
i want to believe you.
yes, i really do.
but how can you expect me to.
when i trusted u to keep ur promises,
u broke my heart.
u sent me to tears with what u said.
hv u considered how i felt whn i heard.
did u noe i wanted to just break down then?
i was all alone.
left wif nothing.
nothing at all.
nothing to hold onto,
nothing to rely on.
you left me after a last sentence.
you left me hanging.
cried.
cried.
cried.
i couldnt.
but i wanted to.
confused.
lost.
tormented.
i asked myself why.
why hv u left,
despite the promises we made.
despite the times we spent.
why were u so heartless and cruel.
despite knowing how i'll feel.
i tried to tell myself this was just a dream.
one which i would eventually wake up from.
and that u wouldnt hv done this to me.
but no.
the fact is that this is reality.
i want not to face it.
i dont noe how to.
i dont want to.
i only want one thing.
and that is still,
YOU.
no matter wad.
regardless of what has happened.

i know.
everything i've typed;
seems to be,
a contradiction.




the sense of insecurity
i really love you.
hurt. but i wont give up.
i noe u're torn between two and it's wearing u out.

holding on

is this just a nightmare;
or has all these time been just a very sweet dream?
alvin and the chipmunks are really very extremely cute!
no.
i wont give up.
i noe u'll hold on too.
keeping the promise.
i noe it's difficult.
but u noe wad im like.
HOLIDAYS ARE GOING TO END.
isnt it sad.
there's less than 2 weeks left.
GRRRR.
stop time please.
i hvnt had enough of fun.
all these time,
it just seemed like i was on a merry-go-round.
returning to the start position with nothing accomplished.
now,
i must get out of this cycle,
and do something meaningful.
crying out in agony.
tormented and torn apart.
i want to clear these misunderstandings!
thinking of u till it hurts.

back back back...
Wednesday, December 12, 2007

it was quite boring there.
but we gt to try some of the products.
hmmm.
den we went to lotte world in the evening.
