I know these are lyrics, so they don't qualify as poems per se, but they still are pretttttty.

You’re the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold.
You're daddy's little girl, to have and hold.
A precious gem is what you are;
You're mommy's bright and shining star.

You’re the spirit of Christmas, the star on our tree.
You’re the Easter Bunny to Mommy and me.
You’re sugar, you're spice, and you're everything nice
And You’re Daddy’s Little Girl

You’re a treasure I cherish, all sparkling and bright.
You were touched by Holy and beautiful light;
Like the angels who sing, a heavenly thing;
And you’re Daddy’s Little Girl

~ Boby Burke & Horace Gerlach

and the last poem of my mini poetry week (I couldn't find the one I wanted, but I thought I'd just end it with a bang, nonetheless.) Go, inspire yourself, and your life (:

Dreams by Langston Hughes

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

Have a great week ahead.

Mr. Big - To Be With You

Labels: Reveries

back to top?

Oh wow. Golly me. Doesn't the picture just feel a teeeeny bit familiar to you? If it doesn't, you're one hell of a lucky soul. Well, I've just finished clearing up some of my old papers and filed them away and I found something that just jerked me back to several memories ago. And it all falls down. It's so ironic isn't it, the situation? Hating someone, yet pretending you'd go to the end of the world with them. Or smiling so sweetly, when in fact you've just bitched about them. Makes me wonder if this happens a lot in Guyworld. From my sources (and they're pretty good ones to boot!), the act of backstabbing doesn't occur very often in Guyworld. They either throw Flucks around or the fists fly. Then they get over it. Read:get over it. Another thing that doesn't happen in Girlworld too often. Anyways, let's look at the art of backstabbing, shall we?

Backstabbing (two-faced, whatever you call it) is defined by my soul companion and friend, Mac Dictionary, to be the action or practice of criticizing someone in a treacherous manner while feigning friendship. Could there possibly be examples of backstabbers that we could refer too? Well you could, of course, look at your own group of friends. But then, that wouldn't be so fun, to actually have to face the facts. Well never fear, Hollywood's near! One perfect example of a backstabbing bitch person is REGINA GEORGE, from Mean Girls. She's all kinds of bitch rolled into one body of perfection (of Rachel McAdams - whom I really love), its kinda funny and scary at the same time. So how can you tell if your friend is a Regina? A 1001 ways. When you realize he/she (hey, you never know, we can't be gender-bent - i guess in the name of gender equality, a guy can be a bitch too.) talks to you with a huge smile, pretends to relate to you on every level, acts like he/she knows you. Normal maybe, but not normal when you hear from the rest of the world he/she's bitching about you. Or angry at you, but somehow everyone else knows it but you - and of course you're not dense, its just that he/she acts like BFFAE around you. Oh well. Of course, it varies, but the general gist is the same. Like maybe he/she pretends to mourn with you when you just broke up with your gf/bf, but next week you see him/her snogging said gf/bf. HAHA.

It feels so much like a typical teen flick plot. Oh well, as jon&kateplus8 says best "it might be a crazy life, but it's our life." Tru dat, tru dat. Really. It's appalling how we human beings behave - even animals seem kinder than us sometimes. Oh well. Still, don't be too quick to go round judging others or your friends. Look into the mirror. Actions speak louder than words - even if you're not behaving totally this way, maybe not 100% backstabber, but reeking with its scent on you, then change. Before you turn into Regina George. Sure, I'm not 100% free of it, but I try my best to be a proper human being and be honest with the person I might be displeased with. After all, if I dare even call that person a friend, I should trust them enough to be able to understand what I'm feeling and be rational about it. Sigh. Rationality... not a common trait in Girlworld.

Just a bunch of thoughts. Enjoy

<3

That (the title of this post) was what Keith told Watts at the end of the movie mentioned earlier. Oh gosh, its so sweeeeet. And it's kind of cool, cos to think this was the grandfather of many teen love movie plots of our generation today. Like that movie was from the era that started it all. The hero-and-bestfriend-hero-falls-for-other-girl-bestfriend-falls-for-hero-hero-realises-he's-been-in-love-with-bestfriend-all-this-while kinda movies. I'm the queen of 80s, 90s teen movies. You name it, I've most likely watched it. St Elmo's Fire, Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, She's Out of Control, For Keeps? (OH ONE OF MY BLOODY FAVES!), Some Kind of Wonderful, Just One of the Guys, PeggySue got Married the list goes on. Oh and not so teen love movies too. Like Chances Are, Ghost, Frankie and Johnny, Only You, The Frighteners, Greedy, Heart and Souls the list DEFINITELY goes on. Haix, I think having cable when I was 4 was a big step into making me a movie buff. I remember, sleeping in my parents room, I'd wake up in the middle of the night and wasn't able to go back to bed - so I'd switch on the TV and watch late night movies on Cinemax or HBO what have you, at 2am and whatsnots. But then I'd fall back asleep, as usual (:

Saturday's poem (:

Never try to trick me with a kiss by Sylvia Plath

Never try to trick me with a kiss
Pretending that the birds are here to stay;
The dying man will scoff and scorn at this.

A stone can masquerade where no heart is
And virgins rise where lustful Venus lay:
Never try to trick me with a kiss.

Our noble doctor claims the pain is his,
While stricken patients let him have his say;
The dying man will scoff and scorn at this.

Each virile bachelor dreads paralysis,
The old maid in the gable cries all day:
Never try to trick me with a kiss.

The suave eternal serpents promise bliss
To mortal children longing to be gay;
The dying man will scoff and scorn at this.

Sooner or later something goes amiss;
The singing birds pack up and fly away;
So never try to trick me with a kiss:
The dying man will scoff and scorn at this.

WAH PIANG super bloody pissed off today lah. YOU KNOW WHY? WANNA KNOW WHY?

It started of okay. Ended ALMOST okay. BUT THEN, wah I was so pissed at the darn taxi stand at Serangoon MRT. I swear I waited and waited for a bloody taxi AND like the assholes just "stole" all the taxis who were supposed to be stopping at the TAXI STAND in the first place but end up illegally collecting customers from the bus stand, which was infront of the taxi stand. It makes standing there totally INSIGNIFICANT.

Sigh.

Lol but other than that, it's all good, maybe even great! Tired though!


FRIDAY'S POEM, SINCE ITS TGIF! :D
I did this for Ms Soh last year. I loved it.


The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.


Make the difference, do something different

Wow, today's just.. so much work in the brain section. Feels super busy. I'm really tired and saturated, but like Yoong told my class today - we have to work for it, and there's still time. I'm like tingly cos I'm excited and at the same time just really really.. worried?

Got MSA2 results back today. Relatively pleased with myself, but I know I can do better. Lit's still scary though.. but what to do? >.< Sigh. But I'm happy. I'm gonna grab this bull by the BALLS horns and make the best of what I can with my academia. I can do it. And you can too - really. Anyone can. It's all heart and work (:

So today's poem before I fly to lalaaaa land.

Today's one is short. Uber. But I hope it inspires all. If you feel down, tired, exhausted, worried for promos, dying from prelims, or whatsnots.

Walkers With The Dawn by Langston Hughes

Being walkers with the dawn and morning,
Walkers with the sun and morning,
We are not afraid of night,
Nor days of gloom,
Nor darkness--
Being walkers with the sun and morning.


Don't be afraid - just rise up (:

Today was okay in school I guess. Mr Soh is CLASSIC when it comes to ACES Day dance. I swear, his face is dreadfully constipated, it's humorous. Or even the whole dancing. He could totally join dance society. Lol He like drank 5 redbulls or what? HAHAHA. Studied in school, ATTEMPTED to study Wuthering but I think I'm much better with Mr. Shakeyshake. HAHAHA. Lol. Anyways. Here's today's poem. I love love LOVE it!

It's by Mr Oscar Wilde. I swear, it's pretty. You might know Oscar Wilde from... The importance of being Earnest, which is funny AND sweet, fyi. I wonder if you'd be as moved as me, with this poem.

To My Wife - With A Copy Of My Poems by Oscar Wilde

I can write no stately poem
As a prelude to my lay;
From a poet to a poem
I would dare to say.

For if of these fallen petals
One to you seem fair,
Love will waft it till it settles
On your hair.

And when wind and winter harden
All the loveless land,
It will whisper of the garden,
You will understand.


Aiye, so sweet. Especially if it's really to his wife. (:

Gotta go pray! <3

There was a time when I wasn't a pain or a nag. There was a time that I was nice, understanding, filial; of course once in a while there are those bad days filled with shouts/pouts/tears. I'd like to think I wasn't always like this, and I'm very sure I wasn't. I treated them once with respect and dignity. Unlike now. I know I'm rude. I know it. It's not like I don't realize that the way I talk to my parents is not the way you talk to your parents. Sigh. This issue turns me to a hypocrite. Like how I may be appalled at other people when they are rude to their parents, but I ought to look into the mirror myself.

But.

Something changed in us in the last years that changed everything; how I treat them included. No excuse, I know. But it's not easy anymore. Really. I know I'd never let my kid talk to me the way I talk to my parents. Irony, eh? But I'd never do to my child what's been done to me either lah. That's what I say now. Sigh. Sometimes it stings, like the stinging pain when someone goes "eh you can talk like that to your mom/dad ah?!" - cos when you know its wrong, when you know that there was a time when the way you spoke to them was different, when you know that you changed, you feel so dreadfully ashamed.

I'm not emo, I'm just reflecting. You know, fasting month does this to me - not just counting my blessings, but counting all the bad things I've done. You might not believe it, but I really was different. Once, a long time ago. At least it feels like a long time ago.

Maybe I'll change. I hope. But maybe I won't. Sigh.

It feels like it's been awhile.. how amusing. Today was an awfully long day, and though awfully long, there's so many things I have to be thankful to God for.. like the food on my plate - somewhere in this world, near or far, there's someone else my age suffering from starvation. Or the safety of my friends - there's nothing else I would've wished for other than their safe return home from the super late night study session. Or the fact that we're all trying our best to make our ramadhan as fruitful together. Or even the fact that some new friendships are forged. I am glad to be here, safe, sound and alive. (I know i sound like some freaking inspirational book or hippie or something, but sometimes we honestly just forget.) I'm so tired though, but happy. BUT TIRED. heeee.

Anyways, I forgot to post a poem up on monday! So I'll post two today!

My first favourite love poem. Like I pine, I perish, I burn just reading it. Or being read to.

XVII by Pablo Neruda

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.


Its just so, oh gosh. And remember to read through the run-on-lines. For those who don't take lit, just read the sentences in each paragraph as you would a normal sentence - from Start to the next comma or full stop! Then you might see what I saw.

Now another one. You may or may not be familiar with it... Fistpumps goes to the one who can recognise it!!!!!
i carry your heart with me By E.E Cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)


If you think that these are beautiful, you ain't seen nothin' yet.

I suddenly remember why it was that I loved poetry oh-so-much. I mean when I think about it, my first glimpse into the beautiful thing called literature (that I now have a love-hate relationship with) was through poetry; it awakened my first conscious effort to understand and appreciate literature, despite the 1000 of books I've read. So I've decided - I'm launching poetry (or prose) week on my blog! From today till next Sunday, I'll post a poem or whatsnots that has taken me on trip from simply reading it, and share it with whoever (if there's even anyone) reads my blog. What's even better is that if you have a blog of your own, post a poem or prose that has swept you off your feet and tag my blog so I can see what makes your boat float! If it's a hassle then its alright, but it'd be great, in lieu of my poetry week (:

Really, there's so many beautiful and moving poems other than the usual ones we have in school for literature. I really thank people like Ms Connie Tan and Ms Mel Tan for like opening my eyes into a whole world of poetry that would've been left unopen if not for them. Ms C opened my eyes, and Ms Mel brought me on a journey - when I was in Cedar.

I'm a big big big fan of romantic poems, no matter the era - Pablo Neruda, John Keats etc etc. But I also like a tonne of others. So we'll see.

The first of the series is...

She walks in Beauty ~ Lord Byron

SHE walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that 's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light 5
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face; 10
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow, 15
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Have a lovely sunday, and I hope to see some poems (:

I think I've gotta SLAP myself. THE WHOLE WORLD IS STUDYING AND WHAT AM I DOING????!#$%^& Hahaha, Hearts smsed me for History homework. Dj called me for maths help. And I'm on my bed, rolling around. Teehee. I'll come back from worship tonight and study k! Lol.

But anyways, I'm stuck with some songs. You know I tried so long trying to find for this song - I mean I can remember some lyrics, but when you really don't know the title, or the rest of the song other than about 7 words, it was really hard. But of course, I found it (:



Oh and I hopped from Sofy's blog and fell in LOVE with Taylor Swift's MV for her song "You belong with me" (: It really was like some MINI chick flick movie. Enjoy, audience.



LOVE! off to my first break-fast (:

You know, sometimes, somethings happen that leave you in a whirlpool of questions and dilemmas. *Sigh* I really had a bad day, Wednesday. Can't say why in particular, but it's taken a toll on my happiness level. I'm still a happy camper - I mean all the NSP is just filled with so much laughter, its crazy. Battlefield ape seh? Barack Obama.. Firqin delivery service.. But it feels like the inside joy has seeped out of my skin. to think its family that does this to you *sigh* Help me find my happy bone?

I'm just trying to be honest with myself. When I'm not home, I'm able to find joy in my friends, think about solving others' problems, maths/econs theories.. but once I return home, I'm left clueless on how to solve my own issue. Tears can only get you so far right? I have so darn many things to be happy about but that ONE big issue at home is somehow able to make all the good stuff disappear. I'm afraid of looking at it in the eye. God, give me strength and enlightenment, please

Think: happiness.

Firstly, I <3 the picture above! I mean its just great! I love taking pictures of everything and anything, and I can't wait to go on a photo-venture, me and an slr. We, me and slr, will be on a great adventure to capture the world in all its glory, from my point of view. someday, someday (:

OHOH my lovely niece had her first day of big girl school on Thursday in Aberdeen! Oh gosh, she looked lovely in uniform - I'm so excited for all the stories she'll share with me, this new part of her life. To think it feels like just yesterday that this bub was crying in my hands in her living room in Toronto because her mom *rolls eyes to my sister* left me with her, ad hoc, for about 2 hours when the bub didn't even know who I was. It feels like just yesterday she stood on a suitcase in my living room, singing "DOH-OH-OH-OH" (doe a deer) to her aunt, uncles, parents and gramps - she was the Led Zeppelin that night, and we her groupies! It feels like only yesterday she played hide and seek with me in Toronto, and when I go "Lara..where are you...", she'll go "I'M HERE!". Hahaha. It just feels like yesterday she was telling everyone about her plight - "Crab pinch me!" and ordering "Ah Kong, take water make sandcastle!". But this bub is a bub no more - she's five now, the big one, and she's growing up fast before my eyes. I'm honored to be her aunt (:


How this little bub became..


this lovely girl, I don't know (:

I lost my phone today - BUT managed to get it back!Thank God But at a price - I missed the USA UK university talk ): Oh gosh, I don't know what's worse. I really wanted to go for it. Maybe I can ask help from that teacher.

Me, Hearts and Superman went to have our last supper. We went somewhere at Bukit Timah, near Beauty World. Yes I get a kick from saying BEAUTY WORLD! I tried to navigate him there, but he chickened out. LOLS. I realised I'm really a Singapore noob, but I figure that its only cos I never had the need to go venture around - my friends lived near me last time and I've always schooled in the central area of Singapore, so forgive my noobness :D We had one helluva supper, for sure. There was so much food, and the bill was, *cough*don'ttalkaboutit*cough* and well we had great fun :D



I'm really excited for the fasting month, Ramadhan. I'm excited for the inner peace I get from it, actively practicing my faith and the love and care I feel during this month from Him. I feel extra special during the fasting month, which isn't just a fast from food, but its a fast from desires and all, and I feel great, making a conscious effort to not chase after materialism or worldly pleasures. It just Him and me, and a million others lah. But you get the picture. It's a time of great enlightenment for me, cos I find something new and interesting everytime, I just can't wait. To be peaceful, and know that you're extra extra cared for. Haix. Of course, it won't be easy. But I'll try my best, of course (:

Oh, I'll post up some photos from the weeks before (:

RIGHT and I tried my ULTIMATE FIRST Redbull on Thursday. WOAH. I felt like I just defied my parents, since my mom never lets me drink it. HAHA.

I think I've got stuff to say, but I just can't remember. Oh well :D

Sometimes love comes around, and it knocks you down just get back up and it knocks you down

I'm not emo on love or anything out of the ordinary - just highly addicted to that song. I think people just remember the whole knock you down bits but what gets to me is the fact that you ought to just get back up. In life, this is probably the only useful tip anyone can give you ~ no matter what -family, friends, school, love, life - you'll never get what you want, but you just get back up when life knocks you down. HAHA. I know, philosophical much, but its true and you know it! Plus, Keri Hilson and Ne-yo's voice is tres magnifique! as the French say! It's been stuck on me for a while now, I hope it wears off soon!

Anyways, today was a helluva day. It started out rocky - Madame Procrastinator (who didn't study for econs, but am pretty clear of the concepts!) accidentally left everything related to today's econs test topics at home, hence last minute studying just didn't happen. PLUS first thing in the morning we had GP MSA. HAHAHA, what a shock, I swear, we did NOT see that one coming for sure! But several good news came ~ absent teachers, pretty shocking econs msa part 1 results, and well NIGHT STUDYING with the Breakfast Club! Hahaha, okay we're no club, but we just tend to study together, and it works, and we do the spiritual stuff too, so its good. I feel like a good girl, and a happy one.

If anything I can only lament about SOUTHEAST ASIAN frigging HISTORY. I mean seriously, SEA HOW BIG, question HOW WIDE, BRAIN HOW SMALL!?@#$%^ Hahahahah. But it was fun studying with the Breakfast Club, even though I feel that I personally could have amped up my productivity level! Oh boy. I'm so scared for SEA. (I know, I'm going off of here in 2 mins to put my fear into some productive work!) WHY CAN'T SOMEONE JUST SHOW ME THE LIGHT OF EXACTLY WHAT IS TESTED?! But I guess its called a TEST for a reason, ah? hahahah :D

Oh crap, I spent my weekend not doing anything remotely productive and I know, its all my fault now. *Grumbles* Hahah, still, I'm as happy as I can be, at the moment. A human being lives and feels as temperamental as the wind, don't you think? I mean sometimes we feel so low and blue, and the next minute, we feel high and euphoric. Life's kinda great that way, I think. That we can feel, breathe and live. No matter how bad we think our life is, it really really, really isn't that bad. 

They say to not have your hopes up unnecessarily cos it only makes you vulnerable to disappointment, but in one way, I can't help it. BUT mostly, like I think mostly, my hopes are where they belong. I'm gonna have a happy few days, I hope (:

Good morning! Bonjour! Guten Morgen! Buenos Diaz! Ahneong! Ohaiyo!



It seems like a lovely morning-ish! Well, it could be better of course - as of now I'm not complaining. I have Hearts looking over my shoulder now! HAHAH (: I think all that waiting paid off. *giggles* For now at least! I know what sweet dreams I had last night..

Hmmm I wonder what causes bad sleep! And what helps? Any ideas??? Usually when I can't sleep I'm either really really angry. Or really really excited. Or have too much work to do. Or the weather's really really hot! I tend to think Milo helps - I think that's cos of OAC and LTC - where at the camps we supper-ed with hot milo and biscuits and the seniors are so cute, like trying to take care of babies. Hee. Hope someone slept like a baby (:

I had a yummy breakfast today with the malay peeps! Been having so many flashbacks of the good times we used to have - like the dikir video etc. All good memories and good fun!

Everyone's reading Wuthering now - no one wants to get kicked out of Z's class. I think she was just PMS-ing the other time. Like we love to say, maybe her husband couldn't get it on she's prolly stressed out. Tee hee.

later, 'gator! back to top?

I swear, if I could see into the future or shit, I so would, cos today I'm extra extra impatient. I reckon Hearts and sofy knows why. *sigh* I just can't help it lah. Stop it jans, STOP.

Okay, I'm a happy camper again! I caught up with my French today! My vocabulary is utterly limited but like my pronunciation isn't THAT bad lah, so yay me! Hahaha. comment ca va? Tres magnifique! I went to Sofy's blog like yet again and watched that wedding entrance video, YET AGAIN! HAHAHA, to think Double-eff/brudder was the first person who shared it with me (: It is the l.o.v.e (:

Anyways, I'm just dropping by. I really ought to get to studying, eh? Boo. HAHAH, how can I when all i wanna do is have some fun?
think sheryl crow people!

I'm having a relatively lazy day, and indie moment. Does that even make sense? Well, anyways, it's just one of those days. Not at all a "I hate my life" day, just one of those lazy days! The Other Boleyn Girl played on HBO Signature today - I swear, if I had to go through what the apparent "nobles" and "aristocrats" had to go through, I doubt I would be sane for very long. Cruelty is one thing that has lived through the trials and tribulations of life, for sure - it's something that goes strong in the veins of men today, still. To have to cheat, lie, deceive, whore, think of power every single day, is NOT the way one ought to live their lives, eh?

Yes, I shall go drown myself in books, in about..10 mins? Hahaha, a procrastinator at heart!

I must say, friends make my world go round (:

I'm a happy camper, and right now, even though my heart tingles a little bit more than usual, I'm adopting the Que Sera, Sera mentality. The future's not ours to see. How true is that? (: I don't know, but I guess I ought to be grateful for the company I keep. It's usually at this moment that some SFC/Principal/VP goes to the mike and asks everyone to bow their head for a word of prayer. Why a word, I never get, cos I can be so sure they say more than ten words, to say the least. I'm happy and what matters most is that I'm happy, the people I love are happy and maybe there'll be less hate and anger and everyone lives in fun and laughter, peace and joy. Okay, rambling. (:

National day pics on FB (:

my 10mins are up.
have a happy day (:

But I'm in love with fireworks - i swear. Its the shit! I've never seen the pretty things so beautiful and bursting - okay, well the last time and the first time I did was in P5 so its been a long while since! There's something about them that just lights a fire in me and makes me burst with happiness (:

National Day 2009 was filled with many many firsts, that's for sure. back to top?

Yesterday was a day filled with all sorts of ups and downs. National Day celebrations in school were alright - had fun, sang songs, as always (: After which Superman, Hearts and I went to lunch at P.S and made our way down to YMCA for my PESA semi-finals. I didn't get through to Finals - the competition was so tight and I was really glad actually that I did join this competition in the end. I met so many talented people, and wonderful people, and of course some people I'd rather not delve too much into. It was a great experience, I should think, and I'm just so blessed. Part of me is so thankful I didn't get into finals - with my MSAs coming and my weird inability to counter my nerves, not getting in is Godsend, cos I need not stress about it anymore. However there's also the tiny part of me who'd love to have made it through - everyone has that competitive streak, no? I'm most thankful to Hearts and Superman for supporting me, couldn't ask for better groupies, and friends (:

Went to Andy's BBQ for 08S26. Oh goodness gracious me, being with them brought back so much memories - the good, the bad, the ugly. It also brought me back to reality, y'know, the painful fact that I won't be able to graduate with them, collect my A's results with them and together shed our tears of joy. I cried so much - tears of joy, tears of longing. I guess to me, I really do believe that my year with S26 was probably the best year I've ever had, and I can say without a doubt that it was truly the best class I had in my years of learning. I really missed them, the jokes, the fun, the stress - everything, good and bad. They were the class that I poured my heart and soul into, and I only wish that the circumstances were different. Eitherway, only the best of luck in everything, S26. You guys can do it, beat the odds, and prove everyone around you wrong. I have only the utmost faith in each and everyone of you(:

Maybe its not fair that I'm not the same person that I was to S26 that I am now to A7. But its really not easy, to go through the process and love them as deeply as I did once. I just wanna support my class now, to not repeat the same mistakes that I did last year. Surely, it's more than enough? back to top?

Did you look at the moon tonight?? It's so pretty, really. It's nice, round, off-whitish yellowish in color. Mr. Moon made me smile as I walked to my door. I mean, I love the sun and all, but somehow a full moon makes me tickle in delight. I think, it's because of the fact that looking into the sun..er.. hurts your eyes. Hahah (:

Anyways, I had a pretty okay day at school today. Better than yesterday I think - yesterday required Ramen Ten to redeem itself! Hahaha, well, I didn't pon anything, I attempted to do all my homework, it was average/mediocre. But as always, the company's good. I had a good time talking to some friends - Julien for example, about my favouritestest thing - BOOKS! :D At the same time, I'm also really apprehensive at my academic progress. Post-CTs. I think I'm suffering from some sort of Honeymoon syndrome - I ought to get off it, and get off it soon. In case you weren't informed, dear J1 of SAJC, promos are in 49 days. Just saying. HAHA.

Still, I had to go get some clothes and stuff from town. And due to some technical difficulties with Hearts, Superman was left alone, so the two of us met up and like accompanied each other. Actually it was more of she accompanying me, lol, I felt kinda bad, dragging her from mall to mall! Anyhow, I was so amazed at how similar and stuff we were, and the fact that we actually clicked! It felt so good! Hahah! And then Dhidhi came to meet us, and amazingly she and Superman clicked too! :D It was fun, and well, we talked a lot about boys, Superman's cousin that's actually Dhi's...er.. BFF(lol) and well, shared DUNKIN' DONUTS together at Ngee Ann City/Takashimaya area! It was fun to see the 2 DHIDHI/didi's talking. Plus we bought so much stuff. AAAAAAH, gonna be so broke soon! :(



I had a great time today, but back to studying! So much to check off my list still ((: back to top?

I really really love this song (: I remember loving it more cos of Santana last time, but now I love the song cos of the lyrics, its just pretty. I wonder why.. back to top?

I love this singer I found online. She's just..*speechless* back to top?

I'm so happy you blogged Hearts! Like FINALLY (: I'm especially happy about.. *sighs* back to top?

You know, I have this undying love for airports, I just do. Especially in transit mode.

Like how I love traveling, my favourite part is usually the actual traveling - it's so weird but I love transiting, even if its FOREVER. Personally, I think its because, I feel like I'm suspended in time, and like there's no future, no past, only present. Also being in airports, makes me feel like I've plunged into the world of possibilities and beginnings; you know, the feel like everything is an adventure, different, and limitless. Paired with the different people from all over going in so many different directions. I don't know, but to me, it's surreal. I guess that's why I love studying at airports - I feel no stress, no pressure, but a sense of peace. And you know that everyone around you has a story to tell (:

And yes, I'm going to the airport later. back to top?

Happiness comes in so many forms, I think. But well the most obvious of those are when families get together for special occasions ~ you remember then what love is. I'm so happy for this family! Congrats (:

Moon river, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style, someday.
Oh dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way
Two drifters, off to see the world,
There's such a lot of world, to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting round the bend
My huckleberry friend,
Moon river, and me. back to top?

just finished rereading a favourite book of mine. Sigh.. back to top?

Its a saturday morning. AND I HATE AND LOVE IT. HAHAH, well, I really really really did not want to wake up. I was like a kid fighting with my inner sleeping-will - it gave up too soon. Whattheshits. Hahah it's one of those really lame things - like really wanted to sleep but couldn't PLUS its a darn saturday! HAHHA :D Oh well, thank God its a lovely saturday morning, or else I'd be in a fit with my sleeping-will.

Oh, so many friends I know is sick - Amy, julianne, asyraf, joyene etc etc - I hope they get better soon soon! I mean I really miss the class in its entirety; its a lot more quiet when it isn't full strength, and besides its not much fun anymore. Oh well. For their sakes, I hope they get better soon. I know that not coming to school for just 2 days is gonna take a large toll on your academics, let alone 5 days or more!

Anyways, this lovely Saturday is going to be filled with yet more love - I have a wedding to attend to. Its not about the bride or groom in actuality, but instead its the groom's sisters that I look forward to meeting. I swear. They're long time family friends, and are way older than myself, but I love them to bits. We have history(: Fact is, when my sister was acting on TV in her days, my mom met another child-star-parent Rahimah, and they kinda became friends for life? Yeah. Post-sister's acting days, they still kept in touch and so on. But the beautiful thing is that they never meet up planned, but almost always end up meeting up, family to family, somewhere least expected. The best part is you can feel it in the air. Like last time when my dad worked in Indonesia, and we met them at Dunia Fantasi (best childhood memories are my Indon days) and we spent so much time together - plus the fact that I basically WORSHIPPED Ain, the youngest of them all - she's my brother's age. My mom and her mom were so close when my brother and her was born - they actually have baby pics of the 2 of them together (: HAHA. Or take the time when my sister finally came back from Italy (or was it London?) and we went to KL and stayed at this hotel, and my sister said "Ma, I don't know why, but can you imagine if we meet Aunty Rahimah here?" - and BAM, who do we see at the Lobby?

I love it, this lovely coincidences that God planned for us to meet. Like how we always meet at town by coincidence and end up like chit-chatting till midnight (: I don't know, but I think they give me a sense of familiarity. A tangible part of my past that I can hold on to, that'll never fade away. Part of me feels such joy just meeting them, cos we can share so much with one another and talk like as though we've never parted. And another part of me feels the rush of old memories that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. This is how family should feel.

So yes, I'm happy for the brother getting married, but I'm more excited for the planned meeting of their family (: It's a first for us all! Plus the fact that Intan (the other sister) is engaged, so there'll be LOTS to talk about. Oh and mummy's flying off to Turkey tonight. I won't lie, I'm excited! :D back to top?
