sorry for being pathetic.
sorry for wasting your time.
sorry for bothering you.
sorry for thinking about you.
sorry for worrying about you.
sorry for caring about you.
sorry for wanting to be there for you.
sorry for loving you.
yet no matter how many times i say i'm sorry, it wouldn't matter. why should it? when i don't even mean it. i'm not sorry for those things.
i'm only sorry that you still matter so much to me.
i'm only sorry that i still love you.
-tbc-
(the above was brought to you courtesy of a fiction story i was and still am writing. stupid thing started out as something i wanted to express a year ago. trouble was that it spawned many many more chapters. what can i say? i'm a sucker for good reviews)
feeling depressed. i think it's because of this massive headache i'm having now.
i need chocolate
i need to get artifically high.

then, i had to go to school. i actually finished it way before i expected to. woke up at 6.50 on friday. everyone was rushing to get ready. Cheryl was so pissed off with dad cos he actually went to bathe. she was going:"what the hell!!!!" then i got out of the house and ran to flag a taxi down. reached school with 5 mins to spare. had a half day because of the Hockey girls.
i somehow feel that there is hope for our pw project.
didn't know what to do after the pw thing so followed Quek home. watched shrek with her. and had quite a nice time.
went to NJ concert with YY then went out with Annabelle, Amanda, Audrey, Ming, Linda. went to Pizza Hut. it was quite funny.
college clean up today. and then piano. what the... i wasn't very happy about going for piano because we were supposed to go watch troy after the cleaning. but in the end, the people didn't go. but still. really want to watch.
Fang Yang told me to go type Wee Chin's name into the Google search box. oh my god. didn't know Mr Professional Sailor was so... pro (for lack of a better word) and in his interviews, he sounded awfully matured. is this really Keith's master??? haha. it is. then for the heck of it, i typed in my name. and there was actually something. because of the President Guide's Award. if not, sure dun have.
i need new shoes
i also found out that my sister is crazy. (from her blog)

had a half day, which ended at 10.35 cos of soccer. we ended at 10 because we finished the vectors tutorial earlier. very cool. went to watch Shrek 2 at cine. it was pretty funny. i liked all those movie references. puss in boots was sooo cute. antonio banderas is a genius. he gives me a very sauve impression. loved him in Interview with a Vampire. and Donkey always cracks me up. loved the "mutant" donkey/dragon children he had. they were so adorable.
when to delta sports complex to watch the finals for Girls Hockey. against RJ. Fariza and Wei Ling (from our senior class) were really good. we won 1-0. screamed like mad. i didn't realise how school spirity i was until vj. or maybe it's because vj IS so spirit based.
another thing. i think i'll be much faster in Onimusha if i didn't get calls from my friends at the wrong time. don't get me wrong, i love talking to my friends. but wrong timing... then there's this frantic saving of the game, the cursing when i'm trying to finish off the bosses. but it's all cool. i don't mind calls. and i was so pissed when i couldn't defeat Gogandantisu the first time. know why? cos no one does the first time. or something like that. i checked it out. whatever. just finished kicking his ass. ha! i need help when i'm getting to the end. allies allies. i need to go bribe more people!
i think i'm getting blisters on my fingers. pain pain pain. but it's worth it!

onimusha: samurai's destiny to finish by friday. (yes! thanks Daniel)i will be glued to the PS2 until friday. shall not sleep much. i will complete it in less than 20 hours.
vj soccer won sa 4 to 1. whee! national champs.
nj concert thing on friday. YY!
basically, that's about it. cept i'm very tired. but will still go play PS2.
Tuesday, May 25, 2004

want to watch shrek 2, troy, van helsing, and harry potter. can you believe that i haven't gone to the movies since feb? such a loser. no la, just lack of time. that's all. especially now since i rediscovered my love for PS2.
i miss my friends. i need a hug. and i found out that green contacts scare people. or maybe the word isn't scare, it's more of a shock. but after the initial shock wears off, everyone starts going, "coooool."
by now you should have guessed that i wore green contacts after i came back home. not sure if i can wear them to school. so i shall not. in the holidays then i wear again. whee.
i've said it before and i'll say it again. it's not nice to play with people's feelings. i have a friend, whose girl cheated on him. she wasn't even sorry or regretful. i was there when he saw her with another guy. the hurt on his face... i wish i could have said something to make him feel better. but i couldn't. all i could do was stand beside him and watch the person he thought he loved with another. when she saw him, she walked over and told him that she wanted to break up. and she looked at me and said very nastily (to him):"i never loved you anyway." and that was the worst thing a person could have said. surely there must have been some sort of feeling for him? and to say such a cruel thing, especially in front of me and the new sucker she had found. needless to say, i felt some sort of vindictive pleasure in watching my friend tell her that she was a stinking two-timer, a spendthrift and a big time flirt and he was better off without her. he even told the new guy:"better watch your back. a person who can cheat on her boyfriend can easily cheat on her new boyfriend." i was quite proud of the way he handled the situation. but when we walked away, he looked a little crushed.
but truth be told, he knew they were having problems. more than once had he voiced his fear that she was only with him because he was older (20) and was working. you know the whole status thing and the money thing. i never met her since he only started dating her 3 months ago. he felt surprisingly okay after we walked to the bus stop. i guess we both knew that yes, feelings had been hurt, but the fact that he wasn't devastated/going to commit suicide meant that his feelings for her hadn't developed until the very crucial "i love you so much i could die for you" stage. and we were glad about that. at least he had found out before it had gotten so much worse.
so why? why can't people just not play around? it's cruel. but life isn't very fair, neither is it a bed of roses. actually, it is a bed of roses in a way, since roses have thorns, but that's not the point. it's saddening that love has become so hurting. i'm not generalizing but it's very terrible to find out that the other party wasn't faithful.
just like it takes two hands to clap, it needs both parties commitment to their relationship for anything to work. one may be willing, while the other isn't. problems shouldn't be swept under the carpet. if you really love the person, you should try. but there shouldn't be force involved.
i think i know better than anyone else how much love can hurt.
but i also know that love is uplifting and all those other qualities. it doesn't take a genius to figure out that it is the people who make the difference in love being hurtful or just plain wonderful.
if only wishes came true.
{-when you say you love me-} -->how apt that i'm listening to this clay aiken song.

in case anyone's wondering, the tie didn't choke me to death. hence, i am still alive to type this in. it nearly did though. i should learn to tie that stupid piece of cloth.
Gladys called me and told me that she and Renny got through the first PGA round. i was so happy. but then again, it wasn't unexpected. still... hopefully it'll be smooth sailing for them in the later rounds.
walked around hougang mall trying to find the Shrek vcd. couldn't find it. was freaking pissed off. until i went to Game 1 and saw they had Onimusha 3. the guy at the counter was demonstrating it to some people and i just stood there for a while to watch. then, since i was the only girl there, he asked me if i wanted to have a shot at the training. oh my lord. the CG was great and it was totally awesome. except that i could only get pass the first training and then i got my butt totally whipped. but i knew i had to get it. only problem was the cash thing and that i don't own a PS2. it'll only be worth it if i had a PS2. but this situation has occurred before. there was also a time when i was debating whether to buy Onimusha: Warlords and King of Fighters'02. in the end, i did. after all, one does have the thing called friends who are willing to lend the use of the PS2 to you if you ask nicely and urm, beg.
but i still wasn't entirely sure. after all, Onimusha 3 was like a fairly new release. (new enough that the cheats for the game hasn't come out online, not that i use cheats but i use them as a gauge of how new the game is) new games are, duh, more expensive. should wait for the price to drop a little.
went home and then after watching tv for a while, (me was being a uberslacker on saturday), went to search again for the shrek vcd. finally found it way back in the cupboard. then i messaged Quek to tell her she could have fun with her gingerbread man. and she went:"You make it sound so... but thanks" or something to that effect. then i went:"I'm like really innocent and hail me." then she replied:" Hail you my foot, be it subtle or not, you're not that innocent. but since you're lending me the vcd, better hail you." yay.
we're all not that innocent
went online and Keith talked to me because he was bored. what am i? some form of entertainment? no la. quite funny. discussed er, the innocence of people. that should about cover the whole conversation.
still thinking about Onimusha. was trying to rack my brains for someone who played PS2 like a maniac. er, avid fan. messaged my cousin for his opinion but he didn't play it. messaged my "PS2 lenders" but i knew they didn't play it. (everytime i played Onimusha 1, they went, "this game isn't my cup of tea." which frankly shows that they have little class). then i remembered that Daniel remarked once in his letters that he was king/master of PS2. so i messaged him. must buy, he said. still... anyway, on the good side is that i found someone who played it! and yay, he'll be lending me Onimusha 2 soon. cos i haven't played it. i can foresee many happy hours at my friend's place trying to complete the game before the holidays start.
this is an extremely long post for a day description.
Friday, May 21, 2004

my sister told me that once. it's even on her blog. and i believe it. i think that we're continuously running a race in life. and the end point is someplace hidden from common sight. anyway, how do we know that we've reached the end? how indeed? when we collapse and die? hopefully not.
another day, another story. the weather is still pissing me off.
i want to spend a whole day slacking. just sitting on the sand while the waves crash in with my closest friends and just enjoying the day. just stoning really. when one ceases to think, it may actually be more enjoyable than anything else.
people's birthdays are coming up and i need money. Gladys has already started her hinting. mum's leaving for Italy on 26 May and coming back 3 June. ha. one day is Quek's birthday and another is my dear Gladys's day. so coincidental
Thursday, May 20, 2004

what can i say about this day? okay, GP test. Singlish is my favourite language. RIGHT. had math where my brain was bogged down by mind-blowing facts of vectors. whee. didn't really understand everything. was distracted by Wee Chin and Keith, (lucky me was sitting between them, or was it unlucky? haha). you know what those 2 people are like. oh! and Jian Yong made a funny comment. there was this vector that was represented by V. then JY said:"OOH... lots of Vs. i like Vs." even if it wasn't that funny here, it certainly was funny then. so lame. i really wish i was as innocent as i was in primary school. then my brain wouldn't feel so screwed all the time. had a lovely 3 period break after that. history where i got back my Cuban essay, 18/25. happy happy happy. then almost fell asleep. maths tutorial, with trigo. wonderful. then it was off to Yishun for a lovely lovely piano lesson. (please note the sarcasm)
comparatively, today was much better. only 6 more school days to the end of school. me and YY going to watch a piano concerto on 5 June. i miss her. i miss Sonya as well. hope she does great against AC in the debates on saturday. i'll be attending a UN seminar on that day, wearing the VJ tie for almost a whole day. death by strangling. i dunno how guys can survive. *salutes*
good luck to my dear Gladys and Renny in the PGA interview. i know you guys know your stuff and will be more than prepared.
i wonder why i'm narrating my days more and more. maybe i just feel like complaining.
to "pumpkin": please tell me who you are. i'm not really keen on the idea that you know who i am but i don't know who you are. thanks.
Wednesday, May 19, 2004

i find myself questioning why i do certain things that i do. and i can't come up with any answers. the heat these days gives me a churning feeling in my gut. the blood's boiling around like nobody's business. i feel like taking my fist and smashing it into anyone's face. anyone interested in letting me have a go at your face is more than welcome. interested applicants can leave a note on my tagboard. haha. jk. jk. but still...
i need an avenue for whatever repressed anger i have inside before it blows up. now we don't want that to happen. but the chain of events that happened are contributing quite a lot. i don't want someone to be on the receiving end of my outburst.
because i care about what i say
because i care about how you guys will feel
because i know that what i say may not be true
because i know that it will hurt no matter if it is true or not
because i know that my actions and words matter
because i know that i'm not an unreasonable person
Saturday, May 15, 2004

some things are better left alone.
some things are just what destiny intended for us.
some times i really talk rubbish.
i don't believe in destiny. i don't believe in letting someone dictate the way i live my life. everyone makes their own choices. and i really don't know what to think anymore.
at the end of the day, i should be asking myself this: is it worth it?
if i say yes without thinking, then i'm either stupid or have gone insane.
if i say no without thinking, then i'm wasting my time.
if i say nothing and think, then i'll be confusing myself even more.
that's why i'm doing nothing. that's why i'm trying not to think. that's why i didn't even ask the question.
-no more deep thinking. just posting my day now-
Quek didn't come to school today and Li Hui had to leave before our pw period. so that left me and the 2 guys. so i decided to try to finish the 3rd proposal before Li Hui left. unfortunately, things didn't go as smoothly as i wanted it to. sometimes pw just irritates me, but that doesn't mean i'm pissed off or really really (to the power of infinity) hyped up. i hate it when people tell me to relax and chill. even the words calm down get me more irritated and more likely to raise my voice. it's just me. but i don't like people doing that. it just screws my whole emotional state. ... because i was already irritated enough. no need to make it a bloodbath.
then i went back to SN with Wei Min. and crapped around. went a little nuts. how not to when all those cuckoos are around? Renny, Sam, Alison, Feng Ru, Clarissa... ya, i know when to let lose to have fun, it WAS fun. that's why i love going back to meet those people. they really bring a smile to my face no matter how bad i was feeling earlier. i asked them about their physics test and it was damn funny talking about it. i really thank God that i have really good friends. *smiles*
it's freaky how my mood can change so fast. but it makes life interesting.
{-Walk Away-}
Thursday, May 13, 2004

the optimist.
either a person with so much faith in the world, or someone who isn't open to the idea of "reality"
(if people are smart, they'll figure out that my mood isn't wonderfully optimistic. i don't think it'll ever be. not after this.)
i can still feel your arms around me.
i miss the times we had
i miss the memories we shared
i miss the little things
i miss what could have been
i miss your laughter and tears
i miss listening to your hopes, dreams and fears
i miss you.
i hate trying but never succeeding. i hate putting in the effort and receiving nothing in return. i hate that whatever i do, to the best of my abilities, sometimes isn't enough. i hate that it comes easily to others but not to me. one day i'll stop trying.
and the windows that were wide open slammed shut.
still, they opened once in a while.
when the thing called hope flew in.
but it never stayed for long.
Tuesday, May 11, 2004

laziness perhaps? and i don't want it to be that way. there are a lot of things i don't want, but i get/have to deal with them. the very things i DO want, i seldom get. it's the reality of life i guess.
back to my previous point
as time goes on, i look back on the "journey of life" that i've embarked on, and i realised that i've had good and bad experiences. who hasn't? and friends make up alot of those particular experiences.
i don't want to lose friendships, i want to renew them. there's a lot of good memories to be had. so what happened? why did we drift apart? it wasn't the distance. some friendships i have now didn't fall apart because of distance. perhaps for some i merely made more effort to keep in touch than i did others.
and still, i feel some ounce of guilt at the thought of the good friends i made but didn't keep in contact with. were they waiting for me to call them? who makes the first move? i think the smart move is to prioritize. who's important in our lives and who's not. those that are important keep in contact naturally. conversations aren't stilted or false. even after many years, when you meet up, they must be people you can instantly connect with. those are the ones who are worth your time and effort to continue a friendship with.
others are merely aquintances. people who had a share in your life's journey. but it was just a minor share. they walked on with their own lives and didn't really tie into yours. there shouldn't be guilt at lack of contact because they probably felt that i didn't play that big a part in their lives as well.
in the end, the people who stick with you through thick and thin are the ones who truly matters. others were just there at that moment.
Sunday, May 09, 2004

actually, i think i AM sick. been sniffling and blowing my nose to pieces. trust me, not a fun thing to do. i think i wiped out our tissue paper supply. great. what's going to happen to me if i need to use tissue paper the next time? toilet paper? that's actually a pretty good idea.
was blogging in school on friday but since it felt so weird, i decided not to post it. just switched my stuff around some. we had pizza. edna tan gave us a treat, which was really nice of her. then we had to do project work. i really think pw is screwing up our lives. she helped us narrow down our scope and i think our proposal is pretty much okay. at least it's clearer now. stayed back till quite late with Li Hui and Quek to finish it. basically, friday was pretty okay. i don't wanna go back to school on monday. i think we have 2 history tests in the next week. my brain will explode trying to memorise stuff. pootie.
Tuesday, May 04, 2004

because you can run but you can't hide.
still, thank the Lord tuesday is over. one heck of a long day.
had a wonderful enriching day of learning. in one ear and out the other.
i proudly proclaim to the world that i love econs! (as if anyone will EVER believe that)
i also found out today that caffeine really screws up my system. i get too hyper for words. i knew i shouldn't have tried to kick the caffeine habit. it's just like a drug addiction you know. once you've stopped for a long time and you suddenly start it again, the effect it produces is infinitely worse than if you had been drinking it all along.
brr... i feel cold.

He rescues and he saves
he performs signs and wonders
in the heaven and on the earth."
-Daniel 6:26, 27
Just finished reading the book of Daniel. now on to the book of Hosea. must remind myself to write the reflection for Daniel if not i'll forget the message for doing so. hopefully, i'll get to the new testament soon. trying to read the whole book but sometimes i can only do 10 verses or so since they're quite good to reflect on. it really feels me with awe everytime i read about the faith the people had in the Lord. it takes a lot to believe without seeing, and i hope that i'll be as strong in my faith as they were. but sometimes it's very hard to do so. then again, no one said it was easy. one has to face their problems and deal with them before it can be said that you've succeeded. running away never solves much.
gah. i think i'm trying to kill myself or something. you know the vampire chronicles? which started with the "interview with the vampire"? followed by "the vampire lestat"? which was then followed by "queen of the damned" and then "the tale of the body thief" and "memnoch the devil"? blah blah blah.
i have the first 5 except for tale of the body thief. but guess how many i've actually finished? two. queen of the damned was rerererereread. if there is such a word. haha. no such thing. i made it up! memnoch was read once. interview and vampire lestat was started but not completed. and then i decided to go ahead and buy memnoch the devil. i also managed to get "blood and gold" for a cheap cheap price. got them today. so that means i have 4 books to complete.
while i love anne rice and her dark philosophy, sometimes i don't understand what she's writing about. it's just too... thinking for me. i'm going to spend the rest of monday and the week on "the vampire lestat". god, i love that man. i WILL finish the book.
remember how obsessed i was with the vampire chronicles? how i went from one end of singapore to the next just to find the vcd for "interview with the vampire"? that was last year in august. stupid vcd was so hard to find since it was produced in 1994! haha, Sonya managed to find the vcd and give it to me for my birthday. so what brought on the sudden interest in the books again? possibly the fact that my sister took them out to reread and the fact that i watched the vcd again.
finished math tutorial but did one only since i think i've misplaced the other previous tutorial. gah. did history outline for which i had totally no idea what i was talking about. did econs mcq. still have literature pc essay to do as well as cold war essay.
i hope i'll do them tomorrow. what can i say? essays scare me.
{-Chained to you-}
Saturday, May 01, 2004

today probably killed my handphone bill. saw all the people i wanted to see and more. crapped with yy when she finally came over. the fun fair was well, fun. but after a while, when the crowd started getting worse, i wished i had the brains to get some food before hand. didn't get anything to eat, only drank stuff. and it was so hot. didn't even mind getting wet. it dried pretty fast anyhow.
anyway, i'm glad there's the holiday come monday because i don't intend to do any work today and i have at least 2 essays due next week. i'll do them sunday, though heaven knows i'm great at procastinating. sick.
wanted to go support the basketball team in their match against SA on monday.... but the problem was that my SA friends all end lessons late. the match would have started by the time they've reached. so most prob wouldn't be going after all. i wanted to meet up with them since i haven't seen them in a long while and what fun we could have cheering for our own school sitting next to each other? =)... especially since we all don't have the time to meet for lunch or dinner or shopping etc. it would be like the time i met Benita in vj to support the soccer boys against tpjc. ( me for vj and she for tp of course). do hope that vj wins but SA's pretty good, since they were second in the nationals last year.
{- Could i be you -}
