Aku Bukan Untukmu...
Dahulu kau mencintaiku
Dahulu kau menginginkanku
Meskipun tak pernah ada jawabku
Tak berniat kau tinggalkan aku
Sekarang kau pergi menjauh
Sekarang kau tinggalkan aku
Disaat ku mulai mengharapkanmu
Dan kumohon maafkan aku
Aku menyesal tlah membuatmu menangis
Dan biarkan memilih yang lain
Tapi jangan pernah kau dustai takdirmu
Pasti itu terbaik untukmu
Janganlah lagi kau mengingatku kembali
Aku bukanlah untukmu
Meski ku memohon dan meminta hatimu
Jangan pernah tinggalkan dirinya
Untuk diriku
Sekarang kau pergi menjauh
Sekarang kau tinggalkan aku
Disaat ku mulai mengharapkanmu
Dan kumohon maafkan aku
Aku menyesal tlah membuatmu menangis
Dan biarkan memilih yang lain
Tapi jangan pernah kau dustai takdirmu
Pasti itu terbaik untukmu
Janganlah lagi kau mengingatku kembali
Aku bukanlah untukmu
Meski ku memohon dan meminta hatimu
Jangan pernah tinggalkan dirinya
Untuk diriku

Leprechauns, pots of gold and unicorns, rainbows and elmo...(don't ask)
And yes, I have never had anyone cry for me in front of me. it's a very, very distressful situation. not to mention hesitant and filled with pregnant pauses. everyone walking past prob thought i made her cry or something. u ah. and i swear, i felt totally helpless and pathetic, just sitting there watching ur friend cry her eyes out for you, cos of what u did. it was seriously, a life experience. so thanks for that. no seriously, not joking. thanks for opening my eyes and for showing me that people do give more than a flying shit about me, and about what i do...and thanks for saying all that you said, and i think today was really a meaningful day for both of us, as we learn more about each other as friends.
So yeah, today has been a highly emotional day for me...like seriously. i so did not expect anything of this sort when i walked into school this morning, on a frigid, blustery morning when the weather was exhibiting signs of inclemency. ooh its starting to sound like how my narratives usually sound. yay! haha. ok then, i said i wanted to sleep by 12 tonight. look what happened to that. so annoying la. tomorrow i got banner painting again. so fun la...our NDC banner is so awesome (nice one babe <3)>

Lately...
Behind These Hazel Eyes! sorry, thats the current song playing in WMP, and its my ALL-TIME FAVOURITE song. sigh. ok random. i just spent 2 hours of my life cracking my head on GPP for PW with my group over msn...and it was super unproductive. on my part at least. oh well. i have now come to a blogger's block. haiz. what is my life coming to? all i see is work, work and more work for the next 2 years of my life. just now i checked the admissions for medicine (for the umpteenth time, yes) and this time i checked the grade profile of the 2009 cohort. 90th percentile? AAA/A. 10th percentile? AAA/A. how 'A'wesome is that? it means even the bottom 10% of the cohort had straight As. awesome. and then i'm thinking, hmm, a lot of NJ students had straight As. then i think, well they probably worked their asses off. which is NOT what i'm doing NOW!!! i'm. screwed. for. life. ~

Life thus far...
So yeah, that's about it so far. i'm desperately catching up on work. oh and everything that happened above has been happening together with our increasingly tiring and crazy trainings for ARISTAL, so in addition to everything, i've had to memorise my dance, and been getting sore feet. like seriously. i realised i couldn't walk barefeet that day cos my feet were so sore. lol. but yeah, luckily i enjoy dance so much. and ARISTAL is this coming wednesday, so hopefully, i'll be able to go back to my work. i can't wait for aristal. i swear. its full house, all tickets SOLD OUT. i'm like a performer, the dancefloor is my stage. better be ready hope that u feel the same...all eyes on me in the centre of the ring, just like a circus! haha. cldnt resist.
Which brings me to my next major point. KELLY CLARKSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!! it was totally awesome. like seriously la. i think i just died when she started ok. after waiting about 6 years for that day, i was like. WTFFFF. i cant believe kelly clarkson, my idol, my goddess, is singing her lungs out in front of me. and it was an absolutely perfect performance. every note hit was perfect. her rapport was excellent, her attitude impeccable. i'm just full of praise. only criticism: she should have sung the songs from the prev album, and before that more. like not just medleys. but the full song. and dun acoustic some songs. some songs need to be rocked out. like Behind These Hazel Eyes. that is my all-time fave KC song, but she did it acoustic. i mean, i knew la, since i'd already seen the setlist, but still. so sad. and she needs to sing more songs from my december. like seriously, thats my fave album from her. that record is just so emotionally chilling and spellbinding. but yeah ok. too bad i missed her my december tour in perth. remember that one? haha. yeah. but omg. it was A-MAY-ZING. haha. okies, thats about it for now.

School...Suay...Diao...
Right, so that was the orientation. it was rly fun. then the last 2 days, including today, have just been lectures. intro lectures. but still, the bio teacher got started on carbohydrates yesterday, the chem and KI teachers got started on stoichiometry and epistemology respectively today. and the chem teacher alr gave us homework. that naggy, anal bitch. haha. anyway, managed to complete the homework during the 2 hour break. haha. i love lecture timetable. so slack. im so not looking forward to tutorials and full timetable. so yeah. but yeah, i think lectures are fun. i think im gonna fail everything if i keep sitting beside rachel haha. we're like, laughing through every lesson. ok nvm. on to my ultra, uber suay day today.
So today, after friday prayers, i went to orchard with linus to get his lit texts. omg, i swear orchard was empty. it was freaky. and there werent any students. not even sec sch students. i think its with great regret to say that orchard goers died out with my generation being the last. my juniors are so not cool. haha. ok divagation aside. yeah so after that, i was supposed to like meet my OG at KAP for an outing, but cos i took so long, they wanted to go play lan at beauty world. so i went to beauty world, walking around that sleazehole (oops), then i call rachel and she tells me that theyre not at beauty world, theyre at bt timah shopping ctr. i was like, ok, wher is that? so she picked me up, then we went to this cool cafe. half my og were alr there. so we just sat there talking, playing crazy games, making fools of ourselves. it was so much fun. haha. then i had to leave early cos i had to collect the tix for airshow tmr, since they were under my name. and so starts the ultra suay adventure.
Rushing out to get to the other side to take the bus, i accidentally go up into BTSC, instead of BW, like im supposed to. usually, zh brings me ard when im there, so i forgot. haha. so i was running around, trying to find a way ard. then, as i find the way, and am crossing the overhead bridge, i just missed 171. then i had to wait like, 3 eternities for the next one. my god. and i had to make it to dhoby ghaut by before 8. it was like, 7.25 when i got on the bus. yeah i was so screwed. then i got so pissed, i got off at newton stn, and took the mrt to dhoby ghaut. then, of cos when i get there in the nick of time, the sistic counter is down, their systems are down. i was like, shit. so then i called sistic, and they told me the only agent left open was the one at indoor stadium. i was like, are u serious? haha. so then i took the train to ct hall, to change to EWL. then as im boarding the EWL to kallang, my bag gets caught in the train doors cos the stupid caucasians in front of me were taking their freaking sweet time to get aboard. so i was like trying to force the door open. luckily, it opened, or id have died. haha. then so paiseh. so yeah, then i go to kallang. then, i miss the bus that goes to indoor stadium. i could cry. it was like 8+ liao. so i waited like, another 10 eternities for the next service 11, then i got off at the wrong stop. so i had to walk (alone, in the empty stadium compound, in the semi-dark) so freaking far. then i was searching for the sistic booth. after finally locating it, i went to collect. but they said i needed my mums credit card. but my mum'd already tried collecting, and they said they needed my ic too, so my mum told me to collect. then the lady was so nice, she made an exception, cos i like, explained my situation. so lucky ah. then she was like, just bear it in mind in future. and i was like ok, sure, thank you so much. i think she saw that i was like, half-dead already. haha. so then, FINALLY i got the much coveted tickets. tucking them safely away in my file, i proceeded home. not that it was over. i couldnt find another bus stop, so i went back to the one i alighted at, cos it was a loop, thank god. then the bus dropped me off in the middle of a buspark opposite kallan mrt thank goodness. then i take it to ct hall, then buy macs and take a bus home. and here i am. omg.
That was a totally unlucky day for me, don't you think? what did i do to deserve it? haiz. haha. ok. thats about it then. im going to the airshow tmr, will see if i can get some pro pics. haha. k chillz! ciao~

Dies irae, dies illa...
Yes, back to the utterly cheerful subject of my impending doom (forgive the cliche) tomorrow. i am truly waiting with bated breath, and i will be very much astounded if i do not have a nervous breakdown tomorrow, while awaiting my results. it has been very, very stressful these past 2 months. and to tally, i have had 4 dreams/nightmares about tomorrow in the past 2 months, while awaiting my results. i must admit, it has been very tense. i really cannot even begin to envision what the atmosphere will be like tomorrow. well, undoubtedly it will be tense, anxious et al. but i really do wonder as to my state of mind tomorrow. i'm quite glad i've managed to hold the panic attacks off well enough; i was definitely not this sanguine on the eve of my first paper last year. perhaps i'm improving at this sangfroid thing. i suppose it will stand me in good stead in the future.
Oh, and there's another uncertainty. the future is a shifting thing, constantly in motion. and i have never really had such an affinity for change. being the obdurate taurean i am, i am highly resistant to change, and i cherish constancy. sadly however, as we are all aware of, change is the only constant in this world. oh paradoxes. i love them. i still remember arguing with my teacher abt them in literature class 2 years ago. haha. oh such memories. nostalgia. lol. i feel so old, reminiscing about my times in school. it was only the past 4 years. ah well. i figure i'd better go and get some shut-eye now. i'll require every ounce of energy and willpower, and strength to brave tomorrow, hopefully without trauma. so cheers. night! best of luck to everyone!~

I don't need more friends...
Never say never because you don't know what the future will bring and you don't want your words to come back and haunt you. But I'm going to say this anyway: I'm not on Facebook and I never ever will be. Two hundred million people around the world have signed on to this 'social networking' website where friends can hook up with one another. They can post messages and the goings-on in their lives for their friends to see, upload photos of themselves, send virtual gifts and take part in quizzes. All around me, friends, colleagues and relatives have hooked up, even those who had vowed not to do so. They love how Facebook allows them to keep in touch with current friends and reconnect with old ones. 'With my closer friends, I always have a window into what's going on with their lives, even if it's just a one-line update that they are stuck in Bangkok,' says a colleague. 'Sometimes, there'll be something they saw or read and got excited about that you will want to comment on and vice versa. For that brief moment, you guys are back in touch and exchanging views and gossip without having to arrange to meet up for two hours over coffee.' A friend notes how Facebook allows people who are shy socially to be better understood. It was through the site that she found out a friend had a miscarriage and how another coped with her depression. It also helped her get over the death of her dog last year. She posted a photo album in memory of him and was comforted by the comments left for her. Other fans cite how Facebook can be used to network and for parents to keep track of what their children are up to. So, if Facebook is god's gift to friendship and social harmony and 200 million people are having a ball cementing friendships in cyberspace, what's wrong with me? Why am I resisting? Five reasons: I have enough friends already, thanks. I value my private space. I don't want to feed my voyeuristic instincts. The posturing one sometimes sees in Facebook makes me cringe. My time can be put to better use. First off, 'friends' on Facebook aren't necessarily friends as we know the word but people who have agreed to allow each other to have access to their sites. It's impossible for anyone to have hundreds of 'friends' in real life but in Facebook, it's not uncommon. Almost anyone can be your friend. Just click and say 'yes'. And so they come knocking: primary school friends, secondary school friends, junior college mates, university acquaintances, work friends, ex-cubicle colleagues, army mates of ex-boyfriends and so on. A colleague found himself with 62 friends after just two weeks on Facebook. He said 'yes' because 'I guess that was the only polite thing to do and it also felt good to have 60-plus friends without trying'. Leaving aside how the notion of friendship is being devalued, I don't think I can cope with the idea of my social circle growing at such an exponential rate. Maybe I'm small-minded and small-hearted, but I'd rather keep my group of friends as it is - small and select. True friendships require maintenance and already it's hard work sustaining those I have in real life. Do I want to expose myself such that 'friendship' is expected of me from former classmates I no longer desire to be in contact with, colleagues I don't wish to know better, work contacts I have zero inclination to convert to friends, and acquaintances who should remain just that? The beauty about real-life friendships is that they can die. As we move along in life, some friendships fade, others expire and there will be those you deliberately erase. People change, you change, it's sad we're no longer friends but it's nothing personal. How exhausting, then, to have all manner of friendships resurrected and indefinitely too. Of course, you can decline to 'accept' a friend on Facebook but it will be churlish. You can also 'delete' a 'friend' from your site but people rarely dare do so for fear of offending the person. That's another reason I'm anti-Facebook - I don't want to waste emotional energy angsting over whether I'll upset people who don't even matter to me in the first place. The pettiness involved smacks of primary-school politics. There's also the issue of privacy and private space - mine and that of 'friends'. It's one thing to share my thoughts and photos with my 'real' friends on Facebook, but the site also allows Facebook-level friends access to them. It boggles my mind how people have no qualms uploading their photos on the site. Don't they realise how the pictures are so easily accessible, shared and even abused? And once they are shared, forget about deleting them ever. That photo of you drunk and puking in Zouk which you - or a 'friend' - posted? It's going to haunt you when you're a 40-year-old mum. The other day, a colleague and I got to talking about a friend of a friend. I wondered what that person looked like and, hey presto, a photo of her landed in my e-mail. It had been retrieved from his Facebook. No harm was done and I appreciated the photo, but I wonder if she would too if she had known. The other thing I dislike about Facebook is how it feeds the voyeur in me. In the name of research, I borrowed a password to enter the site and found myself delving into the lives of people I knew and hardly knew. I'm ashamed to admit it, but a lot of ungenerous thoughts surfaced while I was checking out their albums. Hmm, is that how her husband looks? Not quite the Prince Charming I'd imagined. Gosh, what an ugly jacket she's wearing. Why is he posting those ridiculous photos of himself? What's with the gallery of happy-family photos? What's she trying to say and prove? I didn't like the conversation going on in my head and was glad to log off. The thing about Facebook is that there is a certain amount of posturing going on. People are making a public statement about themselves after all, from the profile photo they decide on (who uses a passport picture?) to the comments they post. It's amazing the amount of effort some put in to depict how successful, smart, happy, trendy, popular and well-travelled they are. I find this pretentious and off-putting. Which leads me to my final point - life's too short to be stuck in front of the computer for more than it's necessary. Already, I spend more than 60 hours each week staring at the computer screen either at work or at home. That's more than 35 per cent of my life. Having Facebook will mean more hours. Don't I have better things to do, like going for a run or picking up bowling or gardening or knitting or whatever? To each his own, of course, and clearly Facebook is a godsend for millions of people. It builds friendships, alleviates loneliness and even gives meaning to one's life. It's just not for me.

My Sun in a World of Darkness...
My own Sun, my brilliant star, i hope and pray that you will always be with me, and even if the universe as we know it were to end, i know your light will continue shining into the darkest spaces of my heart. for teaching me to love again, to see this world as it truly is, for showing me life as it can be, there can be no remuneration or repayment for that. therefore, love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind. forgive the quote, but i felt it requisite. and for that, i love you the more. you shone your light just in time to wake me from falling into a bottomless pit, a veritable black hole in the iciest, deepest and darkest reaches of space. your gravity holds me in the celestial dance, and i don't feel like i'm falling anymore.
With each step we take, i grow less diffident of the winding path before me, because i know i will not traverse it in solitude, but with your empyreal radiance which reinvigorates me, and shields me. and i pray too, that i may do the same. and that this happiness, bliss, felicity will remain ours.
DISCLAIMER: NO ONE IS TO ASK ME WHAT THIS POST MEANS. IT'S OPEN TO YOUR INTERPRETATION, BECAUSE I WILL SIMPLY REFUSE TO ANSWER. CHEERS!

Australia...
Ok sry. moving on to sydney. i loved sydney much more. btw, to get to sydney from melbourne we took a train ride. 12 fricking hours. "oh it'll be fun, you know, take the scenic route" yeah sure. 12 hours that drove me insane. god i'd never been so glad to step out of a freaking train. thank god we went first class. so i got to sydney on friday night, and over there, friday and saturday nights are apparently party nights for the denizens of sydney. and my hotel was in a very...interesting shall we say, district. lets just say that the moment i walked out of the hotel to explore my environs, all i saw was wild revelry and pomp. thats a very nice way of putting it. it was scary at first, and a bit overwhelming for this conservative, Asian-born boy (those of you coughing and choking, shut up =p) . after that, it was just a matter of getting used to. sydney was much more fascinating. more urban. guess thats what i am. an urban boy. anyway. we went to paddington's markets, which sells all sorts of stuff, and its only open on saturdays in this sch compound, so that was cool. then went to go check out the sydney harbour bridge, one of their national icons. did the bridgeclimb, where u actly walk on the arch of the bridge. FREAKING cool. i absolutely recommend it to everyone. then of course did the touristy thing at the opera house. went for a day trip to the blue mountains. the landscape there was simply otherworldly. i was just gawking at the scenery sometimes. and i got to sit on the edge of a sheer drop with my legs dangling over the precipice. BEST! haha. that day trip was my fave part of the whole trip with the bridgeclimb coming in next. lol. and of cos the usual seafood dinner by darling harbour. amazing.
So all in all, it was a successful trip, but i wont be going back ther again. nt much else. so yeah thats abt it for my holiday. so what'd you all do? ~

On Relationships and Tarts...
I think i can finally confirmed that i have officially lost all faith in relationships. maybe there used to be a shadow or flicker of faith, but i know all that has been completely defenestrated. it's for the better i suppose. i'm not gonna believe in anymore fairytale endings, or happy ever afters, cos looking at things now, all thats just a pile of rotting crap. sry if anyone feels insulted, but yeah thats my opinion, which i am entitled to. but i digress. i rly dun think i can ever summon the courage anymore to have a relationship. besides, its so troublesome. im rly not willing to give out my heart so keenly again. i dun rly think its that bad, growing old alone. having ur own life. i mean, i could focus on my career, amass wealth (hopefully), donate to charities, take care of my parents etc. have a few close friends. honestly, i dun see myself missing out on much. stay in a small, cosy, studio apt if my parents dun want me with them. haha. go to work, come back, cook dinner. watch tv, play games, do work, sleep, have breakfast, repeat. hmph. and the household chores. etc. lol. im already imagining my future.
Sure, ppl will argue u ought to have someone to be ur companion to grow old with, ur other half. but hey, then u'd have to worry abt ur partner, and there'll be all the emotional upheaval and god knws wat other crap. sry, but i dun think i wanna subject myself to all that. ok, so i wont have children. big deal. i just hv to explain to my parents. XD. i guess, its been happening over the last few years, and i just wondered when i'd finally admit it. as a wise sith lord once said, ''it is a terrible thing to fall, but far more terrible, is to admit it''. oh such sagacity. i pledge myself to your teachings, darth kreia. lol. yeah, sure i might be taking all this with a cavalier attitude, but i assure u, i mean every word i say, and this isnt some random teenager's angsty rant or something. basically, im just far too afraid of getting hurt again. so call me coward, or whatever u want, but hey, its. my. life. period. so if i say anymore, im just gonna end up repeating points, which we all knw is terrible, terrible writing. haha.
So, without further ado, i bid thee adieu. oh poetry. la lingua amor. btw, heres a pic of pineapple tarts i just baked today cos i was craving them. lovely. (btw, im open for orders for christmas, new years, CNY etc. leave a msg if u want). cyaz ~

S4 Farewell and Paraliturgy 2009...
Next, to my class of 433'09. the past 2 years have been a rollercoaster ride, and we're the best sec 4 class ever, indubitably. tdp english. thank you for being my classmates for the past 2 years, and i've learnt many things from u guys, and i hope our friendships persevere through the future. i have gained some truly amazing friends in 433, and made some unforgivable enemies. u guys have made being in SJI upper sec a beautiful journey, from start to end. and i say now, not farewell, but best of luck to all your future endeavours, and may God always bless u. and i pray the fraternal bonds we have forged will remain, through trial, by fire...and strife.
Lastly (sorry for the immature paragraph startings, Ms Chia), to my best friends. (in no particular order of merit, u twats), michael, linus, zh, ash and brian. i found you guys in the past 2 years. i hope and pray i will never lose you guys. thank you for all that you've done for me. honestly, i dunno wher i'd be now if it weren't for u guys. u guys have made my life that much brighter, and i admit that that is no mean feat. u guys made me know what it felt like to be happy again, to find my sun in a world of darkness. u guys have been there for me no matter what. no matter how bitchy, how arrogant, how twatty, how annoying i was, you stood by me. yet again (im using this so often, sry for not paraphrasing), mortal words fail to express my absolute gratitude, jubilance, hope and love you guys have inspired within me. you gave to my life, meaning, and purpose. it was for you guys that i could find the strength to get up every morning. sry if it sounds so dramatic, but this comes from the bottom of my heart. i wish that i can always be there for u guys, in one way or another, even if not physically. i'm sorry for all that i've done wrong, for what i didn't do as a friend, and i'm sorry for not being the best of friends at times. i'm sorry for all my inadequacies and my sins, faults and failures as a friend. i hope you can forgive me. i pray always that we remain friends, and that God blesses and blesses your lives, touches your hearts and guides you through whatever you do. let God teach you how to love. and always love.
Aaaaand, as a bonus, one more paragraph. to all the swine who tried their best to make my life in SJI hell, whether it was a (Chief) bitchy teacher, or several motherfu*king students, i have a few things to say. most importantly, thank you. thank you for making my blood pressure rise, and my arteries almost burst. thank you, because what doesn't kill you, only makes me stronger. so thank you for making me stronger. next, just some words of wisdom. try not to go through life so bitter. i really pity you. you're pathetic. sadly so. try, try for some soulsearching. i pray it works. God help you.
And that brings us to the end, almost. just a bit more. SJI taught me many things. most importantly however, it taught me how to love. i'm sorry for making life so difficult, i never meant to. all i wanted was to show some concern, and be a friend. i'm sorry it didn't work out. truly. i will always remember it. and i will always cry for it. but thank you. God loves you, and i pray you find what you are looking for, and true happiness.
So to everything, and everyone who has come into my life these past 4 years in SJI, a big THANK YOU. i can't say how much you mean to me, for those footprints you've left on my heart.

Love...
Most importantly, i must establish my own viewpoint on this matter. i will forever believe that ALL love is beautiful. i believe there is no such thing as a forbidden or wrong love. and if u love someone, and u find that ppl are against it, then i wld ask u to keep loving that person no matter what. love transcends all. omnia vincit amor. la veritatis. honestly. love is the most powerful emotion any human can feel and should feel. not hatred, not anger, but love. i think there is no such thing as wrong, unholy, unconventional love et al. because i believe, i know that all love is sacred. all love is pure. and i cannot believe that God would ever condemn a human for loving. EVER. i think God definitely condemns hate. but never love. God taught us to love. and that is why i dun believe that ther can be such a thing as wrong love. why should love ever be wrong?
Is it wrong to care for someone? i don't think so. caring for a person shows how human u are, and it just shows how mature u are, i feel, in accepting that all kinds of love exist in this world, and embracing that possibility. rather than being insular or religious (or whatever crappy excuse u can come up with), just try and open ur eyes a little bit more. no, dun be daft. this isnt aimed at anyone in particular. its just my opinion. and if it sounds like u, then yes im talking to u. in fact, im still talking to everyone about this. it would a much better world if there was more love. i just had to write an essay on my ideal world and why it is so. and one of the things in my perfect world would be that everyone loved, and only loved. sigh. so quixotic, so impossible. why?
We must really reflect. what is our world coming to? what happened to humanity, and to love? i fear that we have fallen too far from our true selves, our basic and intrinsic nature, our innate humanity. we have given it up for God only knows what. it has become so difficult for us to love. its very scary. and its really no use lying to yourself. its gonna be a big problem. think about it.
