i haven't been this tired in ages. i mean every word of that sentence. no, it ain't just about work. it ain't just about play. it ain't just about love. it ain't just about friendship. it isn't even just about life. it's a combination of it all. but no, i'm not doing the whiney thing. i'm jus stating. in fact, i kinda like this tiredness. sure, i miss out on a lot of sleep and rest but this mad rush and long hours sure gave me a sense of self-fulfilment. at least i'm doind lotsa constructive things. my days are longer and it makes me happy.

on friday, i went to the castle. yes, aside from the heat, it was all good watching my friend get high on cowboy, meeting a long awaited person, watching another friend get so drunk she couldn't recognise me. and yes, she's supposed to. i took half an hour looking for her but it was all in vain. and then there's the other side of the world that i'm not gonna talk about. whatever it is, i know what i'm doing.. so bugger off. i know how much this means to you but you should know how much it means to me too.

anyway, i was haunted for a good 10 mins. don't look into my eyes ever again. if i look into yours, turn away, ok?

on a lighter, more exciting note, n and i planned this round-down-under trip thingy ages ago for after we grad in '06 and we managed to find 2 khakis to explore the wonderful vast land of australia with us.. yay. but i dun really wanna backpack in melbourne. isn't it weird if my friends see me in scruffy clothes and ask me what the hell am i doing? and i say i'm backpacking.. hmmm... ok... anyway, will think about that later.. this is gonna be fun. woohoo.

faithfulness is a tragic thing but it's so sweet.

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
and then she shyed away from all affection
she couldn't fall head over heels
and she never tasted perfection

he was always there to help her
and soon she learnt
she had to help herself


I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved
and she might even learn to love

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want
she comtemplates his invitation
but her answers aren't definite



I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
she'll say goodbye at the end of fall
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
because she knows he will carry her through
and put her smile back on her face


-----

the saga continues and i dun wanna think about friendship anymore. maybe i'm jus paranoid, maybe i'm right. i miss those days down 1402, havin sundaes in the blistering cold. but now i wish i never knew how a friendship could've gone dead. i'm past anger into a silent sadness. and i hope there's still time to look back. someday.

and you. a call and it's better.
and you. a midnight ride and pampering treats and it's all good.
and vanessa carlton. white houses is pretty cool.

sometime between the last post and this post, my world ricochetted to the end of some unknown side of the world and now sits back in equilibrium. I fell out with a friend, popped an older brother out, met my haunting in awkward circumstances, found back some lost emotions and failed a best friend's test. now wait, before you make any judgement, stop and let me continue. well, i fell back in with the nearly lost friend, am gonna learn to cook when i visit my 'bro' and his kids (yes, he is pretty old), will meet my haunting at the CASTLE and be haunted by him, made pretty cool plans to hang out with this forgotten feeling and well, the last one is just an excuse to tell her that, 'babe, we're still cool. heh' ...

well, other than that, i have pretty pleasant things happening in my life. I'm going to the Castle this friday... yay, it's a masquerade party at this heritage building. waha.. i like. my friend promised a preview of his solo performance. I feel lightheaded and dizzy lately. the weather is good. i know what my assignment is about finally. and my cantonese is gettin better. basically, i'm happy enough to be happy.



On a Monday, I am waiting
Tuesday, I am fading
And by Wednesday, I can't sleep
Then the phone rings, I hear you
In the darkness is a clear view
Cuz you've come to rescue me

Fall... With you, I fall so fast
I can hardly catch my breath, I hope it lasts

Oh, It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Oh, It's as if you know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me

I am moody, messy
I get restless, and it's senseless
How you never seem to care

When I'm angry, you listen
Make me happy, it's your mission
And you won't stop till I'm there

Fall... Sometimes I fall so fast
When I hit that bottom, crash,
you're all I have

How do you know everything I'm about to say?
Am I that obvious?
And if it's written on my face.
I hope it never goes away.

On a Monday, I am waiting
And by Tuesday, I am fading into your arms.
So I can breathe

Es, souvlaki and midnight rides
dark alleys and silver shoes
a pretty flower on her hair
she's drunk and pissed on
151s, nothing less
smudged mascara and
a song from moulin rouge
as motivation to hang on
and baby, if you see her
tell her i miss her

sweet cakes and dandy tricks
a birthday party of big balloons
frames from yesterday
kept in pristine conditions
she parties on cupcakes
and drinks low fat punch
fairies dance in her hair
and lampshades hold them up
and baby, if you see her
tell her i said hi

sneakers on the street
a corndog in one hand
and diet coke in the other
mustard drips down her fingers
and she cleans them with laughter
she holds a knife in her palm
never try to pick her up
for she's a dangerous femme
and baby, if you see her
tell her she'll be fine.

my mac is up. so everyone rejoice.. i'm gonna upgrade to a 160 gig hard drive. yay! though i gladly admit that i'd have absolutely no use fer all that space but then, it's true, you can never have too much space like the way you can never have too many shoes. unless of course, you live like the simpsons who never seem to realise that time actually do exist. anyhow, i'm officially sick but recoverin. forgive me if you see me on the streets and i pepper my sentences with sneezes or conjure up some green phlemy stuff.. no, i do not aim to be disgusting; jus plain honest. anyhow, this bad bout of flu is going round and please do not be afraid to stock up on grapefruit juices and ojs. also, gargling concentrated salt water would help. aha! good'o housewives' remedies.

anyhow, my terrible illness has not stopped me from classes. i'm quite determined now, believe it or not. life's good here. unexpectedly but i'm not complaining. i shall not expect more cos then i'll keep gettin surprised.


rollin good times at amber (meifen, tes, esther)


clubbin spree (meifen, marilyn, peipei, tes, esther)


marilyn! whine whine.
