There's a black sheep within the herd and it's getting increasingly difficult to associate with that individual.

Impolite and tactlessness obviously seems to be sins of mine in the individual's fashion. Yet, the illustration of such is misleading.

Got the job.

He asked me what I wanted for Valentine's.
I reminded him of what I did and said I deserved none of it.
Then he asked me further if I minded him giving me accessories.
Then I was like, "What kinda accessories? I only liked plain ones."
I was talking about the designs but he had a different intepretation.

Willl you wear if I give you a bangle, or maybe a ring?

I just remain...

Silent.

Having no rights to anger,
Having no rights to jealousy.
Speaking the truth to you
Wreaked havoc in you.

You didn't scold me.
Neither did you shout.
You simply asked me why
And blamed yourself for all.

I cried when you cried.
Wanting so much to hug you
And tell you how contrite
My soul am drenching in.

You still called me your dear.
You still expressed your love.
You reassured me that you won't leave.
All I could do was cry in response.

Is this what eyes were never meant to see
The end of hope and all it meant to me
How can I find the strength to carry on another day
Without my pride there’s nothing left to say
Is this the way my life was meant to be?

Too late for me to say that I was wrong
Perhaps the weak believe that they are strong
I thought that if I tried I’d find a way to earn their trust
Yet all I’ve know and loved has turned to dust
It seems there was no way I could belong

The fire that burns within your heart
The pain that tears your life apart
The rain that falls from broken skies
The love I lost beneath the lies
And must I face the truth alone?
Is this the end of all I’ve known?
The years I gave, the tears I’ve cried
Why dream of love, when love has died…

I know one day the story will be told
And in the end the secrets will be sold
And will they look at me and say I should have known the end
Perhaps I did but why should I pretend?
I only dreamed of love, and growing old…

The fire that burns within your heart
The pain that tears your life apart
The rain that falls from broken skies
The love I lost beneath the lies
And must I face the truth alone?
Is this the end of all I’ve known?
The years I gave, the tears I’ve cried
Why dream of love, when love has died…

The years I gave, the tears I’ve cried
Why dream of love, when love has died…

Your Element Is Water


A bit of a contradiction, you can seem both lighthearted
and serious. That's because you're good at going with the flow - but you also
are deep. Highly intuitive, you tune in to people's emotions and moods easily.
You are able to tap into deep emotional connections and connect with others.
You prefer a smooth, harmonious life - but you can navigate your way around
waves. You have a knack for getting people to get along and making life a little
more peaceful.

"You'll still cling to your destructive, debilitating habits because your emotional tie to them is so strong - so much stronger than any dime-store insight you might come up with - that the stupid things you do are really the only things you've got that keep you centered and connected. They are the only things about you that make you YOU."

Your words unwittingly gave
The stamp of approval to me,
To the resounding denial of us -
Our bonds, our relationship.

Calculative, I thought I was that
When I painfully recall of my day,
When all of you did and said nothing
To acknowledge and left me cold.

Months passed and the resentment
Bore deep within me, none of you
Remembered that day nor ever
Understood why I've been distant.

Nursing the hurt on my own,
Do not worry, my time to leave nears.
Calling you all my friends that I love,
Only to hear the echoing of acquaintences.

ooooo*ooooo

An attention-seeker that's what am I. Thanks for reading and making me laugh. -thinks- You still have the same power over me and I really hope our friendship will last. -smiles-

"In one way or another I've always suffered. I didn't know why exactly. But I do know that I'm not so scared of suffering now. I feel more than I've ever felt and I've found someone to feel with. To play with. To love in a way that feels right for me. I hope he knows that I can see that he suffers too. And that I want to love him."

"Bridge, ya know, I mean, what I always thought was that there was this one, one perfect person for everybody in the world, you know, and when you found that person, uh, the rest of the world just kinda magically faded away and... and you know, the two of you would just be inside this kind of protective bubble. But there is no bubble, or if there is, we have to make it. I just think life is more than a series of moments, you know, it's... it's... we can make choices and we can choose to protect the people we love and that's what makes us who we are, and those are the real miracles! Stop me when it becomes glaringly obvious that I have no idea what I am talking about..."

I love that word "relationship". Covers all manner of sins, doesn't it? I fear that this has become a bad relationship. A relationship based on the President taking exactly what he wants and casually ignoring all those things that really matter to, erm... Britain. We may be a small country but we're a great one, too. The country of Shakespeare, Churchill, the Beatles, Sean Connery, Harry Potter. David Beckham's right foot. David Beckham's left foot, come to that. And a friend who bullies us is no longer a friend. And since bullies only respond to strength, from now onward, I will be prepared to be much stronger. And the President should be prepared for that.

New Year's Eve was spend reading through numerous SMS asking me to spare a moment for the tsunami victims. I was in church for most of the time when these messages came flooding in. Brother Dickson then stood in front of Campus Ministry and asked us to reflect upon the words of the songs we're singing to God and reflect upon the tragedy that occurred a while back.

It struck home. I kneeled and laid my head down onto the ground as my heart began to break. Till that night, it has been 5 days since I heard from Christy, who's based in a Club Med resort in Indonesia. I know I should be thinking that he's fine since he managed to reply back to me on Monday night but it's no consolation as I keep reading reports after reports about how Club Med has suffered one of the most losses.

I cried. Cried because everyone around me seems to see me as someone cheerful and filled with fun and joy. Cried because everybody thinks that I am not able to comprehend the disaster at hand. I cried in silence as everyone continued their prayers. As soon as my head was lifted, I went for the door and washed my face in the toilet. Pain and hurt, I'm just too accustomed to them.

By 2230hrs, I just couldn't hold up any longer and left church. Headed for Passion as I promised Agnes that I'll try and be there for countdown. He messaged me that he is not able to leave camp but has a high chance of sneaking out. I called him, wanting to ask him to just stay in camp and that it's fine with me if he can't meet me that night, but I didn't. Somehow, I wanted him to be there. Agnes was a a face of joy when I met her at Passion. She hugged me and shouted, "Happy New Year" before offering me a cup of champagne. Putting aside my heavy heart, I glanced around me and before I knew it, I was drenched in champagne. The crowd was wild and I was savouring every moment of it.

He did sneak out afterall and came down to Passion to look for me. Not sure if he felt it but when I saw him that night, I felt a distance starting to form between the both of us. I wanted to hug him but somehow, that desire vanishes as I try to draw close to him. We left Passion not long after as he wanted to play a couple of games of bowling so we headed down to Marina South.

Well, if we had some unforeseen luck. We were placed on the lane beside Robin Leong and company. He's a great bowler. Almost every round was met with a spare for him. It was fantastic to see so many people at Superbowl looking cheery and all. It was pure amazing. With all these tragedies at hand, I would think that the world will be dead to the sound of joy.

After he had enough of his bowling, we walked our way to Lau Pa Sat. He asked me lotsa questions that I found difficult to answer and I replied in a very matter-of-fact manner towards him. Yet, what I desire to reply is of follow...

When you leave Singapore, do you not want to have any form of contact with me anymore?

Yes, as I don't wanna know how happy you are with her. I don't wanna know how well in advance you are in your life without me. I don't wanna know all these. Yet, no, I do wanna continue contacting you to know that you're doing well. I wanna know that you're treating her right. I wanna know that you have made significant progress towards your dreams.

The contradiction that speaks within my heart is hard to listen and follow. How am I to reply to such a question? I don't know cos even I'm not sure whether I want to or not.

Do you now understand the pain that throbs within my heart as each weekend draws closer? I wish I could look into your eyes and just shout, "YOU'RE A FUCKING LIAR". I wish I could tell you all the questions that has been swimming in this little depressive brain of mine. I wish I could drink myself silly, get myself into some freak accident and lose my memory... it'll be the easiest way out for me.


It's difficult. Real difficult for me to tell you the truth of how I feel cos when I see you, I see a picture painted with the colors of lies, hurt and pain. Yet I'm so drawn towards this morbid piece of art. The morphine effect it has on me is beyond amazement. I'm addicted to this vicious cycle of love and hate. The self-inflicting emotional torture is just pure ecstasy. Crying myself silly on lonely nights, I could do that for months and all you see is a carefree girl.

I'm an actress. The world's my stage. This episode is especially hard to get by but I will get by. And when I do, please don't stop me from performing my epilogue to the world whom I hope will applaude generously to my art.
