Jump over it

How are you going to choose if you are given a choice between friendship, and something more than that? Will it be an easy choice to make? What if I told you that the frienship is perfect, and that wanting something more would only destroy it? Or is it sufficient to tell you, on the occasion that the friendship is not perfect, that wanting something more would definitely destroy what little you already have?

It's sad when you have to let go of something because you already have something else which you treasure a lot. It is probably one of the biggest hurdle we as human beings have to overcome in our lives. To learn to be grateful and content with what we already have and not want or ask for more.

Oh brother

Currently listening to: Nothing

I wonder how it feels like to have an older brother. Will he take care of me? Bring me out to lunch or dinner or supper? Buy me things? Protect me when I'm in trouble? Will he be the best older brother one can ever have?

I truly wonder.

Frosty the Snowman

Currently listening to: Nothing

For the past two nights, the layer of frost was as thick as a thin layer of snow. Considering that it's frost and not snow, it is quite thick. But it is also pretty. The roads, the sidewalks, the cars, they sparkled. Of course, you'll have to be careful when you're walking and driving because it is basically ice that you're walking or driving on. Nevertheless, it is still pretty to look at.

P/S: Dear mr. rubberband, I was wondering why you had called me shy the first time around. Anyways, I'm sorry I didn't reply your comments. I hardly ever reply anybody's comment really. But the main reason is because I wasn't sure who you are except that you're Shin Jiin's friend. Thanks for taking the time to read and leave a comment. Really appreciate it.

Afterwards

Currently listening to: Nothing

It was probably the best night of clubbing ever. I was ALMOST drunk. I was DEFINITELY high. I was dancing hard out until my knees buckled underneath me at one point. I was having lots of fun.

But was I happy?

Of course I was. When you're high, almost drunk, dancing hard out and having lots of fun, it's hard not to be happy.

It's the 'after' part that is the problem. When your mind starts to clear and you begin to focus, it all just comes crashing down on you. That you're in a bigger trouble than you thought. That you're in more danger than you imagined.

That you're downright stupid and hopeless, and nothing could ever change that.

Crazy flatmates

Currently listening to: Mad World by Gary Jules

What do you get when you have 2 people, down with the exam fever at the same time, in the same house?

A: Eh B, I call you now ah.

B: Ok.

A: Du-du. Du-du. (sound of a phone ringing on the phone)

B: Hello?

A: Eh, you're supposed to go ring-ring la!

B: Oh okok.

A: I call you again. Ready?

B: Ok.

A: Du-du.

B: Ring-ring.

A: Du-du.

B: Ring-ring.

A: Du-du.

B: Ring-ri-

A: Oi, pick up the phone la!

B: Oh okok. Hello?

A: Hello. Can I speak to B please?

B: Yes this is B speaking.

A: Hey B! How are you?

B: I'm fine thank you.

A: I haven't seen you in ages.

B: Yeah, 5 minutes is a very long time.

A: Yeah. We should catch up with each other soon.

B: Of course. In fact, I'll be catching up with you in 3 seconds.

A: That would be gr-

B: Tu-tu-tu-tu-tu. (sound of a phone engaged or unreachable on the phone)

A: Hey why did you hang up on me?!

B: I didn't. The line was cut.

A: Oh. Ok. I'll call you again. Du-du. Du-du.

B: The number you have dialled is not in service.

Please note that although A and B were in different rooms, they were still able to have the above conversation by shouting to each other because they left the doors open.

The XX chromosome

Currently listening to: Nothing

There is a reason why I am called a girl. That was what I had told a friend. And I believe that it is true. Wait a minute. What am I talking about? Of course it is true. Anyway, yeah it's true. Putting aside the physical evidence, I am every inch a girl. From the intuitions to the wild imaginations. From the thinking-too-much syndrome to the mood swings.

I. Am. A. Girl.

Which would explain why I always seem to manage to find the answers to my questions just by having a normal conversation. Because, when you put the thinking-too-much syndrome and wild imaginations together, you're bound to get an answer to everything.

MSN

Currently listening to: A Natural Woman (You Make Me Feel Like) by Aretha Franklin

What do you talk to your friends about when you're online? Say you are talking to a few different friends at the same time. Do you talk to them about the same thing? Or do you talk to them about one different thing each? It just occured to me that something one friend talked to me about could very well be talked about between the friend and another friend. I shouldn't be surprised about it, but somehow, I was, even if only a little.

Possibilities

Currently listening to: Just For A Moment by Aqualung

Am addicted to this song at the moment. Sigh...

Anyway. Sometimes, you want to know something. From this one fact, there are two possibilities: you either know it, or you don't. Then, from each of these possibilities, there are two more possibilities: you either like what you know or you don't, or, you like the fact that you don't know or you don't.

There have been times when I wanted to know something, I knew it, and I liked it. There have been times when I wanted to know something, I didn't know it, and I liked it. There have been times when I wanted to know something, I knew it, and I didn't like it. There have been times when I wanted to know something, I didn't know it, and I didn't like it.

Right now, I'm at stuck between the possibilities that I want to know something, I don't know it, and I like it, and, I want to know something, I don't know it, and I don't like it. When you combine the two of them together, you get the possibility that you (I) want to know something, you (I) don't know it, and you (I) don't know whether or not you (I) should know it.

I am still as complicated and hopeless as ever...

Exclamations

Quick! Run! Save yourself! Don't look back! Just run! Watch out for the hole! Jump over it! Don't fall! Quick run! Run!

Ruuuuuunnnnnnnnnn!!!

Hmm... I'm not feeling any better after doing that, but oh well...

Solanum dulcamara

Currently listening to: Mad World by Gary Jules

My friend called it the suicide song. I don't disagree. It IS a very sad song. But I like it very much.

I am so freaking messed up right now. The worst that I have ever been. Before, the term 'nocturnal' was just that. A term. Nothing more. Now, it's become a reality. Dang it. I am so freaking messed up, I'm getting on my own nerves.

It doesn't help that I'm feeling rather... bittersweet, about some things at the moment. Apparently, bittersweet is the name of two completely unrelated plants, both of which I will not bother to mention here. But, when used as an adjective, it means tinged with sadness or having a taste that is a mixture of bitterness and sweetness. I will ignore the latter because it was only emphasising the obvious.

So yeah, the theme of the day is bittersweet. And in my own words, it means not entirely unhappy, but not entirely happy either.

Untitled again

Currently listening to: Mad World by Gary Jules

So, I got a free pass to a movie, any movie, and it's valid for the next 6 months. All because I missed the beginning of X-Men 3. It wasn't too bad a movie. A bit on the short side, but movies these days are getting longer and longer don't you think?

On another note, I am having trouble sleeping these days. Take yesterday for instance. I couldn't remember falling asleep, but I did, and I woke up on my own every 3 hours, each time feeling as if I have been wide awake all along. It's weird. I mean, I could've watched the 9.30 am show of Ice Age 2 in the cinema, had I bothered to get out of bed. As it turned out, I ended up staying in bed the whole day, trying to get myself to sleep.

Which means I am probably not going to be able to sleep at all tonight. Sigh...

Mad world

Currently listening to: March Of The Tin Soldiers From "The Nutcraker Suite"

It's so cold, I can practically see myself breathing. I get more and more hungry each day; it truly is a wonder that I am not getting any fatter at all.

Yesterday was crap. Yesterday's yesterday, to be more specific, since it's technically Saturday now. Exams are drawing near. My mind is getting overcrowded, and not with exam materials. Which is not a very good thing, if you know me.

Oh, and I have a new favourite phrase.

"The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had."

You know, as much as I like slow, soft, sentimental songs, I never liked it very much when I find myself identifying with one of them. And a sad one at that.
