INTERACT IS ♥

Takefive was a blast at the interact IU'09 bubble tea booth :D All 500 cups were sold out one hour before takefive ended, and we earned more than expected :D

I want to thank the interactors for being so awesome. And to the HCC-ers for being equally awesome. I ♥ you guys! Like, seriously. :)

And even though I think you won't see this, thank you suyin for helping me realize something really important. You probably didn't realize it but thank you.

My happiness is in my own hands, and no one can take it away from me.

I received two postcards! From Norway and Finland. (:

From Lexidh of Moelv, Norway.

From Hilja of Josensuu, eastern Finland. The text is silvery! (Blaws we got postcards from the same person! :O)

Yay I love pretty postcards and I love pretty postcards from beautiful Europe (:

Introducing my future dog...

Yorkie! :D

Currently resides on my moleskine cover and will be residing in my home in a few years' time once I have gotten myself a well paying job and am able to support this little angel. (:

Joined Postcrossing today and immediately sent out 5 postcards (the maximum number of postcards that are allowed to 'travel' at one time) because I was feeling so enthusiastic :D Sent them to finland, USA, netherlands, germany and berlarus (small country in europe)! All the countries that I love <3 (aka america/europe)

I feel quite bad though the postcards weren't very pretty I'm hoping to get prettier postcards with scenery in them next time I go for a walk, maybe I'd get them at the airport or something.

Oh and thank you blaws for introducing postcrossing to me. (:

I FINALLY GOT MY MOLESKINE!!

*COUGHBEAUTYCOUGH*

:D

Let me summarize the journey to acquiring this beauty.

(Day before: trip to Bugis Junction, NBC ran out of stock.)

Trip to Raffles City Mall only to realize Anthropology didn't carry Moleskines anymore.
Trip to Vivocity, walked alllll the way to the other end to pageone. Out of stock.
Trip to Kino, walked allll the way to taka >: (. Out of stock.
Walked by the Heeren, decided to check out HMV, saw amelia (kitty's sister) and received kitty's sms saying she was there too (!!) but didn't see her awww. :( Anyway they didn't stock moleskines, so...
Trip to Paragon, out of stock at Tango Mango.
Tried to look for Wheelock place (borders), got lost, ended up walking to plaza sing instead. Out of stock at Times.
Trip to Tampines Mall, Times didn't carry it.
Went back home, checked online, was wondering if I could order online but it was too much hassle and it would take too long for it to arrive, decided to call up all the stores listed on the 'where to find' page on moleskineasia.com, and guess what TANGO MANGO AT CHANGI AIRPORT T3 HAS ONE IN STOCK (: (: (:
Trip to Changi Airport to collect my reserved darling.

And yes I was taking the mrt all the way.

Anyway that's the end of my story goodnight (:

2009-01-05T09:38:00.003+08:00

I wish someone could cast a memory charm on me because I'd rather not remember anything at all.

2009-01-03T12:02:00.000+08:00

Woke up early, was suddenly hit by the inspiration to blog, so here I am.

A whole lot has changed since I last blogged (it's only been a month). And some people have changed, too. For example, I am much more independent now. Also, I finally know what independence means.

School is starting in 8 days. Wtf. Shit. Bloody hell.
I. Am. Not. Ready.
In fact, I think it'll take weeks, maybe months for me to be ready.

Anyway.
Steering away from that painful paragraph up there. I just wanted to thank my friends for being there for me, and for the fun outings :D I really really appreciate it. (: And you guys are the reason why school will not be as painful as it could be.

Meli and blaws, for the awesome bonding session with bolt and pool. Os for quantum of solace (though we didn't really like it) and for the numerous walks around wisma. Think we can draw up a map of the place already. :D Tag for the trips to the playground. Bernice for the (relatively) productive study session at serene centre (thank you for the pouch dear it's prettyy:D). Jas for coming down to the tampines stadium to run with me and walk and talk with me afterwards at the cozy nearby park. Yes, jas, I will study hard. :D The dear hcc kids, who never fail to brighten up any one's day. :D And of course my dearest family, for their company, the late-night mahjong games, late-night movie sessions, and the weekend outings.

And a big thank you to the people who were there on the night where everything changed. _, for the phone call (didn't think it was convenient to post your name here), and tag, for the late-night counselling session. :D Thank you for being a great listener and a great friend. And to everyone else whom I was talking to msn that night, and to everyone else whom I've been talking on msn since that night- cat, tungtung, chen, yinan, dingyi.

Thank you everyone. It meant a great deal to me. (:

PS. Also a thank you to the east coast town council, for building a park nearby so I can take a walk whenever I want to. (:

2008-11-21T17:17:00.002+08:00

Yay I have a new air conditioner! No more forcing myself to mug on hot and stuffy afternoons (and ending up with not doing anything at all). Even though I will most probably be studying in school with ♥. :D But the library is closing on 25 november oh no no more air conditioned areas to mug :(

Anyway. Yes I have decided to revive my blog. :D Been going online more often lately and I've been itching to blog, so here I am. Tag if you visit! :D

Btw there are now themes at gmail, so if you don't have a gmail account yet get one! The themes are awesome. I'm too lazy to get a screenshot so I'd just say instead of the plain blue-white theme you can choose other colours or even pictures! :D

I'd better continue with chem so... tata :D

yay bonding session on 5th dec ♥

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Some really random thoughts.

1. I keep my inhaler in a sealed ziploc bag, and I was swiftly reminded of class camp, when I sealed everything - everything - in ziploc bags, for fear of rain. In the end it was sunny all day! Class camp, sigh.
2. I love green pears.

3. I love english.

4. 'Postprandial' means after a meal.

5. My fingers are trembling again, and my heartrate is quickening; maybe I had too much of Ventolin (cough inhaler).

6. I will get through this, and you won't stop me.

2008-07-18T23:32:00.001+08:00

i need time.

2008-07-12T18:34:00.001+08:00

It's been almost two months, and things are slowly, painfully, coming back, as much as they are unwelcome. The stupidity, the confusion, the spite. The good memories, and the bad.

Will this ever end?

2008-06-09T20:12:00.004+08:00

person ONE. What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. Remember that. I hope you’re happy. I don’t know what I can do to make you happier, but just so you know I will always be there for you alright? And cliched as it might be, every cloud has a silver lining. :)

person TWO. I don’t know why you said what you said, or why you behaved the way you did. I don’t know how you work. Does anybody really understand you? All I know is when I tried to I was brutally kicked away. I was just trying to be nice, you know.

person THREE. Don’t emo already alriggggght everything will get better soon enough! :D Time heals all wounds, and I know that! :) Cheer up alright! Loves! <3

2008-06-07T02:44:00.002+08:00

Thank you, Mrs Chan Sam Neo, for giving us GP speech assignments.
Thank you so much.

The month of May has been crazy. Utter madness! It was so crazy I couldn't find words to describe it then - which explains the sudden spammage of songs. Well, they are nice songs. :)

This May I have, regrettably, lost a place for refuge. It is still there, but it's not the same anymore; never will be. My eyes have been opened and I am further introduced to the unpredictability of this world, and how things may seem harmless, but turn out to be only seemingly harmless, and be the total opposite.

This May I have made lots of stupid mistakes, and there have been words better left unsaid (yet said), things better left untouched (yet touched). Of confusion, of stubbornness. Of falling, hard, on the ground. I have learnt more about certain people, be it for better or for worse. I cannot say I was shocked, or that the impact wasn't great, but I'm glad I found out anyway, lest I continue making stupid mistakes.

But this May has also showed me the loving and caring side of people, and I am very thankful to the people who have helped me up so many times. I cannot thank the people who have done so, enough. Thank you for your support, your encouraging words, for being there. Thank you for your endless concern. Thank you all for being superb friends. And of course this extends to my loving family as well. :)

Thank you so much! I will always be there for you, the way you were always there for me. :D

I shall blog about YCAS next time, it's getting late, and I have PW to rush, oh no. But in summary, YCAS was F-U-N, FUN! :D yay youth sector!

2008-05-25T05:26:00.001+08:00

Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
Well I'm putting my heart back together,
'Cause I got over you.
Well I got over you.
I got over you.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

It was CO concert yesterday! :)

Eve, Fei, Eric and I got ~~lost at the mrt station and had to take a cab to the conference hall only to have the cab driver tell us it was a building away and we ended up arriving 50 minutes late~~ there in time! :D

Had to squeeze into the crowd after the concert to look for meli and blaws to hand them their roses (which are petite i think they're very adorable!) and managed to find blaaaws (with her AKHEM) :D didn't get to take a picture with her though, she ran away too fast!

and then i found meli near the backstage area and she was flooded with flowers and bouquets! :)
(shall post our picture next time, far too lazy to upload it now. ><)

Anyway, good job CO for putting up such a good performance! And well done with the pirates of the caribbean piece ;D

2008-05-16T00:23:00.002+08:00

The past few weeks have been complete madness, it felt like I was forced into riding a corkscrew rollercoaster that trembled with every turn as if it were going to derail any moment. At times it will steady and I will feel a sense of relief, but that comfort is short-lived and the cart starts rumbling again.

Up, down, up, down.

But now it's much steadier, and I need to thank everyone who's been there for me. You guys know who you are. Thank you so much. :)

To everyone who've been there for me: just so you know, I'd be there for you too, whenever you need me. :)

Running Away

Don't lie and say that it's OK.
It's alright if there's nothing more to say.
So I'm running away.
I'm leaving this place.
Yeah, I'm running away.
I'm running away.

Don't tell me I'm the one to blame.
It's too late for you to make me stay.
No, I won't stay.
So I'm running away.
I'm leaving this place.
Yeah, I'm running away.
I'm running away.

And faster than you can follow me from this lonely place.
And farther than you can find me, I'm leaving
Yeah I'm leaving today.
And I, I'll never let you find me.
I'm leaving you behind with the past
No, I won't look back.
And I don't want to hear your reasons.
Don't want to hear you tell me why I should stay.

And try, and try to understand me
And try to understand what I say when I say I can't stay
I, I'm moving on from this place
I'm leaving and I won't quit running away.

I'm running away.
I'm leaving this place.
Yeah, I'm running away.
I'm running away.

Don't Write Me Off

It’s never been easy for me
To find words to go along, with a melody
But this time there’s actually something, on my mind
So please forgive these few brief awkward lines

Since I’ve met you, my whole life has changed
It’s not just my furniture, you’ve rearranged
I was living in the past, but somehow you’ve brought me back
And I haven’t felt like this since before Frankie said relax

And while I know, based on my track record
I might not seem like the safest bet
All I’m asking you, is don’t write me off, just yet

For years I’ve been telling myself, the same old story
That I’m happy to live off my so called, former glories
But you’ve given me a reason, to take another chance
Now I need you, despite the fact, that you’ve killed all my plants

And though I know, I’ve already blown more chances
Than anyone should ever get
All I’m asking you, is don’t write me off, just yet
Don’t write me off just yet

Don't write me off just yet.

Say It Isn't So - Gareth Gates

Skies are dark it's time for rain
Final call you board the train
Heading for tomorrow
I wave goodbye to yesterdays
Wipe the tears you hide your face
Blinded by the sorrow

How can I be smiling like before
When baby, you don't love me anymore

Say it isn't so
Tell me you're not leaving
Say you changed your mind now
That I am only dreaming
That this is not goodbye
This is starting over
If you wanna know
I don't wanna let go
So say it isn't so

Ten to five atleast we tried
We're still alive but hope just died
As they close the door behind you
Whistle blows and tons of steel
Shake the ground beneath the wheels
As I wish I never found you

How can I be smiling when you're gone
Will I be strong enough to carry on

Miles and miles to go before I can say,
Before I can lay my love for you to sleep
Oh, darling oh
I got miles and miles to go
Before anyone will ever hear
Me laugh again

A random quote:
'A good man is like time - if you do not treasure him, he will not wait for you. So you should grab the opportunity while it is still there.' - some hongkong TVB drama.

heed that advice, girls. :)

There was a girl standing on the beach. The sky was sombre and cloudy, and ocean waves were crashing onto the jagged rocks. She was standing on one of those rocks, gazing out to the murky gray sea. The lively sparkle that had danced in those chestnut brown eyes two months ago was gone; all that was left was a sad, distant gaze. Taken along with the hope she had so dearly harboured inside.

She was holding a mound of sand, damp and sticky to the touch. Look closer at the pile of sand, though, and one will spot a faint glimmer of the rainbow.

ℓ

A few months ago, she had been gifted a delicate glass bottle, a metallic blue ribbon wrapped around it, of glittering rainbow sand. There was red sand, for passion; orange sand, for liveliness; yellow sand, for happiness; green sand, for jealousy; blue sand, for serenity; indigo sand, for deep thought; pink sand, for adoration, and white sand, for love so pure.

It was the most precious gift.

The beach a few months ago was a place of life. The sea sparkled like millions of sapphires under the glory of the sun, and the waves gently caressed the shore. The girl took the glass bottle of rainbow sand to the beach at times, pouring it out into her hands to admire it more closely, then pouring it back with all the care in the world.

Then, two months later, the girl, both hands cupped to protect her precious rainbow sand from the harsh elements of the world, glimpsed a seagull – soaring, flapping its wings to the beat of the wind; gliding, its white feathers shimmering under the rays of the sun.

In awe she loosened her fingers.

The rainbow sand slipped through the gaps, drizzling onto the damp sand of the beach, with a sound as sinister as a snake’s hiss.

She gasped, immediately stooping to scoop her precious, precious sand up. But it was too late; it had become part of the damp sand. It had lost its purity, and its magic. It was no longer her dear, sparkling sand of the colours of the rainbow. It was now beach sand.

As her heart pained, choked with regret and guilt, it was only then that she realized: there was one last colour in the bottle of rainbow-coloured sand, one she had never noticed before.

It was black sand, for neglect, and now - loss.

RANDOM MUSINGS FOR THE BROKEN-HEARTED.

Running Away by Midnight Hour

Running away.

Ever tried living one month of your life in a lie?
Later when you realize by chance that it was all a lie, all of it, how would you feel?
Hurt, lost, cheated,
or all of them?
Would you feel as if your once-perfect world had just crumbled into millions of shattered, tiny pieces in his merciless, yet unfortunately powerful hands? (Is he important enough to you to crush you like that?)
With those impenetrable hands of his, he is unharmed.
But what about you?

Is it just me, or do some things I least expect to happen, always happen?
Did I really think that this bliss would last? That for the next two years I had you and our group of friends to always, always fall back on?
It all seemed so perfect.
Maybe too perfect.

We did timed comprehension for GP today, and guess what I saw:
Question 4. The author used 3 rhetorical questions in paragraph 8. Explain what he meant.
And I laughed.
Because, hey, I love rhetorical questions! Rhetorical questions have been my forte for the past few days.
(I wonder: did you cringe when you read this comprehension question?)

He grabbed her.
‘Ow!’ she yelped, and yanked her arm away, but his grip was too tight. It was as if he never wanted to let go of her; never wanted to let go of the ‘us’ he saw in their future. ‘You’re hurting me!’ she screamed.
He let go immediately.
She turned and walked away. Too determined to leave was she, that she failed to hear the soft, defeated whisper behind her,
‘Please don’t go.’

In a world where love and hope never fails:
She picked up the rose pen and gazed at it, ever so lovingly. The rose pen that, a few weeks ago, had been painstakingly chosen from the myriad of other delicious colours; the rose pen he’d bought for her a few weeks before, just because. She got a white sheet of paper and drew a petite rose heart. Tenderly, after ensuring the ink was dry, she placed the dew drop above the heart. And the heart shimmered, glowing with love.

Alas, this isn’t a world where love and hope never fails. It does fail.

Do you know how sometimes - when you are riding your bike and you start skidding across sand, or when you miss a step and start tumbling down the stairs - you have those long, long seconds to know that you are going to be hurt, and badly?

- Jodi Picoult

But then, hopefully, it picks up again.

omg i'm becoming more and more nocturnal day by day.

anyway, GLASS HARP!

its magical :D

harry potter, fur elise, and another pretty tune i don't recognize on glass harp!
'This brilliant man, Ilya from Siberia, entertains in Europe by playing classical music (AND the Harry Potter Theme) on glasses of water!

The set of glasses is called a Glass Harp, and each glass must be filled to the proper level to give it the perfect pitch. Then the fingers are dragged across the rims of the glasses with a careful touch to make them 'sing.'

I asked Ilya if it's difficult to play the glasses. "Nowhere NEAR as hard as playing the contact lenses!" he replied.

I'm just kidding.'

swan lakeeee!

and omg GLASS ARMONICA

dance of the sugar plum fairy!

okay okay off to sleep.

I read this short story on lj yesterday, and I thought I should post it here!:)

-

Once upon a time, there lived Lily Lacrima, and down the street where Lily lived, there stood a quaint little florist. It had been passed down several generations, and thrives under the care of its florists who love their flowers as much as they love life.

Lily walked into the florist one day, and she was enthralled by the sight of the dazzling array of flowers. But it was a curious florist, because Lily had never seen most of the flowers there before. Instead of the usual gerberas, sunflowers, and roses, like the multi-hued flowers in striking hot pink or neon orange, or pea-green plants with huge, furry leaves. What really caught Lily’s attention, though, was that amidst the flowery scents in the florist, one scent was particularly rich, and upon inhaling, the scent gave her a warm, fuzzy feeling.

‘Miss,’ the shopkeeper approached Lily, an emerald green plant with thick, wholesome leaves in her hands. The shopkeeper was a young, lovely lady, who wore a green apron randomly smudged with dirt, ‘FLOWERS FOR AMORE’ imprinted in gold across it. The emerald green plant, on the other hand, was flower-less, yet it was where the rich scent was coming from. The scent resembled vanilla with a touch of lavender. The plant brimmed with health, and for a minute there Lily thought she’d seen it glow.

‘Miss, I want you to have this plant,’ the shopkeeper said, handing the plant to Lily. Seeing the puzzled look on Lily’s face, the shopkeeper smiled.

‘This is the amour, and it hasn’t been giving off its scent in years.’ the shopkeeper beamed.

Lily glimpsed a twinkle in the shopkeeper’s eye as the shopkeeper said, ‘Until you came.’ The last three words had a very magical feeling to them, but Lily couldn’t figure out why.

‘That is why I want you to have it.’ the shopkeeper said. ‘I want you to help me look after it. It doesn’t need much food or water. All it needs is your tender-loving care. Promise me you will love it, and I promise you that in two years its flowers will bloom, and nothing in the world is more beautiful than amour flowers.’

Lily offered to pay for the amour, but the shopkeeper refused. ‘Your promise to me is payment enough.’ the shopkeeper said.

Delighted and very thankful, Lily accepted the shopkeeper’s kind offer. She absently promised to love the amour, and she promised that when the amour flowers bloomed two years later, she would bring the amour to the florist to share the beauty of the amour flowers.

Lily brought the amour home, and placed it by the window so it would get plenty of sunlight, not to mention a good view of the lush valleys and sparkling streams. She nourished it with the premium quality plant food and premium garden soil that she had additionally purchased from the florist, so the amour would have the very best any plant in the world could get.

Every day, the amour plant would fill the room with its rich, vanilla-lavender scent. The amour seemed to have a mind of its own, because at a particular time on particular days of the week, it would give off an especially sweet scent (this one had a touch of rose infused in it) - after school at approximately nine in the evening, as if it had missed her while she was away; or on Saturdays, at approximately nine in the morning, when Lily would awaken to the fragrant scent of the amour. The amour served as a motivation for Lily when she was feeling all dreary after a long day at school, and the amour was the reason why Lily finally managed to kick the unhealthy habit of sleeping-in till noon on weekends. The amour, with its loving scent, was like a life-long friend who loved her with all of its heart, if plants had hearts.

Lily treasured the amour very dearly, nourishing it with all the love in the world. Once in a while Lily would think she saw the amour glow, rub her eyes in disbelief, then open them again, only to see that the glow had disappeared. And she would smile to herself, knowing that the amour loved her back.

Alas, us humans have the most unfortunate nature of taking everything for granted, and as the months passed by, the amour began to face the unpleasant feeling of cold, heartless neglection. With a new-found love for gardening, Lily had purchased many other plants which joined the amour by the window. The amour found itself pushed further and further from the window, cast by the occasional shadow, while the other flowering plants dominated the brighter spots right beside the window. Unlike the amour, these plants brightened the room with their flamboyant blooms. As the other plants glowed with health, the amour’s colour faded and it grew sullen. Its confident, lush leaves drooped, and it no longer seemed to glow.

The premium garden soil and premium plant food in the amour’s pot was replaced by that of average quality, because premium quality was for the flowering beauties.

That was not all. The amour could do without premium garden soil, or premium plant food, it could even do without the best spot by the window. But one thing that the amour couldn’t do without was love. And love Lily had stopped giving. Lily began to take the amour’s existence for granted, and its scent became part of the everyday routine. Yet despite all that, it was still embedded in her mind that the amour flowers would bloom in two years. All she had to do was wait.

It was only later that Lily realized how silly she was, thinking the amour would always be there to fill her room with vanilla-lavender scents, blooming lovely amour flowers two years later, when all it had was average garden soil and average plant food, with average lighting and no love to speak of at all.

It is much regrettable that when the amour’s scent grew fainter and fainter by the day, Lily took no notice. The amour’s scent was no longer the rich scent that had greeted Lily at the florist’s, it was now much weaker in comparison. The colour in its leaves had faded, and it lost its shine altogether. Now the poor, neglected amour was dull and frail.

But did Lily notice? Did Lily care?

No. Lily was too busy tending to her beloved blooms with their striking neon orange and hot-pink petals to worry about the dull, flower-less amour. The dull, flower-less amour that had showered her with love for the past few months; the amour that had blessed her room with its heavenly scent. The amour that had once been her best friend, the amour that had promised her unconditional love and beautiful amour flowers in two years’ time. The amour that used to be strong and happy, but was now frail and weak.

If plants could cry, the amour would never need watering.

When the scent was absent on Saturday mornings, Lily dismissed it. ‘It must be temporary,’ she thought, throwing some premium plant food into the amour’s pot, ‘the scent would come back. Then the amour flowers will bloom, and nothing in the world is more beautiful than amour flowers.’

When the amour’s scent was given off later and later into the night, Lily thought little of it. All she could think was, ‘It must be temporary. The scent would come back. Then the amour flowers would bloom, and nothing in the world is more beautiful than amour flowers.’

It is with much sadness for one to say that Lily did not start loving it again, and that it was pushed deeper and deeper into the shadows by the window, crammed amidst the showy display of other plants with flowers.

It was only when the amour stopped giving off its scent altogether that Lily finally noticed something was wrong.

That day she awoke, and sniffed the air for the vanilla-lavender scent that was always there. But something was wrong, very wrong. There was no scent. It was just plain, everyday air. There was no amour scent!

Lily felt as if the world was crashing down upon her. She panicked and sprang from bed, feeling very flustered, and immediately tended to the amour, replacing its soil and food with that of premium quality, shoving the other plants away so the amour would receive the most sunlight. She begged, begged the amour to give off its scent again. She pleaded for forgiveness, and promised to give it all the love and care in the world.

But that didn’t work, because it was too late. The amour had made up its mind; it had given up. The amour would never give off its scent for her again. Lily had hurt the amour far too much, and as much as it had tried to accept it and continue loving her, it couldn’t. If plants could talk, the amour would be apologizing profusely for hurting Lily. What was past, was past, the amour tried to comfort her, don’t worry about it.

Her room felt so empty without the amour’s scent, and Lily hated herself; she hated herself for losing the amour.

She woke up at eight on Saturday morning, and then it hit her – hit her hard - that the amour would no longer give off its scent, the way it used to every Saturday morning. She felt so much pain she couldn’t bring herself to get up. All she wanted to do was to sleep. Sleep and escape it all; sleep till the pain would fade. And so she slept, awoke, and slept again, all the while being curled up into a tight ball, attempting to protect herself from the cold, empty, and scentless environment around her.

A few months after the amour, carrying a rich, aromatic scent, leaves emerald-green and glowing with health, had left the florist in the hands of an equally delighted girl, it was brought back in the hands of the same girl, only the amour was now scentless, its colour faded into a pale, dull green, and Lily, who used to radiate happiness, now had a tired, sullen look in her eyes.

The moment the shopkeeper saw Lily enter the florist with the amour before two years had passed, the shopkeeper knew, and she was flooded with sorrow and empathy.

‘ I’m sorry,’ Lily said, handing the amour back to shopkeeper, ‘I broke my promise. I failed you, and I failed the amour.’ The shopkeeper took the amour, and the moment the amour left Lily’s hands, she collapsed into a sorry fit of sobs.

The shopkeeper held the sobbing girl close. ‘It’s okay my dear’, she whispered, ‘All that matters is that you learn from this loss. Treasure the ones you love, and they will never leave you.’ The shopkeeper let go of Lily and looked at the face which was streaked with tear-stains, a face marked with so much regret and hurt. And she said, ‘My dear, all is not lost. Come back next time, and I promise that there will be another amour plant, waiting to give off its scent for you.’

Lily wiped her tears away and whispered, ‘Really?’

The shopkeeper held Lily close again.

‘Really.’

All Good Things (Come To An End)

Honestly what will become of me
don't like reality
It's way too clear to me
But really life is dandy
We are what we don't see
Missed everything daydreaming

[Chorus:]
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Traveling I only stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay
Young and restless
Living this way I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets it and I don't cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Well the dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Die die die die die

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Well the dogs were barking at a new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
And the sun was wondering if it should stay away for a day 'til the feeling went away
And the sky was falling on the clouds were dropping and
the rain forgot how to bring salvation
the dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon so that they could die.

She watched as the bird swooped, swerved, flew around in wide circles, and disappeared from her range of sight. She marvelled at its freedom, and rejoiced its clear enjoyment. She'd always thought birds would take their ability to fly for granted, because that was what humans do - they take things for granted. Alas, there were some things humans had yet to learn.

I'm sorry if I hurt anyone today, I really shouldn't have; I need to control my emotions next time.

GOOD LUCK EVE/FEI, ALVIN/ANDY FOR CJ TMR!:)
I miss our small og, I miss how we were at the start of the year. How we would go out for dinner all the time, play bridge, play daidi, play slapjack... But seeing how things are going, I have a feeling it'd be quite impossible to get back to the way we were. I'm sorry things have turned out this way, I really didn't want this to happen. Just to let you all know, you were all very important to me, and still are. I really wish I could go down to support you all at cj tomorrow, but as much as I want to, I know it's best I don't. Good luck, I will be giving you all moral support!:D

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
If you've got troubles,I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and can see it through
Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do, it's me and you
Boy, and as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Heyy it’s nearing 1am but I don’t feel like sleeping so I’m typing this very random post.

This weekend has been quite meaningful as compared to the previous few. :) Got to know some people better, do my PI (while playing pokemon emerald at the same time to uh, relax) and run a bit on the treadmill, which is a fabulous achievement considering the fact that for years the treadmill has just been standing there collecting dust and, if you look carefully, a few cobwebs?

Btw The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is a really good book, go read it. :)

Anyway,
I just realized how this post contradicts with the previous one. The one about not having enough sleep. Oops? Um, did I mention what I said in the previous post it excludes Sunday nights? :D

Correction, its no longer nearing 1am. It’s nearing 2am now. Or rather, it’s 5 minutes to 2am.

Sheesh.

Good night. :)

2008-04-14T22:44:00.002+08:00

A friend told me today that his biology tutor, who is currently studying in NUS medical school, gets an average of 4 hours sleep per day.

And I’m like, how sad is that?!

What’s up with this trend in lacking sleep, anyway? Sleep is very crucial to healthy bodies and active minds! Why is it that in order to have a bright future one would most probably have to slog through the night and pretty much drift around lightheadedly the next morning in the school campus?

I am already having 6-7 hours of sleep per day and already I am feeling the drain. Our bodies are ageing quicker than it should be! D:

We slog in JC, and then we graduate, and then we slog in university, and then we graduate, and then we slog in our jobs. And then everybody will be so exhausted throughout the day and we’d neglect humanity and kindness and our family and our friends…

Forget it, I think I’m just tired. And stressed. Preliminary ideas D: Chem SPA! D: D: D: Math tutorial 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5! (heheh)

Hello darlings! I suddenly find myself in a blogging mood all over again.

Here’s something Jas sent to me:

What is Marketing?
1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: ' I am very rich. Marry me! ' - That's Direct Marketing.

2. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says: ' He's very rich. 'Marry him.' -That's Advertising.

3. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day, you call and say: ' Hi, I'm very rich. Marry me’ - That's Telemarketing.

4. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink, you open the door (of the car) for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her ride and then say : 'By the way, I'm rich. Will you 'Marry Me?' - That's Public Relations.

5. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and says: 'You are very rich! 'Can you marry me?' - That's Brand Recognition.

6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: 'I am very rich. Marry me!' She gives you a nice hard slap on your face. - That's Customer Feedback.

7. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: 'I am very rich. Marry me!' And she introduces you to her husband. - That's demand and supply gap.

8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say anything, another person come and tell her: 'I'm rich. Will you marry me?' and she goes with him - That's competition eating into your market share.

9. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say: 'I'm rich, Marry me!' your wife arrives. - That's restriction for entering new markets.

:)

The past week has been a killer.

Monday – Class camp.
Tuesday – Class camp.
Wednesday – NAPFA 5 stations.
Thursday – NAPFA 2.4km run.
Friday – Bio Lecture Test.

Alas, I survived! :)
Did worse for NAPFA this year, but it was quite expected considering the reduced amount of exercise I’ve been getting… next year will be different though!

Before I start churning out my PI and other random pieces of work, I want to say A BIG THANK YOU to the people who have helped me through a very rough patch in my life. Some of you might not see this, but I know you know how thankful I am :)

Adiós for now :)

2008-04-12T11:26:00.002+08:00

Be Good to Your Liver

The main causes of liver damage are:

Sleeping too late and waking up too late are the main cause.
Not urinating in the morning.
Too much eating.
Skipping breakfast.
Consuming too much medication.
Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
Consuming overly done foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.

We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits.
Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule."

Because:

Evening at 9 - 11pm : is the time for eliminating unnecessary toxic chemicals (de-toxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes).This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time one is still in an unrelaxed state such as socializing, drinking, eating out, this will have a negative impact on health.

Evening at 11pm - 1am : is the de-toxification process in the liver,and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 1 - 3am : de-toxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 3 - 5am : de-toxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the de-toxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.

Morning 5 - 7am : de-toxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.

Morning 7 - 9am : absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30am, for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 -10am rather than no meal at all.
Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals.

Aside from that, midnight to 4am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood . Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.

received this sometime ago from jasmine. suddenly thought of it today cos i've been sleeping and waking late; i guess its about time i changed those bad habits :/

True Love's Kiss

Giselle:
When you meet the someone who was meant for you
Before two can become one there is something we must do
Animals:
Do you pull each others tails?
Animals:
Do you feed each other seeds?
Giselle:
No, there is something sweeter everybody needs
I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss
And a prince I'm hoping comes with this
That's what brings everaftering so happy
And that's the reason we need lips so much
For lips are the only things that touch
So to spend a life of endless bliss
Just find who you love through true love's kiss

Giselle: ahhhhhhhhhh
Animals: ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Animals:
Shes been dreaming of a true love's kiss
And a prince she's hoping comes with this
That's what brings everaftering so happy
And that's the reason we need lips so much
For lips are the only things that touch

Giselle:
So to spend a life of endless bliss
Just find who you love through true love's kiss

Edward:
You're the fairest maid I've ever met
You were made...
Giselle:
...to finish your duet
Giselle and Edward: And in years to come we'll reminisce
Edward: How we came to love
Giselle: And grow and grow love
Everyone: Since first we knew love through true love's kiss

That's How You Know

Giselle:
How does she know you love her?
How does she know she's yours?

Man:
How does she know that you love her?

Giselle:
How do you show her you love her?

Both:
How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?
How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you love her?
How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?

Giselle:
It's not enough to take the one you love for granted
You must remind her, or she'll be inclined to say...
"How do I know he loves me?"
(How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you love her?)
"How do I know he's mine?"
(How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?)

Well does he leave a little note to tell you you are on his mind?
Send you yellow flowers when the sky is grey? Heyy!
He'll find a new way to show you, a little bit everyday
That's how you know, that's how you know!
He's your love...

Man:
You've got to show her you need her
Don't treat her like a mind reader
Each day do something to need her
To believe you love her

Giselle:
Everybody wants to live happily ever after
Everybody wants to know their true love is true...
How do you know he loves you?
(How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you need her?)
How do you know he's yours?
(How does she know that you really, really, truely-)

Well does he take you out dancin' just so he can hold you close?
Dedicate a song with words in
Just for you? Ohhh!

All:
He'll find his own way to tell you
With the little things he'll do
That's how you know
That's how you know!

Giselle:
He's your love
He's your love...

That's how you know
(la la la la la la la la)
He loves you
(la la la la la la la la)
That's how you know
(la la la la la la la la)
It's true
(la la la la la)

Because he'll wear your favorite color
Just so he can match your eyes
Rent a private picnic
By the fires glow-oohh!

All:
His heart will be yours forever
Something everyday will show
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know!

Giselle:
He's your love...

Man:
That's how she knows that you love her
That's how you show her you love her

Giselle:
That's how you know...
That's how you know...
He's your love...

(guys take note! HAHA.)

So Close

You’re in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I’m with you
So close to feeling alive

A life goes by
Romantic dreams will stop
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I wanted to hold you
So close

So close to reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this was not pretend
And now you’re beside me and look how far we’ve come
So far we are so close

How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We’re so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far

Ever Ever After

Ever ever after
If we just don't get it our own way
Ever ever after
It may only be a wish away

Starting your fashion, wear your heart on your sleeve
Sometimes you reach what's real just by making believe
Unafraid, unashamed
There is joy to be claimed in this world
You even might wind up being glad to be you

Ever ever after
Though the world will tell you it's not smart

[ Ever Ever After lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
Ever ever after
The world can be yours if you let your heart
Believe in ever after

No wonder your heart feels it's flying
Your head feels it's spinning
Each happy ending's a brand new beginning
Let yourself be enchanted, you just might break through

To ever ever after
Forever could even start today
Ever ever after
Maybe it's just one wish away
Your ever ever after

Ever ever ever after

(I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss)

Ohhhhh , for ever ever after

That's Amore

In Napoli where love is king
When boy meets girl here's what they say

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie
That's amore
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine
That's amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you'll sing "Vita bella" ("beautiful life" in italian)
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Like a gay tarantella

When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool
That's amore
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet
You're in love
When you walk in a dream but you know you're not
Dreaming signore
Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli
That's amore

(When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie
That's amore
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine
That's amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you'll sing "Vita bella"
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Like a gay tarantella
Lucky fella

When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool)
That's amore
(When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet
You're in love
When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not
Dreaming signore
Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli)
That's amore, (amore)
That's amore

(love this song it has a cute gypsy italian feel to it :D btw 'amore' is 'love' in italian!)

if you're a romantic, listen up: Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse, all by Stephenie Meyer, are a MUST READ.

oh and.
its no wonder everybodys fangirling over edward cullen.

abstract from Eclipse:

"I love him. Not because he's beautiful or because he's rich!' I spat the word at Jacob. 'I'd much rather he weren't either one. It would even out the gap between us just a little bit - because he'd still be the most loving and unselfish and brilliant and decent person I've ever met. Of course I love him. How hard is that to understand?" - Bella Swan (Edward Cullen's girlfriend and one and only true love)

conclusion: he's the most perfect guy in the whole universe.
(and other dimensions of the universe if they exist that is)

okay.
/fangirling for edward cullen.

he will always be bella's and bella will always be his :D
they are simply perfect for each other because she is as loving, unselfish, brilliant, and decent <3

WHICH IS WHY YOU MUST MUST READ TWILIGHT, NEW MOON AND ECLIPSE YAY :D
this is the next best thing after the harry potter series ended. in fact, its a million times better. (harry potter fans please dont kill me)

Read this! It's poetry. No wait, it's BETTER than poetry. <3

And so the lion fell in love with the lamb...,' he murmured. I looked away, hiding my eyes as I thrilled to the word.
'What a stupid lamb,' I sighed.
'What a sick, masochistic lion.' He stared into the shadowy forest for a long momnent, and I wondered where his thoughts had taken him.

(Twilight, page 274)

"Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars---points of light and reason ... And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything." - Edward Cullen
(New Moon, page 514)

"If I could dream at all, it would be about you. And I'm not ashamed of it." - Edward Cullen (Twilight, page 294.)

"For almost ninety years I've walked among my kind, and yours ... all the time thinking I was complete in myself, not realizing what I was seeking. And not finding anything, because you weren't alive yet." - Edward Cullen (Twilight, page 304.)

"I'm here, and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you. I was thinking of you, seeing your face in my mind, every second that I was away. When I told you that I didn't want you, it was the very blackest kind of blasphemy." - Edward Cullen (New Moon, page 510.)

"It was like my heart was gone---like I was hollow. Like I'd left everything that was inside me here with you." -Edward Cullen (New Moon, page 515.)

"Your hold is permanent and unbreakable. Never doubt that." -Edward Cullen (New Moon, page 524.)

beams like an idiot.

RABBIDS!! <3

first a little background info, courtesy of wiki (:

Rabbids (often simply called "bunnies") are a fictional species of maniac anthropomorphic rabbits, who serve as the primary antagonists in the video game Rayman Raving Rabbids and Rayman Raving Rabbids 2. Their most well known traits feature various slapstick comedy elements; running around wielding various household objects, dressing up as various other fictional characters, and most of all, constant screaming. Although essentially the "villain" in the game, they have gained a considerable popularity and fanbase through viral videos and media appearances, and many suspect them to eventually overshadow Rayman himself to the extent of developing their own franchise.

received this from cara. read it (:

-

We all know or knew someone like this!!
One day, when I was a freshman in high school,

I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school.

His name was Kyle.

It looked like he was carrying all of his
books.

I thought to myself, 'Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?

He must really be a nerd.'

I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.

As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him.

They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.

His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him.

He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes

My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye.

As I handed him his glasses, I said, 'Those guys are jerks. '

They really should get lives.

' He looked at me and said, 'Hey thanks!'

There was a big smile on his face.

It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.

I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived.

As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before.

He said he had gone to private school before now.
I would have never hung out with a private school kid before.

We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books.

He turned out to be a pretty cool kid.

I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends

He said yes.

We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him.

Monday morning came! , and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again.

I stopped him and said, 'Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!

' He just laughed and handed me half the books.

Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.

When we were seniors, we began to think
about college.

Kyle decided on Georgetown , and I
was going to Duke.

I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem.

He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship.

Kyle was valedictorian of our class.

I teased him all the time about being a nerd.

He had to prepare a speech for graduation.

I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak

Graduation day, I saw Kyle.

He looked great.

He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school.

He filled out and actually looked good in glasses.

He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him.

Boy, sometimes I was jealous.
!
Today was one of those days.

I could see that he was nervous about his speech.

So, I smacked him on the back and said, 'Hey, big guy, you'll be great!'

He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled.

' Thanks,' he said.

As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began

'Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years.

Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends...

I am here to tell all of you that being a
friend to someone is the best gift you can give them.

I am going to tell you a story.'

I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met.

He had planned to kill himself over the weekend.

He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home.

He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile.

'Thankfully, I was saved.

My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable.'

I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment.

I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile.

Not until that moment did I realize it's depth.

Never underestimate the power of your actions.

With one small gesture you can change a person's life.

For better or for worse.

went to google for quotes.

“Would you please tell me what you are thinking? Before I go mad?” - Edward Cullen
(why does that sound so familiar? :D)

"If I could dream at all, it would be about you. And I'm not ashamed of it." - Edward Cullen

"Bella, I can't live in a world where you don't exist." - Edward Cullen

"But how could you believe me? After all the thousand times I've told you I love you, how could you let one word break your faith in me?" - Edward Cullen

hi my name is lydia and i was feeling quite horrible about not having anything to do until i received a call for a job interview :D

the world is colourful again. [:

(by the way, 'The History of Love' by Nicole Krauss may have won quite a few awards, but i think it was absolute crap. it's the second book in all my life that i'm going to give up on reading. its too draggy; i was almost bored to death.)

one of the many reasons you should watch stardust:

"You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves... You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan is... I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange - no fits. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine."
-Yvaine, Stardust

koped from blaws! it's super super sweeeet read it read it! even though its in chinese, you must read it! (':

幼儿接送车上

一个小女孩紧张地望着身旁的小男孩，他头和玻璃碰撞的声音，让她有点担心。会不会撞坏脑袋啊！她妈妈说小脑袋是要好好保护的。小女孩鼓起勇气摇了摇男孩。男孩睁开朦胧的双眼，困惑地望着身旁的女孩。

“你不痛吗？”女孩指了指他的头。

男孩没理会女孩，径自倒向窗边。“咚！”车子的摇晃让小男孩结结实实的撞上了玻璃。男孩揉着撞疼的地方，恼怒的对上女孩的眼。都是她害的。

女孩被瞪得有点害怕，她讨好似的将手中的饼干递到男孩面前。“给你吃啊……”

男孩的目光并没放在饼干上，而是女孩的肩膀上。圆乎乎的，男孩用食指戳了戳，好像家里的枕头哦！软乎乎的。男孩很满意自己的发现。他将头放在女孩肩上，舒服地闭上眼睛。

女孩则愣在那，一动也不敢动……
　　
下课的铃声响了，女孩背起粉红色的小书包走出教室。却发现男孩站在门口等她。男孩对女孩笑了笑，拉起女孩的手，马上又放开，再握住，捏捏，呵呵，肉肉的好舒服哦！

“一起回家吧！”男孩高兴的拉起女孩的手说。

“恩。”女孩笑了。

小学校公车上

男孩一脸满足的靠在女孩肩上，小手紧紧地握着女孩的手。

“你以后不能再握我的手了，还有我的肩膀也不能给你靠了。”女孩认真对男孩说。

“为什么？”男孩抬起头不解地问。

“因为女生都说我‘羞羞羞跟男生乱牵手’。”女孩委屈的扁扁小嘴。
　　
“你不要理她们啊……”

“可……可是妈妈也说了这是等我长大以后和男朋友和老公可以做的事啊。”

头又晕了，男孩无力地靠在女孩的肩上说：“那等你长大后，我做你的男朋友和老公啊！”很简单的事嘛，有什么好想的。

“真的？”

“恩！”

女孩笑了，将头轻轻的放在男孩头上。嘻嘻！她以后就不用怕别人说了，因为男孩以后会是她的男朋友和老公嘛！

初中公交车上
　　

“我想减肥，你说好不好？”女孩问靠在他肩上的男孩。

只见男孩皱了皱眉头。“干嘛？”

“就是想减嘛！”女孩小声地嘟囔着。

“不行！”男孩想也没想地拒绝了。真不知道最近的女生在想些什么，把自己的脸搞的跟鬼似的。他可不希望她也这样，还是象现在这样红红润润的好。

“可是我想减……”女孩小声的抗议。她不喜欢自己现在这样，肥嘟嘟的。跟他一点也不配。她希望别人说他们是‘金童玉女’而不是‘蛤蟆和天鹅’。

“你减了，我就不要你了！”男孩不放心地威胁道。

“哦。”女孩无奈的应允着。她有点难过地看着一旁的男孩。她只想自己能配得上他而已啊！

高中公交车上

男孩的身旁坐了个细细瘦瘦的女孩，女孩坐得很端正，男孩则将头靠在车窗上。两个人一句话也没说。沉默着。

直到公车到了站点，女孩一言不发的起身走下车。而男孩依旧靠在车窗，眼睛盯着身旁已经空荡的座位发呆。

“你还不下吗？”司机老伯问男孩。

“哦！要下了。”男孩起身用纸巾擦了擦身旁的座位，然后才走下车。

自从女孩搬家后，男孩发现自己已经不再晕车了。但他还是习惯靠在窗边，让头和玻璃碰撞着，他希望女孩能听到，然后回来。像以前一样对着他说：“你不痛吗？”然后指指他的头。

他想女孩了，很想。男孩现在上学已经不需要在做公交车了。但每个双休日他还是会跑来坐上一圈。这里有太多太多女孩和他的回忆了。他在这里曾偷偷的亲了女孩的脸颊，他在这里曾用力的弹过她额头，他也曾在这里使劲捏过她鼻子，他曾在这里……

大学公交车上

男孩忧郁的望向窗外，已经过了一年了，他都已经上大二了，可是女孩依旧没出现。她和他约好了的，彼此都会努力，为了考进同一所大学。他跟她说过了等她长大后，他会当她男朋友和老公的。她忘了吗？她怎么可以失约呢？

这时车子猛烈的摇晃让男孩撞上了车窗，发出很响的是声音。但男孩依旧靠在车窗，似乎刚才的碰撞并没给他带来多大的疼痛。

“你不痛吗？”一个怯生生的声音响起。

男孩豁然睁开眼睛。看见身旁的女孩正指着他的头。他有点激动的抓住女孩的手“小倪？”

女孩浑身一震慌乱地摇头否认：“你……你认错人了，我不是！”

“你是！如果你不是你耳朵边的两颗痣怎么解释？”男孩指着她耳朵追问。

“我……”

“为什么不来找我？”男孩痛苦地问。你明明回来了，为什么不来找我。

“我……我没有减肥，是它自己瘦下来的……”女孩委屈地泛红了眼睛。

“这跟你不见我有什么关系！”男孩生气了。

“怎么没关系啊！你说要是我减了，你就不要我了。”女孩委屈的控诉着。

男孩被弄得一愣一愣的，记忆中好像真的存在过那么一句话。

男孩没好气地将女孩的头揽过来放在自己肩上说：“笨蛋！我又不是那个意思。”

女孩抽噎着，靠在男孩肩上。

“我很想你，真的！好想你……”

“我也是好想好想……”

“以后你只要靠着我就好了。”

“恩。”

“我爱你。”

“我也是。”

Watched Little Manhattan today (:

Its a romantic comedy about a 10 3/4 year old boy's (his name's Gabe) first love with a 11 year old girl, Rosemary. A really sweet and touching rendition of puppy love (: Quotes!

(A little background info: Gabe's parents are ignoring each other before they're officially divorced. They still live together though. Adam is the name of Gabe's dad.)
Gabe: Dad, what's the deal with girls? I mean, why are they the way they are?
Adam: You're talking to the wrong man.
Gabe: Well, how come all love has to end?
Adam: Let me tell you something about me and your mom. Once upon a time, we really loved each other, but as time went by, there just got to be all these things, little things, stupid things, that were left unsaid. And all these things that were left unsaid piled up, like the clutter in our storage room. And after awhile, there was so much that was left unsaid, that we barely said anything at all.
Gabe: Well, why didn't you just say them then, dad?
Adam: I don't know, Gabe. I kind of wish I had.

Unsaid words, or misunderstandings, could conceal the love a couple has for each other. So remember that communication is the key! :D
FYI, Gabe's dad finally musters the courage to empty his 'storage room' of unsaid stupid things, and Gabe's parents get back together again! :D Tada, a very happy family.

Gabe's view on love after his enlightening small talk with dad:

Gabe: Suddenly, I knew what I had to do. Love isn't about ridiculous little words. Love is about grand gestures. Love is about airplanes pulling banners over stadiums, proposals on jumbo-trons, giant words in sky writing. Love is about going that extra mile even if it hurts, letting it all hang out there. Love is about finding courage inside of you that you didn't even know was there.

Aww <3

And here's Gabe confessing his love for Rosemary, after his small talk with his dad (above):

Rosemary: But I thought you hate me.
Gabe: I don't. I lied. I wasn't gonna be like my father. I wasn't gonna let all these things left unsaid smother me. Rosemary, I love you.
Rosemary: You what?
Gabe: I do. I'm sorry, but I love you more than anyone's ever loved. I love you, I love you, I love you.
Gabe: [thinking] How's that for letting it all hang out there? And hang, and hang, and hang.
Gabe: [out loud] You think you might wanna love me, too?
Rosemary: I don't know what I think, Gabe, I'm only 11. I don't think I'm ready to be in love.
Gabe: I'm not ready and I'm doing it!
Rosemary: Maybe I was wrong, maybe girls don't mature faster.
Gabe: No they do, they do, you know they do. You even said so at the park. We at least mature at the same rate.
Rosemary: I don't know what mature is anymore, but I'm really happy you came. Do you want to dance, Gabe?
Gabe: Sure, what the hell.

Some quotes showing that Little Manhattan is touching, inspiring, and humorous too! :D

Gabe: [watching Rosemary looking at herself in the mirror in her flower girl dress] Okay, what's going on here? What the heck is this? Oh my God. What's this feeling in the pit of my stomach? Who is this - this amazing creature before me? I looked at Rosemary and just felt so, um, confused. She's a girl. I'm supposed to despise girls, not feel nervous talking to one, not feel tongue-tied. I mean this was Rosemary Telesco, I knew her since Kindergarten!

Gabe: [thinking] My first date. The big spender. Haagen-Daas all the way, baby. So, how come I have nothing to say to her. Why isn't she looking at me? Am I that hideous? Do I Smell?
Gabe: [out loud] You um come here often?
Rosemary: Central Park?
Gabe: Um, yeah.
Gabe: [thinking] What kind of question is that? I hate myself.

Gabe: Never had I felt so alive! I had a date with Rosemary! Was there any better age to be in any better city in the world?

Yay! :D If you have HBO/Star Movies (I can't remember which one, though I think it was on HBO) you must must watch this :D

Edit: HOOPS AND YOYOOOO (and Piddles!!) :D

(FYI, Hoops is the pink kitty, Yoyo the green bunny, and Piddles the blue something sees them as her best friends! :D)

Edit: Quote! :D Shall make it into pictures one day ;D

2 a.m. and the rain is falling
Here we are at the crossroads once again
You're telling me you're so confused
You can't make up your mind
Is this meant to be
You're asking me
Chorus
But only love can say - try again or walk away
But I believe for you and me
The sun will shine one day
So I'll just play my part
And pray you'll have a change of heart
But I can't make you see it through
That's something only love can do

In your arms as the dawn is breaking
Face to face and a thousand miles apart
I've tried my best to make you see
There's hope beyond the pain
If we give enough, if we learn to trust

[Chorus]

I know if I could find the words
To touch you deep inside
You'd give our dream just one more chance
Don't let this be our last good-bye

[Chorus]
That's something only love can do

thanks blaws for sending it to me! :D
koped lyrics and translation from blaws' blog!

Les rêves des amoureux sont comm'(e) le bon vin
Ils donn(ent) de la joie ou bien du chagrin
Affaibli par la faim je suis malheureux
Volant en chemin tout ce que je peux
Car rien n'est gratuit dans la vie

L'espoir est un plat bien trop vite consommé
A sauter les repas je suis habitué
Un voleur solitaire est triste à nourrir
A un jeu si amer je n'peux réussir
Car rien n'est gratuit dans...

La vie... Jamais on ne me dira
Que la course aux étoiles; ça n'est pas pour moi
Laissez moi vous émerveiller et prendre mon en vol
Nous allons en fin nous régaler

La fêt(e) va enfin commencer
Sortez les bouteilles; finis les ennuis
Je dresse la table, de ma nouvell(e) vie
Je suis heureux à l'idée de ce nouveau destin
Une vie à me cacher et puis libre enfin
Le festin est sur mon chemin

Une vie à me cacher et puis libre enfin
Le festin est sur mon chemin

TRANSLATION

Dreams are to lovers as wine is to friends
Carried through lifetimes, (and) spilled now and then
I am driven by hunger, so saddened to be
Thieving in darkness; I know you're not pleased
But nothing worth eating is free

My hope is a banquet impatiently downed
Impossibly full, now I'll probably drown
Many thieves' lives are lonely with one mouth to feed
If giving means taking, I'll never succeed
For nothing worth stealing is...

Free at last; won't be undersold
Surviving isn't living; won't eat what I'm told
Let me free, I'll astonish you; I'm planning to fly
I won't let this party just pass me by

The banquet is now underway, so...
Bring out the bottles; a new tale has spun
In clearing this table, my new life's begun
I am nervous, excited; (oh) just read the marquee!
A lifetime of hiding; I'm suddenly free!
My dinner is waiting for me

A lifetime of hiding; I'm suddenly free!
My dinner is waiting for me

WHEEEE <3
i feeeel like watching it again! hahaha.

When you have to look away
When you dont have much to say
That's when i love you
I love you just that way
To hear you stumble when you speak
Or see you walk with two left feet
That's when i love you
I love you endlessly

And when you're mad cuz you lost a game
Forget im waitin in the rain
Baby i love you
I love you anyway

So here's my promise made tonight
You can count on me for life
Cuz thats when i love you
When nothin you do could change my mind
The more i learn
The more i love
The more my heart cant get enough
That's when i love you
When i love you no matter what

So when you turn to hide your eyes
Cuz the movie it madeyo u cry
That's when i love you i love you a lil more each time
And when you cant quite match your clothes
Or when you laugh at your own jokes
That's when i love you
I love you more than you'll know

And when you forget that we had a date
Or that look that you get when u show up late
Baby i love you
I love you anyway

So here's my promise made tonight
You can count on me for life
Cuz thats when i love you
When nothin you do can change my mind
The more i learn the more i love
The more my heart cant get enough
Thats when i love you i love you no matter what

Thats when i love you
When nothin baby
Nothin you do can change my mind
The more i learn
The more i love
The more my heart cant get enough
Thats when i love you when i love you
No matter what

call me a weird/crazy/whatever person, but i think im happier with exams than without.

with the exams gone i'm suddenly plunged into cold, dark emptiness. whats this, a phobia of a stress-free life? i havent felt like this in aaaages, and definitely not during the exam period. sure, i was stressed, lethargic, and tired during the exam period. but i was happy.

the fact that im actually typing all this reflects what the sudden lack of stress does to me.

i hereby promise myself that:
1. i will do work. i will mug hard for math (and philo), and i will read lots and lots and improve my english and chinese standard.
2. i will not get emotional. ever, ever again. ever, ever, ever.
3. to pack my daily schedules so i wont have time to let my thoughts wander or think negative thoughts

tomorrow's agenda!
1. revise techniques of differentiation and integration
2. read my book (:
3. watch the 9pm show
4. ORGANISE BIO LOG :O

i practically survive on stress.

and guess what? i feel happier already. (:
