went joanna's house today! we've been friends for sooo long yet it was my first time ever going over to her place. lol. spent abt 3hrs+ there just talking and watching princess hours. well more like fast forwarding princess hours to all the nice bits. lol. please la joanna the guy isnt even THAT cute. hahahaha.

then on my way back home, i bumped into gen! cos i took bus down to toa payoh from joanna's and gen happened to be having her roadshow there! at first when she approached me to hand me a flyer i thought she was some pesky salesgirl and prepared to flee. imagine my shock when i realised it was her lol. total coincidence, cos i just happened to walk pass there.. was looking for bubble tea to buy hahaha. so hung around with her while she distributed flyers and then accompanied her for her dinner break.

she gave me like 1wk's supply of vitagen (in assorted flavours) and milk along with shampoo samples and some other random freebies to take home.

interesting day. but im feeling oh-so-guilty now cos i've got work due and tests coming up and i havent started on anything! nevertheless, pretty contented today :)

i think we all put up fronts.. we smile when really we're just dying inside. and what for? cos we dont want others to know of our hurt, our pain. we dont want the questions. we wanna pretend that everything's ok. but sometimes the guard comes down. it may be for awhile, or even just a few seconds.. and we let our true feelings show. and it is in those moments when u least expect it, u may find someone who understands. someone who cares. someone who listens.


thank you for listening. thank you for understanding. thank you for sharing. and most importantly, thank you for just being there.


i feel less alone.

lately it seems like it doesnt take much to piss me off. small things seem to annoy me greatly. dont know if its cos im starting to feel stressed with all the assignments pouring in. seriously need an outlet to vent all these pent up angst. perhaps i shall invest in a punching bag. then again i'd have to get boxing gloves, and god knows how much it'll all come up to. seem to have lost all zest for life. but its not like i had much of it in the first place.

MONEY.

to me, its the root of all evil.

arguments.
wars.
scandals.
jealousy.
theft.

oh the things we go through to get rich.


some may say that having loads of cash can buy you happiness.


well, i am blessed with more than enough.

yet am i happy?

16th july 2007. a monday.

yeah talk about major monday blues.


just had a horrible, horrible, day.

firstly, someone hurt my feelings really bad (though its resolved now).
secondly, a person whom i've trusted all these years betrayed me (im not over this).
thirdly, i picked up my phone only to realise that there was no one i could call. or even sms. not one single person whom i could talk to that would actually understand.


and it was that point in time i never felt more alone.

thats a snapshot of my cupboard after i finally got down to tidying it today. ok fine it still looks messy but u should have seen it before! forgot to take a pic.. if not can do the whole before/after thing. lol.


spent about 3hrs arranging, hanging and folding everything. also separated and bagged up clothes to be sold online (if i EVER get down to it.. god knows) and to be given to my new maid. i think i lost 5kg or something in the process. phew!


and since im uploading pics again, here are a few more for u to feast ur eyes on.


Thursday, July 12, 2007

so my maid flew back to philippines for good this morning. its been a long time since i woke up at 5am. hah.

its been 8yrs.. or thereabouts, since she's been with my family. yeah how time flies. surprisingly i didnt cry at the airport. maybe i'd mentally prepared myself.

but goodbyes are... never easy.

anyway, life still consists of oc dvds, marvel comics and my random blog ramblings. im so not ready to give up this time to myself (i.e. bumming around & being unproductive).


not yet.

well the holidays are coming to an end and its back to school and assignments for me.

i was thinking of something random..

ok i know not everyone believes in horoscopes and im not saying i do either.. just that some things really do make sense. like i read as a pisces, i tend to be very sensitive towards the emotions of others, and i feel their pain.. whether i want to or not.

is this getting too emo/weird for u?

haha.

anyway.. so i realised if its anything to go by, i certainly am that sensitive. and it makes me wanna help pple.. wanna soothe their anxiety even though logic tells me sometimes they just gotta work things out on their own, and i wont be of much help.

yet i still try.

i guess it makes me sound kinda righteous.. but yeah. dont really know how to put it. however unlike those superheroes i read about in comic books, i cant save everyone. god knows i cant even save myself.

perhaps its in the weaknesses of others, i find strength.

and i look around and am reminded once again that the grass isnt always greener on the other side. the reality checks keep me going.

she is so so pretty!

why does the mtv have to be so sad though? awww :'(

Tuesday, July 03, 2007

today is stay at home monday.

i am sooo tired from going out everyday. not to mention extremely broke.

am getting used to the new hairstyle though i still feel a bit sad when i see girls with nice, long straight hair :( nevertheless, everyone who's seen it so far said its nice :)

anyone wants to watch transformers with me?

decided that i will not go running simply cos i do not have the energy nor the determination. i think the endless hours of shopping helps burn off calories anyway.

have managed to achieve quite a fair bit of what i set out to do this hols so am pretty pleased with myself.

gets tiring though.

will compile more food pics for u pple when im feeling less lazy. haha.

someone once said not to plan for anything, cos it was bound to screw up in the end. so why plan anyway?

at first i didnt believe that person.. but now im starting to reconsider. perhaps there is some truth to that.

i dunno.. i suppose for now you'd pretty much guessed that my plans for today screwed up. yeah.. u could say that. but im getting used to it.

cant help feeling disappointed though (as usual)

what a bummer.

aside from that, i am enjoying my hols. or whats left of it. one more week to go..

i am so sick of orchard road. tmr ill be heading to city hall area, and probably bugis sometime later this week. and then its back to orchard road -_-


sighhhhhhhh.

oh well. at least im making the most of my hols and catching up with pple. much needed break.. :)
