far away

i read on.
hoping to see a strain of familiarity.
i read on.
hoping to feel relativity.

i'm glad.
that everything is going fine.
i'm glad.
you've found smthg that make you happy.
i'm glad.
to see that you've grown wiser & stronger (nvr fatter)

fear.
afraid that sometimes you feel alone.
fear.
afraid that one day we just aren't close anymore.
fear.
afraid that one day i will lose u.

sometimes.
i wished i'm still a part of your life.
tho small.
i really wished.

"no comment"

Tall, Skinny with tidy curls in her hair.
She looks polite & petite, but don't you ever mess with her flare.
She does have her temper, so tease her dun you dare.
But deep down you'd know that she really really cared.

Responsible & sensible, she'll comfort you on a bad day.
Trying to make you happy again in her own way.
Ironically "No comment", thats what she'll always say,
Though she'll always be there, come what may.

"Olive Oyl" ppl would call her.
We'd laugh & echo the tease, but it didn't matter.
As the years go by and we got closer,
We soon realized we'd be friends forever.

Happy Birthday My Love.
:)

ensemble

The sun you see, makes me think of you
The miracle of it, the wonder too
I see you both everyday as you know
To stop seeing either, I'd have to say, no

nice quaint dinner
:)

awesome car show
(i'm such a guy right? but it was awesomeeeeeee~)

I actually went coz of Transformers' Bumble Bee.
i thought i'd be blown away.

then i realized, hoho...
the Chevy Camaro stole my attention.
:D

*faints*
O.O stares
cold breeze
amazing view
the company kept me smiling cheek to cheek
:)

------------------------------------------------
watched finally watched HP with Topper & Squiddy Kor.
bunch of jokers.
i havent seen them in ages.
:)


-----------------------------
a lil trick i learnt from the ex.
My "romantic" dinner with Mandy
at Jusco.
Tahpao-ed food & drinks.
We chilled on a bench while the whole world was chasing dinner at a crowded restaurant.
:)

------------------------------------
some colors grow on you
different phases.

I use to love Luscious Green.
then in college i slowly turned to Blood Red.
I tink Green is growing back at me again.
:)

rain on me

i love rain.
i never quite get why ppl say "rain on me" as though its a bad thing.
I'm a water baby.
I admit to that.

I'm the kid whose mom would need to nag & yell
just to keep me out of the rain.
:)

"Dun play with the rain la!" she's say
"Dirty a! later fall sick a!" She'd add in
:D

High school was fun.
Bunch of jokers my friends were.
:D
I rmb rainy days where we'd all be running amok in the padang.
The boys after a muddy football game.
The screams, laughter & giggles.
The bruises from the wet towel/white shirt flicking.

I rmb being ambushed by the boys one day in form3.
Was "abducted" and forced out into the rain.
Literally.
Held against my will.
Outside in the rain.
With the 4 jokers.
I dun even know if I should scream or laugh.

Jumping on puddles on the way home.
Those were the days.

Though mom was never happy with my dirty baju kurungs.
teehee.

Even if it didn't rain.
That never stopped us from having fun.
We'd puncture our plastic bottle cap and spray water at each other.
water balloon fights.
Tap water fights in the toilet!
:p

ahhh...
those were the days.

10 years from now.

Ok i would admit that I am a bit of a stalker.
I can stalk and dig up alot of stuff if i had the time to.

I'm just KEHPO liddat. I also dunno why.

But I was stalking my bro in law and sister last week.
They're in their early 30's.
:)
>> No i did not do it on purpose, you'll see the relevance soon as you read on. I promise

You see, as I was looking through their photos and tags, wall posts and well "wall activities" la.
I cant help but notice a few very familiar names & faces.
Names which I've head since i was a 6 yrs old.
Faces which would come over to our hse every CNY/gathering/birthdays etc.
A group of friends which they've met during HighSchool.

Now i shall not name mention. But i find it amazing, that a bond this strong can transcend and remain through out the years.
They went to high school together, lepak-ed together, went to form6, uni etc.
Now, ppl move on (thats what ppl always say).
But when my sis got married they were the brides maids & best mans (heng tais).
vise versa for them as well.

Just last CNY i found it so amazing that they still do their ritual CNY gathering/visiting.
The bunch of them, married or paktohing or single; with kids or just married.
They'd eat groundnuts, gamble alil, play some cards, drink and "talk cock" la!
A few of them even have kids of their own, who are btw around the same age as my niece & nephew!

These are the people who'd insist you fetch them on your 1st ride when you bought a car;
These are the people who you'd wanna introduce ur bf/gf to;
These are the people who'd throw your bachelor party;
These are the people who'd not only come for your wedding but help in every bit they can;
These are the people who'd be there anxiously waiting with their phones when you're delivering your 1st child in the hospital.
Not to say you're at any point remotely related at all.
But they are there none the less.
:)

I found it so heart warming.
I wish I'd have the blessing of that similar experience as well.
As naive or innocent they say highschool besties are, I happen to think they are friendship in the purest form.
Without an ulterior motive, with no bad intentions.

I wish we'll never break up.
I wish we'll still be there for each other.
I wish we can complain about boyfriends to each other.
I wish we can bitch about work together.
I wish we can be "aunties" & "see lai" together.
I wish we'll grow old together.

i love my cartoonz.
:)

siao tah por

sudak balik budak ini.
:P

assumptions.

we always judge people.

no matter how much we say we dont.

we do.

its a norm we do.

LV bag - oooh.... high class.

charles & keith - hmmm... stylish practical.

jimmy choo - diva?

happy energetic not bad looking dude - gotta have a gf, else he's gay.

some single apek in the cyber cafe - adult friend finders? O.o

=.=

you see a bubbly chirpy guy who loves colors, he's gay?

you see a uncle with a chinese girl eating dinner, she's a gold digger?

you see a auntie with a young lad shopping, she's cradle snatcher?

lawyers - drunken indians (i'm nt racist)

pharmacist - nice chinese girls

accountants - CINAAA.

designers - sloppy dude, with no routine and an attitude.

interior designers (guy) - gay

advertising?

they're either labeled - wild, slutty, social, drunks, philanderer, sleep around, have parties, alcoholics.

i dun get it.

not everyone's like that.

the work is already difficult enough.

as though the stress isnt already unbearable.

now this?

i'm sick of my friends and family asking,

eh don't go clubbing la.

eh u drink alot a?

dun drink la.

do u smoke?

why u so wild one?

and it pisses me off so bad.

2 yrs of work.

i've been in a club 3 or 4 times.

i do not smoke.

i dun get piss drunk.

i dun fool around.

i kept track of my spendings.

i try to have friends.

i try to be friendly.

i go yumcha, not clubbing.

i dont buy designer labels.

i'm already dead broke as it is.

i've been effing rational!

i've done less that what some normal college kids do every week.

i see ppl getting piss drunk every day.

i still see clubs filled with 20 yr olds.

when i finish work early in the morning, i jam home with a bunch of drunk kids.

i dun mind strangers having that assumption.

i really dun giv a fuck.

but if u still claim u know me, and love me.

then please. don't make assumptions which are as hurtful.

the most hurtful words come from ppl who u care the most.

those sting like a steel knife cutting down your throat.

i dont even wanna explain.

if u understand me, thank you. you have no idea how much that means to me.

if you dont, i'm sorry i've wasted your time.

i'm sorry i've been a failure to you.

as a colleague, as a friend, as a bestie, as your sister, as your daughter.

I Would Trade - Clarensau

Indra shared with me this song.
I love his song selection, from the 1st time i met him

till now, his 1st play list to me is still my fav.
As the rhythm of the acoustic guitar strum in my ears, i cant help but feel for this indie song.
Feelings so raw, affection so endearing.

The most beautiful thing about a song?
Is the fact that songs can bring back visuals & memories.
How a song connects to you... thats how good a song can be.

Everyone lost someone special before, or almost lost someone you loved.
This song brought me back to the cold hospital rooms, beeping of machines.
The hopefull yet hopeless sense of wishing, praying, hoping that everything would be fine.
How we frantically search for signs of the next step.
What should we do?
What can we do?

This song brought me back to the moments before she left.
This songs brought me back to the last few moments of her life with us.

I miss you amah.

I Would Trade - Clarensau

Another night in the waiting room
You’re fifty feet from me but I still miss you
Your body sleeps in that scary room
Unaware of the doctors that trying to save you

What can I do but wait
What can I do but pray

And I would trade all of my days to take the pain away
I would trade all of my days to take the pain away

Another night of restless sleep
When I wake will you still be here with me?
I’m looking for a sign of life
You squeeze my hand and maybe open your eyes

What can I do but wait
What can I do but pray

And I would trade all of my days to take the pain away
I would trade all of my days to take the pain away (Repeat till fade)

take me away

PD dun fail me now.
take me away.
sun on my head.
wind in my face.
salt in my hair.
sand in my underwear.

everything.
Please happen!

life goes on

my gastric has gotten better.

my portions have been cut down like 50%.

i dun eat alot now. *sadness i miss food*

i take my meds.

hopefully it'll all be over soon.

--------------------------------

life working has started to sinking in.

it becomes overwhelming sometimes.

yet sometimes it'd be rather mundane & routine.

Z says he's thinking of doing an internship or try to get a job in creative.

i'm excited. he finally came back. i hope he does gets it.

Life back to crafting. Thats the juice of it all, where the excitement is.

*secretly laughs* i guess life at samsung is getting rather boring huh?

--------------------------------

henry has gone back to Melbourne.

:(

idiot refuse to let me know what time he'll be flying.

so that i cant go send him off.

sigh.

there goes a few more months/yrs of not seeing him.

he damn jaga me, sumtimes almost like my brother.

eventho i lecture him more.

after so many years, we've been goin round n round n round in circles.

and finally here.

after so many yrs, we'd look back and say "wow, thats alot".

thank god u were there.

all the best in Melb brrraaaddeeerrr....

------------------------------

jack, gosh... its been so long.

when i heard the news i was concern.

i know how much she meant to you.

i honestly did not want u to go thru 2005 again.

perhaps, it really does take heartache to find ur frends.

if we didn't broke up, neither of us could have been the person we are now.

i dare say we learn smthg from each other, least i've learnt to be a better person becoz of u.

and eventho we're no longer together it doesnt mean that we no longer care.

i've witnessed u changed.

i've witnessed u grow.

from the bottom of my heart.

i'm proud of where u are now and wat u have achieved.

stay strong over there.

it's her lost for not appreciating.

trust me.

------------------------------

speaking of heartaches...

sigh.

i'm in a mess right now when it comes to relationships.

gosh. *smacks!!*

i wish i can smack myself awake.

sometimes i do feel like i'm a selfish person.

i need closure, i need assurance and i need confirmation.

i always want to know, if its gonna work.

if its not gonna work or i'm nt sure if its gonna work, i'd rather not start anything at all.

why go thru so much when ur not even sure if it'll be smthg u want?

isis says that love should not need that much of rationalizing.

i dunno. maybe i do think so much.

i'm quite comfortable at where i am now.

so how?

-----------------------------------

as i've told myself and so many other people.

relationships should be the least of my worries.

i'm 22. wheres the rush? if it comes it will. if not, i'm doing fine as well.

as promised, i need to spend this time mapping my life.

doing what i need to do now.

my family, my work & *new addition* my health. yikes!

at certain points of life...

it gets lonely.

i miss having someone around.

i miss getting hugs.

i miss roadtrips and makan trips with the cartoonz.

i miss singing and chit chatting with temple frens.

i need to re-organize.

wahahahahahahah

how fun.

:P
