So thank you for showing me,

That best friends can not be trusted.

i went to school in a very good mood.
because i seriously thought that it'll be better; that friends do make life much happier.
and then the day went spiralling downhill straight after flag raising.
i guess it's just another day of being me.
the piece of the puzzle that never quite fits.

and the worse part is it really hurts trying to make myself fit/seeing people try to make me fit.
because deep inside, we all know it's not possible.
because deep inside, there's always this little nagging voice that says you're not good enough.

y'know when they say things change? they're lying.
things don't change. circumstance does.
the way things happen don't change. the people who do it; they way that they do it change.
and reactions don't change. don't learn that the hard way.
don't regret things after they happen.

i'm sorry.
i guess things would have been better if i wasn't there.
i guess sometimes, i have to acknowledge that i'm not that visible.
i guess i'm getting my prayer answered: to get closer to God. but i didn't expect to get it through broken heartedness.

skimmed through the rest of the day through lenses.
i should have paid more attention.
i should have taken the initiative.
i should have just left.
alice shouldn't have came.

-----

after school was... bearable?
had lunch with wuyue, discussed some stuff with haihua.
and then my skirt got caught by ms lee/li.
like fuck. it's my worst day ever in school, and my skirt got caught for being 2cm too short.
was i supposed to expect it? i guess so, given the day's karma.
so yeah. i got booked for the first time in my three years in dunman.
and ms lee went down into the trenches of teachers who i think are unreasonable.
i mean, other people actually get a chance before they get booked.
and wala! first time i meet her in 2 years, i had to get booked.
fucker.

then finished up Benny cards with juniors.
got a phone call from haihua saying that i was year 1 parade commander.
like woah. 5 minutes before i left school my role changed from photographer to commander.
and i couldn't stay to practice.
and i really don't want to screw things up tomorrow.
i've screwed up enough today.

took the mrt with wuyue.
didn't talk much.
didn't feel cheerful enough for idle chat.
doesn't it feel like life's too short to waste it on such stuff?
that sometimes we should just let go of more things and go a little crazy?
that sometimes, that all we need to do.

i guess i learned the connotation of macro in photography terms.
it's being part of the big picture, but never really clear.
it's being there, and being not there at the same time.
it's thinking you mean something, but you actually don't.

And thank you for lying to me,
Your friendship and good times we had you can have them back.

3,2,1 we're going live

ran 2.4km in 8.57
it's either i've become really, really good at running,
or the markings in the park is wrong and i'm really running 200m/round instead of 300.
hm.
shall test on the track. haha.

ah well.
i'm a free person today.

just a little too late.

I really thought I was over it, but I'm not.
and I don't think I ever will until we get this conflict resolved.

to whoever is concerned (you probably know who you are):
am I supposed to take your classical as mine cos you took the electric as yours
because I really don't know what can keep our friendship and fufil our desires.

-----

Wuyue: I'm sorry for starting our day off so unhappily. Sleep deprivation does that to me. Extreme moodswings + really disconnected thoughts. There's a lot of things I haven't told you, that I need to tell you. Because I really can't keep it to myself anymore.

Kellie: Sorry for watching my unglam moments today /: Now you'll remember how horrible I look when I cry ): and hey, thanks for cheering me up. ILY, yeah?

Amanda: Thanks for going home with me :D LOL.

alrighty. don't feel like posting much today.
not in a good mood. don't think i'll be in one soon.
shall finish geog and do quiet time.
i need some time with God.

send my love to the stars

i'm sorry i haven't been posting much.
it's been late nights and long days this week.
my twitter's probably more active than my blog now.
at least there it's more bite sized pieces of epiphanies.
here i have to type everything out in long superfluous sentences like this one.

went jogging this morning.
refreshed my mind loads.
i guess i kinda miss going back to nature.

carousel

because sometimes, just sometimes, we want to feel a little love.

i guess i'm just a little jealous right now.
it seems a little too childish, and a little immature.
but i can't help but want to be a little foolish,
to think that the whole world can revolve around me sometimes.

the thing about sharing a crush,
is that no matter how much you love the guy,
you'll be thinking about how much the other person loves him,
and how you're not loving enough.
make that 10 times worse when the other person is your friend.

yes. i guess that's jealousy.
add that with a dash of broken-heartedness.

through the looking glass

there are times where i feel like i'm looking through a glass:
sometimes it's a window, where everyone's in the house,
while i'm outside alone, in the rain.
sometimes, i'm looking through a rounded glass, kinda like a fishbowl,
and everything that i see comes out distorted and wrong.
sometimes i'm looking through a magnifying glass,
with everything looking like misfits.
sometimes i'm looking through tinted windows,
unsure of what i'm supposed to make out of it.
sometimes, it's frosted glass,
and i'm wondering why i was trying so hard to see what's on the otherside.

i'm sorry for the horrible grammar.
i'm just a little past caring about the people who are reading this.
because, afterall, they never bother to leave a tag.

blind spot

so sometimes when we think all hope is lost,
something happens to make you think 'why didn't i see it earlier? it's too late now'.
the thing is, it shouldn't be "why didn't i see it earlier", it should be "why didn't i focus on it".
because sometimes,
we stare at things without looking,
say things without considering,
act without thinking,
die without living.

sometimes, all we need is to focus on the details.
just the details, not the fine details.
because sometimes, focus too much and you'll be more miserable.

because life is just a cruel twist of fate.
(like a telephone wire, spinning you round)

Why, love, why love?

y'know, when people say they want to find their other half,
the person who makes them feel complete,
the one that connects with them,
does it ever occur to them that maybe they're just finding temporary satisfaction?

i mean, why spend half your life finding this person,
living like a stalker, making failed connections?
what if your other half doesn't fufil all the conditions that you set?
what if your other half doesn't think you're their other half and is searching for who they think their other half is?
what happens to you then?

then again, with all the falling in and out of love stuff going on everywhere,
what do their other half actually means to people?

why, then, do they keep going on about finding their 'other half'?

chew on it.

avada kedavra

alrighty. promised post coming up.

HARRY POTTER DAY :D
stayed back with wuyue for her centrestage until 4.30?
died of laughter in the jamming room.
wuyue: EH how come the keyboard no sound one?
me: it's not plugged into the socket.
wuyue: KEYBOARD NEED ELECTRICITY ONE AH?

haha.
then chionged to orchard to meet my sis for dinner.
shared pepper lunch, then went to lido to buy popcorn and stuff.
got some cadbury thingo cos apparently xiamei's tickets were from cadbury.
then we went in and slacked in our AWESOME seats (:
haha. waited for like forever before the movie started.
shall not spoil it here, but i think it was an awesome movie :D
even though draco doesn't look that nice anymore):
very heartbreaking movie.
i'll watch it again.
after HP walked around borders before going home.

and yesterday was just plain boring.
other than making IC and macbeth plot quiz.
which wasn't that bad.

-----

deja vu's just this really scary thing.
it's like having images of things you've never experienced in your head,
and experiencing it later.
like woah.

if i said i saw the hocrux scene in my head while reading the book, and freaked out when i watched the movie, will you believe me?

Late(r)

migraine prediction was correct.
panadols didn't work, and i think i might die of overdosage.
i'm trying out my sister's way of sticking the muscle ache sticker thing on the head.
no effect so far, 'cept that it burns so much that i don't feel the headache.
and there's this really bitter taste in my mouth that i can't get rid of.
is this some after-effect or something?

gah. i just want to runaway and hide in a hole or something.
it feels like there's the white rabbit repeating "i'm late, i'm late" in my head.
it's 10.35pm. not late in usual context, but i'm feeling rather sick.
there's this chinese assignment that i really have to work on 'cos it was due last friday. that's late.
there's idmi meeting tomorrow, and i have to rush some thing out. (late)
i feel like just falling asleep and not waking up; who cares if i'm late?
late; late; late.

i feel like i'm supposed to do something now, but i don't know what.
it's not something on my mental checklist.
it's like God calling me to do something, but i'm disobeying Him for human wants.
and i know i'm supposed to do something about it because i know it's not right, but i just want to rebel.
i don't like being diabolical.

i need some time on my own.
(it's the after-effects of acting)

Solve the equation of C = A + W + X

i feel like i'm the part of the equation that no one knows and hardly bothers to find out.
like Q(x) in polynomials.
always there, but not quite noticible.
in the know yet not known.
i feel like some character shakespeare created:
speaking in dichotomies; never really understood.
it's like losing yourself again and again, and never really finding all that you had.
it's never being who you were, it's being trapped in that maze till you die,
it's walking with God blindfolded, yet you never know He's there, and you stumble.
it's having a stroll down a dark alley in your neighbourhood at the middle of the night, you think it's safe, but you never really know what might be coming.
it's living in faith, but losing your trust.

it's doubting in what you believed in.
because you don't really believe in it anymore.

i'm sorry if you don't understand this post,
it was alice taking over wendy.

ps. christine = wendy + alice + faith, trust & pixie dust.
