echoes

i really don't know what to do anymore.
couldn't sleep until 1am last night:
there were shivers down my spine and screaming in my head.
honestly, i have no idea what's happening, but sometimes, i wish i could just quit this whole thing.

so from 2300 to 0100 i was just lying on the bed,
tossing and turning and praying and trying to get the screaming out,
but it didn't really work and i fell asleep cos of exhaustion.
i'm really scared there'll be a relapse tonight.

missed church today cos i forgot to charge my phone in the chaos last night,
and so the alarm didn't ring.
went to tampines with family,
bought paper to make your birthday card.
i don't know how to say sorry to you,
because you really ought to say sorry to me too.

went to spend the day with my lil bro while my mum went home to rest.
i am such a nice person LOL.

pulled my sole muscles this morning.
now it's twitching and having really sudden spasms of pain.
and it's painful ):
but today's a happy day cos i bought the national geographic magazine at $1.
great bargain LOL. haha. i love NGM's pictures.

up and down the merry go round.

i hate feeling helpless.
there's like so many things that i want to do but i can't,
so many things i should do, but it's not at the top of my priorities,
so many priorities that i can't remember all of them.

graah.
doing chinese compo now.
i'm sad.

You're my Prince of Peace


like a child letting go of a helium balloon:
we thought we had it all,
clenching the little ribboned string in our tiny fists,
thinking we'll never let go of this tiny piece of happiness in our hands.
and then something happens that makes us loosen that death clench,
and up goes the balloon, flying higher and higher and higher.
further from our grasps, rising above our heads;
losing that happiness we had.
but, like a child, we never stay sad for long - something else will distract us, all too soon.

that was POP'09.
in that five hours, our instructors left us,
but there wasn't time to feel sad because now there's instructorhood to keep us busy.
and it's suddenly all too big a responsibility.
yes, i love the standard ones, but i don't know. it's an awful load for me.
but i'll try to keep the balloon in my hands this time round.


with little, childish innocence,
(shall i view the world:)
no more tinted glasses nor kaleidoscopes.
things shall be as they seem.
no more extra imagination,
nor a little too much consideration.
no, no more.


signing off with just a little faith, trust and pixie dust.
(God be with me.)

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.

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)

check yes juliet, are you with me?

run baby run, don't ever look back.
they'll tear us apart, if you give them the chance.

yeah. that's me running away from my fears;
me trying desperately to cling on to what I have left;
so that in the end, I still have a shard of who I was.

I learnt quite a lot from IDMI today.
not the parts where I had to act, but rather those that I didn't have to care about.
because then, I didn't have to think through what I was supposed to do.
ah. I don't know what I'm rambling about now.

I think I'll miss IDMI when it's over ):

-----

I haven't eaten dinner yet.
I miss my mama's cooking ):
ate mcs twice today.
I think I can't stand another round of it.

lol.
I'm rushing out some stuff now.
blog later (:

&that butterfly moment (crushed like a paperball)

I really counted on spending Fathers' Day with my dad.
It's just been so long since I saw him.
It was like a second chance when I heard that I could go to vietnam with my aunt.
A second chance to finish that card I couldn't complete before my family flew;
a second chance to finally do what I never dared to.

And now, that could all go in that blink of a moment.
Because we are, afterall, poor people.
And I can't take the plane alone, as much as I'd like to.

I really don't want to spend Fathers' Day alone.
