i want to give it my best
but i'm fighting a battle against time..
n the limitations of my physical strength
often i feel myself succumbing to fatigue
my eye lids are drooping..
i'm tired
though i havent done much
there's so much i should do
so much i could do...
so much i want to do....
sigh.

i was blind
i'm not an analytical person. when presented with a variety of choices, i dont do comparions, dont take into account the competition, dont analyse the hurdles nor consequences ahead.... i simply go with my feelings... i'm simply just do whatever that feels right for me...
dont they always say..you should just follow your heart?
if any things were as simple as that... perhaps i'm really just a very simple person. i dont really give much thought into situations, so long as the 'feeling is right'.
so when someone starts unloading a whole truckload of information to me, i suddenly feel...lost. it's as if...i was running in the jungle..directionless, and all of a sudden, someone comes along and asks me,"do you know where you're running to?".
it's true..whatever she said made a whole lot of sense. i supposed i've always known, just that i never took the time to stop and ask myself the same questions, though deep down inside, i've always known that something is wrong with the way i'm handling my life.
she is right, i'm in desperate need of a magnifying glass, to focus and burn.
i need to think, think and thinnnk!!!! sigh it's so tough being a human. there are so many things to think about.
why cant i just be like everyone else? a normal 21 yr old student...
stressed, tired, and jaded, before i have even taken any step.
how pathetic.
but yea..when all else goes wrong..just smile..right? :)

emotional
today was a bad day. i havent felt so stressed in a long time, stressed to the point that i was practically close to tears. it wasn't a big deal; it wasnt even my problem to begin with, yet i'm unwittingly hauled into this shithole. so for a while, i was just comtemplating various solutions, turning them heads over heels in my mind, and listening to the supposed kind advice coming in from several concerned people around me.
so what if i'm naive? so let me be naive. who says i dont have my own thoughts and views..
it's not just this. there arent problems. technically speaking, i do not have problems, everything is going on...just fine. but when i start thinking about everything that i have had to do, but not completed yet..the weight starts crashing down on me.
sigh. emotional.
discouraging words hurt. all i need for you is to believe in me..not you, or you, or even..YOU. just people in general, or maybe i'm just referring to myself.
school is still pretty slack these days, thankfully. it's nice to snap back to sch life. i really do appreciate being a student. i love sch..ahahha i'm nuts.
i'm starting to talk in riddles, n most of you out there reading this probably have no clue to what shit i'm talking abt haha.

it's getting to me
the whirlwind of the entire week's of activities is finally getting to me. i guess the main reason for the sudden vexation should be due to the lack of sleep last night.. fatigue is making me irritated, irrational and i cant think straight. i feel as if the whole world is closing in on me....and i cant breathe....
in need of fresh air.
i really am no superwoman..there are so many things i wish to do, but so little that i can do..

byebye hols, good day to sch
goodbye to the 3 months long hols that i've had. it feels like yesterday i just finished my last paper..but it feels so long as well..because i seem to have done so much in just merely 3 months. looking forward to school life again really..say i'm crazy..but i do love the feeling of being a student. rushing to lects, tutorials..meeting up with friends, crapping during lunch breaks in the canteen, hanging around after school, studying in the library...
it's a simple life. but dont everyone wish to have a simple life some time? no responsibilities, nothing to worry about, except whether you'll be able to hand up your next assignment on time, or whether you'll fail the next ca..
the real world is so much more complex. sigh.
why do i find myself colliding into walls, every time i find a new route..? obstacles never cease to exist.

dreamers dreaming
the similarities are startling. it reflects so much of my own thoughts that it's eerie. the grumbling of how some people are bornt with a silver spoon and having life easy, and the lamenting of why our lives cant be like that. nonetheless we know we should appreciate what we have, because we know that there are people out there who are far worse off, deprived of basic necessities and struggling to make ends meet everyday. in the end we tell ourselves, we are ok. life is good. we'll survive.
chasing the illusive dream. big dreams. dreams that seem so unlikely to materialise at this point in time. flying and exploring every corner of the earth. visiting places that we could only marvel on discovery channel now. opening a cafe that serves your favourite coffee. opening a pub that plays your favourite music and cocktails.
dreamers unite.
or..just simply..being lost. we want to find that one thing that matters most to us in life. we need to..and we are constantly searching. when will we find it, we wonder. so for now it's just: one day, one day.
endless stream of questions, but no answers.
met derrick, nic and andre in school. the last time i met derrick was at my bday party in jan, so i was really pleased to see him again yesterday. i realised they are some of my closest friends in life, and probably will remain that way for the rest of my life. it felt good that once again, all of us will be studying under the same roof again. oh well, not really actually, since the law dudes will be moving to their new campus. sigh.
tired, tired, tired. had only 3 hours of sleep since last night. time to catch up on sleep debt.

last getaway
back from my 4th and last overseas trip this summer hols.
guess what was the best part of the trip? the hotel room!! haha..we stayed at shangri-la again.
me and dearie in our hotel room
and then again, the shopping was good too. there are several giant shopping malls near the outskirts of kl and in the kl town area itself. in fact the shopping can be comparable to hk's...not as many boutiques but the fashion there caters more to my taste haha. footwear as well...everywhere is perpetually on sale. and things are much cheaper too..it helps that the exchange rate of ringgit to sg dollars is to our favour now.
as usual, i had quite a few good buys. dresses, heels, tops, skirts....:) i think my wardrobe has expanded quite in a bit over these three months. burnt a hole in my pocket as well..
been leading a good life over there..
we had dinner at this lovely jap restaurant opposite shangri-la, beside concorde hotel. it was lovely.
good ambience
good food
perfect place to bring a date to. wine, candles and music go the best together. the bill turned out to be equally beautiful.
pet safari
we visited this huge pet shop that sells all kinds of..um..pets of course haha. rabbits, fishes, iguanas, snakes, hamsters, dogs, cats blah blah...my fav is the chihuahua!!! so tiny and adorable...took this pic illegally! photography is actally not allowed in the shop..shhh..
indoor amusement park just next to times square
giant ikea! the largest one in south east asia
sleeping 'beauty'

lazy sunday
it has been work, work and work from tues to fri. now that carmen has returned from her pre-everest climb in china, i'm no longer required at A21 for the time being. yipee! though i must say i've really enjoyed working there... in the past when i went to the shop, i've always thought how boring it must be to be cooped up in a tiny space the entire day but hey i realised sales could be really fun. get to meet a wide variety of people everyday, and gordon, the boss has lots of friends coming to find him everyday. it's a joy really...and it's a good learning experience just to talk and to listen.
had another shoot yesterday morning. was so so tired after that...met up with dearie after that, wanted to pamper myself a little so i bought this green coset from topshop. you know sometimes after you've worked so hard, you just want to get something for yourself, like some kind of reward...
after that, it was off to yongyao's place for the pa7 gathering. ahh but in the end there were only 6 of us, but still it was nice, catching up.. deb, haz and even km have started working..and for a while the subject of worklife was brought up. worklife sounds sucky..no more life, no social life, social circle shrinking, OT, routine work, boring, tired...............i dont wanna step into that world! anyway yy, the food you cooked was woonderrrfullll~~~~ looking forward to the next gathering we've.
and sunday, is rest day!!! yipeee!
n oh, i'm going kl next tues, will be back on thurs. yipees!

tired
heyhey,
been busy recently, with a lot of things. working for this and that... i've got lots of things to do, but so little time. or rather i feel so tired at the end of the day when i come back from work that i dont feel like doing anything...just wanna laze around and watch tv, or use msn... i bet this is how most of the working adults feel! you get so caught up with work that you forgot to leave some time for yourself.
sigh.
