i seem to have found, something more than a lover in you.

@blogspot

this is goodbye.

shifting.

life is so good. it's almost perfect. and it's scary. because when you're up so high, you can fall so bad too. what isn't scary is probably not really worth doing anyway right, but this is really, really scary. it's like presenting a whole series of pretty, picture-perfect images to the world and then waiting for that moment, that one moment of realisation. that this is all, just a dream.

and amidst all these warm fuzzy feeling, there always exists in me, this tinge of insecurity. it always happens. always. i don't know if it's a part of my inferiority complex or is it because of circumstance but every single time it happens. perhaps i've been thrown into the depths of pain and hurt too many times and this situation becomes all too familiar. almost a deja vu. but i must trust. but so what if i trust. i can trust the person i love, but i can't trust those who love her. nothing is ever fair in this world, especially not love. and i know too well how things can just take a turn for the worse even when you least expect it to. how can i let my guard down. will you protect my heart like you protected somebody else's?

maybe deep down inside i know you would. i know how much you love me in so little time. but i guess the insecurities take over and sometimes i can't tell anymore.

i know i should be grateful. i am. i know i am lucky. i really am. how many people would wish to be in my situation. to live together with someone they love. to be able to wake up to the smell and sight of your cute little face every single day. how much more can i ask for? yet it is so easy to want more.

it is so easy to compare myself with someone else. so easy to find fault with myself. even the good things become flaws just because they are different from what she is. and i know i shouldn't compare. but who wouldn't?

i can't measure up in many areas. but at least we are happy. today. yesterday. we will be happy tomorrow. and sometimes i feel like just walking on with you, forever. can i?

it's odd that all these feelings are coming out of me right now at this time. because i should be all happy celebrating today. the 8th. our monthsary.

maybe it's all the stress from the deadlines and exams coming and everything but i just feel somber today. no i am not unhappy. i am happy. happy that you held me in your arms procrastinating over going for morning class. happy that we had a superb lunch at swensen's together. happy that we sat outside the theatre waiting for our classes to start. happy that i ended class early today and crashed your lecture and watched the movie with you holding back tears because it was so sad. happy that you held my hand. happy that i am going to see you soon after your project meeting. happy that tonight we will lie as we do every night, talking to each other, occasionally singing to sleep. happy that you're happy with me. i am happy. but don't happy people have troubles too?

人改变不了改变不了的事情

相遇的那天漾着微笑的你
那个微笑
还是很美丽
可惜那个人常常要让人哭泣

太耀眼的城市不适合看星星
就如同你的心不适合谈安定
谢谢你让我伤过心
学会爱情并非执迷
人改变不了改变不了的事情


记得要忘记忘记
我提醒自己
你已经是
人海中的一个背影
长长时光
我应该要有新的回忆

人无法决定会为谁动心
但至少可以决定放不放弃
我承认我
还是会爱着你
但我将永不再触碰这记忆

记得要忘记忘记
经过我的你
毕竟只是很偶然的那种相遇
不会不容易
我有一辈子
足够用来忘记
我还有一辈子
可以用来努力
我一定会忘记你

don't go too far.
we all can be civil. and that's what i've been trying to do. think civil thoughts. think for her because i know how she feels for not being in the picture anymore. only doing it because you matter to me more than ever now and every passing day just assures me that you're going to be here for a long time and will hold and love me with a pure and joyful heart.

don't go too far.
everyone has limits and so do we. it makes me sad seeing you fret over protecting my little heart and protecting this young but deep love that we share. and it makes me angry because i am not in control and you ain't in control and how we're helpless in this situation. what should i do, you ask me. i can't dictate your thoughts and actions, but i will support you and be there for you, no matter how you decide, as long as you have our best interest at heart.

don't go too far.
i've tried very hard and i didn't ask for this. we didn't ask to fall so fast and fall so deeply in this happy world. if you truly care, please learn to let go, let live and learn how to love properly because constantly affecting someone who cares about you isn't loving.

face the facts, life goes on even if you can't. time waits for no one, not me, not you, not anyone. with a bigger heart, you'll be happier.

face the facts.

i'm facing this same shit, except it is worse because i'm now in this picture that can only have two people.

can't run anymore.
can we cut to the chase?
maybe it ain't the same no more.
different.
crossroads.
opposing routes.
but why?
i am having a soliloquy with myself,
and i know i can never find the answers.

you're not you anymore.
and me,
i'm a better me.

what hurts the most
is being so close
and having so much to say
and watching you walk away

i was having a conversation with weeejf about some wacky ideas for a marketing project. well, i never came up with any wacky cool ideas but i did learn something. i brought up the maslow hierarchy of needs and she told me there's a new maslow hierarchy of needs which is an exact inverse of the original that most of us have learnt before, i hope. it set me thinking. and i am pro this new inverted maslow hierarchy of needs.

in this newly evolved world that we are now living in, it is so much easier to fulfil the once-thought to be highest level on the maslow pyramid. even self-actualization doesn't seem like quite the big deal anymore. We have everything our ancestors from generations before lusted after and more. It is so easy to fulfil the materialistic needs that drives up our esteem. but the simpler, more basic needs are more often than not, overlooked.

it is not a very pleasing discovery. what has our world become? what are we becoming? this advancement in technology and life and everything else related is in fact, a downward spiral in which the simplest but most important things in life have been long forgotten.

are you running?

am i chasing?

am i supposed to?

this is getting too depressingly black and black and blacker still, for my liking.

if we hold on together

don't lose your way
with each passing day
you've come so far
don't throw it away

live believing dreams are for weaving
wonders are waiting to start

live your story
faith hope and glory
hold to the truth in your heart

“To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.”

 

it's another friday afternoon. it is approaching evening and no, maxxie is not around today. there's joy in just sitting around waiting for the time to be up. and it keeps me wondering, how life would be like when school is out and i no longer have the luxury of my own space and time.

you know, i should be worried. about school work. about all the lessons i have missed because i was just plain lazy or disinterested. but i am not. why worry when you're going to need to get through it anyway? so it's another friday afternoon that i sit here promising myself that this is the last time i'm going to be this relaxed about school and start being more hardworking next week. guess what? it always fails.

i really miss maxxie.

let's forget yesterday and plunge into the adventures of tomorrow.

if we all had memories that could be erased, i would spare no thought for anyone. and if we all had emotions we could control, i would throw away everything i ever had and indulge in everything i have now. but we don't. you don't. you don't. nobody does. and so there's a need for tact and for writing what it really means without creating pain.

无数个夜晚 任性的被你宠坏
我曾想就这样耍赖
如今默默呼吸孤单
失去了什麼 还剩下什麼 不再等待
面对你慷慨 无节制的爱
我该不该 勇敢的离开
 
对自己坦白 爱狠狠的 还在
找朋友陪伴 都比不过 另一半
泪在眼里打转 爱已变成黑白
找不到答案 也不想谎言主宰
对彼此坦白 我们真的失败
背叛不是意外 就算承诺不再
新欢成了旧爱 爱的没了姿态
我会释怀 让时间把一切都冲淡

every first waking moment is spent being confused. not really sure of where i really am. who i really am. what i am really doing. and every night is spent being unsure. uncertain that i'll ever wake up feeling sane again.

it has been so long and you sit at the same spot in my heart and you might be feeling the same pain i am feeling when i think about how far away you are right now. but it is inevitable. and i sometimes question myself why and what made us the way we are today. so many things i wish i could say but it serves no purpose anymore but to hurt you further so maybe someday you will listen to me without feeling it i don't know. how can you if i can't.

there're so many things running through my mind all the time but there's no point in telling anyone anymore.

i don't want to know anything associated with pain.

“Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.
“Pooh,” he whispered.
“Yes, Piglet?”
“Nothing,” said Piglet, taking Pooh’s paw, “I just wanted to be sure of you.”

the usual senses that should infiltrate my emotions are on a holiday.

it is such a nice warm feeling to wake up to your face smiling back at me. and you don't know how cute it is when you say that you want me to sleep with you tonight because you sleep better with me by your side.

i spent every sleepless night thinking about you and about us and about how we have come to where we are and wondering where it is we are heading. and then i realise that i don't have to think because you're right here beside me and that's what really matters.

the future is unknown, and it could well not be in the grasps of our hands. we need to cherish the times we have now. for every circumstance that brought us to each other, i am thankful. for every little way that we are able to spend so much time and laughter together, i am grateful. and for the friends who remind me time and time again how envious they are of us, i know for sure that you and i, we're so lucky and i will treasure the moment right now.

thank you for patting me back to sleep and then trying to sooth my throat by putting your hands on it last night. =D

you made me realise how i always blog the saddest things. when your heart is heavy, it is so easy for the words to flow and flow as though they can take over the tears that refuse to stain your face. but recently i have been less melancholic in my writing. there is hope.

jealousy is a very very tiring emotion and i am going to eliminate it. =D there is no point in being jealous because you're incurring your own wrath and wasting your own time and emotions on useless things that won't change and they probably aren't even that important or affective but you're affected simply because you allow yourself to be.

it is tiring to guess and second guess what is really going on in somebody's mind but i realise it really is a waste of time when you can just ask and get a direct answer. and because you're so candid with me it is easy to put myself in your shoes and begin to understand you day by day. it's so amazing how close we have become almost inseparable and yet i know so little of you but i know so much at the same time. it is intriguing and exciting and every day is brand new and i learn something about you all the time you keep me smiling.

i can tell you all the things that go through my mind but they come and go so quickly sometimes it's hard to tell which are the emotions that will stay.

i finally discovered a theory today. it is a very powerful theory. very useful. very....good to bear in mind and i think it is what will make me better tomorrow.

i guess i'll never know, why sparrows love the snow.

i guess i'll never know, how did we fall so deep
i guess i'll never know, why do you love me so
but what i do know is, like what you've said,
we're falling deeper and deeper. =D

happy times are here. and happier blog entries will surface more now.

it has been 45 valentine's days with you.

Me? I’m scared of everything. I’m
scared of what I feel, of what I’ve said,
of who I am, but most of all I’m scared of
walking out of this room and never feeling
the rest of my life the way I feel when I’m with you.

"I spend 23 hours a day wondering whether we’re wrong for each other, wondering whether we’ve got the energy that we need to get through everything that we seem to get into, whether the baggage we both bring would sink a small ship. But in the 24th hour, I realize I’ve been thinking about you for 23 hours and I come back to there’s something about you I can’t stay away from. Something about you that makes me want you."

i want you =D

we run because we want to be chased.
or because we are afraid.
or because we just want to run away.
but we really run because we want to be chased.

what if,
we run and nobody comes after us?

it has been a tumultuous week filled with the happiest and most bitter moments. seems to me that this has been what i've been waiting for, knowingly or unknowingly. you're probably going to happen to me sooner or later and you are now here with me. it is nice to just hold your sweaty hands and walk around like there's nothing in this world that matters except you and me.

difficult as it is to face the music, i have and i'm proud of myself. dealing with misunderstandings. dealing with pain. dealing with hurt. dealing with people who don't know what the heck it is they are doing making me sit and cry in bed at 5am in the morning. but these people are dealing with misunderstandings, pain and hurt as well. sometimes when you begin to think this way, it isn't that hard anymore just letting things go. i prefer to face the music with you than to not see not know not hear anything.

and then you're always there for me with arms open wide. you're always ready to smile your happy smile at me and make me smile at you in return. always there to hold the gate for me, to pat me back to sleep when i wake u coughing, to walk me back from class and just be with me any time of the day and night. it is amazing how i will be spending almost five 24 hours with you if we didn't have classes. day and night. and never get enough.

there are aches inside that cannot help but surface at odd regularity but you know it is all worth the while when i look forward to the time we can finally rest our hearts and minds and as we lie in bed together just talking and falling asleep together, i understand why i'm willing to go through all the shit. and every morning i wake up to your smile and your scent, you're so beautiful.

together.

Been up all night staring at you
Wondering what's on your mind
I've been this way with so many before 
but this feels like the first time

You want the sunrise to go back to bed
I want to make you laugh

Mess up my bed with me
Kick off the covers
I'm waiting
Every word you say I think I should write down
Don't want to forget come daylight

Happy to lay here
Just happy to be here
I'm happy to know you
Play me a song
Your newest one
Please leave your taste on my tongue

Paperweight on my back
Cover me like a blanket

Mess up my bed with me
Kick off the covers
I'm waiting
Every word you say I think I should write down
Don't want to forget come daylight

And no need to worry
That's wasting time
And no need to wonder what's been on my mind
It's you
It's you
It's you

Every word you say I think I should write down
Don't want to forget come daylight

And I give up
I let you win
You win 'cause I'm not counting

You made it back to sleep again
Wonder what you're dreaming 

every of my fears came true. what am i supposed to do?

it's day one. and nothing has changed except that deep down inside i feel settled. i feel more grounded now than i've ever had. hope it doesn't take the fun away. i guess it wouldn't, we are so funny.

you say time will tell us how we will turn out. three months. i say time will make us love each other more. cos baby if you realised, our relationship has already defied time in more than one way or two.

i guess i've been foolish to be thinking of things that make me feel upset. but i can only guess that it is because i have given a piece of my heart away and you're going to be taking away bigger pieces yet and so the fear mounts but you have a way of making it subside.

when you take my hand, i feel proud to be walking beside you. when you hold me close, the world has crumbled away and there's only just me and you. yes, it's just you and me against the world.

i could write about you forever. and i could go on forever about how i want to write about you. and so i will put it stop to it now and let you listen to the words i don't say cos i know you hear my heart and you hear it so well. =D

this is the last day on earth that i'm going to be twenty two. it kind of sucks cos twenty three just sounds so old. but ah well. gonna make this day count.

it's a sunny friday afternoon and it's approaching evening time. when everything slows down. when there's nobody really around. when it's just me and maxxie in my cosy little room. and i'm thinking about certain this and that. and wondering to myself why i start thinking about this and that when i'm left alone and when the sun is beginning to go down. i sit with the door open. listening to the sounds of the birds chirping. are they looking for each other? who am i looking for?

and my dear maxxie, you're so cute. you just. melt my heart and make me want to love you more. are you happy that your bedding has been changed? or do you miss the old smells? get used to it alright, i'm going to change it often and bathe you often. then you can have brand new starts all the time. unlike us. unlike me. unlike humans like us. you're just a little pet hamster and i will love and care for you so you won't have to worry about insecurities and sadness. i'll give you a towel when it gets cold at night with the aircon at 23 degrees. i'll bring you down to visit my friends. and i'll secretly feed you more treats than your other owner allows. i'll be your wonderwall.

dear me, myself and i. how i wish i could feel as free as can be. how i wish time can just stop at this very moment while i embrace these very carefree and happy moments of my life. how i wish guilt doesn't ever exist. and how i wish the future will never come so that i can forever and ever be holding onto your sweaty hands.

i think it's beginning to get to me. and it's time i considered my options. it's time i stop playing around with my own heart and think about what it is i want. or maybe it's just time to let go of all my emotions and just enjoy every little moment that i'm holding on to now. because today will never come back and tomorrow may never come. yesterdays will only fade away. slowly but surely.

and love, my dear love, you're talented in taking my breath away, every single day.

uncertainties make fears. fears make me tremble.

how i wish i would be able to hold everything close to me and never have to let go of what i don't want to let go. how i wish i could trust with a heart full and not so half-heartedly. how i wish some things don't exist in life but they have to. how i wish i could fly. i'd bring you along with me.

because love isn't possession. because you didn't know that. and because you didn't want that. and so now we are no longer friends. not just you. but you and you and you. what's wrong with you. life is a neverending process of love and love gone so why choose to embrace it so much and throw it all away. the good parts and the bad. when lovers can no longer be friends, it says a lot about the love in the first place, doesn't it?

disappointed. but life goes on. 

“My chest feels full of glitter and helium, the way it used to when I was little and riding my father’s shoulders at twilight, when I knew that if I held up my hands and spread my fingers like a net, I could catch the coming stars.” 

this must be what love feels like.

there're so many people in this life whom we have met, whom we're going to meet. but i never knew there's going to be someone like you. you're not part of my plan, even the most complicated plans didn't have you. i didn't write your name in the clouds but i'm saying your name now like it means something more. and maybe it's more than what we are having now.

it's so easy to change. how can we trust anyone and anything? but it is even harder to turn away from you. how can i turn my back on someone like you? but love is such a scary thing it robs your sanity and strips you down till you're feeling naked in the sunlight and moonlight.

when you're feeling just a little out of sorts. like you believed in something so strongly one day and the next day that feeling seems to not feel that right anymore what do you do? what do you do when you feel so insecure and unsure of yourself and everything and everyone that's around you? and then you realise that if she cares about you enough she will know. she will know when you're feeling just slightly unsettled. even if it doesn't show on your face. even if she thinks your hands shook because you were excited and not sad. she still feels the way you're feeling down and tries her best to carry you through it.

i feel like a little angel who's being given my wings. you've given me a good pair of wings. wings that make me want to fly to you. like a little star shining in the dark, i want to light your way into the dawn and sing you a melody till you fall asleep.

how time seems to be standing still yet we're travelling through time so quickly.

I’m the girl who prefers one rose instead of a dozen. I’m the girl who would rather stay in on a Friday night than go to a wild party with random strangers. I'm the girl who wouldn’t make you wait on her hand and foot, but would do anything to make you happy. I’m the girl who would enjoy having a movie night rather than going to some fancy restaurant. I’m the girl who would rather stay up all night sharing secrets than going out and getting drunk. I’m the girl who won’t make you hold her bags, but would rather hold your hand instead. I’m the girl who will love you more than anyone can possibly dream of. I’m the girl who would give the world to see you smile.

i hate you, presentation.

Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back, but I know you did

never knew i needed....you

for the way you changed my plans
for being the perfect distraction
for the way you took the idea that i have
of everything that i wanted to have
and made me see there was something missing
for the ending of my first begin
and for the rare and unexpected friend
for the way you're something that i never choose
but at the same time something i don't wanna lose
and never wanna be without ever again

you're the best thing i never knew i needed
so when you were here i had no idea
you're the best thing i never knew i needed
so now it's so clear i need you here always

my accidental happily
the way you slime and how you comfort me
i must admit you were not a part of my book
but now if you open it up and take a look
you're the beginning and the end of every chapter

what can i do to make time slow down. for you and i. for you and i.
what can i do to make you mine.

people run in circles, it's a very mad world.

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Goin' nowhere, goin' nowhere
Their tears are fillin' up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad world, mad world
Mad world, mad world

Children waitin' for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sits and listen, sits and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson?
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad world, mad world
Mad world, mad world

i spent today missing you.

 

the painter loves green as much as you do.

you made me realise that age does not equate to maturity. and you made me realise the simple joy of being at the receiving end of simple thoughtfulness and concern. and all these made me feel like it's going to be worth every ounce of my fear of uncertainty.

we're walking on thin ice, we're hanging on a thread. but we're heading towards solid ground and i'm not going to walk alone anymore because you said, let's walk through all uncertainties together.

i walked away too. but i chose to walk away from the old life that made me miserable. not because of you but by the people around you. maybe that's what i should've done all along. to spare you. spare me. spare us. the trouble of hurting each other. and most of all, spare myself from being trapped in a dungeon that exists too many dragons that you, the knight, can't ever handle. you were never in control and sadly, that's the way it has to end. and i wonder to myself if you ever will understand why and how and what went wrong.

i'm ready to start walking again.

the hardest thing to do when you love somebody is to walk away. i guess that's what you did.

I said to the tin man

"Sorry can´t help ya 

They ripped my heart out long time ago"

And now I´m feeling like the cowardly lion 

I wanna break out but I´m paralyzed 

The yellow bricks led me staright to the wizard 

He said it´s all your state of mind 

Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes 
Clever trick

Well, I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left, you kissed my lips
You told me you would never, never forget
These images

No

i just want to be happy. now. and forever.

feeling out of sorts today. the unsettling feeling inside just refused to go away. i hate feeling like this. and i hate the cough that makes me feel worse. i hate coughing. i love the drowsy feeling from the meds though, leaves me feeling high and though i'm really very sleepy now, i refuse to climb into bed.

i think i think too much. and i think i should stop opening my heart so much in order to prevent any hurt from coming. i don't know why but it seems as though it's going to come. sooner or later.

i guess i always have this issue with my inferiority complex and always thinking i'm not good enough for this that and everything. including you.

insecurity

when you're feeling insecure, the problem lies not with the problem but with yourself. so get on with it and stop sulking inside.

the quiet, the peace, the rain pelting on my window pane. 

there's this special kind of feeling that makes me want to come back for more. today tomorrow and every day after. what is it that intrigues me so much. i've been watching myself grow and i've been thinking about where i'm supposed to go. and then suddenly i'm no longer watching myself and thinking. i'm not thinking at all. suddenly i'm soaring through the clouds, not really sure if this is just a dream.

and so far away you've been, makes me wonder about how you've been. i'm thinking about your thoughts, if they still stay the same or have they changed. you know i never meant to hurt you and it doesn't matter what i mean anyway, i know the damage i've done. how can i make you understand, how can i make you into what i wish you are right now. i don't know and so i'm doing nothing. doing nothing and letting you walk out of my life like you never existed. 

how can you be sure what i'm writing when i sometimes don't even write what i mean? don't be too sure of what you're reading cos you might be wrong and you could turn out to be a fool. again.

when you're happy, i guess you don't need to think much about anything. just make sure that life goes the way you want it to go cos life goes on anyway.

life goes on and you go on and i go on and we all go on. just remember that we were once in love before. you and i. all of you, remember me even if i don't exist in your life anymore. if you were a part of me, you will always be that same part of me. sitting somewhere in the depths of my heart.

could it be that finally i'm on the right track no i'm not never was never will be. could it be that fate has landed me where i am now but no i'm going where i want to go fate has no hands it can't hold me. could it be that i'm tired of all those things and now i have all these things no i was never really tired just sick.

i can never be sure of what it is i want now cos maybe i can never ever get near to what it is i want anyway but you know it's so easy to pretend that what you want is what you need or that what you need isn't what you want.

if you could would you decipher all that's on your mind my mind their mind?

i wouldn't. cos i'm always the one asking the questions but fearing the answers.

i'm telling you, i feel different tonight.

how can this feel so right? i think i like the way you look tonight. and every other thing just passes me by and i take no notice i don't care. as long as you're here tonight.

the lure of the unknown is so magical, so strong, there's no stopping me from moving along with the spells it casts. there's no room to think about what it is i'm doing and what is about to happen next. there's not even time enough to consider the consequences. why think when it will all end up the same. ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

how is it possible...i asked myself so many times in the past. but i never ever bring it up again. because time has proven it to be all too possible. impossible is nothing so says a certain branding.

we've all come to a stop at some point in time and we are left alone to ponder about the things that matter to us. what do we think about? are those really things that matter in the long run or do we think about the moment. this moment in time when everything stops and there's just room for half a thought.

and i should have known better but i didn't and i don't want to. i like the way i am.

too many times it has happened. too many times i had plunged myself into a dark hole that has unknown contents lurking beneath.

have you ever felt inadequate?

the flu and cough and everything is getting to me and there's this sudden need to cry but there's no tears left.

should've seen it coming, should've read the signs.

i'm happy in a hazy floaty way. it's like everything around me seems unreal and all that i am is just a transient and very temporal existence in this hazy world. it's like i'm wrapped in a transparent happy bubble that may burst anytime. it will burst.

what will february bring?

just do, don't think. life brings you a lot to experience if you're willing to experience it, doesn't it?

goodbye january,
you're never coming back to me again.

auld lang syne

love and faith,
they're on a holiday.

you and me, we're an entity.

in my dreams

you're far away tonight. you don't know how easy it is to miss you even when you're near. and you will never know the torrents of emotions that surge through my heart when the sound of your voice resonates within the room. how warm it is when you're near. and how cold my heart feels when you're not here. and you're not here tonight.

i wrote everything i wanted to say to you down, but you never knew what it was i meant. because i am only good at writing them between the lines. while you never knew betweenthelines existed.

and another day passes by and you're nearer and farther and nearer and farther. it's days like this that make me feel so unsettled. can't do a thing right. can't make things right. and i can't even string those words together. how can i even begin to lose this feeling. i can't shake it out of me. i don't want to.

it's so difficult to walk away but it's even harder to stay. i can never understand how i beat myself up again and again by choosing the most difficult route in this world. to stay and miss you when you're just beside me.

Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Every time I see you all the rays of the sun
Are streaming through the waves in your hair;
And every star in the sky is taking aim
At your eyes like a spotlight,
The beating of my heart is a drum, and its lost
And its looking for a rhythm like you.
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright.
Ive got to follow it, cause everything I know, well its nothing till I give it to you.

I can make the run or stumble,
I can make the final block;
And I can make every tackle, at the sound of the whistle,
I can make all the stadiums rock.
I can make tonight forever,
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn;
And I can make you every promise that has ever been made,
And I can make all your demons be gone.

But Im never gonna make it without you,
Do you really want to see me crawl? 
And Im never gonna make it like you do,
Making love out of nothing at all.

been waiting for this day but it just doesn't seem to come. been waiting for this moment but it always seems just out of reach. been waiting for a lifetime but a lifetime never seems to want to end. been waiting for the right words to say but a spell has been cast and there's nothing i can say. been waiting for you but who are you?

i can never get used to feeling like this. every day.

it's not like we spent anytime gazing up at the stars or anything like that but it is better than i imagined it to be. it's always the little things that count and i wish i could count every little thing and put them in a glass bottle, recounting it whenever i wish to. but these things come and go too quickly, i can never quite grasp them. and i wish that tonight will just come to a stop and then there won't be anymore hopes and dashing of hopes. there won't be no tomorrow and all that there will be is tonight.

i could try putting down in words, what it is my heart is telling me. but there's no word that befits you. there's nothing i can say, or rather there is just too much for me to say. i could trying painting a picture cos they say a picture paints a thousand words. but the canvas is too big. and i am no painter. and all i end up trying to do, is coming a full circle and starting another, without really doing anything.

the extremes of sadness and joy are usually blatantly shown on my face. but i don't deal with disappointments all that well. that sinking feeling of being disappointed affects my mood but it does not affect the way i talk or laugh. most people know me as the girl who laughs at anything and everything. but only i know what lies beneath the laughter. 

being disappointed with myself but knowing that i really put in my best does not justify anything. it only makes me feel a little worse because i feel incompetent, unable to rise up to the occasion. 

i may be disappointed but i won't blame myself. the only way to move is forward and we will get there.

not just another face in the crowd.

it has been such a good time and i'm so happy in this new place that i can't believe that it has only been just 2 weeks since i moved. been pretty much occupied with school and floorball and i hope this enthusiasm for school will not fade as time passes by.

i can't really make the words flow anymore and i can't think of what it is i want to say in this little space. i guess the problem with technology is that it makes us more transparent than we want to be. and it also makes us all hypocrites in the way we think and portray ourselves to the world.

there are words that were never meant to be written, said or heard. words that were meant to heal but ended up hurting instead. words that exist and those that don't. sometimes those unspoken words are the words we need the most. why can't we speak our minds. why do we need to be tactful. why do humans need to experience more than just love and hate. why are there grey areas. why is there not a bold line that divides right and wrong. why must we always be sitting on the fence. why say what you don't mean and regret what you've said. why keep what you mean to yourself and regret what you never said. why be so fickle-minded. why can't we predict the future.

我像是一个你可有可无的影子

和寂寞交换着悲伤的心事

time is running out. i feel like i'm racing against time and i have no idea where to stand, where the starting line is. i feel like it's over before the race even began. i feel like a million and one things. and most of all, i feel like making time stop at exactly that moment when.... ....

my timetable is wonderful.

i'm not as transparent as you think.

there's still a colour missing in the rainbow.

很想你也不是因为失去你
爱了你用尽我全心全力
一生情只为这一次与你相遇
情难了难再续难再醒
 

人分飞爱相随
那怕用一生去追
我又怎么能追得回
与你相慰我为你痴为你累
风雨我都不后悔
我又怎么有路可退
曾经深情你给了谁

leaving behind the dull and dreary place i used to call home. an isolation that i'm gladly forgoing for better times ahead. gonna have my rainbow cake and eat it day after day. savour it for as long as it lasts. feel it melting in my mouth. hoping it tastes just as good as it looks.

I’m not going to lie, though I do it often. When someone matters, I’ll tell them the truth, just like the way I only smile when it’s needed. I don’t overuse things, because things easily lose their meaning that way. 

I think you’re an amazing person. You’re smart, clever, witty, incredible with words and with the colours that flutter from each stroke of your paintbrush. When I look in your eyes, I see the sky. You’re still a bird trapped in that cage of yours, and one day, I’ll be there to see you fly.


people come and go. there are certain people in your life whom you get close to. others just seem to be distant. yet there are the few that you purposely distance yourself from not because you don't want to get close to them but because you rather they stayed in your life than went away.

before we melt away...

Are there ever adequate words for this experience? When you are suddenly overwhelmed by a wave of feeling, a knowing, when you are drawn to someone in this way? With the strength of the unavoidable? 

what if there's only a moment left to say the words you mean to say. would you grab that moment or would you let it pass you by? sometimes silence speaks much more than words. it is only up to you to listen to the silent words. and sometimes words are not merely what they appear to be. it is up to you to read between the lines.

have you ever had a notebook that you write all kinds of things in it. daily to-do lists, homework, reminders, thoughts, sketches. some people write their to-do lists in the front few pages for convenience. they write reminders and homework at the back pages for convenience. but their sketches and thoughts could be hidden near the middle of the book. unseen. untold. unknown.

before we melt away...
sit a little closer to me

It made me wonder how many times we forgive just because we don’t want to lose someone, even if they 
don’t deserve our forgiveness.


deserve. what a big word. who deserves what? what is deserving, who is deserving.

i finally came to realise that you're no longer a friend. how can you be one when the way you carry yourself embarrasses me and those around you? how can you be when you throw away years just for the moment. i came to realise in the end, that forgiving is easy. but only towards those who deserve it. and you don't.
