(well thats what i personally feel.. u can't expect someone to talk to u if u are all frowning and sulking right?) thats the harsh reality of this world.. we all move at such an amazing pace.. our lives just revolves around ourselves.. like how many people are going to stop and look around to see if anyone's being left behind.. few and far between.... and so back to smiling.. it cld be a weapon used to your advantage.. but what happens if u use it wrongly? or even worse.. with a wrong intention? a smile to others should only and solely be a true reflection of your own feelings towards others.. it shouldn't be something that is forced.. neither should it be a routine.. or smiling wld have lost its meaning.. but it's true isn't it.. everyone tends to put on a front.. pretend that everything is fine.. and beam so widely at the slightest of things.. but all these fronts are only going to make the world a more deceptive place.. then again.. it's how you would interpret a smile isn't it? i guess everyone smiles.. whether it be a true reflection of our current emotion.. or in a momentary outburst of happiness.. but some smile to hide their weak self.. they just simply refuse to show to others what they truly are.. and all these arise because of fear... fear of being looked down upon.. fear of losing the closest people around you.. fear of having to face disappointment to the very simplest of hopes you place in yourself.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;but is this tatamount to deceiving? when will the world be genuinely true? true to itself.. and true to everyone around.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;it is only in our weakness that we find a source of strength.. for if we are nt weak.. we wouldn't know what it means to be strong.... but are we going to admit that we are weak and work towards being strong.. or act as though we are strong but in actual fact we are all frail and weak inside.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;it's interesting to see how LOVE could bring 2 people together.. but it would be tragic to see a couple so loving fall out with each other.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;it's interesting to see how TRUST is built and maintained between friends.. but sad to see how it cld be lost and perhaps never regained again.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;it's time to forget our differences.. no point harping on differences as it would only strike a distance between u and everyone around.. work together towards compromise.. although u can NEVER be someone who is well-liked and approved by everyone, always bear in mind the fundamental instincts of humans which is also widely demonstrated in animals..

CJ092! much as tho there were plenty of rough patches that we had to go through together.. the amount of effort we put in.. sleepless nights.. blood.. sweat.. tears.. they are all jus a part of us.. we went through thick and thin as much as we cld together.. and im reali thankful and appreciative of all efforts that were put in together into this entire project.. putting aside everything that happened b4 op.. let's just talk about op.. come to think of it.. each of us contributed to our op significantly in our own ways.. let's jus begin wif donny.. the whole video is lyk his own effort.. wif some help frm joy in the beginning of cos.. and yeah.. he's reali good wif the video aspect.. and joy.. wif her artistic talents.. props.. drawings.. yeah.. weifeng.... has wacky and interesting ideas.. cheers the grp up along wif joy when either of them jus gets high for some unclear reason.. and as for km.. the skit.. he's the director.. and he's very much the dramatic wan of our grp.. doing a great job in his role in the skit.. having to demean his self-esteem.. haha.. all in all.. it reali was cool.. everyone did what dey cld.. it's smt lyk everyone had their area of expertise.. wld just lyk to express my heartfelt thanks to cj092.. thx for being such a wonderful and cooperative grp.. ((=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;and so the next big thing was the guitar seminar on the 17th.. it was quite an eye-opening seminar.. learnt quite alot of useful stuff.. but one thing nt to forget is the amt of trouble we took to get there lor.. having to ask directions frm all sorts of ppl.. and nt jus dat.. getting contradicting replies as well.. lyk completely weird lorr.. in the end.. keith to the rescue.. who confirmed wif us the direction and which stop to alight.. lol.. met 2 ppl whom i didn reali expect to meet there.. excluding one whom i alr knew i was going to meet.. lol.. i met matthaeus and marvin.. it was reali a small world! lyk one frm my own church and the other whom i got to know through km's cell.. simply amazing.. after which it was back to sch to put down the footstools which we didn need to use at all.. and in the end we didn need any scores as well! so happy i lightened my load.. went down to city hall to meet a few others and we had dinner together at shokudo! and it was wat they called guitar outing 001.. lol.. had a fun time dere.. talking to each other.. eating.. and jus hanging out together.. u know how it all falls into place.. =) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;then the next day.. it was extra practice for guitar and we ordered in mac as a rare treat for ourselves.. lol.. lyk suddenly guitar ppl bcome rich or smt.. but apparently not the case.. and so the fries were all mixed together.. no straws.. and no sauces.. yup.. dat wan.. i neglected it... so yup.. paiseh..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;not to forget 1T21 chalet and 6/1 chalet! those 2were reali stuff tt kept me busy for practically the whole week.. lol.. didn't stay over on both nights for 21 chalet.. cos we had guitar practice in the morning and it wld b rather mafan to carry it.. so yup.. second night i stayed though.. got only abt 3 hrs of slp.. yep.. but i cldn't expect more.. first day wasn't reali dere much.. just know that they played soccer.. and went overnight cycling.. the bbq was a bit messy cos we underestimated the amount of food.. and den we overestimated.. lol.. second night by the time we reached dere was rather late.. held back by collecting my new passport and rain.. yeah... weather was horrible.. lol.. played wif sparklers and party poppers at the park.. sat and emo-ed at the breakwater for awhile.. before heading back to the chalet.. intended to watch the sunrise on the last morning.. but when we walked out of the chalet.. it was lyk gonna rain.. wif lightning flashing all over the place.. so we didnt wan2take the risk.. had breakfast at the nearby foodcourt while the rest was still sleeping lol.. but cldn't blame them.. guess dey didn't slp much the prev night.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;and so after packing up and all.. me and km moved over to 6/1 chalet.. lol.. 2consecutive chalets.. or rather dey did overlap.. so i stayed on the last night there as well.. but due to the little number of ppl.. i think it wld hav been more fun.. we played burnout/dynasty warrior etc on hx's ps2.. and we mahjongged quite crazily.. altho it definitely wld hav gotten more crazy.. but bcos i definitely needed rest otherwise i sure die during practise the nxt morning.. and true enough i nearly did.. i guess the most memorable thing was the bbq.. we had so much fun cooking.. playing wif food.. lyk lol.. yeah.. we shldn't.. but we honestly had too much.. we had fun experimenting potatoes.. we wrapped dem in aluminium foil and literally put them over and around the burning charcoal.. and haha..only 3 survived wif nice colour.. much thanks to hongyi who booked the chalet and went through efforts to get this organised.. and pinhui huaxin deejee and justin.. who made my night there a pleasant and enjoyable wan.. jus abit wasted didn go on the first day and get to see all e old frens.. reali miss u guys alot! (=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;now perhaps the more impt things on my mind now are the ocip and guitar stuffs.. sometimes jus can't help but drift off into emo-ness.. and if any of u know how emo-ing is lyk.. u jus let yourself sink deeper and deeper.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;and dere i wld find myself struggling to pull myself up.. and efforts wld b futile cos im lyk entirely overpowered.. but yeah.. it wld jus take time for me to snap out of it.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;to end off my post.. jus a few verses frm the bible..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable and perfect, will of God...

(yeah.. PUBs! =)  but whats the whole idea in classifying? so tt u know who'll stand a higher priority? who u shld spend more time wif? who will stick wif u through thick and thin? and those who will ignore u when u're in need of help? or those who'll shun u away in some situation or another? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;seems almost inevitable that all this is happening.. there is no way u cld regard everyone and anyone on the same level as everyone and anyone else? (wait did tt make sense to u?) okay.. let's pick out a few words tt i used just nw and elaborate.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;friendship is exquisite.. special..? bcos u see the same fren of yours treating u differently frm the way he/she might treat other ppl.. and den you're lyk hmm.. but when u get someone treating u so much differently frm the rest.. u get the personal kinda feeling? and u just feel so much into the friendship bcos u know u're greatly appreciated as a fren.. u're very much felt for as a reali good friend.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;friendship is also fragile.. bcos one word.. or one thing that u sae or do can dash the hopes of a friendship that cld b built over a period of 5, 10, 20, even 30 years? and ya.. ppl always say that it takes a lifetime to build a friendship/relationship this deep.. this close.. but all it takes is one second or 2 to enable everything and anything to fall apart.. to crumble down.. and you will b so crippled by the impact.. and you'll just feel a sense of emptiness inside of u.. and u wld even b wondering if the other party knows exactly what he/she did to u.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;friendship is deceptive.. u nvr know when your fren might betray u.. or back-stab u.. or probably to him that is far frm wats happening.. but to you.. u so strongly feel that he/she has let u down..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;friendship is deceptive cos u'll nvr know wat your fren is saying or wat your fren is doing is actually the truth.. or the way he behaves.. the way he talks.. everything is jus uncertain.. in dis case.. obviously he wun b one of the high level friends.. but then again.. why do ppl hav to b deceptive? is there reali a nid to put on a mask.. lyk why? is it reali tat necessary in this world? then again.. perhaps.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;friendship can also b demanding.. it can consume u to a pt that u feel tired u're actually maintaining a friendship.. tho these kinda situations may b few.. or minority.. but ya.. it does happen.. and dis can very much arise frm situations when one party feels disconnected frm all the link dere is in the friendship.. or over time of nt talking to each other or even spending time wif each other.. high chances are.. the friendship is strained.. and how very often wld anyone at all want this to happen to any of your friendships? but can it reali reali be helped? sighs.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;sometimes whats the point of being so in-depth? or whats the point in revealing your heartfelt emotions.. wld anyone.. or wld the other person actually experience the depth.. and know what your heart's thoughts? is the exact same feeling frm your heart.. conveyed to the other person? i believe much is lost.. even though u may say it wif so much emotions.. or actions.. yeah.. u know how actions speak louder than words? but do dey speak better? i seriously doubt...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;okay.. side-tracking for awhile.. i forgot to mention that i actually slept over at km's house on thurs night to fri morning.. just to do wr.. and bcos we nided to get it done by friday.. and so we literally chionged.. and bcos km didn sleep much the past night.. he threw in the towel at 4.. and halfway while i still carried on doing it.. the thing suddenly say table corrupt.. and den dere was so much trouble opening the file.. both at my laptop and km's com.. got so worried and engaged the help of pat.. and yay! thanks to him everything was back to normal after awhile.. amazing how he was online till that time.. madness..

(is tt wat u call it?) playing emo songs.. singing to myself.. atmosphere and ambience.. totally rawk.. well..dat was saturday night.. den came home arnd 10 plus.. by 10.30.. flat on my bed..drifted off to slp...............&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;and so this morning.. woke up at 8.. i even set alarm lor.. cos i decided to study for the sign test that i thought i was going to take later.. den started smsing my fren.. and den he enlightened me tt the test was actually nxt week and nt todae.. and i was lyk sheesh! cld hav slept longer.. but stayed awake anyways.. and prepared to go church.. and apparently i wasnt very well prepared.. cos when we were all in the car and 2 junctions away frm home.. it was only then i realised i didn't bring my hp out of the house.. and i was lyk wah piang!! lyk in my whole life..that only happened to me once or twice la.. so had to make do without my fone altho my dad offered to turn back..but yeah..dun wan2 b late for service.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;after church had lunch wif bennett and longkuan.. and obviously longkuan was trying to claim his bdae lunch.. ended up at pastamania.. and he actually wanted to eat 2plates wan lar.. trying to rip us off la.. okay..joking.. but in the end also nvr order his 2nd plate..cos he full liao ler.. and so after lunch went shopping wif bennett.. his request.. and i cld understand why lar.. nobody wld want to shop alone for one and a half hours.. even if we wanted to digest our full stomachs also don't hav to walk for one and a half hours.. and plus at j8 somemore.. and so when he left for home.. it left me and longkuan stoning at subway for awhile.. and chatted abit before we decided to go home.. and the rest of the day was almost lyk usual sunday routines.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;and now for things that hav reali been going through my mind alot and alot.. i must say that i havent thought much abt my past for a very long time now.. it's somehow as though dere's a total change.. but i guess it's unavoidable and inevitable that i wld go back to think about it occasionally.. it has already bcome a part of me.. and as of now.. i guess i reali nid to sort myself out.. altho i do feel sorted out at times.. but after a short while again.. i will just feel messed up again.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;i dont know.. i feel lyk i reali nid to change my perspective in life.. everything jus seems to b caving in.. tumbling down.. is it reali that difficult to lead a simple life? i reali want to live a simple life.. one that is so simple that i don't hav that many things on my mind.. i don't need to worry.. i'll jus b so at ease.. and jus comfortable? i might even be bouncing wif every step i take.. but thats so obviously not happening.. when can i start thinking less.. less complicatingly.. if dere's even such a word.. even up till this very pt in time.. i'm thinking of wat xuanyi said to me b4.. when we were sec4 i believe.. he said i think too much.. he even repeated it the second time that very moment and added the word really inside.. i do agree wif him.. i think too much.. i dunno.. it's jus me or smt.. lyk why.. seriously.. someone teach me how to think less? anyone?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;wahh..1.15 liao ler.. sheeesh.. better get going or smt.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;meanwhile.. i hope He will guide me.. as i walk.. walk.. ..............&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

unfair.. we check in so late.. we check out so early.. and all bcos of chalet regulations.. wow.. yar.. guess it's jus becos dey are so "smart".. but im nt reali affected by that.. just a little.. actually thinking back about all that we did.. we did spend alot of time talking to one another.. chatting.. talking talking talking.. which was quite good actually.. cos thats the whole purpose.. to spend time wif one another.. catch up wif one another.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;it's lyk we talked to each other through the night.. on the first night.. which was quite a big mistake.. cos i felt it wld hav been better if we slept on the first night but stayed awake on the second.. anw.. all of us slept rather rather little.. so 2nd day.. by early afternoon.. we all were alr lyk walking zombies.. den decided to go escape.. but then the weather was lyk horrible lar.. lyk drizzling that tinee winee bit only.. den all the rides suspended due to bad weather.. den we were lyk somewhat delayed.. but then again..dere weren't reali many rides to take in dere.. rainbow.. pirate ship.. and inverter.. those were the more thrilling ones.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;then it was the bbq.. which was what i felt one of the most successful ones i had so far.. combination of good fire.. good food.. and ppl who were willing to cook.. yep.. and we had quite abit of leftovers too.. but we played games lyk "i never" and "i hav".. and the reamining food was cleared quite fast.. and it was indeed one of the few times i felt ever so full b4 lar.. i think im becoming fat.. all matt's idea.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;anwys.. second night..all of us jus slept lor.. cos cannot tahan ler marh.. but funny thing.. i was the latest to sleep.. but earliest to wake up.. excluding wanting and emeline who had to leave early.. yar.. den weiyang had to leave for canoeing training.. so only left 5 of us.. den we thot check out 12.30.. den in the end at 11.. we received a call telling us that we shld hv checked out alr.. lyk sheeesh.. so it's lyk we got chased out.. so ya.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;went to play abt an hour of pool at E!hub.. after that we dispersed.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;well.. my apologies if i reali made this post sound very boring.. depressing.. cos right now i am indeed feeling quite down.. nt reali becos the chalet has ended.. but bcos of things that i read.. frm blogs.. that reali made me think alot.. and i just feel lyk im trapped in my past yet again..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;going to b alone till sunday.. parents and sis went overseas.. decided nt to follow.. ya.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;some pictures of 1S02.. jus to reminisce all the moments we had together.. and yet another quote.. to end off the post.. it's nt applicable to anyone by the way.. felt it was a nice quote.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211032478274820306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px

These people must state who they were tagged by &amp;amp; cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;If your lover betrayed you, what would your reaction be?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;i will be emo.. very emo.. and i wouldn't know how long i would take to recover from it.. many why's will pop out in my head.. but i won't ask why.. dun ask me why i won't ask why.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;If you can have a dream to come true, what would it be?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;it's the very same question i do ask other ppl.. and i call it somewhat my own survey question..got others la.. but nvm.. i guess i would wish for this world to be filled to the brim with love.. love that will last forever.. ha.. some imba..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;What will your dream wedding be like?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;i think a very simple one would do.. especially with all the traditions and beliefs.. etc.. definitely one of the ceremonies wld b in church.. dun nid to elaborate.. and spending time alone together at a place we both love? lyk maybe on the sand of the beach? *shrug*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Are you confused of what lies ahead of you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;yeah.. but i dun think confused is the word.. uncertain perhaps.. becos no one can predict the future.. and the future is uncertain! but of course..ppl will say.. the future is in your hands.. it's up to u to shape it.. but as it is now.. my life is in a mess.. i reali dunno how i'll go about facing my future..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;What's your ideal lover like?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;wah.. a tough question.. someone who will love me as much as i lover her.. which i hope will to b an infinitely big extent.. will b a loving and caring mother.. i wouldn't look too much at age and looks.. altho it does play a part in dis world.. preferably someone shorter than me or arnd the same height? someone who will understand me no matter wat happens.. someone whom i can lean on.. altho it shld mostly b the other way arnd.. be able to present herself nicely.. some self-confidence and esteem? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;do you have a person that you wish you will be with now?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;i reali reali dunno how to ans dis question.. it's bcos i reali am unsure of how im feeling right now.. apologies to all and to the question..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;i would say both.. bcos in the first place.. loving is a blessing.. so be it being a blessing to someone.. or u will be blessed.. but then again.. it will definitely be easier to feel blessed if u are being loved.. and if u love someone.. whether or not u will feel blessed.. depends on how u view love..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;How long do you intend to wait for someone you really love?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;for someone i reali love.. i think i'll wait for as long as it might take.. but of course.. if she has found her happiness.. or she has clearly stated that we wouldn't b possible.. den dere's no point in forcing.. there wld be unhappiness.. and dat contradicts love.. ever heard of "to love is to let go?" of cos applicable in those circumstances only.. but on the other hand.. if she needs time to accept me.. i'll wait..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;if the person you secretly liked is already attached, what would you do?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;i will hang on for a period of time.. and observe if anything happens.. if i see that they are happy together.. i'll allow time to lyk lose my feelings.. but if dey are nt happy together i wun break dem up lar! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;is there anything that makes you unhappy these days?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;erm.. nt reali.. i guess it's more of lyk getting trapped in my own past.. and running arnd in circles around dem..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;is being tagged fun?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;to know that there will b ppl who tag u.. yeah.. but to do these so many many many questions.. not realli..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;how do you see yourself in ten years time?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;10 years..dats 27..i guess i'll be happily married?.. hopefully having a good job.. wif good income..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;who are currently most important people to you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;God, family members.. friends.. all my frens actually.. but esp. those im closer to.. tt includes my mei..yep..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;what kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;a reali good fren to hav.. someone who wld be willing to stand by her frens.. can get abit high-pitched at times? =P caring.. smiley (quite often but will b good if it were more often).. nice.. xD&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;would you rather to be single and rich or married but poor?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;married but poor.. materialistic gains are but nothing.. although it seems lyk everything in this world.. whats more priceless is having the company of someone whom u love and loves u..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;what's the first thing you do every morning?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;stretch? i think..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;would you give your all in a relationship?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;i wld give my all.. in any relationship.. to even go into a relationship in the first place, it definitely reflects that u ARE serious about that someone.. and if u r getting into a relationship that u know wun last forever..den wats the pt of getting into that relationship?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;if you fall in love with two person simultaneously, who would you pick?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;i think chances of that happening to me are quite small.. but if it does happen.. i guess i will choose the wan i feel a greater sense of closeness with? that im able to relate better to.. and she is able to relate better to me as well.. one that i feel so strong about..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;what type of friends do you like?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;easy-going.. funny.. committed.. persevering.. determined.. ones u can share wif abt anything and almost everything.. humble.. pleasant..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;if given the chance to turn back time, will you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;yeah.. i wld want to correct all the bad things i did.. wrong things i did.. things dat i cld hav done in a much better way.. allowed some things to happen? and disallowed some things to happen? but if can turn back time.. den u lyk alr know whats going to happen b4 it even happens..den dats quite.. unfair?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;what is the last thing you would do before you die?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;i wld want to at least get to talk to everyone i know.. especially those im closer to.. those whom i love.. and those who love me.. let them know they played a very significant role in my life..thank dem whole-heartedly..&amp;amp; tell them to move on wif life &amp;amp; treasure it to its fullest..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well... 2 down!! i think i shld do the other wan another day.. it's

type='text'>thoughts just keep running through my head..</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;well.. read my title.. and if it reminds u of the song "raindrops keep falling on my head".. den u are smt lyk in sync wif me? yeah.. but then again..maybe that's highly unlikely.. lol.. im mad.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;well.. recent spate of events.. yet again.. makes me think alot alot alot.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;running into someone.. whom u somewhat thought u might meet.. at this particular location.. and true enough.. u two met.. and den loads of thoughts.. emotions.. feelings.. the past memories.. just flood back in.. lyk gushing through the blood vessels in your brain or smt.. and next second.. u know u are lyk abit unstable.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;thinking about the world.. i guess i have a few thought-provoking questions.. for myself.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;in this world.. do you fight for survival or are u kept surviving?&lt;br /&gt;in this world.. do you pursue for your happiness or does happiness find you?&lt;br /&gt;in this world.. do you conform to the changes of the world (change along wif the world) or do u make a difference in the world though small it may be?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;i reali am speechless.. i finally realised.. the mistake that i made.. was way too big.. the involvement i got myself into.. way too deep.. and yeah.. im somewhat scarred for life? how long wld the wound take to heal? almost forever it seems.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;have been going to bishan library.. every saturday.. to read some pages of some books.. and if u do know me..yeah..psychology books.. took down a few quotes.. thot i might want to share.. but this wan is from pasir ris library.. was dere on mon.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;it is not how much we do&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;but how much love we put into the doing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;it is not how much we give&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;but how much love we put into the giving&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;-Mother Theresa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;altho this might seem lyk a rather ordinary quote.. i still felt it is reali meaningful.. it's love.. ever thought about what actually keeps the world in this manner.. or what keeps the world what it is todae.. it's actually love.. okay..dun take it from me.. but i feel.. it's the very basic emotion.. feeling.. that is applicable to everything and anything... but yeah..sigh.. now i hav another quote.. dis wan frm a book in bishan library.. rather long..but nvm.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;to laugh is to risk appearing a fool&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;to weep is to risk appearing sentimental&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;to reach out is to risk involvement &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;to expose feelings is to risk revealing your true self &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;to place your ideas and dreams before the crowd is to risk their love&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;to love is to risk not being loved in return&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;to live is to risk dying&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;to hope is to risk despair&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;to try is to risk failure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;but the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;one who risks nothing for nothing, has nothing and finally is nothing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;he may avoid sufferings and sorrow but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow or love &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;he has forfeited freedom&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;only one who risks is free..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;-Unknown&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;how amazing the power of love is.. u wld just be willing to do anything and everything.. u would just go the distance for the one u love without hesitation.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;the power of love...... are u

why.. it's alr 12.30am.. when i switched on the com at lyk wat.. 9.30... gosh...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;okay..term2 comes to a close.. and a not-going-to-be-able-to-survive term3 is going to start sooner or later.. pw.. mid-years.. pw.. pw.. and more pw.. it's gonna b packed.. as we hav already been told.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;well.. just about realised.. i actually don't blog that often.. once a week.. yeah.. but it feels rather often to me.. but oh well.. doesnt realli matter that much.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;i guess it's jus gonna b a... lets say.... emo time again.. i mean lyk thats what i literally do.. in my blog posts.. just allow thoughts and emotions to flow.......................&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;well.. i realli realli am beginning to believe that i seriously care too much.. for my own good.. it's lyk messing myself up.. yar.. i probably don't even need to go to that extent.. but when i do.. i end up thinking and thinking and thinking.. and now looking back at myself.. i just know that i shouldn't b thinking that far.. just wonder wats making me think lyk a gone-mad person.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;so how do u get used to not doing something that u were so used to doing.. it's lyk suddenly a usual part of your routine or smt vanquishes.. and den u just get "crippled" by that fact dat u can't do the same thing that u are so used to doing.. and it just creates an empty feeling inside of u.. smt that cannot reali b replaced by other stuff.. indulge in things to do? and don't think about it? it'll take much more than that.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;and somehow.. the feeling of emptiness and loneliness just caves in again.. nvr felt this way for quite some time ler.. and dis time again.. it's rather strong.. has nvr been dis strong for quite some time now.. looking back at all the past.. it's lyk definitely.. dey hav all played a part in what u have become todae.. and yar.. it just shapes u.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;perhaps this is one of my shortest posts ever? lol.. can't rmb when's the last time i posted smt dis short.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;attempting nt to think.... i must be ambitious or smt..&lt;/span&gt;

BUT..the harsh reality is that what everyone wld.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;what kinda person u want to be.. is entirely up to u.. but ultimately.. the way u behave.. the way u talk.. the clothes u wear.. and etc etc.. all lead to someone making a judgement of u.. dats how judgemental the world is.. and definitely.. all of the above wld also indirectly show what kinda frens u wish to have.. what kinda ppl u wld want to hang and mix arnd wif.. altho dere are genuine exceptions.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;ever thought of how deceptive the world is now? it takes advantage of any truthful individual and stabs them in the back.. is being too trusting a crime? and den ppl will start saying that u are naive and stuff lyk that.. sigh&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;okay.. it's realli getting late now.. and i realli gonna k.o liao ler.. hai.. altho i wld want to post much much more......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17995661-1710643668356370559?l=aspire2achieve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aspire2achieve.blogspot.com/feeds/1710643668356370559/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17995661&amp;postID=1710643668356370559' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17995661/posts/default/1710643668356370559'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17995661/posts/default/1710643668356370559'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aspire2achieve.blogspot.com/2008/04/and-your-sleeping-times-go-gaga.html' title='and your sleeping times go gaga..'/><author><name>tim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10080647328901456645</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17995661.post-545912143985216532</id><published>2008-04-19T22:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-25T08:44:34.440-07:00</updated><title type='text'>sleepless nights...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;sigh.. oh lol.. wat a way to begin a post.. simply by sighing..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the entire week is lyk crap.. sleeping past midnight every night.. i think except for 1 night.. having to douse yourself wif a dosage of caffeine.. having to drag yourself to school.. it's just becoming more and more meaningless.. especially when u go through lectures and tutorials when your mind is half conscious.. while the other half is lyk drifting away.. literally.. stress has been piling up.. and never-ending work is being "thrown" at u.. u can't afford to slip up.. or u'll just lag behind..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;can't believe im actually feeling the stress already.. it's only april.. at J1.. i realli wonder whats gonna happen to me.. sigh..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway.. sidetrack abit.. so sad lar! came home today and found that the first nylon string of my guitar snapped.. lyk i didnt even know when it happened.. hai..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;although last night was one of the longest nights i had ever slept.. especially if u were to compare wif the nights of the past week.. i wouldnt exactly say that it was a good sleep.. thats becos i dreamt.. i wld sae it's smt nt that i dun want to dream abt.. but rather smt that i wld rather not dream abt.. cos it'll lead me to think about alot and alot of stuff.. and it has been some time.. till last night i was reminded of it again..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what if u had lost someone very close to u.. i guess it wld almost exactly be the same as u lost ur hp.. u're whole self will nt feel at ease.. u'll feel weird.. u'll feel that something's missing! and actually a big part of u is missing..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;u may think.. does the other person know how i feel? and for all u noe.. the other person is also thinking the same way.. "do u know how he/she feels?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i guess it's true.. when there's no proper closure.. when there's jus a sudden and abrupt ending to the friendship/relationship.. it'll just lead u into depression.. becos even if things were to end.. you yourself know.. that u wouldn't want it to end that way.. but the harsh truth is that things hav to end in a way that neither parties can b happy wif.. precisely becos the 2 parties hav differences in the way they want to regard each other frm now on..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ever thought why it's hard for a couple to regard each other as friends after breaking up? not to even mention talk to each other?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;how about friends.. the moment u lose them.. it's gone.. nvr to be in sight again.. never will be the same again..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;WHY..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;are relationships and friendships that fragile?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;whats the point in putting in so much effort into maintaining a relationship.. or a friendship wif someone.. when u might just lose it some day.. when ppl might just treat u differently after a period of time..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Whats the POINT?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;dunno wat has gotten into me.. perhaps it's just the great empty feeling that's towering over me once again..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17995661-545912143985216532?l=aspire2achieve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aspire2achieve.blogspot.com/feeds/545912143985216532/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17995661&amp;postID=545912143985216532' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17995661/posts/default/545912143985216532'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17995661/posts/default/545912143985216532'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aspire2achieve.blogspot.com/2008/04/sleepless-nights.html' title='sleepless nights...'/><author><name>tim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10080647328901456645</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17995661.post-6030831601916187203</id><published>2008-04-12T23:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-14T05:50:16.651-07:00</updated><title type='text'>what a week it has been..</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;well.. i will hav difficulties describing how the past week has been.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;friday after guitar.. went to meet 1S02!

fast-paced.. and dere's no time for slacking or even letting loose of our focus.. todae was the release of A level results.. ppl will b happy.. ppl will b unhappy.. it's all part and parcel of life.. it was jus lyk getting O level results for me.. and it reminded me of how i actually felt.. that moment.. that hour.. that day.. and just todae.. we were supposed to b dismissed at 12 due to the release of the A level results.. but our GP teacher held us back to get an english essay done lor.. and she didn even noe we were supposed to b dismissed at 12.. amazing.. best part.. it was our English CA1.. so it was realli quite a killer.. sighs.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;and today being a friday.. most ppl dun wan2 go home.. yar.. but me.. i went home.. lol.. and slept for lyk 2 hours.. yeah.. dere wasn much for me to do outside also.. no one to hang around wif.. or rather it was too impromptu.. and so.. all last minute plans had to b abandoned.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;but anyways.. this moning.. a few of us met up to hav a morning run.. ran 7 rounds around the track.. and mann.. it was quite regretful lar.. by the time we actually cleaned ourselves up and prepare for morning assembly.. everything was rather rushed.. yeah.. even during morning assembly.. i was still sweating profusely.. and yar.. perspiration just kept dripping and dripping and dripping.. anyway.. this plan was put into action after wednesday's basketball training.. yeah.. it was lyk so hiong lar.. running non-stop for almost 20 minutes.. and i mean running.. nt jogging.. den dere were a few other exercises too which realli stretched us physically.. and so the 5 of us.. were reminded of how physically unfit we were.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;oh well.. just cant seem to figure out the way im thinking abt my life right now.. it's lyk

around 11.30 plus.. and by the time i hav cleaned up and everything.. jus nice midnight.. no one realli arnd to actually talk to me.. and spend the arrival of christmas day with.. unlike xuanyi and meimei.. ha.. and so.. i called my church fren.. and we welcomed the arrival of christmas dae tgt.. and with the recent spate of events in my mind.. i was thinking.. this was realli gonna be a sad christmas.. it was lyk i realli didn't know wat was wrong with me or with the way i was thinking... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;but i realli thank God for the msg this morning at my church.. talking abt this morning.. i woke up arnd 9.45am.. and i was lyk shoots.. my own church service was gonna start in lyk 45 minutes time.. and i rushed lorx.. den i saw dat my family members were all still laxing away.. den i figured out dat dey werent going lorx.. and usually.. i go wif dem.. dat kinda thing.. and so.. after some thought.. i got changed after cleaning up and without having my breakfast i rushed out of the house to go on my own.. and amazingly..jus as i was coming down frm the overhead bridge to the bus stop.. i saw my bus drive off.. so i spent the nxt fifteen minutes waiting for e nxt bus but none came.. so i decided to take taxi.. reached church at about 10.40.. 10 minutes late.. sigh.. but i didn regret at all..even tho i sat on the steps.. the songs inspired by the choir.. and the wonderful msg.. realli reminded me tt this christmas.. we should be focusing the whole idea of christmas on God alone.. and nth else.. in fact.. every christmas..

centuries.. or even milleniums.. but oh well.. i just haven been blogging.. can't actually believe i'm posting now.. woo hoo.. haha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well... m feeling rather tired now.. especially after all that has happened.. if im not tired i must be mad.. first thing had geog mcq this morning.. fairly do-able.. but yeah.. messed up abit.. oh well.. no one's perfect i guess..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;having been out of the blogging scene for so long.. i guess i really don't know what much to sae.. but yeah.. it's just that the past few months have beenr rather hectic.. struggling wif my own emotional struggles.. studies.. even landed myself into what they call the Enhanced Study Programme.. sighx.. but oh well.. i guess it really benefitted me.. in a way to be more disciplined and self-motivated towards my studies.. well.. just lyk what everyone else might say.. i mugged lyk i nvr mugged before.. hahas..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and 2 more papers left.. both on nxt monday.. and it's freedom.. freedom from the past 3 weeks.. past few months.. and perhaps even a year.. after all that i hv gone through... how i wish it cld be simply forgotten.. especially the emotions.. definitely i wun want to forget my studies.. haha.. but yeah.. it's nvr tat easy.. it's just lyk it has already become part of u.. a part of what u hv become.. and yup.. it will exist for as long as u live kinda thing..but sighx.. life's liddat..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;im just thankful for those around me.. i believe many of u will agree wif me that it's ppl around u that keep u going.. keep u

OUR chapter.. our story.. our friendship fades......... im referring to friendship here.. and yar.. feeling crippled.. honestly.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;i lost not only a friend.. someone to whom i felt extremely and remarkably close to.. but no matter how much i am going to sae.. it probably wouldnt make a difference to this someone.. im already non-existent.. to this someone.. and i want u ppl to know.. it's not that i am self-pitying myself.. it's not that i wun pick myself up.. but if u r crippled.. how do u pick urself up physically.. even emotionally and mentally.. it's tough.. extremely tough.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;after reflecting and really thinking about it.. how much i want u to know.. that i really regret a few things that i did.... and.... i just rreally and honestly wish that everything cld just start all over again... i know that's impossible.. and lyk i mentioned.. it will never be the same again.. how i wish everyone out there knows that ur relationship with everyone else around u is very precious.. it's very fragile.. one wrong mistake and u might end up regretting for the rest of your life.. easy for u to sae.. that u wun commit any mistake.. but yeah.. how well do u treasure ur friendship with others... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;regret is probably the most foolish thing on this earth.. lyk mentioned in yuan dian.. last episode on monday.. and yup.. it was so touching.. i nearly cried.. and in any case.. i did feel lyk crying.. with the song in the background.. and stuff.. everything jus rushed in emotionally... and i just can't help myself alright... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;memories.. sometimes u wld wish to keep them.. sometimes u would not.. especially when they are unhappy ones..

style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;well.. of the many many calls i made to u.. or u made to me.. it was always good to know that u were talking to me.. or i was talking to u... to someone whom i cannot fully describe the way i feel towards.. i just dunno how to xplain it either.. all i know.. it's deep.. it's remarkable closeness.. and a way which i nvr felt for anyone before.. i just dunno how to carry on the rest of this letter.......................................... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;i know.. all these while.. i hav probably caused u alot of irritation.. annoyance.. and i really hope u'll forgive me.. but i just know that i hav to talk to u.. i hav alot of things to iron out with u.. and i want to know u for the rest of my life.. to me.. our friendship.. our relationship... is special.. unique.. and different as compared to others..  and right now... as everything.. turns out this way.. i never expected it.. NEVER.. but expect the unexpected? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;the times.. the past.. everything.. when we went to the beach together.. helping u with ur homework.. polishing of boots.. our first movie together.. watching the fireworks.. well.. im really sry.. i dun even hav any exact intention of reminding u of them.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;well.. u r going for camp tmr.. and.. i just wanted to say alot more stuff to u.. didnt xpect u to be sleeping.. but nvm.. i guess this is the only way i can communicate wif u frm now on? not even frm now on.. but for the last time... even if im not gonna hear a single word of reply frm u.. i really pray that God will watch over u.. u'll take good care of urself.. be able to sleep well.. eat well.. nth bad happens to u.. be in good health.. throughout the camp.. and also even for the rest of the days of ur life.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;u can't believe i mentioned severing of ties.. well.. i can't believe myself either.. but i honestly think we are going nowhere.. and i can't take all this treatment frm u.. i can't wait? i dun think it's a matter abt waiting.. neither izzit abt the after o levels.. den we cld revert back to normal.. but it's about our friendship.. our kor-mei relationship frm now until our o levels.. it's the friendship that wld take us through frm now until my o levels finish.. u said i don't mean it? i wan u to know.. that i don't mean it as a threat.. but more so for u to know and perhaps understand smt.. well.. but i think all that is not important now.. im really sry for the way things have turned out.. i didnt want things to turn out this way.. i even thot we cld be in close relations with each other forever or smt.. but im wrong.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;lyk i told u.. i really want to hear things frm ur side.. i want to know wat u r thinking.. wat u r feeling.. and u wldn't even tell me.. being so certain that i wldnt understand.. but im more than happy enough to hear u tell me all these alright.. cos i wan 2take into consideration u.. EVERYTHING frm u.. but u wun allow me to........... i dun blame u.. perhaps i tried too hard.. i tried too much.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;i've nvr wanted to blame u.... i admit.. there were countless.. no. of times where i did alot of things to u.. be it hanging up on u.. dao-ing u.. and everything else.. but right before u go for camp.. u hang up on me.. i really can't see otherwise.. i just want u to know that ALL THESE daoing.. hanging up on u.. i never meant it.. I NEVER WANTED TO MEAN IT frm the bottom of my heart.. i admit.. i did all these things in a bid to get back at u.. to make u feel wat it's lyk whatsoever.. but i've come to realise.. that all these are not gonna improve things but instead make things worse.. so i really want u to know that im really really sorry..... for all the bad things i hav done.. and that includes breaking ur trust........... by doing wat u nvr expected me to do..  i know.. perhaps.. once trust is broken.. it will be very hard to earn it back again.. and start trusting again... and i can't blame u..... perhaps this is wat i deserve.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;even if u r not gonna be reading this.. i somehow just still wanna sae.. that take care.. may God's divine protection be upon u always.. and may he protect u frm all evil.. if u were to ask me.. why i keep mentioning God to u.. well.. it's because i want u to know..that it is He who really helps me out in times of need.. when i was in one of my darkest moments in my life so far.. it was he who showed me the light at the end of the tunnel.. and he who was beside me all this while.. and i want to introduce Him.. to you.. that u may know him better and better.. each day and eventually walk in the footsteps of him.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;finally.. when i look into ur face... for the past few times i met u.. i really find myself speechles.. probably because i feel as though i hav so much to sae to u.. but yet i really dunno where to begin.. and i know u wun lyk me talking to u in tt manner too.. i find myself wanting to hug u.. so much.. and hug u closely..tightly.. but i keep suppressing it.. down into my heart.. cos of many many many reasons.. and i believe u wld know some of them.. u r just special to me alright.. you are special... to me............................................. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;sry for ALL that has happened.. and i hope u'll treat the past year plus as nth at all ritex.. and yar.. take extremely good care of urself......... eat.. dun skip ur meals especially ur lunches.. pls.... im walking away now......... dun turn around for me alright.. keep ur back facing me and move on with life.. don't let me get into ur way.... big big things await u.. and u definitely can do without me in ur life.. hope to see u make it big in the future.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;GOD'S RICHEST BLESSINGS BE UPON YOU.............&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17995661-1636157159414362671?l=aspire2achieve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aspire2achieve.blogspot.com/feeds/1636157159414362671/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17995661&amp;postID=1636157159414362671' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17995661/posts/default/1636157159414362671'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17995661/posts/default/1636157159414362671'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aspire2achieve.blogspot.com/2007/06/my-last-words-to-u.html' title='my last words to u..'/><author><name>tim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10080647328901456645</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17995661.post-4089322698332847499</id><published>2007-05-28T08:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-28T08:02:41.776-07:00</updated><title type='text'>a time of loneliness that i have to face alone... everyone has left me..</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;well.. i really honestly want to declare out loud.. and perhaps tell everyone else on this planet.. and maybe other planets as well.. im the biggest loser.. the most screwed up guy around anywhere in this universe.. galaxy, milky way.. etc.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;first reason.. i went back to school.. practically becos i had nth better to do.. can u beat that?

"why out of all floors they choose this floor?" i got abit into the thinking mode.. and yar.. moreover i was thinking abt her.. and..yar..it jus suddenly became so evident into my mind.. tt she's still outside..not replying my smses or picking up my calls.. oh well.. okay.. jus keep this thingy in mind.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;couldnt get to sleep even 2 hrs later.. probably because of the tea that i drank or smt.. or was it because i was too worried for her.. sighx.. in any case..it was already sunday early morning at around 12.30am..and i was apparently so worried for someone who still havent gotten home yet.. and kept ignoring my calls.. but i guess thats wat i get in return for wat i did.. my retribution.. so i stayed up until arnd 1.30..if im not wrong.. yup.. spent my time disturbing someone.. oh u know hu u r.. and den yar..the cordless phone was spoilt also..and so i felt so confined.. to just tat particular spot at my study room.. and so looking aimlessly out of the window.. i saw this couple.. at the roof of the public carpark that my block is facing.. they were seated on a small ledge near the staircase.. and yar.. they were making out alright.. somehow quite prominently.. although the lamps of the carpark were dimly lit.. and yar..wat u xpect me to do.. i of course look out of the window lar.. talking over the phone so sianly.. and yar..nth else better to do.. so yar..just stare at the couple lor..i believe they were around our age.. so yar..nvm.. and den jus kept looking at looking.. they were lyk kissing each other for over 5 minutes now.. and i was thinking to myself.. wa seh..hiong sia.. in public somemore.. they must be thinking tat at this hour no one will be watching.. but they are so awfully wrong.. haha!! so just kept noticing.. and soon enough.. the girl..got down frm the guy's lap.. very slowly.. and they both stood up still very slowly.. kissing still alright..mind u.. and both of them slowly fell over behind the pillar.. and i mean fell over.. down to the ground.. and tt was where i lost sight of dem.. but im kinda thankful i lost sight of them.. cos yar.. GOD knows wat they were doing.. i believe u guys can also guess lar.. and so.. yar.. this incident really made me think abt wat this world is becoming to.. wat this world will become into.. and wat this world will become eventually.. mann..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;looking at all of that.. and thinking about her.. it jus really makes me cannot sleep.. and yar..not picking up my calls.. not replying my smses.. i jus couldnt feel easy.. oh well.. and arnd 1.30am.. i cldnt disturb tt person anymore.. so i jus yar..hung up lor..i laid awake on my bed.. and prayed.. until gradually and very slowly.. i fell asleep somehow..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;woke up the nxt morning feeling terribly awful.. but wat to do..my life's lyk that.. and yar.. had to go to church still..hav exams the nxt day.. and wah..im lyk so slack.. but it has been one week already..  and exams are finally over.. not much of a great satisfaction as i was describing but yar..at least we can relax now.. poof... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;have been really putting down alot of big things lately.. huge.. prominent things in my life.. and i all of a sudden feel so empty.. loneliness? not exactly.. emptiness? perhaps.. i don't know how to face u anymore.. i don't know how to talk to u anymore.. i don't know EVERYTHING.. abt u..regarding u.. anymore.. alright..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;totally drained.. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17995661-7405280910792667792?l=aspire2achieve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aspire2achieve.blogspot.com/feeds/7405280910792667792/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17995661&amp;postID=7405280910792667792' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17995661/posts/default/7405280910792667792'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17995661/posts/default/7405280910792667792'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aspire2achieve.blogspot.com/2007/05/exams-are-over.html' title='exams are over....'/><author><name>tim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10080647328901456645</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17995661.post-4723386672645324290</id><published>2007-05-11T22:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-11T07:52:52.964-07:00</updated><title type='text'>i never felt so screwed up ever before.. in my entire life..</title><content type='html'>i never felt so screwed up in my entire life.. so mixed up.. so messed up...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i really dunno.. why is all this happening.. alright.. how u actually managed to abandon me just lyk that.. turn ur back on me.. and actually forget about literally everything that has happened over the past 1 year.. lets not talk about ur side..cos i dun even know.. but let me tell u.. everything from my point in view.. alright..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to me.. the past 1 year has really been a memorable one for me.. getting to know u and stuff lyk that.. i can still vividly rmb the days when we first knew each other.. the days when we first started talking to each other.. through msn or through the phone.. so on and forth.. and everything else.. especially the more memorable occasions.. be it watching my first movie with u.. or going to watch the fireworks during the national day period with u.. to me.. all these had left a big impact on me.. a huge imprint on me.. that i doubt i can ever erase it off.. not just by the click of ur handphone and ur messages get deleted.. neither by the click of the mouse do u delete ur email..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i somehow or rather started feelings this very deep sense of closeness towards u.. i just felt so whole-heartedly giving my all in whichever point in time of our friendship.. whatever i cld provide.. i wld.. whatever i could give.. i would also do the same..

type='text'>thoughts about life.. thoughts about me..</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;well..it has really been some time since i last blogged... lyk one month already.. haha.. and yup.. looking back.. it has really been one month.. yar..bdae and all.. oh well..&lt;br /&gt;firstly.. i just wonder.. why is my life so screwed up.. izzit smt abt myself that im not aware of.. and even wif ppl telling me i just can't seem to see whats wrong with it? or izzit this world that we live in that is so corrupted and yar..screwed up.. i guess both isnt it.. then again.. life is never fair.. it was NEVER fair..&lt;br /&gt;someone whom u thot cld be a very very good friend to u.. having so many things in common and stuff lyk that.. it really made it seem as though it was going to be a perfect friendship.. and i guess i was the one that screwed it up.. but somehow or rather.. i feel as though an explanation is needed... im just silenced.. why.. u walked away without even telling me in advance..perhaps u did.. but i didnt believe it wld go to that extent.. it's jus lyk smt taken away frm u isn't it.. without even knowing why... it really hurts..&lt;br /&gt;having fewer and fewer ppl to talk to..by the days.. and fewer and fewer ppl closer to u by the days.. is this an indication that i shld start fully concentrating on my work? but where wld be the ppl whom i want to talk to when i just want to unwind and chill off abit.. where wld they be when i just need someone to talk to.. well.. everyone alright..everyone's drifting away.. even the ppl whom i thought i was close to.. or at least close enough to.. they are all jus giving me cold shoulders.. hais...&lt;br /&gt;i just thank God for having a really really good friend..even i dun talk to him really often... but i feel his passion for God.. i am inspired by his words at times.. and every other thing else.. he's there to just hear me out.. and he wld always give me thots and ideas on how he thinks i'll be able to solve my problems.. i guess it's the psychological barrier that i have to break through..&lt;br /&gt;i really pray.. that God will work through me.. to give me renewed strength and wisdom everydae.. and the courage for me to face everything that comes my way.. giving me a new outlook in my life and taking things with a happier and positive attitude..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;Philippians 4:13  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;smile more

type='text'>any other ordinary day?</title><content type='html'>was it just another ordinary day for me? well.. in some ways yea..but in some ways.. not.. interestingly... this is my 99th post for my blog.. what a way to celebrate todae..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;well..woke up at around 8am in the morning todae.. refusing to budge cos the whole of yesterday nvr sleep at all.. was in camp.. and yeah..just didn't wanna sleep.. afterall.. it was sec1 camp.. and it was a great time for us to bond amongst the sec4s.. through the night.. through the morning.. it was cool.. playing bridge frm lyk 2am to 3.30am.. den a grp of them came back frm outside..cos dey went out to buy food for us..and dey ate dere also lars.. wah.. dey walk all the way to parkway lars..luckily i didnt follow them.. den eat until arnd 4... went to play bb and soccer.. until arnd 5.30.. den after that we all just rested.. until it was time for the sec1s to wake up.. and den the day carried on.. oops..i digressed too much..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;so yea.. i just refused to budge..until lyk 15 min later.. den i dragged myself out of bed.. the only time i slept after i came home was frm 3.30 in the afternoon till around 6 plus.. 3 hrs of sleep.. nt bad.. shuang.. but nt shuang enough.. had dinner with my godparents and family.. received a few red packets frm dem and a present frm my god-nieces.. haha.. only 3 years old lars..and dey so cute somemore.. twins larhs.. yea.. chaojiwudi cute.. den we went to walk around..across the kallang river using the tanjong rhu bridge.. the scenery was very nice.. and we took many many pictures.. it was a rather meaningful night.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;although the last part of the night wasnt a really happy wan for me.. what can i do.. i'm fated to be lyk this all my life or smt.. having a sense of unhappiness forvever inside of me.. perhaps one day it will just trigger off.. and yea..u might not find me anywhere anymore..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;well..that was saturday.. on sunday.. as i was saying..woke up at 8am.. and was surprised to see 3 messages and a missed call.. but nonetheless dey cheered me up a little bit.. and so went off to church.. my friends wished me happy birthdae...very much appreciated guys.. dey even wanted to sing a happy bdae song very loudly lars..wanting to embarrass me..but dey decided not to..cos we were in the sanctuary.. went out to hav lunch with our AG grp at a nearby coffee shop.. and after which we all went home.. after bathing.. slumped down into my bed..and slept for another 3 hrs again todae.. until arnd 6.30.. yup.. went dinner at my ah ma's house as usual.. it was at this time that xuanyi smsed me.. and yup.. i finally am sure tt i hv a didi ler.. thats one thing im happy abt.. although i dunno why i m unable to express it on my face..but thankx alot xuanyi.. we cut a cake to celebrate my bdae.. and haha..smt very funny happened.. while dey were singing the bdae song for me.. my 4 yr old cousin was coughing away.. and halfway in the middle of the song.. he actually vomitted! hahas.. lol..i was lyk.. err..okay.... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;thats why i said...todae is just lyk any other ordinary dae.. in some ways and in not some ways.. nonetheless.. i still wanna thank those who rmbed me and my bdae.. in no order of merit ya ppl.. deborah, peiyun meimei, skye, kangming, kevin, chin yi, mu en, xuanyi didi.. bennett, long kuan and lim min.. special thankx to bennett for the piggy.. hahas..its name is ashley and yea.. really cute.. it looks puffed up and yea..has a small curly wurly tail behind.. appreciate it very much..thanks.. thankx to u guys.. all those i mentioned.. it was u ppl that made my bdae a bdae.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc33;"&gt;although i somehow or rather want someone else to be in the list of ppl i mentioned above.. i know.. its probably impossible to let her noe abt it.. dere was a chance to let her know my bdae.. but i didn't..and now..tt chance is taken away frm me.. not only the chance to tell her when my bdae is.. but also probably to ever be friends again.. nt

type='text'>interesting events hv been happening lately..</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;well.. jus came back from skittleball competition organised by yio chu kang secondary school.. in ang mo kio.. totally shack and worn out.. lol.. run here run dere.. jump here jump dere.. shout here shout dere.. hai.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;if not for nano i wouldn hav actually come online now lars.. which also means that i wouldn't be typing this post now.. yeah.. well.. he wanted me to send him smt immediately once i got home.. so yeah.. sighx..  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;well.. the skittleball competition was rather fun.. it jus started to become even more fun when we started getting the hang of it.. yeah.. learning all the various tactics and stuff lyk that.. we won most of our games.. we lost 1.. abit lyk thrashing lar.. but nvm.. its over.. and we drew one also.. due to time constraint.. so yea.. but in the end this game was not counted as this game was the last game of the entire competition for us.. a win wld score us 3 points.. draw 2 points and loss no points.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;so after all the games were played.. everyone gathered to listen to the results.. we were so happy when it was announced that we won first.. although in our hearts we somehow knew that somewhere smt was not right.. afterall there was another sch that won every match that they played and so dey shld actually be the one getting the first plac.e.. just as everyone was leaving after the results were released, Mayflower Sec appealed to the officers to check the scores again and yea.. true enough.. we werent supposed to get first.. and so we had to exchange our trophies.. oh well.. what to do.. what is meant to be yours will be yours.. but since it isn't.. so well.. yup.. lets just accept it.. its how we play the game.. and not the outcome of it.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;went for dinner at a nearby coffee shop.. the hor fun and fried rice was really nice.. yea.. and so as we were making our way back to ang mo kio mrt station, we bumped into our friends frm Manjusri again... we met at yio chu kang sec.. we met on the playing field.. and we met them again just outside the mrt.. and so we travelled together.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;nvr knew that the guy frm Manjusri that was with us stayed so near me.. and so we alighted at the same station and he even called me as we were walking down the stairs.. i expected to be the only wan alighting at Eunos Mrt marhs.. den he actually said loudly "don't so lonely lehs.." den i turned out and looked.. yea..it was him lors.. and den we started talking... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;even ended up giving him a lift home cos my father decided to come fetch me.. and yup.. in the process.. i made a new friend.. just lyk that.. haha.. cool huh.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;i have been wanting to blog abt smt that happened last week.. last friday.. well.. me and my friend were crossing the road.. at the pedestrian crossing.. and we saw this frog/toad (whatever it is) hopping and hopping.. well.. he looked so poor thing lar.. cos he was at the same time using the exact same pedestrian crossing as us.. well.. we were at the central divider and Kevin wanted to pick him up.. i stopped him and told him that there was 6 seconds left before the red man would be lighted up.. so we hurriedly crossed over.. and dere we stood at the other end of the road.. looking out for wat might happen to the frog.. we cld still see him hopping and hopping.. a car missed him.... a taxi missed him.. the front wheels of a bus missed him.. but yea.. the back wheels didn't.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;well.. you shld have seen both our reactions.. we were lyk "oh!! OH! !!!" and even i was covering my ears and eyes.. cos well.. u see.. when the frog was run over, there was this loud "piak" sound.. just lyk a super loud snap.. and well.. if u can imagine this.. i pictured in my mind that the frog "exploded" lars.. and that his organs were forced out of him.. and i felt really pitiful for him.. and guess wat my friend did.. he blamed me lars.. for stopping him from picking up the frog.. for if he did.. the frog wouldn't have ended up in this state.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;this incident really made me think.. how sudden one's life can be taken away.. we honestly need to treasure our lives and maximise it to its fullest.. if God wants to... he'll just take it away from you and there's NOTHING you can do about it.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;even till now.. im having images of it appearing in my mind.. and i really feel sad.. sighx.. ppl.. do treasure your life alright.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;okay.. gotta go offline already.. still got some stuff to do before i turn in.. so yup.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;signing off....................&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17995661-6525321211365251568?l=aspire2achieve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aspire2achieve.blogspot.com/feeds/6525321211365251568/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17995661&amp;postID=6525321211365251568' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17995661/posts/default/6525321211365251568'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17995661/posts/default/6525321211365251568'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aspire2achieve.blogspot.com/2007/03/interesting-events-hv-been-happening.html' title='interesting events hv been happening lately..'/><author><name>tim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10080647328901456645</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17995661.post-2646741288110834764</id><published>2007-02-20T12:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-19T21:01:05.843-08:00</updated><title type='text'>sick of life?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#ffff00;"&gt;okay.. everything is jus caving down on me isn't it.. everything is just wanting to make me fall.. as if school is not enough.. external pressures.. everything else.. why.. someone tell me why is my life lyk tat...&lt;br /&gt;u know.. i really am sorry for all those people who know me.. who have been trying to cheer me up and things lyk tat?

type='text'>...whats life...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;well. has been quite some time since i posted.. the last time i posted was when i was sick..hai.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;exams.. cannot be considered to have ended yet up bah.. but some ppl tell me they already consider it to hav ended liao le.. so yea.. *shrug*.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;last paper.. geography.. mcq.. its lyk so crap lar.. purposely split it up into two days.. and so happened.. yea.. so happened.. dat ITS OVER THE WEEKEND.. whoa!! thankx lors.. spoil the weekend for me.. argh.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;welll.. have been thinking alot about life lately.. as in.. generally.. and i really wonder... lyk why there even was such a thing as life.. lyk who asked to have life.. and why was life lyk tt.. i mean.. oh pls.. who is enjoying life right now.. maybe there are some lars.. but definitely not me.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;well.. how many of u actually are able to relate to someone so fully and so totally that u feel as though u hv in tt sense poured out ur soul to tt person? very few i guess.. and its not lyk u hv the opportunity to do tt to everyone whom u know.. cos u might not trust tt person.. and everything.. yup..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;and how much emotions have u put into spending time wif tt someone? i dare say i put in everything tt i cld.. to u... but i tried too hard.. way too hard.. that i didn't know i was hurting u.. and im really sorry.. for hurting u.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;for the past 7 months.. of knowing each other.. yup.. i just hope that u do rmb 1 second of it.. at least 1.. other than that.. i think u shldn't be remembering anything else.. cos its not worth ur memory.. or lyk wat i hv always said.. ur memory space.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;it just hurts so much inside lors.. but yet.. i dun want it to be known.. or even the reason to be known.. cos dere's no point.. no one will understand me.. or the way i feel.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;funny isnt it.. exams are about to end yet im thinking this way.. ha. its just the screwed up part of me lars.. okay.. not anyone's fault.. so i guess.. all u ppl out dere.. shld just leave me alone..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

so after eating 1 piece of bread and drinking a cup of water.. i went back to bed.. did not wake up again until 9.30am.. dis time i guess the fever subsided liao le.. anywae.. my father gave me money to go see the doctor opp. my house.. and so after brushing up and changing, i dragged myself to the doctor.. was still feeling a bit giddy here and dere lors.. and a bit lethargic also.. anywae.. got myself in the queue.. and den i waited for lyk 45 minutes or smt.. and finally it was my turn.. and wow.. i got gastric flu lor.. lyk wat.. the virus going around and stuff liddat and i was lyk fine fine fine... just wanted to get out of that place, go back home and lie down on my bed lar.. wait for the medicine also took 10 minutes liddat.. got my MC for dat day.. and i dragged myself back

feeling in my head.. and it was so uncomfortable dat i think it could force me to kill myself lar.. maybe i shld have.. anywae.. stopped talking quite soon and i went to lie down on my bed again..

besides.. its not u who's the wan i let down.. but ur xiaomei.. and she has already forgiven me already.. why izzit so hard for us to start talking to me again? u know.. im very sad to see that whenever we walk past each other.. we just pretend that the other doesnt exist or we just totally ignore that person's presence.. honestly.. what will it take for u to start talking to me again? do u still remember the times where we sat beside each other.. we had so much fun comparing test marks.. and 1 subject which u were definitely lookingd forward to was chemistry.. i cld nvr win u in chem.. and we played chess too rmb? u were one of the few more challenging opponents that i met lars.. and den it has resulted in this...... i didn't want for it to happen either.. but yes.. i know.. its my fault.. will you forgive me?&lt;br /&gt;wat can possibly be the meaning of love? do any of u dare say that u fully understand the meaning of love? well... i all along thot tt it was just wat i was thinking about and nth else.. but at this period of time it just suddenly starts to tell me that i have been terribly wrong... it involves the other person too... and its not smt that can take place the way you want it to be but it has to be agreed on 2 people... nver in my entire life have i encountered such a situation before... im feeling so mixed up now.. confused... troubled.. rotten.. miserable.. and i can't just seem to get myself past all these stuff... and some actually do think that i have forgotten all about it? never have i expected any relationship to result in this way.. whereby im so confused and mixed up about how i am thinking and how the other party is thinking..&lt;br /&gt;do u think i ever wanted to end this? but honestly.. i cannot understand why u think that way abt relationships.. u say.. that relationships are temporary.. but then again.. u just said jus now that u didn't know wat u were saying.. perhaps i cld try to understand a little of wat u were trying to get across.. that no relationship wld last forever right.. and if we were to get back together again.. and some time in the near future break up again.. wouldnt it be more difficult for us to get back together again? u understand wat i mean ritex?&lt;br /&gt;u ask me.. why do i love u so much... nobody has asked me tt question before.. and its not smt that can be xplained that easily.. dats the whole idea about love isnt it.. its unexplainable..&lt;br /&gt;honestly.. deep down in my heart... i think be it steads or kor-xiaomei... it doesn really matter that much.. but wat matters alot is the amount of care and concern we show for each other.. these are just "titles"... wats impt is the amount of happiness we are able to give each other.. the sorrow that we share together.. that makes a relationship.. ANY KIND of relationship closer.. and stronger..&lt;br /&gt;i always hope to be there for u.. and i think that to be there for u as whichever person doesn matter ya.. its just the bond and the things tt we do tt makes us close.. be it friends or steads or kor-xiaomei.. let God decide alright? God will decide our future.. and he knows wat is best for us..&lt;br /&gt;i envy the way some ppl live their lives.. its lyk they are so comfortable and everythingy.. some are born wif a silver spoon in their mouth.. while others are reduced to the bones in other countries.. why can't the world be fair? why?&lt;br /&gt;haha...perhaps tt something that all of us dunno how to answer, cannot answer or not supposed to answer...&lt;br /&gt;meanwhile.. i have gotten the likes of carom into the blood that flow through my veins..playing lyk siao the past few days.. and seriously.. i think it has become a part of my life.. although it might be a very small part.. but its impt..for me.. yupps..&lt;br /&gt;to all my readers out there.. i hope u guys wun follow me and have a screwed up life lyk mine alright.. dun follow in my footsteps okay... yups.. signing off...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17995661-115410602989026524?l=aspire2achieve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aspire2achieve.blogspot.com/feeds/115410602989026524/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17995661&amp;postID=115410602989026524' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17995661/posts/default/115410602989026524'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17995661/posts/default/115410602989026524'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aspire2achieve.blogspot.com/2006/07/my-life.html' title='my life..'/><author><name>tim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10080647328901456645</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17995661.post-115235861997263928</id><published>2006-07-08T18:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-08T04:38:00.856-07:00</updated><title type='text'>no one understands how i feel...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;had my o level mother tongue oral on thurs.. although the topic was relatively easy compared to previous days.. i just somehow screwed it up.. well.. i just started talking the unimportant part of the topic and wanted to proceed on to the main part of the topic lars.. den the examiner just interrupted me and said "very good.. but we are referring to the relationship between the employer and the maid, not the benefits or bad points about hiring a maid".. in chinese of course.. but.. sighx.. wat to do.. minus marks lors.. sighx..&lt;br /&gt;friday had 2.4km run.. the actual thingy.. best part is run in school lors.. i so love dat.. cos i most of the time run in school de.. dun lyk to go all the way to the lagoon at east coast park to do.. somemore when u run on the lagoon right.. u can see the long long round around the lagoon dat u still hv to run lors.. so demoralising.. sch better.. for me lars.. dunno about others..&lt;br /&gt;anyway.. it is proven that it's indeed better for me.. cos i improved by 1 min just by running in sch! lyk wa sia lar.. dunno wat happened to me on friday also..maybe i just decided to whack all the way.. and cool mann.. nvr in my entire life had i dreamt of getting 10 mins plus.. it really seemed impossible for me to me.. but i achieved it! yea mann.. 10.37.. am proud of myself.. hahas.. =P&lt;br /&gt;though u guys might think my life's normal.. i somehow dunno why my life is like that.. ppl say that your life is controlled by u.. ur life is the way it is the way u want it to be.. yups.. i find thats true.. but i just somehow cannot control my life? its just the way it is.. commitments.. friends.. school.. who wouldn't wan to hv more friends right.. but of course not to an extend whereby u r more interested in making friends than ur school work..&lt;br /&gt;well.. i am aware that i broke ur trust in me.. but honestly speaking.. is it just gonna affect our friendship like this? hais.. i know.. its still becos i broke my promise right.. was tat an important test for me that i failed? or is it just becos u wanted to get back at ur kor? we shld never have any intention of taking revenge.. anyone of us.. in this world.. if there was revenge in this world.. when will there be world peace? well.. my point is.. i hv nvr wanted to hurt ur feelings this much kaes.. im sorry..&lt;br /&gt;one thing i can be happy about is that i hv begun a new friendship wif someone.. u noe hu u r bah.. well... all this months that we didnt talk.. it indeed was abit hard to adjust to at first.. i just simply had to get use to not talking to u... as time passed... my feelings just slowly died away.. slowly and quietly.. sighx.. but well.. but now.. im thankful that we can be friends again.. =)&lt;br /&gt;as for U.. yups u.. it is really God's will that we have met.. its God's plan bah.. thats what i choose to believe.. and thats what i believe... i really appreciate u for being here in my life.. for making that difference in my life.. got smt to tell u.. and that is.. i notice a change for the better in you.. and im very happy for u.. so keep up the good work alright? and make sure u stay close in your walk of life with God alright? jiayou!! =) however there are still some things to improve on.. i dunno.. perhaps its ur mood when i talk to u? or is it mine? i seldom vent my frustrations on u do i? i really am sorry if i m the cause of ur frustrations.. but u must let me know ur frustrations too right... sometimes u just do things ur way without thinking of how i might feel.... is this the way it shld be? i honestly tell u alright.. sometimes i just dun lyk the way u do things.. i hv always tried and let it be ur way... but wat do i get in return? not that i m expecting anything frm u.. i dun get anything in return.. im doing this not for myself but for you alright? if u can't show any appreciation.. how do u think i will feel.. i always say.. im unhappy nvm.. u happy can liao le.. right?&lt;br /&gt;perhaps u think i can still treat u much better.. u say.. im busy.. yes.. i m.. but do u think of how i might feel on my side? im coping both ways.. trying to balance my commitments and stuff.. aware of how much pressure i face? aware of how i feel? do u care? i hv tried my best.. to give u my best.. and if u r still not happy............. i hv failed my duty.... and im just not the guy that u r looking for okay..&lt;br /&gt;to everyone out there.. take care!! and make the best out of ur life..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;face&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17995661-115235861997263928?l=aspire2achieve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aspire2achieve.blogspot.com/feeds/115235861997263928/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17995661&amp;postID=115235861997263928' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17995661/posts/default/115235861997263928'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17995661/posts/default/115235861997263928'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aspire2achieve.blogspot.com/2006/07/no-one-understands-how-i-feel.html' title='no one understands how i feel...'/><author><name>tim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10080647328901456645</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17995661.post-115176942491054599</id><published>2006-07-01T23:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-01T08:59:22.810-07:00</updated><title type='text'>my life's in a mess</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;well.. have been really busy lately.. SYF opening ceremony was today in the afternoon.. everything went on smoothly.. at least our CI said we did a commendable job.. and im sure our contingent is thankful for that..&lt;br /&gt;in the middle of the parade.. wif the atmosphere and the songs that the choir were singing.. i just suddenly felt lyk i was going to break down in tears.. i seriously dunno why.. am i that emo? den all of a sudden my right eye started twitching so much.. it was so uncomfortable lars.. but after a while it stopped.. den i recalled.. either 1 of my eyes twitching wld mean smt major is gonna happen.. and it has been proven true countless of times.. so i chose to think that indeed smt was gonna happen to me.. after a few occasions and analysis on them, i concluded tat if my left eye twitched.. it wld mean tat something bad is gonna happen.. and if it was my right eye.. it meant tt smt gd was gonna happen.. jus tat i wldnt be able to know wat it is.. until i it really happens or when i find it out later..&lt;br /&gt;after the long standing and waiting.. it was finally our turn to march out of the parade ground.. everyone of us were so relieved that it was all over.. and some were even screaming lors.. ha..when we got back our bags.. i switched on my phone. and i received 2 smses.. both are from my xiaomei-s. apparently both of them were angry at me.. or unhappy wif me.. and it was jus after SYF.. my mood was getting high.. but upon reading the sms frm u.. my heart jus sank.. my mood was utterly crushed.. just wat did i do? tat u suddenly hav this intention.. i thot we were fine all along.. and now u just wanna split.. hv u thot of how i might feel? all the while i tried to make things ur way.. and all the while.. i hv controlled my feelings.. my emotions.. are u even aware of it?&lt;br /&gt;the main purpose of a relationship is for both parties to be able to keep each other happy in one other's company.. and if tt is not happening for u.. den wat is the point in carrying on? it will result in huge unhappiness .. and im sure tats not wat everyone wants in their life..&lt;br /&gt;im just in a huge mess.. im feeling so rotten.. so mixed.. so frustrated.. it's just so screwed up lars.. my life.. everything about it.. sometimes i just wish that i cld drop dead..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>why is all this happening to me?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;pooof.. one long day out of home todae.. sighx.. in the morning wake up kinda early.. hais.. actually considered late liao le.. reached sch at approx 8.30 and we started work on the anthem stairs again... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;well.. while painting over a new coat of paint.. we obviously didn't do a superb job.. we are not professional painters.. wat do u xpect?!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;and so.. we spilled some paint here and dere.. practically on every step all the way frm the first floor all the way to the fifth floor.. each step had some paint spilt on it lars.. and we had to use about 7 or 8 litres of thinner and turpentine to remove it.. the easier colour to remove was black lars.. pink and yellow arh..wahh.. mus lyk spend five minutes of 1 spot den can come out de.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;and seriously.. its not fun to do that at all... never had i done smt so crappy as that lars.. perhaps even washing the toilet is easier than that.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;and so we worked on the stairs all the way till 12.. whereby we went out of sch to bedok central to have our lunch.. actually me and xuanyi walked out first..den we noticed a few others walking out also.. so we had lunch together.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;had lunch at mac's.. discussed about world cup lors.. hahas.. i had fillet o fish student meal lors.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;and after that.. xuanyi walked wif me to bedok mrt station.. he topped up his card.. yup.. thankx xuanyi.. even though if it was for such a short journey.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;after which i took train (all by myself!) from bedok to boon lay.. sighx.. it was lyk super sian.. had to stand for the whole journey somemore.. but luckily when i met up wif my junior that time and when we took bus to home team academy we managed to get a seat on the bus lors.. thank God mann..if not my legs wouldn't have survived.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;and SYF training began.. the training was okay..but slightly tougher than the rest... sighx.. but they dismissed us at 7.30 lars... so freaking irritating.. den by the time we got to boon lay interchange was already 8 liao lors.. and i reached home at 9 plus.. finished dinner at around ten liddat lors.. yup.. and i have decided to come online.. such a busy day today mann! poof... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;heys.. im really sorry.. i really didnt mean for this kinda thing to happen.. but sometimes its just beyond my control..... im really sorry.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;some times.. things cannot be in ur control.. its lyk u have to do according to the result and according to plan.. mann.. i really dunno why my life is lyk this.. sighx.. will someone bring me out of the darkness? guide me out of the tunnel? please?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

will be one of the most challenging durations in sec3 life.. where we will be given leadership roles in our CCAs.. and im lyk stuck in between two serious choices.. and i hv yet to arrive at a conclusion.. and at this point in time, my mind is just filled with so much stuff that i think its just gonna explode ler.. i think my computer has reached its limit le lors.. as in im so frustrated

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;stress from prefects are settling in too.. head prefect elections are coming up and the seniors are not at all pleased wif the way that our

type='text'>stressed out.. miserable..</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;wahh.. quite some time that i never blog liao ler.. many people say that sec4 is the toughest year in ur secondary school life.. i beg to differ though.. although i have yet to experience sec4 yet, i dare say that sec3 might be tougher than that of sec4.. sec3 life is so much different compared to that of sec2.. there are so much more subjects to concentrate on unlike sec2.. and sec3 is also a year whereby we are given leadership roles in our respective CCAs.. for me.. this is gonna be a tiring period for me.. a frustrating one too.. there are just too many stuff on my mind.. and some stuff which i want to put behind me.. becos thinking back about it will trigger alot of my emotions.. and i just dun want that to happen.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;i m fully aware that what i did was wrong.. i've let some ppl down.. im sorry.. perhaps things have gone to a stage whereby it cannot be saved anymore.. even if it can be.. its no point as long as 1 person is unhappy... if only a few ppl out there knew wat i m experiencing now.. it wld be great to hav you to talk to.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;if u have done smt wrong, it will only be right if u feel guilty right? unless u dun hv a conscience.. but i believe everyone has one.. it only depends on how clear their conscience is.. and how many ppl can actually admit to their mistakes after committing them? they wld want to save their face.. or portray themselves as a good person in front of other people.. however, looks can be deceiving.. it is wats deep down in ur heart that tells wat kinda person you are.. but even so if u admit, u still can't hide from the fact that u did smt wrong.. however, the bible talks about repentance and u will be forgiven.... even so, i dun think i can forgive myself that easily.. becos i feel a deep sense a regret over wat i did... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;and this has also made a bad impression of me on some ppl.. but wat can i do now.. its lyk.. i cannot care too much about that liao ler.. cos i cannot do anything about it.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;sometimes i just feel so stupid.. i feel so stupid for admitting it.. for who will know if i keep mum about it.... only God does.. but my conscience was striking me... i felt so uneasy and uncomfortable inside.. sometimes i ask myself.. do i regret admitting it.. deep down... my answer is no.. becos i have admitted to my mistake a
