This Is My 'December'
11.30.06 (9:40 pm) [edit]Today is Dec 1... *sigh* My last month with my family... So many things to do this month - driving test, medical checkup, visa application, pre-departure briefing, sleepover at my grandparents', drift (still not certain), dance lessons, Christmas, shopping for clothes and shoes...oh yeah, I almost forgot! Meet up with my best friend in KL... =) Can't wait!! This is just my schedule, my parents and my brother even have their own programme this month - everybody's gonna be busy. I think that's great, keeping yourself busy, keeps your mind reeling and getting rid of distractions.
It's been too long and I'm lost without you
What am I gonna do
Said I been needin' you
I'm wantin' you
Wonderin' if you're the same
and who's been with you
Is your heart still mine
I want to cry sometimes
I miss you
~ Aaliyah - I Miss You ~
My Driving Test
11.30.06 (9:15 pm) [edit]Just now I had my driving test, well, it was sorta like a pre-driving test. Not the real thing.
I did the circuit first. The hill was very good, but my S-parking was bad...the car bumper knocked one of the poles. Though the pole didn't topple, that is still considered a fail. So I failed the whole circuit test thingy. Then, I did my driving test. It was excellent! The best drive I had so far. =) Guess who my examiner was? Well, he's the boss of the driving institute. Fortunately I didn't know that till later, otherwise I would be trippin'. I asked my friend, he said his tester was one of the instructors there... I think having the boss as my tester was a blessing in disguise cos he gave me a PASS for my whole driving test! I don't know whether it was my excellent performance on the road that influenced his decision or was it my being attractive. Heheh... =p Ok, now I'm being so vain...hehe...but you never know...it usually works. Which reminds me, my cousin asked me to act cute in front of the tester, surely pass... =)
But it could be my mum... Last night my mum told me that if I fail my driving test, she would be really mad with my driving instructor. Cos I'm supposed to have driving lessons everyday, but this week I only had it twice! So my mum wasn't happy. I felt bad when I heard that cos I think my instructor is a good teacher; I understood what he taught me. It doesn't stop there, she even doesn't want my brother to learn from him. Whoa! That's quite drastic don't you think? I don't want that just because of me, his job is at stake! Well, that's my mum - she has the capability to make or break anybody. ...so I guess my instructor understood my mum enough to pull some strings and asking favors from the boss to give me a pass. Well, I hope I didn't get a pass because of that. I would rather it be based on my driving skills. How am I suppose to know my potential, my limits...if someone is always there protecting me?...
Thoughts on a 'Rainy' Day
11.29.06 (9:45 pm) [edit]I love looking at my blog. The falling snow never fails to mesmerize me. It's a pity that there's no snow in Auckland...I would love to feel the snow falling around me, just like the rain...hmm...it's raining outside... I realized three things can draw me out from my self-made cocoon - rain, snow and music. Rain and snow always bring out sad and painful memories. Music sometimes can too, if it's a sad song...but if it's a 'hot' song, heheh...I'd better not go there.
Which is why I'm growing to love my blog more and more, it feels so personal. My brother and I decided to each keep a diary, where we'll write everything that happens to us; all secrets revealed...and the next time we meet again, we'll both read each other's diary. I think it's a splendid idea since we're already each other's secret-keeper and we're not judging each other's actions. Which means, I won't write any extremely personal stuff in this blog anymore.
...It's sad right when a family has secrets, especially if they're dark ones. Or maybe if that secret involves the position of the family members in the eyes of society, or worse, their friends and associates. It just changes everything and nobody can be trusted cos you're afraid they might use you. And when they're done, they cast you aside. It's certainly very sad...because tendency is you'll feel insecure all the time; insecure about who you associate yourself with. This drives me nuts all the time...you want to tell somebody, but you just can't and in the end you keep it to yourself till it 'eats' your inner soul alive bit by bit, and you become a walking ghost.... Maybe that's why my brother becomes my secret-keeper or my walking diary, but pity him, I mean he has his own problems and I don't want to burden him with other problems; he's too young to carry the 'world' on his shoulder. Don't want the same thing to happen to him.
Everytime I go for drives with my family, I enjoy looking at houses and try to imagine the occupants in each houses...their lives, their problems...it's amazing how a house could shelter everything that happens in the house from the outside world. But once the occupants are out of the house, exposed to the world, everything changes...you have to conduct yourself well in public, behave according to your status. I don't believe in just being yourself in front of people, what abosolute crap! That only goes to a certain extent. Society's protocol always determines how we should act. And your actions often affects the rest of the family; it's society's tendency to make sweeping judgment.
So, I'm very sorry to my acquaintances who think I'm superficial / pretentious / fake / not trustworthy... I just have difficulty trusting people in handling who I am. But my family and close friends are exceptional - they could handle me pretty well and I thank them for accepting me as who I am. I'm sure you know who you are.
Thank you from the very bottom of my heart... And to my dear brother, a BIG HUG from me. Hehehe.... I just pray that nothing comes between us. Remember the story we created? I just hope it won't happen like that. I would rather it be based on our bond than on our duty towards our handlers. (Just in case you people are wondering what the hell am I saying here...don't bother. It's just a symbolic story my brother created.)

11.28.06 (6:48 pm) [edit]I'm hoping to insert music background to my blog but I don't know whether it's possible or not. I was thinking of putting the theme song from a Japanese anime "Witch Hunter Robin", titled "Half Pain"...if I could, then my blog would be perfect! Whoa! I really got nothing to do today...Hehe...
(none)
11.28.06 (6:39 pm) [edit]I've incorporated falling snow to my blog layout. I thought that the snow might match with the picture at the top. Now my layout is complete!
Changes
11.28.06 (6:36 pm) [edit]Past experiences have certainly changed my personalities. No more the innocent, naive girl I used to be for the past 19 years. I just realized it now. My taste of music has totally changed and my perception of things around me have also changed.
My First Taste of Alcohol
11.27.06 (7:00 pm) [edit]Ok, I've already change the layout, but the color I still maintain. Somehow black seems to reflect my emotions. And I've also changed the title of my blog.
I forgot to mention, 2 nights ago, I tried to drink the rice wine (belongs to my father). I was thinking why some people consume alcohol to forget their problems or miseries, so I tried it. I just managed to drink two mouthfuls. Urgh! The smell was so horrible!! First whiff of it, I nearly got choked. When it entered my mouth, I could feel the gas filling my mouth, then when I swallowed it, there was a burning sensation that fills my whole body. After the second gulp, I can't take it anymore, so I threw the rest away. Mind you, I wasn't drunk, I just don't like the taste! My worries didn't go away leh...hmm...maybe 2 gulps of alcohol is not enough to drown my sorrows. Heee.....
New Beginning?
11.27.06 (5:11 pm) [edit]I wanna change the layout for my blog and also the title before next year. A new beginning. And maybe less morbid? Hehe... That is, if all this while I'm writing morbid stuff. Hmm.... I still haven't decide what color I would choose...kinda like black already...
Bits of here and there
11.27.06 (5:04 pm) [edit]Last night I couldn't sleep again... So I secretly use the internet again. Hehe...
I feel that though I know the basics of driving, but I'm becoming more and more reckless. Like yesterday, my instructor brought me on the road...let me highlight my mistakes:
- going against the STOP sign
- sudden brake
- no signalling
If this persists and I fail my driving test, my mum will kick my butt for sure! Heehee... *sigh* But I feel so FREE when I'm behind the wheels. After I'm being commented by my instructor, I slowed down and drove very carefully until he himself fell asleep. Hehe...that's how smooth my driving is.
I can't wait to go back to 'school', I feel my brain is rotting away because of no proper info input. Heee...
Today my brother is sitting for his Additional Maths. I revised with him last night and I realised 'Whoa!', I've forgotten so many formulas and the methods of solving some questions. Geez...what have I learned all these years?? Just 'Poof!', gone like that!...in like how many months? SIX!! For goodness sake! I hope we're not taking Maths after this cos I don't notice any Maths subject in our timetable...
...sometimes I wonder whether pain will heal with the passing of time, whether we really get over it and move on...or are we just delaying the process of healing by not doing anything...
I LOVE blogging. Enables me to express my thoughts in words and keep me occupied. Stay in touch with the inner feelings...
My Own Quote
11.26.06 (8:35 pm) [edit]"We can never move on with our life. But what we can do is to exert in our work or throw ourselves in danger's path. It's either to forget the pain or to prove that we're not weak." - Audrie
My Driving
11.23.06 (3:38 pm) [edit]I'm going to have my driving test next week...well...it's more to a pre-driving test. Kinda scaryyy!! I think so far, my driving is ok. Though I do knock down poles (hehe...usually happens on my first round of driving), I believe I can do it. I just love climbing up the hill, it's quite adrenaline-pumping especially when I skid down the hill. Heheh... Yesterday, the car I used for my third and fourth round was quite lousy. Nice car but the handbrake is just too tough! I have to use both hands. Urgh! The first time it was ok, I managed to pull the handbrake, but to bring it down is tiring...I mean it was supposed to be one hand on the handbrake and the other hand control the steering wheel. So if both my hands are used on the handbrake, it's going to be really tough! Ok, like I said, first time round, I managed to do it...I skidded down the hill, I could feel the back wheels were smoking. Whoa! I get so excited and I've decided I LOVE cars. Absolutely LOVE them! I now have no phobias of driving... Cheers to me!
I just can't wait to drift with my brother at the beach. One thing I'd like to add: DON'T drift if there's no one experienced to teach you. It'll just kill you! My brother drifted before and he was willing to bring me spinning. WOHOO!!!!! Ah, of course I can't tell my parents...hehe...
My First Marriage Proposal
11.16.06 (8:00 pm) [edit]I can't believe I got a marriage proposal from someone very far away. And I turned him down. Hehe. I mean it's too fast, why is he rushing into marriage anyway? We've just known each other, then "WHAM!" Come to Egypt and marry me. And then he asked for my account number. What the hell? He wants to send me dowry is it?... When I turned down his proposal, he was pretty crushed. Well, I apologised but what else I'm supposed to say? I have other priorities. Before that, he asked to be my boyfriend and I said I would think about it. Not that I'm interested or anything, I just don't know how to say no. I thought the longer I delay, he would forget or something. Then 2 days later, he wants to marry me. What the hell?! ...
I couldn't sleep yesterday night, so many things on my mind. Not the marriage thing, it's just something else... Something I thought I'm over with, but it seems I'm not. I found out something very disturbing yesterday and I thought I feel crushed but I wasn't. I wasn't at all devastated, just angered, sad and all the mixed feelings. It just confuses me... confuses me... all the time...
...............
11.14.06 (6:19 pm) [edit]My brother and I plan to drift on the beach next month, after his exams and I'm sooo thrilled!!!
Now I'm working very hard to learn the basics in driving. Then, it'll be pushing the limits. Hehehe...
Blue
11.14.06 (6:13 pm) [edit]If it's wrong to tell the truth, what am I supposed to do...
All I wanna do, is speak my mind...
If it's wrong to do what's right, I'm prepared to testify...
If loving with all my heart's a crime...
Then I'm guilty...
I hate this!
11.13.06 (5:35 pm) [edit]My heart... chamber of secrets... the key is the essence... I hate what happened for the past two mornings... he definitely enjoyed it, but not me... it's really tough being an entertainer... I'm definitely not looking forward to going online... for fear of the same thing...
I can love with all of my heart baby,
I know I have so much to give,
With a PLAYER like you, I don't have a prayer...
everything's a game, only the best player wins...and I'm determine to be the BEST! THE BEST!!!!!! ...............
The Untold Secrets...Why Do Men Pay For Sex?
11.12.06 (3:47 pm) [edit]This is another article that I've read and I would like to share this with you guys...
The number fo men paying for sex has nearly doubled in a decade. Many men who engage in paid sex activities are married and claim to love their wives. Why then do so many men pay for sex?
THE FINDINGS
The study concluded that men who go to prostitute have different perspective in mind. These men can be categorised into separate group:
- A straightforward business-like way, with no emotional invovement with a sex worker
- To get involve emotionally with a sex worker
- To have "good sex"
- Like the convenience of sex without any commitments - physical pleasure without the responsibility of a relationship
- Companionship
- To relieve sexual frustration or sexual release
- To have fun and excitement
WHY DO THEY DO IT?
Physical Satisfaction
According to the survey, nearly 80 percent of men said they visited brothels due to a high sex drive, with the next most common response is a desire for sexual variety. In other words, some men go to prostitutes is purely a physical relief that paying for sex was LESS complicated than having sex with a partner while others say they don't have time for a genuine relationship and paying for sex is purely a business relationship - paying a woman for a sexual encounter with no complications at all!
Emotional Support For An Inadequacy
Psychologists found out that the socially-inept men go to prostitutes for sex because they know it's difficult to form a normal relationship with prostitutes. Generally, when men eventually go to prostitutes, it's because their relationships with their wife or partner has become a defacto. Or, men with difficulties in social interaction may escape into using prostitutes, rather than developing social skills. However, in effect, this can cost them a fortune, spending all their money to support an inadequacy within themselves.
Liberal Attitudes
In today's world, there has been a more liberal attitude towards commercial sex and increasing commercialisation of sex such as magazines are bombarded with images. Many men are meeting new partners abroad, on the Internet and cheaper international travel means people had more opportunities to buy and sell sex. Therefore, experts warn that if people are going to countries where prostitution is legalised with easy access to paid sex, they ought to bear in mind of possible risks - issue such as sexually transmitted diseases.
Addicted To Sex?
Sure, some men need to satisfy their urge for HIGH SEXUAL DESIRE almost daily! Men who go to prostitutes range from all social classes. Once it becomes a full-blown addiction, most want it to stop but feel they can't have control over it! Most men would think that if they are getting satisfied somewhere else, they don't have to be intimate with their own partner because they aren't good at intimacy.
Like any addiction, the motivation behind it can become muddied, just as heroin addicts develop a love for the ritual-like needle preparation! Most prostitution addicts are often more excited by the planning than they are by the sex act itself. The sex itself actually doesn't do much for them. It's the planning and preparation - the selecting of brothel, the drive to that building, the selection of girls - it's the anticipation.
Putting Down The Masks
The study concluded to the demonstrating that men go for paid sex not only for sexual activities that their partner does not provide, but also to fulfill certain psychological needs, such as the need for intimacy and excitement. This specific group of men should be the target of health promotion campaigns, regular health check-ups and screening initiatives. Meanwhile, the 2006 Men's Health Forum advised the public to target men in general, starting with school-based sex education and mass media campaigns.
Are You A Sex Goddess?
11.09.06 (10:27 pm) [edit]This is an article I read and which I find very interesting...
You've Got the Right Attitude
In the 1970s, famous sexologists Master and Johnson discovered that sexual pleasure involves the brain as much as the body. They proclaimed sex as "psychophysiological ", which basically means that if you've got the right attitude, the physical rewards will be substantial. So, what is required to reach the climax of sexual satisfaction? There are three main traits: KNOWLEDGE (a solid understanding of how your body and your partner's body work), EXPERIENCE (practice makes perfect) and an OPEN MIND (the ability to let go of inhibitions, not judge and not worry about what you look like). And of those three, maintaining an open mind is the most crucial.
You Play Games
Sex is supposed to be fun - and games aren't just for children. The more playful you are in bed, the higher you'll be rated. If this is not you, learn from your neighbour's sexy wife: Loosen up a little, laugh a lot, drop the inhibitors and let your imagination run wild.
You Make the First Move As Often As Possible
One of the most common male complaints is "SHE NEVER INITIATES SEX". If you always wait for your partner to instigate sex, you're seriously missing out. Initiating sex when you don't usually do so can unzip even the most sluggish of libidos. Your partner will be caught pleasantly off-guard, and you'll get a buzz from taking the power position.
You Keep Your Genitals Fit
A six-pack might be sexy, but far more impressive are tight PC muscles. Regular kegel exercises or also known as vaginal squeeze exercises (repetitively squeezing the muscle you use to cut off the flow of urine), makes virtually any sex position heaven for him - and for you! After all, the tighter your vagina, the more sensation you'll feel as well.
Your Foreplay Lasts Twice As Long As Intercourse
It's not just women who love foreplay - men love it, too! If you've stopped thinking of intercourse as "sex" and foreplay as the stuff you do before intercourse, pat yourself on the back. You've recognised that intercourse doesn't have to end when that part of it is over. Hands and tongues are far more dextrous that an erect penis and are just as useful for producing pleasure.
You Put In the Effort
A good lover accepts that just as our bodies and faces age over time, needing more work to keep them looking good, so do our sex and love lives. We all tend toward the presumption that good sex magically "just happens" but that's not even close to the case. Being a good lover means do whatever it takes to stay interested in each other.
You Laugh Off Any Embarrassments
Sex is smelly, noisy, sweaty and unflattering. And if you've never done anything in bed that caused you the slightest bit of embarrassment, you win the award to 'The World's Most Boring Lover'. The World's Best Lover had had semen in her hair, broken wind at the worst possible moment, and fallen on her face with her knickers around her ankles. If your reaction to any of these things is "Who cares, the sex is worth it!", you've got the right idea.
You Say "No" Without Feeling Guilty
A great lover knows it's okay to not have - or even want - sex all the time. Forget the movies; everyone's libido waxes and wanes based on hormones, stress levels, children and health. Most men would prefer you to say "no" rather than begrudgingly perform on demand. And the unpredictability of occasionally saying "no" could actually make your sex life more exciting, because the minute sex becoumes automatic, you lose the thrill of it. So, how to say "no" without offending? Don't say no, say something like, "Let's wait until weekend so we don't have to rush and can really enjoy it".
You Speak Up
Mouth are not just for kissing; they are for telling each other what turns you on and what doesn't. Just keep your suggestions positive. And if you're feeling especially brave, ask him to open up first. Would he like more or less pressure when you're touching him? Which technique feels best? He'll be flattered you're interested in learning what excites him - and more inclined to ask you where he can improve.

11.09.06 (9:54 pm) [edit]Everybody faces problems in their lives. The only difference is the impact the crisis has on us and how we deal with it. Those who are used to live a fairly comfortable life might easily be crushed by major crisis, but those who always have problems in their lives, one crisis after another, might be numbed by them, thinking that it is something common. What is life without a few 'excitements'?...
And I'm the latter. Everyday I face my personal problems, family problems etc. head-on (just like the picture below). Speaking based on my own experiences, problems do not come only to 'good' people, EVERYONE is affected. And living in the last days, this is something to be expected. The problems I faced in my own life always seem to feel like those in the movies; I've never thought I myself would one day encounter something that similar. 'Problems', if seen on its on, is something negative, but we could change it to be something positive. 'Positive problems' can help you to toughen up mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
So to those out there who are experiencing problems, DO NOT be disheartened. If you could solve it, that would be great. But not all problems can be totally solved, so usually TIME helps.

Sleeping awake and awake when I'm sleeping
I've gotta dry kinda thirst when drenched
On sunny days all I can see is a shadow
and I'm not above being under
And I'm at the brink though I know that I'm empty
and I always hide when its my turn to seek
my only believe is not to have faith in believing
before I begin I'm over
(chorus)
Broken off again
and I'm only not lonely when I'm lonely by myself
Numb in pain again I always back track forward
cuz all I know I'm Disconnected
Quietly loud while I'm noisily silent
keep holding my breath when I'm trying to breath
swimming against all of the waves and the rapids
I only win when I'm losing
(Chorus)
I just wanna live my life sedated
Cuz I love driving myself away
Dysfunctionally sane don't give a damn
I cant comprehend what I understand
Disconnected
Itsy-bitsy...
11.08.06 (8:43 pm) [edit]I just came back from my driving lessons, as usual.... My driving instructor said that I still have to work on climbing the hill and how to turn into the junction. I forgot to mention, yesterday, I almost knocked a dog, scared me to death. I wanted to brake actually, but somehow my foot stepped on the wrong pedal. Instead, I was rushing for it! Sheeesh... Already that dog is sooo skinny and sooo weak, and I, wanted to end that dog's life. Aih... Anyways, my driving lessons just now was ok and I enjoyed it.
Fortunately I came back in time to collect the clothes cos it's raining now.
Yesterday was a shocking day for 3/4 of my family. My brother, the black sheep of this family caused problem again. And just 2 weeks before his SPM. *sigh* I don't know when will he learn. Well, I just hope that the incident yesterday taught him a lesson. And he will start to revise and take his studies seriously. My dad still doesn't know, if he knows....I dare not think what he will do....
Ok, gotta go. Need to iron the clothes before my mum comes back. Ciao! 
A clear head
11.07.06 (10:18 pm) [edit]I just came back from my driving lessons and I feel GREAT!!! I've never felt so free before... Today my head is clear and I can concentrate better.
Just now I practiced in the circuit, climbing up the man-made hill. It was totally awesome! And I can release the clutch and press the oil with ease, though there's still a bit of hesitancy there.
By the way, I've deleted at least 80% of the memory. Platonic. 
Reminiscing...
11.07.06 (6:17 pm) [edit]Being 20 has bring lots of changes to my life. I don't know what to expect and because of that I'm afraid of what I would turn out to be... What I'm most afraid is that I couldn't pick myself up again if ever I fall. *sigh* I just don't know... I guess I'll just have to wait and see...
Been having a heart to heart talk with my mom lately, talking about her experiences. I'm trying to gain as much insight as possible so that I could avoid any uncalled for problems. Or to learn from her experiences. After I leave this place, I would be on my own, fending for myself, dealing with life on my own. I just hope I learn enough to equip myself...
...I'm going to really miss my family once I'm gone. This reminds me of what my mom said about not missing me since they're going to be very busy with the new house. Hmm, maybe it's good also if my going away doesn't affect much. At least, we could all carry on with our life without having to think whether the other is doing ok. Plus, how could we miss each other when we're going to contact each other everyday.
It's like I'm never gone.
Well, let's recap. What have I been doing during the holidays? Hmm... Unlike my friends, I don't work. The main purpose is actually to prepare my brother for his important exams, but looks like he doesn't need my help. But this doesn't stop me from learning. I learned the value of marriage, the importance of a family, trust, loyalty, sacrifices, independence, womanhood, love, friendship, endurance, and last of all, I learn how to drive. Even with all these, I still think it's not enough. I mean, after going to university, graduate, I'm already bonded to work for 5 years. So this doesn't give my much time to bond with my family. Maybe the next time when I could really talk to my family would be when I'm 30! Aah, 10 years just fly like that. And my brother, I would totally miss him. When we were still kids, I still remember fighting with him ever so often, verbally and physically. Ehehe... But now, when we've both matured, we become the best of pals. I feel that there's just not enough time. Time, time, time...it's always what I've always complain about. I always wish time could stay still, so that we could breathe the air of eternity. But I guess, 24 hours is more than enough. It makes us appreciate more the time we have with our loved ones. (chuckles) Sometimes, I imagine that maybe when I come back from NZ, my brother already has a wife. I mean why not? Cos by the time I come back, I would be 24, and he would be 21. Hmm, maybe not. Maybe he would marry after I finish my bond with my sponsor...I would be 29, and he would be 26. Well, it is possible. Then the time we had together would remain as a pleasant memory, to which we go back to when we're alone, thinking, reminiscing... I mean, he would be busy with his flame. Hehe... *sigh* Life...
Speaking of life, I've learnt a lot during my teenage years. More than what I bargain for, and I'm thankful for that cos the pain and hardship of life has made me stronger, and I feel that I've matured beyond my age, though I still look like a kid. Speaking of looking like a kid, many people I've come in contact with thought that I'm 14 or 15, never 20. Worse still if my brother is with me cos he would be my older brother while I'm the younger sibling. I don't mind of course, I just feel awkward. That means people won't take me seriously. Hahah...

11.07.06 (5:42 pm) [edit]Britney Spears - Born To Make You Happy Lyrics
I'm sitting here alone up in my room
And thinking about the times that we've been through (oh my love)
I'm looking at a picture in my hand
Trying my best to understand
I really want to know what we did wrong
With a love that felt so strong
If only you were here tonight
I know that we could make it right
[CHORUS:]
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy
'Cause you're the only one within my heart
I was born to make you happy
Always and forever you and me
That's the way our life should be
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy
I know I've been a fool since you've been gone
I'd better give it up and carry on (oh my love)
'Cause living in a dream of you and me
Is not the way my life should be
I don't want to cry a tear for you
So forgive me if I do
If only you were here tonight
I know that we could make it right
[Repeat CHORUS]
I'd do anything, I'd give you my world
I'd wait forever, to be your girl
Just call out my name, and I will be there
Just to show you how much I care
[Repeat CHORUS]
No comment. Everything's in the song.
My Thoughts
11.07.06 (5:34 pm) [edit]I'm dying to write something, but I just don't have any ideas....
Now it's almost towards the end of year 2006. The days passed by ever so fast, soon I would be going back to school. No more 'partying'...hehe... Oh well, if not start now, when else?...
I've just received the timetable for my new semester. I'm quite eager to learn something new...can't wait to go to Langkawi and after that, New Zealand. Next year would be a new experience for me... I've decided that my new year's resolution is NOT to make any new year's resolution. Hehe... I just want to take things at my own pace, no specific goals; just go with the flow...
Isn't It a Wonder
as a newborn baby cries
And isn't it a wonder
with the sweetness in my eyes
and isn't it a wonder
at the crossroads of my life
Isn't it a wonder?
Isn't it a wonder, to me?
That I can see, a change in me
But I won't look back
Cos that's behind me
And after all
Strong words are spoken
My heart will never be, never be
Never be broken...

Aihh...boring day...
11.05.06 (8:35 pm) [edit]I realised I always need somebody who is capable of stimulating my thinking faculty, to talk to. Otherwise, I would feel my brain rotting away. I mean, since it's the holidays, there's no proper study going on. so no proper information enters my head. I'm looking forward to go back to school, yet I hate this holidays to end. Aih, I feel the days slipping my fingers faster and faster like water.
This past few days had been quite an experience for me...but it's a secret, so I can't put down in this blog. Not even my family knows, especially my brother, with whom I always share my secrets with.
In Loving Memory
11.05.06 (2:44 am) [edit]I just came back from my second cousin's funeral. His name: Edward Jalong Bilong, aged 22. I've never met him my whole life, so just now was my first and my last to see him (the second dead person I've seen after my great-grandfather). I remembered feeling quite dizzy after looking at him. One thing I remembered, his face looked so calm...innocent...
After a visit to his parents' house, my family and I went to the cemetery to bury him. The service was a heartbreaking one. After the usual prayers, speeches and the gospel songs, the deceased's friends were asked to approach the coffin to have one last look of him, then it was his relatives... I walked up to his coffin, and I just looked down at him. I just don't know what to say to him, to a cousin whom I don't even know. But before that, I remembered thinking,....I know that Edward is a faithful person and I know that God will resurrect him even though he doesn't know the Truth... After his relatives paid their last respect, it was his family's turn. Here, it was very heart wrenching to hear their cries and their moaning...my eyes welled up with tears...
Driving lessons
11.02.06 (11:05 pm) [edit]I had my driving lessons yesterday and today. Yesterday was fine but today, my standards drop. My mind wasn't there, I guess I'm still emotionally shaken by what happened this morning. I feel very disturbed, yet I know if I don't face it now, I'll bound to face it later. I just wish it doesn't have to be like that...........
My decision
11.02.06 (7:12 am) [edit]Have you ever felt that when you thought you were in love with someone or have a crush on someone or maybe like someone very much, then you take a step back and listen to your heart, then you realise: "Hey, I don't like him after all!" Well, that's kind of how I felt. Being 20 is certainly weird. I don't have to jump into relationships if I'm not ready, trying to be an adult, but then I'm actually 'playing' adult. I vow to take my time; take things one at a time and do not rush it. So, I've resolved to forget about him and to move on.
Maybe next time...ciao!
Dilemma...
11.02.06 (4:12 am) [edit]How do you know a guy really likes you and not just playing with you?...It's hard to say since most guys (if not all) think with the other head.
