Its been such a long time since I could be bothered to post and update my blog, but just for today, I wanted to escape from reality again and slip into a world of my own. Time and reality is catching up far too fast to me, and somehow, I doubt I will escape from it unscathed. And then again, things and events that transpired daily have built up into a mountain of grievances and sorrows which I cant really get off my mind. Love, hate, annoyance, depression.. What terrible powers these feelings possess. If I were to be completely honest with myself, I'd say that even now, after a full 2 years, I still do love her. Its not like I cant or haven't moved on.. Its just that, no matter how much I move on or no matter how much I know that I've gotta let go, I still do love her. Its something thats insubstantial, thats irrelevant to the life I'm living now, and its something that I know is eating away at me inside out. And yet, its still there. Two years, countless tears and drowned sorrows have not changed the way my heart still skips a beat when I see her. And I must confess, for I have sinned, that I probably will never love anyone else such as I love her. Sometimes, I just wonder.. If I went away overseas and never came back, who would miss me or even remember me? If I died somehow, who would cry for me? Or perhaps, maybe the more direct question here is, if I died, would she care? My world used to revolve around her, and now that its lost its focal point, its lost its balance too. They always say, the first is the hardest. I see the truth in it now. Everyday I spend here adds on to my misery. Someday, I seriously hope to leave here and leave behind all the sad memories I have. Though no doubt I will never forget, perhaps I will be able to begin anew somewhere else. Perhaps I may yet, find my destiny in some place far away from here. I am tired. And each night as I ponder and mull over these events that have transpired in my life, I silently await the tears that never come. And as it has always been, no one else would ever know or understand.Thursday, February 18, 2010, 11:07 PM
Even though it is but a minor update tonight, I still cant resist penning down my thoughts for the day. Reflecting upon myself as the days passed by, I realized that I have become a much stronger person than I used to be. In the past, I was always indecisive, caught up in the past and indifferent to life. But I realized that I needed a set of principles to follow, to stay true to. At the core of these principles has always been to move on and not regret the actions that I have chosen. After all, life is indeed too short for regrets. The only way I'd ever get something done is to commit, and follow through all the way. I want to live a life where every new day can be a new page in my life. I dont want to stay entombed in a past life which I had long discarded away. And I needed dreams. Goals, visions in my life to keep me going, even through the tough and the difficult times. I wanna complete my education, make big money, migrate to another country and settle there, possibly permanently, have a happy family. I wanna travel around the world, live in posh hotels, gamble in Las Vegas. I wanna feel the sand under my feet in Hawaii, experience a nostalgic winter in America, sit under a pine tree with a book during autumn fall in Japan. And so, I had my set of principles. All I needed to do was to work on them, and follow them. Been pretty successful so far. Yea!My life is far from perfect, and it has so many ups and downs its pretty erratic, but its interesting and I enjoy it. And on top of it, I wont let it upset me. I will make every day of my life, a new page in my life story. Every day, is a new beginning. Peace. Tuesday, February 16, 2010, 11:09 PM
After an extremely long break from blogging, I'm finally back to post, though I dont think I will update frequently anymore. Blogging has just somewhat lost meaning for me. I think its because I no longer have any more thoughts that I need to pen down. Though, just for today, I guess I will make an effort to write something constructive. You know, I've come across this.. thinking earlier today. It probably applies to me as well. You see, I think that many guys and girls 'stead' or become boyfriends and girlfriends too fast. They havent really gotten to know each other well, and the relationship doesnt really last because theres lack of communication. This has probably happened to me like twice or thrice. Its not that we dont try, its simply because theres some pressure, as a couple, to connect, and in that, I guess we all try too hard. Its different as a friend, coz you dont feel any.. pressure. You can talk freely about anything with a friend of the opposite gender. But somehow, when you talk with a boyfriend/girlfriend you hardly know about, you'll find that its very difficult to start conversation indeed, unless you're a very extroverted kind of person. I'm pretty introverted, though I can hold a decent conversation if the opposite party can respond with smart, intellectual answers that arent simply one word answers.I guess lack of communication would be one of the main factors that actually end relationships badly. This is especially true for introverted people and for people who feel that they need to have a topic in mind in order to initiate conversation. And sometimes, for others, they simply try too hard or tense up. Around boyfriends/girlfriends, theres this.. pressure, that you put on yourself, this check, that you put on yourself intentionally to prevent yourself from screwing up and making a fool out of yourself. But you know, if theres absolutely no topic to start between the both of you, perhaps making a fool out of yourself might actually create SOME topics for conversation and debate, rather than just keeping silent and responding with like, one word answers when you think it looks/sounds cool but it actually is not, and it even makes the situation worse because the conversation ends as soon as it starts. It sucks. Well, and lastly, if you guys dont even have anything to talk about even after some really funny incidents or things, then my advice to you is probably to let go and go separate ways. No point in remaining when the ice is only going to solidify more. And so, my advice to any would-be couples reading this post (if you have a life as mundane as that to read my blog), dont rush headlong into your relationship. Dont go steady just yet. Spend some time getting to know each other. Talk, and communicate, and joke, and play around, until you're ABSOLUTELY sure that you have made the right choice, then by all means go ahead. You may even find that both of you were unsuited for each other to begin with after you get to know each other for awhile. Dont assume that you're meant for each other. It only causes more anguish and suffering when you find that in the end, you're incompatible and break up. And then, I would like to once again refresh my thoughts and memory by posting my thoughts on a topic that I've been asked frequently: the difference between LIKING someone and LOVING someone. How do I define like? Well, its all pretty simple to me. You see, like is a very shallow form of affection for someone. When you like someone, you tend to like him or her due to a certain quality he or she possesses. But when you like someone, usually you dont even know him or her fully deep down. There might be things that you like about him or her, and yet at the same time there may also be things that you dislike about him or her. Liking someone is sufficient to get you into a relationship, but its pretty much safe to assume that the relationship is just going to fall apart in time. The only question is how long. And next, how do I define love? This is abit more complicated. As I have mentioned before, when you like someone, it's just a very shallow form of affection. You may like someone due to certain qualities that he or she possesses and may dislike other qualities that the same person possesses. And yet, love on the other hand, is a selfless, devoted feeling that encompasses all. When you love someone, you dont just like one or two qualities of that person. You like EVERYTHING about that person. And you ACCEPT. Loving someone is about LIKING EVERYTHING about that someone and ACCEPTING that someone for who he or she is, no misconceptions. It doesnt matter if your boyfriend was an ex-criminal. It doesnt matter if your boyfriend works as a road sweeper. It doesnt matter that your girlfriend did drugs and is undergoing rehab. It doesnt matter that your girlfriend is a satanist. When you love someone, you LIKE AND ACCEPT EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM. Its as simple as that. Love is a confirmation, a certainty, an affirmation, that you like and accept everything about that person. Whatever he or she does, you would forgive him or her in the blink of an eye without even considering what you've suffered. You would give up everything if it meant that you and him/her could be together forever. You would rather die if you couldnt love him or her again. That is what I call, love. If you have never liked and accepted EVERYTHING about a person, you cant claim to love them. And here I shall conclude my lengthy post, goodnight- Sunday, January 3, 2010, 12:15 AM
Damn. Tired and pissed off at some damn games. Whenever I think about the fact that school is starting again, I feel kinda sad. And to make it worse, I have to go back to a school which I hate. Well, okay la, dislike. I have to say that I never liked CCKSS anyway. Cheapskate, old, traditional, goody-goody, stuck-up teachers like Patrine Tang and attitude problem teachers like Koh Kwee Hua.. Its a wonder CCKSS dont get shut down. I wouldnt mind going to school if my school had better facilities and nicer buildings. Even the color of the school buildings just sucks. I mean, green? Yuck. Honestly I wouldnt mind going to school if my school were not so cheapskate and all that shit, like Hwachong or River Valley. Its not even that I dont like studying. Its just that the teachers dont inspire me to study at all. Whats happened to the divine profession of teaching? Why do people with attitude problems and bias-ness teach in our schools today? Why do people who only know how to read off textbooks and know absolutely nothing about the outside world, teach in our schools today? Teachers who know nothing of inspiring their students, teachers who know nothing about caring about students, teachers who know absolutely NOTHING about being nice to students. And by students, I dont mean just 1 or 2. I mean ALL. Otherwise its just simple bias-ness. Gone are the days where teachers inspire students to reach for their dreams. Gone are the days when teachers and students would mix together after school and have fun, regardless of age gap. Gone are the days when teachers would invite students to their homes for a small celebration for scoring well for mid-terms or end-years. What is happening to our damn education system today? All I see today are people who dont have a PASSION for teaching, those who are content simply to print worksheets, mark them, and thats it. People who dont give a damn if you get an A1 or an F9 on your tests, as long as they get their pay. Whats happened to all those nice teachers? Whats happened to the passionate ones? The caring ones? The inspirational ones? Sometimes, students arent motivated to work hard because they dont know what they want in life yet. Is it not the role of the teacher to guide the student, and to lead them to find their goals in life then? Teaching is a divine profession.. To have someone without the passion to teach and yet being a teacher, is just ridiculous.Friday, January 1, 2010, 3:58 AM
Yet another new year, and again it brings back memories. Particularly memories of my Sec 1 year.. Well, I remember being excited and all about going to secondary school for the first time. Woke up super early just to be sure I would be early (not just on time, haha) so anyway, I did end up reaching alot earlier than I'm supposed to. Well, it wasnt very much different from primary school anyway, as I soon found out. Even the dismissal time was around the same. Well, I have to say I did not enjoy my Sec 1 and Sec 2 years because well, I dont like my class. 1/4 and 2/4, that is. For those of you in CCKSS, you will know that 1/4 and 2/4 last 2 years was supposedly the best class. But well, actually, I wouldnt mind admitting that our class is the best at being guai lan and attitude problems. Sure we got the grades, but yea, we all have some sort of attitude problem or other. Heh. I'm not gonna say any more. Those peeps who used to be in 1/4 and 2/4 should know who they are. Well, in other words, I did not enjoy years 2007 and 2008. Another reason I did not enjoy those 2 years was because of my unrequited love. Thinking back on it, I suppose maybe I was a tad bit too irritating. And maybe she didnt have any reason to love me. I mean, I'm not handsome. I'm not cute. I'm not sociable. I'm not funny or humorous. I'm not energetic and lively. I'm not good at popular sports like basketball or soccer. I'm not hyper. I'm not charming. I'm not good at my studies. I'm not in Higher Mother Tongue class. I'm not good at talking. Yea sure, I could understand that she didnt have a reason to like me. But then again, she never gave me a straight answer.. She allowed me to get my hopes up, only to dash them cruelly. It might have been easier on me if she had just given me a clean, straight answer right from the start.. Over the next few months I experienced total darkness. My heart bled fire and my mind twisted itself in agony. I could not cry; no tears came out. But my heart did cry.. And ever since then, my heart has died. I made up my mind that I would not allow such a trivial thing to hurt me anymore.. after all, it did not hurt her in the least bit. And I followed through with it. Perhaps the reason why I was so pained was perhaps because I knew right from the start that it was impossible for me. And yet I tried my best.. For a moment I thought I'd suceeded.. But I didnt. I know that neither of us were wrong. I did pursue her kinda heatedly.. blinded by love and conviction. And she, on the other hand, was in a state of perplexation and confusion.. How to turn him down, without causing major damage? And in thinking so, she might have thought that to drag it out and tell slowly, might be good. But thats not true for me.. Dont lengthen my torment by telling me to wait. If you never intended to accept me, then you should have just told me that there and then. And I would have given up on the spot. I wouldnt have gone through so much and tried so hard to make you happy and ended up damn unhappy myself. And I wouldnt have locked myself away since that night. But in spite of all that, I thank you. If I hadnt met you, perhaps I wouldnt be who I am today. I'm unsure of many things, but yet there is one thing I am sure of: Ever since that day, my heart has died along with the old me. I buried my heart so deep down that it could only ever be found by 1 person, and only 1. The only person who would bother to remove all those barriers.. layer by layer, to reach it. The only person, who fits all my requirements and understands me perfectly without me having to say a single word. The only person who can fully and completely see through me like a transparent sheet. The only person, to hold the key to my heart once more. The one whom is destined, and yet perhaps not yet found. And deep down, perhaps, just perhaps, I still did love her. Just a little.Thursday, December 31, 2009, 2:59 AM

Just felt like posting, for my mind was again in a whirl. Today I want to let out some of my thoughts on relationships. Well, one thing that came to my mind today that I felt was very true was that "Trust and respect are the foundations of all relationships". Without trust and respect for other people, there can be no further communication between two people. This is especially true in romantic relationships, where trust of your partner, whether temporary or lifetime partner, is extremely important, and its also very important to respect your partner's privacy and time alone, if he/she needs it. We often hear of "Trust" and "Respect" from our parents, and yet these qualities are seriously diminishing nowadays. Kids dont respect elders anymore. People on the streets hardly trust one another. It makes the whole "We are one country, one people" thing seem ironic and moronic. Next, wanted to let my thoughts out on worldly matters as well (again). Indeed, the world is not perfect, but if we could stop hating one another and start loving each other more, the world would definitely be a better place. If we stop complaining and start praising and appreciating instead, the world would definitely be a better place. If we stop lusting after the material and instead strive for the eternal in Heaven, the world would definitely be a better place. Think of me what you wish, I am but a simple idealist. Deep inside all of us humans, we have a barbaric nature, a beastial rage that is kept under check by civilization. This means that if there were no law and no ethics, and no education, people would simply kill each other without a reason to, and we would be no different from wild beasts. However, apart from that barbaric nature, that honed instinct to kill and rend flesh, we also have a pleasant nature which allows us to understand each other, to understand other animals. We have in us the capacity to destroy, but also the capacity to create, to love and to understand. Why then, do humans waste away that capacity to love, to create and to understand and allow themselves to be consumed by their barbaric nature? Why do people think that by committing acts of terrorism, others will submit to their cause? Terrorism and extremism are barbaric acts that dont reflect well on the civilized humans that we are. Blowing up people indiscriminately and mass-murdering the innocent, you call yourselves humans? I believe that no matter what religion we may follow, the practices, laws and morals are all the same. They all exist for the same reason: Ultimately, to guide us to become upright and honorable humans and to guide us to the eternal paradise (For believers) and to become better people in general (For non-believers). Thus, there is no such thing as "My religion is better than yours" or "I'm born European, so I'm superior to you, who is Asian". That kind of thinking is extremely naive, childish and foolish. There is no race which is better than another. Our bodies, no matter our skin colour or race, are all constructed the same way. Just because someone is Asian, doesnt mean that he will have one less liver than an American. Just because someone is African, doesnt mean that his brain will not function as well as a European. Its because there are people in this world who think that they are so superior to others in every way that conflict exists in this world which we live in. It is truly a sad and lamentable thing.Saturday, December 19, 2009, 9:46 PM
Only one word to describe my current feelings: BORED. Since theres only a little bit more to school re-open, I'm currently trying to go out and enjoy as much as possible.. Next year will be one of the toughest. Gonna have to live like a literal slave. Slave to education, mind you. Well, been using iPhone for a little less than a week now, and I gotta say, its awesome. HOWEVER, one of the things I'm dissatisfied about is the fact that you CANNOT use mp3s from iPod as a ringtone. Well, guess one of the people over at Apple learned how to potentially make more money by selling ringtones at Apple Store. Though, in a country like Singapore, most people wouldnt want to pay 2 USD for a song thats 30 seconds or less. I'd rather much make my own ringtones, and thats exactly what I've done. Not perfect, but good enough, I'd say. The whole process is pretty annoying actually, depending on how you want to make your ringtones. There are a variety of methods, google it if you are an iPhone user like me and want to make your own ringtones. Though I'm not writing a review for iPhone in any form whatsoever, if I were asked to rate iPhone after my one week's worth of usage of it, I would give iPhone a score of 8.5/10, based on its functions (Load web pages up to 2x faster than the standard iPhone 3g and iPod touch, voice control which allows you to call contacts simply by saying "Call" and then followed by the contact name, the ability to 'tether' iPhone to your computer, enabling it to go to the Internet as a secondary web-access device, auto-correction and auto-word suggestion when typing on the QWERTY keyboard which resizes to fit the screen whether you hold it upright or sideways, a GPS system that allows you to view your own location, input your desired location and receive instructions, which while not a new feature, is certainly helpful and unavailable in phones like Sony Ericsson, and includes a compass, so your iPhone can certainly do more than just help you to make calls and receives SMS-es). The design of iPhone is also rather attractive, and the weight and size are fairly comfortable. And since iPhone is equipped with so many functions, gone are the days where you needed to squeeze both a handphone and an MP3 player into one small pocket. Ever wanted to feel stylish? Important? Classy? Then the iPhone is just for you. Get yours today! (FYI I'm not an Apple Promoter, just wanted to highlight the good points about it)Thursday, December 17, 2009, 2:50 AM
A random update before I go to sleep.. So anyway, I was just reading this article about Ris Low. People are really flaming her like shit man. I mean yea sure, she doesnt speak good English and she doesnt have like, awesome 10/10 looks but theres no need to be mean either. I know some people think that because Ris Low made stupid comments on her interviews it would make foreigners think that ALL Singaporeans are stupid. Well, I just have this to say: If foreigners seriously judge ALL Singaporeans to be like that, then they are seriously shallow, cynical and narrow-minded. And even if Ris Low didnt exactly make a good debut, I think that she is quite courageous to try despite not having fantastic education and looks and the effort alone pays off.. Rather than people who dont even try and just like to criticize while seating their fat asses on the damn sofa. It aint easy being a public celebrity. Theres so much people have to say about public celebrities, and yet so little to say when it comes to themselves. We often hear the neighbours talking and gossiping about all the bad things of others, and yet with regards to themselves, not a single word is spoken. If you are one of those who criticize Ris Low and yet never want to take any criticism on your part, then YOU are the one who should go on TV, make a fool of yourself and get laughed at by the whole world. Personally, even I think that some of Ris Low's antics are quite ridiculous, namely the 'Boomz' and 'Shingz' thing, but at the very least I do not defame and flame her like mad, coz I know that humans aint perfect, and I am no fucking exception. So those of you who like to criticize, think twice before you do, you'll just look like a moron otherwise. Righto, I'm done with posting, goodnight.Tuesday, December 15, 2009, 12:20 AM
Back for a short update, though generally I have nothing to post about. Went for class outing at East Coast today, but a number of classmates were not present due to being overseas and yadda yadda. Most of the major partying was actually in the sea, where we played frisbee in the water. Had alot of fun pulling the girls underwater together with the rest of the guys, totally kickass, haha. We also carried Yusri and Mish and threw them into the water, woot. Then we buried Nisha in the sand, and the girls went to disturb by adding a twig 'dick' and made two breasts out of the sand dune and added two leaves for the nipples. Hahas, funny, but sick. So anyway, played in the sea for like 2 hours or so. Was supposed to go cycling, but as Mish, Louise and Valerie didnt know how to cycle (or did not want to, not sure which), we ended up not going and headed down to Burger King to take some group photos. Irfan looked like some Sicilian mafia boss coz of his shades and dressup. Hahas. Washed up at the toilets/shower stalls at East Coast, and I have to say that I'm glad my toilet is much much cleaner than that, phew. Took the bus back to CCK, and on the way the girls sang songs (Love Story, Taylor Swift > Bad Romance, Lady GaGa > Just Dance, Lady GaGa > You Belong With Me, Taylor Swift yadda yadda) and continued on the bus ride (which was about 1 hour++ or so) which was a nightmare for me (Mish, Louise, Nisha, Wen Xuan and Valerie singing at the top of their voices and I'm sitting right in front, argh!!) Even with earphones fully plugged and music volume at 80% I can STILL hear them. Was quite glad when I finally got off the bus. Overall, an enjoyable day, but abit disappointing coz 1) Not the whole class attended, and some didnt really join in the activities 2) Didnt go for cycling 3) Weng Kiat and Valerie had some sort of conflict which ended up in Valerie crying 4) Day was too short to play much, so yea. Hopefully next year we'll have this kind of outing again, but I'll be sad when I return to East Coast coz Mish is leaving us next year. Mish, we will miss ya, but no matter what we'll stay as a class forever. If not physically, then at least in spirit. We'll miss how you make us laugh and we (Eugene, Weng Kiat, Irfan, me etc.) will also miss disturbing you :D God bless ya, wherever you go, and 3/4 loves ya, hope us whole class will get re-united again someday, and when that happens we're so gonna toss you back into the sea again, so look forward to it :D Got pretty tired writing this post, guess I shall call it a night, cya peeps, peace out-Thursday, December 10, 2009, 8:36 PM
Sigh. Things really are pretty complicated down here. Have I caused more trouble for myself than I wished to? Maybe I have. Trying to go against the flow of things is tougher than I thought.. But my motto has always been to finish what I started. I dont like giving up, dont like losing. And I hate loser attitudes. Even though its a part of human nature, I hate being weak. More specifically, I hate myself being weak. I dont have the strength and the power to change anything. The power to change unhappy situations into happy ones.. What a desirable power indeed. Sometimes I wish for power desperately.. And yet having power may not necessarily make me happy. There are always pros and cons to power, and the cons are usually things that one would avoid, if possible. What a mundane world this is.Wednesday, December 9, 2009, 6:01 AM
Lost my touch and my inspiration to post.. haah. Anyway, went to listen to Lady GaGa's "Bad Romance", and to be honest I dont like it that much.. hmm. Liked Poker Face, Just Dance and Love Game way better, hahas. The video is a tad bit disturbing too, lol. Decided to do a post at this unearthly hour coz I had trouble falling asleep. Sigh. What a day. Iphone, here I come! |
