Prodigal.


What is this four-lettered word that has made us all lose our minds.
It always seemed to weaken the strong and falter our actions, what is this?

I woke up 6 in the morning, wide-eyed while peeking into the shadows of my covers. So afraid that i'll find myself losing the joy of my life. Scrambling out of bed with fingers crossed that you might be in the bathroom, i held such mighty hopes eventually finding out that you've gone over your league.


Leaving the dormitory of my bliss. What is this? Cold sweat broke out despite the scorching sun shining. I felt deserted. For the first time, i begin to revive the ill memories that somersault pass me like a strong breeze. My head begin to throb so hard, my lips swelled in paleness and then, I saw you again.

At the front, queuing for something else. Just how I met you the first time, the exasperated desire to jump in line while innocently leaning to catch a little glimpse. What is this?

What were you doing? Then a flash of light stormed it's way and made the crowds submerge to the corners of the room and vaporising them. It was just me and you, Again. My hand reached out to welcome you back but you carried yourself away in full speed on your heels.

"What is this?" I shouted faintly to the four walls.

I woke up, engulfing myself with fresh air. The morning sun was screaming it's way from the blinds, my forehead was dripping with beads of sweat. I hate it, another nightmare.

Those kinds where I'd wake up and have no clue what happened but I just know, something did happen.
And, it wasn't just a mere nothing.

What is this?

Mighty, Awesome, Wonderful.

I know i haven't been updating this already-dead "blog", that's why I am here right now?
Okay, so i know i have been snapping quite a few pictures from EMDD [Evening of Music, Dance and Drama] and have YET to upload it. So here it is?
Unfortunately, it is still uploading into my ScrapBook, so i shall begin typing some rubbish insignificant stuff first.

Emdd was amazing. Really.
It felt just like Choir camp, with the senior-ly laughters (AND THEY'LL BE LEAVING US!!), mmm-mmm chuckie chuckie, cam-whoring, listening to songs and getting all emo-ish and just going crazy?
I still remember when I was in sec 1, our holding rooms for choir was on the 4th floor in Victoria Theatre.
Can i just brag about how this year that we managed to get a bigger, cozier and less tiring place to wait?!
But we were suffering with saliva splashing everywhere: "SHHH! SHHHH!"

Apparently, we got the room nearest to the backstage.
So we were not allowed to make ANY noise at all, not a mutter, not a whisper. But of course, choir! WHERE CAN KEEP QUIET.
Yeah, imagine the amount of people who were making the pee-ing syndrome noise.
Muahahaha, i was a fine contributor too.

It was just super memorable. I love gala night.
And vanessa wee looked mighty mighty fine. After days and days of desperation, you still look super duper nice.
Idiot!

Would you be a dreamer for my dream?

For I am willing to be a dreamer of yours.


The shirt says it all.

(no subject)

Thank you for saving me, for pulling me out of my wilderness and capturing me into your embrace. For overwhelming me with your presence, in the moment where I felt most vulnerable, you'd make sure I was feeling better in a minute's time. Written all over my life, I see your name, i see it high above every name listed and felt secured that You also place me somewhere in your ever-forgiving heart.

You see through my wrongs and correct them and marked them as 'The Past' so I would not dwell on it. For you have erased my illness and renewed me to becoming a better person. It is your unconditional love that makes life spark.

God is moving, can you hear the sound of revival
Hallelujah

Ironic (Do not read if you think you cannot handle much anguish)

I want a life, with a perspective that is always flawless. Why? I don't know and even if i do accomplish in venting out on a stupid blog that nobody really reads (so, it's like I'm talking to myself. Weirdo) It's so incomplete. You know, the funny thing that you'll cry over a thousand and one thing for bullshit and smile for individual genuine happiness.

What the fuck. I bet my hormones are raging, i am feeling terribly happy meanwhile like a poseur sadist.

I see people breaking up. People throwing away their lives to run away for a mirage. Nothing can beat a dream. I hear people's muffled cries in their self claimed non-existent lives. And the bitches that ditch it should just sink their heads to drown. I taste revenge, hatred, discomfort. To live in this society, what society? Hell. Getting pulled in, getting disfigured by some lame ass that sticks their noses into your lives and than pulling it out once you've settled down with it.

GET A LIFE, DUDE. You think lives like us are ripped from a damn storybook? Hell no. "One can never forget love, there are others who can never forget the ones who killed their love." Damn it. I am speaking from a bitch perspective, like i-did-it-before-thing-i-know. And i feel bad. I feel sinned. Obviously, no water can wash away my guilt so i will suffocate it with angst. Whenever i read my memory, it was filled with opposites.

One moment, you're so sweet and the next, you're avoiding. For what? Is that part of a plan? A motive? A disgusting scheme to rip us up, to pull us away from that one moment where we could dream for something more than real life? Millions can speak for one, but one cannot speak for millions. Everybody leads a different life, meet different disgusting annoying think they all that females or truly low-down crap.

I really don't know. Is this the life you want? Is this the life i wanna be lead? To be one of those 'i will forever obey you, master' hoo-ha? I don't know. Seriously and i know i've been a serious damn it walking cursing idiot but i felt my life has changed a bit in trying to accept someone in my life. Someone i thought that wasn't all that or how i think mumbling ourselves comforting words to ensure he is there. I know i sound so ironic and stuff, but this was the past.

During the exams, i know. He was there and this is what good peer influence had lead me to become. Thank you. Usually, i am so afraid to lose myself. To know that i'll die before twenty or how i wanna be that strong not emotional character but i know i can't. Despite drugs or hypnotism or anything, it's up to me. "It's up to yourself to control yourself and not anybody else."

And i know, this is self reliance. Hell, i don't care if people are backstabbing me or plain spreading unbelievable talking. I just know, i'm not taking the bad road. Cause... I have the most precious, most amazing, most no more descriptive words can be placed for them in my lives. My family and my friends.

Okay, my blogging days are gotta stay mute for awhile. So this post was not supposed to vent anything?! But... Great. Okay. To sum it up.
Life been good. Feels like home, sweet

We're dying for attention

One moment, i want to let it all go. To not suffocate in such undistinguished reality, to just hide behind the dust and shadows of my bedroom. Crawling with fears and disappointment, we all had our deals.

Mine had it's due date, apparently. It just never seem to give up and die.

I have no clue what's taking over your world. I don't even wish to talk to you with eyes that burn with pride. Your mind's locked, you've raked something out of nothing. I wanted to go silent and joined the crowd in their murmurs. But it soon became so still, so clear. You were taking away that peace.

That joy.

I'm so uptight. My brain's exploding. I have never studied until i could feel the knowledge stabbing my veins, literal. I want to sleep, but my eyes won't give in. I want to take a break, but my heart's so unfeeling. This feeling, this emotion, what is it called?

Discomfort? Stress? Upset? Disgrace? Paranoia? Pathetic? Stupid?
But what i can sum: I am very, very, very tired.

May. 1st, 2007

What i see?

I see tragedy, upon the smiles that soon fade to enriched monstrous tears.
Why? Is there a need to pull apart their lives?
I would want them to be freed from your clutch, not in your prisonment.


The past few days had been fun. I don't know.
I feel a distance, hell. I hate it.
How could your smile like a clown (awesome use of simile) when an individual's in their worst of moods?
Maybe you never had a taste of life coming down at you. What a bitch.
And no, my life isn't ruined yet.

I have cute parents.
I have an annoying brother (And i know he cares for me sometimes :/)
I have a super darn shitty maid (We're family!)
I have friends too.

How on earth would my life ever be screwed? Oh, is it because of the LOVE category?
Well, i'd prefer being single.
Maybe it lessen my risks of having premarital sex *cough*

What a kill joy.

Apr. 27th, 2007

So darn beat.

If you wanna be so upfront about some stuffs, please do not sneak in the crowd and shout.
Cause baby, it's too childish.
Wanna talk? Come up to me, it's me who you wanna spit all those venom on.
Muahahaha.

I love today, playing in the rain and small celebration of crystal's birthday.
Maybe it wasn't the best but i wanted it to be better than last year's.
Ariane and Joey, i swear, your make me laugh really hard. Oh boy, did i love English today.
I've got a feeling i screwed it big time but i just know, i did it with my best effort and if i were to fail:
It's not the end of my life.

Yeahhhh! Chinese, i'm gonna kill you with my excellent caucasian speaking.
