A beautiful day to be enjoying the pool after two consecutive days of alcohol and poison. Why do we all like to get the high sometimes when we know they ate bad for you ? Why do we wAnt to try things which we know ain't good for you? I think it's the feeling we all seek for when we just want to run away from certain stuff. I am here to rest and tale a break from my wasted nights .

Ashtray Heart..

 I'm dedicating this song to myself. It sounds pretty much how I feel right now.. 

You know how a day is made to bring you down but you do everything you can to make it good? Its tiring ..

Woke up to listening to my mum's complains over how I do not care about her when I don't even know she's sick.. I took it.. I listened.. I understood.. its menopause...

Called My brother to inform about my mum's situation, felt so much better after that.He told me to start dating..

Called Ling to have an awesome conversation.Building the context mustering up the courage to take the first step. I smsed.

Michelle replied asking me who am I. I replied it well to find out how she lost her phone but still remembers me.

Texted Elsie for dinner hang out , got to realise i need tags and stuff on 31st.

Texted Nygin for date, awesome response

Replied Best Friend for date, awesome response

Wanted to clear some stuff with Yan Ru via date.. failed miserably.

Received Phone call from Damien, informed that Christine Ong Passed away...damn...but theres really nothing i can do..

Stunningly great convo with Ethel via Skype. Made my day again.

There is a difference between fronting, and being geniune.. Maybe I have been confused between the two. Eitherways, its a pretty stagnant day today. The only reason why I will put on a smily face today is that I have to still function at 100% ... even against all odds.To truly smile and say hey its power.

Ending off with some random thoughts...

You can only feel hurt when you actually love somebody. You can only feel numb when you give up feeling. So Its good news for me! Said he said all.. said he said all.. said he said all.. said he said all...

Merry Christmas

A series of events that led to a far more meaningful evening started with $72 for a jug of poison. 


Gwen was asking me to try the Butter Ice Tea and I was stunned when the bill amounted to $72. After having that drink, I couldn't enjoy my usual whiskey dry like how it should be. Having standing there aimlessly for half an hour, i figured I am better off bouncing back home since I wasn't feeling the vibe. "I am making a move.. take care of the girls.." and poof I left. 

I woke up feeling rather incomplete with the night before, I wished I was there to enjoy the night but I guessed whatever I did was necessary too. Making up for it, my friends were nice enough to come by and have an impromptu cycling trip. Which is quite pleasant for a change. I am thankful to have such great company. I wished we have done all these much earlier and hope by hanging out, we would all have a better relationship. Its one of the biggest mystery in my opinion though.. "What would I be doing if I do not have any friends? A solitary life without any friends is indeed something to fear."

I've grown so much over the past week. Perhaps it would be wiser for me to take a step back and start seeing the bigger picture in life and my friends. Everyone wants what is best for themselves. Everyone wants to have fun. I feel disempowered several times in a day and to function at 100% is indeed a big challenge. I find myself being less and less productive as the days goes by and nothing fruitful is coming out. 

Still, its nice to know that at the end of it all, you have a huge force of friends who are willing to sacrifice their time to be cycling with you in the middle of the night, picking a fairly brand new Aleola bike from the ditch, fixing the chains, riding it back to your place with you , restoring the bike, take a shower at ya place, go and eat teo chew porridge, send the bike back to Yan Ru's place, have your best friend driving ya back.. sometimes, certain things is mutual.. but sometimes, we all should take more initiative in addressing the various concerns of every single individuals. Of late, I failed to do that and I will work on that too..

While I am still alive.. I will strive to be better and not let the little things get in my way. I am just thankful that i get to sleep and wake up the next day as of now..I love you world. I am turning to the universe now and asking for forgiveness and enlightenment for what i was being to others .. causing pain and worry and stuff.. I am asking for strength and will power to be a better being.. I am asking for love.. a love that I should be receiving a long long time ago..  give me the power.. to empower others.. 

Merry christmas.. Its the season of giving and I have given everything i knew to give to the people around me.

Hold me, Thrill Me, Kiss me.......... Kill me.

Sunday Report.

I was sitting in the Cash Studios and seriously, I thought to myself, how the hell did I end up here.. the conclusion was simply an unknown, but we're just living the moment nonetheless.. Thank you all for the great time. You all have unleashed the kid in me. I wonder to myself sometimes, 5 years down the road, will you all be still like that :) As hyperactive, 10 times excited, fully self expressed and stuff. Its along the way we learnt more about ourselves and you all have definitely been a reflection for myself.
