Draw the Lines Clear

An upsetting episode happened late last night and i was the the cause of it. It pained me to know that i've hurt someone. Never did i expect such a reaction from him. Maybe it's time to set things straight and draw the line.
To the party in concern:
I do appreciate all the little things you had done for me this past month or so. It's comforting to know that someone out there is so concerned about me. I'm touched by that. However, it's time to clear the air and draw the line.
The tears i've caused you to shed, the heartaches i've caused you to feel... i feel upset for causing you such undue hurt. Most of the time, friends will always remain as friends. Your liking for me can't be reciprocrated and i'm sorry about that. I've told you time and again not to fall too deeply into it but you slipped further and further. I can only accept you as a friend and that's about it. I don't wish you to wait for me for 2 long years while carrying on the false hope of being together with me some day. Because i know we will never be. This may be hurting to hear but it's better that i make myself clear now than you falling even deeper and feel the impact of it all at the end of 2 years.
You are a nice guy and will find yourself someone more suitable. I'm not the one for you. It's better if we just remain as friends. No hard feelings...

Tennis Tennis Tennis~!

Early this morning, i set off to school for my tennis training, only to be told that coach was not informed of training today. =.= Since i was already at the courts, i rallied with my good pals and played matches. Performed poorly today, screwing up all the matches.
3 hours under the blazing sun left me dehydrated, hungry and burnt. After washing up, i took a bus with the guys to West Mall for lunch. Settling down in Burger King, i had my favourite Jr. Whopper meal. Yums~! Claiming that it was raining so heavily outside, the guys didn't allow me to leave. So, we baked our seats in Burger King, crapping for an hour or so. Then they decided to roam around the shopping mall.
We ended up in E-Zone, an arcade. It was freaking cold inside, causing me to sniff non-stop. I was urged on by the guys to try out the car racing game. I took up the challenge and came in second among all of them. Pure luck i guess. Haha.. They were too busy changing gears and making the cars drift while i was just concentrating on steering my car on the tracks.
Soon, we were out of the freezing arcade and made our way home. Just as i hopped onto the bus home, Dave called. Geez.. I was asked to collect some stuff from him. Hurriedly, i rushed home to take my bath and left soon after. Met up with him, collected the stuff he passed to me and i was heading for home once again.
Just had my dinner and i'm totally shagged. Shall have a good night's rest later... That's all for now.

Party and Chingay in Orchard

I had another early morning, heading down to Bugis at 7am to pray. Since mummy didn't want Bel to attend the make-up tuition class at 12pm, the alternative was 10am. Therefore, we took a cab down and within half an hour, we were done. Geez.. it was only 8.15am then. In order to waste some time, we took the train to Khatib, ate breakfast in Mac and shopped awhile in NTUC before sending Bel for her tuition.
Back home, rested for a short while before heading out to fetch the maplers. Since darling lost her way to Yishun, an hour was spent at Yishun mrt station, lingering around and chatting. By the time all of us reached my place, it was pretty late. Had yummilicious pizza and soon after, it was time to head down to New Cathay for our movie.
Entered the cinema 10 mins late and had to catch the show without a beginning. Epic movie was hilarious. The entire show was made up of many different characters from the countless movies screened. The storyline was simple to comprehend and it was a lighthearted show. But it's those watch-it-once-and-never-will-catch-it-again kind of show. [That's for me, at least.]
Walked over to PS and spent some time deciding on our choice of restaurant for dinner. Finally, we settled with Fish Market. The food was pretty tasty. Gor's Baked Fish with Garden Herbs was special. If only mummy can cook it, yums~. Kin Chin and I had some King Norwegian Salmon thingy which tasted pretty normal to me. Tere and Rachel had Fish and Chips, while small Daniel and Eric had Salmon with Cajun Sauce thingy. Den had some Alaska Fish thingy. Fortunately, Tere made one merlion shot only. And she murdered her fish. Poor fish. Lol.
After dinner, we walked on the streets and alas, there was the Chingay Parade going on. Weee~ my first time catching it live. It was hard to get a good view since many had already occupied the front spaces. I was left tip-toeing most of the time. For once, being tall is definitely an advantage. Just look at Gor standing so comfortably at a spot and watching it, made me envy him. Grrrrr...
The parade was very fanciful. And it's internationalised? I didn't know that. Performers from all over the world took part in the float. It was a pleasant sight to view the different colours walking past.
Then came partying time! Woo hoo~ Fancy me partying on the streets of Orchard for the first time. It was definitely an experience worth remembering. Dancing with Gor, Eric, Tere, Daniel and Rachel, we grooved and jumped to the beats of the retro songs blasting outside Ngee Ann City. Whahaha~ it was such fun. Though the atmosphere wasn't at its peak, it was pretty cool to join in and let loose. The human chain was formed and it broke many times. Lol. Gave up eventually and carry on dancing after some rest. Just sweat it all out. Weeee~! Simply fantastic.
By that time, it was 11 plus. Gotta head home before mummy nags. Fabulous day out! =))

Day out with the gals

I started off the day with an early morning, accompanying mummy to the market. Several hours later, i was on my way to meet the gals.
So coincidentally, baoyi and elaine took the same train aboarding at the same spot as me towards Dhoby Ghaut mrt station. As we were delayed due to a problem in the train, we reached there late. Caught up with stephie and shermal to take lunch.
Since Secret Recipes was too crowded, we decided on Ajisen Ramen. I took the set meal with a choice of ramen, side dish and drink. Holy cow... the volcano ramen rocked my tongue. Spiced me till my nose flowed like a tap. Elaine had the same set as me and she was downing her glass of ice lemon tea as she ate. Lol.
Afterwhich, stephie left us for her piano lesson and we headed on to Lido to catch Dreamgirls. Since the movie would only start an hour later, we roamed in Isetan and bought shermal's facial product - an expert in such stuff.. haha.
The movie was boring at first and gradually got better as the minutes went by. It was more of a musical, with songs to express how each of them feel at that point in time. In addition to that, the actors were fabulous. Hearing them sing melted me. Beyonce's pretty image plus her beautiful voice, powerhouse Jennifer Hudson, R&B Keith Robinson and comical Eddie Murphy made the film all the better. It also showed how the media works internally. Absolutely worth the ticket.
So dead tired after that and went home to rest.

Destructions to My Thoughts

I've always wondered to myself, why human beings lack control over events that occur in our lives. What one seeks and yearns for, is more often than not, the opposite of what one wants. Most of the time, what one hopes against all odds that it doesn't occur, it unfortunately does. And when one least expects something to occur, it always happens. Such an irony...
There is totally no control over how events change and work out in life. In one of the emails i received, it was said that 90% of our life is self-controlled. The other 10% is not within our means of control. Is that true? I doubt so...
Decisions may be made but ultimately the different people playing different roles in the event decide on the outcome. So when does one exactly take full control of his life?
Taking studies for example, you may have given in your 100% throughout the year, doing well in tests and exams.. but when the final and major paper to decide your fate on the next stage of life comes along, you flung it. It's partially within your control that you presented your answers in that manner. Besides that, it's also the teachers who mark the papers and the setter of the paper who will eventually determine your final score. How they decide to allocate points on the various answers you provided for each question. Is that within your control?
This issue has been on my mind since i was an adolescent. Perhaps i'm too much into dreaming a life of fantasy. Perhaps i'm too engaged in creating perfect characters which cannot be found in the real world. Perhaps i've always been yearning for the best and unable to reach the peak that i've set. Perhaps perhaps perhaps...
Left clueless.

Lunar New Year

It was time for the Lunar New Year preparations. Friday was spent cleaning up my room and running errands with mummy. On the eve of New Year, i cleaned up the remaining rooms and mopped the floor. Geez.. tiring jobs but seeing everything sparkling clean felt good. Lol.
Stayed up till 2am for the prayers and what people called nian shou? Haha, dad and mum's gonna have longevity. Every year we stay up till that late.
And New Year has arrived once again. Greetings were sent via sms like mad. Visited granduncle's house in the morning and proceeded to grandma's house in the afternoon. Remained there till dinner before heading home. There were only 2 little ones and Donald gor to accompany us.
Played with little Anna who was just 5 years old. Sooooo cute. Chatted a little with Donald gor and watched bro and bel play with them. Since there was so much time to kill, i took to the task of reading the papers. Lol. The first day was spent just like that. Fewer people visiting grandma as the years go by... =(
I had a heels disaster on my way to granduncle's place. Nearly fell several times and ended up running on my toes. It was much easier that way. However, the straps snapped. LOL. So daddy had to pull those straps which came off. My heels had a new design after that. =.= Daddy was so cute. Asked me to buy a new pair of heels and whether i was alright walking on the heels yesterday. He even held on to my hand to support me. Geez.. i'm a failure at heels walking. Any trainers? haha.. Pathetic me =)

Mummy: You better don't be.
Holy.. what does mummy think of her own daughter? *shrugs* I'm not loose k? Guys who are attached are a no no, lest one who is married and a tutor of mine. =.=

Straight after the last paper, the six gals headed down to Orchard. Weee~~!! A break after 2 torturous weeks of revision and mind busting. While we awaited for Sakae's lunch buffet to start at 3pm, we decided to catch Ghost Rider at Cineleisure.
Geez.. that show freaked me out several times. But it was pretty nice. Kept one's nerve on the ends. The storyline goes like this: Jimmy Blake had a deal with the devil to find the contract and get rid of the elements of water, fire, etc in order to save his father from the cancer that was killing him slowly. Although his father's cancer was cured, he died on that day itself due to a freak accident caused by the devil. Jimmy, chosen as the ghost rider, completed his part of the deal and as usual, there was a happy "ending". There's a twist towards the end of the show which was kinda interesting. Quite worthwhile watching it. It kept my heart pumping tremendously. Good exercise...
Late lunch at Sakae wasn't a good idea. We weren't hungry after taking some food at LJS. So, we only managed to eat a total of 30 plates or less? And bowls of udon. Our tummies were filled. Thereafter, we shopped in Wistma and Taka. Met stephie jie's for the first time. One word - skinny. lol.
It was a nice outing. It has been long since we last went out as a group. Forever that sweet...

Undesirable Situations...

8 February 2007 9:51pm
A message was received. Upon reading it, i was at a loss for words. Slowly, i digested the contents of the message as i re-read it over and over again. I was upset but perhaps he thought this was the best way out. A span of 1 month and 22 days. Ended as quickly as it started... Probably this relationship is not meant to be. Even though it's over now, i still hope that he will persevere in his studies and strive for the best. Are friends still permissible? Haiz...
And i know that there's someone out there who is feeling more hurt than i do. Please brace up. Life will get better some day. Cheer up...

The first paper which i sat for today had just ended several hours ago. My heartbeats were in palpitations. This is the first time i felt so nervous while working on my exam script. Nervous not because i didn't know how to do it but nervous because i was rushing against time. I was afraid i didn't have enough time to complete the paper. And in the end, nervousness worked against me.
I handed in my script full of errors. Silly errors i would say. Errors which i seldom make. And today's one of those days. I'm utterly disappointed in my performance. Upset that i will not be able to meet my mark this time round. Hoping to get into the Director's List again? GPA 3.5 and above? Dream on...
In a trance of disappointment and moodiness...

Burnt Out

It's been a week since i last placed an entry in this blog. One full week of mugging and today, i felt burnt out. I had no desire to carry on with my revision for the coming exams, with my first paper just two days away.
All i wanted to do was to chill out. I had been too demanding on myself the past week. Breaks were only taken when i gamed late in the nights.
I feel suffocated. Buried right under those piles of notes. They make me feel sick. For once, i surrender. Whatever comes along, i will just take it. No motivation... Lost concentration... It's gone.
Setting that aside, i still wanna wish all poly mates the very best in their exams. Jiayou guys!
