Block S

Two of my block mates and I were talking (nonsense) after tutorial earlier today about how the C-shua shua and C seh seh cheer belong to Block C cos they start with the letter C. (Actually it's Si shua shua and Si seh seh). Then I was just babbling aloud about how it actually starts with S instead and should belong to Block S.


Hm.. Block S..



Shearites from Block A are called Acers, from Block B are called Beekers, C-Towners, DeeBlockers and Eekers.. What will Shearites from Block S be called??

S-HOLES!


Hahaha. And all those tua kang (means big hole, which means talk big/make empty promises/no-substance talk) people in hall can go to Block S! Those who are not so tua kang, just normal kang can be just normal S-holes. those who are super tua kang can be big S-holes!

Haha. Big hole wat. So big holes from Block S makes Big S-holes!


Ouch. Can you imagine the block head of Block S? He'll be an S-hole block head.. Worse. He'll be THE S-hole block head..

Haha. One of my block mates even said the S-holes can all live on their level 8. But there will be nothing under it. Haha. Cos they all tua kang. Talk about building castles in the air..


Hey Edward, Block B has only seven levels because of you le.. Want to consider Block S instead??


p.s. I realised S-hole starts with S-h.. But in no way do I mean Sheares Hall. Block S is merely a figment of my imagination. :)




Looking through the hole..

Hm.. Haha. Realised I haven't been posting happy things for quite a while.


Finally went to church again just yesterday, and Pastor said that the first place that the devil attacks is the mind. Come to think of it, all the unhappiness, the cares and concerns, the worries and moodiness.. The devil has shot lots of thoughts into my head alright. And I HAD fallen deeply into his trap.

NO MORE.


So sorry auntie, for making you worry all the way in Otago. Haha, and so sorry to all the rest who found this blog a bit repetitive.

Anywayz. Happy posts!

One week ago, just after SWOC I think. Can't remember which day.. Friday I think. 10 August 2007. I was shitting in the toilet, when my handphone rang. (It's coincidence. 99% of the time, I don't bring my phone into the toilet)




And I got this call from this Malay lady who was saying a lot of things but I couldn't hear cos I was concentrating on the other end of my body. But as all effective marketing people go, she managed to get her message across (amid plops and splashes. Hehe I couldn't resist.)

The thing was, I was sort of offered this complimentary photo shoot at this studio called Snapz image, complete with make up and hair styling. And I can bring my whole family along for this thing. And at the end of it all, I'll get two photos of my choice in a CD-ROM.


Hey, good idea. We don't really have a lot of 全家福s (a total of.. hm.. 2?) lying around. And even if we have to pay for it in the end, no harm.. right?


But my dad thought it was a scam, and my brother couldn't make it on the last minute so in the end, only me and my mother went. And so we did. Obviously after the whole shoot and everything they tried to sell us this and sell us that. Haha. That poor guy was trying not to tell us the price of the package even though we kept asking him. (It was $2588!)




But too bad for them, they bumped into the most stubborn customer of all time.. Me! And no matter what they said, or how they said it. I said no. Haha. Too bad. So I just chose two lor and Lesley (the name of the poor consultant who got us) burnt it into a CD and gave it to me.


But I forgot to bring it to hall! Darn. Else I'll definitely post the photos up.

After the shoot, we headed down to Aunty Pat's house. Wahahaha. Finally saw Uncle Terence after.. Hm.. 17 years? Hahaha. Cos I seriously don't remember seeing him at all. So it's gotta be reaaally long ago. And I got Timothy's msn! Hehe. Any flashing green lights out there who don't mind waiting for a red light to change colour?? Singapore sure is small. Turns out he knows who Cass is too. But apparently, she didn't tell her cell group mates she was going on Work and Travel and they were all wondering what happened to her.


And the best part of the day! We went to Kuishin Bo for my mum's belated birthday dinner. That restaurant is so popular la.. We tried to reserve seats but they were fully booked and we had to queue up 45 minutes to get in.


While waiting, one of the staff took out a plate of squids-on-stik and started offering it to those waiting in the queue. My mother was won over that very instant.


And it so happened that it is the fireworks festival season! While waiting for a cab back home, we managed to enjoy a one-eighth view of the fireworks show. Hahaha.








So pretty right!!

Life and its nuances

*****************************************

I've got a bruise on my back next to my spine. And it's giving me troubles. I keep getting giddy spells as and when, and it's seriously getting irritating. Get down from the bus, giddy. Climb three steps, giddy. Look up in the sky, giddy. Sianz. Someone without no bruise near the spine whatsoever tell me this happens to you too.. Please!



*****************************************

It's funny how sometimes what you learn in life just keeps being proven wrong. Like how you went through a big trauma to learn a fact or many facts about life, the people around you and yourself, but only to be proven wrong at the end of it all.

A part of me wants to stick to what I know and refuse to change what I went through so much to learn and understand, yet a part of me wants to let go of this hard-gotten knowledge and just take the leap of faith.

I guess I went through a lot of arguing with myself before I am finally writing this.. A HUGE part of me just wanted to put up my old, stubborn answer, defences, attitude and all. Because those were the stuff that I learnt I must have to protect myself.

Yet another part of me wanted to ditch that irritating bit of me (haha. you (you know who you are) are not the only one who finds it appaling) and try to gain back that big part of my life I lost.

That night when my weaknesses were listed out one by one (actually it just boiled down to one, right?), I realised that I had reverted back to my old self. But it was a lot more than that. I just couldn't pinpoint it out when my heart was threatening to thump out of my chest.

It was not the first time people said that to me. And it was definitely not the first time they told me what to do. But something felt wrong when I heard it, and I felt that I had something to say that what you saw me was not how I was.

A resolution to be a better person has definitely been around. And it has been around for a freaking long time. All the advice on how to go about it, I've been working on it for 2 years, I think. I even wrote a poem on it la. In a book that is sort of my diary.

Maybe I watch myself only around people who are strangers, or people whom I really really care for. But either way, I find myself keeping my resolutions around only some people..

I guess I had really gotten used to not having that big part of my life, and I was already not enjoying your company like I used to. Probably it was a case of different frequencies, that when your doors are opened, my doors are closed, and when mine are opened, yours are closed. In the end, you feel that you're just giving on your part, when actually I was just having that feeling too.

I agree with you that it is my own mental barrier that I have to go through, but I cannot agree that I want you to live the way I want you to. I was badly hurt by you many times before, and now you still ask that I change and work for your trust and friendship. I ask that I won't be hurt again, that's all.. But you say that I am insisting you live the way I want you to, when I don't even dare feel that you are insisting I change just to suit you.

Haha. Probably you still don't know how much of a loser I am. But all I need is a sentence of "I won't hurt you again" and that would be all. I don't need actions, I don't need anything else. Even an empty promise will do. Haha. I am such a freaking loser.

But it would still be wonderful for you to mean it when you say it. At least I know that even if you do hurt me again, you never meant it.

Oh well. For things to come to such a state for you and me. I don't know what to say also. I guess I could only go back to how you knew me as I were right at the beginning and just give both of us a chance to let this work out one more time. I know I cannot work towards gaining your friendship and trust back, or even having the hope of a happy ending kinda thing cos I know I definitely cannot take it if it fails.

Maybe you can just give up a friendship just like that if it doesn't work out, but I guess that is something too precious for me to just let go. And I don't want to just hit the bottom level and do everything I can to make you happy. Which is what I am very prone to doing.

I have no doubts that everything might just work out in the end, but as you said, it is still a mental barrier I have to overcome.

So yup. Everything will go back to the beginning. And how it takes off from there, we'll just leave it to God. All the best for both of us.

p.s. Haha. I don't even know if you actually read my blog..

Just this one post and I'll move on

Told her I got ponded and got a mocking laugh from her. Sigh.

Played with her and she told me don't play already. But she'll play the very same game with another person. And she looked like she's having fun. Sigh.

She'll talk to others and tell them stuff. But say it's nothing when I ask. Sigh.

Will only talk to me and tell me stuff if I go find her first and talk to her, ask her and tell her stuff first. Sigh.

Will play and have fun with others. Will never do that with me. Now at least. Sigh.

Will go home with others. Forgot about me. I'm not the only one staying.. Sigh.

There was a point in time when I was happy she'll even speak to me. How loser could I be?

Forget it. Life is more than just this one friendship alone..

Short talk

oh my goodness these few days it's so freaking tired! I am so ready for a 24-hour nap now. I have just passed my fourth night of less-than-4-hours-sleep and I think I'm ready to die. Which I probably would if I don't get a 12-hour night in like really soon. Like tonight.

Whoa si seh seh alright. No continuation after that. Just super seh.

p.s. From now till you hear from me again, many things would have happened, but it might not be updated here. OR I have already died (from lack of sleep). But don't think too much. It's probably the first case happening.
