was reading some of the email exchange i had with ben last nite...
it was only a fraction of our correspondence...
coz most of it was wee hour chats on ICQ...
whose logs i seemed to have misplaced...
read one where we discussed abt wad colour jimny was nicer...
whether he should get a chilli red jeep...
or a silver one the way i liked it...
in the end he settled for the forest green...
one of the only colours left in the earliest shipment...
think he was kinda in a hurry to get his own jeep...
we called the jimny his mistress..
and the benz his wife...
wonder where i stood...
'the-person-who-sits-in-the-front-passenger-seat'...

while i find jeeps cool...
it was a tad difficult to get into...
rem when i first tried to get on...
on the busy road between j8 and the interchange...
it was kinda a rush...
coz he just finished work...
and i bought food so tat we can eat somewhere else...
but it was a single lane road...
so i practically had to jump in and he would have to speed away...
was carrying my fav eastpak...
so i couldnt really close the door when half of my bag was sticking out...
he had to drive slowly to a corner...
let the cars pass...
and me safely strapped in...

it was crazy memories like these that made letting go freaking difficult...
its been 2.5 years...
but it still remains fresh...
like it happened just yesterdae...

man...
this has gotta be the best day of my life...
i know...
ive been on commercial flights and all...
but the joy ride today was simply spectacular...
it's really hard to describe...
coz putting it all to words wont do justice to the beauty and wonderous sights i got to see...

din get to fly it...
nvm...
din get to sit in front...
nvm...
but oh man...
it was awesome...
sg never looked so small...
everything looked like little lego blocks...
even the expressway looked like a little twig...
gawd...
being in the clouds...
looking down into the beauty of the nature reserves...
the reservoirs...
seeing AJ from a few thousand feet up...
as cold wind rushes through the cabin...
its something we cant experience in a commercial flight...
where you dont even know the difference between u being airborne or grounded...
man...
it was really really beautiful...
and suddenly you felt so away from ur ground life...
elevated...
liberated...
edwin the president was sitting beside me...
i think he was pretty humoured by how awestruck i was...
really...
i was just speechless...

too bad i'm not tall enough...
if not...
flying my own planes...
and not taken on a joyride...


dun think i'll have another chance like dis...
glad i din miss it...
liteng who helped me with the forms...
mr tan who was ultra nice throughout the whole thing...
my pilot, col thiam...
it was the ride of my life...

aint giving up hope as yet...
maybe i'll continue growing...
then i can join while in U???
hopefully...
then it'll be another distraction away from surfing...
but heck...
this is too good to give up...
it was the ride of my life...

BRAIN DEAD...

had PE today quite fun lah...
won the two games with 2-0 and 1-0...
me scored 3 goals...
am happie...
coz been so long since i last played...

the tutorials were qite slack lah...
but tiring lah...
coz been doing alot of work recently...

chem pract today was quite ok lah...
at least it was do-able...
came home after tat..
coz dun wanna study in sch...
need my bath...
so tat i wont fall asleep...
maybe go BK study soon???
YC in sch today...
so nobody pei wo...
but i will survive!

was sms-ing cy in the bus...
i think i gave him the impression tat i'm very sianz...
and sad...
dunno why either..
i'm pretty fine actually...
except for the stuff that keeps replaying in my mind...
tired of tat...
really wanna put it all down..
but just cant seem to...

never really speak to him this week...
i dunnoe how to interpret it though...
that the feelings are starting to fade...
or tat i'm trying my best to put it aside...
trying not to look at him...
...not to listen out for his voice or laughter...
...not to start any conversations...
maybe i'm just sensitive...
but it feels as if these efforts were two-way...
like he's keeping a distance from me...
caught his gaze a couple of times today...
but it seemed all so uncomfortable...

...maybe it just isnt meant to be...


its kinda weird of me actually...
to blog of different pple in a same period of time...
maybe thats just how confused and clueless i am...
dun even know wads going on in my mind...

i guess one of the most tell-tale signs that i fang bu xia is the fact that i'm still using his nick...

...his IRC/iCQ nick...
...one which he explained to me as a abrevation of 'ben is lazy'...
...which he used while chatting to me on countless nites...
...that i picked up to use coz i guess it was the closest i could get to him...

shouldnt have said i would never msg him again...
...when i wanted so much to do so...

shouldnt have said maybe we shouldnt meet up anymore...
...when i longed to see him so...

that day i was contemplating the fact that i put my baggage down???
well...
i guess not...

i think i still miss ben...

...the lemon/lime freshener in his jeep...
...our crappy sms-es...
...the late nites online...
...that star-gazing nite at mt faber...
...our emails...
...that afternoon sitting on the swings and talking the day away...
...our stupid drawings which we faxed to each other...
...the little packages of sweets which we mailed to one another...
...how we bought the same packs of skittles and sent it over on the same very day...
...the way he held my hand and told me everything was going to be alright...
...i just had to believe him...

that was years ago...
but really...
i do miss him...

really tired...
of everything...
though i cant really say wad...
dunnoe whether it is things not going well for me...
or just that me experiencing a mood swing of some sorts...
i dunnoe...
maybe i've been too bothered abt pple ard me...
trying too hard to please...
maybe i should just be selfish...
maybe i am already...
somehow...
the principles by which i have been living my past 18 years by seems all so redundant and irrelevant...
seriously...
can i really disregard everything and everyone ard me???
i wanna live life for myself..
not for anyone...anymore...

mood swing...

oh well...

shared table with jing...YC...cherchin...
heheh...
crapped alot lah...
never knew cc can be so farnie...
and the guys...
woohoo!
were great i guess...

cant really tell why the rest cannot make it...
give them benefit of doubt...
tat they really have something more impt on...
on hindsight...
realise that i cant help it if they dont feel for the klass as much as i do...
and tat i should actually stop imposing my feelings on others...
sorries to all those who were offended by me over the past two days...
just thot that today was really a day too good to miss...


back to SG...
piangz....
really had lotsa fun...
the photo below is a pretty pixelled version of the photo i asked a small boy to help us take...
i think its great...
am thankful...
lunch was fun lah...

playing with hanging angklungs...

IQ questions...
in short...
i had a great time...

even though almost quarrelled with YC over this...
i'm glad it blew over and we ended up studying, more like crapping, at SK library...
he was nice enuff to pei me as i waited for idiot eugene's msg...
which never came...
stupid guy...
but if i'm not wrong...
his phone no batt...
his charger at camp...

greatest part was tat my sibs also dropped by the library to borrow books...

tuesday!!!
bleah...
long day..
many things...
too many in fact...
but one of the impt things that happened today....
is during class civics lesson...

you know the thing abt throwing a ball of yarn abt...
telling everybody how much they mean to you and stuff...
yeah...
did that today...
although wasnt really year end liaoz...
could feel the end approaching...
when things started pouring out...
the tear ducts couldnt really do their job liaoz...
almost wanted to cry...
i dunnoe why....
but 01 sorta meant alot to me...
cant say why or how...
but it has been great...

rem din really enjoy being in 01 in the first 3 mths...
yesh...
that was how much the incident affected me..
but somehow...
stayed...
even though i hated f maths...
never regretted tat decision since...

like i said in klass today...
never had guys in class in sec sch...
so its a little different...
not much though...
coz they alwaz end up being bullied by me or something like dat...
01's special...
girls sat apart from the guys...
yesh...
big distinction btw fmaths ppl and non-fmaths...
yesh...
but somehow...
there seem to be an invisible bond...
kinda like permanent dipole-permanent dipole forces that keeps our klass together...
the diversity of us all actually binds us together....
amazing but true...

i was kinda speechless during the session today...
but no one can ever understand how much i had to say abt the klass...
i could stand there and say something abt every single one in the klass if i had to...
coz everyone meant something to me...
really...

wad xiuz said was true...
sec sch teachers told us...
frens from jc cannot be compared to that of sec schs...
but i'm pretty sure...
frenz i made in JC...
are no less...if not more...amazing than pple i met in sec sch...
really...
like having YC studying with me even though the consultation is alwaz one-way...
only me asking him and not the other way ard...
its these kinda selfless acts...
tat makes it all seem all so wonderful...

i thanked YC during the yarn thingy today...
but i din get the yarn ball often enough to thank all the pple i need to thank...
coz the idiotic guys alwaz kept the ball within themselves...
maybe i'll do it here....

thanks melissa and lala....
somehow you two are alwaz able to pick up the times i wasnt feeling great...
and made my days look bright again...
you both are my sunshine...

weihao...
for slamming the audi door in melissa and my face...
but know that you suggested buying my bottle back for me...
i kinda accept my loss...
but cherished the fact that i have frenz like you who would do things like tat for me...

all the girls...
for being just as they are...
bringing in the laughter...crap...and for just being there...
how we dont shy away from holding each other's arm...
lending a shoulder to cry on...
both literally and metaphorically...

merv...
for ur verbal diahorrea...
walking from klass to klass with ya never seem boring...
maybe coz we crap on the same frequency...

and so....
many more...
will add on in the coming days...

i love 01...
i really do...

thinking of writing postcards to the peeps ard me...
i dunnoe...
it'll take my mind off work and stress for a while...
and hopefully brighten up their days...

this week wasnt as great as last week lah...
esp with things pertaining to my infatuation...
as such the last glimmer of hope was probably put out liaoz...
am content with being frenz...
but seriously...
i dunno whether he knows...
coz it seemed that many already guessed...
i hope not...
coz i guess i should be slowly putting it down...
such things are only sweet at the beginning...
but leaves a bitter aftertaste...
maybe it should end before it reaches that stage...


had ben at the back of my mind during the 'o's...
affecting my studies...
dun wanna the same thing to happen for my 'a's...

ben's b-dae passed without me doing anything for him...
din even send a postcard like i usually do...
even for the most insignificant dates...
am i really moving on???
finally??
or was it just coz i was too busy???
i hope for the former...
but even if so...
i long for a day when i could bump into him on the streets...
just to know he's okay...

finally back online!!!
hope the thing with the worm kinda blown off...
coz being unable to blog for the past couple of days...
actually oni yesterdae...
was quite torturous actually...
knowing me...

yesterdae was entirely spent on the floor of my living room...
doing maths on the coffee table...
one thing that my home lack is a proper study table...
sis took up the dining table...
so i'm kinda left with the poor coffee table...
not bad lah...
jap culture...
but seriously...
it was the longest session of maths ever...
so proud of myself...
but seriously...
it wasnt that much of an acheivement...
took so long becoz i just couldnt seem to get the answers...
argh!

yesterdae i was thinking of getting my hair shorter today...
but woke up to it looking okay...
so thought i rather wait till my mom comes back from bintan...
so that she could give me valuable advice...
hair' sticking out at the ends...
and its really quite irritating...
maybe laoda's rite...
should cut armani...
bleah...
no way...
don wanna get chased out of the female toilet like i did b4 back in pri sch days...

i wanna watch the league of extraordinary gentlemen..
i think it looks damn freaking nice...
why pass out on a chance to drool at all those ultra cool guys...
all in one movie???
man!
not often lor....
dont care...
will watch it next week...

k k...
will get down to chem and physics today...
and if i can...
write the essay for which i did a mindmap liaoz...
"Censorship is an insult to Man's intelligence. Comment."
cheers!

din blog yesterdae...
i think the scare with the worm...
and the thought of possible annhilation of my PC kinda kept me offline...
went to CGH for the xray after sch yesterdae...
seems tat all's clear...
so u would probably see me back on the waters in no time...
but dad kinda apprehensive abt me going back to train...
anyways...
the a's approaching...

met YC and merv at compass point after that...
to study lor..
din study much...
coz they were more bent on suaning me than anything else...
i say one sentence they rebutt 5....
yeah...
it was dat bad...
forced yoshinoya down YC's throat...
muahahah...
and did stupid things with contest forms...
=)

bad hair day today...
actually its more like everyday...
but wad the heck...
maybe i'll get it shorter over the weekend...
the heat is unbearable...
almost to the stage of suffocation...
bleah...
eeks!

having cramps...
woke up in the middle of the night to a bad bout of it...
argh!
unbearable!
downed the painkillers just now...
after breakfast...
tat was at least 15 mins ago...
but it still hurts like shit...
why isnt it working??
darn...
maybe i'll have to do some work to keep my mind off it...

lala's been saying that i'm pretty quiet the whole of today...
dont think so leh...
still pretty noisy and everything...
maybe she thinks i'm quiet coz i din really talk to her today...
but how to when most of the time i have the back of her head to my face?
i'm not quiet...moody...or tired...
if i am i would admit it...
i cant lie well...
so if i deny...
it really means that i'm ok...
=)

pattaya thingy came back into the picture today..
coz i kinda asked PC abt her taking over my seat...
i really really wanna go DND...
but wanna go pattaya as well...
so argh!

slack day...
din do much chem with YC...
waited till the rain subsided...
then made our way to sk for dinner...
poor guy...
have to pei me like dat...
but oh well...
thats for being my fren...
my frenz always kena qi fu by me one...
=)

battlefield was pretty not bad today...
had fun...
erm...
was kinda enriching...
really...
learnt alot of things...
the guide was great...
very knowledgable...
cheers!

talked alot to YC today...
its quite farnie actually...
to think abt how much i detested working with him last year coz of a misunderstanding we had over work...
but seriously...
he aint that bad a person...
hahah...
not that he was bad to start off with...
but that we had a bad start to our frenship lah...
guess things worked out ok...
told him my secret liaoz....
so he's the second guy to know...
i know i din wanna more pple to find out...
but somehow...
i found it damn difficult to keep it from him...
and really wanted to tell him...
haha...
dunno why either...
=P

but YC kinda agreed tat it was impossible...
so i gave up all remaining hope i actually had...
oh well...
nevertheless...
it has been a great thing liking ***...
i cant comprehend what i feel...
but its been making me work harder...
which is in fact a good thing...
=)
i know where i stand...
and tat i could never be on the same level as him...
but i guess i'm happy simply being frens...
and would rather writhe in silence than risk losing our frenship by some impulsively foolish declaration...


life's not all abt work...
nor love...
nor relationships...
nor studies...
there's no imperative...
being in relationships b4...
am able to see the pros and cons of both...
it is beautiful yeah...
but like most beautiful things are...
they're not a necessity...
maybe i was too young then to fully understand it...
to make it work for us...
21mths wasnt a long time for a relationship...
though in comparision to my peers, it was...
21 mths was a long time to realise that it wasnt meant to be...
i was sad...
so was he...
or so i hoped...
but i guess both of us had to move on...
and i'm glad we did...

seems that i did my paper 2 in vain again...

bad day...
ask lala lah...
black face for most of the day...
lost my adidas water bottle...
kena grilled by maths tutor...
piangz...
was quite gek...
the way she grilled me was as if i copied my work...
din appreciate it lor...
i DID my own work lor...
at least for all the stats tuts...
but couldnt answer coz we din understand her question and did it too long ago to remember anyway...

sucky...
argh...
but more importantly...
i lost my bottle!!!
its darn special to me...
coz my whole team got one each...
and not that we bought it together...
but it so happen that all of us got the same series...
how coincidental can things get???


events of the day...
*mrs wong gave her blessings to the 'gay couple' of our klass...
*YXY's back from penang today...
*i decided against retaking my SAT...
*mr wee din come to sch today...

but day was brighter again when jud smsed me to ask whether i could meet him today...
bo pian...
weird day...
weird time...
but bo pian...
he's going back on sat liaoz...
so met him at city hall...
shopped abit at city link...
where i bot a keychain...
he bot a bag...
tried to choose a pair of quarts for him...
but that fussy guy...
dis cannot that cannot...
=P
met gerald after awhile...
then went suntec food court for dinner...
this trio attracted quite a few stares...
i think pple were thinking why was someone like me out with two ultra shuai ge...
jud and gerald are probably two of the best looking guys in the team lor...
gerald's like 23 years old...
but we were saying he looks like 20 or younger lor...
and jud looks like elvin yio...
hahhaa...
damn glad i caught jud though...
i think when he leaves on sat..
he'll be gone for an even longer time...
stupid guy is going U in sept lor...
c'mon...
that guy is supposed to be younger than me...
but he's going to U ahead of me...
aint fair...
but seriously...
Wat is?

gave me a hug before i lft for my dad's car...
din think too much of it...
until i realised it was probably the last one if i dont send him off on sat...
MUST go down on sat...
the goodbye today din suffice...

okok...

came back home at abt 430...
spent some time at the temple praying to my late grandad...
it was kinda an occasion that we get together with our cousins and all...
its a feeling quite mixed actually...
brats...cuties...
all into one...
but still...
had a good time..
despite being one of the rarest guests on such occasions...
usually give it a miss...
coz some of the seniors actually dont earn my respect thru the things they do...
or rather...
should have done...

they make my mom sad...
and considering i'm already such a prb by myself....
hate seeing other pple make her sad...
thats why i dont hold back scolding my dad if he was mean to her...

ate alot today...
just kept eating...
oh well...
mum said my face look sunken...
how could tat be?
havent been exercising since gawd knows when...
maybe coz my hair looks bigger...
therefore my face look smaller...
hint: homerun...

din go out with jud today...
he was thinking of crashing mel's b-dae...
coz zhiyou's there...
wanted me to join him...
but nah...
not comfy doing stuff like dat...
dont know mel that well..
not even zhiyou...
so...
oh well...
offered to help him pack instead...
for his trip back to canada...
just hope i can see him b4 he goes back there...
dont wanna miss him...

told cy not going out with him tmr also...
feel kinda insecure with my new hair...
maybe when i get more accustomed to it???
family quite relentless with their suan-ing...
aint helping my confidence...

will grab my bath now...
then its time for some maths...

so am behind lili and adrian...
think andrew's going to chop me up into little pieces...
'why am i on the team when my ranking sux?'

my hair quite short now...
if i tie up...
everything will start falling apart...
which renders tying up pointless...
thing is got lotsa hair...
so short hair's kinda...big...
if i can put it that way...
bought gel...
lotsa it...
if the hair doesnt work out...
u'll probably see a geek in sch on monday...
all gel-ed up...

mom says its nice...
but maybe coz its blown dry today...
wonder how it'll be like if i dont blow my hair...
since i normally dont...
argh!!!!
i'm dead...
dont tell me i've to spend 20 minutes everyday doing something i never donw b4 in my whole entire life!!!
oh no!!!

even have a special section in my bedtime prayer..
just for him...
not 'abt him-for me'...

maybe this is how it is...
to want the person to be happier than you are...

coz of penang...
i dun wanna miss something like dat again...
somemore PC said they wanna get chalet....
i think most probably i'll be left out again...
damn sad...
sometimes i do wonder why i cant be just like any of my peers...
have all the time in the world...
to chill out...date...hang out...sleep...or just to have time for myself...
i dont talk to myself enough...
that i hardly even know myself...
i know it sounds psychotic...

and i thot i could stay in sg and take up some martial arts after the a levels...
was thinking i could use the time to slack...
did cross my mind to drop out of the team...
fear...reluctance...fatigue...
i dunnoe...
i havent lost the passion for the sport...
nor the desire to succeed...
but...
i dunnoe wad either...

this is a huge opportunity for us...
after this...
if we're keen...
and good...
they'll send us to hainan or zhejiang in future...
to train with the chinese province teams...

worked on my WITS presentation...
which sucked...
team got silver...
but oh well...
have to admit we din work as hard as guoyi's group...
man...
they were great lah...

lent my college pin to a scholar...
who was abt to go see principal...
hahha...
seemed tat YXY got approval to go back penang this weekend...
been crapping truckloads with everybody around me...
work stress?
maybe just crazy me...

donated blood this afternoon...
wah lau..
hate it leh...
every time anyone tries to poke me for blood ah...
they alwaz have prb looking for my vein for something...
today...
she poke damn long...
no blood flow out...
then when blood did flow...

YXY was just beside me...
he poked more than 5 mins after me...
but finished like earlier than me lor...

nice lyrics...
made me feel all better again...

Jimmy Eat World_-_The Middle

hey
don't write yourself off yet
it's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
just try your best
try everything you can
and don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away


hey you know they're all the same
you know you're doing better on your own so don't buy in
live right now
just be yourself
it doesn't matter if that's good enough for someone else


it just takes some time
little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
everything everything will be just fine
everything everything will be all right


do your best
do everything you can
don't you worry what their bitter hearts are going to say

am feeling like there more stuff now that i cant blog...
its quite a paradox really...
this is supposed to be a blog...
yet i'm afraid the wrong pple read wrong things...
am feeling quite alot today...
kinda on both extremes...
one side i'm like so happy abt things that happened today...
yet another a bleak opposite...
somehow i dunnoe how to feel...
maybe acting un-like myself takes my mind off the yucky stuff...
i really dunnoe...

mentioned b4 hate going home with pple i'm not close with...
find the silence awkward...
and it'll be really unlike myself should i try to strike a conversation or keep up with the one he/she starts...
appreciate the solitude rather...
time to reflect think and rethink...
love going home with pals...
but somehow...
today's ride felt awkward...

think the pre-major-exams-crazy-attitude is setting in on me now...
doing stupid stuff all the time...
think will get on pple's nerves soon...
time for me to direct my energy to the books and notes i think...
need all the time, help, motivation i can get...
am trying...
will keep on trying...

still am happie today...
...i think the crush kinda brightens up my days...

super long day today...
but din do much work during breaks...
slacker!!
aint good...
esp when you see pple like YXY reading notes while walking to the next classroom venue...
argh...
hate myself for not being able to motivate myself...
i suck...

but oh well...
had a great time making a fool outta myself...
running ard during practs...
for answers, craps and more...
drew YXY's graph for him...
hahaa...
think i ruined it...
but oh well...
thats for asking me to draw for him...
muahahha...
then make him erase all his points...
*evil grinz*

feel like such a wonderful person today...
went ard helping pple keep stuff...
wires...batts...resistors...funnels...test-tube holders....
man...
i AM nice rite???
gawd...
cant believe i'm doing this...
heaping praises on myself...
but i guess such things sorta internalise after a while...
thats what classmates are for rite???

met yunn boon on the way home today...
on the LRT coz he just came back from work...
at starhub...
for abt two months...
waiting for NS mah...
think he changed alot...
suddenly felt he looks alot like wf...
quite glad to have met him though..
having someone to talk to on the ride home...
then walking back to the same block...
he lives on the floor above me...
cool huh?
yeah...
used to play bball together...
i supply pump...
he supply ball...
then look for guoliang at the neighbouring block...
lost contact with guoliang though...
last time i saw him thot he looked alot like takeshi kaneshiro...
esp the hair...
but oh well...
re-saved yb's number in my hp liaoz...
so glad...

cant stay any longer...
lotsa work to be done...
esp WITS stuff...
nitey!

jumped at every chance i could today...
guess its getting a tad too obvious...
another fren asked me abt it...
and i kinda admitted..
darn...
have to keep my actions in check...
it wont be good if he found out...
but am happy today...
and i guess that will be enough for me...

just that too much is expected of me...
stuff that i cant deliver...
it sux...
...esp when you have your team mates calling u up...
asking you why you never go for training...
or the competition tmr...
and having trouble explaining that my dad grounded me coz of my fractured toe...
...and when you cant measure up to your peers in anything at all...
i dont know why...
and that feelings sux...
to the core...
is there something that i can do well???
i guess i truly exemplified the meaning of 'jack of all trades, master of none'...
not that i am a jack of all trades...
but seriously...
there's nothing i'm seriously good at...
not even wsf-ing...
not maths...
not chem...
not physics...
not GP...
sometimes i really envy/admire/jealous of YXY and the other smarty pants in my klass...
depending how acute the depression is...
why cant i be just like them?
looking back at my o level days doesnt help a single bit...
why cant i have miracle again?

heck...
no point getting myself all depressed at a time like this...


went Sk library to study alone just now...
lala in sch with laoda...
but i preferred to go home first...
have a good bath...
feel refreshed then get down to work...
did stats for 4 hrs on end...
downed a caramel ice blended...a cafe latte...potato wedges...
i guess that and the YCK ice cream was my lunch-cum-dinner...
although you cant really consult when studying alone...
i guess the serenity really helped...
other than the occasional noise from sec sch girls having a gossip session at the cafe...
the library was a quiet place with nice pple manning the coffee bar...

did some consideration...
will try to model my study timetable to YXY's as much as possible...
i guess i need all the discipline and time i can get...
maybe i shouldnt go out with CY this weekend...
but stay home and mug...
