The Last Straw.

And finally, touch down.

Over the period of my short vacation, I've seen so much, learnt so much, heard so much, and experienced so much. Besides the nagging and occasional unreasonable-ness of my parents, my mind was so alive. So you can expect after 11 days I'm legit mentally drained. Also, I ate SO MUCH. I have a exercise plan for Feb before I fly back and hopefully that will materialize. I really enjoyed my trip though, I've learnt to appreciate the quietness of the countryside as well as the hecticness of the city. I've picked up crumbs of humbleness in mankind and splashes of greed and selfishness in the heart. Yes I sometimes curse and swear at the evil and pray they get retribution but wouldn't that make myself lower than them as well?

Life in itself is a lesson, a journey, an experience to see right from wrong, evil from good.

I don't know what to do with you anymore. Time is all you need, but that is something I cannot give you as much as I want to. Time defines every existence of every living thing on earth. Time defines what we could have been, what we desire to be but cannot be. Time is indefinite, priceless and most of all, forbidden. I had some uncertainty if this space of mine was ever found by you, but I've come to the point where its okay for you to see how I've struggled with my thoughts. Because I have decided to let go. Piece by piece. Because one day won't you leave as well just like you did those years before? I can't afford to let myself go through the same path again. I'm sane now don't you worry. I'm foolish no more. These months I have wavered, only because I told myself after all those months I deserve just a little happiness. Just a little. These are my unspoken thoughts for you. Thank you for these past months. Just like every Summer dream, the break ends and I'm back to reality in a month. I wish you the best, I wish you happiness and every success you dream and desire. I wish you love and peace, in hopes you will find someone that will give you the support, strength and love you deserve. I don't know when we will talk again, but when we do, I will answer you with a lighter but stronger heart. I just need you to have the courage, the nerve to strive for what you want. Not what your parents or those around expect of you, but what you yourself want. This is the last straw, the last page, the last hope. One more month and I'll be gone; my heart and soul with it I assure you. I'm giving myself just one more month. Just one.

She wants you to want her like how he does. But she doesn't want him, she wants you. The sad thing is that those who would give up the world for a person, that person would do the same for someone else and not you. That's why fairytales never work out, you sacrifice for the wrong people, your brain protects you from hurting yourself, but your heart thinks that pain is all worth it. 

I can't believe I'm off in another 3 or so weeks. And I can't believe I'll be turning 18 in just about a month or so. I don't want school to start ): I don't want reality to kick in. Everyone is splitting ways, with some in UK, AU and CA. True friends are so hard to find but now everyone is slowly drifting away. And that's why you treasure the occasional skype call or facebook chat. The bond of friendship is as strong as the bridge you build to maintain it. In times of darkness, friendship is all you have aside from kinship.

Support.
Something that comes in a physical, vocal and mental form. Don't we all need some sort of encouragement to push through the shit dirt we're in? If you're the anchor to my feet I will shake you off. I expected much more of you as a friend. If this is my own dream and my own ambition, who are you to have a say in how I want to steer my life? If this is the type of friendship you deem fit, I shall leave you with your English tea and bid you farewell. What have happened to you? Or was this just something I have dug up from deep within and only started to realise the cold poison that eats you from inside. Be happy my dear friend, be happy for yourself and those around you. The competition of the world will forever be there, but your happiness won't if you don't help yourself.

anyeong (:

Here's to 2015.

New Years was not. fun. at. all.

Like yeah sure watchnight service, starting the year blessed with the holy spirit and all. But the thing is that those who know me well enough, I was never a holy person, but i've always kept an open mind, and as always I've tried to accept the whole Christianity thingum, so I just tag along. But really, spending an hour talking about the events held in 2015..AND not even having a countdown?! AND even at 12 no best wishes? Just the announcing of the new church committee? Really? No matter how fking holy you are, you start the year off with a HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! Not some shit stunt like that.
Ugh. Basically it was a terrible end. I spent the last hour plus of 2014 on my phone trying to stay awake.

Overall, 2014 was a bad year.
It flew past so fast. Not because of how fun it was, but because of how mundane it was. Day after day I went through the same routine, as if life had no meaning to it and I was just living it watching each day past for the sake of making time fly. I could honestly say 2014 was one of the worst years i've had. Not only did i leave all my loved ones friends and family, joined a new "civillisation" with new people new environment, but also, I felt like I wasted one year of my life. Like I was not living my life. I was just drifting through it. I did not feel anything, I was just numb to everything.
To have reached this conclusion is really just appalling and disappointing to see my year spent so unsatisfyingly.

Change is good. But sometimes they are bad too.
Then again, I guess everything happens for a reason. That's why I always spend my time thinking what that reason could be. Everyone are trying to find answers aren't they? But what you find may not be what you wanted. And sometimes things- the truth, are better left unfound and undiscovered, because it'll be safer for your heart, yourself.

I won't regret the many friendships made, some broken, some mended. Sometimes unexpected things are just round the corner. As for you, you're always that unsolved puzzle in my life. I'm not sure when I will be able to complete that puzzle, or if there is one puzzle piece lost and I will just never solve it. You're unexpected, unreadable, unpredictable. I really don't know what I'm going to do with you.

Here's a shout out to Bryan:
thank you for still stopping by after what feels like a gazillion years. What if I change my blog URL one day? watcha gonna do ;) HAHA ANYWAY>>>
HAHA hi bryan. I know what you're thinking. But for now, I'll tell you to worry about yourself first kay? I'll sort my shit out. Soon. For now we're in the same messed up boat. Best wishes to 2015 and hopefully you'll get out of this boat soon. As for me, I think I should just buy over this boat because I won't be leaving it anytime soon I'm quite sure.

I'm thinking bout' how people fall in love in mysterious ways, maybe just the touch of a hand.





Here's wishing the bestest of the best wishes to everyone out there, hoping you have a wonderful 2015, and may this year be even better than the last.

As how many of us would start the year with a New Year Resolution, I'd just like one simple wish.
Make this year count.
I was already thinking of starting a bucket list notebook this year (which is kinda like a resolution kind of thing) but a limited to your lifetime goal kind of list, AND I'M REALLY EXCITED TO GET STARTED ON IT. and I'll write down the date and maybe have a few signing of the people i completed it with. It'll be cool. (:

Here's to 2015.

anyeong!

Shit Got Real.

You couldn't have told me 3 years earlier could you now? To save me all that time I spent grieving?
No, too soon? No, too fast? Or well, No, it just didn't mean anything to you?
Oh to hell with you and fk you.
I am so done. So done. All those months I thought you maybe had an inkling of remorse turned out to be something you concluded to be "immaturity". Oh hell I guess those 3 plus months I spent trying to forget anything even started was useless too because hmm I don't know, it was nothing because we were "too young" to make proper decisions.

Curry stain my ass. I'll just pour bleach all over it to get you out. Ruin my shirt for all I care, just as long as the bloody stain is out.

My feelings have been on a rollercoaster. Now, the tracks have just ended and the carriage have just been derailed.

Ranting actually helps. Hey guess I already semi got over it because this is just like the other 1001 shits you have done. Damn, actually scratch that. Thank you for making that comment. You've woken me up from the 1 month that I thought I was wavering. Hell no am I ever going back to that hellhole I was in.
I won't be vulnerable no more. I won't be pathetic. I will stand on my own two feet and hold my head high.

Why can't i just be happy for once. Am I not allowed that?

After a terrible and unsatisfying week, Saturday came.

06.12.14
Brunch was always wonderfully fun with the cousins. They'll never fail to amuse me. They're the best. Its like if you're having a bad day, you just have a chat with them and they say the most hilarious things to brighten up your day.
Then dinner came.
It was pleasant. Very unexpected, but yet unbelievably amazing. You know you expect something and you're taken back with something even better? I don't know but something is different this time round. Different good. Different awesome. I like this different. It is like another side that i've not exactly expected. Then when I had a glimpse of that side that night, I want more. So much more.
But some things are not meant to be yknow? Maybe I'm not sure just yet.
On the way home that night, I caught myself smiling, thinking about the events and topics of that night. I was legit happy. I even chose to walk home so that the quiet night could leave me to my own thoughts. They drifted, drifted to the laughter and happy reminiscing.
I don't think there's anything in there, because after those months, I told myself never to go back, never to be vulnerable. However, just for once I didn't care for any feelings. I just cared that at that moment I was happy. Genuinely happy.

I slept well that night. Very, in fact. But little did I know the next night would be an uncomfortable sleep.
Just when things were looking up, everything came crashing down.

07.12.14
Before leaving for dinner, I saw him at the gate being drenched in the slight drizzle of rain. Quickly I told Auntie Verge to wipe him dry. We had to leave for the dinner as we were late. We just rushed off. That was the last time I saw life in those eyes. He looked so sad, but I just thought it was because he was getting wet in the rain. I think he knew. He knew it was coming. Some things just happen so suddenly just as we don't expect it. That's why we have the saying, "live every moment, treasure each and every second." But how were we to know? Whenever my friends pet would go, I only knew how to offer a word of comfort and thats that. I didn't feel too remorseful because well, I just thought it just like any other animal that was growing old- it is expected. But now, i truly understand, that relationship between a dog and an owner, is something you cannot just cut it off simply. All those months that I was away, no one took you out. Maybe ocassionally, but not the number of times you truly deserve. Thank you so much for waiting those 8 months for me to take you on your last walk. Thank you for always being so patient. Thank you for being so playful that it makes me laugh. Everytime the gates open, I would always expect you to wag your tail and slowly walk one side to let the car enter into the porch. I would always expect you to keep wagging that tail. I would always expect to see you the next morning. I expect too much of you boy. I expected too much. and I just took you for granted. I love you so much nicky. I love you so much. I really hope you are in a better place now. You are so strong. So smart. As van says, I hope you're in doggie heaven now with all the bones and balls you can find. You may not have remembered Brandy or Whiskey, but if you see them up there, make friends okay? they're good dogs too. I love you. Please take care of yourself now. I will be thinking of you everyday when I look up. Everyday. I won't know who to take on walks now who knows how to hold their own leash like you do. I will make it a point to take Gin out more times too. I know you would want that, for her to at least do what she can on your behalf.

I've cried enough tears now. Or thats what I thought. Somehow my tears can't dry out for you. I've scrolled through enough pictures to make my heart ache for you. I think it will be much worst the next few days when reality has sunk in when i open the garage door and not seeing you there. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. But I will stay strong. I will for you as you have always done for me. I will push on just like you have always done for me. You were always there. Thank you for being part of my life nicky. Thank you.

Where's the good in goodbye?
There's no fair in farewell.

Anyeong.

GUESS WHO IS FREE LIKE A BIRD...

Finally exams are over!!! Do you know how awesome it feels to wake up to a day filled with no plans, no  stress, no nothing? I can sleep till 12 and not feel guilty about it.
Ending our papers at 8pm haven't exactly been the most exciting thing over the past week, but hey if its over, i don't really care..All of the papers were good except econs so..crossing fingers!

CHOOSING YOUR NEXT STEP.
holy shit. I never knew choosing a university would be this stressful. Usyd Vs UNSW
I've spent nearly an hour reading forums and feedback pages on which is better but I don't exactly know what "theory based" etc means and all seem biased :/ ITS STRESSFUL I TELL YOU.

But yep, just a little over a week till i'm home sweet home (: CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MY FLUFFY!

Over this year as much as I hate the money sucking foundation and unilodge, i'm very thankful for the wonderful people i've met, the lovely memories shared, and the experiences i've gained. Nothing can ever replace this. You see the tops at their worst, the bottoms at their best. After coming here i've judged a whole lot more, but it opens my eyes to those who i thought they were but turned out to be someone different.

Never underestimate the power of innocence.




Anyeong!

No one can but you.

Rise & Fall

ITS NOVEMEBER BABY.
NO TO ALL THE SHITS I'VE BEEN THROUGH,
NO TO ALL THE EXCUSES AND CRAPS I'VE PUT UP WITH
NO TO GIVING UP.




So in approximately 4 hours i will be sitting for my Math paper..so i'm really not sure why i'm blogging today.. BUT SINCE I'M PROCRASTINATING, HERE I AM.
Shout out to Nik who drops by and leaves a message by the side from time to time. HAI NIK I MISS YOU. PS. our skype date has failed once again. HAHA after my exams ya?

so literally for the past 3 weeks I have been stressing my ass off about this whole immigration shit, but ITS SETTLED FINALLY, AND I'M NOT MISSING CNY YAAAAYYY (ok so again blogspot can't insert a less than three and when I did it messed up the whole formatting resulting me in retyping half of this..asdlkfjhsf) BUT YES CONTINUING...
Thank the heavens for giving me the strength and patience for putting up with certain people and their stubborn-ness and shits. Especially my mum for supporting me all the way, trying to satisfy both parties, but always keeping an open mind.
SO NOW PUTTING THIS BEHIND ME I SHALL BREATHE AND FINALLY FOCUS ON MY EXAMS.
Speaking of exams, do you know how sian it is to continuously study for hours straight? Half way through you're not even sure if anything is going through.

Haha just the other day I was talking to my sis of how i'm afraid of commitment. There I said it. You have to be real special to get me to move my ass off my bed for you man. LOL.

ANYWAY JUST A WEEK AND A DAY LEFT TO FREEDOM. I SHALL CONQUER THIS, OR SCREW IT, BUT EITHER WAY I WILL GET IT DONE.

anyeong!
I feel the beat rise and fall~

No Good in Goodbye.

People fall in love in mysterious ways.

Don't you think Ed Sheeran looks like Rupert Grint?
BUT ANYWAY I've finally finished watching the whole series of Harry Potter IN ORDER.
And can I say, It was AMAZING. 2001-2011.
There are very few things that I have great feels for when I've finished watching.
First of all time was FRIENDS. Now HP is on the list too.
I realised maybe its because I've watched both series season/movie in order and consecutively, so the relationships formed between the characters make me feel so much for all of them.

ITS OCTOBER OMGAH.
how time flies.

Here I am typing this when I'm supposed to be doing work..yes exams are in 1.5 weeks ):
Have I memorized anything? Nope.
Am I prepared? Obviously nope.
Will I cry in the exam room? Probably.

HAHA.
But no really, how time flies.
It was as if just yesterday was the first day of school.
Somehow, this year passed by like the speed of lightning.
They may say time passes when you're having fun. This ain't the case though..
I can honestly tell you i'm not having as much as my fellow friends back in SG.
I see pictures, I envy them.
I see celebrations that I miss, I envy them.
I see connections, I envy them.
I see memories made, I envy them.

I can't particularly say I hate it here...
My roomie Priya is awesome, and when I mean awesome, its like no other words. I wouldn't think I'll survive in this room without her.
What I've learnt about the Chinese? Like the chinese-chinese?
You can't know when they're genuine. Only the rare few, those shy and those who shun away. Those who wear ordinary clothes that try to hide them instead of make them stand out. When you eventually make an effort to get to know them, they're not really trying to hide, they're just the ones who bother more about their work than attention.

Lovely weather, lovely festivals, but when? with who? The friends you can't tell who are genuine or not?
I can't remember the last time I've laughed like I mean it when I'm out. I miss it. I miss the times when I was genuinely happy everyday and actually looking forward to class because of the people in it (not really the lessons haha).
Now, its like I go to class because I have to, not because I want to. Because I want to achieve that perfect 100% attendance at the end of the year on my cert. Because I can't find any motivation.

Do you know what's it like to lose motivation?
Its one thing when you have friends around you. Its another when you're alone.
And its not as if you can share this feeling.
Those who will mock you for studying too much and tell you to stop talking. Obviously not them.
Those who can't even bother about their studies. Don't even think bout' it.
Those who count on you to perform well. Not the same old stories thanks but no thanks.
Those who takes everything for granted just because they're rich. Nope not you either.
Those who claims everything is easy for me because I'm supposedly smart. I'm not, have you seen the rest back home?
Those who says Australia's stuff is shit easy. Screw you I don't know why I'm friends with you.

I love my friends back home. But i just don't have the energy sometimes. I love their support, but they can't be there always. They've already surpassed their obligation just to talk to me and get to see whatsup with my life here (given that i'm so far plus the time difference- special shout out to Hills who ALWAYS no matter what shits, she always still keeps in contact with me). And i'm thankful for that. I can't ask for more.

In about 3.5 weeks, all of this will be over and I will try to appreciate life abit more.
You have no idea how excited I am to get home (:



Where's the soul in soldier on?

anyeong!
