what fades away

So recently, i've finished all my library books and finally got started on Life Without Limits.

The introduction was stunning and thought-provoking, definitely leaving me all stoked about the rest of the book. Nick Vujicic truly inspires me and touches my heart. Really.

You may hit hard times. You may fall down and feel as though you don't have the strength to get back up. I know the feeling, mate. We all do. Life isn't always easy, but when we overcome challenges, we become stronger and more grateful for our opportunities. What really matters are the lives you touch along the way and how you finish your journey.

No arms, no legs, no limits.

Thursday: Met up with linyao after she came back from china! :) Went over to tampines mall for our lunch before we headed over to the library to get linyao's english book. And then we decided to go down to orchard to check out those a&f hunks. But they were gone cause a&f opened on the day we went :'(((((

Anyway christmas's round the corner and there's volleyball camp on wednesday - friday. :( Hope all goes well!!

Have been getting out of the house pretty often recently hence the lack of posts but i'll do one up soon ;)

the heart says so

Haven't been going out much recently. Been stuck at home, but spending time watching Secret Garden though i've finished the series. Changi city point last week! Spent all my time in the nike factory outlet and cotton on. Time well spent though! Went out to Takashimaya on saturday with my mum, and we had this extremely good Hokkaido ice-cream there! That was all actually. Didn't get much stuff since we went there a few days back.

Gonna rewatch you are the apple of my eye online soon, though the quality's really quite bad since it's not the official video. But still whoop!!

From Secret Garden,

Joo-won: Who raised you?
Ra-im: I grew up on my own.
Joo-won: On what money?
Ra-im: What the government gave me.
Joo-won: So all my taxes went to you.
Ra-im: Does it seem like a waste?
Joo-won: I should’ve paid more, if I knew I was raising you.
Ra-im: When I look at you like this, you’re not a total jerk.

After watching Secret Garden, i've rekindled my love................for hyun bin. :) :) :) :) :)

Though i would very much prefer his outlook in My Lovely Samsoon than in Secret Garden :'((((


Some of my favourite quotes from the show,

“There are things that are thought of as fantasies merely because they’re far away. Starry bodies are like that. Just as it is with people who are too beautiful, they readily disappear – In the books that I’d read to find out what he’s really like, this was a passage that had long settled in my heart. It’s now that I realize it, how beautiful a person he is. And therefore, how far away he is from me. He’ll disappear someday, too, like people do when they’re too beautiful.”

“Where on earth is a woman who’ll jump at the chance to happily and beautifully cultivate a love that’ll just turn to bubbles? Nowhere in the world is there a woman who will start a love, giving up the ending. That’s why we’ll never work. We have no answer.”

"Are you that weak? Even if the distance seems far, run after him. Even if it feels like he isn’t next to you, grab on to him."

"Being unable to eat and sleep is the basic thing. Waking up in the middle of the night will become a daily routine. Because the one you love has turned into someone else, you also can’t whine to each other for the fear of being scolded by that person. So, you cry by yourself. But what hurts the most is that person doesn’t actually miss me like the way I do. It’s like that person has forgotten about me and is simply being happy alone. All you want to do is die, but you can’t die either… because you’re scared that you won’t see that person again."

"I hope you’ll see the things I see. You’ll stand at the window where I stand, and lie down in the bed where I lie down, and read the books I read. If we could be together, even in that way… then that’s enough. Let’s think of it as being together. That’s enough for us to consider ourselves as happy as other lovers."



This show gets sadder by the episode :'(((((((((( , but this never fails to crack me up

Could this be an eye scanner?

i'll love you to the moon and back

Dreams are always crushing when they don't come true. But it's the simple dreams that are often the most painful because they seem so personal, so reasonable, so attainable. You're always close enough to touch, but never quite close enough to hold and it's enough to break your heart.

-Nicholas Sparks, Three Weeks With My Brother

It happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you've known forever don't see things the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on.

-Nicholas Sparks

After careful consideration and many sleepless nights, here's what i've decided. There's no such thing as a grown-up. We move out, we move away from our families. But the basic insecurities, the fears and all the old wounds just grow up with us. Just when you think life has forced to truly become an adult, your mother says something like that. We get bigger, taller, older. But for the most part, we're still a bunch of kids, running around the playground, trying desperately to fit in.

-Grey's Anatomy, via eletheowl

Reality of fear: You're not scared of the dark; you're scared of what's in it. You're not afraid of heights; you're afraid of falling. You're not afraid of the people around you; you're afraid of rejection. You're not afraid to love; you're just afraid of not being loved back. You're not afraid to let go; you're just afraid of accepting the fact it's gone. You're not afraid to let go; you're afraid of getting hurt for the same reason.

或许, 在另一个平行时空里, 我们是在一起的

until the end of time

Went down to the bookfest at suntec on saturday with my mum. Got red mango along the way and it was really good!! Missed the times there with rachel (and all the weird people) at burger king mugging for end of years.

There was a whole load of people at the convention hall and i could barely walk normally without banging into someone. My mum was worse with the trolley though, getting stuck almost every 5 min! Got 4 you are the apple of my eye books in all, norwegian wood, one day and many others!! Wanted to stay to watch giddens at 7 but we were too tired lugging all the stuff around we decided to leave. Extremely happy with the things i got. :)

Yesterday was out celebrating ruiwen's 16th! Met erika and the rest at paya lebar, and then we went to the void deck under ruiwen's block with the cake and everything. Went up to her house and slacked around watching spongebob and kungfu panda. Best part was watching Wipeout!!! We laughed like the whole house was gonna collapse and windows were about to shatter cause it was hell funny. Left at 6 plus with the rest, and headed home feeling really tired. But it was a great day out with the girls. :)
