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

Jay Chou's collection cd, Skinfood

Jeniece's nyan cat, Harrods bag

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. :)

something 'bout love

Reading ‘The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon’ by Stephen King now and it’s quite a good book. Finished with ‘Pig Island’ today and the ending was really a twist in the plot… Extremely great thriller, and definitely not for the faint-hearted ’cause there are some disgusting parts. But still, i like it a lot.

Feels quite good being so relaxed after such a long time, but i’m feeling kinda empty though it’s only the second day after chinese o’s. Nevertheless, i’m gonna spend my holidays well since next year’s break will not really be like a break. Shall go paint my nails soon, read my books and watch forensic heroes 3 (which sadly is ending).

No plans for tomorrow in the day, sending my aunty and her family off to korea for their holiday and then dinner with another of my aunt.

Leaving you guys with this smexy picture……

gotta be you

My favorite and most talented singer on this earth. :)

Absolutely can’t wait for tomorrow!! Release of jay’s album. His first 4 songs that are already on youtube have been really good, and the rest will definitely not be a disappointment. :)

you are the apple of my eye

‘我也终于学会, 不用伤口, 就记住青春里最重要的事’

我很喜歡妳 非常喜歡妳 總有一天 一定會追到妳

那些年, 我们一起追的女孩 with my mum yesterday, linyao and her friend were 2 rows in front of us. :) I love the show so much it’s really good! No regrets watching it, but shen jiayi’s husband at the end of the show was really anti climax.

The male lead’s so much better. :)

Btw,

This picture of him….. :)

mine mine

Finally got my computer back, and i just had to blog about jay chou’s new song!! :)

The moment i watched this video, i cannot express my feelings on how proud i am of jay chou. His dancing has improved so much over a span of these few years, and yes i’m so proud of him. :) This song has been on replay since yesterday and he NEVER fails to surprise me with his new music videos.

Another of his new song. 11112011, really anticipating jay’s latest album :)

where do we go from here

So it’s finally the end of school life for 2011, eoys and hectic lessons over. Left with chinese o’s and we’re good to go for senior high. I’m already starting to miss 4F a lot even though it’s barely a day since school closed. I’m not a person good with words and expression of feelings, hence the crappy speech during class today. But i’m just gonna type everything out here, and leave it as memory.

When we first received the class posting results, the only few people i knew in the class were sherlyn, qinni, katherine, sek ee and george. And for the next few days, sherlyn and i were busy flipping through the year books and scrolling through facebook to find out our future classmates. We were intrigued by names like John etc and we sure had a tough time trying to find out who you were john :) Not to forget the twins, yin yin and wei wei. We sweared to make friends with them back then, but i guess we didn’t really succeed did we sherlyn? :) But nonetheless, there were funny moments we had with the twins during lessons and though we were really bad sometimes, i hope they didn’t take it to heart. :) Our first class chalet with each other was good, second one this year, even better. :) You guys taught me a lot throughout these two years, how not to judge someone by their looks; how to be addicted to iphone games; how to speak great english/chinese (huihsien and linyao respectively); how to play stupid games like handiplast (??) and many many more. We stay out late after celebrations playing really random games and telling ghost stories (which are usually pretty unsuccessful). I guess i’ll really miss those times. Everything typed out here seems so cliche but it’s everything deep down from my heart. I might have offended some of you, but at the end of this journey, i just wanna say sorry and thank you guys for forgiving me (if you haven’t, i hope you will) and still giving me a chance to be your friend. These 2 years, have been hell of a ride for me, whether is it academic or cca. But every morning when i step into the class, i’m really grateful for this bunch of people and i guess God has been fair to me by giving me this opportunity to get to know all 35 of you. 4F has given me a lot of memories to remember, and i won’t forget them. I’ll miss linyao’s singing, sherlyn’s random shoutings in class, yongxin’s extremely gay actions, yuxuan’s suckerpongness, huihsien’s extra-dramatic-yet-extra-funny speeches, benedict’s crane folding and cat drawing skills, maria’s tumblr-stalking, huili and ruiwen’s retardness when they are together, and so much more. After this year, we might stay as friends or become strangers. But no matter what, i hope that we’ll always remember each other and every single moment we all had together. :)

当不能拥有时，唯一能做的就是令自已不要忘记 :)

Training today was a mega screwed up. First was the cleaning up of the wet floor @ the basketball court with newspapers, then the extremely shitty game play at the end. I’ve no idea what’s wrong with me, or rather i guess my skills have always been one of a mediocre just that i chose not to face it. On the way home, i’ve been wondering whether i’ve made the right choice by joining back the sport i’ve played for 8 years. And i no longer know whether i’ve the energy to continue playing this sport anymore.
