i get so tired when its nearing the end of the school day..
and the heat and humidity just makes everything worse.
then in the bus i sit down and like, wana die.. lol.

i've still got a mountain of untouched A maths homework (tuition and school),
lots of tests to study for,
and lots of things to revise for the mid years.
guh.

meanwhile i can't really learn much bossa nova,
cuz i have to do WORK,
so i only practice what i already know.
='(

everything would be so different if we had tangible evidence to support our faith,
but what would faith be for if there was tangible evidence?

anyway,
i've realized that the few things i'm clinging on to,
they won't work out.
as much as i wish it would.
so, its okay i guess (actually its not..)
i'll, try to.. move on?
and start studying..

i'm just tired..
of all this emotions that're weighing me down.

Linkin park - somewhere i belong


(when this began)
I had nothing to say 
and i get lost in the nothingness inside of me 
(i was confused) 
and i let it all out to find, that i'm not the only person with these things in mind 
(inside of me) 
but all that they can see,  the words revealed 
is the only real thing that i got left to feel 
(nothing to lose) 
just stuck hollow and alone 
and the fault is my own and the fault is my own 

i wanna heal i wanna feel what i thought was never real 
i wanna let go of the pain i've felt so long. 
erase all the pain till its gone 
i wanna heal i wanna feel like im close to something real. 
i wanna find something i've wanted all along 
somewhere i belong 

and i got nothing to say. i cant believe i didn't fall right down on my face 
(i was confused) 
lookin everywhere only to find. 
thats its not the way i had imagined it all in my mind. 
(so what am i) 
what do i have but negativity 
cuz i cant justify the way everyone is looking at me 
(nothing to lose) 
nothing to gain, hollow and alone 
and the fault is my own 
and the fault is my own 

I will never know myself until i do this on my own 
and i will never feel anything else until my wounds are healed 
i will never be anything till i break away from me 
i will break away. i'll find myself today .

i really wonder,
looking at myself,
what really goes on deep down in people's hearts.
under the smiles, under the small little shows of sadness that i sometimes see.
how much chaos is raging in the one small organ called the heart.
i wonder if everyone really has lots of raw emotions running around inside,
and i wonder if the people i see everyday are actually silently crying out.

i wonder what it'd be like if everyone could express their fears, their regrets, all their feelings about something.
but thats impossible right?
after whole lifetimes spent trying to fit in and trying to make sure people don't think you're idiotic or anything.



The time was 5:19 PM

did the disc profiling thing today during student leader's convention..
yayes~
i wanted to see if i've changed..
and my results did la..
from being an sc in pri school i think,
to cs in sec 2 or something..
my results today was: i'm a high C.
and C people tend to be analytical, calculative, cynical, and emotional.. their greatest fear is criticism..
BUT i think i'm still a CS coz i have quite a bit of S personality in me too.
and S's greatest fear is conflict.
yeap.
thats about all i can remember.

i wrote this, yeah.

people full of angst.
full of emotions that can't be expressed.

different lives,
different things we don't let out.

we wanna know why others are down,
to leave our own problems behind.

hoping maybe being able to help others
would make us feel better.
feel more in control.

you won't understand why what i'm facing affects me that much,
just like how i won't understand why what you're facing affects you that much.

if i asked you if u've been through what i have,
you'd say no.
and if you asked me the same thing,
i'd say no as well.

but there is one other thing,
one other reason why i wanna know whats getting you down.

that is, seeing you in so much pain,
it makes me hurt as well.

being so helpless while you go through all that agony
alone in your heart,
having nothing to say to make it better.

all you can do for me,
and all i'm asking,
is for you to give me just a little bit of your burden to share.
i'd gladly help you carry that weight.

yeah, maybe wanting to help is for selfish reasons,
so i won't feel so helpless,
so i won't have to wallow in my own world of misery,
but if i asked you why you wanted to know my problems,
what would your answer be?



The time was 9:28 PM
i seriously felt like punching something today,

so full of angsty emotions that can't be expressed.
yeap.

today i went to ikea for lunch with poon!
and the place was scarily crowded.
lesson learnt today: don't go to ikea on a sunday.
and then the queue for the food so long,
and there was a short circuit in the place.. they couldn't fry the chicken wings lol!
but after a while it was okay.

then we both got 10 meatballs for $5,
and a lot of other stuff la..

i was so full after that.
i'll be quite sick of ikea food for a while now.. haha.

heres acoustic version of 'how to save a life' by the fray.

i laughed till i teared..!

we thought this guy in the class had an.. erm.. erection,
then the E maths teacher went,"eh, aren't you a bit old to be having unexplained erections?"
LOL.
so the class cooled down a bit after laughing so hard,
and then the teacher was staring at the guy,
then the guy put his hand in his pants or something!
and the teacher was like,"EH THERES A LADY SITTINGBESIDE YOU LEH!"
ROFL.
it turned out the guy had put his small bottle of deodorant in his pants.

i don't know why but i always seem to be feeling tired nowadays.
now one side of my head seems to be aching.
like a migraine or something but thats not exactly it..
must be cuz of pe.
haha.

feels like the week's been kinda slow yet fast at the same time.
oh and its been like a week full of tests so far.
coming soon are chem qualitative analysis test, physics test, english compre common test..
and i just remembered i have A maths homework to do thats due tmr.
i haven't done any work so far, mostly just blogging and facebook-ing and guitar-ing. sigh.

heey gosh i seem to have no life anymore!!!
all i can think of to talk about is studies leh!
and the occasional 'guitar' or 'outing' word in my blog entries.
argh!

I CAN'T WAIT TO FINISH OS.
and at the same time i wish there was more time to slack.
i'm lazy to start studying.
so i think i'd better start going to the library again. =/


Monday, March 2, 2009
The time was 9:17 PM

felt so tired today..
maybe its the weather,
but i felt like i really didn't want to go on doing this anymore.
'this' as in, stressing myself out about Os.
really really tired..
i complained to cherlyn, haha.

and its not the studying thats killing me.
its that i know i need to study but i never seem to get down to doing it.
and then its always on my mind,
that i need to study, i neeed to study.
how many more months till mid years?
till Os?
and still i haven't even started revising.

guh, this is tiring shit man.
but i guess giving up is harder than it seems, haha.
everything around me is pushing me, so i can't stop.
wish there was another dimension i could go to, where theres no one else,
and a year there would be a second here.
then i could hide there until i got sick of it,
and come back to do something more meaningful with my life.
like, STUDY FOR MY OS and get that 6 POINTS for L1R2B2
so i can get into PSYCHOLOGY in TP which has a cop of 8 POINTS.

x_x

but yeah,
i remember that i've asked God to get me into that course, with my points at six.
so, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; 
knock, and it will be opened to you."
all i have to do is have faith.
so i'll hold on to that faith.

ah, jia you to me luh.
=_=|||
got chem test tmr,
physics test on thurs,
english compre test on friday.

oh and there are a lot of reaaaly nice black and white photos here if u wana see.
i just remembered that photography depends a lot on luck. haha
go look at the pics!



The time was 12:06 AM

statistics really pissed me off..
stupid textbook didnt help me understand the thing at all.
=_=|||

didnt study until after i reached home, which was after dinner.
plus, i played a bit of guitar.
argh.

sigh.

i was in quite a bad mood today.
