i watch the sun rise today from the dark grey of tinted window and my eyes are a little tired from screen and a whole night, but that's just one day past. one less.
thinking lyrically, no literature, just words that sound comfortable in sequence, you wouldn't have to stop.
one less, one less
one day maybe i'll find a tune for it all
"Maybe i would become a mermaid… i would live in the swirling blue-green currents, doing exotic underwater dances for the fish, kissed by sea anemones, caressed by seaweed shawls. I would have a dolphin friend. He would have merry eyes and thick flesh of a god. My fingernails would be tiny shells and my skin would be like jade with light shining through it I would never have to come back up."

The summer that I'd turned 18 was especially hot; the sun was beating down upon my cheeks and my shirt stuck to my skin like a tattoo. I could hear my heartbeat above the force of the wind, the pressure of the universe weighing down upon my spirit and the occasional airplanes that chose to fly low over the vast stretches and stretches of corn and daffodil fields. It sounded like a code that only my heart and mind could understand if they only could work in sync, but both were like a brick path that diverged, one to the woods and the other to neverwhere. Then, at 18, when I'd thought that the world and my future was just hovering on the horizon waiting for me, and happiness could possibly be within reach, I finally realised what people talk about when they talked about love; what they could possibly mean when their eyes warmed up and voices softened only to speak of an emotion that many would feel but rarely mutually shared.
I don't know when this thought stayed in my mind but I'd always believed that love was only for two disconnected souls trying to ease loneliness that collected in the back of their throats like sawdust, and no matter how they'd tried to wash it down, it stayed there like a sugar lump, raw, choking and unbearable. Maybe that's why first times seldom end with: see those two? They are in love; because love, like all else in the world, required something more than mere fate, or coincidence or the conspiracy of the entire universe to secure one's destiny, or as lovers would say, with a hint of romance, kismet. Yet, love could just be eternally flawed. Because love was hardly self-sacrificial and all together overwhelming and consuming, that it was the saddest thing in the world when love ended with so many could-have-beens. It doesn't matter how much one tries to remember strawberry-and-sunshine cream puff sort of sweetness that kept your right hand in her left palm because ultimately, love tinged with regrets had always tasted bitter.

Christmas was yesterday and I have yet to finish my cards I am so hopeless haha they shall be new year cards instead. ^^
it occurred to me that interior design should be about making the inhabitants feel at home, or at least because the home is reflective of the people in it, thats what interior design should be aiming for. of course its nice like on reality tv where you send someone on a vacation and they come back with with a brand new home but what if after that they feel like they're living in a showflat and feeling uncomfortable and out of place? it would be best if, upon hiring a designer, to work out everything with them! for the perfect home where, as you come home, you exhale everything out and go yessss, i'm home. though it would be very agonising and people who hire designers are usually those with money and no time or with no sense of style. but, it would be nice.
i'm tired i think, but i can't put my head down on the pillow. i can't. not that it's not even my pillow -_- the pillow i chose was with me for all of 3 or 4 months then my maid aired them and now i have no idea under which head it is. which is one of the things that really annoy me at home. the way how i never get my towels back either -_-
i'm just left with silence, i think.
oh, where are you?

Little things which've happened this week made me feel quite blessed.
- Gerald offered to carry my pipa when I passed the score stand to him just cos the pipa was heavier. Guy with pipa really look damn gay lor, and he knows it HAHA. And I still owe you your KOI! :D
- Eunice brought Pocky to YEC meeting specially for Jocelyn and me! !!!
- Jocelyn automatically passed the strawberry one to me. Idk if she really remembered that I liked the strawberry more than the chocolate but if she really did wah I'm very happy. ^^
- Elise's mummy and daddy insisted on sending me home even though I live in Hougang and they live in Toa Payoh (totally out of the way from Newton) and they sent me right to my block... The last time her daddy sent me home, he lost his way while going back.
- Guy who was beside us was super warm. I like friendly people!
- A cab driver refused to take a tip. So nice.
- The supervisor (I think) at the event called a cab in for us and paid for the cab (he had thought we wanted to go back to school from Pasir Ris that'll be like at least 20?!!). Speaking of which, I took 3 cabs on that dumb day! Waste money luh. ._.
- Wangzhi made this montage cum ecard kinda thing for the SDMA group and I smiled watching it. ^^
Merry Christmas!
Ye Eun's story and Connie's voice make this a touching song. (:
lol my fucking sister did the most fucking retarded shit a while ago.
i woke up and decided to lie in for a bit, then went out to get my towel to shower, trying not to wake her, but as i was opening the door to the toilet (for some reason somebody locked it -_-) so it made this big noise and woke her up -_-
AND THEN
she barged straight to the toilet, and put her underwear there, then barged right out again while i was coming in with my jeans and tshirt -_- then she went to take her towel and just put it there too even though my jeans, shirt and towel were all there
i got my underwear and stood there watching her like she was some mad cow (actually she probably is one kind of species) then she started throwing out my stuff and i was like WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU
crazy woman

went to bed, didn't sleep.
head feels trapped beneath crusted grime and dirt accumulated over two filthy years, too much shopaholic style thoughts going round in brain.
she never does change her writing style, does she.

while walking home today a shower started in a second and within seconds it was full fledged pouring, so i just.. walked. and saw some guy with an artemis fac shirt thats one year older than ours. thats weird i wasn't aware of more hwach people in my area. anyway another of those showers just began and it's just ended, in a matter of 10 seconds. -_-
i'm bored to nuts. also starting to reread shopaholic stuff so please tell me if you have any i can borrow if you don't mind lending! got sister and baby down, and also rereading undomestic goddess and reading can you keep a secret. kinsella characters are basically the same anyway!
laziness is getting to me. i think of all sorts of things i can do but when i get to the computer nothing comes out.
and kiki's delivery and totoro have all been sold out, stupid picturehouse has such only one tiny theatre. okay things to do, go zoo and starbucks to check them out, find piano pieces to play, prac erhu, find out how to get apps done (does anyone know?), get more music, clear ipod (which means listening to all the weird crap i've thoughtlessly put in, oh no) ...okay i'm wasting my life away.
...and everyone else is busy!

If I lived alone, I'd probably be like severely underweight or something cos I'm really lazy to cook. ._. There's even resistance for me to get up to cook a pack of instant noodles zzz.
Unfortunately I don't. So I end up like this. ^^

is having nothing important on schedule a valid reason for tremulous chores?
taiwan was ...too many days i think, but we didn't really waste them so i guess that was okay. had its boring and funny moments. now that i finally sit down to type about it there's not much for me to say?
bought lots of stuff, but there are only clothes, or i'm missing something. replaced my flats, got a pair of slip-ons (i saw the one i like online! but didn't get those), another hoodie, a tshirt, a wallet, a bag, 6 pairs of socks. presents drained nearly half my money! tourist traps grr. went to all the important places like the museum, the chiang kai shiek hall, zoo, rock formations, old streets, good food and stuff. too much beef noodles, hurray for bargaining and flexible traffic conduct. and the big bang theory!
mrt was like normal except kept taking wrong trains to wrong destinations, got lost (or separated) in night markets, got a w-inds. poster, got a coupla pens (0.25!!) and refills, oh and chuboy's return present! he should be back by now? wanna go library, ignore uni apps. sigh. i think i got better at bridge, because of the incessant playing while we had time to kill in and around the place. ximending wasn't as great as i expected, maybe we got there too early or something in the afternoon.
want another trip someplace cheap with a theme park for 2 or 3 days with another small group (4's a good number, good for splitting gst and taxi fare lol) and have a good time. getting increasingly worried.

I was reading a blog of Yonghwa's fan from China and it is pretty awesome cos it's like a totallllll compilation of his news and photos. In a language I can actually understand but what disturbs me is how she analyses and names the C.N.Blue members like, "发现!!红裤子也是多毛族!" and Yonghwa is called "红裤子~勇华弟弟" haiyo so erxin why is she analysing if he has a lot of hair?!! and there are lots more of them, tak boleh tahan! >< Shivers la., :x!
it's 3 just got back shower and then i'll post a little.
SHELDON.
