It is hard when as much as you want it to stop but it just keeps on coming. It is even harder when you know that in reality there will never be a period. You just know that the ounces of effort you need to toil to obliterate will turn out as bad as the feelings that you have amassed and harboured for so long. Effort that is just too much it consumes you and at the same time you know that if no closure is made, you are at the throngs of the extent of your own emotions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;either way, life just know its way of engulfing your soul and leave you flailing like a helpless bird with no wings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;It is not that my life was never filled with laughters for me to even be writing this depressing piece of turmoil. There are countless many. It is just that when there is/was a wrong trigger, all sorts of emotions to which i havent garnered enuf speed to even account for will start spinning in fast dizzying whirls. Whirls that will leave me all heady soon after. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;All emotions that i know if i think hard enuf will have its history and traces but just a matter of which to which. If this world wont take me for a lunatic, i might just log and date em.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Im not a product of a broken family for people to even deserve reading this entry. Im not even a goner the way i see it. Im still that girl who knows how to hope and still have that faith and tenacity to cling on to every single scrap of hope left for her. But this is just one of those times that i will admit that i feel like im at my weakest. It makes one feel so pathetic and weak when you dun even know how to contain your emotions and not let them toy, coodle and convulate with your thoughts too much. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;I miss those times when my dad used to be normal. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Normal enough to chat with us on a more daily basis so that i dun have to post such entries and be in a constant motion of hate just to feel him. Normal enough to have the instincts of a father who deliberate the vast impacts of his actions before pouncing and to understand what we are actually feeling as a family. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Normal enuf to know who he really is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Normal enough to buy us treats. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;I miss those days when i anticipate him coming back home as a normal dad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;I miss that day when he surprised me and my sis with our &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;'little tike house'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. The very reason why i din want it to be thrashed as its my only remnant of my once normal dad. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;If i were to retrace, it was too long ago. Ive missed so many days, months and years of getting to be around a normal dad who by some unspeakable charismatic means usually channel their strengths to daughters. Though i do have to say that all those moments of seeing him go thru his life have converged to provide for enough strength for me to not live the life he leads. A strength ive grown and learnt to gather on my own. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;This is not even about hating the things he do and for making life difficult for me but more of how ive hated what he is now. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Nevertheless, its important for you all to know that i love my dad all the same.&lt;/span&gt; The more i hate the things he do, the more i feel for him. And that i should not divulge and leave him flailing helplessly. I still have that same spot he used to fill for him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Selfishly, a lot of maladjustments had to be made by far eversince he lost his normalcies. Its obviously not helping in alleviating the sorrows i have inside but all this while ive appeared nonchalant and ridiculously ecstatic. It will remain that way for a very long time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;I rather keep the doors to the dark side slammed shut and even if you have to i'll just let you in for a peek. Just do me a favour if you happen to read this blog and you know me all too well after reading this by not asking questions that will get an emotional landslide in tow. Save me the shame of letting me in on how stupid of me to even feel all these.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Just ask me hows my day and i'll say its all fine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;And when i say that, just do be rest assured that it really was fine. And that i really am all fine. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Like i said tis is all meant to be a closure for me, myself and i. Dun butt unnecessarily if u dun know the right way to.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;How i wish i can have 14 days in a week, 24 months in a year and 730 days in a &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;year.

These needs are arranged in a hierarchy where the higher needs come into focus when lower needs are satisfied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Maslow's theory intuitively makes sense in general, aint it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;BUT, I personally think it is an ill-conceived concept that limits people in their struggle to live fullfilled lives the way it is. The notion of happiness is encapsulated in satisfying needs. In reality people overestimate the impact of satisfying a need. Like how wanting to buy that pencil case bt just cant ..can make me feel so down cos I feel its a need to never let ur sisters down. And you want to satisfy that need so bad that it makes you feel all battered. hah a bit too overblown there bt hell, you get it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;I think that the struggle of satisfying needs and avoiding pain is a major source of unhappiness in our society today. It is time we eradicate Maslow's theory. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;till i get her that pencil case, i noe she'll be dropping pinsized hints.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;i'll get for her alrite, when im not so financially challenged.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;that's that. lets detach..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;mum is doin her equipose of banishing my dad to the outer reaches and dropping her voice to the lowest register in instances like when she told me to: 'cook for your dad as well' (tis means that she hadnt ignored him completely). shes the hallmark of theatrical genius i tell ya. drama mama..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;and my dad..hes been staring into that lifeless square wif strings of numbers so long and graphs much that i swear i wun wana see numbers and plunging and skyscraping graphs for the next decade if i were him. what made him think that this robotic square box could promise him the life he wishes for all of us through such lifelessness of that machine, im yet to find out. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;or maybe i shudnt even bother, cos if i do i might just derail his/her life. its that bad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;they have been goin on like tis on and off since...not the faintest idea.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;oh well, i grant them that &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;merci&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;ive been ms tolerant that long.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;maybe tis way my life will hold more shades of colours...&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;more drama&lt;/span&gt;. woots!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14446468-670752465968253623?l=retracethesteps.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://retracethesteps.blogspot.com/feeds/670752465968253623/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14446468&amp;postID=670752465968253623' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14446468/posts/default/670752465968253623'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14446468/posts/default/670752465968253623'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://retracethesteps.blogspot.com/2008/12/when-unlike-poles-repel-and-mr-maslow.html' title='when unlike poles repel and mr maslow was all wrong'/><author><name>emo shenanigan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10480598469401477208</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14446468.post-3327679593911680541</id><published>2008-12-11T02:37:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T04:19:40.358+08:00</updated><title type='text'>close your mouth mr hippotamus</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;The past 4 hrs or so was the last day of Hari Raya Haji. But not the last of sacrifices that have to be made by humankind for the betterment of others and oneself. Like the words of Hellen Keller,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;"Many persons have the wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;This world sure is a fast dizzying game - a roller coaster, throwing you terrified of every sharp bends, but while the journey lasts, you will soak in the moment; soaking wif excitement; wanting to get to the top of urself and just scream like a banshee with a mirror flashed in the face. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Without knowing or feigning to not know, your neighbours for the ride could have had their ears defunct or racked and misshapened their eardrums, leaving them deftone for their entire livedom.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Cant point fingers at roller coasters to be the objects of blame, they are not the 'deaf'-endents here. My point was, you cant just brush off everything in ur path to get what you want, to get to the peak of ur life literally by deafening others around you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;You get the thrill you wanted, let out ur griefs and woes as you scream at the top of ur ribcages but at the 'deaf' of others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Why deafening others on a roller coaster ride should even be blown out of proportion you say?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Then just consider how sacrificing dun even bat the eyelashes of people or wince at the thought of it among all else capital.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;It seems trivial at first but oh-so-not.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Cos all those plaintiffs will press charges for them not being able to differentiate between a 'do' and a 're'. Would have been oh-not-trivial-at-all if the rest of the roller coaster was filled with budding musicians cept you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Therefore this universe does not orbit around you alone. All decisions and actions gravitate upon others, sending them hilter-skilter and off-tangent if you dun weigh the zone of indifference. Life is like breaths drawn from others, like sharing that cycle of air - the carbon cycle or what not...interdependent and intertwined with the lives of others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Its like mountaineering, refusing to help the slower ones which brings nothing but impeding the whole expedition team as they lag and stall. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Hereby sacrifice renders itself to the universe making sense all over again, the one link that fills the spaces between beings of no blood ties; adjoining souls defining the world to not only be plagued by unjustifiable and insatiable human wants. Sacrifice is about not being naked just for clothing but naked for dignity and respect; homeless not for bricks and rooftops but homeless cos of rejection when you lost that dignity.

For us, we liaise wif considerably large corporations who will book us for projects and then scout for new faces or take on available existing models.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Me to myself&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; : &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Ahuhh. So much for calling other agencies desperate. Urs aint any better. What was all the "Our agency is looking for faces to be in Singtel's upcoming commercial" about when nothin bt it was even mentioned during the introductory rite of theirs or watevr. Reeks of desperado mucho to moi, using that tactic as a booby trap. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;And here i am foolhardy to think that they picked us out of simple random selection on that morning at fine and dandy orchard rd and i'll get to be one of those everyday faces in a colossal montage of Singaporeans who subscribe to Singtel (tho ironically im not) as concession to a less soporific holiday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;From this holiday so dreary that i could just peel my skin ( u noe skin that gets soaked in water and swells a whitish fold, oooh i love to peel em') sore and dry, like plucking fur off a Persian cat?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;So dreary that i could just walk the length of Orchard Road wif a getup which looked like i just rammed into a Roman candle.

(in my hart, yae as if, you can bid ur 480 buckeroos bon voyage...rather splurge it on an ipod)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;soon, we &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;treaded out&lt;/span&gt; of the agency.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;The punchline is anyone can be models these days esp wif those bulging faux leather wallets to boot. This industry in Singapore as i see it is deluded. U dun pay 480 buckeroos to clinch a bank job do you? so why does tis has to be any different? Just for tt effing portfolio that they will do up &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;nice nice sui sui&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; for you. Little tt u noe u might look worse than you already are. what if they make you look like this &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;mentel gundu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; here? HAHA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://s17.photobucket.com/albums/b99/hadh18/?action=view&amp;amp;current=DSC00651.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 326px; HEIGHT: 266px" height="600" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b99/hadh18/DSC00651.jpg" width="561" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;or even if you dont, what are the odds of even appearing as endearing to these clients so that they will partake you for their projects? and get future projects? you wouldnt wana stop at one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;If thats the case, forking 480 as investment (as the guy puts it) will make for loss on our side. Its not like i blardy care but wat abt those passionate and hard-up for modeling?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;I mean cant these people just cover the costs of creating our portfolios and then just reap their due and deserved amt from the projects itself? Since its ur responsibility to find clients for every face then it shudnt be a problem for them to keep projects and moolah coming rite? As in it will be of duty for them to find the means possible in their stride to keep them coming? As of now watever this agency and all those in the cahoots are doing seem like they are just falling on the game of heads-and-tail of which of those whose entrance will send blue and orange notes whizzing in their faces.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;just my fifteen cents worth not trying to rough people up the wrong way but blogging is just the economy of speaking my mind for me :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;PEACE.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s17.photobucket.com/albums/b99/hadh18/?action=view&amp;amp;current=neweditedsize.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14446468-1557380692880961227?l=retracethesteps.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://retracethesteps.blogspot.com/feeds/1557380692880961227/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14446468&amp;postID=1557380692880961227' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14446468/posts/default/1557380692880961227'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14446468/posts/default/1557380692880961227'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://retracethesteps.blogspot.com/2008/12/buying-youth.html' title='buying youth?'/><author><name>emo shenanigan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10480598469401477208</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14446468.post-652732073422470684</id><published>2008-10-09T04:47:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-10-09T05:10:13.630+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;here comes nothing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;first SHIT&lt;/span&gt; : I MISSED LIFEHOUSE LIVE AT ST JAMES!!

style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;at this juncture, i still contain the same old fear.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;a fear that i myself just cant comprehend sometimes, though i noe this fear brings me nothing but thrusting me to a losing end..&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span

restrain,...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;it seems like ive been on exile, putting up a facade..&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;why is there such a thing as 'thinking twice before you do things'?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;wouldnt it have been better without it?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;at the very least, i dun have to rethink the consequences my action brings and for once i could b carefree..bt then again that would make me an ignorant person&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;and whats worse when u dun do those things cos u pondered upon them, your life will come to a standstill cos ur aware that nothing much will happen from then onwards. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;things will return to where they are..&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;thats what u contemplated in that process of pondering which was obviously not what was initially intended.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;sometimes, i just wish that heavens above will not just drop hints.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;its exhausting to count all these hints, only to miss them..&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;but then again to miss these hints and expect surprises, is the thrill that life brings.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;and im still hoping and praying for more pleasantries while still giving what i could &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span

As the name goes, contact means more bodily contact thruout game which is equal to risk of aggression)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Been working it all out at the stadium, running wild and free. LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went for Dreamwerkz dance classes with Daniel (the winner of last yr's OVERDRIVE party) as our instructor. Last thursday was our last dance class :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now im short of one past time. Sigh...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SHOPPING. tt is not just another activity, in fact its the inner workings of me. What makes up me, i shall put it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Been going out wif a new accolade of socialites who do not seem to noe the meaning of settling down and fizzle out a little for just a mere second. LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;too restless a gang tt ive been having a share of restless nights wif this lot for the 2nd time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One was a night out till 3 in the morning trading at the top of our lungs at MINDS cafe. HAHAHAAHAH...man i lurvvee Jurassic Jumble ;P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2nd was pigging out at Al-Azhar till bt 1 in the morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hmmmm..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;whats to come for sure is im goin to go clubbing wif Francis n his crew for the first time anytime from today.

Its been a long time since sch and work...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ouhh and a counterpart of the socialite accolade had been making aggressive promotion for his upcoming ODAC 50 bucks package jampacked wif thrills.

/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;on a lighter note, numbered meetings with strikingly congenial personalities throughout my course of job have always made my

tomorrow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;yeah on a saturday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;gosh.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;sometimes i would hear myself dithering and regretting this very position ive put myself into.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;yeah work is a dread albeit of the fun outfield.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;huh, so this is what life is all about.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;when one desires something and he gets it, it becomes overrated after a while and would wish to resume his original stand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;hmm..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;this job im in is like the &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;undoing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; of me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;yeah im all fun n nice when it comes to chatting up with people that so far ive endeared myself in fact very well with strangers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;but theres just something about this job which i cant quite put a finger on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;for certain, its something i will definitely dread doing everyday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;but then again this is not even going to be permanent so i shall have to put up with it for the time being before i get another job.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;i wanted an office job.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;oh yeah man.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;money supercedes even your conscience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;for money, one can even dismiss the pros-and-cons concept of life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;well that explains why a justifiable proportion of beings out there solicit and lay their hands on every possible means to money unimaginable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;anyway, dont get me wrong.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;my job is decent.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span

/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br

/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;im temporarily running aground on the rocks of spiritual enlightenment and hoping that i will brush shoulders with angels speaking of which could

style="color:#660000;"&gt;It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;We ask ourselves, Who am I to be

light shine, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br

getting higher and higher.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;and if you degree holders out there feel that getting 4k in ur pockets a month is a

again.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;how much have ur parents invested for ur education?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br

singapore's context,a local uni at least?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;a bare 20 yrs of ur life..&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;yes im pretty sure of tt.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;20 multiplied by $4K is only $80 000.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;that doesnt even compensate the amount of money we invested on education.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;n we consider $4K a big sum?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;definitely, outrightly not.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;n for all those time being confined within the four walls of school,have we ever asked ourselves what have we been doing with our lives..&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;apart from saturating our brain cells with knowledge that nt many are willed to .&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;nt everybody learns how to thirst for knowledge.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;n because of that we fail to fulfil the rightful purpose of education.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;the acquisition of knowledge and to use that empowerment to benefit other people's lives.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span

/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;why couldnt he stand the 2am one then??&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1 hr before makes a whole lot of difference to 1 hr after.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;whats with him??&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;i tot dads like it when uve made the effort to make a trip journey home n appear at

werent as good as those in cineplexes now. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;i didnt noe nitty-gritty like tis would leave such a lasting impact on him till he had to affect mine.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;he saed he would cut my allowance short if he hear the word

busy.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To us mortals, its thunder, lightning and rain. Actually, truth is, up there, they are at it again, spring-cleaning.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thunder: Moving the monstrous heavy wardrobes but accidentally topple them down the stairs, hence, explain the crashing booming sound of thunder. (Dunch worry, the lower dark clouds will catch their wardrobes, and no, you won't get free clothes.)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lightning: They didn't invest in good lightbulbs like Philips, therefore get flickering lights whenever someone sneezes. (They are real angry they have no Philips, so, hide, their lights can strike and kill.)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rain: Either they are doing a real kind deed to water our plants and flowers, or someone naughty thinks its really funny to pee on us. (Come on, take your best aim, I've got brolly.) &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So the next time it rains, sure, roll your eyes and groan, their homes are way cleaner than yours anyway.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lately, they've been doing a rather critical overhaul.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;this is the time for my clean-out showdown.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;my mind just wandered to the mythical immortals and swashbuckling Hercules, soon after i thought of that analogy that was seriously not sculpted to chide God.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Greek people are fascinating.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;how i wish i was Megara or even Deianira.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;wahas.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;i dun have the least bit idea how maths led me to the Greeks.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ohmigoodness..sometimes i wish i could just work some magic and vanish from this outermost crust of the Earth.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;i wouldnt have to care about A levels, about the major turning point in my life and about almost everything else.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span

style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Everyone needs closure, but not everyone can afford to give it. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Its a selfish act. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br

/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;let me start the ball rolling by talking abt my splendid results for the count.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OO and ungraded(i didnt turn up for chem paper 2), a product of last minute studying i presume..&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;or is it karma for always chiding my sisters off when im simply pms-ing?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;or for cracking up insensitive jokes?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;or for getting on my teacher's nerves for being absent from school with no apparent reasons?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;for the latter, i tink ive blown my cover off when i saed im sick when im not without feigning sick the next day in school..ms chew just had to smirk politely when she came over telling me to account for the 3 days that i was absent. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;things couldnt get any worse when i overheard rumours that all retainees who are not performing up to expectations are to kindly have a tea reception together with our parents and have an unprecedented meeting under an incandescent fluorescent lamp of the principal's office. awww how poignant.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;tipping the balance, i tink im in love with a stranger. a total stranger.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;i tink im wasting my time awae again like how i used to. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;wasted time on opportunities that will never come ..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;wasted time on hanging by the moment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;wasted time on letting myself falter in the formidable matters of the heart&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;wasted time in desperation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;wasted time in the poetic soul of emotions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;wasted time wafting awae into romantic fairytales of white nights and golden domes &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;wasted time into nothingness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;is it worth it to follow my hunch for whatever reasons they may be?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;im too lost in myself or rather the tenacities that ive thrust myself into to even sense what's the hunch. ive lost a fraction of myself to a life that i should have called quits a length ago. the fraction's that bereft of me is just bearing witness to the seemingly perennial nature of the next 6 or 7 mths of jc life..everything else has departed leaving a grappling soul. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;im emotionally affected and still waiting for those tell-tale signs.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;knock some sense into me if u strongly feel that i need it.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;im so sorrie man to break out of the hiatus on a rather sad note.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;i'll soon forget everything and be giggling away with my girls.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div

pathetically pretty low..hahah...such an insult to ppl of kristy's height...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but she so deserves an applaud for her bravery to brace the parapets leading to the pillar..&lt;br /&gt;if ur thinking its the parapets just outside the windows its so not ok..&lt;br /&gt;the parapets are small enough for a feet and there are 4 of them encircled facing openly into the 2nd storey..which is so to sae she was literally in mid-air while doing it...hhah..(she wore shorts btw)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;n thanx to her..all 4 of us

type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;its an irony ppl dun take notice of what happened on the day after valentine's day. haha..somebody gonna be proud of me saying this.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;the nanjing massacre documentary screened yesterdae during assembly has made me regarded the Japanese with an impotent fury. by convention, everybody would have likewise sentiments.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;the slashing of the bayonets, the visual thoughts of this little boy who got speared by the buttocks and flung across the room and 200,000 women who were raped are just too horrific.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;how can ppl who were victimised and terrorised by this series of morbid massacre events discard their initial detest for these uncivilised, barbaric doings?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;they claimed these japanese ordinaries were forced into the army and they were reluctant.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;they didnt want war..&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;thus they shouldnt be blamed and cursed their whole lives..&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;but isnt it ironic and contradicting when ppl sae they were reluctant while their violence sure proved otherwise. ok maybe reluctance after years of conditioning and all due respect towards the japanese imperial army officials had metamorphosized into something more tyrannical.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;even then dont these ppl have empathy?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;a wee bit or a tinge of compassion for those kids especially?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;dont their remorseness overcome them at all when their callous bayonets touch the surfaces of innocent folds of skin?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;dont those fresh pool of blood remind them of theirs?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;dont they remember that brotherhood and blood is the emblem of humanity?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;did humanity even cross their paths of minds?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;what were their heads even teeming with at that period of tyme?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;eccentric plans?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;quaint fancies?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;are all these what that they define reluctance?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;reluctance or hesitance to veer away those weapons by the seconds for fear their guilty conscience will set in and take the better of them..probably&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;or their hearts and minds have been reluctantly brainwashed..probably&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;how doomed can one be when they thought they had paid homage to the japanese emperor when at the same time he committed unforgiven and perpetual crimes to fragile humanity..&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;people will never forget these doings even if asians are just so

/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;spent a whooping 30 bucks on tees and a dangling red chandelier-like keychain ($5).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;my sis took one of the shirts and i gave her a $3 discount. how much nicer can i ever be when the flea price of the shirt is only $5. way within her budget. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;the place was as

just block the nasal passageways of my nose when i stay a little longer inside. the longer i stay, the more my head spins. contents of the cigarettes can just fatally interrupts my normal bodily

style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;amazing enuff theres alwaes miracles when it comes to retail therapy, especially when it comes by cheap. the more your head spins, the more you transpire and reek of sweat, the more heady u get abt shopping. eyes and hands, they function interconnectedly, once u eye something, those hands will just swiftly swipe watevr uve just seen. the happiest part when u get to noe its 4 bucks. wat more can i ask for rite??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;theres been so much fuss abt the black metal scene and how this cult is being misjudged.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;about how ur life can fall apart when u throw urself into this scene and all the blahs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;many would argue this to be blatant stereotyping.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;i mean if ure talking abt decadent lifestyle, many of which can be contributed by other genres as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br

to think of black metal as another loving trend to appear fierce &amp; feared, thus to rebel, &amp;amp; to be so true that they look more like wannabes. they are the total spoilt wankers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;i mean c'mon this cult may seem dark and horrific on the outside but just give them a whole new lease of life and let them do what they wana do. it wont do any harm btw its just another form of music. nothing is wrong with being different.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

about strumming the guitar(i havent got to really master this one) and learning a few of the easier notes, all thanks to Kristy, my once burning passion was rekindled. and of course, yi ying for the guitar even tho we used it without permission but here's the credits.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br

/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;kristy shall be the benefactor charging at $3.50 and we the benefitters..tell me why should i go sumplace else to learn when i can get mine at

/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;i was supposed to cut my friggin long hair like during the cny hols but out-of-money circumstances held me back. so plan temporarily aborted. damn.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;my hair is getting disgustingly long and they are literally kissing the nape of my neck. when my hair grows longer, half of the length will have a mind of its own and choose to veer to different angles making tt part of the hair look like the snakes on medusa's forsaken head. n those snakes been weighing down on my brain cells lately. reception by the ears getting low and information processing seems to travel by miles before they reach the control ctr of my brain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;i tink the snakes are sheding their skins on my scalp and it's an exothermic reaction, thus heating up my brain cells. n enzymes in brain cells get denatured if temperature soars above optimal. therefore, my brain just seem to be malfunctioning lately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span

me of course.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;Let me tell u guys something. i hate being a bitch. not even for a moment or so. its not something for me to uphold wat more my life principle to live by. its not something that i can lift up my head with. but once somebody do the honors of switching the mode on, i gotta do what i gotta do, baby.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;as far as possible i'll try to make this bitching prologue as political and less discreet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;ok first and foremost im not a hullabaloo like how most bitches are. or like whom i presume as bitches. bcoz nowadays bitches can take many forms and lie in many separate categories. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;they can mutilate from something so mild and surprise you with their viability to regurgitate watevr profanities she manage to contain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;ouhhh no im so disappointed with Jayla(American's Next Top Model). shes too adorable and all sweet to even fall in either of these categories. what worse was she proved herself dumb. dumb jet black.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;ok tts not the point here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;the point is my dear bitch, u cant expect me to weave in the flow into ur matriarchs of the loud and uproar. im not an attention seeker like you, thats for sure. i have basic courtesy, mind you. im not being childish in case u read this and u tink its you. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;its just that no matter what u do u'll always have to come to the basics.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;like telling ppl off nicely or at the very least just tell me, damn it, that u want that holy 100 pgs or so article. rather than hit me and snatch it from me. i noe tt i cant possibly translate the words but my brain is till picture-absorbent. i can still tell the difference btw a picture and another picture. its not even mine i noe. i noe tt all too well. its not that, that im pissed about but its just the fact that the place im in roofs you and ur every single vein just irritates me. i noe tis is very minor but its just you doing it that irks me. so the statement is clear here, &lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;I HATE YOU&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;i just hate it when ppl just dont noe their basic manners. thanks to extravagant publicity. maybe tt has made you to think tt the way of seeking ppl's attention is by hitting and snatching and wailing at my fragile ears. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;i can just feel my ears crumbling whenevr ur words greet my ears. ur sound frequency is just too high and all ya-ya. my ears are fragile u see.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;i hate it when these ppl noe that they should stop but they just couldnt bcoz they think they are doing great tyme. ouhh yeah man, u are.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br

style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;no other movies so far have triggered in me a sense of gratification like this.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span

style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;it stays true to the book (according to those who have read it). niwae shasha, im not gonna be done with the book any sooner so if ure patient enuff to wait

trust is no longer a sanctuary for them to behold. it is a world of deceit and facade where beauty is prime but beneath it all lies jealousy. the &lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;okiyas&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (teahouses) are like the embodiment of jeopardy where geishas become each other's subject of detest to get to the pinnacle.

He's got a bad humour and yet he tinks hes outrageously hilarious. Whatmore,he seems to revel in on all the supportive rolls of laughter everytime he turned into a roaring ball of joy which seemed to amuse a lot of ppl. Hurhur, how delightful. It is so annoying when he thinks tt his sarcasm and jokes are strikingly congenial. Heh. His jokes are in simple terms, LAME.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;He has this very outlandish laughter, one tt seems to be reverberating from the stomach and this queer habit of brushing the bridge of his nose with his index finger. Its distracting. He takes a dig on Pulau Ubin as tho its London, not tt theres aniting to sae abt tis island at all. All i noe his favourite island of Pulau Ubin is a striking resemblance of his bald head. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;He always brings us aboard to trips there while we 3 musketeers are still in our sub-conscious minds. Hes so utterly bothered by the underlying fact tt Lavender mrt stn is at Kallang and Kallang mrt stn is at Geylang. Afterwhich, he will take us on a rebound trip to another favourite island of his, the Jurong Industrial Island.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;And then he will attempt to launch his probe into ppl's income taxes to prove his point on poverty.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How astonishingly prolific my GP lessons are going to be if this prolong.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My GP grades are going to improve by leaps and bounds.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Until now, hes still going on strong with his compre passage on city planning. after 2 weeks and 2 lessons in a wk. Until this mon.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I seriously feel tt he ever aspired to be an architect. But he was too cocky to be one. maybe tts why.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;niwae wat does city planning gotta do with poverty? or maybe hes still stuck in a jet lag back frm London. thinking the big clock on Trafalgar Square will stand still during his lessons. tt tentative test of urs is not gonna bring us all far. Ure wasting big time. Big time. as big as the clock on Trafalgar Square. as fast as all the watches in Switzerland ticks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sometimes it doesnt take much to amuse. just by being jiggly and all fair, tt will do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6666cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14446468-113720821507008991?l=retracethesteps.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://retracethesteps.blogspot.com/feeds/113720821507008991/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14446468&amp;postID=113720821507008991' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14446468/posts/default/113720821507008991'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14446468/posts/default/113720821507008991'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://retracethesteps.blogspot.com/2006/01/forlorn-hopes.html' title='forlorn hopes'/><author><name>emo shenanigan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10480598469401477208</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14446468.post-113691581442893394</id><published>2006-01-11T01:44:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-01-14T22:45:06.340+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SELAMAT HARI RAYA HAJI TO ALL MUSLIMS OUT THERE!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY 3RD SIS!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;aww shes half my age now..piece of advice, relish watevr u have now before ur in the throes of adulthood.&lt;br /&gt;life seriously is a roller coaster ride dear..it is a fast dizzying game, its a parachute jump, its abt taking chanecs, falling over and getting up again, its mountaineering, its wanting to get to the very top of urself and to feel angry and dissatisfied when u dun manage it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;not to say tt im tt experienced myself nut what ive gone thru so far would be of use to u along the way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then u will noe why ur darling sis here have to always scream at the top of her lungs to get u movin. it has always been for a good reason.

My life seemed to have lapsed again into the utter passivity of a staring child. Ppl-who-worship-competition-like-theres-no-tomorrow are driving me to the brink of temporary dementia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They even have to make special appearances in my sleep-yanking their phenomenal a level certs straight in my face. I swear im gonna sleep with a decapitated barbie doll the next time you guys attempt to disrupt my pleasantries. That will scare the shit out of you and to learn to never be the culprits again. That doll is so gonna stare you hard and make sure you guys are obliterated from my every living brain cells. Bwahaha..heed that..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its worse enuff gettin a new principal with a 3-dimensional attitude about success. Socks have to be higher than the ankles?? Are u tryin to immerse some harajuku attributes into our school?? i hope not. ive nvr been too pleased with harajukus. Double whammy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its barely a full week and im having tis fenced-in feeling within me. I feel enclosed in my own space. I feel so intimidated. Should tis feeling persist i duno n i will nvr noe until i get my confidence back. until i wholly own it once again and its rightfully mine. i tink im losing every bit of my brain content like every other day. Swim-alone-or-sink- circumstances are supposed to hunker me down to work but its proving the reverse. im probably jaded. maybe tt wraps it all.

A million thank-yous to MS LEE!! It was so nice of you to even help me appeal n got it without a word..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or else i wouldnt noe wat would have become of me by the end of the day..stranded alone in a foreign dungeon brimming with "dragons" all waiting to gobble tis puny "rabbit".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the situation in s05 wasnt any better either..haha..brimming with mugtoads..&lt;br /&gt;They are seriously efficient switcheroos when it comes to work. One moment they were sniggering, giggling and laffing away..though most of the time i just dun get the things tt tickles them..but the next they would be shuffling their papers showing how they had actually completed their work. Just when you thot they were another bunch of slackers..how irritating is tt...feigning "coolness"..OMIGAWD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are those with A's, B's or worse comes to worse mediocre C's already in their bags. No big deal since it's a value added class. They were even going abt their business (which is hwk in tis case) during recess. I almost freaked out.
