One closed door

This is my last day in HOTstuff.

Mixed feelings, leaving behind all the things and people that I love and care about.


But i have my new path to look forward to.


kinda scary though.

present for me!~

my dad smsed me and told me to come home early cos he had a gift for me.


i asked him was it a car? a plane? was it pink?

i went home to find a box on my bed.

i opened it to find.....a HP2133!!~

its a mini-lappie!! 9inches! with webcam and all!

my dad said that i could carry it around when i fly and use it to MSN home if there's internet connection!

so happy!!

complaint!!

i got a complaint!

my latest bitchy article angered the crap out of a moron and he wrote a complaint email in!

i think he is too free lor.

of cos i write what i think, then should i stick to boring stuff like gas prices and CNG?

he made it sound like i am not allowed to voice out my opinions.
i guess he's probably offended cos he identified himself with one of the character classifications that i mentioned in my recent article.

not happy then dun read lah!
say i pull down the standard of the magazine somemore.
i gave it leverage ok.


the poor guy probably doesn't have much friends, and his favourite pastime is probably finding fault with people, and counting the number of words in magazine articles.




Loser.

wake up call

last week was kind of a blur.
i drank and drank...then i woke up and everything was fresh again

im so lucky to have people who care, who believe in me
who loves me for who i am, without judging me.

so what if i can't find true love now? it doesn't matter to me much anymore

so long as i have my friends, and my loved ones beside me every step of the way.

i might not know what i want, but i know what i DON'T want.

and i have to take the first step to eliminate what's bad for me

i'm much happier with what i have left, instead of worrying over what i'm going to lose.

i believe i will have my turn; maybe not anytime soon, but someday...

with each bold step i take, i'm following my destiny, that may lead me to my eventual happiness.

I just want to be happy.

Tiring Saturday

I went to attend SGTrackies' Drift Clinic event today.

It was held at that fateful place, Changi Exhibition Centre, again.
I get hit with so many memories when im there.


Guess what?


I was happily walking along, and minding my own business, when from the corner of my eyes, i saw a couple. They were sitting comfortably in one of the buildings, watching the drifting. I approached and took a glance.


it was him.....with her.



all the past memories suddenly hit me like a rock.

when he approached my way with her hanging on his arm.
when he knew that i was coming, and he insisted that she followed him against his will.
when he shifted all the blame to me, by believing in rumours and pulling up my past.
when i found out she was still around.
when i tried to be nice and explain and make him trust me.
when he ran away, leaving me alone with them.
when he left me, to give her another chance.


and to think that i tried to believe.


but surprisingly, i didn't hurt.
my mind just went blank.
i already guessed, although he was avoiding answering when i asked.


i just walked past them, pretending that i didn't see them.
i contemplated going up to say hi or something.
But i only have enough control to walk away and regard them as renovation materials.

i don't think i can stand trying to make conversation.
i'm not strong enough for that.

*

i just want to be loved.
to have someone that i love who loves me
who belongs wholeheartedly to me.
i should have the right to choose shouldn't i?
and not be forced.

*


i hate him. for the wuss that he is.
i hate myself for being so stupid.


i hate Changi Exhibition Centre.

low esteem

My horoscope for today:

"You possess an original mind and singular expression that makes you so unique and special. Give yourself credit for being one-of-a-kind. Anyone who's with you is a lucky person, and don't you forget it!"

it made me feel better. i need words of encouragement more than ever now.


have been rather down recently.
thinking about stuff before and at present.


my confidence and esteem level is at its all time low.
i feel ugly, i feel low, i feel unhappy.


maybe its cos its that time of the month.


so tired from everything.

*

now im frantically trying to clear all my stuff before i leave.
im not sure if i can do that.

my editor's threatening me with my early release cos i'm so slack nowadays.


can i help it if i don't really give a fuck anymore?

i believe i can fly

well.....have officially been confirmed!
managed to convince my boss to let me off in a month's time.

so my last day is august 8th.

my training starts on August 14th.


i hope everything goes well....

*

have tried to get back in the dating game......but i realise that i can't bring myself to play anymore.....so tiring, and it so different and so difficult!

last time was so much easier...


maybe i'm losing my charm?


damn.

exhausted!

have been sooooo damn busy and tired recently.
even though i have been resting at home and sleeping earlier than usual, I still feel so tired and lethargic. my whole body is nua and i keep yawning.

maybe its the after effects of my badminton workout last week?

I feel old...!

*

well....im still waiting for the call......so i called SIA instead.
She was busy and asked me to call back on Monday.

so i have to wait the weekend ...... -_-

*

its a tiring day today....

last night went to Dragonfly for Meta's birthday.....i think the place is really packed and really boring actually. I didn't even have the chance to dance much cos i kept having to give way to the passing crowd...i really think its a waste of time, maybe like going occasionally for the music or dance, but every week? Nah......i'd rather go to Bulldog.....at least I have a place to sit.

after the late night, have to force myself to wake this morning...
went to Kallang Leisurepark for the Tamiya Endurance Race.

don't even know how to control the stupid remote control car, keep banging the walls and getting knocked by all the other cars.......our team's car ended the race without the front bumper and bended skirtings....and in last place. hahaha.

i prefer driving the real thing anytime.


after that rushed down with my brother to join my colleagues in badminton again.
was so tiring! but i think i was better than last week cos i could last longer without rest this time.


feels good to exercise! i need to lose some weight....



i'm looking forward to a nice long sleep tonight.
Later.

briefing

went for the pre-employment briefing yesterday morning.
they informed me that my three-month notice might be too long and they don't know if they can wait. oh no! what am I going to do then? then they said don't quit from my job first until the official call. so am i supposed to wait til they call then? the worse thing is that if you get rejected then they will send you a letter to let you know.

so i have to wait again...


awww....and i thought it was confirmed.
i guess ite more or less confirmed as there are no more interviews left, but they just need people to start asap.
and i have to wait for a week before they will make the offer.

oh no....should i tender first?



strangely, everyone else is more excited than me.
to me, maybe its like nothing has happened yet, so i'm still quite indifferent.
Maybe i'll start bouncing for joy when i finally sign the letter and get confirmed.



suddenly, i don't want to leave.
im afraid that if i'm not around, no one would miss me.
that i would be forgotten, by my loved ones...


would they?



well.....maybe wait for the call and see how it goes...

that fateful day

happy 4th.


thanks for your company.

sigh...

went for the Singapore Airline interview yesterday, and to my surprise, I got in!

Now i have to get my medical checkup results approved, and they will make me an offer.
and i have to quit from my job soon....

its kinda sad though.....i really love what i am doing, i love the people, the free booze, the friends i have made, the challenges i have faced....

no more press passes, no more VIP service, no more free drinks and food, no more freebies and discounts....no more meeting nice people.

There is a rainbow in my heart.
I rejoice because I am getting away from this draining environment.


But I cry because leaving would take me away from his world.

Frustrated

I am so angry!!!!!

why does he keep bringing up my past to accuse me!
worse thing is that i haven't done ANY of the things he accused me of!!

i hate all these people who spread rumours about me and try to drive the wedge between us deeper. all my fucking life, i have been gossiped about, accused, disliked. i haven't even done anything! the rumours and gossips are all never even close to the truth.
why do they always do this to me? what have i ever done to deserve all these unfounded accusations? what have i ever done to them...why do they have to talk about me like that. why do people hate me so much...


i am so sad, so frustrated.
everything i try so hard to do, wasting my breath to explain and convince and pacify, when he should be the one doing it! he was the one that was unfaithful, that lied, that left me standing alone! he was the one that chose to leave me for her! he was the one that was in the wrong but i gave in time and time again, i believed him, and i gave him time. i tried to be patient, and understanding. and he fucking took it for granted! what's the point of m trying so hard but for nothing?!?! and i have to keep explaining to him over and over to explain my fucking PAST!!
and all done without even having a fucking clue whether we will ever get back again.

listen up, bastard, I should be the one thinking, I should be the one choosing, I should be the one that deserves an explanation, Not YOU. Go ahead, be childish and narrow. keep blaming me for my PAST and question the choices i made, the things that happened. if you were looking for someone that never had a boyfriend before, you're looking the wrong direction. You fell in love with me for ME; for my quirks, for my habits, for the way i talk, the way i loved you wholeheartedly. But now you're blaming me for being ME?!?!?! GROW UP!!!


and it hurts so fucking much that......he doesn't realise what i have sacrificed, and what i have done, for him. he will never know and appreciate what i did. he doesn't even seem to admit that he is wrong in any way, or that he has hurt me so badly....he doesn't know.


im so drained, so tired, so down. the light within me has extinguished, due to the tremendous effort i put in to try to make him stay. i know now that it is of no use. i have to stop the tears from falling, as my heart bleeds when i chase him away, chasing away the one that makes me so happy, yet so sad.


i love you so much, darling.
But please go away.

Crying Without Tears

A person once told me that crying without tears is the worst form of crying. And they were right- because the weeping of the soul hurts so much more and no one can console you because no one can see, and even if they can they do not reach its tremendous depth.

This is a tribute to all those who have felt the anguish of tearless sobs and broken spirits. May God guide you through it, and may those you love be there for you when the tears start to fall and every moment after.

True Love?

Saw this article in http://kidpieces.wordpress.com/2007/07/22/true-love/.

its great. Read it and think.

*

TRUE LOVE

In most cases we think: this is true love, when in fact it’s not. But than if this ain’t love than what it is? There are plenty of things that we confuse with love.

It could be just the basic instinct. The feelings can be passionate and crazy, but in fact both people may want only sex. And after it all the misunderstanding starts, and once infatuated lovers will find out that they have nothing in common and sometimes they don’t even know what to talk with each other.

Another variant is when people lack support, care and attention to their person or they just scared to stay single. Being with someone can be a habit when one simply got used to the other. It can either be a sick addiction or some self-interest. People call all these types of relationship love just by mistake or trying to conceal the true nature of it.

But than what does real love look and feel like? Maybe it’s when two people seem to know each other for ages and even in their previous lives. They can go on talking and talking and conversation never lacks topics and never gets dull. Or people don’t have to say anything because they understand each other without words. And those moments, minutes and even hours of silence are never uncomfortable. True love is when partners complete one another, when they’re together it’s peaceful, the whole other world with it’s sufferings and problems doesn’t exist and nothing even matters.

True love means understanding. One trusts another more than him/herself and feels ready to satisfy every little need of a partner. Two people don’t stop for a second looking into each other eyes.

It’s said that two persons truly in love aren’t looking at each other but in the one direction. And this is rather reasonable because they don’t say nothing “this is yours and this is mine” and share everything: friends, enemies, interests, problems and etc. One has his/her own identity but sees him/herself only as a part of the other. Still real love is not a relationship of property. If you really love someone you may say “I belong you” but always be ready to let go if it makes the person you love happy.

Jealousy stands out of the true love. How can one be jealous if there’s so much love and faithfulness? Real love doesn’t long for power, it doesn’t want to hurt, doesn’t want to punish for mistakes, it’s self-sacrificing and ready to forgive other and other again. But it’s wrong to think that true love is always a suffering, it only means that you take a person as he or she is and don’t expect the one you love to be perfect.

True love isn’t supposed to blow your mind, yet it doesn’t tend to get and to possess – it’s a and very special state of a soul.But the question that true love is still has no definite answer. Do we truly love only once in our life? At what age are we supposed to meet our love? Does it last for a lifetime or just for a while? Probably everyone has his own answers to this questions. The truth is that no one should spend life chasing ideals or building relationships by some model of a true love. One will probably fail and miss the real thing beyond all this.

We should remember that very many things we need to supply our healthy and comfortable living but only the true feeling of love makes life really longer and happier.

sad fact

I have found the paradox; if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.


Life is so ironic, isn't it?

Hugh Grant And Haley Bennett - Way Back Into Love

I think this song is wonderfully soothing.

And touches the heart with its simplicity.

Enjoy

Way Back Into Love
- Hugh Grant And Haley Bennett [OST of Music & Lyrics]

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past,
I just can't seem to move on

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need 'em again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do
is find a way back into love
I can't make it through
without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions

All I want to do
is find a way back into love
I can't make it through
without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I want to do
is find a way back into love
I can't make it through
without a way back into love

And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Kiss - Because I'm A Girl
