I'm very stressed rite now. VERY. And I have no idea why. A little help here would be good... before I start thinking weird thoughts and become neurotic. I shouldnt be allowed to think, it's not healthy to everybody in the long run. Juz snapped at a fren... never again. I promise. More later....

quote of the post: dun even wanna bother.....

I hate essays. They waste time! Seriously, what do they test? My writing skills? I want to write stories, not pieces of paper with crap info. My head can't take the pressure! My fingers cannot flow as properly. Argh. Hang in there I hear pple say, I am I am.
I hate tarot cards. So ambiguous. Do this, no dun do this. Dun do this, no do this. Dance in circles, stick out your tongue and do the hokey pokey! Tarot cards... pfft.
I hate guys. Especially the jealous types. I walk along, smile and say hi to a fren and get stared at by her bf. As if saying 'Yo' will sweep her into my arms and we ride into the sunset.
I hate disney. Nah, kidding, love disney, that's why listening to a multitude of disney songs. They make me happy, they really do. Better than any soundtrack or band or group can ever do. Qusimodo's "out there" makes me crave freedom, Anatascia's "At the beginning" definitely makes me sing and harmonize along and Elton John's "Circle of life" evokes emotions in me I didn't know I had. Heh. Still kiddish and I apologize.

Quote of the post:

i pray you'll be our eyes
and watch us where we go.
and help us to be wise
in times when we don't know

let this be our prayer
when we lose our way
lead us to the place
guide us with your grace
to a place where we'll be safe

i pray we'll find your light
and hold it in our hearts
when stars go out each night

let this be our prayer
when shadows fill our day
lead us to a place
guide us with your grace
give us faith so we'll be safe

we ask that life be kind
and watch us from above
we hope each soul will find
another soul to love

let this be our prayer
just like every child
need to find a place
guide us with your grace
give us faith so we'll be safe


- Andre Bocelli

he sits in darkness.
the moonlight falls lightly on the covers and sheets of the mattress he sits on. the mattress cost him less than a hundred dollars.
it serves its job.
he is awake and fumbles for his spectacles.
the pair of glasses are his life but even with them on, he cannot see past the darkness.
he sits still, afraid to move, afraid to spoilt the moment in which his body is warm and comfortable.
he hesitates to let the cold air in, telling his body to wake up from its ridiculous slumber.
he summons up some willpower and moves his right leg a little.
Cold creeps in, jumping as a hunter does to a prey.
he shivers and crawls even smaller.
a sliver of aroma sidles in from outside the bedroom.
it enters his nostrils and he smells the rich savoury taste which await him outside.
outside.
chicken chop.
dinner.
he gathers up all the strength he has and throws off the covers.
he runs to the door before the clammy hands of Cold bears down on.
he flings it open and dashes out of the coffin which is his bedroom, just in time.
the boy has survived this adventure.
the tell-take signs of the danger he was in with Cold are evident in the goosebumps and straight leg hair on his limbs.
he shivers.
his friend, the Cook, stares at him in wonderment.
thought you were asleep, he asks, putting another bit of chicken into his mouth.
the boy replies, rubbing his cold legs with his hands, i was hungry.


im hungry now

School has begun! And I'm happy!!! Well I was happy this afternoon, not now... after seeing my screwed up essay/exam schedule.... im dead. Seriously... dead. On a happier note (trying hard to be happy here), the day was beautiful! Blue skies, birds singing, sun shining, trees flowering. Just.... beautiful! And I met up with frens again and I got a H1 for marketing essay!!!!! H1!!!! It's my first one in like 2 years! Go eepin, go eepin, go eepin... *dances a little jig* Now that that's done, on to the dead part. Essays all cramped together. I'm doomed I think. Go eepin, go eepin, go eepin!

Things we learn in lectures ;)

Nuttin much today. Just wondering what to do when term starts. Back to old lifestyle of work again. Damn, need to do something more productive and healthy. Will... next year ^^
Went out to Mark's with Derek n Stef. Derek juz came back from Perth. He bought back earrings and rings for Stef, some food for Vincent (another fren)...and an idea for me. The idea of having a small business selling comp parts to each other. I laughed then.... rather loudly too as I recall.
Won Johan again! He came for revenge and I trounced him 2 nil!! Go Cameroon Go!!! ^^ Come on Johan, wat's wrong with you? Bad day?
Kelly stopped by my place and gave me Burnetti cookies! I'm like a leftover food disposal unit for her and you know wat? I like it! Free food! Who can resist? I'm glad I moved into City Gate then. Yupz yupz!
Ended the day with a movie. Watched a Korean anime called Wonderful Days. How to describe it. The music was wondrous, lilting, and awe-inspiring. The CG and drawings were juz plain beautiful. Seamless. Flawless. Beautiful. The plot however left much to be desired. The creators tried too hard to make it dramatic rather than focusing on a circular plot. The show was more like contemporary Korean drama/action flicks than anime. What irks me is how close to greatness this show was. Ah well. It's good anywaes, worth a watch. Now for the OST.

Quote of the post:

To begin again
And to depend on myself
It will be worthwhile
to have awakened
to have rebelled
to have wrestled
to have hurt myself
to have survived
to have turned the tables
to have known myself
to have capsized
to have rescued myself

To begin again
And to depend on myself
It will be worthwhile
to have awakened
without your claws, always so secure
without your ghost
without your frame
without your support
without your domination
without your spurs
without your fascination

To begin again
And to depend on myself
It will be worthwhile
to have already
forgotten you
to begin again

Happy Bday Ivan! U dun read this but happy bday anywaes! I'm soo nice, it kills me ^^ So humble too, cant stand meself sometimes and that's a good thing.

I had a normal afternoon doing nuttin. Seriously, waking up early (1130 is early k) with nuttin to do... is not good. Im serious. Scrap that plan now. Had a great dinner though. Ivan's aunt cooked us a storm and we had curry, curry, curry!!!! Mmmmmm........ I'm no big curry eater but man, it was gooooood. And I seem to improve at Winning Eleven (a soccer game on the PS2... dun roll ur eyeballs at me ladies), defeated current reigning champion Johan 3 nil! Go Cameroon Go!!!! Ahh.... victory is sooo sweet. Word to others, Im sucky, so winning him is like.... a miracle. Then we had a delish cake from Burnettis and watched an anime movie (dammit!! Stop rolling ur eyes!!!!) called The Cat Returns. A very lighthearted, simple show about a girl becoming a cat ^^ Watch it!! I highly recommend it!
Funny thing: When we were having the party, we were making sooo much noise that a fren called me and said she could hear MY VOICE when she was standing outside my apartment door. Should I take that as a complaint for being too loud and noisy? Or should I feel flattered for being singled out among all the other rabble? Decisions decisions.
I just finished a book. Amazing no? Been slowly reading the book 'Wicked' by Gregory Macguire. Not bad at all. Very interesting, insightful look at the Wicked Witch of the West's life before it got snuffed out by a bucket of water. You feel pity for her, im serious. It's quite philosophical too. Good stuff.

Finally, this is for Candice: *HUGS* Random hug from the PEP himself, u shld feel flattered. Hang in there babe! Life goes on and on and on and on. Who knows, Prince Charming will come on a white stallion, or ferrari, and take u for a ride ^^ Anywaes, feel free to tell me all your troubles! most of them wun be told to everybody!!! I'm serious!!! ^^
