yayy... i just did matthews discus quiz and i got 90%... i am just so smart i tell you... the only question i got wrong was the qn abt the colour of his discus fishes... it was a toss-up between options one and two because in both options red snake appeared (and i know he has red snake lahh), but i cuddnt remember how many electric blues he had... haha... nvm, 90% not bad what... better than my ss merger n seperation quiz haha...
anyway to all those people who tried to trick me about school restarting tomorrow, heres a big HAHAHA to show you that at least i think you're funny. wonder what my dad will say whent he gets home... since i phoned him asking him abt the reopening of sch immediately after i was kindly and considerately fooled by Mr. Tay Hu Lin. and he told me he'd put up a circular to investigate... *ahem* this shud deter all you would-be jokers out there... cos now im in trouble... kae nvm... ill think abt that later when my dad is coming hm...
niwae im not v. full of things to blog about right now... so ill check in later tonight with a review (yes a review) of the movie 'May' which im gonna catch at 1415 today. hopefully it wont be a waste of $6.50 and popcorn money. Aniwae it stars angela bettis (or is it betis) who was 'carrie' in the bbc version of that movie, anna faris from 'the hot chick' and jeremy sisto from six feet under. well i hope that it wont b a bad movie cos i cant stand the thought of wasting cash on a bad movie. nevertheless ill make sure i scream during the movie for the fun of it. besides, it really is a gore and blood fest from what i heard and yet it is also "a thinking man's horror flick", so i really hope it lives up to the description.
yuppers (haha love this word coined by matthew)... be back later then, and please please please behave yourselves today and don't pull anmore pranks or jokes that may seem funny to you yet isnt really all too funny in reality. ttz reality people, small things can really matter alot. okie dokie, im logging off now...

making an i/c truly is a waste of time... travel all the way and then it only takes 10min to make it. and thats actually inclusive of taking a photo etc. etc. such a complete waste of time. so aniwae we went to pet safari after that to look at the animals... matthew had to lie to his dad so he could go... and hes v. scared his mom will b pissd off cos she doesnt want him to take the mrt... haha...
anyway, the animals there are sOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo cute! esp all the dogs, and cats and cinchillas... theyre so adorable... makes me wonder why i cant keep a dog... theyre just so cute.. there was this pair of huskies that were going for only 1.5k... and theyre so cute summore... i like the thought of having a dog... at least, theyre loyal and give you unwavering love and friendship. the same cant be said abt humans of course, because unfortunately, we have brains.
If we haddnt the capacity to think as much as we do now, the world will be such a nice place...
but back to pet safari. then we saw this burmese i think... from wad i know it looks lyk a blue tortie... and it was just so adorable! it had such nice fur and a long tail and it was just sooooooooooo cute... the shop also had this birman (i think) which looks like a persian except with shorter fur... it was so cute too... cos it had this my-face-got-hit-by-a-truck look (yes its face is really flat-ish) and that makes it cute haha...
and the fish... he was looking for a discus fish u see... and wanted me to buy for him but duh i dont exactly walk around loaded so i cuddnt... nor could he, he only had $14 on him... then we saw all these fish and the thing is i dont know as much about fish as i do cats so he kinda brought the wrong person to shop for a fish... haha well he doesnt really like cats cos his neighbour's persian ate his goldfish... haha poor thing... yea then we had to go cos his dad was fetching him from lavender at 4pm... he was late of coz haha...
yea im feeling genuinely happy todae cos i got to get out of the house at last... amidst all this worry about sars... you know i really cuddnt care less about it... its just tt few ppl see eye to eye with me abt the whole issue...
but i suppose, as i sed in my earlier post, the situation has really become more serious in view of the f*cker who brought in the virus recently. gosh. dont these people know how to f*ckin FOLLOW A TRAVEL ADVISORY? do they think its funny travelling to such places with HIGH RISK, and bring back the virus and infect people? INNOCENT peopl i might add, who have had the sense to stay away from danger.
those three index cases, i definitely feel sorry for them but the latests ones? all i can say is f*ck you man, cos they went to wherever they did after the advisory was posted. they knew the dangers and yet reused to heed them. f*cking inconsiderate ttz wad they are. putting their lives in danger is one thing, but endangering other singaporeans is another level. kudos to these low-lifers indeed for starting a whole new chain of infection. well done. well done.
as you can tell im getting worked up again. really sorry but i cant help it... im just pissed abt the whole situation... sorry... sometimes i wish i cud get infected with sars and lyk die. stupid sars. at least if that happens i cud bring the virus 6 feet under with me. and life would go on, normal at last. stupid sars.
stupid lim hng kiang... why cant he just ban every f*cker whos trying to travel to high-risk areas? enacting an infectious diseases act isnt enough, my boys in white. if you dont take control of the situation with harsher measures, we'll truly get nowhere. dear govt, if youre listening, i suggest you take a very hardline approach towards this disease and get ird of it. i think its better to be very harsh and not make concessions because itll solve the prob faster.
and i for one, a staunch anti-sars campaigner believe that you can keep more people happy if they have to suffer for only a short while, rather than a whole wk, or worse, a fortnight or even a mth.
watcha think?

hello!!
im back from KL... well i flew in last nite lahh... had such amazing fun there... shopping what else. im so proud of myself, i singlehandedly left an 800 dollar dent in my parents account, now i have a ton of new clothes! yayyy... kae fine not a ton lahh but after PnC its qt sizeable... unfortunately didnt get a chance to swindle them of new shoes lahh... saw this fabulous pair of nikes that were absolutely gorgeous but didn have time to persuade my parents to buy them... damn... now i dont know how im gonna swindle them here in singapore... even though KL prices tend to be the same over here too... oh yea i forgot, there got sale, here dont have, now sure cannot swindle already...
diesel was wonderful... their sale was really a sale in all proportions... spent 350 there alone... haha... cos my younger bro didnt do any shopping duh... and my elder bro's in tioman... i kinda usurped their share of the shopping cash or sumthing hahaha... im so happy... the flight to KL and back was fun too... managed to study the whole trigo o lvl syllabus excl. diffrentiation of trigo during the flights... yayy... i love trigo... too bad they had to pollute my favourite topic in maths with sumthing stupid like graphs, which, if a i might add, i absolutely detest.
KL was great... plus theres practically nobody worried about SARS unlike our smart people here... but i must agree... the situation has worsened so maybe there is finally cause for worry... but still... we shouldnt be so panicky lahh... avoiding crowded places is a good idea, but avoiding the world outside your home is qt ridiculous... speaking of which *drumroll* i am finally going out todae!!!! yayy... im so happy...
but not say going anywhere lahh, only to SIR to make i/c with matthew. but i feel like shopping today lahh... see if i can persuade him to go town to shop for sandals with me... totally 4got abt them when i was in KL man... cant believe it... kae, ill ask him later...
anyway, yesterday was the 1st time i genuinely craved to stay longer in malaysia... cos shopping in KL was so fun man... and it was better yesterday cos all i had to do was walk down th aisle picking out stuff i want and dump it at the counter and yell for my mum to come and visa it. unlike shopping here where i usually end up apying for stuff myself... nvm... june hols surely go again, if i had my way...
btw i got 57% for the merger and seperation test cos i tot we had more than one attempt (didn read properly) like a math so i anyhow do first, thinking tt when i got all the correct ans or ask sumbody, ill ace the test... gosh somebody just told me he got 93% for it... damn... oh wait, he got the answers from sumbody else... cheh... he stole my plan...
aiyah the failures of an online system... everyone cheats now, cos its so accessible. ilearning really encourages this sorta activity man... its qt dumb really... having tests when the material is right in front of ya... how badly can you do? and the a math test, has 5 tries... yes 5 tries... by the 3rd try, unless ur severely retarded, u shud be getting full marks... heck, by the 2nd try full marks shud be the norm... haha... tan liang soon ah... bet he never really thought about this very hard... but i suppose hes just trying to be nice... or sumthing like tt if its possible...
which reminds me, the a math quiz is due tmr and i havent done it... shit... aiyah tonight lahh... makes thing easier... shit im still damn tired from all the jetting about and mall hopping... kae, im gonna end my blog entry here first and blog later after i finish sum ilearning... later den...
ciao~

haha im so happy that i cuddnt resist blogging again... i got a new hp for this mth and nxt mth i get to change hp again! yayy... my parents are so nice all of a sudden... plus 2nite we're flying off to KL to do a bunch of shopping... yayy... looks lyk sars can get me down this time! hahahaha... im just so happy that ive finally found sumthing to do at long last... its juz so nice to get away from the madness at hm... with sars... and other idiotic virus' having a grand time running around our island... gosh i hate sars to the max man... find me somebody who says he hates sars more than i do and ill show you a liar...
a note to all: i cant stand people who rudely sign off wihtout saying gdbye. its basic manners you know, to say gdbye before logging off msn. its really rude to just d/c urself and not tell the person u are chatting with tt u have to go. Do you just put down the fone when ur talking to sumbody? you dont. why? cos its rude. its also rude on msn you know and curiously 85% of the ppl who chat with me do not say bye. rude rude rude. Singaporeans...
Im doing this iLearning thing for english and we have to do this essay thingy abt singlish... qt interesting i just realised... this whole debate abt singlish and all... especially since i found non-singaporeans praising singlish and our very own slamming the dialect. its qt funny really... must read up on all this sumday...
kae back to work... ill look for sumthing to blog abt and do one more entry later b4 flying off to kl... ciao...

there... a dixie chicks cover of this stevie nicks classic... plus the guitar is really solid... the live version of this song, is so flawless...
"Landslide"
I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life
Well, I've been afraid of changing 'cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too
Well...
Well, I've been afraid of changing 'cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older, too
Well I'm getting older too
So, take this love and take it down
Yeah and if you climb a mountain and ya turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well the landslide brought me down
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well maybe
Well maybe
Well maybe the landslide will bring you down
[for those who dont get it the songs abt love lost...]

haha i loved this song... dixie chicks sound gd and look gd... plus this song is so nice... in a minute ill post 'landslide' lyrics... another song of theirs which i absolutely love...
"Wide Open Spaces"
Who doesn't know what I'm talking about
Who's never left home, who's never struck out
To find a dream and a life of their own
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone
Many precede and many will follow
A young girl's dream no longer hollow
It takes the shape of a place out west
But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed
[Chorus:]
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
She travelled this road as a child
Wide eyed and grinning, she never tired
But now she won't be coming back with the rest
If these are life's lessons, she'll take this test
[Repeat Chorus]
She knows the high stakes
As her folks drive away, her dad yells, "Check the oil!"
Mom stares out the window and says, "I'm leaving my girl"
She says, It didn't seem like that long ago
When she stood there and let her own folks know
[Repeat Chorus]
[fyi its about making it out on yer own... shud be evry1s theme song haha...]

gd morning...
gosh... survivor... i cant believe people are still watching... it gets so bOOOOOooooOOOOooooOOOOriIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIInNnggggggggGGGGGGGGGGGGG after all this while but i must admit i was laughing like hell when the two of them were stripping... god, sum ppl are really desperate man... haha it was veh funny to watch anyway... and i hope christie (is tt her name) the deaf/hearing impaired one... yea hope she wins... dun ask me why... just hope she does cos shes deaf... kae i noe tts veh irrelevant but wdv...
sars sucks...
im not sure what to write about here... erm... lemme think... all this ilearning is causing my brain to overclock and malfunction lahh... oh yea, im listening to kim locke and frenchi davis singing band of gold now... theyre really just veh good... they sound so good together... i cant believe they kicked frenchie out... so unfair... especially since they allowed the girl last year, the one who worked in strip joints, to participate... 4got her name... plus frenchie can sing, really sing... nvm, she doesnt need idol anyway, shes already very famous and signed to a label already so nvm... she'll make it big anyway...
and im finally finally finally going to make my i/c at last... going on monday with matt lee... cos tt bitch waileong made his laready without telling... kae nvm... then after tt we're going pet safari to look at all the terribly cute n adorable animals there... haha... at last someone who isnt particularly cooped up at home cos of sars... but nevertheless my whol wkend has been and will be further wasted... man i REALLY hate sars... i dont know if i should be mindful of those who died or not... or if i shud b angry...
cos just when i finally had sumthing to look 4ward to, everything crashed to the ground and all our plans shattered into a gazillion pieces. i havent stepped outta the house since dunno when (fine since midnite yesterday/today) cos i nobody can do anything/go out. then agn maybe its safer this way... i just hope this whole brouhaha dies down ASAP and sars f*cks off immediately cos i cant take this situation for much longer. its worse than being in prison...

2dae positively sucks man...ive been doing nothing but work work work because ppl cannot go out... this is damn sad man... haiz... and everyone is so stupid... sars is not even airborne so why wear gas masks? singaporeans are beyond dumb man... really...
whee_
|
i h8 sars... and everybody's parents suck... now i got practically nobody to go out with 2dae... screw man... this is paranoid. this is precisely why the govt shut down all schools except for poly and uni. why? because they're able to discern the dangers and judge for themselvs what they should do. not like a stupid bunch of students whose parents keep at hm for fear of sars. love and concern for their children? more like incongruity and complete irrelevance.
moms and dads out there, we are smart enough to think for ourselves. if we are not in danger we'll know it. if we are in danger we'll know it too. please just ***king leave us alone. actually i shuddnt be using the pronoun 'us' because my parents are perfectly fine with me going out as long as i tell them where im going. its so easy, theres practically no danger of spreading. this is so stupid. i h8 sars! no i h8 every1 else' parents who cannot see the simple logic that the virus has been contained, and thats why the two who have died are primary cases, not new cases. why? BECAUSE THE ***KING VIRUS HAS BEEN CONTAINED.
for gods sakes everyone, why doesnt anbody fight for their rights? you arent in explicit danger unless you ask for it. stupid shits.
i h8 this man. my friday is ruined. of all things to take away from me, my friday had to be it. ***k you sars. aw ***k you sars. seriously. screw you to the max.
and to all of you cooped up by ur parents at hm, i got nothing to say lahh. paranoid paranoid paranoid. nothing but just plain stupidity.
if you cant see the logic in my argument, you really are dumb beyond compare.
goodbye, and please please please regain some sense. i beg of you, please!

ruben isn't very consistent if you ask me. his a whole new world wasnt exactly very good but i must say his sweet home alabama was perfect... and i love that movie... kim locke was wonderful, again, with her rendition of i cant make you love me... what a nice song... what a great voice... joshua? now joshua (i thought) was full of rubbish yesterday, if theres anything ttz insincere, thats his singing. then again maybe i just don't like the song but i tot tt he wasnt exactly very good. his voice isnt good enough, but hes staying in for some reason.
for those who say that julia cant sing for nuts/her life/etc., can you? hello, give her some credit lahh, she can. its just that she cannot keep her singing up. she has no stamina! her startings are always good, then suddenly she'll get pitch problems etc. etc. then she'll lyk die. and kim c crying was so sweet... i dun think it was fake at all... hello, it IS kimC we're talking about and she wuddnt be caught dead with black eyes. Maybe she does care for julia after all...
corey, as much as i prayed for him to screw up, he didnt. he was smart n chose and easy song to sing. lucky him. carmens getting better... trenyce... well trenyce was abit of a let down, but hey, who said american idols had to be perfect in all shows? i mean, kelly clarkson screwed up her 'i surrender' in ami1 you know... well, trenyce was disappointing compared to her amazing 'i have nothing' last week... but nvm, she'll do better and besides, she looked great in the green dress and boots...
kim C looked positively slutty btw, hadri, especially in that midriff-baring thing she tried to wear... she looks lyk a complete pig...

I love this song... Whitney rocks...
Share my life,
Take me for what I am.
'Cause I'll never change
All my colors for you.
Take my love,
I'll never ask for too much,
Just all that you are
And everything that you do.
I don't really need to look
Very much further/farther,
I don't wanna have to go
Where you don't follow.
I will hold it back again,
This passion inside.
Can't run from myself,
There's nowhere to hide.
(Your love I'll remember forever.)
Chorus:
Don't make me close one more door,
I don't wanna hurt anymore.
Stay in my arms if you dare,
Or must I imagine you there.
Don't walk away from me.
(No, don't walk awya from me. Don't you dare walk away from me.)
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you (you, you, you./If I don't have you, oh, oo.)
You see through,
Right to the heart of me.
You break down my walls
With the strength of your love.
I never knew
Love like I've known it with you.
Will a memory survive,
One I can hold on to?
I don't really need to look
Very much further/farther,
I don't wanna have to go
Where you don't follow.
I will hold it back again,
This passion inside.
Can't run from myself,
There's nowhere to hide.
(Your love I'll remember forever.)

Hey i think kimberley locke sang this... her voice is simply gorgeous... i think this songs great too... at least when she sings it... its from the duets soundtrack...
Mario Bello - I Can't Make You Love Me
Turn down the lights
turn down the bed
turn down these voices inside my head
lay down with me
tell me no lies
just hold me close
don't patronize
don't patronize me
I can't make you love me
if you don't
you can't make your heart feel
something it won't
here in the dark
these final hours
I will lay down my heart
I feel the power
but you won't
no, you won't
And I can't make you love me
if you don't
I close my eyes
then I won't see
the love you don't feel
when you're holding me
morning will come
and I'll do what's right
just give me til then
to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
Cause I can't make you love me
if you don't
you can't make your heart feel
something it won't
here in the dark
these final hours
I will lay down my heart
I feel the power
but you won't
No, you won't
and I can't make you love me
if you don't
There ain't no use in you trying
if you don't love me Baby!
ain't no use in you trying
if you don't
if you don't
if you don't
if you don't love me
there ain't nothing I can do

Heard a beautiful song today... during AMI2... This goes out to every lonely soul out there especially me...
Someone Else's Star
Bryan White
Alone again tonight without someone to love.
The stars are shining bright so one more wish goes up.
Oh, I wish I may and I wish with all my might.
For the love I'm dreaming of and missing in my life.
You'd think that I could find a true love of my own.
It happens all the time to people that I know.
Their wishes all come true so I've got to believe.
There's still someone out there who is meant for only me.
I guess I must be wishing on someone else's star.
It seems like someone else keeps gettin what I'm wishing for.
Why can't I be as lucky as those other people are?
I guess I must be wishing, on someone else's star.
I sit here in the dark and stare up at the sky,
But I can't give my heart one good reason why.
Everywhere I look it's lovers that I see.
It seems like everyone's in love with everyone but me.

What matters is that somebody has died from it... shudder... im not particularly scared of it lahh but wad if one of my frens caught it... it would be terrible... and wad if he died... gosh... that would be catastrophic... i really cant imagine dying so early in life... its lyk, u die before ur life even begins. its really sad...
From yahoo.com.sg:
HONG KONG, March 26 (Reuters) - China dramatically raised the death toll from a mystery virus on Wednesday and reported its first deaths in the capital, as Singapore closed schools to fight a pneumonia outbreak that has killed more than 50 people worldwide.
Singapore, which has quarantined more than 700 people with flu-like symptoms and reported its first death from severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) on Wednesday, said all schools would be closed until April 6.
A top Hong Kong official issued a chilling warning to the city's seven million people, saying the killer disease was spreading among the public.
"We can see the trend of the figure climbing. People from all walks of life have been infected," Hong Kong Deputy Director of Health Leung Pak-yin told a news conference. "If you are on the plane and an infected person is sitting either behind or in front of you and he coughs, you can get infected."
Eleven people have died from the illness in Hong Kong since the outbreak began in February. Leung said infections had risen to 319 from 290 on Tuesday, with 316 suffering severe pneumonia.
Hong Kong officials had said the illness was mostly confined to hospital staff and relatives of infected patients.
China said on Wednesday 34 people had died and about 800 had been infected by a mystery pneumonia, up from a previously reported five deaths and 305 infections.
In Beijing, health officials said three people had died of the disease and five more had been infected but said the illness was not spreading in the city of 14 million. Health officials had previously denied any deaths in the capital.
SEVERE PNEUMONIA
World Health Organisation officials believe SARS, spreading swiftly across the world, is linked to a disease outbreak in China's southern province of Guangdong that began in November, but they have yet to prove a link. Guangdong borders Hong Kong.
Symptoms of the disease, which is believed to be spread through droplets by sneezing and coughing, include high fever, chills, coughing, cold and breathing difficulty. Many victims quickly develop severe pneumonia. Out of every 100 infected people, three to five die from the disease, experts say.
Guangdong officials said 31 people had died of atypical pneumonia in Guangzhou and six other cities in the province by the end of February. A total of 792 had been infected.
Beijing has put its hospitals on alert and laid out a plan to prevent the disease from spreading in the city.
SARS has spread to Hong Kong, Vietnam, Singapore, Canada and Germany, infecting more than 500. Suspected cases have been reported in the United States, Japan, Britain and Australia.
Four people have died in Vietnam, three in Canada and one in Singapore. More than 70 people have been infected in Singapore.
Worried parents in Hong Kong and Singapore kept children home from school or packed them off to class wearing surgical masks.
"Don't worry about how you look. You should feel lucky you have this to protect you," one Hong Kong mother told her son as he fidgeted under his mask.
SCHOOL'S OUT
The Singapore government went further on Wednesday evening. It said it would halt classes for the city state's 500,000 children to try to alleviate parent concern, despite saying in a statement there were no medical reasons to close schools.
The Hong Kong government has ruled out suspending classes, although nearly 100 schools have chosen to shut down. Two more school children fell ill on Wednesday, bringing the total to 9.
Hong Kong's Central Library and a branch of the Bank of East Asia in the city were shut for disinfection after a worker in each place was suspected to have caught the disease.
Hong Kong is trying to track down 78 foreigners who stayed on the same hotel floor as an infected mainland Chinese doctor suspected of starting the Hong Kong outbreak in February.
The hotel guests -- from mainland China, Britain, the United States, Singapore, Canada, Australia, Malaysia, Japan, the Philippines, Netherlands, Germany and Taiwan -- stayed on the ninth floor of the Metropole Hotel between February 21-22.
The Chinese doctor is believed to have infected at least seven strangers -- probably in the hotel lift or lift lobby --who then spread the virus in Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam and Canada. The doctor and two of those he infected have died.
Hong Kong is looking for 245 passengers on board two Air China flights -- CA 112 from Hong Kong to Beijing on March 15, and CA 115 from Beijing to Hong Kong on March 19 -- after nine tourists from Hong Kong on those two flights fell ill.
The nine were likely to have caught the disease during the March 15 flight from an infected Chinese passenger, who was returning to Beijing after visiting a sick relative in Hong Kong. (With additional reporting by Jacqueline Wong in Singapore, John Ruwitch in Beijing and Christina Pantin in Hanoi)
People out there who are praying for a loved one, heres my prayer to you too. Please get well everybody...
speaking of which... i wrote a long letter yesterday... put alot of heart and soul into it... and i think that wad i got in reply was... well... not the most satisfying... though it did put some of my heart at ease... well not at ease but settled some part of me... im really lost in this sea of emotions right now and theres nobody i could talk to so it really sucks... i just wish that whatever it is, whatever happens, its for the best. As much as i could hope for some things to happen, they never will and muct keep reminding myself that the truth is never easy. Because i so often get distracted by what could be, i ignore what really is. and because of this i will never find happiness unless i stop looking for it.
Thats the dilemma of it all i guess. just like how dying is the only way to 'live' because it is the only escape, being miserable is probably the only way to find happiness, because as much as i may not be happy, if my unhappiness makes someone i care abt happy, then by all means... i suppose i cant say much about this because its hard to talk about it even now... even here under the veil of non-identity...
If theres anybody listening to me out there, i just wanna ask, why is the world so screwed up? Why must there be death? Why must there be unhappiness? Why is life so imperfect? Isnt man supposed to made in God's image? Why are we so screwed up then? Why, God, why?
If theres anybody whos willing to spare a though for me, a real genuine thought not a passing glance, please tell me, why is it that it must always be a compromise on my part? why cant i simply enjoy the beauty of life? There are so many things to live for and yet, i cant, i just cant find something that i truly want and can have. I just wish that... That for one day i could live free, without a care in the world, and live life as i was truly meant to, that is, as a person with feelings and emotions, and not just a shell without the insides.
If theres a guardian angel out there, please tell me, why must i go on living like this? How long more do i need to put up this front? Does anybody know how it feels to look in the mirror every morning and realise that this dumbfuck staring back at you has nothing to live for today? Or tomorrow, or the day after? Somebody please tell me why, and this is the worst thing, I dont think I can get out of this.
No matter how many times i try, i fail. What more can i do? Suicide? Nah, too cliche. overused already. besides that means that im a quitter. which im not. I dun wanna give up even though theres no hope for salvation...
Has anybody ever read Waiting For Godot? yea, ttz wad im doing. Waiting. and waiting. for what i do not know. I wish somebody could tell me. I wish that one day, someone could look me in the eyes and say, hey, i need you in this world, so please dont leave. or maybe somebody could give me a hug and say hey, if nothing else, i'm always here if you need me, so dont feel as though your alone.
Sometimes i really wonder what really is the test of life. Having to live or having to die. sometimes i really wonder.
Is this all worth it? What do i get in the end? nothing.
But i must tell myself. If it makes others happy, i will do it. This is all im living for now i guess. For others. And unlike richard from the hours, i cant kill myself because it wouldnt be practical. i mean if i die, who would care. So i just live on this so-called life of mine, existing in nonexistence, living but not living.
Sigh... the hours has really set me thinking so much that it begins to hurt... sigh... it hurts it really does... but what choice do i have but live with it... if i cant be happy, i hope all the people i care about can... sigh...
Dear God, if you're listening out there, please assure me that there is an afterlife. At least, i think i'd be happy then. At last. Dear God, please reassure me, so that when i sleep at night, i can sleep with a smile on my face knowing that after all this, i have something to look forward to. Even if it may not be big and substantial, dear god, just send me a sign that i may see some happiness after all, some true happiness, be it in this life, or the next.
Sigh. It hurts it does.

haha i heard that socrates was an absolute failure... how hilarious... can you imagine how paiseh the sch will feel if the technology fails again on the official one with the sec twos? with the ministers and all... shudder...
niwae the hours was really good... it really set me thinking you know... about life... and death... i guess its true that when you have nothing to live for, youre just waiting to die. because even if you choose to live over the escape of death, you will never find happiness, and you'll just have to face the hours after that, and the hours after those, in sheer loneliness. how morbid. nicole was really good... so was meryl n julianne... such a pity it didnt win more awards at the oscars... oh well... back to i learning... be back later...
ciao

i learning sucks. i absolutely hate ilearning. this sucks. i learning sucks. there is so much work! how how how to finish all of these by the end of this week? plus we have 4-5 hr rehearsals 4 times a wk this wk and that effectively puts monday, wednesday, friday and saturday out of the equation because rp nvr keeps to time and we always end up spending one whole day at sch anyway. That leaves only tuesday, thursday, sunday and all the nights. which most certainly is not by any means known to man possible at all. kae fine its possible lah but we'll have to slave on and on without much hope of a break. what the hell man.
plus, and this really takes the cake, we have groupwork! during iLearning! what crap is this... its ilearning for gods sake. dun the teachers know what i means. it means INTERNET. hence we WONT MEET EACH OTHER. and they want us to do a project. lucky we dont have it as bad as the sec4s tho, they have to physically build something. imagine that. building sumthing during ilearning week. how miserable.
crap man. what a terrible way to spend a birthday: doing ilearning. sheesh.
