William Shakespeare - All the world's a stage (from As You Like It 2/7)All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
Some choose to wear the mask of Hypocricy in their performance. Watever stage that might be, BEWARE to the audience, and performer alike.

WaT's YouR ORdER?
Came across an interesting take:
Birth Order & Your Love Life
How your birth order affects your romantic compatibility.
Everyone has a birth order or the order you were born into a family. And whether you're a firstborn, middleborn, lastborn, an only child or a twin, your birth order can influence your personality and your relationships, say experts."While other factors, such as age, race, and gender, all play a role in shaping personality, research indicates that the number one factor influencing personality is birth order," explains William Cane, author of The Birth Order Book of Love, who has analyzed the birth order of 6,000 celebrities, historical figures and couples.
Birth order personality
Firstborn
Because firstborns are usually tasked with more responsibility from young to look after their siblings, they typically grow up to be dominant, super-responsible, organized and competitive.
Middle child
The middle child is a people-pleaser. He or she is diplomatic, and it's difficult to get them to take a stand. The middleborn also tends to be a little manipulative.
Lastborn
Lastborns are friendly, creative individuals who love challenging the status quo. They're more adventurous than their siblings and are the risk-taker in the family, although they also tend to be needy at times.
Only child
An only child is used to being in the spotlight within the family, so he or she tends to crave attention. Being an only child also means that he or she is unlikely to know very much about the opposite sex.
Twins
Twins have a strong bond and therefore always think of the other before making a decision. Their thoughtful nature makes them considerate romantic partners.
Birth order compatibility
When it comes to birth order compatibility, studies suggest that opposites attract and the best birth-order mixes have the least of what Cane refers to as rank conflict: "Two firstborns, for example, have the same rank and would be expected to fight over who's the leader," says Cane. "Similarly two lastborns could be expected to experience conflict over who's to be considered the baby of the relationship."So which marriage combinations work best? Dr. Kevin Leman, author of The Birth Order Connection, shares his findings:
Most compatible birth orders
Firstborn and lastborn / middle child and lastborn / only child and lastborn
This relationship works great, because the lastborn is going to be the fun-loving partner who teaches the other that it's okay to kick back and relax every now and then, while the firstborn/middle child/only child teaches his or her partner the importance of perseverance and why life should be taken seriously at times.
Least compatible birth orders
Firstborn and firstborn
Firstborn and firstborn
When two bossy firstborns pair up, there is likely to be high friction. There could be plenty of conflict as both parties fight for control or they could fall into a controller-pleaser mode.
Lastborn and lastborn
Two adventurous individuals may mean double the fun and craziness at first, but with nobody to take charge, this relationship could turn chaotic very soon.
Only child and only child
Control issues aside, neither have much of a clue about the other gender.
Me?
Lastborn. I want my mummy!
Him?
"Real" family - Middle child. Twin. But i guess it might not be applicable considering that they hardly meet nor talk to each other.
"Other" family - lastborn.
Hmm...

SpiCY
i need some sugar, spice and everything nice. no, not the power puff girls. juz something to spice things up in life. it's getting mundane. i'm getting bored... well those who know me well enough will know i cant stil still for long. ADHD? maybe a little. haha. sometimes i admire those who can sit for hours without moving. how do you do that?! the only time i can perhaps do that is when doing assignments. hee. but yeah... juz some little pleasant things in life to look forward to. how about that?
some salt over the shoulders for luck. some pepper to spice things up. and a little cinnamon somewhere to make it sweet... that would be nice.
but no drama pls. the last i recall, i had enough drama to last me a lifetime.
oh i love the mentalist. is he for real? how does he do the things he does? i wanna be like him! but not too much of a pain in the ass and being humble wld be good too. hee.

BecAUSe I WaNT TO
someone once told me, "Don't do it because of me. Do it because you want to."
juz food for thought...
At that time, I didn't really know what it really means and juz went with the flow. over time, i think i understand exactly what he meant. by choosing to do something because i wanted to (like duh! it wasnt as easy and clearcut then), i'm accountable for it and not others. it helps to know that watever that's going to happen next is out of my own personal choice and noone else should be "blamed" if anything should go wrong. and by doing it because i wanted to, i don't go back to the same old path again.
juz food for thought...
PerFeCTiON
surprise? nah... was in that situation b4 so i understand. kinda cool if u think abt it - and some others do think it's unbelievable. haha. we're happy for you but u know we are concerned too. u haf our support nonetheless even if the rest of the whole world don't. that's what friends are for. ;)
once i watched a show- it's a christmas story wif this girl who keeps going back into a snow globe in her dreams. anyway, what struck me was the idea that perfection comes in different forms. sometimes, it's not in ways that we expect. For eg (in a very simplified way), ice cream is perfect when having wif waffles. well, it's also perfect if you make it into a milkshake which is in a totally different form. and u will never know the other prefect forms of ice cream until u happen to try them and be surprised-ice cream float, ice cream in a bread, fried ice cream etc. which might be pleasantly different from your initial idea of "perfection" or "ideal". however, like everything else, it's also based on personal preferences. wat's likeable to you might not be for others.
juz thot this is appropriate for you. enjoy. :)
I knew I love you - Savage Garden
Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
There's just no rhyme or reason
Only this sense of completion
And in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I love you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

KidS Say THe DarNEsT THinGS
since adults are soooooooo confusing as they twist words and meanings ard and it's too tiring to try and figure out wat they mean, how abt looking at things at surface level. kids do say the darnest things - real life instances! as usual, pseudo names are used.
k-kid, t-teacher
1) the class was writing a Mother's day card for their mums:
t: k, what's your mother's name?
k: XXX
t: ok, how do you spell your mother's name?
k: M.U.M.M.Y.
*well, that's how he spells it. he is answering the question.
2) the class was having a discussion on community helpers.
t: the person who helps to design buildings is an architect. K, your dad does that. So what does your dad do?
k: he design buildings.
t: so what do you call him?
k: ... Daddy!
*again, answering the question.
3) k just came back fr a holiday and celebrated her birthday.
k: ms j, i just had my birthday.
t: so how old are you now?
k: five.
t: oh, i thought u are sixteen. (jokingly)
k: no, I'm sandy (her name).
t: ... (while the kid went to play with her friends).
4) a kid was being scolded by a teacher during recess at the canteen and was crying.
t: (wanting to know which level he was from shouted:)which level are you in?
k: (sobbing) ground level.
LOL. sheesh... *shakes head. if only adults are like them. wouldnt the world be so much simpler to understand.
innocence... kids... one of the little things in life that makes u smile (and scream).

hmm... if words carry meanings, what do u mean? if u r saying that wat u say has zero value, doesnt it mean that it has no meaning? if it doesnt haf any value, den y even say it at all? wouldn't it juz mean that it's redundant? u say that it doesnt haf a value, wat abt the receiving part? communication surely involves 2 parties. the sender and the receiver. everything else is juz noise that can impair the comm process. i guess i'm juz part of the noise.
in some instances it carry this meaning and in some it doesnt. in some cases it carries meanings and in some cases it doesnt even haf a value to it. it's simply too tiring to figure out when it means something to u and when it doesnt. if i were to juz stick to the general view, apparently it it doesnt work that way for u and them. well i'm not part of them. don't put me in that category and assume i would understand coz i don't, and so won't the rest of the world who's not part of them. if meanings keep changing, how m i suppose to trust wat u r saying? it's too confusing and tiring. and i'm overreacting. hmm...
i tot it's simple (isn't it?): say wat u mean and mean wat u say. if u don't mean it, dun say it.

RanDoM StuFf - BurFDaE ToY
yes yes.. i've turned 17 once again. aaaaaahahhaha... ya ya.. some people say delusional. :P as long as i dun look my age, i'm alright. and as long as i've gained more wisdom and yet remain child-like (NOT childish), i'm fine.
it was so fun yest. i've got a new toy. woo hoo! thanks bee. considering that i can't afford, or rather choose not to spen $$ on a d90 or d5000 as yet... might as well get a camera dat takes artistic fotos instead. as opposed the the kinds that photograhers of nikon or canon wld ever nod to. ahahahah... so happy so happy. it was fun fun fun. felt like a child all over again.. one who juz got her very 1st camera. and yes.. it was like my very 1st camera. the kind where you have to manually load the film and turn it round and round to lock it in place. old-school! hehe. the only reason for the batt is the flash function. other than that, everything goes manual.
how photography have changed over the years. fr my 1st cam, to the auto film wif zoom. to the digital era. those days, we had to look thru the viewfinder to compose our pics carefully before hitting the shutter button so that we dont waste film. the anticipation of waiting for the pics... wat a feeling. if it turned out good, kudos to you. u know that u haf taken the time and effort to capture a good pic. then came the digital era. live view of the pic. people dun use the viewfinder anymore. clicking away and deleting pics as we go along... wat happened to the care that we used to prioritise when we used the film camera? good and bad.
now comes the time when you dun even haf to look at the viewfinder nor the screen! welcome to the world of lomography. haha. wat fun... makes photography all so fun once again.
10 golden rules:
Take your camera everywhere you go.
Use it any time – day and night.
Lomography is not an interference in your life, but part of it.
Try the shot from the hip.
Approach the objects of your Lomographic desire as close as possible.
Don’t think. (William Firebrace)
Be fast.
You don’t have to know beforehand what you captured on film.
Afterwards either.
Don’t worry about any rules.
let's take some pics - lomo style. or sld i say.. YOUR style. haha. thanks for the wonderful gift. oxoxox tho i got to choose it for myself and top up wif my voucher.. thanks all the same. hehe.

ok so i dun talk abt my family much. juz a little snap shot.
went oto the airport to c my cousin off. hafnt seen her for a long time. hafnt seen many extended family members for a long time anyway. she was going off to egypt to do her degree there. no prizes for guessing... she's a madrasah girl. so i went there thinking i'd be easy to find my aunt. she has a really big family anyway. 8 kids! and to my greatest surprise (or horror as i can put it), the whole place was filled wif all the tudung family... males wif the songkok! for a wahile it felt as if these peopel were going for umrah or hajj. yes, it's THAT crowded. i couldnt find my aunt! who can find anyone in that mess of people anyway. and i dun haf her number! panic.. called a few other family memebrs. finally got her number and she was only abt 2 metres away! sheesh... saw my other cousins. cant even figure out who's who. cant remember their names too. ok, that's bad. let's not talk abt trying to recognise them. all i can say is that they've grown so big over the years. then it hit me.. i cant even recognise my own cousins. this is not a healthy sign. when oh when will i make the effort to get to know my own family memebr better. perhaps i shoud start fr my own home. i dun even know what the guy in the nxt room is doing. :P anyway.. i'm happy for my cousin for making it so far.. it aint easy wif such a big family. responsibilities now falls on the younger ones... stay strong. Inyaallah we'll see each other before 4 yrs is up. anyone wanna sponsor me for an egypt trip? ;P
locally.. went to ikea wif my mum. met this nenek who's 71 yrs old going there by herself. din know the way so wanted to follow us. apparently her chn din haf the time to bring her there so she went there all by herself to get photo frames. they were quite heavy my mum said. and my mum was commenting that next time when she's old, i'd better take her to ikea and that she din wanna gothere by herself. :P Insyaallah.. i shall be a good daughter. heh.

Oh well... let's move on... going to ramble on some stuff that happened days, weeks and months back. watever that comes to mind. here goes...
work + sch. can be a tricky qn to ans considering that i do work in a sch. so when someone ask me... where are u going? sch? work? both? dun really know how to ans. and when someone ask: what are u working as? clear ans: a teacher but NOT in an MOE sch. WHY??? coz i juz got sick of the system. simple as that. so am i happy in here? well happier for sure. but as i've said, i cant afford to stay here for long even tho i might like the work and working hours. let's be practical people... some can live their lives earning juz that much. but me? call me materialistic... watever... i need some more to save and travel of coz. hee.
so work... wat can i remember. for one, some people can be real irritating and i'm sorry to say this coz it might sound mean.. but i'm glas someone else heard it and told her. better to juz stay away as much as possible. coz if u get me on the wrong day at the wrong time... u'd never guess what i can do. and i'm very sure i can make it real bad. i'm not one who's bloody hard up for this job anyway. ok ok... fasting fasting... better stop it :X
on another note... national day celeb... din think i'd be wearing red and white again this year. tot i was going to get out of it. tho i might know spore stuff and songs (thanks to propaganda and SS lessons)... i'm not exactly a hard core patriotic sporean. heh. but i still call it home for sure... like every year... kids were in red and white. sth unpleasant happened that morn... and it wasnt only to me... but haiz... better juz stop here before i start bitching. :X other than that... all was well... wif everyone waving the spore flag way up high. oh yes... there was this particular house with 3 flags! talking abt being patriotic man.
book week was fun. besides the part when I haf to help out juz because some people are juz so irresponsible. i mean.. hey its her job so y blame it on us? y do you or the rest of us haf to do it. ask her to do it lah. and she gets away wif it?!??! *shakes head. sheesh... ok besides that.. it was fun fun fun. the kids were sssoooooooo adorable in their costumes. we were supposed to dress up as a storyubook character. esp Bumblebee! yes! bumblebee was in sch. haha. he was sooooooo cuteee. the rest were cute too. pirates, ballarinas, mary poppins and others. i muz say.. the teachers were also cool! we all dress up. something minah wld like. as she wld put it: feeling feeling. haha. and guess what i was... a cat wearing boots ;) sorry.. pics not uploaded in comp yet.
end of term checklist is the most tedious to check off. had to scrub chairs, tables, cubbies.. areas of responsibilities. sheesh... tiring! stayed back late that day juz to finish things off juz so i dun haf to come back during the hols. heh. juz glad i dun haf to do the discovery table anymore. and hoping the things are still intact. things that goes onto the table sometimes juz dun come back the way it was. scary things these kids can do. some call it exploring and creativity. i'd juz call it vandalism.

BE ThAnkFuL
"Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire,
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something,
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.
"Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
Because it means you've made a difference."
hmm...

MJ
end of the King of Pop. Ironic how some critisized him for the past few years when he was still alive and yet cry and grief when he's dead. Anyway, still wondering how one can be in debt of $500 000 000! (did i get the numbers right? or maybe it was 1 zero short. but still... that's a lot of zeros)
oh well... we'll still remember him thru his music and he's someone we'll probably tell our grandchildren about. the "during my time..." kinda conversation and stories. his music will still live on. 2 of my personal favourite:
Black or White
I took my baby
On a saturday bang
Boy is that girl with you
Yes were one and the same
Now I believe in miracles
And a miracle
Has happened tonight
But, if
Youre thinkin
About my baby
It dont matter if youre
Black or white
They print my message
In the saturday sun
I had to tell them
I aint second to none
And I told about equality
An its true
Either youre wrong
Or youre right
But, if
Youre thinkin
About my baby
It dont matter if youre
Black or white
I am tired of this devil
I am tired of this stuff
I am tired of this business
Sew when the
Going gets rough
I aint scared of
Your brother
I aint scared of no sheets
I aint scare of nobody
Girl when the
Goin gets mean
(l. t. b. rap performance)
Protection
For gangs, clubs
And nations
Causing grief in
Human relations
Its a turf war
On a global scale
Id rather hear both sides
Of the tale
See, its not about races
Just places
Faces
Where your blood
Comes from
Is where your space is
Ive seen the bright
Get duller
Im not going to spend
My life being a color
(michael)
Dont tell me you agree with me
When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye
But, if
Youre thinkin about my baby
It dont matter if youre black or white
I said if
Youre thinkin of
Being my baby
It dont matter if youre black or white
I said if
Youre thinkin of
Being my brother
It dont matter if youre
Black or white
Ooh, ooh
Yea, yea, yea now
Ooh, ooh
Yea, yea, yea now
Its black, its white
Its tough for you
To get by
Its black , its white, whoo
Its black, its white
Its tough for you
To get by
Its black , its white, whoo
Heal the World
Spoken by child:
'Think about the generations,
and say we wanna make it a better
Place for our children and our children's children, so that they...
They, they...
They know it's a better world for them.
And think if they can make it a better place...'
There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of joyful giving
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel, fear or dread
We stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
Make a better world
Make a better world
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify its soul
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be God's glow
We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart
I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we'll cry happy tears
See the nations
Turn their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
Heal the world
Make it a better place
(Oh, my friends)
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
You and for me
You and for me
Heal the world we live in
Save it for our children

ok... it's been a while. been too lazy to update this blog. no surprises. heh. well, been busy too. juggling work n study has been challenging. not that there wasnt any interesting things that happen lately esp in sch, juz kinda lazy to jot it down here. for short, i'm surrounded by the word STRANGE. sometimes i juz wonder why people do the things they do and it's sure tough to look at ourselves in the mirror and realising our own faults.
the hols is almost over. in a few hours time. it was a pampering holiday. since i din travel far, batam oso jadi la. pampered ourselves wif a spa massage by the sea. the sound of the natural waves. that was relaxing. shopping wa gd too. many great buys. fav buy: swimming suit for muslimah. got it at a 50% discount! woo hoo! tho i tot the taxi ride was kinda dangerous. esp when the doors cant be opened fr inside! and kept bumping into "Laurie Chan". the younger and smaller version. hehe. and once again, we were in search of sotong and ikan kering. tak abis abis! *shakes head.
qn of the trip: "Where are all the people?"
qn back fr the trip: "Why are there so many people?"
s'pore's juz too crowded for comfort at times. quote "they are in your face whether you like it or not"
so besides the very short trip tp a place where you can still see the s'pore city skyline (is that sad or wat?!) decided to paper myself back here too. hee. went for manicure + pedicure, hair wash + hair cut and full facial.
what can i say? it's been a pampering holiday... :)

Next time, no more last min work! tho i did quite a no. of readings... which i din use. sigh. juz looking at it as extra info learnt. whatever... life's too short for regrets. ;)

first, i wanna say, "UniSIM website is SCREWED!!!" i dunno what the tech team is doing, but think they should spend more time to improve their security system or firewall or whatever u call it. the one that prevents hackers fr entering and putting virus on the website! it doesnt take a comp geek to know that! gosh! hello... u r putting our computers at risk!
oh yes, i forgot to mention in my previous post. went midnight cycling a few days wif th e Onzah team before CNY. coverd 40 clicks! achievement! hee. it was tiring. but fun. well, it was one of my "to do" list and now i can check it off. ;) yes, i was whiny. haha. but theeveryone was nice. even mr germany. hee. they cld haf gone much faster for sure but they were accomodating. thanks peeps. till next time!
now the culture shock. so i like surprises. i oso like planning for them. BUT, when i do, they are meant for FRENS whom i hold dear. i mean, at this age, we dun really celebrate our birthdays much anyway. ok, at most, my fren's kids. yes, time haf evolved such that fr engagements to weddings to kids birthday parties. TODAY tho... i was involved in a surprise birthday party. i mean... who dare to put their name in the "no" column anyway. pressure pressure. i muz say to those involved in the planning, they are very semangat. flowers, gift, cake, decor, food and even games lah! it was special to some i guess. for the rest/most of us, we are juz going wif the flow. imagine going to a birthday party for your principal or manager or someone WAY UP there (whom u hardly speak to, and probably dun even remember much of u after the interview, unless you screw up)! like...err... ok... what do u say or do? or even put a face to it.
hmm... so i still need to get used to a new culture...

Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps - Doris Day
you won't admit you love me
and so how am i ever to know
you always tell me
perhaps perhaps perhaps
a million times i've asked you
and then
i ask you over
again
you only answer
perhaps perhaps perhaps
if you can't make your mind up
we'll never get started
and i don't wanna wind up
being parted
broken-hearted
so if you really love me
say yes
but if you don't dear
confess
and please don't tell me

It'S BeEn a WhiLe
ok so it's been a while now. well maybe more than a while considering that it's almost 2 months since i last logged in. cant even remember my password. heh. not that i've got nothing to write abt since jan. there're lots actually. let's juz blame it on the lazy bug.
for short, jan and feb passed by very quickly as i got to meet frens whom i havnt met for a long time. let's c...
ex colleagues even sha who's living down under came back for a while...
hss frens at breeks wif lots of funny pics...
nie frens to celebrate burfdays and special treats. such a sporting bunch...
surina and baby (ok, maybe toddler)...
nyjc classmates (to think we are ALL still STUDENTS! after 10 years!)...
eldds frens (crappy as usual wif lots of laughter)...
a fren of a fren (haha. wierd. but i cant put a finger on this one. ponyo! ;) ) after 2 yrs? ...
nin's frens (well some of them are common frens) for the "tak menjadi" futsal at ECP so played on the sand in the dark and got bruises the next day. PAIN!...
and him of coz (to some special/different places) ...
so thats about most of my frens. love to meet up wif them once in a while. missing u already!
ok, lets get back to the present. so jan was gd. in fact fr sep to jan was GREAT! feb, reality sets in. u know.. sometimes, no matter how much u plan, only He can make it happen. Fate, as some ple call it. no matter how far one tries to run away fr it, it doesnt get any further.
so... i left the profession thinking i wanna do sth else. die die say wanna find sth else. i gave myself till end of feb b4 i will try for the same job again considering that my account probably wont hold much longer. applied for many many jobs and only ONE teaching job. in fact, i dun even know what i was applying for. when the call for interview came, i dint even know the position i was applying for! i had to ask another interviewee. nice makcik. hee. and yes, i got the job, to my surprise. it was that easy. so i say, it's fated. i'm fated to teach! no matter how much i try to run away fr it. perhaps there's more to it than meets the eye. perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. praying that it's all for the best.

JuMpiNg ShiP
Considering that Friendster blog decides to screw up every now and then, just tot i should jump ship. Not that I have lots to say or write abt, but hey, sometimes, i just wanna jot it down somewhere. Diaries just dun work for me. It never did.
Anyway, the timing ain't so bad. Well, I've closed a significant chapter in my life last Sep and since it has just turned 2009, it's time to open a new chapter in my life. Going back to writing "student" as my occupation needs some getting used to. Tho i still need to find a job. I must say, as I read my past entries since 2005, many of them were written in angst. Some of which I cant even recall what I was so angry abt. Perhaps it's better this way. Why harbour the negative thoughts rite. That makes life even bitchier than it already is. A fren once said, "Nobody said it was easy. No one ever said it would be this hard." As I mentioned in my very first post before,
"well, for those who are reading this blog of mine, dun expect much of those "life is beautiful" or "it has been a great day" or "ain’t the present a gift indeed" kinda postings coz the harsh reality of life is, life sucks. it’s what you do to a sucky life and hopefully it wont be THAT sucky after all. good times never last long. it’s a sad thing but its true isn’t it?"
A pessimist some might say. I can't say I'm feeling that way now coz I'm currently enjoying a bummer's life - while it lasts. Sadly, I've got to face the reality of life as my bank account starts depreciating slowly but surely. Anyway, I'll try hard to look at the brighter side of life. Hey, I'm still hopeful for better years and memories ahead. Insya' allah.
For anyone who wanna know where i left off, it's http://lorynnm.blog.friendster.com/
