bl, when u said i was selfish in wanting to go study somewhere near my bro so i cld stay w him and makes things more convenient and set my parents' hearts at ease..... i disputed u............ i said i was being selfless............... u said i was selfish cuz i didn't wanna step out of my comfort zone of having someone near me........... i don't see how selfish that can get, when at e end of e day, evryone benefits from it.... except me.......... cuz i don't get to study what i really wanan tajke cuz it's too far away..... cuz i'd ***quote*** die travelling ***unquote***..........
but somehow............ i feel.......... that evry now and then, evryone has to be selfish at one point or another............ to indulge in themselves........... to make emselves feel good................. cuz if we don't,............... we'll just implode from all e pent up emotions within us................
i felt so liek bloggin twice in e past 3 days.............. felt e violent urge to pen down e torrent of thoughts running thru me................... but i didn't....... and now i seem to have kinda lost it............. well............ nvm............. they're all at e back of my mind..............
but one thing's for sure............ i am selfish........... not in e way u said it bl.................... but in another way............... if u do recall our conversation just now........... u'll know what i mean.................... very so often we make use of the ppl around us just so to make us feel better bout ourselves.............. when we don't really appreciate what e other person is doing, the very fact that e person is doing it
.......... is what counts.......... isn't it true? don't tell me i'm wrong........ i know i'm not.............
somewhere within that nice demeanor there lies a selfish narcissistic callous entity wanting to be fed..............
have u ever thought back on to ur old sch days? when evrything was simple and plain, and evryone out forthright and frank?
somehow, as the years pass, the ability to stolidly call someone a friend, to know for sure that wherever u turn, that person will be two steps behind you, no more; no less, just fades with time.............. there is no such thing as friends forever............ well.......... mayb it starts off that way............ but the
friends bit slowly fades to becomes
acquaintances...........
in primary sch u said things that u meant then, however impossible they were.............. things like
friends forever..........
best friends forever.........
now.......... u say things u don't mean............. however possible they are................ like
keep in touch.............
let's meet up sometime..........
things become touch-and-go.................. flitting images from a broken projector............
thank you darren for showing me that, in your own little unknowing way........... someday lil brother, you'll see what i mean.............. blood is thicker than water.......... how many of us actually believe that? not many
Quote from
Legends of the Fall, beautifully poignant movie............ i can watch it a million times............ it's amazing how fickle the human spirit is, yet no one realises.......... and loves the human for its fickleness................
'Forever was too long'
ouch
It's amazing
how you make your face just like a wall
how you take your heart and turn it off
how I turn my head and lose it all
It's unnerving
how just one move puts me by myself
there you go just trusting someone else
now I know I put us both through hell
I'm not saying
there wasn't nothing wrong
I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me
I'm not saying
we ever had the right to hold on
I just didn't wanna let it get away from me
But if that's how it's gonna leave
straight out from underneath
then we'll see who's sorry now
If that's how it's gonna stand, when
you know you've been depending on
the one you're leaving now
the one you're leaving out
It's aggravating
how you threw me on
and you tore me out
how your good intentions turn to doubt
the way you needed time to sort it out
Tell me is that how it's going to end
when you know you've been depending on
the one you're leaving now
and the one you're leaving out

it's amazing how such a huge piece of our future's dependant on that one slip of paper; that one recommendation; that one box to tick in.................
have u ever wondered
what's gonna happen now? and faced a blank wall that stares back at u.......... e smooth flawless surface stretched out for miles and e cool reverberation of ur question just repeats itself over and over again, each time softer than the previous, until it gradually fades out into the distance?
i have...... i
am
i dunno when vca's gonna reply me.......... if they'll ever reply me............. mindlessly plunging into something i had a vague notion about, and falling headlong into it........ unable to clamber out and stuck in it's abyss..........
how do u endeavour to emerge as the triumphant few in a circle so elite that only approx. 15 are chosen worldwide? not to forget we are asian...... with yellow skin and dark hair......... among the fair hair and skinned ones.................
when all your hopes are pinned on it, and the next 2yrs depends solely on it........... and you have absolutely no way to do anything about it........... all you can do, is wait........... for the reply from a faceless entity, telling you to further wait.................. and when the finally time comes, you don't know if all the waiting will eventually pay off............. or if you'll just fall flat on your face...... again....... and not know where to turn to................ except to
wait........ and see if an option opens up.............
the inertia.......... the inability to do something concrete, that nothing can be done, and evrything lies in someone elses hands.......... is
killing me..............
i cannot take this uncertainty, this lack of knowledge of what lies ahead............... am i to spend the next year and a half in such a limbo? pls Lord......... give me a sign; guide me along; show me the path................. i don't know what i can do

i am angry
i am so pissed
i dunno what e fuck i can do to make myself feel better
blame other people?
vent my frustration on someone else?
the more i try to blame someone else;
the testier i get;
the more irritable i become;
the more i get pissed off w e people around me whom i expect to just disappear and leave me alone,
the worse i feel.
i am so angry.......
with myself
it's difficult to actually turn around and point the finger at myself, but i realise that if i don't, i won't be able to set my heart at ease.........
it's so easy to just hurl curses and swears at the world around us...... the inconsiderate people, the selfish people, the thoughtless people............. but ultimately, the hardest person to forgive is always oneself.............. for we all think we're perfect and not subject to the very same vices and flaws that we reprimand others for....... but we're not.......... and when we make the same mistake, it's so much harder to accept our own flaws............... for our imperfection
how do you forgive yourself?
today's sermon was about forgiveness............ about forgiving other people who have done us wrongs or injustices....... people who are scum and lowly.......... people who don't deserve what they get...............
but it didn't touch on forgiving oneself.............
the torment was almost enough to kill............. the agony, the vileness that fills yourself............ that you refuse to acknowledge and just wish that you could push it all unto someone else.......... some faceless scapegoat.............. but it's not possible............... for it all falls flat................ and returns to haunt you............ until you can come to terms with your own imperfection......... your vulnerability............ your lack of judgement.............. and say to yourself 'it wasn't your fault....... you really didn't know any better............. there is nothing you can do now.............. evrything happens for a reason.......... and that it's all in His hands'........... then can you find peace.......
So scream you, out from behind the bitter ache
Heavy on the memory, you need most
still want love, ugly, smooth and delicate
not without affection, not alone
And instead of wishing that it would get better
man you're seeing that you just get angrier
And it's good that I'm not angry
I just need to get over,
I'm not angry, anymore
Cry when you cry, run when you run
love when you love
represent the ashes
that you leave behind
And instead of wishing that the road had shoulder
man you're seeing that you're sinking over time
And it's good that I'm not angry
I just need to get over
I'm not angry
it's dragging me under
I'm not angry
I'm not angry it's never been enough
it gets inside and it tears you up
I'm not angry but I've never been above it
you see through me don't you

Vagueness and objectless anxiety in the present, and in the future a continual sacrifice leading to nothing - that was all that lay before him. What had he to live for? What had he to look forward to? Why should he strive? To live in order to exist? Why, he had been ready a thousand times before to give up existence for the sake of an idea, for a hope, even for a fancy. Mere existence had always been too little for him; he had always wanted more. Perhaps it was just because of the strength of his desires that he had thought himself a man to whom more was permissible than to others. - Crime and Punishment
isn't it true how many of us think ourselves more worthy and deserving than others? is this a common phenomenon, of the human self; the fantasies and delusions......... or is it human nature? to be so base and vile and self-assuming that we place ourselves on a pedestal before the others in our own eyes?
but often....... it is this quest for greatness, for the massive, that crushes us, and disables us more than it aids us............ and deems us even lower than we were before...........
Last time I talked to you,
You were lonely and out of place
You were looking down on me,
Lost out in space
We laid underneath the stars,
Strung out and feeling brave
I watched the red orange glow,
I watched you float away
Down here in the atmosphere,
Garbage and city lights
You've gone to save your tired soul,
You've gone to save our lives
I turned on the radio,
To find you on satellite
I’m waiting for this sky to fall,
I’m waiting for a sign
All we are is all so far
You're falling back to me
You're a star that I can see
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
Hope you remember me,
When you're home sick
and need a change
I miss your purple hair,
I miss the way you taste
I know you'll come back someday,
On a bed of nails I’ll wait
I’m praying that you don’t burn out
Or fade away
All we are is all so far
You're falling back to me
You're a star that I can see
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling back to me
You're a star that I can see
I know you're out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling back to me
I know
I know
You're falling out of reach
I know

liboM?? quickquick!!~!
it really is a brand, and i really did see it somewhere........ though not in e form u'd expect it to be......... can someone make a quick guess?? what's
liboM??
it's amazing how something so commonplace to you can suddenly be offered to you in a whole new different prospect through such a common medium which u've completely taken for granted all the time.............. (this
is with relation to the previous qns posed...... eheh)
if u're torn between obligation and practicality............ which do u choose? knowing that if u choose practicality u'll risk going back on your word w someone but make loads of ppl happier and more relieved and lighten their burden and unease......... but choosing obligation would make the ppl closest to u sadder and more worried.......... but u've gotta keep your word right? i dunno........... it's a semi catch22........ an almost chicken-and-egg situation......... which do u choose? it's like wld u rather b deaf or blind? i wld give anything to keep my sight..... to live in a world of darkness is so frightsome.......... e thought of it just scares e pants off me......... but then again............. what good is your sight if u can see a fantastic wonderful band.............. see e audience go wild before ur very eyes......... yet u cld never feel the ecstasy they're goin thru just cuz u lack that one sense................. what do u do?
