It's that time of the year again....

This year was prety good.

But some good things had to end when they started becoming sour.

Met her to return her stuff. There were some tinges of sadness in the air, for me at least. For all the accusations and everything else, it was definitely love. And it is heartbreaking to me that sometimes life sucks for not everything can be worked out. But life goes on, everybody moves on.....
All in all, no regrets, for the beginning, the middle and the end.

And now a new year approaches.

With it comes important exams, financial straightening ( I really hope so), my driver's licence ( my TP is in damn March) and last but not least, a true test of what pure sacrifce and effort is.

For something to succeed, you must first give it a chance to fail..

Learn from the lessons of 2004, grow up a little more, think a litte more and feel a little more.

I wish everyone a better 2005.

As compared to those people, our problems are mite.

Sometimes we focus too much on the flaws of our lives, without thinking how those people long to have our problems instead of what they have to go through.

A disaster struck so close to home should be an awakening to us all.

Yet unfortunately, some remain asleep.

All of us should channel our thoughts and actions into something more positive yeah?

Take a good look around you, and say a little prayer of thanksgiving to Him for yourself.

Then say a big prayer for those affected.

And maybe try to take some time and effort to go down to the Red Cross for some donations?

Tuesday, December 28, 2004

Let's take some time to pray for those affected by the tsunami attack, as well as say a prayer of thanksgiving that we did not experience its full impact and its consequences.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I dont need Santa to grant me a long Christmas wish.. cause the things that I want, I already have.

maybe just an Ixus or an Olympus?

Haha.

God Bless everyone.

Christmas is just round the corner....

Went to town with Yun to grab something for about 15 minutes and it nearly ruined the mood because of the crowd! Arg. Thank goodness it was just a short while and thank goodness Mau could pick us up.

I feel christmassy this year... not so much of the festive cheer, but just a general feeling of contentedness.

*sings* Everything is gonna be okay....

I used to hate relying on technology, thinking it was impersonal and insincere.
But now I know that these emails and phones and microphones and webcams are my assets .

At least I know this is a healthy relationship cause Im not moping when she's not around. miss her yes, but not overly pining.

Sigh.

Sometimes it's funny how you can have so much faith in something almost similar to a losing battle.

Maybe that's what love is. To enjoy and savour every minute spent together. And to know that what we have runs deep inside, and suddenly the future doesnt seem that important, cause you already know that you had the chance of loving and being loved by someone once.

ok.

enough of that rambling.

YUN IS BACK! YAY!!

Meeting all my VIPs later. Cant wait.

:D
*big grin*

I bought a light blue adidas cap yesterday... I love it! But it makes me look really young. Actually it's baby blue in colour.. but then that would make me seem even younger.
oh well. It's better to look younger than what your age is rather than older right?
After all that would be my benefit next time.

I love my family. My family loves me.
I love my friends. My friends love me.
I love you. You love me.
What more can anyone ask for?

Wednesday, December 22, 2004

What if the recent sms you received from someone was the last sms you'll ever receive again?
What if the conversation you just ended would be the last time you ever talk to her again?
What if the time she waved goodbye, it was really the end?
What if the time you got together for happy laughs became the final laugh you'll ever hear?

If you loved ones leave tmr, all the above would come true.
If you leave tmr, all the above would also come true.

It's scary how we take tomorrow for granted.

How do we celebrate life?

So many times we know that if we turned back time we would have done things a little differently.
So many things we do now, we know we might regret.

There are so many big decisions to make. So many different paths for you to choose from.
So what would your choice be.

I always try to base my decision on this little mantra. "if this were my last day on earth, where would I go, what would I do, who would I choose to talk to, to spend my time with."

And now, I really am living by it.

But what about everyone else?

Life is weird.

Hard Rock last night. ( Mau!! mee soto mee soto.... )

The music is good.

But Rouge is still my current favourite. Because there's actually space for you to move. Ok I must have repeated this a thousand times.

But hey their music is good too!

I keep replaying the Kevin Lyttle (little?) song. And the song 'confused' Dont know who it's by.

I love those 2 songs! Was dragging Mau to dance with me when those 2 songs came up.

Well not dragging. she was pretty willing. Haha
ok sorry had to adjust my ego there.

But I like dancing with Mau. She makes me just... daydream! haha it's just the music and I. Music and us. Whichever.

But it's true! Mau dances as though she's in her own world. So I just enter that world! And it's nice.

ok this isnt making sense.

When you guys dance with Mau you'll know what I mean.

Late nights for the past few days.

She's coming home tonight! So maybe another late night?

ok that sounded a little weird. No innuendos!

I want to watch Blade trinity. I think Jessica Biel is hot.

4 days to YUN! yippee!

Ok I need to get some rest.

And my incessant cough is back. Again!'

And I've got craving for my hooegarden. Mau! We didnt satisfy me yesterday! And we didnt eat in the end!

Saturday, December 18, 2004

Let me hold you.... Girl caress my body... You got me going crazy... You Turn me on ..Turn me on...
Let me jam you... Girl wind all around me ..You got me going crazy ....You Turn me on ..Turn me on...

I love this song!
I just absolutely love it!

I dedicate this to you!
If I were on the highest cliff, on the highest riff,
And if you slipped off the side and clinched on to your life, In my grip, I would never, ever let you down

Circumstances and issues all on one side. Love on the other. If love is overrided by the former, you leave.
That's called prioritising. Sort of. But put it plainly, it just puts everything into perspective.

But I think it's terribly sad when the weightage of circumstances are so high. Issues, can be worked on. But circumstances cannot be touched, it is totally out of your control.
Interracial relationships, homosexual relationships, interreligion............
Pessimistically, it's doomed right from the start. Because the problems that incur are going to be so huge!
But then, sometimes, it doesnt do any good to think so far. Because if you work on making that love heavier, maybe, just maybe, the severity of this problem might reduce.

No. Make that a huge maybe.

Went to Louey's house yesterday. wow louey your mum is pretty! No wonder our Louey is blessed with such good looks. I think that visit left Gwen and I feeling a little.... bogged down by reality? ok that's not a very apt description but it's the best one I can come up with right now.

Enough of that.
let's talk about happy stuff!

After the visit, Maumau picked us up. ok I just found it highly amusing that she went to Louey's place while we were all patiently waiting for her at the bus stop. haha ok nevermind.
We then drove to ALTIVO~! met Dele there.... had yummy potato wedges... drinks.. Maumau and I discovered we both do not like spirits but prefer beer! yay!
one up to beer bellys! Hahah TOUCH WOOD!

Mau was ticked off by the valet though. He practically demanded more tip from her! Just cause she drives a Mazda 6?? If she took the Camry she has to what.. pay double? if she took the mercs she's got to pay triple? If she took the Porsche she's got to pay quadraple?? If she drives a Ferrari she's got to give all her money???????
haha ok so she doesnt have so many cars but you get my drift.

Skived off work today. Oops. But really we reached home in the morning so you cant expect me to get up in the morning. Ok but it was very irresponsible of me. *ashamed* *can(2) kui(4)*

3 days.....
and it's so hard! *grumpy look*

Friday, December 17, 2004

Initially, I worried about so many things. ok what's new Jem is a worrier.
I worried about what others might think of her.
I worried about what others might think of us.
I worried about others' scepticism.

but now, I shall only worry about things that deserve my worry.

Life is complicated.

Rouge last night. I love going to Rouge, cause not many people go there so there's ample dance space. I really cant stand it when I have to squeeze in with the crowds. I just wont move then.
But the last 2 times I went dancing was nice. But of course, the company was the one which made it perfect.

I'm satisfied.

SHIYI! YOU LA! TAKE SO LONG TO COME DOWN!
haha we didnt get to dance together!

I cant wait to meet my friends. Seems like I have several things to update them about. The nicest part is that at the end of the day they'll give me the support I need.
Cause they're just so...... sigh! Indescribable. Hugs!

ok ladies.. for those comments.. can you please help me to raise $1000.
Haha

I miss my michie baby!

Wednesday, December 15, 2004

Just came back from a nice walk with Gwenniepoo and Princeypoo.
Thanks Gwen for keeping upwith all my babbles!
I was trying to tell her about stuff, but it was more like talking out loud to myself.
And it did me good.
cause I cleared my mind about lots of things.

And I'm ready to face the coming year!

Love you baby.

Let me start off by hollering....

CONGRATULATIONS TO MY SWEETIE YUN!

wow! You're the first among us to graduate! Haha i'm so so so proud of you! See all of us didnt really share your worries about not passing because we all knew that you could do it! cant wait for you to come home to pop some champagne!

Time flies..
We are all growing up....

Yes, time flies. I shall have to concentrate on that next year. Was looking back at this year, just doing some random minor reflection. Soon, I shall be giving my room a big cleaning to prepare for next year. I dont know, it's just my mentality I guess. That a new year brings a new start, so it's best to do some clearing.

Sigh. Sometimes your thoughts can really drive you crazy. Sometimes you worry so much about the future, and what it may hold, even though you just know it is entirely out of your hands.
Feelings are so complex, but they are so real, and the fears you try to shake off can eat you alive.
I should leave my life what He holds for me, and try to have faith.
Till then, I shall just work hard.
you reap what you sow..... sacrifice and effort will bring me a long way.
in all aspects of life.
I am determined not to make the same mistakes again.
For I have learnt my lesson.
I may have paid a relative small price in comparison to what I deserve to get, but I still paid a price.

oops. sorry. babbling again.

And yes that's the problem with me nowadays. I tend to talk in random.

I need to get myself in check.

You see, when something bad happens, you cry, and you grieve. You fall into the flames of misery, you replay countless images in your mind, which only serves to dampen you even more.

You see, when someone cuts you up, you either stitch yourself up, or you deepen the wound.

You see, everyday you hurt. Each day you wake up feeling like you never slept at all. Each day you move around as though you life is aimless.
But one day you wake up.
Because you get tired of wallowing in your misery?
Or you made up your mind that it doesnt have to hurt that much.

You see, gradually in time, you know that somewhere out there, there are other worlds to sing in. There are other worlds that birds chirp, other melodies that play.

You see, people call this the healing process.

But you see, I never needed this process.
You see, I skipped the whole process to the end.
I found my other worlds to sing in.

That's not wrong.

You see, many people judge.
but you see, I dont care.

Tuesday, December 14, 2004

sometimes it's magical the way things fall into place so easily.

Was thinking about some things, and what irks me is how people judge so easily, or readily believe what they see or hear. What irks me even more is that I'm guilty of that sometimes as well. When someone tells me something, my first instinct would be to believe the person who tells me and then jump to my own conclusions.

I think I should work on not forming own assumptions can keep reminding myself that things are not always what they appear to be.

There are so many cases of miscommunication.
I think we should all learn to work on that too.

On a lighter note, I passed my Advance! yay!
One more step towards my Camry or my Lexus...

Sunburn.
ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch.
Aching legs!
ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch.

Happy belated birthday Gwenniepoo! Hope you enjoyed our nature outing. Too bad we didnt get to see the wild boar but hey we saw that spider and the baby monitor lizard.

:>

And it was no ordinary spider either. It was so HUGE! It was the size of a hand!
yucks...goosebumps... (gooseberries! hurhur ! sorry inside joke)

Over and out.

The wrong behind the right.
And the right behind the wrong.

The irony of this contradiction never fails to amaze me.
But it never fails to frustrate me either.

And that's an oxymoron by itself.

How can someone be so happy yet so sad?

life is strange.

Time waits for no man.
but Man wait all the time.
Like now.

And that is Jem's babbles for the day.

The Search is over

How can I convince you
What you see is real
Who am I to blame you
For doubting what you feel
I was always reaching
You were just a girl I knew
I took for granted
The friend I have in you

I was living for a dream
Loving for a moment
Taking on the whole world
That was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever
The search is over
You were with me all the while

Can we last forever
Till we fall apart
At times it's so confusing
The questions of the heart
You followed me through changes
And patiently you'd wait
Till I came to my senses through
Some miracle of faith

I was living for a dream
Loving for a moment
Taking on the whole world
That was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever
The search is over
You were with me all the while

Now the miles stretch out behind me
Loves that I have lost
Broken hearts like victims of the day
Then good luck it finally struck
Like lightning from the blue
And every highway's leading me back to you

Now at last I hold you
Now all is said and done
The search has come full circle
Our destinies are one
So if you ever loved me
Show me that you give a damn
You'll know for certain
The man I really am

I was living for a dream
Loving for a moment
Taking on the whole world
That was just my style
Then I touched your hand
I could hear you whisper
The search is over
Love was right before my eyes...

I am so in love with this song! It's so meaningful.
Glad the guy in the picture finally came to his senses.
This song was written in the era where the lyrics were actually hits home with the writer. Where the writer actually means every single word.
Which makes it even more sincere.
Sigh.
Go download!

And what's wrong with Blogger? I cant find the button to click on to bold the words or anything. hmm.

It's a lightning night today..
time to hide under the blankets..

Thursday, December 09, 2004

Maybe I've already been through my share of hard knocks in life, leading to the belief that a lonely desperate night will eventually give way to sunshine when you are ready to open the curtains that have kept you in that dark forever.

When you experience a trial in life, everyone knows that you emerge from it stronger than before. But what I cannot comprehend is that during that misery, everyone gets too caught up
in it, they wallow in it, they spill their hearts out about the issues closest to them, but when that misery is over, suddenly the affirmations that they held then has since been changed.
Well it's funny how one can change their perspective so easily.

So maybe we're back to that big debate. What the hell is love?
There are so many different opinions, but of course, the one that most people hold on to is that love is never impossible. And that love can see a relationship through everything. I used to believe in that, but yes, the word is used. Past tense. Because love, for all its greatness, has one flaw. Which is that love has different measures.
I love my mother. No matter what she does to me now, or what she has done, or what she will do, that love will never run out.
If someone pointed a gun at her, I would still willingly take that bullet for her.
but then, it led me to wonder, if my mum wasnt the kind of mum she is now, would I have that same unconditional love for her.

The theory holds for other relationships.

Do we love someone a lot because the other party shows us and proves to us their love?
And if the other party, though claiming lots of love, and you know it to be true, yet it has never really been proven because you were let down time and time again?
Do you stop loving them?
I dont think so.
But I definitely think the love is not enough anymore.

I have made this very clear to whom I had a serious relationship with. Do not take me for granted. And do not take a break up as a game. Towards the end, there will be many warnings, many danger signals. And I would tell you they are danger signals and warnings. If you fail to respond, one day, I will snap. I will walk out and go. No matter how much it may hurt me to go, I will walk. And I will never return.Because for me to reach that ultimatum, it means there were countless of chances. It's as simple as that.

I can walk away. perhaps even easily. Because I dont let my emotions control me. because yes I am a practical person. Because I am always in control. Yes I am strong. Because hurt doesnt stay forever.
You break up, you hurt, you let go you move on.
heartless maybe? But as I said before, maybe I've already been through so much that I know I can handle it. because all these years I have trained myself to be the one in full control.
never to crumble to my feelings.

For all their misery, in time people realise things.
That whatever happened may hurt but it's ok to move on.
That life can go on, and you have moments of happy times with others.
That's what people realise , in time, that things dont have to be so bad.
That things arent so bad after all.

It just takes me a shorter time than an average person.
Because I heal faster due to my putting things into perspective more quickly than others.
Because I realise all the above more easily than the rest.

Is that so wrong?
Apparently.

shrugs. whatever.

Randoms.

I love wearing ties.
I like it when people wear ties. Jo you looked good!
I love cold weather.
I love my jacket.
I need money to go shopping.
I have a lot of things to buy.
I miss my friends.
I miss my classmates.
I want to witness the court trial that we werent allowed to watch.
I feel so inquisitive. aka kpo.
I want to eat geylang frog leg.
I want to eat seafood.

sigh.
...........................
tired.
but happy.

oh did I mention? I have no exams. hahahaha...
but I really need to study. new year resolution!
:>

Christofori teaching went quite well..
And it wasnt tiring at all.. because I have such long breaks in between and I have numerous short breaks...
I realised that I quite enjoy teaching..
Students are quite a joy..
most of the girls were carrying this certain power puff girls bag.. and wearing incredibles skirt...geee....
one of my students is called Amitayus..

And the pay was slightly more than I expected.
Not bad for just 4 times a month.

I have no exams.
yippeee...
wont be going to school on tues and wed..
but since thurs in the last day..... I'll turn up....

Saturday, December 04, 2004

When you're close to tears remember... someday it will all be over...

Funny how most people tend to forget that when they're caught up in misery. But then again, when you're in misery, this serves no purpose at all.

Well, let it out and let it go.
That's how I try to live by.

Met up with Crys last evening, ate bloody steak at California Bistro. Haha Mau was turned off at the sight of it.
IF YOU DINE AT CALIFORNIA, TRY THE APPETIZER CALLED SAUTE MUSHROOM.
yummmmmmmmmmmyyy.....
Last evening went pretty well... it was so comfortable...
:>
PLEASE REMEMBER YOUR CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS!

Had my final theory today. The first time I took it, I said 'oh, it was so easy! But I think I will fail. Because I suck at theory'
Now. 'oh it was so easy again! But I think I will fail. But then, maybe I can pass.'
*prays*....
I'm tired of all the delays.
I'm tired of taking cabs.
I'm tired of motion sickness.
I'm tired of crowds.

Night safari later that evening. Wow gwenniepoo you did really well!! And I laughed at your jokes. haha but seriously I think you're a great presenter and I'm NOT just saying that out of loyalty whatsoever.
:>

First day at Christofori tomorrow. Sigh.
Concentrate on the money....
concentrate on the money....
concentrate on the money....
concentrate on the money....
concentrate on the money...

my name is jem ignatius goh!
