sometimes. ( continued)

sometimes, you have so many things to say, so many opinions to air, you lash it all out. but sometimes, you become tongue tied, because for many situations, words fail you.
and all you can do is desperately hope that the other party hears the words you shout out inside.
but most of the time, they dont, because people dont listen enough.
sometimes, you cry so hard, you feel every single ache and you wish that it will go away.
sometimes you hold someone tight, and you feel every single breath, and you hold on tighter.
sometimes you wonder if the person you hold is feeling it too.
sometimes we can be so judgemental it's scary.
sometimes we are so righteous, it's ironic.
sometimes we fail to realise life is a paradox, or a mere satire.
sometimes you hold on to an idea, because we refuse to believe that it died out long ago.
sometimes we should believe dumbledore and acknowledge that love is the greatest magic of all.
sometimes you listen to a phrase, or lyrics, and it hits you hard.
and sometimes you want to share it with others, but you know the impact would be different.
sometimes you wish life can be a little easier.
but sometimes we should be thankful for our problems.
sometimes we should pray more.
sometimes perhaps allowing ourselves to feel a little regret is ok, if only to make us not repeat the same mistakes.
sometimes you want to tell your buddy how much you admire her and you are grateful for all the times shared together.
sometimes you lie awake at night not wondering which direction to head.
sometimes you are at the crossroads all the gawd damn time.
sometimes all you need is a little strength.
sometimes you want to pick up the phone to call someone.
but sometimes the words i miss you are just , words.
sometimes you want to tell someone how special they are. but sometimes you are afraid they will not believe you.
but sometimes you should just say it anyway, because people like to know that they mean something to someone.

and sometimes, i wonder if you know, that some of these 'sometimes' , i am speaking to you.

----------------------------------
and so the new year beckons.
it breaks my heart, upon recollecting some of the events that occured during the year.
but now we stand at the edge, it seems only right that we can turn our head around to look at yesterdays.
a new year, a new start. sure, some baggage and burden will follow you, but many other things, you get a second chance.
but sometimes it's painful. because of the decision you make to leave some things behind.
so there are mixed feelings. but 2007 has to be a better year, because we make it so.

so happy new year to you. and when i say happy, i mean happy.

sometimes.

some things tire you out.
some appearances are hard to keep up.
sometimes you want to hold on to something that you have already let go.
some emotions are hard to keep in check.
some arguments have dissolved over time.
sometimes happiness is right in front of your face.
sometimes we grip sadness and we refuse to let it go because we are sadistic. sometimes you realise that platonic is all it ever will be.
and sometimes you are thankful it remains that way.
sometimes you can have silent conversations with people and you still remain satisfied.
sometimes lying down to stare at the stars make you start wishing for things that will never come true.
sometimes you wonder why you love to dream when your present life holds so much promise.
and sometimes you chastise yourself and decide that life is not so bad after all.
sometimes memories flood unexpectedly.
sometimes you smile in amusement because the memories are funny.
sometimes you cant remember something exactly because you successlly erased it because it horrifies you to think about it.
sometimes we laugh till our stomach hurts because of a funny joke. (thank me people!! haha )
sometimes we feel too alone.
sometimes it is unnecessary because we have wonderful people around us.
sometimes we are melodramatic, it is funny.
sometimes you think about people a certain way.
sometimes a special song plays on the radio and you sing along with joy.
sometimes you feel like getting drunk.
sometimes you feel foolish because of the hangover.
sometimes we dont realise the power we have over others, and we unknowingly and irresponsibly abuse it, and end up hurting someone you never wish to hurt.
sometimes things can be prevented if people think before they leap.
sometimes we let emotions rule us.
and sometimes we should.
but sometimes we shouldnt.
sometimes, we should just slow down. and maybe each of us can be more contented.
sometimes, you should let yourself go.
sometimes, it isnt too good to analyze too much.
sometimes, you may not feel the moment.
but sometimes, the moment is in front of you, if only you would reach out for it.
sometimes, maybe you are right all along.
but sometimes, maybe not.

christmas is round the corner so let's not forget its nature of goodwill towards all men.
that includes irritating drivers on the road -- in fact that's the whole point. haha
t.o.l.e.r.a.n.c.e.

listen to some jingles, soak in the festive cheer, have some quiet time reflecting the biblical importance of the day, hand out a few presents, practise your ho-ho-hos, and look forward to the day which brings us closer to the end of the year.
remember, christmas is as special as you make it out to be.

maybe you dont feel the christmas spirit because you didnt allow yourself to.

come on, unleash that kid that's been dying to get out. you've been keeping a tight rein for far too long.

i think we should all make a lifelong habit about not making drama to the unexpected, or the expected. overreaction is a priviledge we indulge in once too often.
melodramas only sole purpose is for its audience to cock an eyebrow in amusement, unless of course you have met a mate to accompany you to engage in even bigger melodrama.
perish the thought.

found new entertainment in prawning! the excitement of getting one and the frustration of getting the bait eaten with no results are still raw and fresh. ( pardon the pun)
became bimbotic every time a prawn was caught, too much screaming among the 3 females. hahah
ps: do you know how horrifying a live prawn is? the ones with their pincers still intact, and prawns are not shrimps! they are highly agressive.
lion you're the man!

i want to go prawning again.
