You take me as I am
Into your new scarred hands
and when I run so far away
you always call me back again
into your open arms
not matter what ive done
amazing grace has found me here
because of what you've done, for me

Just a friend.


Don't know why I bother sometimes to ask.


Should just ignore.


Whatever.


You make it sound like I'm not allowed to ask, or be concerned.


And nowadays, messages go unreplied. Even if it's just a friendly chatter or joke.


It's not the same as last time.


But yeah.


Really, whatever.

The past few months have been recking havoc on me.


All the wild thoughts, all the endless ramblings and all the over thinking.


It's time for me to put all of these behind and move on.


I got to learn never to give my heart away, especially when nothing is going to happen.


It just makes me hurt. Not anymore though.


I'm over it.


80%.


I don't know why I'm typing this but I guess it's like closing one chapter of my life.


Finally I can let go and move on.


No more unhappiness and I can smile and laugh.


So much more free and happier!


I've said for so long that I'm giving up, yet I never did.


Till now.


It can only be a good thing.


Right?

I saw this on Abel's Blog and I thought I'll do the same. Enjoy my stupid facts.

::Stupid facts of astO::
1. I hate soya bean.
2. I love the Beach Boys.

6. I love Manchester United.
7. My favourite car is the Mini Cooper.
8. I actually like skirts, but I don't wear them because I'm not a girly girl.
9. Ditto for make up. Even if I use it, it doesn't show up on my face so no point.
10. I can't cycle.
11. I love doing art.
12. I use a Kenwood Chef Classic Mixer when I'm mixing dough.
13. I use my discman when I sleep. It's plugged into my ears.
14. I can only sleep 2 hours when I do that.
15. I hate doing furniture design.
16. I love drafting. Somewhat.
17. Copic Markers and colour pencils are my kids.

Okay, I'm back.


After a long layoff.


Well, okay, not thatttt loooonng.


To SZ: I din know you want to go! If I knew earlier, I will ask you to go lah. Next time ok? hahah...


To JingHuiiii: hahaha.. Here's an update. Look at the other for more. heheheh



Today's training was damn cool.


My ball's on the right track. Yahoo!


Thanks to Nick for helping me.


But must remember not to grip.


Tomorrow better remember there's a roll off.


I want to bowl more!



After training, the whole bunch of us when to Macs.


I wasn't too keen on Macs actually.


That's not called proper food.


But we couldn't have Kenny Rogers cause it ain't halal.


After that, 7 of us when to Marina South to play arcade.


Hilarious.


Me, She Na, Jill, ShaoZong, Nick, Boon and Alvin.


Then sat in Victor's and talked and talked and talked.


Before heading home.


I just woke up some more, and my net connection is down.


Well... I don't know what to type already.


If I can think of anything I will update.


Again.

Zouk was fantastic.


So were the drinks.


I think I almost got drunk.


Was super high after the first drink.


I forgot to eat before I came, so I drank on an empty stomach.


Music was fantastic as well.


Mambo nights are the best.


I want to go there again.


Tomorrow will be bowling with some of the IMD gang.


Yikes, I feel extra and I don’t know most of them.


This means lugging my bowling ball to school.


I still have to complete the murals with my friends.


I need to say this here.  


Thanks to Adrian, Jinghui, Wei Shan, Xin Yi, Siyuan and Gillian


Thank you for listening to me, letting me rant and rave and offering advice.


I appreciate it.  A lot.

Jinghui tells me to chill, chew, threw, and all the other words that rhyme.


And also to throw out matters that are bugging me right now.


I must say I agree, but I just can't seem to let go.


Adrian tells me he wants to bake now.


But he's scared he'll wake the neighbourhood with the smells.


-_-|||


Okaeeee... It won't happen, because I have baked at 3 am many times before.


We're going to Zouk tomorrow.


I can't wait.


Yahoo...


Then bowling on Friday.


This week is the best.


Somewhat.


There are a lot of things bothering me now.

Looking back at this semester, there's a lot I should be thankful for. Friendships that I have made, friendships that have progressed to be closer friends rather than just acquaintances, opportunities that I have been given, I think the list will go on and on until there's no more room for typing.


I hadn't been writing essays lately. Ever since I resolved to write in sentences just because it seemed easier to read, which was probably sometime in April? But since I'm in a reminiscing mode, the best way I felt was just to write in a essay format.


Starting this semester, I felt a bit apprehensive. It was the start of being a Junior, no more Freshmen. Time where I had to grow up a bit more than the last 2 semesters. Lecturers definitely not going to be understanding anymore. School was fine the first few weeks, and then training resumed as well. I was able to meet up with mates that I had not over the off season. School started to get back into its groove. Well, the normal groove for me, juggling school with CCA. Which some people wondered how I managed to. I just managed, no how...


Much of my friendships have progressed. The many friends that I have made during my tenure as part of DES Orientation Ex-Co have stuck with me, some becoming trusted friends that I very much treasure. Having friends that was by me when I cried, when I was feeling alone, it just shows me that really, I'm not alone (ironic isn't it?). Learning from mistakes made, made me a better friend. Being there for them, helping them, it's just my nature. Sometimes, things happen that I wonder to myself, why in the first place did I help? Isn't it better that I don't? But then I come to realize later, that this is part of who I am. I can't run away no matter how much I try.


I dub this semester as the semester of Love. Pretty hilarious if you actually witness what's been going on. It started with one couple in my course. And then it spread to another discipline where by now I believe that 3 couples have sprung up. Not forgetting all the crushes, infatuation, and the likes. This is where all the juicy stuff is. I'm not different from the rest. I have likes and all too. Just that I feel that I'm not good enough for anyone. I feel most guys like to look on the outside. In theory, people always say that's not true, there are people that look on the inside. I know that, but then I always think, I'm not as pretty as the rest of the girls are, that's why I haven't gotten a date in my whole entire life. Okay, inferiority complex. I do like a guy currently, some of you may know. Currently in the midst of giving up. haha. I do reckon he knows, but I feel nothing is going to happen so yeap. That is what I'm going to do right now.


Bowling this semester has been great for me personally. I'm improving which I'm quite happy about though I still need to be more consistent. I strive to shock everybody with my scores. hahah. I know I can, just that I don't get enough practice. Oh well. Freshmen came into the squad this year. And most of them are really nice. One of my mates commented that I'm quite ''gum'' with them now. I don't know, I just am able to get along fine with anyone. Whether or not they have anything against me, that I don't know. hee...
