I knew that this day will come
Ever since the first day we met,
I've an inkling that this moment will come to pass.
That you've got to say goodbye.
I understand that you need to leave.
So please, don't give me that look.
Don't look so so sorry,
When you aren't.
All these are just tearing me apart.
I want (you so much),
You to get the hell out of here.
But your departure means the shattering of one's heart.
You are no good for me.
Yet I want you to be by my side
With the utmost passion.
I knew that this day will come
Ever since the first day we met,
I've an inkling that this moment will come to pass.
That you've got to say goodbye.
I understand that you need to leave.
So please, don't give me that look.
Don't look so so sorry,
When you aren't.
Do I have to beg?
For you to stay or to leave?
Underneath all your smiles and laughter
I finally saw how cruel you can be.
Always within my mind, dancing in my heart
And refusing to leave my scope of vision.
I am all confused.
Release me from all this bewilderment.
Leave this poor heart alone!
She can't take it - your utter loveliness
And distant coolness.
Cut me loose or pull me close.
Leave or stay.
Let me know.

Where the Lost Ones Go by Sissel Kyrkjebø and Espen Lind
Leave and let me go
You're not meant for me, I know
Carry on, carry on, and I'll stay strong
Leave and let me go
I will think of you, I know
But carry on, carry on, and I'll stay strong
Someone else will keep you warm, from now on
Someone else will keep you safe from the storm
But I'll be with you wherever you go
So you will never be alone
I'm going where the wind blows
Going where the lost ones go
I will be with you
I'm losing the love I found
Crying without a sound
Where have you gone?
I will be with you
You were my fool for love
Sent me from high above
You were the one
I will be with you
I'm going where the wind blows
Going where the lost ones go
Leave and let me go
Don't look back just let me know
You'll carry on, carry on, you must stay strong
Nothing ever looks the same in the light
Nothing ever seems to quite turn out right
But when you realize that you have been loved
You will never be alone
I'm going where the wind blows
Going where the lost ones go
I will be with you
I'm losing the love I found
Crying without a sound
Where have you gone?
I will be with you
You were my fool for love
Sent me from high above
You were the one
I will be with you
I'm going where the wind blows
Going where the lost ones go
Leave and let me go
Baby I can't come along
So carry on, carry on, you must stay strong
Leave and let me go
You're not meant for me, I know
Carry on, carry on, and I'll stay strong
Leave and let me go
I will think of you, I know
But carry on, carry on, and I'll stay strong
Someone else will keep you warm, from now on
Someone else will keep you safe from the storm
But I'll be with you wherever you go
So you will never be alone
I'm going where the wind blows
Going where the lost ones go
I will be with you
I'm losing the love I found
Crying without a sound
Where have you gone?
I will be with you
You were my fool for love
Sent me from high above
You were the one
I will be with you
I'm going where the wind blows
Going where the lost ones go
Leave and let me go
Don't look back just let me know
You'll carry on, carry on, you must stay strong
Nothing ever looks the same in the light

But when you realize that you have been loved
You will never be alone

Going where the lost ones go

You were my fool for love
Sent me from high above

I went out with Angeline last evening. It was great to spend time together again. Just the two of us. We have been going out quite frequently, but always with Ronny. No offense to him, nor am I implying that we don't enjoy his company, 'cause we do enjoy all the time we spent together, all the three of us. It is just that it has been very long since Angeline and I really spend time together. The way we used to, back in our polytechnic days.
Pardon me while I become nostalgic. Remember all those hours spent in crusade room? Doing homework, sharing secrets, playing guitar and singing worship songs? The yummy peanut butter waffles from Foodcourt 5? Dinners at staff lounge after our jogs or badminton?
Between those good old days and now, many things had happened. At one point in time, with my frustrations and all the tension between us; I had thought that that would be the end of our close relationship. That our friendship couldn't withstand the test of time and the strain of our differences and our widening gaps caused by our own inner changes.
But I am very glad that, that didn't come to pass. I thank God (for helping us, in maintaining and repairing the cracks) and thank her for trying so hard to hold it up all together, for not giving up and leaving me. It is my blessing.
Anyway, after having a yummy dinner consisting of a Grilled Fish with Lemon Butter Sauce and one sweet potato ball, we went to Tea Chapter for some fun. We ordered Osmanthus Tea and plain steamed buns to snack on while we played.
A staff performed the tea ritual for us while explainiing the terms and taught us how to go about making tea properly.
After which we started on our first game - Chinese Chess. I was totally wiped out. I could barely remeber how to play and even where the chess pieces are supposed to be placed. I must thank Angeline for being merciful and not go full powered on me.
After using me to clean the floor, we proceeded to Othello. I can never remeber Othello without remembering how Ronny knocked me off my feet (in a bad way) and dominated the game. I lost to him very badly. Let me emphasize. VERY BADLY.
I had 3 seeds (so he said, as I thought I had only 1 seed left. It must be the traumatising experience that left me having fuzzy memories of that moment.), left when he was done.
Pathetic much?
Excuse me while I wallow in self pity.
I demanded a rematch a few months or weeks later. Similiar to the previous game, initially, I dominated the game but eventually lost. AGAIN. Badly, I might add. Though I do not know whether to laugh or cry, as I was left with slightly more seeds than the first game.
Anyway......back to the topic on hand.
Angeline and I played Othello too and I lost too..........
Sob, sob......
*Gushes a river of tears......*
Why is it that I can win others but not them? Maybe my opponents are too weak. It is that or that Ronny and Angeline are too good.
Sigh.
Anyway, to round up, we stayed there till closing time. It was almost 11 pm, by the time we parted ways.
All in all, if one discounts the traumatising experiences, it was a great evening!=)

Raging and sobbing.
Throwing of tantrums
And crying one's heart out.
Retreating to the darkness
Wrapped in one's own sorrows
And drowning in troubled waters.
Tick-tock. Tick-tock.
Comes the ever classic sounds.
Steady and persistant. Reminding.
It is time, it said.
It is time.
Tick-tock. Tick-tock.
Come along now.
Calm your fears
And dry your tears.
Pick up those dull shards of your heart.
Pull back those hunched shoulders
And finish licking the still bleeding wounds.
The music is still playing
And the rest of the world's still dancing.
It is time to rejoin this macabre dance.
One cursed to repeat the cycle unto death.
Throwing of tantrums
And crying one's heart out.
Retreating to the darkness

Comes tumbling down around your ears,
Life still goes on around you.
Undeterred by the collapsing of a few insignificant ones.

Clark Gable by The Postal Service
I was waiting for a cross-town train in the london underground when it struck me (when it struck me)
that I've been waiting since birth to find a love that would look and sound like a movie
so I changed my plans I rented a camera and a van and then I called you (and I called you)
I need you to pretend that we are in love again. And you agreed too
I want so badly to believe that there is truth, that love is real
and I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd
I greased the lens and framed the shot using a friend as my stand-in (as my stand-in)
the script it called for rain but it was clear that day so we faked it
the marker snapped and I yelled quiet on the set and then called action (and then called action)
and I kissed you in a style Clark Gable would have admired I thought it classic
I want so badly to believe that there is truth, that love is real
and I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd
I know you're wise beyond your years,
but do you ever get the feeling
that your perfect verse is just a lie
you tell yourself to help you get by
I love these lines:

This immobility is making me crazy.
All those frustrations and helplessness
Makes me wanna tear my hair out.
Won't some one save me from me?
All pleasures are the same.
But all pains are its own individual.
Unique in its own exquisiteness.
Fire, hail and brimstone.
Cold aches and endless darkness.
Raging aches and gaping wounds
Oblivion and blessed numbness.
How I wish I've chosen the latter.
Cutting off all ties and bonds.
Forging ahead with this war torn body
And battle-scarred mind.
Diving in without flinching at the swift spilling blood of oneself's.
Protected, covered
By nothingness, blessed numbness.

What is life all about? Why does some people seem to have it all?
Why do the doors open for them and not for me?
Am I lacking? Am I defective, cracked?
Or just plain old nothing?
This green ugly thing is consuming me whole.
Every one's different. Meant to lead different paths.
But why do I seem so old and plain?
So tired and worn?
Why are they so sought after?
Why am I unwanted?
Why are their offers so lucrative, while mine are dry and few and far in between?
I don't wanna blame God for their seemingly blessed lifes.
For He has taught me to look underneath the appearances.
That not all lead charmed lives.
But, I cry.....
There are others who really have it all.
Why is that so?
What is so good about them that I am not?
Am I inferior? Did You forget me?
We are all Your children,
But we doesn't seem to be treated the same.
It is a greedy and selfish cry.
But I wish to have that too.
People scrambling to offer me good deals.
To be wanted and sought after.
But all those doesn't seem to be mine...

I am totally depressed that it is utterly depressing to be me.
I don't know where to start ranting.
It seems like I am being left behind again. I hate being left behind. Then again, who likes it??
"I haven't sorted out my feelings!" I want to shout.
"I still do not know about your feelings!" I want to ask him.
"Don't leave me behind!" I want to plead.
"Do you like me more than this? Do you even like me? Have I driven you away with my 'scowls' and 'glares'?" There are some many questions to ask, yet no chance at all.
"I was just nervous around you, thus the glares and scowls. I do not know how to act around you, I want to be more grown-up and serious around you, thus the glares. I do not dislike you, please know that." I want to explain all that to you. I want to make you see.
"Do you see my heart, underneath all the thorns? I want to cling onto you.
"Do you like me? Is there even an inkling of what I have for you, you have for me? Is this just another one-sided feelings on my part?" I want to hear all the answers from you.
"Don't you like me? Am I not likeable? Is there some thing defective in me that I can't see, but the whole world sees? Am I not lovely in your eyes? For you are so wonderful in mine."
Tell me the truth.

Your total score is 7 and the average score is 9.59
Your Grade ** Left brain dominant **
If you score was over 12 then you are right brain dominant. You have a conceptual outlook and prefer to look at the bigger picture. You prefer doing things in random order and you do not like schedules and time limits. You are seen as creative, imaginative and artistic.
If your score was below 8 then you are left brain dominant. You prefer things to be in a logical order and like identifying details instead of concepts. You like to plan ahead and are not impulsive in your decision making. You are seen as logical, practical and realistic.
If your score was between 8-12 then you use the left and right sides of your brain in a balanced way.
Most tasks require that we use more of the left or right side of our brains. By carefully analyzing the task at hand we will be able to see our strengths and weaknesses and make better decisions. Here is a lists of characteristics associated with each side of the brain.
Left Brain Functions
linear reasoning approach
analytical
verbal/words
articulate
logical
responds to word meaning
reality
likes to make plans
controls right side of body
sequential processing
pays attention to details
prefers symbols
likes writing
math and logic
math: arithmetic, algebra
narrow minded, selective
Right Brain Functions
holistic reasoning approach
conceptual
nonverbal/illustrations
has difficulty explaining ideas verbally
intuitive
responds to emotions/tone of voice
creative and imaginative
impulsive and spontaneous
controls left side of body
random processing, looks for patterns
lacks organization
prefers concrete real objects
likes drawing
art
math: geometry
flexible, variable
Left and right brain strategies for learning
There are various study techniques and strategies that you can apply depending on your dominant side.
The right brain is considered holistic while the left brain analytical and linear. Left brained individuals prefer to learn with specific details while right brained individuals prefer to be presented with the big picture and then discover the details. Right brained individuals would benefit from reading an outline of the material that they are about to learn. It would be helpful for them to make a quick review before the lecture, for example by reading the introduction of the book and the chapters to be covered.
Right brained individuals are more intuitive while left brained individuals are more logical. Right brained individuals are more skilled at sensing when an answer is right even when they cannot prove why it is correct. They can make sense of information that is not immediately apparent and therefore are better at instinctively arriving at correct answers. Left brained individuals should trust their intuition more when they are not sure about an answer, for example in a multiple choice question they should go with their first choice.
The left side of the brain is better at memorizing words and formulas. Right brained individuals prefer concrete and real objects that they can touch and see. They are more visual and may benefit from visualization and mnemonic techniques that would help them remember words and numbers.
Left brained individuals like to complete tasks in a specific order while right brained individuals are more random and lack organization. Right brained individuals would benefit from keeping a schedule and focusing on time management. They should concentrate on pressing issues and delay tasks that can be completed later.

Right brained individuals would benefit from reading an outline of the material that they are about to learn. It would be helpful for them to make a quick review before the lecture, for example by reading the introduction of the book and the chapters to be covered.
Right brained individuals are more intuitive while left brained individuals are more logical. Right brained individuals are more skilled at sensing when an answer is right even when they cannot prove why it is correct. They can make sense of information that is not immediately apparent and therefore are better at instinctively arriving at correct answers. Left brained individuals should trust their intuition more when they are not sure about an answer, for example in a multiple choice question they should go with their first choice.
The left side of the brain is better at memorizing words and formulas. Right brained individuals prefer concrete and real objects that they can touch and see. They are more visual and may benefit from visualization and mnemonic techniques that would help them remember words and numbers.
Left brained individuals like to complete tasks in a specific order while right brained individuals are more random and lack organization. Right brained individuals would benefit from keeping a schedule and focusing on time management. They should concentrate on pressing issues and delay tasks that can be completed later.

Your total score is 12 and the average score is 9.98
Your Grade ** Introverted **
Scores above 10 indicate introversion. For example a score of 18 characterizes you as extremely introverted. On the other hand if you scored 3 then you are characterized as extremely extraverted.
Most people lie in the middle of the scale. In some circumstances they become more extraverted whilst in other circumstances less, usually though they tend to remain in the same situation for a long period of time with a small tendency towards extraversion.
Generally high scorers tend to be introverted, reserved and cautious. They prefer to be alone or with a few close friends. Low scorers tend to be extroverted, outgoing, active, and high spirited. They prefer to be around people most of the time.
Extraverts
They have a strong inclination towards people. They are usually happiest in situations where they are surrounded by others and are able to engage in social interaction. They will be socially confident, uninhibited and will generally enjoy initiating and developing personal relationships. In the other hand, because they may be impulsive, they may not always think through the consequences of their actions. This tendency to rush in can often be seen as irresponsible and overpowering or rude.
At work, extraverts definitely prefer to work in teams or groups and do not like working on their own. They will prefer to seek out the views of others and to collaborate on projects. Extreme extraverts can be viewed as outspoken often actively putting their views across rather than assertively. This has obvious advantages where persuasive skills are required, such as in sales, marketing and tough negotiations.
Introverts
They are generally quiet and reserved. They like to keep to themselves and are quite happy with their own thoughts and feelings. They do not actively need the company of others, will tend to feel uncomfortable in social situations and are unlikely to actively pursue social gatherings. They will not often feel driven to exchange views with others and often are happiest engaged in solitary activities that do not involve constantly having to interact with people.
In the workplace, introverts are often seen as shy, rather restrained and somewhat distant or aloof. Consequently, they are often overlooked. They are usually good at working on their own or in small groups without needing to rely on outside support and guidance. This is an important asset in many jobs. Where they have good knowledge and expertise, introverts can be just as assertive as extraverts.
This result is only a snapshot of your personality. It does not mean that you necessarily behave in the way described above, or more importantly that you only behave in one way. If, like most people, you occupy the middle ground between the two extremes, sometimes you will behave in one way, sometimes in another.

ISFJs respect established authority and they tend to accept others’ opinions and desires as their own. In work situations, they provide a stable and standardized service. Disorderly situations and constantly changing rules can cause them undue stress. At these times ISFJs need to be more assertive and direct because, owing to their kindheartedness and sensitivity, ISFJs can be taken for granted and even taken advantage of. This can cause them to feel resentment and anger — feelings that the ISFJ has a tendency to deny. If the situation worsens and uncomfortable feelings build up, the ISFJ will begin to feel insecure about their status. Worrying that they are not secure or protected enough, they may become overprotective and excessively nervous about foreboding events. This can cause others to feel resistant or defiant which then contributes to the disorder of the situation.
If stress continues, the ISFJ will experience increasing anxiety. Their fear that things will continue to spin out of control will result in a general feeling of dread and apprehensiveness. They become both wary of change and unrelentingly pessimistic about the future. ISFJs will eventually become immobilized by physical symptoms associated with their anxieties. Providing care for others will become secondary as their own bodily symptoms — resulting from their fears of abandonment — disable to such a degree that they cannot assume their responsibilities. Yet, abandoning service-orientated obligations prevents ISFJs from accessing opportunities that allow them to fulfill their basic needs.

Girl Found Dead Amid Suicides Probe
Another teenager has been found dead in an area blighted by teenage suicides.
The death of 16-year-old Jenna Parry is the 17th suspected suicide involving young people from the Bridgend area of South Wales in the last year.
Assistant Chief Constable Dave Morris told reporters at a press conference in the town that Jenna's body was found on the common at Cefn Cribbwr.
He said a review into teenage suicides in the county borough area was on-going but added: "We have found no suggestion of any suicide pact."
The youngsters all used social networking websites, such as Bebo and MySpace. But Mr Morris said: "We haven't found any suggestion of a link or influence through those sites."
He added: "What we have found is that these are vulnerable young people, and taking one's own life may be becoming an acceptable option to young people for issues that they are facing."
At the same press conference, the parents of 15-year-old Nathaniel Pritchard, who apparently committed suicide last week, blamed their son's death on media coverage of the suicides in the Bridgend area.
Nathaniel's mother, Sharon, said: "Media coverage put the idea into Nathaniel's head."
Sitting beside Nathaniel's father, Vincent, Mrs Pritchard said: "We have lost our son and media reporting of this has made it an incredibly difficult time and more unbearable by intensive media coverage."
Nathaniel died in hospital after "harming himself" last week. His cousin Kelly Stephenson, 20, was found hanged hours later while on holiday in Kent.

This is a cheeseburger. In a can. It's a cheeseburger in a can.
I honestly can't figure out how I feel about this: is it the greatest achievement of mankind thus far, or is it an abomination of foodstuffs that deserves to be hucked back into the gaping maw of whatever food processing plant it was spewed from? I just don't know what to think anymore. Would you eat a cheeseburger in a can? Keep in mind that it'll look nowhere near as delicious as the example above when you pull it out of the can.

James Blunt - Tears and Rain
How I wish I could surrender my soul;
Shed the clothes that become my skin;
See the liar that burns within my needing.
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold.
How I wish I had screamed out loud,
Instead I've found no meaning.
I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.
How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind;
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years.
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my soul.
I'm so cold from fear.
I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
Far, far away; find comfort in pain.
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.

P.S. I Love You
Holly Kennedy is a grieving young widow who discovers that her late husband, a passionate, funny and impetuous Irishman, has left her a list of tasks revealed in 10 messages, delivered anonymously, intended to ease her grief. With only words as her guide, she embarks on a journey of rediscovery, exploring again the meaning of friendship and marriage but most of all, how strong love can transform the finality of death into a new beginning for life.
Review (I love the way this reviewer phrased this sentence): "This movie made me realize how love seems so insignificant when you have it, and when its gone, you realize how important it is to you."

Celine's Advice for Young Stars
She was discovered when she was 12, so Celine Dion is in a great position to offer advice to young people considering entering the music industry.
"This is probably the most extraordinary career you can have. It's crazy in a good sense," she told TV Guide.
"Very demanding, but amazing. I would say that the most important thing is that it stays your passion and doesn't lead your life. Young kids, they hold onto one dream and if it doesn't happen, they collapse."
The Canadian 39-year-old, who gave up her teenage years for her music, continued: "You have to remain who you are. You have to have a life and a passion, because, if my career stops tomorrow, I still have everything."
Celine, who's about to embark on a world tour, revealed family always comes first.
"When you're an artist, you don't perform alone, and you don't succeed alone," she said.
"It's always as a team, and it starts in the family especially. My happiness, sadness, my worries, my concerns, my love, my dedication, my inspiration - it always comes from my real life. Show business is my passion, but my husband and son are my life, and this is where it starts and ends."

"Everything You Want" by Vertical Horizon
Somewhere there's speaking
It's already coming in
Oh and it's rising at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now you're here and you don't know why
But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won't return
He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why
You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away
There's always another wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say
He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why
But you'll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waiting for
Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away the
Anger of angels who won't return
He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why
I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why
And I don't know why
Why
I don't know
Somewhere there's speaking

“Contagious” by Avril Lavigne
When you're around I don't know what to do
I do not think that I can wait
To go over and to talk to you
I do not know what I should say
And I walk out in silence
That's when I start to realize
What you bring to my life
Damn this guy can make me cry
It's so contagious
I cannot get it out of my mind
It's so outrageous
You make me feel so high
All the time
They all say that you're no good for me
But I'm too close to turn around
I'll show them they don't know anything

| What Your Pizza Reveals |
 There are no limits to your eating. You often devour the scraps your friends can't finish. You consider pizza to be bread... very good bread. You fit in best in the Midwest part of the US. You like food that's traditional and well crafted. You aren't impressed with "gourmet" foods. You are dependable, loyal, and conservative with your choices. You are definitely unique and artistically inclined. You should consider traveling to Prague. The stereotype that best fits you is upper class preppy. You don't anything too ordinary or vulgar. |

Yawn.
The sands of sleep are making my eyelids heavier and heavier by the hour. I manage to fall asleep pretty fast last night. But, I felt like crap when I woke up this morning. Felt crappy, sluggish and just plain tired. I wonder why? Lately, I have been feeling rather tired when I wake up. I doubt that is because of the lack of quantity sleep. I think I read somewhere that the cause of that sluggish feeling could be because the said person is lacking in certain nutrients and vitamins.
Maybe that is the case for me.
I should get back to the increasing pile of documents. They are waiting in line to be filed. Gosh. I hate them! Rarrrrrr. Just when I have the mood to file them up, a boxful more of the same kind comes in, killing all the motivation.
I know this is totally random, but I forgot to wear my earrings this morning. I had meant to wear them after I put on my ear sticks. But somehow, I had forgotten. Sigh.
I have four holes in my ears. Three on the right and one on my left ear. I've been thinking about whether I should let two of them heal and close off. Having so many ear piercings are not so cool any more. Plus I am no longer a teenage girl.
Gosh. Which reminds me..........
I am turning 24, end of next week.
*Torrents of tears streaming down my face. *
I feel OLD.
My gosh!! Is that a WRINKLE I see??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All right, all right.
I know that I am exaggerating.
*Huffs*
But, surely you DO get what I mean, right?
The trauma of knowing and watching oneself growing OLDER and OLDER year by year.
I am starting to have hysterics.
Some one! Any one! Call the ambulance!
I can feel the dead silence. It seems like everyone has left me to my crazed antics.
Seriously, maybe it is me; but I have the sensation of sliding down, slowly but surely, when I hit 18. That is a little extreme, but it hit me then, that I'd soon approach 20 and then 21 and so on. I would be an adult. The days of childhood ignorance had to be put behind. No rather, they had left me behind. No longer can I claim childlike naivety as my own. No longer can I hide behind the shield of being a child. It is time to stand tall and step out of my younger shadow.
When I was young, I thought that I would never grow up, for everything seemed to be progressing so slowly. At a snail's pace. 21 years old seemed so far away. So glorious and so out of my reach. Now that I have reached the mark of adulthood, I realized that being s 21 yr old is not so out of reach after all. That it isn't that far away as I had once thought. I realized that adulthood and independence, they are not so glamorous or wonderful after all. Being all grown up now, makes me realized a lot of things, though I do realize that I am far from being mature. It is just that, all those childhood dreams and ambitions, those childish beliefs were all crushed and grounded into smithereens by the growing awareness of the real world's inner workings.
From the Bible, I realized the truth. I found out about God's everlasting love for me; before I was even formed, despite and in spite of my disobedience and all those wrongs. His love never ceased, faltered nor decreased. When I was acting like a bitch and hurting people left and right, hurting even God; He never cursed and swore at me, never gave me up like some others. His love for me is truly unconditional. And undeserved. Yet I am totally glad and thankful for Him. For without Him, I will be truly alone.
Despite all of the above, yet at the same time, the truth of the Bible made some of my childhood fantasies fall apart. There are no elves, no pretty fairies, no cute pixies and no magic. There is no magic. Nothing magical will happen to me. I do not have such a hope. A hope that some day, some thing magical will happen in my life, to me. Whisking me away to an enchanted forest with friendly wee folk, magical creatures and glorious adventures. Saving me from my misery.
There is no such hope.
I know that I am too old to be still thinking about such things but I had once truly believed that such magical creatures exist.

PPS: I Still Love You
This is a good story. The very first chapter, I mean, 'cause the second chapter is unrelated to the first. It leaves one pondering and reminds all not to leave love unspoken. For you would never know what kind of life you could have had, if only you'd told that loved one; how much you love & cherish him or her, before that person is being taken away abruptly. That kind of lifelong regret is utterly crushing and completely destroying.

It's the back-to-work-day, today.
Well, it was fun while it lasted. This year's Chinese New Year was nothing spectacular. In fact, for the third year in a row, our family skipped out on visiting our relatives. Sigh. I really miss my Aunt's (on my father's side) cooking. I think the cooks are all on my dad's side. Not that my mom can't cook. But there is cooking and cooking. You know?
Anyway, I woke up this morning, feeling better than I thought I would be. I blame my bad sleep. Or rather the lack of it. Gosh. I sincerely hope that I am not becoming insomniac. But, I shouldn't be, right? After all, it is just one night.
Let me relate to you the horror story.
After tearing myself away from my laptop, I went to bed at around 0050. While I was trying to sleep, my thoughts started wandering and I was brought down memory lane. Berating myself over past faults, lousy decisions, cowardly behaviour and lost tempers. While I tossed and turned in bed, trying to shake off wakefullness and to find a comfortable position to settle into; I continued to agonize, regret and brood. The above went on for quite some time. I am not sure what time did I finally manage to knock myself out, but my body is telling me that it wasn't early. I am thinking, it should be around 2 to 3am.
Goodness gracious.
Not able to sleep is one thing. Not able to sleep when one has to get up early the next day; instead spending the sleepless hours thinking and brooding over the past wrongs and regrets while pondering over what seems to be a dark and bleak future, is not the way to go.
I am contemplating whther I should fall straight into bed after I zip back home. I really do need the sleep. Never mind the quality. I need the quantity now. I will worry about the quality when I have filled the quota on the quantity.
I hope some work comes in soon. Falling splat onto the table and snoring sounds preety attractive right now.
Eh. I am in some sort of dilemma right now. This man, I know from work, but from another company; asked when will I be free, so that he can bring me out for Chinese New Year lunch. I don't really want to go alone. I don't want to go. Period.
He is giving me werd vibes. I do not know if I am overly sensitive, but......
ARGHHHHHHHHHHH.
How do I say 'No'? I know how to say, "No." But, never said that to people like him. I hope I am thinking too much. Please tell me that I am. 'Cuz a few months back, he did ask me out too. When I expressed an interest in his company's funding of employees' studies, he said we can meet up over dinner to talk about it. We could have talked about it over the phone or through email, correct? But then, it is easier to talk about it when meeting face-to-face, is it? Besides that, when we were corresponding through emails, he was telling me how attractive I am and stuff like that. That kind of pushed the 'Weird-O-Meter' up.
Maybe, it is just me? That I am not used to compliments? Which is why I am all weirded out?
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
I don't know.
What should I do?

Mandy Moore - Cry
I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
It lasted forever
And ended to soon
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark gray sky
And I was changed
In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside
It was then that I realized That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry
It was late in September
And I'd seen you before
You were always the cold one
But I was never that sure
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark gray sky
I was changed
In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside
It was then that I realized That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry
I wanted to hold you
I wanted to make it go away
I wanted to know you
I wanted to make your everything, all right
I'll always remember...

Mariah Carey - Never Too Far
You're with me
Til the bitter end
What we had transcends
This experience
Too painful to
Talk about
So I'll hold it in
Til my heart can mend
And be brave enough to love again
A place in time
Still belongs to us
Stays preserved in my mind
In the memories there is solace
Never too far away
I won't let time erase
One bit of yesterday
Cause I have learned that
Nobody can take your place
Though we can never be
I'll keep you close to me
When I remember
Glittering lights
Incandescent eyes
Still preserved
In my mind
In the memories I'll find solace
Never too far away
I won't let time erase
One bit of yesterday
And I have learned that
Nobody can take your place
Though we can never be
I'll keep you close to me
And I'll remember
A place in time
Still belongs to us
Stays preserved in my mind
In the memories there is solace
Never too far away
I won't let time erase
One bit of yesterday
Cause I have learned that
Nobody can take your place
And though we can never be
I'll always think of you and me
Always remember
Love
You're never too far
Til the bitter end
What we had transcends
This experience
Too painful to
Talk about
So I'll hold it in
Til my heart can mend
And be brave enough to love again
A place in time
Still belongs to us
Stays preserved in my mind
In the memories there is solace
Never too far away
I won't let time erase
One bit of yesterday
Cause I have learned that

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
Joshua 1:9
A psalm of David.
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
Matthew 11:28-30
"Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know"
Jeremiah 33:3
