Each morning I get up I die a little
Dear Jamie,

Be strong. It will all be over, soon. Let's look forward to something new after that!

Love,
Jamie

maybe i should have listened to the naysayers

I have less than 2 months.

I have less than 4 hours for study time on weekdays.

I have less than 7 weekends left.

I'd probably need a miracle.

Somebody please remind me why I'm putting myself through this?

Just when you thought you couldn't stand work anymore...

You hear that BSB is slated to perform in KL instead of Manila. Yeppers.

Initially, Manila was pretty tempting. Which wasn't a very feasible idea because Jamie is quite broke. So she gave up plans and sunk back to the horrible reality of everyday work. Then came KL: which was super duper (to the power of infinity) tempting!!!!! So there you go, my mind (heart and soul) is set on KL and I'm going for my second BSB concert!!!

PS: Work isn't that bad.... but on a daily basis it's just.... detrimental. 
Thank God for the things that make my day year every now and then... just like how this KL concert came along.

Thank you for saving my pathetic soul.

My true thinspiration? Hayden.
Not Christensen, of course.

It's Panettiere.

Best Friends
Friends do come and go, huh?

In primary school, we became friends because we were stuck in the same class. We did stupid things like prank-calling the Tinkle Friends hotline. We called ourselves "The Bonkers". We wrote long and sometimes meaningless letters to each other even though we spoke on the phone everyday. We loved to sing the opening theme of "Pinky and the Brain". We'd take tons of neoprints and examine our facial expressions later. We once giggled non-stop for half an hour because I was mimicking AJ's hand pose in a poster from Teenage magazine. We both liked Fann Wong. I think she still does. See. See what I mean?

In secondary school, we became friends because we had each other for recess! We'd visit the nearby bakery or the bubbletea shop after school  for our daily fix. We clicked because a certain someone always talked behind our backs. We looked out for one another because we had a mutual "enemy". We loved writing letters, using cutesy letterpads and envelopes. We'd talk about boys and random stuff in our letters. She'd bribe invite me to church by saying "We'll go shopping after the sunday service!". We spoke on the phone everyday, most of the time about crushes and irritating little sisters. I used to think we could really be BFFs (Best Friends Forevaaaa) but I was wrong.

People change.

Anyho, I am truly blessed to have a couple of BFFs now, even after graduating from polytechnic. Not many; but hey, life is not a popularity contest. I'd rather have a few close friends than have many friends.

We love WIKI!
If you need definitions of certain terminologies (like the big bang or grey matter), Wikipedia is your best friend. 


Guess what, there's Heroeswiki!!! I am officially a Heroes fan. Damnit. I missed Heroes sighting in town last September.


Yeah, yeah I know that everyone has caught the "Heroes" fever like months back. I am kinda slow in this when it comes to teevee because my family doesn't subscribe to cable TV! Boohoo. It's no secret that episodes of these television drama series are easily available for download from the Internet. Frankly speaking, I'm not exactly fond of watching from the laptop. So... 


When it comes to the latest, happening and much-talked-about television drama series, Channel 5 is my best only friend. 


In other updates... I got tagged by [info]jaannonymous  last month! OOPS.
I'm still gonna do it 'cause I feel terribly-sad happy !


The rules are easy, just post 6-12 things that recently made you happy! Then tag 6 people and force them to post this meme on their LJs. Because it is good. Everyone needs a little happiness once in awhile. 


In random order because my brain's too lazy to rank them:
(1) My trip to KL with my bff and her bf! Mmmm. All I had was good food!!! Mmmm. I like.
(2) The release of Unbreakable!
(3) A one year membership with Amore Fitness!
(4) Being able to curb my voracious appetite since Sunday! [info]boysareliers  - Thanks babe, skinnylove!
(5) Daily evening jogs.
(6) Supernatural on DVD!!! :D I've been wanting to get the DVD set for the longest period of time!
(7) Channel 5 just started airing Season 2 of Supernatural! Slow, I know. -___- But hey yay, Fridays are going to be head-home-after-work days for me! 
(8) The more I stay at home, the less money I spend outside = awesome.
(9) More responsibilities at work. I'm enjoying the amount of workload. It's just fine. Pretty managable. 



Now I shall tag [info]kaostic  , [info]novocainebandit  , [info]iruka11  , [info]boysareliers  !

I don't know what to make of this.
http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest+News/Singapore/STIStory_180546.html

The news of their death saddened me. I don't know them personally but it kinda struck me.

They were five very promising and talented young men and *poof* their lives were taken away just like that. What a waste. I hope their family and friends find peace in their memories of their son/friend.

...
I haven't found out what I'm good at. I don't know what my true calling in life is.

Freakiest nightmare ever.
A brain surgeon was operating on my left brain.
I was awake, and it was a very, very painful process.
I could feel the wet blood dripping at the back of my head.

Brain
To dream of your brain, suggests that you are under severe intellectual stress.


Operation
To dream that you are in operation, suggests that you need to get something out of your system. Perhaps you need to let go of something or change your habits. You need to cut something out of your life.

Pain
To dream that you are in pain, signifies that you are being too hard on yourself with regards to a situation that was out of your control.

Blood
To dream that you are bleeding or losing blood, signifies that you are suffering from exhaustion or that you are feeling emotionally drained. It may also denote bitter confrontations between you and your friends. Your past actions has come back to haunt you.

It makes sense when you put the pieces together. This is seriously giving me the creeps.

Lost at 20.
What is God’s plan for me? What is His plan for you?
 
I cannot move on. I cannot quit lamenting because I see no future/real purpose in my life.
 
I cannot move on with the fact that I scored mediocre results for ‘O’ levels.
Regret #1: Didn’t study hard enough. Why didn’t I!
Regret #2: Dropped A Maths. Why did I even listen to Mrs John?
Regret #3: Vomiting during History paper. Why did it have to be me?
 
Too many regrets and too late. When I received my result slip from Miss Ng, I pretended that I was satisfied with my mediocre results. Out of 6 subject passes, only 2 were above average passes. I really wanted to cry. I knew I was going to say “adios” to business and mass communications courses. Thankfully I scraped through polytechnic, somehow.
 
Still, the future is rather bleak.
 
I cannot move on with the fact that I couldn’t get a place in any of the local universities this year.
I cannot move on with the fact that my grades (are once again) not good enough to get what I want.
Do you know what the difference is? This time round I knew I did my best, maybe not my 100% -‘cause I was this close to entering the school’s Roll of Honours.
 
What do I want?
To be able to study in a local university. Start afresh, do bridging courses- I don’t care. Do Arts (and major in Communications and New Media or something), not Computing. I could do Computing at NUS, but I wouldn’t want to. I’d die. Honestly, I’d love to study in Australia but it’s gonna set me back by 150k. I don’t know if I’d ever get that lump sum of money any time soon. My parents couldn’t care less and that makes me really sad. ): C’mon, does it hurt to read up about education loans or at least sit me down and talk to me about why we can’t borrow money to study overseas?
 
I want to study Mass Communications but SIM-RMIT only offers it part time. Hell no, I’d rather do full time in Australia.
MDIS? I heard they really suck at time-tables and such. Moreover, what, MDIS-OCU? Nobody knows OCU like they know UWA or UNSW. Anyway, most American degrees are too general and expensive.
 
I don’t want to be stuck with this pathetic looking diploma. Sadly, in Singapore if you don’t have at least a degree- you’re probably gonna get shit from people.
 
Oh crap, I really hate thinking about the future. I feel heavy-hearted and sick of myself everytime I think about it. ):
Recently, Edmund mentioned that I’m not the same quiet, reserved and blur Jamie he used to know back then in secondary school. Of course, I always look hyper and happy to everyone now.

In fact, it’s easy to look and make oneself happy. Talk about short-lived happiness.  
 
Oh sure, when Leehom came to town, I was happy.
When I met the Backstreet Boys, I was happy.
When I got my new cell phone, I was happy.
 
But how happy is happy? I am not exactly HAPPY happy.
 
I need to get out and do purposeful activities; not just shopping, singing, clubbing, internet surfing, or random squeeing to make myself feel content. I miss my volunteering days with RP Rotaract Club. Gone were the days when volunteering opportunities were abundant with the help from the club. Anyway, I found YouthBank from an ad in MSN messenger. You can volunteer anytime you like as long as you have time.
 
I am not going to attempt to save the world, because I can’t. I just can't.
 
This is a sick sad world we live in. Humans are fed up with each other, killing each other; icebergs are melting, Tsunamis occurring, islands sinking… Everyone says we need to “Save our Earth”.
 
Yes, we all know that “Saving our Earth” is our responsibility.
But how, I mean really- how to SAVE her? We can prevent, cut down on wastage, but ultimately you and I know that Earth is going to die soon. 
 

I know it doesn’t make sense to whine and complain about the future and then talk about the end of our world…
… My mind’s in quite a mess now.
 
Note to flist: I am sorry for flooding your page.

Test your happiness
Psychologists say it is possible to measure your happiness. 

I took this test, and I got:
Slightly below average in life satisfaction

Oh yeah, NUS offered me the job. *am shocked*

Anyways, I'm granting myself a one month holiday in September! YAY.
I really need a break away from this activity called 'work'.

PS: Looking at www.backstreetboys.com makes me feel sad. ):
