Friday

I was extremely upset because I lost my ezlink card (again) on my way out. On it was the sticker E got for me when he was away. He specially picked that one for me because it was a combi of dang and Wolvie :( I had no choice but to get a new card although I still miss the old one a lot. I even went back to the places I walked past but didn't manage to recover it. It was nice to be seeing the ladies again even though it wasn't full strength today. I had enjoyed sharing about my life for the past couple of months. It was great pity chew chew wasn't present. I rushed to LL laoshi's house before the rest left. Laoshi's girl is very welcoming of me now and I kinda like it. I really don't like kids but his girl is cute. I recalled the night at Angie's hotel and I reminded myself I must start walking out of my own world. These days I discovered D is attached and I am honestly, very, very happy for him. He seems really happy and that's really nice to hear. And t...

重新再来

这应该是我做的最疯狂的事? 最感激的当然是芝维陪我一起疯。 还有Angie的积极配合。 真的又看到了很多。 我告诉自己,一定要重新再来。 沉沦太久,忽略了太多,结果违背了对自己的诺言。 这次就当作反省。 不可以再让自己有太多理由活在自己的世界里了。 之前耿耿于怀的什么都不再重要。 我一定要振作!!! 加油!!!!

realisations

The happiest thing that happened yesterday was probably seeing Angie. It was great time spent albeit short. We had a great chat on the hotel room bed. It made me realise how bad a friend I have been. To think I always resolve to be a better friend but now it looks like I've only got worse. I have given myself countless excuses to wallow in self-pity. I guess it's really time to wake up my ideas now that I have got a clearer picture of what's going on around me. WAKE UP GL. WAKE UP.

机场

最后一次为着这个原因坐在这里应该是前年的十二月。 我一直告诉自己要冷静。 这次, 好像也没什么好冷静的了。 事实证明, 一切都是个骗局。 只是, 像我那么相信奇迹的人一直没有发现。 老实说, 近来我有种被世界遗弃的感觉。 所以今天这个决定应该是正确的。 我真的好累。 我干嘛要这么信任。 这是玩火自焚吗? 就算是, 我也以为会轰轰烈烈。 谁知道, 有的人居然隔岸观火。 我真是彻底的白痴。 我要飞了。 回来后, 我会完完全全地忘记, 然后因舍弃而重获。

快乐的事

今天主要都是快乐的事。至少不快乐的我都已经遗忘了。 早上硬把自己拉下床, 跟子睿他们去吃了鱼片汤。虽然很早起, 但东西算是好吃, 而且跟他们吃早餐也是很快乐的事。 晚上又跟他们吃晚餐, 叫了不少好料。肥~ 但真的有开心到。 我慢慢回到自己应该在的岗位上。 打开收音机。听到阿妹的歌, 而且是我很喜欢的 《如果你也听说》, 很安慰。 最近除了每天在mp3听阿妹的1小时17分钟的组曲, 晚上也都会在收音机听到她的歌。 这些疗伤系的歌真的都在起作用。我就差没去kbox自己唱。 今天, 好像一直听到自己的笑声。我想这应该是快乐的事。

天使的指纹

靜悄悄 亂紛紛 都輸給了時間 卻沒有辜負青春 他誠懇 才不讓你等 你失落了黃昏 卻換來平靜夜深 眾裡尋人 錯愛只是為真愛作證 所謂魔鬼留下的傷痕 都是天使的指紋 燈火闌珊 何必急於看到那個人 能睡得安穩都只因為 那盞還沒開的燈 亮晶晶 黑沉沉 開了窗 關上門 誰給了你寂寞 寂寞還給你新生 誰的吻 都值得感恩 淚淋熄了慾望 笑卻雕琢了皺紋 最初總堅持自以為是的緣分 最後才順其自然看花開無聲 離開你那個人 同時釋放了你 你為何不轉身 眾裡尋人 錯愛只是為真愛作證 每次告別留下的傷痕 都是天使的指紋 燈火闌珊 你急著要看到那個人 他也在尋找你的身影 你也讓別人在等 果然是林夕。

Therapy

The high frequency of entries does not mean I am very free. There is always this compelling need to calm down whenever I type so it makes me feel better. Thus I figure blogging is probably one of the best ways to heal (don't ask me heal from what) because it works like hops during a period like this. I slept at 4 a.m. this morning after a game of mahjong with the primary school friends and woke up at 9 a.m. to prepare breakfast for my sis before I left house for classes. I was actually very sleepy and in fact giddy after the end of my last class. However it would be a waste to spend the day on catching forty winks hence I thought going for a walk was best. I took an extremely long bus ride to Vivo where I started going gaga over the sales everywhere. It dawned upon me how retail therapy used to always work for me. I easily picked four pieces of clothes without much hesitation. Ah I love that. It can be nice to shop alone sometimes because no one gives you opinions so you got to dec...

这个世界容不下完美

有些事情已经慢慢成了习惯。 像每个星期天找个地方走走。像找个地方喝喝咖啡, 看着进进出出的人。像听听别人的对话, 想想这个世界的人正在面对的问题。 人无远虑, 必有近忧。 这个世界根本容不下完美。 对比之下, 大家的问题像是被放大了。 我的, 那么微不足道。 最可笑的是, 我连根本问题是什么都还没弄清楚。 这种时候, 最好就是投入任何可以让自己遗忘的事情当中。 我很感激现在这种宁静。 周围再吵, 心只要冷静, 整个人就会觉得轻松。 可悲。 把自己关在房间里, 本应四周无声, 心激动跳动的声音却一清二楚。 原来人有时候需要喧闹来得到平静。 我也不知道这样的情绪还会维持多久。我真的在很努力地让自己复原。真的很积极。 我不想给自己任何理由沉沦。 加油啊, GL.

Confused Saturday

I woke up with yet another tummyache. And then the usual runs which have been ongoing since the second day of my dengue. At the rate I am going, it's easy to maintain the weight (which I am glad about actually...). Let's see. It's a Saturday of mixed emotions. I finally resumed lessons with a student whom I have not seen for two weeks. It felt like two years. I walked a long way out to take a bus to get to his house. On my way I was looping Ah Mei's songs and I very much wanted to cry at 勇敢 but the tears wouldn't come. My student and I had a great chat. He's always one of my favourite students. (Okay I know a teacher should be unbiased but c'mon I am only human) A very sweet and interesting kid. I decided it was still early after class so I went to get a cake for my sis and a curry puff for my mum. I miss hanging out on my own on a Saturday evening. It is my brother's birthday and we went to somewhere new for dinner. It has always been the four of us on ...

...比快乐更真实

因为这个世界本来就是说大不大,说小不小。因为现在的媒介本来就是无孔不入。所以要想保持清醒,保持理智,就要选择性的去面对。除非自己的心可以强大到看到什么都不会有任何反应。我想我一直都是那个会退出的人。只要感到不安,感到压抑,我就会完完全全地撤退。这次也一样。我只想让自己冷静一下。我从来就不是一个很能负荷重量的人。

Race

If life is a race, for the past three days I have been stopping and thinking of all kinds of ways to give up. And I have been wanting to regurgitate, wanting to tell the whole world this race is so pointless to me I just want to sit down in the middle of the tracks and whine and wallow in self-pity. If life is a race, for the past three days I have had great people pushing me on through the race. ZR and WW gave me calls, YX and Mic listened to me bitch. Even though I shared almost nothing, even though I just pretended my heart didn't hurt and laughed like I was the happiest person, these people really knew me inside out. I thought about it. It's just amazing. Within two point five years, I kinda had the same encounter twice. And the four people were still revolving around me. Of course, things are different this time. The hurt level was pretty much the same, or should I say worse. But. Yes BUT. My reaction was a lot calmer this time. I recalled the last time things happened. I ...

想不开就不想...

心情好像平复了许多。 每次看到那群人,就感觉所有的正面能量都回来了。 我不知道别人怎么看他们。但对我而言,他们是再正常不过的人。 每一次见面都会让我觉得这个世上还有很多很正面的事情,让我觉得这个世界不至于太沦陷。 不是那里的人,但去吃一顿早餐居然就收到很多礼物和纸条。超感动的。 要离开的时候,收到盈利的电话。 电话那头问:“还在吗?” 我说:“还在啊。” 她说:“我现在马上过来,等我!” 就这样,我感动了好久。 还有Mic从包里拿出一大盒Kinderbueno,我都要晕了。 还有岚花写了长长的字条给我,真的真的好想念。 还有“马来妇女”曦的附带笑脸贴纸的Milo。 离开的时候碰到亦容。她说买了维他命给我,但是在店里付了钱却忘记把维他命带回家。 心意都收到了。心很暖和。 还有司衍兴!!!我们花了差不多2个半小时在说些有的没的。 但那很重要。因为我的心真的痛得快死掉了,所以我很需要找人诉说我心有多痛。 谢谢!!所以请你千万不要比我早死,不然我真的会跟着去撞墙。 走回家的路上,我发现自己口中仍然念念有词。 “这个世界为什么这么恐怖?” 我心里真是那么想的。 甚至下午有很长一段时间,我都不停地问自己这个问题。 我决定了。 两天都好,我一定要离开这里。我需要冷静。 总而言之,今天得到的感动和笑声远远胜过昨天。 所以,我觉得自己又赚了一天。 "想不开就不想,得不到就不要。”

失忆

大病一场之后,突然间,有些东西找不回了。 吃午餐的时候,朋友提起一些事,我很自然地在脑子里寻找这一期间的回忆。 愕然。 竟然是一片空白。 难道我的生日愿望要实现了? 有些事,还以为有多刻骨铭心,我竟然记不起来。 而且前前后后不到四个月。 近来后脑勺的某一处又开始隐隐作痛。我不知道这两者之间是不是有什么关系。我想最好是有。 虽然在那短短的五分钟里,我有点不知所措。 但这个阶段之后,我居然暗地里感到开心,感到庆幸。 我其实比较希望这段时间的所有记忆都被清除掉。 包括今天的。 我最近总是觉得,老天喜欢磨练我的心。 他不断拿些事来打击我。 我也不断让自己再站起来。 接着我便渐渐发现,心之所以会受损,是因为它太放不下。 老实说,我真的好想呐喊,就这么最后一次。 然后跨步,舍弃这所有该死的回忆。 心啊,你这次最好是死了。 我决定了,这个星期我要用工作麻醉自己。 彻底麻醉。

upon recovery

I kinda understood the doctor's good intentions of asking me to rest for a couple of days before going back to work. It seems that it is indeed imperative to adhere to his advice. I'm feeling his words now, absolutely. I still woke up feeling nauseated. I thought it was probably because of the smell of mosquito coil which I never got used to. The runs were ongoing. I stood on the scale. Amazing discovery. My all-time low weight had remained since yesterday. Given my height I'm still heavy but I was never even close to this ideal since nineteen. Hence, I actually secretly derived a slight gratification from this long-time-no-see figures. I don't think they will last. The last time my appetite was this normal was a week ago. I had brunch with WW. It was the wanton noodles I boycott at J2 after one of the workers was extremely impolite to my mum. But anyway their standard has dropped, even though their portion was possibly more justifiable than that of pontian. I was easil...

心里的位置

不是每个人都可以这么潇洒。偶尔还是会希望自己是别人心里最在乎的那一个。我觉得这种想法一点都没错。之所以这么希望, 是因为这么在乎。当然, 嘴上这么嚷嚷, 自己却不争取, 这样的人不值得同情。所以如果真的很想得到些什么, 就要竭尽去争取。争取不到, 至少知道自己努力过。我在一些人心里的地位, 我清楚是自己经过长年累月建立的。别人在我心里的位置自然也是如此。这次的事, 让我把自己的位置看得比较清楚。当然, 我也更明白别人在我心里的地位。是真的, 有些人会在你困难的时候雪中送炭。但同时, 这个世界上从来就不乏落井下石的人。虽然觉得很可悲, 可是也是无法避免的事。现实就是这么残酷。即便如此, 我想我还是没有变成我最不想成为的那种非常极端的人。我没有忘记自己今年年头就一直很积极去进行的事 -- 做一个快乐的人。我快乐不是因为什么特别开心的事, 只因为自己一直让幸福的事包围着。包括像现在这样坐在咖啡座里回想过去一个星期大家的关爱, 那都是很叫人窝心的。那些因为担心我而死了一些脑细胞的人, 放心, 我重新站起来了。那些想看我倒下的人, 真的抱歉, 害你们失望了~ (这是青峰的精神!!!)

第7天

2月16日。炎, 晴, 雨。 前几天吃也吃不好, 睡也睡不好, 真的很难受。再加上要每隔两天抽一次血, 有眼泪都哭不出。今天虽然还是想吐, 但总算胃口算是好了许多。躺了有一个星期, 也看清楚一些事。昨天得知一直以为很关心自己的一个人知道了我的情况却一声也不吭, 我竟然没有很失望。除非, 还有比失望更绝望的情绪。那一刻我发现自己是彻彻底底地死心了。原来, 要一个人死心也不是很难的事。更何况, 一开始我的期望就不是很高。所以昨晚, 也不是很难入睡。所有作息依旧, 生活也没有少了些什么。虽然最后因为大腿的肌肉酸痛而睡得不是很好, 但今早起床很开心收到林立老师慰问的简讯。不是一般抓狂的兴奋心情, 而是很满足的那种冷静的喜悦。真的很幸福了。过去几天又有朋友来探望,又有朋友送我去看医生, 又有人天天问候我的情况, 今天竟然还得到老师的慰问。我活到这样也算是值了。休息了一个星期, 什么也没做, 我觉得最对不起的是我的学生。一个星期的养病就连累我的七个学生不能上课, 我真的非常内疚。希望未来的几周里, 我能够好好补偿。今天傍晚的时候, 下了五分钟的倾盆大雨。我往外看了五分钟。发现好久没有好好享受过傍晚的凉风了。这几天除了诊所和诊所附近的小贩中心, 我真的好久没有好好呼吸过外头的空气了。难怪这么窒息, 那么不舒服。好了以后, 除了要吃那些我已经想了很久的美食, 我还要好好在外头走一走, 然后再继续记得写写明信片给想念的人。近来惦记我的人不少, 我要好好记着这些人。

:(

又要抽血了。 左手没地方插针了。换右手。 两只脚的肌肉很酸痛, 越来越走不动了。 我坐在小贩中心里, 眼泪都快流下来了。 好辛苦。 但又怕妈妈看了会操心, 所以告诉自己不可以哭。 又睡了一天。 很多朋友不断慰问, 感激。 Angie和YY买了三碗粥过来看我, 陪我当病人。 幸好有他们, 不然我真的快闷死了。 身体一直在脱水, 我就拼命灌水。 好饱啊。。。

患难见真情

2月11日。炎?阴? 也不是太清楚今天的天气到底是怎样的。一整天看到的一切都很暗,感觉是阴天,但温度却像大热天。早上5点因为头痛得快爆了,所以一起来就无法再睡了。接着8点多好不容易入睡,可是不到一个小时又被吵醒了。Zzzz 昨晚流鼻血,其实有点害怕了。但想说可能是巧合,毕竟最后一个症状还没出现。 结果。 漱口的时候,发现牙龈也流血了。 十之八九。。。 早上有一整个小时的时间,我怀疑自己到底是不是患上产前忧郁症。好忧郁哦。 吃了一片面包,吃了药,接着又睡。基本上一整天都在睡觉。 我真的。觉得自己在荒废人生。 但是又没有力气去做任何有建设性的事情(这是借口吗?) 下午好几个小时的时间就一直在睡觉。 曦偷跑来我家放了一大袋东西然后就跑人了。 我是很感动的。这两天家里没人,吃的也没有,昨天还是空腹吃药的。 今天她的爱心便当让我饱餐一顿,好温暖。 得知朋友们的谈话中也提到我,然后各个发简讯来慰问,很感激。 病到不清不楚的时候,就只是想要得到一些些关心。 话说,我一定是胃口最好的病人,长期处于一个饥饿的状态。 头快爆了。我又要去躺了。

默默之中在那里

2月9日。半炎半雨。 给姚老师上香了。那是他过世后我一直很想做的事。 师母换了发型, 看起来很精神。 相信老师在天上知道师母正在积极地面对生活也会很安慰。 近来的天气很善变。一下烈日当空, 一下倾盆大雨。我因为之前连续的炎热天气而变得嚣张, 开始不带雨伞出面。于是, 就被困在巴士。但那也是一种享受。很久没有欣赏雨景了。很多事情在我脑里闪过。看着对面的巴士站, 我的想念竟然在等待救援。 2月10日。炎。 症状都出现了。但我还蛮乐观的。总觉得不可能会是我。 下午倒下的时候, 眼前的画面是一个无底深渊。我不停地往下跌, 手没有力去抓住任何东西。很暗,很无助。说真的, 我还蛮害怕的。张开眼睛后, 我感觉自己还在惊吓中。 其实我真的开始越来越怕。我想我只是不懂得如何去表达。因为我是体弱, 但我不是懦弱。 只能希望事情会好转吧!

blackout

It's the second time within a span of three months. This time was bad. I felt I was dreaming. The next moment when I opened my eyes, I was lying on the floor, the doctor and nurses surrounding me. It was pretty much the kind of perspective of a person who collapsed in a drama. I don't even remember or know how it happened. It just happened. Honestly, I was quite traumatised. It all took place too quickly. Before that, I was actually feeling a little upset that the first portion of blood the doctor took from me was going to be discarded because it was insufficient. I was like, WHAT! That's my blood! Then the doctor took a second time. It was not too painful. I was actually quite nervous prior to that because I saw the painful look on my brother's face and it made me think the jab was going to be excruciating. My poor right hand. It is now swollen and painful from the jab. Sigh, times like this I always feel useless.

Chapter Forty.

So technically speaking I'm at chapter forty of my new story. Most of the previous chapters were made up of good than bad ones. Today? I don't know how to judge. I spent the morning hiking with two friends. Before the ascent I was telling bff I had a feeling we would see a familiar face. We did. Really, sometimes I'm kinda scared that my powers always work. I was really tired prior to the climb but I couldn't get over the mcspicy burger I had the day before so I had to shed some calories. It was a good hike actually. The air was fresh and it was a good time to rest the mind. CNY visiting at Max's has been a tradition since 2008. Spending time with them is habit. Of course I enjoyed. Frankly, the whole day my mind was only on one thing: how to solve my current crisis? I haven't figured a way. I don't know what to say. I'm tired of explaining that I don't know what went wrong... d Sunday will be better. I'm sure.

Bomb

Just when I was all so optimistic about my life, a bomb had to drop. Worse, it does not seem to be going off any time soon. It is just here to intimidate me, isn't it? So... it's confirmed. I have a black mark. And it's hard not to feel anything now because it's probably going to cast a shadow over my life, my future, anything you can think of. (Am I exaggerating?) I don't know what to feel. I'm not even angry. If anything, I am just lost. And a little upset that there is someone out there who is so scary, to sabotage me. Then the next problem is, who to turn to? I really can't think of anyone who can lead me out of this. On a brighter note, I actually figured a way out. That if this issue cannot be resolved eventually, I will just try something else. Is that why the phrase, 留得青山在,不怕没柴烧?(When there's life, there's hope.) I am honestly not feeling bitter about it. I just don't know what I can do about it. Because when people come to know about thi...

Constellations.

There is almost no recollection of what exactly happened the whole day for my thoughts were mainly revolving around "Some infinities are bigger than other infinities". I will save the usual narration of the day. It was great. Be it me-time which was spent in the library doing research or hanging out with the guys to celebrate best friend's birthday. I'm contented. I just kinda realised I don't love singing anymore. And I discovered I really like walking. Especially when there is a breeze. I feel that I have earned another day.

老妈

有时候我觉得自己是世上最不孝的女儿。因为我对你说话的语气很不礼貌。因为每次你说阿武样子很老很难看我会走开不听你说话。因为你希望我好好跟大妹说话但我办不到。因为你总是要我当新闻播报员但我一点兴趣都没有。因为你从我十八岁到现在每个月都叫我好好去交个男朋友但我连男生的手都没牵过 (但我搂过阿武的腰)。 但再怎么不孝, 那都不代表我不爱你,不尊重你。 我知道你这么辛苦都是想给我们最好的。我也知道, 在这么多兄姐妹当中, 目前你最信任的是我。尽管有时候我觉得你对我的期望和对我的不理解让我很窒息, 但我一直都很努力做一个可以让你将来享福的女儿。 你留过的汗和血, 我没有视若无睹。我都有记着, 也时时提醒自己要报答。 八岁那年, 老师问我们长大后要当什么。我给的第一个答案其实不是当老师。是发明家。我说我要发明一个可以散发冷气的帽子。那么你在档口炒菜时带着它就不会觉得热了。 因为渐渐长大便觉得这个志愿很白痴, 所以从来不敢搬出来说。 过去几年我都送你衣服, 但没有一件你喜欢。于是今年我就决定送鞋子。他们说这个牌子的鞋子穿了对膝盖很好。希望你可以走更长远的路。 我们都爱钱。但我最希望的不是你发大财。是你健康, 快乐。 老妈, 生日快乐。

The Fault in Our Stars

The author must be a beautiful man.  Beautiful 'sick' story, and beautiful characters.  I thought I had seen the ending coming. I thought it would be predictable.  I was impressed.  I'm going to bed with teary eyes now before I wake up early tomorrow morning to continue with my research. I have quite some thoughts all over in my head. Using Green's words, they are like stars I can't fathom into constellations.  Goodnight. 

Me-time and walks and evening breeze

The day started off with a piece of good news. AhWU is nominated for Best Actor Award! I know his chances of victory are probably not high but who cares?! I dreamt of goreng pisang (banana fritters) and craved for them this morning. WW got me some from the favourite stall at Clementi Food Centre. Yumms. Good friend Cyclops asked me for lunch SUDDENLY. Let's not say he had an agenda because I like how he is always full of ideas to surprise his girlfriend on special occasions and I am most glad to help him if I am in any way useful. His sweetness struck me that I haven't received anything from a guy on Valentine's Day and my mum would label me a failure when it comes to this. Maybe I really am. But honestly the thought of someone giving me a bouquet of flowers (or even a single stalk) really scares me because I absolutely have no green fingers nor do I appreciate plants. I told good friend Cyclops I would prefer cash anytime and I think from his expression I could tell that s...

Tuesday.

Clearly I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. Mum woke me up at half past nine, half an hour earlier than I asked her to, and I was extremely angsty because I slept at 4am and woke up once at 7.10am because of her. She was mad because she thought I didn't appreciate her act of waking me up and so she slammed the door behind her as she left the room and then the house. I spent the next couple of hours worrying about what to say later in the evening if she was still angry. The scorching weather didn't help. Before I left home, I took a glance at my watch. It was 11.11 am. I haven't really stopped believing in it since a classmate told me about it in J2. I usually ask for people I love to be healthy and happy when such 'timely' coincidences emerge. Today I decided to make a wish for myself. I figured I was too angsty. I wished the rest of the day would be good. I took a bus down to Utown for brunch. The foodcourt was so crowded it was almost bursting at its sea...

only.

After so many years, you are still that only person (apart from AhWU) who is capable of igniting such immense joy in me. And I believe that will not change for many more years to come.

:)

2 February 2014 It's my best friend's birthday. I hope you have had a blessed one. And please continue to stay in my life because you are very important to me :) Mum had been down with fever. At the same time she kinda ran out of food to cook because she hardly cooked at home yet she had been whipping up dishes the past few days. Hence it was pretty timely for me to get out of the house for a meal but more importantly to meet great people during an occasion like this. The 革命 clique met again, this time without WJ and L. Nonetheless we were pretty much still as lively as ever. We talked about weddings and being lightsleepers and whatnots. Ah, I can't believe the next time I'm going to see them is probably June. I took a long bus ride home, whereby I nodded off to sleep throughout the journey. I had almost forgotten how it was like to doze off on the bus. And then I actually bumped into bf after I alighted the bus. What coincidence. We had our favourite nuggets and a cup ...
