The End

Autumn is such a lovely season, my favourite actually. There's a street in the city that I've gone by so many times for the past few years. I've dreamt of going to Uni everyday and walking down that street. Both sides of the road lined with Maple? trees... and it is just absolutely breathtaking in Autumn...

Now, I'm there. I walk down the street every Tuesday and Wednesday... and it is just amazing. I just want to keep walking forever...

 
My birthday is on Monday and it's quite special I must say. It's at the end of everything. I was late at night, end of the day. On a Sunday, end of the week, of the weekend. On the 31st, end of the month. In May, end of the season... and now it's pretty much the end of the semester. But why the beginning of exams :P I just want to see my two best girls soooon and celebrate the end of this semester! 
  
I'm so tired of worrying... I can't even write anything good lately. I can be in the most relaxing situation and still write a bunch of cliche crap. I need motivation, I need inspiration, I need sleep...


Hoping to post something gooood next time... sweet dreams xox

Leave me alone. Please.

Whenever I have good news or bad news or just news or anything on my mind at all... I tell me family and friends. I usually say I have no secrets because I'm horrible with keeping secrets and I just talk so much I don't think there is anything about me that's hidden. I express myself well.

There are however sides to me that I'd like to think no one knows about. It gives me an excuse to keep my distance to some I guess. When someone knows too much or absolutely everything about me, understand me, I get scared. I feel like I'm overexposed. That's why when a guy asks me "Why are girls so complicated?" I just answer [on behalf of myself] "We're not. As soon as you figure us out, we just like to change everything... just for the fun of your misery."

However there is one thing for sure; once I've told you something about me a million times, there's probably no chance in me changing it. It may seems harsh of me to cut people out of my life so easily, but trust me it's not.

You know how some say when in the moment of a near-death experience, you're life flashes before your eyes? Whenever I'm at peace, on my own on the bus, in my room, in the library etc. I like to think about everything. All the things that's happened in my past that has led me here. Of course I think of the most recent events more because it's at the furthest front of my mind.

I think about my decisions before, after and as I'm deciding. Same goes for my speech and actions. I aim to have no regrets. It's almost impossible to avoid, but that's my life dream. To have no regrets. So far, I can't say "I wish I could go back and do that differently" because the present me, wouldn't be the present me.

From the event that I have written somewhat obliquely about, comes a lot of emotions. I'm sad that I've lost friends. I'm upset that I can't get myself to take them back. But most of all, I'm angry from the pressure I've been getting from everyone else to change my mind. Persuading, is one thing, but guys this is beyond that already.

I've said that maybe after some time and space, and things have blown over I'll probably forget it. At this point I must say I have forgiven, but it's so damn hard to forget especially with this pressure. It makes me feel like people are being stuck in the middle because of me! Because it's my fault!

I seriously want to be left alone now. I feel like I can't talk to anyone but my family anymore. And even then, I now feel like I'm burdening them with my troubles so I hold back. I still yap on like there's no tomorrow but I can't express myself like I use to; comfortably. I can't enjoy life like I use to. NOT because I'm missing something but because I've got too much of something else. Just let me be. Please.

Taeyang



Everyone has a favourite song, a favourite performer, an idol. Mine has got to be Taeyang. He is a 23-year-old South Korean singer. Also part of Big Bang, my favourite Asian music group.




A few years ago, I accidentally came across his song Make Love on Limewire when I was looking for random new songs. And I've been hooked ever since. You could even say obsessed. He is an amazing singer, dancer and I'd imagine, an amazing person.

I write poetry but I don't write songs. I sing in the car but I don't dream of becoming a performer. So I never thought I'd idolise a performer so much. Even though most of the time I don't understand his lyrics, I understand the song. His songs make me feel something. They are soulful. Every beat; the music, lyrics and dance steps - I can feel how much effort has been put in.

I know the press exaggerates a lot. Though I want to believe that what I've learnt about him is true. His personality they describe, his ethics; it reinforces my beliefs to his music. It actually makes me feel better about this world.

I study Politics. I am beginning to hate it, because it makes me feel so sad about the world. I want to think liberally, but I always end up the realist. hen I turn on my iPod and Taeyang takes me to a whole other place. I think about what kind of person he is. It makes me feel that this world can have perfection, just like him - but there is a lot of work to be put in. It makes me think liberally.

I've actually stopped myself from posting about him so many times cuz I know I'll start rambling like the obsessed teenage girl I am. But here it is. To my idol, Taeyang.

blurry but clear

Open my eyes just to yearn for the dream I just woke up from. I sigh to myself. My mind says don't get up the dream can be a reality if you believe. But everything around me points to reality. The alarm clock saying it's a brand new day - whether I like it or not. The clanging in the kitchen says it's breakfast time - gotta eat, gotta survive, gotta live.

I hop outta bed and into the shower. As I stare at the droplets on the glass, I think of all the what if's I can possibly think of. I get dress, have breakfast, grab my bag and rush out the door.

On the way to the bus stop I look at every detail so carefully. The veins on the leaves, the ants on the footpath... trying to imagine I'm seeing it all for the first time.

Sitting at the bus stop I think of what could happen right now that could change my life forever. Just like a scene from a movie. What would that be like?

I get on the bus. Looking out the window - drifting off into my own world. Imagining it all as a cartoon.

Suddenly I realise, I just spent my entire morning dreaming. Something I would have been doing if I had chosen to stay in bed. However this dreaming is all me. It's all my choice. I have complete control. I'm living the best of any world! Dreams, reality... anything. The lines are blurry, but one thing is definitely clear... I can be that line.

seasons change and so do we.

I don't like stress. I like to think that I don't stress but my body tells me otherwise. I try to be simple. I like to live simple. But I guess you can't dodge every pothole on the road. I don't want to be near people that causes me stress and issues.

Life itself is tough enough sometimes. Family, can be of many colours, colours that we can't choose. So at least with friends - surroundings of which I have a choice - can be as simple as possible. If we enjoy each others' company, good. If I've been hurt, I tend to choose another path, one that preferrably doesn't cross the one of the painful past.

It may seem like I don't believe in others, I don't give them a chance. But a heart is only so big. It can only fit so many. It can only survive so much. I want to be a light-hearted person. Though once I fall, it won't be as painful and I hope it'll be worth it.

Lastly, I want to wish a person good health and prosperity. Our future paths may or may not cross again, but you will always, always, be within my memories and my heart. You are and always will be...

autumn bring colours
of golden yellow and red
breathtaking colours

winter brings the cold
that brings us all together
a soft warmth within

spring brings about life
oh the twittering new life
it amazes me

summer brings the heat
with romance, joy and laughter
happy summer days

seasons come and go
so quickly within a glance
you just gotta flow
while you got the chance

no time to look back
and question what's been
before everything turns black
let everything be seen

i can't ask you why
why we were never happy
i just gotta live my life
hoping you remember me

i shed a tear
at the thought of you
it makes me scared
of what's this come to

i wish you well
with all my heart
there's no point to dwell
as now we've part

Hectic.

It has been way too long since my last post. I guess I'm feeling the full throttle of Uni life now... I'm enjoying it though. I cannot say it enough, the friends I've made are fantastic. I feel like I belong and as far as I know I'm not making their lives worse :)

I'm planning on going back to my old job. I have also felt the reality of how much money we need to spend everyday :P Not only just spending with friends and myself but on living necessities. I guess I have to admit that I'm not a kid anymore. I don't hate the responsibilities though, it makes me feel good about myself at the end of the day.

The big and best news is that I'm turning 18 in 20 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How awesome is that?!?!?! I've planned on having my 18th as a Masquerade for years now but it seems like around every corner, is a masked ball. What is up with that?! In the end, I can't celebrate it until the end of June because of exams. Still the BEST aspect of alll this.. is my two bestest friends are coming here just for my birthday!!

The only other issue on my mind right now is boys. I meet great guys. I feel like I should like them in that special way, but I don't and lately, can't. My sister reckons maybe the next one I feel a spark for might be the one. But that's too chick-flick-cliché I think. I mean I won't hate it, just I don't expect it. I do want to feel vulnerable and fall for someone. I miss that feeling. I miss the chase. I miss it all! I do have a feeling the next time I do could be very special though. Fingers crossed.

I don't think I'm gonna attach a poem in this entry. Not so much writers' block as to ... see I can't even think of a phrase for it... My creativity levels are LOW :( and I'm not happy about it. I've been coming up with bits and pieces that are really good but lead no where. And when it does lead somewhere, it's something tooo similar to my past works. I need inspiration! I need new... emotions? events? anything?!
