Stand your ground

I knew you weren't strong enough for me to lean on.
I'm fucking pissed and I haven't been angry in a really long time.
I'm going to take my advice.
I will not feel sorry for myself.
I will not be a victim anymore.

Hang on

Life's been pretty uneventful since school's started. I've been getting little sleep thanks to CCA so I'm coming home exhausted every night. It seems like I'll get a breather once the concert is over but I doubt it. I know there's waves of CAs coming my way soon and I'll have to buck up if I want to pull up my gpa. Funny thing is that I told myself that I was going to come home early once school started.
I'm getting a clearer picture of what I'm like to people. I'm not as horribly awkward as I think I am but I feel absolutely dreadful in social situations. They make me a wreck. I'm still awkward though, but I've come to terms with it.
You are the sun and I am the moon.
We had our pre-prep for the concert at Black Box today and it was a long long ordeal. I'm going to bring card games or something to while the time away tomorrow. I'm pretty excited for tomorrow actually. Ate pepper lunch for, well, lunch, and then we had Astons for dinner. Then parted from the group and followed the boy to Kampong Glam to take photos for his school assignment.
Spent a good amount of time talking with him. It's been a while since we've had one of those long conversations about our feelings and thoughts and junk like that. I didn't realise how much I've missed those talks. And I told him something that had been on my mind for quite a while. Until now, I still find it difficult to explain why I like him so much. I can say things like he's funny and he's smart but I've just realised that the best answer would be because of the way I feel when I'm with him. Safe, loved, understood, cared for, completely at ease, happy.
Leaving you with instagram shots of today!
Hani, Me & Roy!
Yao Xing and Danial :3 Two of my favourite people from VT
Crispy chicken and potato salad for dinner (:
I'm seriously considering not sleeping since it's already 3am. But I need the sleep so badly. So I'm going to head to bed right now. Tomorrow's going to be a long day and I'm going to be happy throughout it. I'll be sleepy and tired but I guess I'll catch some rest on the boy's shoulder tomorrow.

Something else for thought.
Wednesday, October 17, 2012 @ Wednesday, October 17, 2012
It wasn't even tiring, it was just really really boring.
I'm going to dread working in the afternoons for the next few months.
But I need the money so I've got no choice.
School's started. It's been 3 days. I've suddenly been reminded how annoying 8am lessons are when I'm desperately clinging to my bed in the morning. It should be illegal to wake up before the sun even rises. Midnight's approaching and I'm heading to bed now so I can save myself tomorrow.
School is from 8am to 8pm tomorrow.
*cue hopeless laughter*
Long day with conflicting commitments.
I'll decide what to do when the time comes.
Good night, you. Sweet dreams.

weakening bones

I've been crying a lot lately. But I'm glad I have you to tuck my hair behind my ears and brush away my tears. And I love how you bring my head towards your shoulder so that I can ugly cry into your clothes while you're holding me. You even try to cheer me up with my own stupid jokes.
It feels so nice to lean on someone once in a while. Most people don't ever worry about me because I can take care of myself. So it feels nice to have someone take care of me for a change. My only wish is that I'm strong enough for you to count on too.
Maybe not yet.

Black and Blue
Monday, October 15, 2012 @ Monday, October 15, 2012
Great, so I'm going to be broke and fat.
My only consolations for spending so much are the 3 gorgeous dresses I've picked up today.
One black maxi which can pretty much pass for a prom dress. Bought it at $19 at a flea when the price tag on the back read $50. It was really pretty so I didn't have to think much about it at all. The next two were bought from (don't judge me) the Cotton On outlet at Anchorpoint. Clothes are always on sale there for some reason that is unbeknownst to me. Yeah, that's an unnecessarily complicated word to use but nevermind. So thanks to Danial, I bought a long black ombre dress and another short blue velvety dress with a floral design at $15 each. The last one I mentioned as got to be my favourite.
I bought them for school.
I know it sounds weird but think about it, all I have to do is just pick one thing to throw on and I'm all set. There's no hassle to pair this with that and etc. Picking clothes is the main reason I'm always late for class. That and also because my bed is so alluring. Mmm.
I'm going to dread checking my bank account.
A few days ago, I had a sudden interest in film cameras suddenly and spent a good few hours looking through websites deciding on a film camera to buy. I finally decided on a cheap one which took the kind of vintagey photos I liked, all vignetted and hipsterish and shit. It's called the kumosan and costs $40 but the thing is that I had decided all this before I had gotten my pay. Now that I've spent so much of it, I'm going to have to wait till my next pay day to get it.
It's sky blue which make me so incredibly happy because it's my favourite colour! So I'm going to wait it out and see if this is something I'd really want to do or just another passing whim. But film photography sounds like so much fun right?
Ps. I've been addicted to Miranda lately.
She is my spirit animal.

Met Danial at town. Initially, we were going to eat at Kiseki, which was a Japanese buffet. It was too packed though and my stomach was feeling odd so in the end, we ate at Raindrops Cafe @ SCAPE. I finally got to taste their godly mushroom soup drizzled with truffle oil again. Last time I ate it was for Aiyin's celebration there last year. This time we tried the light brown beef fettuccine and squid ink pasta with scallops and prawns. The latter turned our lips black but it was pretty good (:
Then after that we headed to playnation for xbox and wii games! After we realised we sucked at guitar/band hero, we played House of the Dead and Mario Kart and then Street Fighter. Walked around town for a bit after that and then he brought me to 1 Altitude for the ahhhhh-mazing 360 view of Singapore. It was fucking gorgeous. I adore lights at night. From really up high, they look like constellations. Okay, we weren't supposed to be up there but I'll spare you the details.

Hurts like heaven

Sometimes I'm really in awe over how talented she is. I mean, all I do is sing. Lots of people can do that right? Most can probably sing better than me too. JM is a completely different story. She arranged the mashup of the song that we were doing, plays the guitar and sings at the same time. She can also play the piano and ukelele. Plus, she's usually the one who edits the videos.
Gifted right, this girl.
And the final product.
Out newest video.
Maybe give it a listen? If you like it then subscribe :> I can honestly say that we really appreciate anyone who shows us even the littlest bit of support. We love youuuu ♥
Saw this as I was scrolling through my twitter timeline.
Pisces:
People may find fault with your relationship but in this moment,
its what is right for you. Whatever happens this is in your hands.
Slept at 5am yesterday because I was talking with Danial about something we should have realised at the beginning. Weird thing is that both of us were thinking the same things, but no one did anything to stop it. We're more alike than we know.
Started the day off to mom yelling at me to wake up. I think she was grumpy cause she was really hungry. I didn't want to tell her I slept at 5 cause I knew it'd piss her off even more. Brunch with the family at Sin Kee Chicken Rice stall. The chicken rice is insanely good but this time we ate curry chicken noodle instead and it was just as delicious.
Met the best friend later in the evening for food at mac. She teared up while talking to me and that's when you really know something's wrong. She's a very strong and independent girl and she never ever cries in front of anyone. Eventually moved on to talk about happier things and finally went home.
Currently, I feel a fever coming on.
And I have work tomorrow.
I hate feeling so stuck, like I don't know what I want. Break's over and school's starting soon. That means cca, assignments and gunning for a decent GPA. Not that the holidays were that great anyways. I did little apart from work and cca. I had my good days but those were few and far between.
The truth is that everything bores me now. I want to get away from the mundane, the monotony of it all. I remember the days where I was wishing I could run away somewhere far and leave everything behind. I wanted to rip through the ropes that bound me. What a gift, to be alone for a while. My heart just wanted freedom, not this false sense of freedom. Two months off with school just lingering around the corner, getting closer and closer each day. I want nothing to fear and no one to answer to.
My mind is cruel and kills all thoughts of the things I long for.
"You have responsibilities. Family, friends, school."
If I allowed myself to be any more selfish, I'd turn into a monster.
