Forgiving is love's toughest work, and love's biggest risk. To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.
いつか失ってしまうのかな。薄れてゆく笑顔と君を守りたい。

If fate is a wheel, then we are the sand that is crushed between the cogs.

于是我让孤独更孤独,有一种不是悲伤的悲伤,才是刻骨铭心的悲伤。
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.

the optimistic pessimist

supposedly an adult, she thinks like an adult (too much, if you ask me). deep inside, she is nothing but a little girl, with her little lofty dreams and ideals. and oops, she is breaking them, one by one.
more often than not, she is just an angsty emo kid.

she is only but
a passer-by,

an onlooker,
a walking shadow.

and this girl can't stop writing.

After all, what is in the past but what we choose to remember? They can choose not to hide it, to take what's broken, to feel the pain and know that it will heal. They know where happiness lies, not in a cave or a country, but in love and the freedom to give and take what has been there all along.

 Memories were also a way of looking in a mirror, but it was a jagged mirror of broken glass, one that cast imperfect reflections. Like shards, these memories drew blood.

Responsibility means not blaming anyone or anything for your situation, including yourself...

I don't know, I don't know. Sometimes I feel like I'm a pair of eyes and ears, and I'm just trying to stay safe and make sense of what's happening. I know what to avoid, what to worry about.I'm like those kids who live with gunfire going off around them. I don't want pain. I don't want to die. I don't want to see other people around me die. But I don't have anything left inside me to figure out where I fit in or what I want. If I want anything, it's to know what's possible to want.

ytd was fun haha. met joan at 5 and we went into tch. walked right to the end of it where the scouts rm is. haha. never walked there before until joan brought me there. i saw the junior scouts first. haha we decided to be a little more discreet and walked to the side to spot pin and barney. ok pin was like so damn recognizable. barney.. needed a few more looks to confirm. haha in scouts u!! caught u!
we went to the benches in hc to sit and wait for them to finish. haha. waited for them to change. they came over for a while. then later went to play soccer. cyn came over and we went to walk walk abit. den went back to where joan was and waited somemore. played puzzle bubble and more puzzle bubble haha. i finally got to level 11!
when finally pin came over and dried himself and what not, we went over to maf proper. walked with them for a while, saw the nice lightup, den met up with cyn coz she like got separated frm her choir mates. pin and joan went to get a drink, den i decided to leave them alone. went walking around with cyn and met up with her choir mates. they are really nice ppl:)
somehow ended up in the. erm i dunno what they call it. ok whatever. dancing mass dance. so they ended up dancing and i ended up stoning haha. den later sang songs. so long since i sang like chinese songs all the way through in a sch. ok i didnt sing all of them but still. i miss ny. haiz. the hc songs of course i dunno. even tho until the end i could get the tune, i still couldn't sing. haha. im an njcian! how can i sing hc songs!?! non-hc ones i sing along lah haha. they sang, or rather we sang dang ni gu dan ni hui xiang qi shei. hiyo so sad. but it turned out v funny. haha. coz we were standing in 2 rows at first, the guys at the back and gals in front. den when we sang this song the gals turned around and we put our arms around each other. haha they included me! ended up a guy on my left and cyn on my right. haha he didnt dare to put his arms around my shoulder!! ok expected lah. but later we still completed the circle. but till now i still dunno who is he. but nvm. i just found the whole thing v funny haha.
after singing they continued mass dancing and i continued stoning. ok so i looked damn weird in the centre of that place. even the councillors asked me to join in. i didnt haha. so i decided i should go look for pin and joan. den pin called! haha. ok joan called. ok joan called using pin's phone. yupz. haha. they were in tch. was so dark haha i nearly didnt know how to walk. but of course i couldnt miss the tch clock tower. so met up with them. went to kap to eat dinner. had to climb the gate out.
yeah enjoyable day! on the way home listened to cd cyn passed to me. oh my it just rox. i mean the 3rd track. the first time i listened to it last year i was really touched by it. then this yr's concert. den ytd. gosh its such a beautiful song-Amor de mi Alma (translation: you are the love of my soul).
i was born to love only you
my soul has formed you to its measure
for you i was born
for you i live
for you i must die
and for you i give my last breath

im so dead. bleahs. blame myself for slacking. bio test: still photosynthesis and nothing else. econs essay: 1 and 1/2 pgs only. blame myself for keep forgetting to call bea. pw: nothing. i guess at this rate i'll only look at it at 1am. and printing it at 2.
but still at least i feel better. haha.
no matter how busy i am now due to my stupid slacking throughout the week, i still hafta write this. i think it's impt.
everyone suffers in life. dont run away. embrace it. confront it. dont ask why. dont ask why is it you and not someone else. ask how. ask how you can learn from it. ask how you can become stronger through it. ask how you can become a better person. sufferings are necessary. right from the moment we were born. we had to cry when we were delivered. if we didnt cry it would spell trouble. so there. necessary sufferings are there to help us. just that we may not know its effects there and then.

waited for bus until i died. saw yang walking down the bridge into nj. haha knew he was doing pw.. in the end i still went for lunch at yoshinoya. they just finished eating and i joined them. on the way there the bus driver quarrelled with one of the passengers. quite scary sia. they were v loud and shouting at each other. the passenger knocked on the door of the bus coz the driver didnt open it. n the driver said tt he didnt open it coz the ppl havent move to the rear of the bus yet. den he went "where u come frm huh! blardy no manners ah u! u still wear shirt and tie huh!" this went on for quite some time and everyone was staring at them. gosh. someone tried to be the mediator and was ignored. but i still reached orch safely. haha
went to coffee bean. did pw until die. listened to the same cd that they played over and over again for more than 10 times. casie counted. haha. we alr memorized the seq of the songs by the end of the session. lg msged n said yang wanted to come. haha msged him to tell him not to come. in the end he was in taka. so we just told him where we were. he got lost in taka n didnt know how to walk! haha. so we guided him and he reached safely. den he went kino to read. came down again and sat in for our pw session. he helped quite a bit lah. haha.
well so that's my day. ended pw at 10. gosh. this is madness. haiz. i still havent started mugging. joanne, barney, yang have. haiz im so dead.
