It's a damn cold night...

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.

Don't judge a life by one difficult season.

At times it may not even seem rational, but the heart has a computing ability that is far more accurate and far more precise than anything within the limits of rational thought.
-- Deepak Chopra
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.
-- St Francis.
People's actions are influenced by their expectations. People respond not just to what is happening now, but to what they anticipate will happen in the future.

不管你会不会忘了我,我只想告诉你一个秘密。

Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind.

The furthest distance in the world is not between life and death but when I stand in front of you yet you don't know that I love you.
-- Tagore
Do do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.

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.

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.

i knew right from the start that today would be a bad day. im right. got back our papers today. one word: depressing.
have been in a terrible mood. and everything just translates to me saying sucky stuff and having a sucky face. sux.
i dont know how to control the situation. i dont know what is going on. i thought i could. maybe i cant. i guess i got to accept that some stuff cant be controlled. ah well.

our WR is finally done, binded and handed up. im relieved. phew. working on it continuously for 2 days isnt a joke. tues afternoon all the way into the night without lunch, throughout the night, slept or napped for 2h, woke up went sch and immediately plunged into it again. ponned assembly and gp to continue doing. had focus grp discussion in between for cca leaders. have another one after op. bleah. anyway, then didnt go for lunch to continue doing. had chem lesson which turned out to be counselling session by mr goh. he's a nice and good teacher:) after that we had permission to continue working on it for maths and econs tut. and continue working through the afternoon. supposed to be handed in at 4pm. ms tan got so worried. she called and helped us extend deadline to today 8am. thank god. we cant thank the teachers enough for being so accomodating and helpful. we are feeling quite guilty.. last min it was decided that we had to come to my house to print it since there was no colour printer anywhere else nearer. so all of them came plus bao plus pin. we continued editing our wr while bao slacked around and helped occasionally. we had to beg yongsheng to stop the photocopying shop from closing coz we needed to bind in sch. the whole situation was so comical yet so desperate. we ended up printing just a few pages (since my printer is so damn slow wen printing coloured pgs) and plus parts of pin's wr that he doesnt want, and let barney and casie go sch to let the auntie bind. so that we can get the envelop with the sch stamp on it. joanne and i remained to continue editing. there were so many probs and at the v last prob which is the stupid flowchart i nearly just broke down. it was getting v late, casie and barney were waiting for joanne to bring the wr to sch, and photocopying shops close relatively early. the wr took 45 min to print. i hate my printer. but better than nothing. by the time joanne left it was 8. i was still worried if they could find an open shop. at first they couldnt. but they eventually did. thank god again. everything was done. proper. handed up today. phew.
but our tech run and dry run is next mon and tues. we havent even thought of anything for op. this is great. the file is in quite a mess too. i was trying to sort it out. not much use. nvm.
oh yah and now mum is confused betw joanne and joan. haha.
havent been sleeping much. continuously stressed too. this is bad. coz i end up grumpy and ppl like bao and joan get it from me. i sux. nvm.
things lost can be found again. for some things, chances missed would never come back. i suppose its true that there's no such things as second chances sometimes.. i hope i wont regret whatever im doing now. but even if i do, i dont have a second chance anymore.

for the first time *again* i ponned sch. gosh. haha. it was some leadership talk thing which we paid for.. since they got the canoeists to guard the gates, we just tapped our cards and came out without going for assembly at all. went joan's house. heehee played for some time before going to j8 for new police story. quite a nice show sia..
den we went back to sch. joan for ushering training. me and bao for guitar souvenir making. so we didnt go for arts prog. now ms tan expects a letter frm the ppl who didnt go for the arts prog, which is essentially half the class. nvm..
after the guitar souvenir making until lib night duty me and bao were really so damn sian. i realized tt when there are only two ppl around there is nothing much to do. we had nothing to do nothing to say. in the end stone and just kept msging. and bao was so bored she replaced the lyrics of songs wif the word stone and sang all the way through lidat. damn funny..
we went for shut up for a while.. den left for lib night duty just when joan came.. so she went home and we went for night duty.. slacked the whole night also.. reading story books.. we really have nothing else to do..
im aching all over the place.. and i just thought of the reason why.. frm the games fest tennis game.. never exercise for too long.. cmi.. whole right shoulderblade and arm aching like hell.. legs aching just a bit..
i'll pray for tml..
