Youth.

2012-01-12T21:42:00.000-08:00

Youth; the dreams we had as a child and as a teenager, the ones we held so tightly to our chests never belittling them, only feeding them through our thoughts, ideas and imagination.Oh, how I miss you imagination. The moonlit nights we spend talking on the phone taking in every single word that was said with a child-like wonder, laughing till our stomach hurt but hearts were filled with a breath of life, like no other time our lives will once again ever possess. The recklessness of words that could be said, could - not that we abused the power, but it was always nice to know that we could if we wanted to.

When serious was a word that never existed in anybody's vocabulary, especially our parents who waved off every bit of it no matter how much we protested in angst, like worthless pennies on the street. When we felt like we could run for miles on pure adrenaline found in bottled soda drinks and lollipops from the petrol kiosk round the corner. When we got lost in the world of books, captured by will, mind drifting into a world of make-believe, reading words of others so eagerly, mind absorbing like sponge, hands glued to pages. Of poetry, of non-fiction and fiction. No, we wouldn't look away. Then, our pens came alive - kicking and struggling to bear many a word on blank pages, and ink that flowed endlessly...pages after pages; bearing a secret, telling a story.

Of walks in the park, or sitting on that stone bench hugging our thick nerdy textbooks, just talking. Of school, of life, of family, of friends and a little bit of that romance that we all hoped for, when that day comes. Of bits of colourful strings and ribbons we fashioned into friendship bands for symbols of our sisterhood. Then the growing-up began.

Of lady gaga styled bad romances, bonds that break, politics - argh the most disgusted of sorts. How we have changed. Tortured by the burdens of reality, setting in fast and furious with every passing second that we were now... grown-ups. No longer capable of careless whispers, born-free style let's-run-through-life scenarios. Our self-righteousness, stubborn ways all bent and distorted in favour of the formalities of growing up. The path we now walk are straight and grey, and the colours in the wind don't exist anymore. Perhaps, they never did. Youth as bold and beautiful, faded into the dark - perhaps too swift, perhaps with a tinge of regret.

I miss you, my friend.
You will always be remembered.
Forever young may be only a state of mind,
but nevertheless...
I promise to keep it close.

xoxo.

illusion

2011-06-30T02:31:00.000-07:00

Follow my dreams into distant lands
Blowing in the winds over shifting sands

I’m in too deep;
lost in this illusion.

2011-06-09T23:12:00.000-07:00

We're of the same existence
No lock without a key
We can't deny it's meant to be ;

-armin feat. sophie ellis bextor

2011-04-26T10:17:00.000-07:00

"and there are many things that i would like to say to you."
light peeking through the cracks like
memories of yesterday.
x

2011-04-21T11:49:00.001-07:00

I don't seek for perfection.
All I ask is for consideration and sincerity.
Is it that hard to understand.

x

2011-02-21T08:19:00.000-08:00

You know I'm usually really nice.
But I should have known.
You're not usual.
Hence, you don't deserve nice.

Fair game.
Send your sarcasm somewhere else.
You're not welcomed here.

2011-02-19T09:12:00.000-08:00

one of these days letters are gonna fall
from the sky telling us to all go free
but until that day i'll find a way to let everybody know
that you're coming back,
that you're coming back for me.

---
Letters from the sky.

2011-02-19T08:55:00.000-08:00

It's easy to drift,
just remember to find your way back home.

-a.

2011-02-10T08:19:00.000-08:00

loose lips sink ships.
in this case,
your ship.

2010-12-29T10:12:00.000-08:00

nobody,nobody but you.
*clap clap*
just for the effects.

2010-12-11T10:29:00.000-08:00

feeling so empty.

2010-11-21T22:18:00.000-08:00

you take my breath away;
San Francisco.

2010-11-04T09:27:00.000-07:00

Pretending isn't something I do easy.
I need a little breathing space.
Oh,I can smell the air of SF & LV already.
Come to mama,wanderlust.

2010-11-01T09:31:00.000-07:00

Some words are better not saying.
Especially if it makes you sound like a fool,
and me look like a fool.

---

2010-10-22T09:34:00.000-07:00

Contradicting;that's what you are.
I don't feel the least bit appreciated when you only add negativity.

---

If it's such a chore then screw it.
I'll never do a single nice thing again.

There are far more many better things in life.

2010-10-20T06:06:00.001-07:00

I need to need to need to lose weighttt.
5 to start off with.

---

here we gooo...
(again).

Worse.

2010-08-25T08:20:00.000-07:00

crying your heart out in a cab,
or trying to cry without a sound.
I can't tell which felt worse.

2010-07-25T22:01:00.001-07:00

you can travel the world,

but nothing comes close to the golden coast.

---

i'll trade nothing in the world.

2010-07-05T07:13:00.000-07:00

As we sink in pools of crystal clear,

we drift away in slient bliss.

As we laze around in paradise,

our heads filled with unspoken dreams.

One last day before my freedom ended,

enjoying a little stay-cation with the best friend & his sister.

We seriously snacked wayyy too much.

Oh well.

Here, cheers to moi new life.

2010-06-10T09:10:00.000-07:00

finally given the green light today;
i hate to leave,
but i know it's the right path to take.
it's hard to say goodbye, but it's just too difficult to stay.
so long farewell my loves.
you'll always be in my heart UI.

2010-06-04T09:22:00.001-07:00

Anything but ordinary, please.

2010-05-17T07:59:00.000-07:00

Things taste extra sweet after bitterness.
Remember.

2010-05-04T08:53:00.000-07:00

Do you ever wonder if you love me,
as much as you think you do?
action.words.feelings.
I wished there were &s in between them all.

2010-04-29T08:50:00.000-07:00

I miss seeing this from my window;

like my dad's favourite plate says...

"I'd rather be in Hawaii."

Aye aye captain.

2010-04-29T08:46:00.000-07:00

I'm easy to please,
all I need is a getaway.

Conclusion

2010-04-23T08:44:00.000-07:00

Even if my heart is smashed into a million little pieces,
I will still love you.
.
.
.
I don't know if that makes me romantic or just plain sad.

Is love subjective?

2010-04-23T07:18:00.000-07:00

Is it subjected to who gains, who loses?
Is it subjected to the hours one puts in,as we do at work,overtime pays more?
Is it subjected to comparison like our mothers do so with our grades, among their friends?
If love should be subjected to anything at all,
then it is not love.
If at any moment it can be compared against or renders a second opinion,
then it is not love.

---

It was a bitter night.
I dreamt I was all alone.
I woke up to realise that I am all alone.
I have realised that I am not so strong after all.

wondering...

2010-04-15T08:58:00.001-07:00

why she's so hardworking when her pay cannot afford anything she owns.
That's just the lazyass in her who wants to sleep till 10am,talking.

2010-04-08T06:31:00.000-07:00

2010-04-01T19:52:00.001-07:00

Hide & seek;
We chase butterflies.
Why even bother?
Cause love is more than this moment.
10,000 moments, even more.

Find me,don't lose me.
Hide & seek;
the games that we used the play.
Engraved eternality in my heart,
remember what we said.

---

Poetry and its depth.

2010-03-06T20:38:00.000-08:00

It was simple.
Lying against your chest.
Each breath of fresh air I took,brought me your sweet scent.
Filling my lungs with life,
intoxicating me with happiness.

I listen to your strong heartbeat...
Tears of joy.I thank God.
I will remember this moment till the day I die.

2010-03-04T10:11:00.001-08:00

I want to be less ordinary,
and more extraordinary.
Is that possible?

2010-02-05T09:39:00.000-08:00

Sometimes when all your dreams may have seen better days
And you don't know how or why, but you've lost your way
Have no fear when your tears are fallin'
I will hear your spirit callin'
And I swear I'll be there come what may

"For a certain kind of person, love begins from something tiny or silly. From something like that, or it doesn't begin at all."

-Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

2009-11-22T23:49:00.000-08:00

I feel crappy;
like someone sucked all my happy vibes away today,
and i'm wallowing in self-misery.

For some strange reason this reminds me of Spongebob Squarepants.
Me needs some stupid haha therapy from the cartoon right now.

2009-11-22T10:55:00.001-08:00

I feel jaded;
in a state of i-don't-wanna-do-anything-leave-me-alone.
All I really want to do is
rest,relax and clear my mind.

For someone who just came back from a getaway...
I don't feel like i've gotten away from myself.
Round two.

2009-11-03T21:48:00.000-08:00

You've opened my eyes to many other things in life.

That life is a marvel

and even trees fall in love;

Happy 11th of 4th

2009-10-17T10:23:00.001-07:00

I wished I had seen this coming much earlier
Perhaps if I did, right now...
we'll be able to start living the rest of our lives together.
jia you! we'll get there
sooner or later.

fret' not...I'll always be by your side.

"The sky and the long bank of clouds melt into one another,blue into paler blue.To my left, he sleeps beside me, his head turned towards mine, mouth slightly open.I can almost hear his breathing as I watch the gentle rise and fall of his chest.I take his right hand with my left and he stirs, turning away.The bright morning sunlight hits the aeroplane wing and it bounces off, sending a white shaft piercing through my window. The ring on my finger sparkles, like a star in a midnight sky, a wave on a sunlit ocean, a diamond solitaire.
A diamond.
And this time,
I smile to myself,
I know it's real."

-Quoted from Epilogue of Lucy In The Sky -

I love this paragraph.I don't know why,but thinking about it makes me think
of our future; the plans we have, the goals we're working towards, together.
I can't help but feel ultimate bliss.

2009-08-02T09:42:00.000-07:00

I am positively sure I love you much more than I did yesterday.
And that my dear,
sure is a LOT.

(:

Have faith

2009-07-10T11:26:00.000-07:00

Cause I love you like no others,
and will love you for always.

2009-07-06T07:45:00.000-07:00

Dear God,
Thank you for the first day of work.
In all honesty,I'm scared.I feel lost and I'm worried.
I know I need to have more faith;
You wouldn't put me there for no reason.
Give me the strength,wisdom,faith,courage & understanding
needed.
Grant me favour so that I may bond with my workmates.
,and grace that I may be able to handle the situations
man may throw at me during my line of work.

Amen.

That's why we're all either in love or looking for love.
Sometimes,you have to work for it -

but I believe true, deep love is always
worth fighting for."

这是一首简单的小情歌
唱着人们心肠的曲折
我想我很快乐
当有你的温热
脚边的空气转了

你知道就算大雨让这座城市颠倒
我会给你怀抱
受不了看见你背影来到
写下我度秒如年难捱的离骚

for you.

2009-06-05T12:19:00.000-07:00

Happy 6th of the 4th.
You make it real for me and having your fingers
laced through mine just means the world to me.

I've come to realise...

2009-05-08T04:40:00.001-07:00

that the difference is being sad,
and heartbreakingly sad,
is a matter of who causes it.

2009-05-01T10:55:00.001-07:00

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, thats how you'll stay
That's why, darling, its incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

2009-04-30T21:44:00.000-07:00

cause I'm hanging on every word you say

And even if you dont wanna speak tonight

That's alright, alright with me

cause I want nothing more

Than to sit outside your door

And listen to you breathing

It's where I wanna be

Breathing - Lifehouse

I really love this song.

2009-04-30T21:39:00.000-07:00

2009-04-14T09:31:00.000-07:00

I just had the most heartbreaking conversation.
You know the sort that twists your insides out,
and makes your heart feel like it's going to
pop out from your chest and take flight?
The sort that feels like you're out of air,
and you're dying from the flow of tears
that overwhelms your soul and mind.
The sort where you just wished it never happened
and you just want to rewind,pause and never playback.
That kind of heartbreak.

We humans are funny beings and it doesn't take a rocket scientist
to figure this out;
but sometimes our epitome of great happiness can be
the source of the greatest sadness too.
My body hurts,but my heart hurts even more.

2009-03-31T09:41:00.001-07:00

Sometimes I wonder;
if you know what you've done to me.

How my heart beats starts with Y and ends with U.
How my thoughts each day,begins with you in mind
and ends with you in mind too.
How you've become most importantly,
and how I've become second.

Sometimes,it scares me knowing you mean that much.

But I know,in times like this...
when fear and doubt seems to cloud my judgement,
I can always count on your hand reaching out,
to hold my hand or catch my worried heart.

And these,just remind me of how foolish I am,
cause deep down,I know you love me with every breath...
just as I do,love you.

xoxo

2009-03-24T10:18:00.000-07:00

with every beat of my heart;

Give me your lips for just a moment

And my imagination will make that moment live

Give me what you alone can give

A kiss to build a dream on

---

The cold of the night is gone,

with warmth just from

the thought of you.

2009-03-11T11:21:00.000-07:00

You're the beat that can't stop

The peak of my plot

That deep in my thought

The time on my watch

The air that I breathe

The world that I see

You are, you are

maybe she's in the Bahamas
Where the Carribean sea is blue
Weeping in a tropical moonlit night
Because nobody's told her 'bout you

Surrounded by a million people,
yet somehow,
the ability to feel alone still remains.

Stars in your eyes

2008-09-03T10:13:00.000-07:00

The memory of this still reminds me of you.
The heart is jaded,the mind is weak.

2008-08-26T08:23:00.000-07:00

And let me peer inside
Let me in
Where only your thoughts have been
Let me occupy your mind
As you do mine

---

Why do all good things come to an end?
I miss you all.

Away.

Seasons may change, winter to spring
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
...

If love had a song,this would be it.

I'm running around in circles, baby

A quiet desperation's building higher

Of pleasures and pain.
