I'm Rambling

Here I am, awake again, at this ungodly hour when everyone is still in dreamland, and its raining outside. Lately, I have been having some trouble trying to sleep when I'm in bed. Usually, I am asleep in last than 15 minutes after hitting the sheets. I guess there's just so much on my mind...

When you like or love a person, you would try to accept everything about him/her, yes? Most people willingly do that for their partners, accepting their flaws, be it whether their partners have a weird dress sense or hairy legs. I guess it's a little more tricky when it comes to your partner's character. When it comes to me, I'm usually pretty acceptive of my partner's flaws, but I must admit that when it comes to character wise, in some areas, not so much. I can tolerate a guy who argues back in a quarrel, makes me wait 1 hour so that he could finish his things, or one who chooses to go out with friends at times instead of me. I will not tolerate a guy who makes me look bad in front of people, friends mostly, flirts openly in public or talks to me in a sourish tone just because he is tired. I'm sure there are many other things I wont tolerate, but I'm not going to list them all down.

Valentine's day is coming. How lucky it would be if you have that someone who still makes the effort to sweep you off your feet just like the times when both of you first start going out and who gives you the attention you deserve to celebrate with? Not all girls need roses to be happy.

You'll Be Safe Here

It's 5am here and I'm still wide awake.. Had a very hectic 2 weeks as I tried to juggle work and school and I must say, not at all easy. I'll be stopping work soon to concentrate on my studies though, so hopefully I wont feel so drained everytime.

It's funny how some people can manage to twist facts till the point when facts become lies, or how some people love to exaggerate things till the point where things get blown out of proportion. Maybe these people love to be the "spoilers", you know the kind that likes to spoil things for others, or they get a kick out of conveying gossip to someone else. Or these people just like to be in the heat of matters. It's like when you see your friend's girlfriend talking to a guy, they look like they are enjoying their conversation, both of them are laughing, and then you go back to your friend and report that you just saw his girlfriend flirting with another guy. A friend of mine, who works part-time with me, was put into this situation recently, and let me just say this, not everyone is a big fucking flirt. My friend is now actually working these few extra days because she didnt want to go broke in Feb, having to buy her boyfriend a Valentine's day and birthday present. It's not easy for her, but she's doing it. And this is the kind of shit she gets. Being thrown into something that she wasnt even sure what it was that she did wrong.

Anyway, heard a song sometime back which I love but I'm listening to it now again. This is the clearest version I can get from youtube, so do take a moment to enjoy :)

Rivermaya- You'll Be Safe Here


Close your eyes
Dry your tears
Cause when nothing seems clear
You'll be safe here
............................................................

When the light disappears
And when this world's insincere
You'll be safe here
When nobody hears you scream
I'll scream with you
You'll be safe here

What a beautiful song.. so filled with soul and passion.. I wish I could find a place where I'll feel safe.. Or that someone to keep me safe..

School

School has officially started. Feeling freaking stressed from looking at the notes and books I have to go through.. I used to dread the journey to school, because its a bloody long trip for me.. But I'm grateful for all the help my lecturers and the school has given me when I'm struggling, and believe me, compared to the poly students who have had 3 years of computing background and the china and indian scholars, when I said struggling, I really mean struggling. I remembered the times when I got so frustrated when I couldnt figured out how to do my programming assignments or the times when my program just couldnt bloody run even though I spent days coding it. And I used to envy the arts students whose biggest concern was not doing enough research for their reports. I still do. And so now I think, I would rather be taking this long journey than not taking it at all..

Anyway, enough about school. Have started listening to Jay Chou quite recently. I have a confession to make. I never really like Jay Chou. Always thought he was just an overrated singer who just mumbles his lyrics lol.. The times spent listening to his songs with a certain someone have certainly grown on me :) Its too soon to tell anything, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one.

I'm gonna start studying now.. What a geek..

2007 Here I Come!

My first entry for the new year 2007! So much has happened.. Threw py her farewell party, with a nice dinner at Swensens, followed by a night at DXO. Just sent her off at the airport today :( py if you're reading this, just wanna let you know you will be missed and please take care of yourself.. She's the one person I can count on to listen to me in the middle of the night to gossip or bitch about sucky guys and bitches, the one who I can always call at anytime to chill with me at our favourite hang-out places, the one there for me during all my ups and downs... What will one do without such a fantastic friend?

Py is loving her "free" firehouse at Swensens!

The 3 hotties

At the airport

On to other things.. My resolutions for 2007.. That's right people, you are probably sick of hearing this word, but nevertheless, I would like to set some things straight..

1. Put my studies before all things. Sorry friends..
   
2. Stop splurging on clothes and shoes and bags. Time to save.
   
3. Never be taken in by sweet talk from a guy. Actions prove louder than words.
   
4. Never be too dependent on a guy, be it in terms of money or emotional support. I will never depend on a guy to sustain my standard of living nor will my life fall apart if he turns out to be an ass.
5. Give a guy only what he deserves.
6. Put myself on a strict diet. That means cutting down on greasy food and loading up on the healthy stuff :(

I'll end this entry by wishing everyone a great 2007 and hopefully this year will be a better year for all of us!
