aww dont be sad now :(

well i guess it happens to everybody. the feeling of rejection. it sucks, we know. we all share the familiar lament in life. but do cheer up! (which i think you are quite capable of) i'm sure you can find any cheap thrill to amuse yourself. Haha! :D

Oh and like everybody else, i shall comment on how this post was written. :p

beautifully written. doubtlesly, you're a really wonderful writer. i've always adore the way you convey your feelings into words.

keep writing alright. take care. :)

Hey. Poignantly written. I think at some point of our lives we felt that way, when the door slams at your face. I think we are similar in one aspect, I have always searched for the unconditional love and yes, I want my loved one's world to revolve around me and me alone. i think i am more extreme that you in that case.

but look on the bright side. he stood outside in the stuffy KL air to wait for you.

and although that is a simple gesture, it is one of love. do appreciate what you have, i sometimes really really envy you- all you have, beauty, brains, columbia, etc etc.. (my dad treats me very well, although sometimes i feel unloved anyway... but somehow i don't think you are talking bout your dad XD )

oh, sorry bout leaving a novel as a comment. but lastly, you said "aiming to catch the second train somehow feels a lot better than aiming to catch the first but missing it."

i missed the one of the most important train ride of my life. but despite the tears, i seek solace in knowing that the second will come by, and i can board that one instead. life goes on, so don't stop chasing the train. =)

Dear Su Ann,

The relationship between father and daughter can sometimes be tenuous, and fragile, and fraught with the weight of so many things left unsaid.

And it's always, always the ones closest to you who possess the power to leave the deepest scar. Because, who better to plunge a knife into your heart, than the person you're clasping to it?

I can truly say I speak from experience, and yes, the sting of that initial rejection, that feeling of never being good enough, the constraint that comes from dealing in a love that comes with strings attached, never goes away. Thereafter every door slammed in your face and every no meted out to you, recalls that moment when you first realised that you'll never come first with that person whose approval you most crave.

But Su Ann, it's obvious that your father loves you so very much, and that his love is reciprocated. And that is why you are a more fortunate daughter that I'll ever be =)

I'm touched that you recognize the gesture of him waiting outside.

BTW, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Silver lining and all that. It's all true. Chin up, I've had my fair share of rejection (of all sorts) but it all works out in the end. Take care Su Ann.

as we move along in life, we depart from people we care and probably the ones we love most...

there are also times where we would normally take things for granted without ourself realising... and most often, we're the ones taken for granted too but still there are still things worth our time and effort to maintain.

keep your head high and smile... your smiles are much prettier than your frowns ^_^

it was nice to bump into you time after time again... and finally able to talk to you again at made of honour... (:

I'm sorry to hear that. It's called agape - unconditional love. I think there's only one person in my life that is able to provide me with that kind of love and the official celebration for that person's day is June 15th. ;)

*awwwh* PinkPau.. I feel ya.. been rejected so many times I could hardly remembered how many has it been.. *hugs* Don't feel bad ya.. and mostly don't give up.. I face rejections, outcast-ing, unwanted and more which I'll be heartbroken to mention about it.. However, I guess sometimes we call it fate, but most of the time it is known as LIFE.. All we gotta do, is always hope for the best, don't desert your friends (never! for they might need you), give your best and surely you'll be rewarded somehow.. though I've never seen much reward coming my way, but I ain't gonna give up cause it sure will knock on my door one day! So you shouldn't be sad about it.. Look at things from the brighter side k? *winks*

Here's something for ya..
Click HERE to see my rejections.. Might be able to cheer ya up.. ^^ toodles *boink boink*

My dad waits outside the car because he doesn't want to waste petrol keeping the air-cond running.

Or so he said :)

This is my second favourite post of yours. My favourite, incidentally, is also about your father.

P.S. I don't know if it's appropriate here but I just want to let you know I ripped one of your ball ideas for our college ball. Actually, the theme was already decided weeks ago - Red Carpet, voted by the student council, but I was charged with thinking up an alternative theme which is less generic. I tried to sell them the idea of a Rajputana themed ball (which they shot down cos they have enough of India already). So I gave them your idea of actually giving out real Awards in that Red Carpet themed ball they voted on. They love it. Oh, and they say thanks to you, by the way :)

sigh whenever i read your musings and emo posts it just feels like as though someone else is reading my mind and writing down my thoughts.

nevertheless, i really admire the way you write though. :) i wish you luck and happiness always.

I have to agree with the comment from yang, no.16. I too never have the patience to read a blog post filled with words. I only look out for pictures. be it poser pics or food pics or scenery etc. as long as it is just pics. but when it comes to quaintly.net, i just cant help it but to read. u amaze me. i just love how u play with ur words.

im pretty sure everyone had their fair share of rejections. to those of u who walked out before getting rejected, i salute u. i cant do that. i mean i can but i just dont know how. there was once in my relationship where i can see "the bad day" coming my way. i didnt walk out of it. instead, he walked out on me. and i was hurt terribly, till this very day although it happened approx 2 years, coming to 3 years. i was trying to patch things up but obviously it failed. and everytime i believed i had moved on, he will tell me how much he misses me and all and disappears after that. and this keeps repeating every few months. how am i to move on like this?

this recalls the weary solitude i felt so many a time slumped against those hard-backed seats on a train everywhere it is the same alone traveling with our unbearable selves. but dear pinkpau i hope that u will find comfort at the end of the train ride as the door opens and u are released to seek the people who will open their arms to you and do more for you than you thought they would

been quietly reading your blog for quite some time now. never left comments but absolutely love the way you express yourself without revealing much.

i guess the only place one could even get a remote sense of belonging and unconditional love is family. even then, its not all peaches and cream eh. =(

You never know among all the tired face, they are people that really care for you. Not many of them...that is why they are called gem! Treasure what's around you and you will realized that you only need these few people to move on in life.
