  • sheon · 2 years ago
    YET another weekend in singapore! :)

    i am so sick of traveling already! i even find myself hesitating to go back home in KL nowadays..... but, your circumstance is different, you have somebody to go 'home' to... i miss that feeling... ;(
  • sheon · 2 years ago

    hedonism is oh so tempting. i think i am a bit of a hedonist, really.

    I want a plastic plant that grows flowers. Haha... It costs about Rm 100 in HKIA. =((

    Well, I ALWAYS FEEL JEALOUS OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE SO MUCH RELAXED. Things start to cross my head, telling me that why can they do it and be carefree and why am I such an obstinate person who always waddle my way to the top, spending my teenage years of nothing but to score all As for my exams?

    But it always hits me in the end. The talk about the future.

    I know how you feel dear.
  • Michael · 2 years ago
    just relaxxxx. u gt martian mah...muahahahaha...thats guaranteed a bright future lol
  • kennysia · 2 years ago
    Why your blog entries always seem so random but always give me that warm fuzzy feeling in the end?

    And no, you're not a cry baby lah. I've seen worse. ;)
  • jimmy · 2 years ago
    pinkpau, u should start writing lyrics and penning songs, which i know both are the same thing.
  • susannah · 2 years ago
    why didn't u want to share your strawberry cheesecake with him?

    i think i might know the answer, because i never feel like sharing MY cheesecakes with anyone too, but just in case you had your own reason.... i wanna know it.
  • foreverjas · 2 years ago
    i'm definately a cry baby. and i dunno why i cant stop my tears from flowing. and i dun wanna stress so much bout college and uni. its jz .. so hard. haiz. quarreled with him today, both crying in the car, jz bcuz of some stupid library books that i insist on returning today, but he said not today. sigh. why.
    reading ya blog makes me feel how much love meant to me. at that moment, i was thinkin of will i be better off without him. i was so angry. but i love him. T.T
  • TheRealAnonymous · 2 years ago
    Eh... long time never hear from you man! Dunno where you disappear to also... where u now ar? How're things ar? When wanna go out again ar? How come our transformers movie session tak jadi ar? =p How come till NOW you still haven't sent me the Simpsons photos arr?

    Anywayz, comment regarding your posting:
    we all have aims for the future... but it doesn't mean you can't enjoy the journey along the way. The journey plays an important role as to how u grow as a person as you reach your target. =p
    Do wat you gotta do to achieve ur goals, just don't forget to be yourself while doing it... and occasionally stop to smell the flowers along the way. =)

    Chill.. It's only college exams anyway, buy howver it's a good thing too it shows you pay responsibility to your parents. Have fun, things will be over soon =)
  • Artificially Timtam · 2 years ago
    commitment to the future is a good thing. it is after all the journey that old wise dead men talk about in their very quotable quotes.

    just don't get caught in the rat race. do what you want because it means something to you not because it's the 'asian' thing to do. AND remember the little things in life too like lemon cupcakes or staring creep at corean boys reading harry potter :P
  • Mads · 2 years ago
    You'll appreciate all what you're doing right now in a few year's time. At least now you have an idea of where you're headed... College, wherever that may be. But come the end of college, you're out in the open not knowing what you're supposed to do.
  • naz · 2 years ago
    haha. that's how i feel. but it feels good when you score really high marks. you know where all that patience and frustration went to.

    Hang in there Pinkpau! The SATs and college apps are stressful for everyone so don't worry. You're far from the only one that is worried about how they'll do on the tests and which school they're going to end up at.

    I don't know if it'll help any but my personal philosophy is to put in my best effort and then not worry about the result. It helped me get through the competitive gauntlet that was law school. I'm sure you will be happy wherever you go. So don't worry too much and you'll be fine.
  • Jeff from LA · 2 years ago
    Of course, I'm not saying in any way that it is easy to stop worrying. The fact that you care so much is one of the things that has made you into such a good student.

    once my best friend told me that it's okay to cry. as long as it's not more than 5 minutes cos then it's just self-pity. it sounds mean but it does make me tougher somehow when i do cry and resolve to caffeine or her for comfort instead.

    and i agree with jimmy. your braindust would come up with some pretty good tunes.

    g'luck with the tests. =)
  • Charlie · 2 years ago
    Good luck for your SATs! I can't really think of any other comforting stuff to say because I don't know you well enough to go "don't worry la you'll be fine" without sounding like a bodoh haha. So all the best!

    (That Toxic Girl album is bloody bloody good stuff)
  • Charlie · 2 years ago
    Album pulak. Single. Sorry : P
  • Christine Wong · 2 years ago
    Hmm...when you say you are staring at the plastic plant, do you mean the "tomy" one, cause i bought one too, haha. It is very cute.
  • Nick · 2 years ago
    love your writing. I've got to start using bombastic words to describe everything i do now. Hopefully life will be more interesting.

  • sheon · 2 years ago
    i dread the journey...not the destination. most of my loves are in kl! :) it's the freaking 5hours torment on the bus i cant stand! cant sleep properly, cant read properly, cant eat properly, cant do anything properly..... then have that anxiety about having to go to the loo and all......

    fyi: i was born kl, grew up in alor star but spent all hols in kl, moved to kl for studies and subsequently work there, now posted to penang and alor star for project. :)
  • pinkpau · 2 years ago
    michael : what makes u think i like that kind of lifestyle?

    sheon : haha i know what u mean abt the bus thing. but lately i've grown accustomed to it, so doing some work on the laptop (my bus has plugpoints!!!!111) and reading has gotten easier. how long is your penang/alor star project?
