I Can Only Wait
I remember I used to write on my journal everyday. It's a space for me to pour my heart out, without filtering any thoughts. It's my best listener who won't judge.
I remember I started writing my first diary when I was 9 or 10 years old. Mommy bought a little square hard cover diary for my birthday, if I remember correctly. I started writing everyday about daily happenings. Then I started to grow up, and I write mostly when I'm emo.
Looking back at the journal tells me so much about myself.
How much I've changed. How much I've grown.
I'm not sure if it's for better or worse. Not that I've matured much, but I'm certainly not that naive little girl anymore.
Along the way, I've seen many faces.
Many expressions.
Many characters.
Slowly, I've learned to see.
I've learned to understand.
I've learned to appreciate.
I've learned to let go.
Keeping the sweetest memories close to my heart. It keeps me alive.
It keeps me sane.
But how long will it stay close?
Will it be different?
Will I be the same again?

Crossing Out The Checklist
I know I’ve been saying this a lot. But there is a list of things that I need to do/complete.
So called “resolution” that was made early this year on top of some regular items on my usual checklist. Haha.
I think I failed terribly.
Haha.
Except maybe the “going to gym regularly” part...Oh..and the "going to Jap class regularly" part also lah…. But exam is next week and I have not been revising. *shrug* last minute is my middle name.
A pile of new books STILL in the boxes, unwrapped, untouched, unread. note to self: buy wrapper. no wonder my brain is not progressing lately. Aih. Lack of knowledge juice. Boo!
The “go home more often” part was actually a major fail lah… I admit. BUT!!! At least I got spend time with daddy also mah… right? Right? Okay… I need to stop finding excuses. But I don’t want to be independent wor. Ok ok. Be brave. Vince was right. I need to really get out of my comfort zone and brave myself for a war. If not, I’ll be forever like this. Time to set a goal and try to achieve it. Only then he can stop saying that I have 小女人 attitude problem. Yea.. I admit sometimes I’m too desperate to be a 小女人 that I forget everything else. (Aiyah.. nobody will understand this lah…. Just let me rant ok?)
Quitting cigarette is also another issue that’s been ongoing for few years. And lately, I realized that in order to speed up the quitting part, I have to sacrifice my coffee. SACRIFYING MY COFFEE is a MAJOR NO! Boo! :( I need to think of another solution. Hmm.
I’ve always mentioned that I need to be more focused.
But the more I wanted to focus, the more I go astray.
Something just gotta happen and make me lose my mind.
Something just have to happen.
Maybe my focus ring spoiled already.
Pfft.

Can Angels Have Devil's Horn?
Been sitting on the fence for too long.
It hurts to know they don’t appreciate.
I guess sometimes, you just need a dash of selfishness to solve problems.
Being selfless doesn’t mean being right.
Being diplomatic doesn’t solve anything.
It’ll only make matters worse.
Time to step down from that fence and have some freedom.
Been good for too long. Time to let the horns out.

Are You Really You?
Today, I’ve learned that in order to be happy, the first thing you need to do is be yourself.
We’re living in a world full of mysteries.
Full of lies.
Full of redundancies.
Full of controversies.
Full of hypocrites.
No matter what you do or how you do it, there will be people criticizing. There will be people who disagree.
Many times, we tend to sway from our own direction. We end up trying to please everyone by doing what deemed “right”.
We end up flocking with the “majority” just because we don’t want to be a cast-out.
We end up being one of them.
No self judgment.
No self confidence.
No sense of belonging.
No independence.
Because we rely too much on what others think of us.
Because we’re too mindful of how others see us.
We’re pressured to blend in.
We tend to forget who we are. We lose ourselves. We lose our identity.
We lose our happiness trying to make others happy.
So, before it starts killing you, get out of the stereotypical perspective.
Find your soul. Be yourself the way you are. Not the way others want you to.

Verbal Diarrhea.
1. Took a few days off last week to solve some family matters. FTS. Nothing’s gonna change and I’m tired of all this crap. It’s sickening. It’s all nonsense.
2. I’ve learned that you have to be strong-willed, be calm and think straight when everybody else around you is nervous.
3. Going back to work after a week off is the worst thing ever at the moment. I wish today is a weekend.
4. My office just subscribed to UNIFI and it doesn’t make any difference. Still. Damn. Slow.
5. I need to work harder to earn more money. Aih. A never ending problem of mine.
6. I finally found the discountinued perfume that I was looking for the longest time. The feeling is perhaps like discovering a hidden treasure.
7. Yea. This is actually a ranting emo dunno-what post.

9. Too many things happening. Actually one major one is enough for me to grow plenty of white hair and permanent wrinkled forehead.
10. Nobody can help you if you’re not willing to help yourself.
11. Sudden crave for Japanese food again.
12. My laptop is going bonkers.
13. Dear John movie is super disappointed. I hope the book is better.. gonna start reading it soon.
14. That reminds me of the 30+ books that I have not touch since I bought it… cos I haven’t wrap it lah..
15. Random habit of mine.. I cannot read books that I haven’t wrapped. Just feels weird.
16. I’m watching this TVB drama, “Yes Sir, Sorry Sir” and I super HATE the main actor’s uncle and his family. Damn stupid I tell you! Where got such people wan!! Feel like slapping them. Super HATE.
17. I really wanna go holiday somewhere.
18. Ohhh… Kenny proposed to Peks! Congrats you two!
19. I finally permed my hair. This time, dad got it right. Super <3 !!! But I need to at least wear a bit of make up to match my hair. Boo!
20. Went to Hennessy Artistry party at Sunway Opera last weekend.
21. Can’t wait for the dress that I bought from ASOS!!!
22. Actually I’m damn emo, angry, frust, and negative aura all around me now.

Fifthnniversary.
A delayed fifthnniversary thoughts.
Without realizing, five years passed. When I started going out with Smelly, I’ve never thought that we’ll last this long. Considering my age when I met him and especially my personality, it’s amazing how we can preserve this relationship to where we are now.
Things progressed rather smoothly, despite his usual discontentment about my body size and almost out-of-control credit card debts, and my never-ending annoyance with his obsession with gaming and lack of sensitivity towards my feelings. I guess that’s how things are supposed to work.
I used to think that we’re not a normal couple. But after listening to so many relationship stories from friends, I felt blessed and grateful for what I have. One can never be too greedy and keep wishing for the impossible, yet cannot be too contented with what we have. So I guess everything needs balance.

Shifting Priorities
Two more Fridays before the New Year begins. Scary how time flies. As usual, everything seemed so blurry. Everything happened so fast, like nothing happens before. Another year passed without a sense of achievement. I know by saying that, it shows how weak I am. How little confidence I have. How suck I am in juggling priorities. How lazy. How naïve. Very immature in some ways.
Perhaps what they say is true. When you reach certain age, your priorities shift. What was important might mean nothing now. What was precious might be useless. What deemed insignificant might be the key to success. What seems materialistic became realistic. It became necessity. It became priority. It became the battery of life.
Every year around this time, I will reflect at the past. I think of all the things that happened and did not. The things that I encountered and missed. People that I met and friends that I’ve lost. Experiences that I gained, judgments and decisions that I’ve made, wrong or right. Tears that I’ve shed, happy or sad. Words that came out, thoughtful or hurtful. Screams that were made, angry or excited.
I realized that I learn something new every day. About things that are significant or petty… people around me, people that I love, and people that I loathe… about myself, my emotions, my priorities…
It almost always end up with me being so confused and frustrated at one point, and then the so called problems /issues suddenly don’t seems to be a problem/issue at all… it’s like magic… but I believe it’s just PMS… pfft.
Lately, I’ve concluded that my brain stop progressing. It’s stagnant. I felt wasted… I don’t know… maybe it’s the people around me. By people, I really do actually mean colleagues. I felt that everybody is so comfortable of their (old) way of doing things and their level of acceptance towards new ideas/ ways is super low, or rather selective. By everybody, I do actually mean bosses… So I believe no matter how much effort I invest in whatever I do, the result is never like what I imagined. I felt stupid and limited, yet I cannot do anything about it because it’s just the way they are. But if I don’t do anything about it, I’m afraid that they will think that I’m stupid. Damn conflict. I’m just afraid that I’ll slowly morph into what they are.
Sigh.

Melancholy Makes A Better Soul.
Many times, we keep reminding ourselves to be sane. To stay focused. To think what is right and what is not. To agree with the majority, because it seems like the right thing to do. To flock with the same kind, just so we wouldn’t feel left out. To follow the leader that is supposed to give good guidance. To listen to people around us, because we don’t trust our own judgments. To nod in amusement, just to acknowledge them our existence.
Many times, we do all of the above just to blend in. Because we all think that it will make us feel better. Because we thought we feel more secured. Because we think that it makes us more human. We think that it is the norm. We think that it is how it works.
But have we ever spent one second, to think otherwise?
It is okay to think and act differently. At the end of the day, our own happiness does not belong to someone else.
It is okay to be alone sometimes. Nothing wrong about getting a breather out of the craziness. It is not written in the handbook of life that we have to follow others to shine.
It is alright to make mistakes. To blame on the bad genes. To blame on others. To blame on ourselves. To be naïve. To make excuses not to believe. Because stupidity lives in each and every human being.
It is okay to be emotional. To be sad. To be angry. And most importantly, to be able to shed a tear of sorrow.
Because that, makes us more human.
