trés melancholy~



its devastating things have turned out this way. im cynical and ruthless but never have i thought this is how i would be treated. to love is to blind your eyes, deaf your ears, and follow your jackass-of-a-heart and there you have it, smack bang in your face. i admit, i can be pretty cold hearted, but im sure i wasn't always this way. maybe you-n-i only deserve this much but somehow im still filled with rage when you turn a cold shoulder. so human-being of me. and i thought i was somewhat stronger than that. what a laughing stock that is. you can't make me believe you nor could i force you to give more. no fight no end we part ways. what's sad is there isn't even room for friendship anymore. what a disappointment........ sometimes im not even sure what im crying for. just that my chest tightens and my nose blocks n then this sad feeling comes over me then after awhile it gets a little better. except i think we've run into a dead-end. it's called the end.

a dosage of sarcasm per day

Hi, I am not looking at your profile and frankly, i am not one bit interested in whether you are a nice, gentle, or balding near your crutch. So why don't you leave your sadness to share with some other sad girl coz why else would you be scavenging online Mr. IM-SO-SAD.

If not coz of my pure kind heart, i would have gone ahead and replied him this no more no less. (don't laugh, i think i'm actually becoming nicer these days.) You may call me extreme but i am totally against meeting people online. Purely protocol to 21st century reality.

Except i myself, was quite sad today for a sec. I'd suddenly realized it'll be a long while till i'll get to eat green mangoes (I know, it's very sad in both sense). It also saddens me to know for a fact that the next time, if ever, I go to Thailand, not only will i be traveling as a pure tourist, but also roaming the city without 4 wheels. A city i've learned to love for its food and culture turned into detest due to airheaded crack heads who reason with no explanation. fuck me crazy but i still cant get over it. It's such irony that people who seem normal on the outside are the ones who are truly fucked up and yet people who seem kinda *ahem* weird are the real nice ones. *cough.. Soi.. cough cough* HAHA

It's so true. I'm still young & ignorant, vain & gullible.
I think its time to chuck my sixth sense out the window and call it quits.

but still, i do not believe in meeting people online fullstop.

to 'n' back




for more photos of the trip : http://picasaweb.google.com/annie.in.taipei/KoreaJejuIsland#

What seemed like a long time at the time in actual fact flew by just like that.
our brief Korea : Jeju Island break was meant to be a battery reboot trip, but instead turned into a major fatigue boost. you'd think joining a tour would make things easier coz after all, how hard is it when all you have to do is get on n off a bus when told to. easy-peasy! well try doing it that about 15 times in a day, ontop of which only takes no more than 10mins between each stop. could the island be any smaller! *smack my own head* at one point we got off to go to a orange farm, to find that oranges weren't in season so what do u know, all the oranges we saw were fake plastic oranges hung on by the farmers to CREATE a orangy farm scene for visual effects. even the ones on the ground were painted kinda brown to make it seem like they were half rotten. but none-the-less it was a pleasureable trip since we got to eat tons of fresh uni by the sea on the last day. *weeeeeeeee* thankyou to the at-first-weird-n-creepy-but-then-turned-out-to-be-very-nice-gambling-dude in our tour for telling us where to find those "sea-women" who sell fresh uni. (see picture above)

after getting the chance to use some of my drama-tv learnt broken korean, im all the more motivated to learn the language. doubling my all things korean craze. unfortunately no sight of dobboki (rice-cakes) this time, though i did see those microwave packet ones at 7/11 but its just not the same as spotting a dobboki truck by the side of the road, wok full of flaming red sauce covered rice cakes!!! we want the real deal eating it outta those polyester bowls!!!!! guess i'll just have to pray for better luck next time. (i will see u there zandra!! haha) i propose we shall all meet up there! that would be so cool!! (THATS SO COOL!!) also it would be alot cheaper than holland. since we all know that holland is a little out of reach right now. money wise that is. well, if anyones interested, let me know coz im all up for it!! haha

ps. stay safe all my friends, especially those in the kansai area what with the H1N1 hope you guys are still all alive n dandy!
much love~

recently..



things have been kinda hectic what with packing n all, well that n eating, drinking, countless rounds of karaoke-ing, then back to my rubbish dump like apartment for more packing. n it surely seems like it will never end. but all will have to come to an end next wed. sad enough the people who read my blog all know my schedule, but i just wanted to say thanks to everyone... but especially Zandra (my slave, lol =P ) for helping me and putting up with my endless bitching and meaniness. (i know there is no such word, but u know what i mean.. right?) and also i will miss all of you's when i leave, so lets party even harder before i leave and before school starts all over again for the rest of ya!!! hia hia hia (ryuutou's evil laugh) HAHAHA

aru's right...

i should shut up, n get off my ass while im at it too.

i need some kinda new motivation! but unfortunately as sad as it may seem, the only things that motivates me are mainly related to shopping.. when i say shopping im not talking about clothes n stuff but more like when i find a new hobby n think 'oh wow thats so cool!! i wanna do that too!' n out i go to spend a load of money on things that i need to start or complete my new hobby.

like for example. i went through a 'architecture is so cool, i want to design my own house n draw a blueprint (even though i don't know how, but i can just make it up =P ) n since architectural computer softwares are too complicated n impossible to understand i'll just go old school n stick to pencil n paper. so i went out n bought like a nice new A3 drawing book with gridded paper, tracing paper, pencils of all sorts like B, B1, H, H2, F, a lump of knead-able eraser and to top it off a few architecture magazines for inspiration to help get my ideas rolling~

i drew one page, 'my future home'...

the other 299 pages are so far still blank, but you never know. i might pick it up again someday right?

what scares me is, i really remind myself of Becky Brandon nee Bloomwood. She is the narrator of the series of books im reading right now called 'Confessions of a Shopaholic'. im sure most of you have heard of it, n im also pretty sure you can guess what its about n why she reminds me of myself.

i always need some kinda muse. n i think photography was it for awhile, until i went to college n got assignments n even then i was always just spending money to produce my photos. buying equipment i don't necessarily need. but the school work was the push. after i graduated i knew i didn't have the talent n i don't want to spend 3 hours in front of the computer retouching on photoshop. so i gave up n i say shit like 'film is better'... maybe film is better, but film is money. see where im getting at?

im kinda disgusted by myself. so i just sit at home n even though its a little sad but atleast this way im not spending money =P

the wonders of appausable thumbs.

as i click n drag. what took me 2 years to build vanishes out of sight.

deleted. gone.

as i reach over for some tissue i think, 'if only humans could donate their tears'. too many if only's.

useless. move on.

but it all remains in my head. engraved into my brain. burnt a permanent scar.

hide it. cover it.

its no use. nothing changes. not the facts nor my feelings. devouring me alive.

sick n sickening.

where can i find a rubber that erases memory.

as i step onto the single lane..

the sky fell a breeze of snow. paving way to a new road i'm forced to take.
'the end of one road will lead to the start of another', so they say.
the word bleak runs through my head as i sink into my chair. my no legged chair.
the chair thats given me warmth through this winter.
the chair thats patted me on the back, countless of times.
unlike the rest, its never let me down at times when i needed it the most.
thank you to those who have been there for me. n if you haven't, don't feel guilty, i probably wasn't there for you either.

as winter sweeps in again, i say goodbye to romance.

The Differences are...

.. that some people make cakes for their girlfriends, where as others cheat.
its not exactly about been lucky or not, its more the fact that if you give more, you tend to receive less.
why that is, is pretty much self explanatory, but i will elaborate for those idiots who cant see if for themselves. however, note: i am aware some idiots just choose not to understand. its ok, go right ahead, live your selfish carefree life. for one day, when the time comes, you'll regret and it'll be too late.

the human nature of giving, is not chosen by oneself. its also most definitely not something we decide consciously. (not in the right mind atleast.) we give because our inner subconscious transmits a certain urge to do so, due to love. sadly to say, most times we are just under the illusion that we are in love. the idiot who's more "in love" is the one who gets lost in it. therefore, in a relationship, there's always one party who gives more n receives less, hence the other gives less but somehow still ends up receiving more. people who dont go through the hardship of giving, wont understand the misery one goes through waiting for reciprocation. therefore has no idea what its like to be unloved, unappreciated. how one can effect another through the tinniest of gestures. how can anyone understand what another person feels if not having been through the same problem?! people say, 'i understand, i know what u mean', do they REALLY? no! how could u possibly imagine the pain of a man who's been stabbed to the chest with a knife without actually having it done to you? you may think you know. but you dont.

so, back to the story of the idiot who's in love. this idiot chooses to be patient and gives n gives, waits n waits. until one day he/she realises. this has got to stop once n for all! but how do we stop our inner-selves? its like the demon of our souls, have u ever seen the demon lose? the answer is no! so we figure out a solution n adjust to the situation. we come up with a bright new idea. instead of suppressing ourselves, we ask for something in return to feel fair n just. well, thats gotta be the stupidest solution in the world! because nothing thats done outta force means shit! well actually, what i meant to say is, exactly that. it means shit! shit all! so why do we do this to ourselves? what good do we get out of it? here comes the sad part. all we wanted was to just be loved. we needed to feel loved. the same way we would love another. the way we would sacrifice and change ourselves for another. whether its making an extra effort in taking notes on what our loved ones likes to eat, the music they enjoy or make sacrifices to fit to their time n schedules. and before you know it, we've lost ourselves. we're exhausted. we feel small. we doubt love. we've even given up some friendships coz of love. n he says 'no one asked you to do any of those things!!' right. you've got a point, but ...... suddenly its starting to feel like its not worth it anymore. because at this point, this love we have is getting inconvenient for our selfish loved ones. coz we are no longer giving without complaining. we are asking for more than we ever have. we are not who they first met. the very 'generous' human being. from here on, we are pictured as the vicious demons who suck their lives away. the ones who ask for unreasonable things. they just dont see, that what we need is to know that they are also willing to do and give up anything as we would for them. if only they would show us. if only they could understand without all these explanations.

people have told me enough is enough. i've done enough preaching. i've tried hard enough. i've made enough sacrifices. my social conditions aren't exactly THAT bad. not to the point that I have to suffer for reasons I cant put together. except theres too much to let go off, yet not enough to keep going. if only i was bastard enough to just leap into the arms of another man... that would ease some of the pain atleast.

to think, breakup is just a 7 letter word. yet its so hard to do.

Cocosuma : The Source



this could well be the end of my dreams
gave it all i had, now i see it slip away
things are never as close as they seem
we keep turning round n round when we should go straight ahead

did u feel the same when she packed her stuff

everything is gonna be alright..... tonight~

oh i'd like to be on a boat to hawaii
but those four white walls are closing down on me
i had my share of happy time and painful ones
im gonna close my eyes, let it go
