things have been good lately
the party 2 days ago went well and there was way too much food..
but hey, at least that's better than having too little food!
headed down to the old changi hospital after dinner and loads of guitar playing and coaching at the new flat
16th year of my life, i have not yet seen a real ghoul.
8 of us went and we only had 2 small torches and 3 candles (candles ?)
it is an irony because the wild dogs we bumped into were much scarier than what we hoped to see....
man.. i don't think i have ever been that terrified in my whole life!
there were flights of stairs we went down, thinking that they were going to lead to the basement of that building and instead, they led us out into the open road.
took a few pictures there (.....) and then tada
we saw the dogs and they barked like nobody's business we screamed then scrambled back up the stairs almost had to climb on each other to get away because everybody was moving too slowly and the last thing on our mind was where to hide ourselves.........
luckily the dogs did not give full chase. :P
it's hilarious, just thinking about the incident.
by the time we finished *touring* the unlocked buildings it was already 4 in the morning
took a cab home and we were still game for that hut near my place (in punggol)
there was also nothing in there. just space.
and uh, pillars.
the rooms were super spacious though! and they had a building on itself which was the cooking area.
oh well
it was all insanely fun. Ü

or are you leaving me?
do you believe in me.. or are you leaving me
i thought i was columbus

and i always ate my friends along the way
but don't ask about the reasons
nor reason with my aims
the closer you'll appear.... the less i'll say.
do you believe in me? or are you leaving me
do you believe in me.. or are you leaving me.
silent fool.
but give me time and i might prove
i could do anything i choose.
i'm andy cole's tortured soul lost out again in front of goal

i painted the back of my hp cover
can't wait to get my hands on the canvas after os
some adults are just so narrow minded
try discussing issues with them
they give you one whole chapter of Why Your Point Of View Is Not Right
and one whole book of The Whys and Hows Of My Point Of View
say it is pointless for the discussion to go on
they take insult to that.
safeguard me from falling into the gripping clutches of adulthoodmindedness

Posted by olivia at 4:41:00 PM
went for a run
it was really something for a change
cold fresh air against face and breathing magnified in the silence
a sudden blur of trees branches reaching in and out of the realm
yep it was that serene.
now that i've gotten past the stage of dragging myself out of bed
it's gonna be difficult not to create a habit outta this
i think i'm ready to prepare for school now
actually i was supposed to be revising for my physix paper but i thought
ah what the heck
how does one study with beaddds of perspiration running down the forehead? :P
wow bad karma

13 more days
this is all too soon.....
when tomorrow comes i will think back and muse
Wow and to think i was 16 yesterday.
how is that possible?
how can that be possible
why, i cannot even imagine not being 16
and now to imagine myself thinking back and saying wow i was 16?
time is running out
soon i will be 16
then 20. 25. 30. 35. NOOoooooooooooooo..................
is it just death i am afraid of?
doesn't feel like it
sure i complain and whine to myself now and then
about how sucky things are
i love life
so many things to do so little time
i have big big dreams
and then questions of why how and what come flooding into the head
yet again.
is that why we are all here?
to look for the answers
what if i never find answers to all of my questions
what's the point then?
of living
what is it?
tell me
.
what happens to people who never got to fulfil dreams they held on so very tightly
dreams that saw them through life
and this brings tears to my eyes

these days i head home straight after school. no more long hours at burger king and wasting afternoons away... no more trying to decide how to spend time. it's time we hunt to spend ever since term 2 started.
yup that's how hectic our schedules are.
eh no. not hectic. wrong word.
we don't find excitement in work and revision. (duh)
prelims start next week and i've vowed again not to stray from my work.
gotta concentrate! and be consistent! and study! study! study! study! study! study! study!
reached home early today and felt super tired
plus the strain i feel in my right thigh and the aches of the lower back uh. the bruises i see on my knees and shins and elbow make me really wonder what i see in skating
closer friends in school all know that look on my face everytime i arrive
they know when i've been skating and when i have not been heh.
is this really a passion or am i just trying to prove myself?
that i will not give it all up when disruption tries its luck
of course i'd like to think of it not as the latter but i am still not sure.
kean told me about feeling aches in his joints
a sign of getting old he said
or is it just the skating (and falling ?) he has done?
*shrug*
but he is only 22.
i thought about something new today
while i was just sitting down on the bed after tossing bag on the ground.
do people only reflect after a year has gone by?
...'reflection of my past year'
then comes
...'new year resolutions'
where did all these come from? certainly it doesn't mean reflection can only be done after a year has passed.
how about doing it at the end of everyday? or everytime we take a bath
i don't know but i think my thoughts become clearer (or cleaner!?) whenever i bathe
do people really not bother thinking though these things?
like if they've went against their own conscience, principles or will
whether if they've said something senseless or insensitive that could have made the other person feel like fuck for the rest of the day. and probably made that other person have that notch of hatred for the human race risen as well.
little things like that.
i know I do.
maybe that is why i drift so far sometimes in school
because one question leads to another
her soft oval face, her eyes shone so ever brightly.
filled with tears, looked up to me.
she poised the inevitable question i knew i had to hear one day.
i am not ready to answer.
"tell me, please, would you? tell me if they they even care."
gonna take a bath now
then stop by at borders and check whether if the kurt cobain journal is out
before going to the dentist again
get a change of bands for my braces
and head for sam's place
i'd better hurry!
it smells and feels like a storm is heading right for me

stars...... the ones in the sky.
it's been really cloudy these few nights.
sometimes i look up to the brightest one up there and i wonder whether if anyone else is doing the same as i am.
wonder whether if they look up, also in search for some form of guide in life....
i want a telescope and a glass ceiling.
some comfort love warmth and assurance with cherries would be nice too...
wishful thinking ?
i wonder what other galaxies hold
loads of comfort love warmth and assurance with cherries ?

this simple life led here in this simple city with its simple people is already wearing me down

a terrible need to understand
the need to discover my cause.
hello?

it's been a long (and boring) day
almost 5am now.
zillions of thoughts came and stayed the past 19hours i was awake.
"Being an agent for others he found easy: he felt immune from people anyway, watching them like they were through a window. Lying was easy too, as he didn't understand what truth was beyond what the naked eye took in. A dying animal caught in a gin trap, watched with intense curiousity, was nothing beyond what it was: a dying animal. Sometimes when he looked at these creatures afterwards he realised that they had been damaged, but he had no memory of how they came to be like that. He saw nothing wrong in this behaviour - it was merely an illustration of what he felt others did to him. Just as some people painted or wrote to express themselves, he destroyed things. But it took time to understand that this was his vocation.
The sad messiness of an interrupted life, the graphic evacuation of violent death, the aftermath of murder, all drew him until the scene stuck to his mind like glue, as though he had been waiting all his life to find himself in a room like this and for the discovery of such naked emotion. He needed passionately to know what could have caused this dark spill of violence, in such contrast to the bloodlessness of his own existence. He wanted to understand. He wanted to know the man who had done it and, above all, why.
He knew there was something still missing about himself and waited to discover what it was. He wondered if it mightn't connect with the sense of secrecy that pervaded his childhood, the time spent watching, waiting, hidden. He found what he was looking for in the clouded eye of a tortured man. The dumb, uncomprehending pain of the animals killed was replaced by a terrible sense of recognition in the eye of his beholder that he was facing his nemesis. Now and at the hour of death. He knew then that his destiny was destruction, killing people. Killing was something - the only thing, perhaps - he was very good at when it worked, it was accompanied by an insight so intense that it blinded in its revalation. Now and at the hour of our death. So lonely baby.
Nowhere else to go, except in deeper."

sometimes i can't see beautiful.
i need you to show me secrets
can you breathe?
so i can hear you.
say to me that
you're not leaving.
sad boy flies and comes down broken.
realise that i can't without you
cloudless blue
inside of your eyes.
it's so much clearer when i'm with you.
no where else is where i want to be.
and when you're gone
i'll always know where you are.
just think of me..
and you know that i will
think of you.

THERE IS NO DENIAL.
MUSIC BRINGS US ALL TOGETHER!
was at the alleyway revol. 2 mountbatten cc gig
and there was this very special moment...
when full pledged munkees started playing.
everyone. and i mean EVERYONE! everyone
the skins.. punks, kids with chuck taylors and black rimmed glasses.
started moving to the music!
maybe it was just the ska? refreshed their ears after all the hc and punk?
was sitting right at the back against the wall so i had a good view of the audience
heads were bobbing up and down.. some even started skanking
that did not only make me realise how much i missed ska
i felt this glow from within
maybe all is not lost
maybe there is still hope left for the human race after all.
:)
but i certainly have had enough hc for tonight..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
calv left earlier so chris n i just sat and stared/listened (and napped ?).
felt too much of a bum to get up and join the crowd in moshing.
felt terribly sleepy too.
imagine. hardcore bands + sleepiness? :P
almost impossible..................
but then again
*yawn*
