Lessons learnt
If you open your eyes and heart, one realises that there are a million things to learn.....
Some seem so insignificant that they dont seem like lessons.....but they are!
What i learnt today:
*Always read the fine print in any document.
* Never expect others to pity you, becuase theyhave their own problems too.....
* sometimes, you just have to do it......and do it with a smile, or you forfiet a happy experience. (mind over body)
FIghto- Oh!!!
with all the assignments......i just have to live through this week and life will be better, and i can live easy......
this week is packed.....
but..........忍一忍就会过去了。
笑一笑, 没什么事情过不了。
--------------------------------------------------------------
with every failed move, stand up and try again, aiming for perfection.
face it with determination and readiness in the eyes, because the audience can tell.
dicipline is one of the keys..........................
that's dance.............
and that's life.......

过一天算一天
但老师,至少我还是喜欢华文,还是觉得它是一个充满情感的优美语言。
不知为什么, 总觉得有些情感用华文描绘出来总是比较动人, 总是比较有意思。
想想看, 一连串英文字往往能以华文的四个字表达出来。。。妙。
最近,学校功课一个接一个, 感觉上好像是无法停息的海浪,一直往岸上冲。
我每个星期还要练舞两次。(但练舞是个非常快乐的时光,所以无所谓为啦!)
但累还是会的嘛。。。
只能过一天算一天。。。。
我一向来。。。。不太有时间观念。。。
所以。。。。在我应该练日文的时候,在我应该赶功课的时候。。。
惭愧的。。。我往往会被网路上的偶像剧给迷惑。
昨天刚看完微笑Pasta...虽然是去年早已播放的戏, 但是还是非常喜欢!!
也让我觉得,嘿!张栋梁还蛮不错嘛!Cyndi 也让我觉得,嘿!你这样才对嘛!just the right amount of cuteness....
记得当时张栋梁刚出道的时候,我看着他的封面照, 我心里想:这个摄影师真是够烂,怎么把他拍得黑眼圈那么明显?害这个新人看起来那么疲惫。他的歌声是委婉动听的, 都是摄影师啦。。所以,我那个时候就并没有觉得他是一个好看的人,只是平平凡凡而已。
谁知到,他为了讲华语运动而来访我的中学, 我看到他本人。。。。
才发现。。。。。他是好看的啊。。。
他穿得很casual, 头上带这个baseball cap, 但我记得。。一旦他笑了起来。。。
那个笑容是有足于力量来照亮全场的观众!
看了微笑pasta......我确实是成为他的粉丝了!因为。。。。他平凡,但久了。。he grows on you...
okay...or maybe its just me k??? HAHAX!
***i even joined his official portal as a member***
----〉但加入的一个重点是跟他说生日快乐啦。。。
i m inspired though......
最近有试着作词编曲。。。
但都是不是很见的人的啦。。。。
刚刚才从外婆口中得知,在外公年轻的时候, 他的舞艺非凡, 跳起Tango全场会目不转睛。
我家的艺术细胞是不是各代相传?我爸妈歌唱跳舞是还好,但他们并没有对艺术有像火一般在烧的热情。 反而我和弟弟 love the arts......
maybe we were born for the stage and didnt know it.
***华文真的不容易 type ahhhh!!****
今晚就到此为止吧。

looking back
its abit hair raising, reading about things that have happened in my life and remembering; that each entry is like a milestone.
i look back and realise its been 2 years since i said goodbye to XinMin.
Alot of my friends in JC are taking their As now and its already drawing to an end.
Once in awhile, it dawns on me that i can be part of them right now, antogonising over the big As.
It is not all the time that i feel this way, but i can't deny the fact that my going into early childhood was because i was
1.running away from JC, from stress which i know i probably would be able to manage if i wasnt that afraid to try.
2. Too afraid to choose something that i like, like design, dance, mass comm, fine art or theater. I could have gotten into most of the above said courses, but i felt that i was obliged to choose something that my father could accept as a suitable sustainable rice bowl filler for my future. ( if not how the hell will i be able to convince him to let me run away, no make it sprint away, from JC?)
3. Too afraid to die is science courses, like BioMed, which i totally started to have an inkling of regret when i had certain sudden aspirations to be a neuro surgeon/ oncologist/ paedeatrician.
I know my gal pals in JC would tell me to stop being crazy as i have been having a better academic life doing something useful and enjoyable.
I love the kids i work with. I really dont mind teaching them and spending time with them and caring for them. I really like children.
The problem lies in me having too many interests and things that i know i can be good at if i put my heart to it.
I mean look at me.........
I like the arts, singing, dancing, painting, litreture, theater, music, languages.......
i know i can do science if i want to.............(its the want or not issue here)
I sometimes think of being a lawyer, a dancer, a painter, an artiste, a Bussiness Exec, a therepist, a paediatrician, a dermatologist, an oncologist, a neurosurgeon, a nurse, a violinist, a CEO, a fashion designer, a make-up artisit, an interior decorater, a journalist, an author, a translator, a play therepist, a child life support staff in the hospital, a consuellor, setting up a art based preschool........................
besides being a good teacher..............or supervisor/principal etc.
i cant be all at the same time can i???
hahac.
someone once wrote a comment for me on my blog with regards to one of my first few but quite emo posts....
he / she said that it is the choices that we make that makes things what they are...
which one then is my calling????
only time will tell....................
Teaching Nervosia
If there ever were such a phrase/ medical terminology, that is my defination.
I feel so unprepared for teaching.
Will i tell a good story?
WHat will the field supervisor think?
What kind of lesson is suitable??
Will i finish my assignments in time?
WIll i write a good lesson plan?
WIll the kids listen to me?
i guess its all due to a slight phobia of things screwing up.
i still havent heard from my field supervisor.
i hope to soon!!
so that i know when to plan my lessons for and how much time i have.
wish me luck!

arts intoxication
we got a piano on deepavali and these days, i have been returning home to the sounds of real good music, quodos to my little brother who is attemping the 20page Moonlight Sonata (this guy doesnt even have a grade in music to speak of but man, can he play) and other random pieces like Secrets and all time favourites like Love Story, Fur Elise, Maraige DeAmour and more.
The feeling of coming home to such beautiful devine music just makes me feel so happy=)
Looking at my lil'bro's fingers fly over the piano keys sometimes makes me feel like such a talentless bum. hahax!
but that is not just it,
all along, my eyes grow bigger when i see people dance ( okay, granted. since my eyes are small, lets just say grow a teeny weeny bit wider okay?=)), like when i saw Paso doble and ballroom dances or other emotion evoking dances. I like the fire burning in the dancers eyes, the emotion pulsating in their every move.
and i want to dance when i hear a "dancable" track.=) ( but i will look crazy if i were or public transport so i resort to tapping my fingers/ feet or walking to the beat)
therefore i am SUPER ELATED that dance practices at Spiko has started=)
its grueling, tiring and man does my leg hurt.
However, it is also spell-binding and intriguing and teaches hell lot of perserverence.
i LOVE it with a capital L!
so much so i dont want practices to end even though i am bone tired....
i love the way how each dancer's movement flows together. There is just this beautiful fluid flow, like a transfer of something magical and i am beginning to feel it. =) I sure dont want it to stop.
i look foward to it so much that i wish i were in art school=P hahax.
( oh yea! run away from your course and dance everyday!)

18
(so stop thinking i am 20=P)
Yeap. My 18th birthday just passed in blur. A blur that made me feel loved by the people around me and appreciative of what they have done for me. They have made it a blast, according to my dictionary.
I got treated to dinner by Ivy on my birthday eve.
On the actual day, I went out to celebrate by having a lunch and a K-box session with Mae , JingYi and tedsi. Thanks peeps for making it memorable even though we met lousy service that day=) and...........you all were geniuses, you all got the secret recipe banana chocolate cake to stand upright when it was packed flat, and even managed to stick a birthday candle on it!!!!! and thanks for the gorgeous gift peeps=)
There after it was the weekly friday chanting at PC and there, i recieved wishes from numerous people, a special gift=), and a VERY VERY LOUD birthday song right at PC's doorstep that made me tomato red in the face( i think so laa, i can't see myself you know)....
oh, and not to forget the well wishes from my darling friends from secondary school who couldnt meet me, havnt seen me in ages and yet still remembered. Hugs to everyone out there=))
and then came the problem..............after friday chanting , it was a tad too late to get cake...........
but when i opened the door to my home, there was my sweet,adorable, crazy brother trying to bake one for me=))
thats how it looks like=)) cool eh??? i am being called a noob (aka idiot who duznt know *insert subject**) and given a cake that has the main ingredient: eggs, threfore making it a JiDanGao=PP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ooooo yeAh!
i told my bro to put the word "ass" next year. hahahax!
then came the next problem..................
no birthday candle.
we took a old unsued white candle, stuck it on a paper cupcake case and put it beside the cake=) genius!
=PpP
it isnt the most perfect of birthdays, with a noob labled ji dan gao and all, but man i like it!
and for more reasons than this............................
I crown my 18th the best birthday ever since my brain could decipher what the word birthday means=)
here's the gifts=))
i just realised the colour combi is nice. hahax!

Mom's birthday=)
It was however, a very scaled down affair compared to the past, where my brother and I being the kids that we were decorated the whole house. I remember a time when we were still in lower primary, the both of us used crepe paper and made a colourful paper curtain just after the main door of our old flat in Ang Mo Kio. There was also a time, in upper primary, the year we shifted to our current home , where we folded numerous paper cranes and decorated the path outside her bedroom door using it and made out the words Happy Birthday. See, told you this year was so...scaled down. heh.
but she is happy all the same=)
but....................it just reminds me that hey, it HAS been almost 18 years since she and I met in this world, since she first cuddled me, and she is now half a century old. Had i lost her to cancer 3 years ago, i wonder what kind of life i would be leading today? It is beautiful isnt it? That life itself carves out so many stories of hope, courage, sacrifice and love?
Everyone has a story to tell.....if only there were enough people who learnt the true art of listening with their souls.
it also made me rather aware that there could have been another 5 year old running around, possibly making my brother and I buy rainbow coloured streamers and a cartoon cake for mom. What would this child look like? I sometimes wonder. Would he/she inherit the dark brown stright hair from mom just like my brother and I? Would our eyes be the same? Would he/she try to outshine his/her brother and sister by having thicker lips than me or a cheekier smile than my brother? Oh i do wonder....
Yet these things make me realise that in all these years, my mother has taught me more things than i know.
She has taught me courage in times of adversity and strength, the zeal to stand up and realise our mistakes and move on but never forgetting the lesson.
She has taught me to cherish life and each child, every heartbeat of it.
I may not be the most courageous, nor the nicest or kindest.
But i know for one thing that I will learn from and write my own story in life.
And i also want to learn of the stories of people all over........
Heart warming stories, that speak the truth of everyday life.
Happy Birthday Mom=)

The Tapestry
Each moment a life somewhere withers.
For them some cry alittle,
Others pain for long
Lost at the crossroads
Fearing that both choices are wrong.
Yet every moment
A thread each person adds
To a piece of cloth that will record
the colours of their life.
Some are big
for the years spent weaving was long.
Others are smaller
but yet beautiful as well.
Some are vibrant,
Others tainted with black and grey.
But each one connects with another
to create a beautiful tapestry of Life to display.
Weave your story
and even if others stop short of yours
Remember them, cherish them
and treasure your chance that you can weave for longer.
Treasure them, cherish them
And always know.......
that as the sands of time shift hither and tither
while the many lives wither
there are new ones that start weaving
and take a place of their own
in the tapestry of Life.

looking back
i could have died that day..........
it was the day before the day i watched the phantom of the opera.......
i was crossing the zebra crossing near my house........and spied from the corner of my eye that a car was coming...but.....it was too far away....so i instinctively stepped foward........
i looked left............
in a matter of seconds.....i saw a taxi screech to a halt with my very eyes.........
just inches away from my left leg.....
any nearer.....i could have been hit......
and obviously.....for it to come so fast...it most probably was speeding.......
therefore, if you do the equation, that would mean a darn huge impact that would wound me seriously................
which in turn equates to....................no going home.....no phantom of the opera......... and most importantly...........no seeing gohonzon again.......
at that moment...i felt so protected by the gohonzon............
i mean................my friends could have been at my wake instead of watching the phantom of the opera with me the next day or doing their own stuff at home......................
okok...i know this is albiet an extreamist kind of view.....
but hey..........it could have happened...right???
my legs wobbled alittle as i walked home....and my heart thudded like crazy..........
when i finally arrived home and knelt down to sansho infront of the gohonzon...........
i my heart..........i was like........"yokatta ne"
thus..................i feel that i am still here today...because there is something i must do..........
a mission i must accomplish..................

My first time teaching.....
theory always seems so easy....
but truth to be told...it sure isnt...
i had to implement an art lesson today. The lesson was about tyre printing with paint and paper, you know, where one uses the wheels of toy cars , dips its wheels into paint and roll it on paper? yea...like that.
sounds simple???
oh no....hahax
teaching is never easy i guess=P
for one thing, the kids were too interested with what was in my bag of cars compared to the song that i was singing as a tuning-in activity for them to pull their attention to the task at hand.
also, while they rolled the cars on the paper, they actually worked up stored energy (for the car was a wind up toy) in the toy car and, when they lifted it off the paper, the wheel spun on its own in a frenzy, sending sprays of paint flying in all directions. Thankfully, the sprays were small ones though the children got them in their hair and on their faces. Lucky they wore their art aprons. whew!
at first, they did not seem very used to the idea of paint all over them, and kinda "sa jiao-ed" for someone to clean them up the first time the paints flew, however, i made it seem like it was nothing and soon they were enjoying the exprience, squealing in joy when the paint got on them. they enjoyed it and so did i, though i never really got to close my lesson properly( gotta work on classroom management...die....). Indulge in the mess! hahax...that makes it all fun.=)
will jiayou for the next one...........
very soon, i will have to be observed by my feild mentor for my teaching skills and all...................

and we are all trying to better or practice and faith in gohonzon...together.....
and.......we are much much closer than before....now a days......i can talk to daddy...without going into this great big fight most of the time....in the past.....this used to be as rare as a blue moon......
and......i hug mommy more now....as well as daddy=)

DBSG_Star King 4/7 [ENG SUB]
this is the variety show that i talked about in my previous post! where the miniature DBSK and DBSK appeared together=)) it is SOOOO CUTE!!! watch people watch! the kids are SOOOOO adorable!!!! (will post my fave part of this segment later-the Xiah and his mini part) wee!
phone resuscitation in process........
first, my phone couldnt allow me to hear what the other party is saying at times for almost 1/2 a year.......
and now...................................................................
i think the connection between the screen and the main "brain" of the phone has been terminated.....rahhhhhhhhz....boo!!!!!........
my phone's "central nervous system" has broken down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
darn....
its just so weird......because, at first.....the keypad was unable to type anything on the screen.....then......the screen blacked out.........
later, upon reaching home, my lil'bro checked it....and realised that you can make calls with it still!!!!!!!!!!
just that the screen is blacked out....................................................................
i am thinking of going down to the service center right NOW!!!! and asking them to quote me the price of servicing my phone.....if it is toooo "boh hua"...................
i will just heck and "open my eyes big big"(yea right...how big can they get???heh.) and plead for papa's and mama's help in getting a new one...................................
in the mean time.....................
i got to stick to dad&mine&didi's old phone (the phone was passed down in that order)...........
a sony erricson t610..........
it's WAYYYY better than a black screen anyways..................
***hugs to the good old T610*** =D

the wind............
-it isnt scorching outside
-i am next to the window
-the window is thrown WIDE OPEN=)
i just love it when the wind just blows in. it feels so soft, nice and relaxing. It carasses your face and i like the way it feels. It makes me feel especially refreshed when i am on the morning bus and the cool wet wind hits my face and i breathe in the fresh dewy morning air as the bus speeds along the road.
i don't care if my hair is all messed up and i get off the bus with my hair in a slightly ruffled mess......
cus i love the wind in my face!

oh.....and did i meantion that we have to write mini thesises for quite a number of modules???? and that there is a module called Academic Writing( expository etc. you know........oh and grammer??? and reserch??? citations??? referencing?????) but i do know that having knowledege of Academic writing is GOOD! i bet it's going to save a little of my ass if i go to the University in future...so, oh yeA....RAPT attention is a definite must.
anyways, i went for my first Basic Japanese lesson in Ngee Ann on monday.
they werent kidding when they said basic........
so instead of learning things i have already learnt, i talked to my sensei. and SO.......i am going to have a placement test for my japanese tomorrow to see if i can move on to a higher level!!!!!!
i am so nervous, since yesterday actually.......
i really really really hope i can do well!!!!!
oh, and today, my entire D class missed financial management lecture because we thought there wasnt any class due to a miscommunication......the poor lecturer waited in an empty classroom....haish.......so we all ended up gallavanting around the west side of singapore( for my friends and i, it was jurong point and a pig out session at the SUBWAY there^^) or going home. And....my friend and i spent most of our time in TOYS'R US!!!!! haha....we arent in the early childhood field for nothing you know.....hehe......gosh....it was FUN!!!!! haha....like the time that i went with Jess^^.....
oh.......and i played Daytona USA at the arcade with my friends at Jurong Point today, for the first time in my ENTIRE life!!!! I got 3rd place!!.....My gal friends and i totally hogged the whole row of Daytona machines.......well, for one thing....we scream ALOT while driving...hehe. Well, we are girls...hee.....
by the way....ITS ADDICTIVE!!! i think if they let me play one more round, i will never have stepped out of the game arcade.....hahax.....
do i sound like i have no childhood????????=PpP
well, another piece of good news=)))
XM CHORALE got GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! weeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so happy for them^^ i thought they couldnt make it at first........YAY!!!!
just had good talk about my current life condition -esp. of arrogance with mommy.............
i want to stop......i want to have the strength to stop being such a snob who sticks up her nose, who thinks she is better than others, who thinks her way of doing things is better, who uses the word "I" alot, who is self centered, who chooses who to be compassionate to................................
"self retorspect....................
realise the cause laid for it all.......
feel for the person you hate, you despise........
chant for that person, and identify their life condition with yours............................and reflect.....knowing that you are arrogant and not doing anything about it makes the arrogance in you double.................channel it towards kosenrufu...........instead of wanting to be ahead of others, or belittle others, fiercely want others to chant infront of the Gohonzon..........chant your daimoku and self-retrospect......................arrogance triggers cancer....cancer cells are fierce, strong and surpresses all other organisms with their might, just like the life condition of arrogance....remember that mother and daughter share the same karma, a deep karmic bond.........you continue, you may end up worse than i am...................you are fortunate, you start young.........................."
thats what mommy said to me after all my overload of "I....." sentences on her..................about difficulties and stuff...............................................
thank you mommy...................................veryveryvery much......................ずっと感謝する。

last day before a new semester begins....................
just got back home like maybe 2hrs ago???
lets just say i made good use of the last day i had before school starts.
Had Oko in the morning....
followed by a session of choir at PC....
then Mae, Jia Quan and I headed to Tampines Mall for MOVIE!!!!
woohoo!
had lunch at the foodcourt there....
we all had korean food...the kimchi was darn good compared to other places...SERIOUS!!
then we headed to the cinema...watched 200pound Beauty......a korean movie..
IT WAS SO TOUCHING!!!!!!!!!! so nice!!!! i cried quite abit though.....could feel the tears running down my cheeks and onto my neck.......
GO WATCH IT PEOPLE!!!!
then JiaQuan and I headed to VivoCity....for another makan session!!! with YiKai, WeiChuan, Kang Wei and Hong Ming..........at HK Kim Gary Cafe......
JiaQuan and I were very late though.....the rest waited for us for soooo looong....sOrryy!!!
haish.......
gosh...i think PC people have alot of yuan with this reataurant or something....the 3 times i went Vivo for a makan session, it was all with PC ppl and all at the HK Cafe....LOL
but the food was good all them same=) and the company was fun too^^ the guys were stuffed though....they had the signature cheese baked rice dishes......i just took noodles....or else it would mean that i have been stuffing my face for 2 days!!
after footing the bill, the bunch of us went up to this rooftop place with lotsa water around at the top of vivo....it was beautiful....i havent been to that part of vivo before, and i must say that it is quite nice...relaxing even.....if you peer properly, you can see that there are stars staring back at you in the vast night sky.......if you hear properly, you can hear the light swoshing of the waves.......we then sat (some lay) on the grass up there and sang a little and crapped a little before i really had to go.....
we headed back towards the mrt.....
and then we passed by CandyEmpire......
some were full and yet had the capacity to buy chocs......
well, being able to eat is a good thing^^
hahax....but....aiya......who says no to chocs seriously????
lucky i have them at home....wakaka^^ thanks KaiPa and thanks didi! for restocking the house's supply recently....hehe
Still can't get over the ROYCE Nama Chocolate (Japan) though.....
didn't manage to find it at CandyEmpire...dang=/
takashimaya should have i guess^^ **drools**
right now, i am dreaming of a ticket to the Phantom of the Opera!!!!!

after the HOMECAOMING DAY at XMS wrapped up after a slight bout of rain, the bunch of ex4e4 and/or 2E4 went of for a makan session at Fish & CO.^^ the one next to park mall.
we joked the entire evening away.=))
our table was extreamly long owing to the fact that we had 16people!! o.O haha.
but, the "feng shui" of the table was kinda good i guess....haha....cus the TV was at the Top of our table, so one side culd just look up and oogle at the screen ( soccer was on, repeat match though.....but it still kept the guys eyes on it alot....haha)
but it was quite a cute sights to see like the whole row looking up at the screen...hahax!
caught up alot with sarah, huijeen and joanne today.....
hehe...learnt about the gossips in their respective schools.....

i mean, for example, although i knew yong jun and wei ying........
well we all never really got to talk much in school(xms),
but yea, it was fun getting to know them=)
nice people all of them^^
i am totally stuffed after the oversized serving of Fish&Chips from Fish&CO.
will puke at the sight of food right now.......
luckily, it was my first real meal of the day......as in i had breakfast and all...but it was all tiny.....
so the GIANORMOUS portion from dinner balances out
haha......
but the people near me at the table were like.......
"woAA!!! u crossed the finish line!!!" when i finished the last bit of food.....
but i had to admit i was REALLY THE SLOWEST IN THE ENTIRE TABLE (not counting the latecomers....)o.O
hehe.
well, i really look foward to these kind of stuff in the future^^

Schools STARTING!!!!!!!!!
but....
I M SO EXCITED THAT SCHOOL IS STARTING!!!!!!!!!
because i am sick of "nua-ing" at home aimlessly......
i know i wanted to do alot alot of things...but...seriously......
i am quite a procrastinator( wonder if i spelt it right...??? dang....after all these years i still can't get it.....boo)
anyways......back to the topic....
yea...a new semester marks a new beginning....the first day of term is going to be exciting for me because i am going for my first ever japanese lesson in NgeeAnn!!! woot~~!! i am going to meet my new せんせい(先生)[teacher]
先生、はじめまして。よるしくおねがいします!それから、私は一歩一歩がんばりますね!(sensei, hajimemashite, yorushiku onegaishimasu! sorekara, watashi wa ippo ippo ganbarimasu ne!) [teacher, this is the first time i am meeting you, 请多多指教!From now on, with every step on the way, i will do my very best to learn]
do i sound mad????
haha.
anyways....i want to start being very very serious about what i do....have fun but be serious at the same time ***ahem.....can someone explain what this crazy girl means??? she contradicts herself=PP****
as in...hmn.....how do i explain it......
i have to admait that i haven't been diligent in my practice......
during the Student Advance..........i learnt alot......it was painful at quite a few times( almost like being slapped in the face)....but i learnt and i am grateful for that.
but one thing was about strictness being the new IN thing.
i have to be strict with myself with regards to my practice.....
only will the rest fall in place..............
sometime.....i really really want to....yet......sometimes.....it becomes too habitual...till there is no feeling at all.........
i want to climb out from the pit that i have fallen in to.........
*hear me....help me...............*
Sometimes, i just want to pack up and leave.......
Go somewhere where people don't know me....
Fly somewhere where everything is a new experience...
Reside somewhere new and learn of new people..........
seriously!! i get this sudden urges to book myself on a plane and fly......
luckily i am a broke girl......
and i know that flying off like that is quite irresponsible at times isnt it????
urghhhh!!!!!
but sometimes.......it feels like i am running away..........from something and i don't know what.......
( someone just stand up and say "this gal is problematic"seesh....)
there are so many dreams and goals that i want to achieve.....
i keep asking myself though.....are you even up to it......
ha.
but i cant just wallow in self doubt.....and wait for things to materialise....
i must fight...for what i want, what i dream...........
and pray for the understanding of those beside me................................................
it's just that......................
it really hurts when you feel that people don't believe you can make it........
i think i scared my lil'bro that day after student advance when we got home..........we had a nice long chat but i broke down.....................it was then that both my bro and i realised how much pain can be trapped within...........
pain of which some i dont even know the source......
am i going mad?? haha.....
i am not having depression am i?????!!!=/
it felt good to cry though.......
and i learnt that i have a great lil'bro...really.....he is going to grow up to be a good person....
i know this may sound alittle bonkers......
but, i sometimes just want to have a real good crying jag in the protective embrace of someone else and let loose and bawl.....hah.....havent done that yet though........................
not in a very extreamly long time.........................
last person was either grandma, papa or mama....see....i dont even remember,. seesh......
Lonliness accompanied by other lonely souls....:
i peer at the world from within my grey dark room,
i hide the monochomatic world i live in,
with bright paints to cover the gloom.
i thought i was all alone in this daily ritual,
but it turned out that i have similar neighbours
with every turn of the road i go.
they hang their lawns with colourful streamers
proclaiming joy to all.....
but yet i know the other side of their curtains,
is a grey shadow that grows dark and tall.
when will the sun shine into the gloom of these homes?
and paint the inside with rainbows too?
i know these colourful homes exsits somewhere.....
but the journey to it can be tiring though....
when will we open our hearts and show clearly,
the pain that is evident within it?
and yet still stand with our head held high,
walking on without turning back........
do i even dare?
just listen to my heart.........................hear me........................are you there?
