This theme has emotions in it. It's weird.
Sorry this took a while. Was waiting for Grace to post.
I might as well take this time to write mine since I'm feeling sentimental~
I thought about it long and hard and the answer is no, not really. I am holding on to something. Memories. Good and bad, but they're not something I want to let go of. I was holding on to a hope that everything would just fix itself and everything would go back to the way it was. I was holding on to the idea that maybe one day, I would have my friend back.. Just the way I've always known him to be and everything would be right with the world. I can honestly say I've let go of those. I've long since accepted that he's a different person now, and that even if we both want to, there's no turning back. It will never be the same as before. That was sucky. For a while. But you learn to move on, ya know? You just learn to get used to change. I was angry, hurt and confused all at once. Now, I'm just... Indifferent. Like I don't feel strongly about it anymore. It no longer affects me. Maybe when I ended the friendship, I was overreacting, but there hasn't come a time where I regretted what I did. I remember just wanting everything to stop. I wanted to be completely rid of the drama. I wanted nothing to do with him anymore cos all it does it piss me off.
I'm not saying I've forgotten everything. I am holding on to memories, like I said. I miss the good times, but I'm not saying that I want them back. I'm not saying that I don't want them back either. I just don't really care much..
The reason why I don't want to let go of the memories is they don't hurt me when I remember. And the bad memories, as cliche as it sounds, sort of reminds me to be more careful and guarded.. And to not make a fool of myself ever again.

A roll in the sand.
Hello. I'll post this first because Grace is currently MacBookless.
I've never really been on many dates before (I've been on just one lol) but my past experience with them was pretty good. Anyway, I'm taking that this date would be when in a relationship, not before. So it's all past awkwardness, like a point where we'd both be really comfortable around each other already.
I don't want anything extravagant. I don't want the go-to movie and dinner date. I want a picnic with pizza, coke and laughter in a meadow somewhere. Not at a park where there's gonna be other people around. Preferably something overlooking the city or just a beautiful scenery.
A movie marathon at his place would be splendid as well. Or a walk on the beach at night. Or a stroll along the streets of Paris. At night. In the rain.
Just not a bloody storm though. Just a wee drizzle.
Idk. I'm just thinking out loud since I never really thought about it.
P.S. good luck for your exams Trudy. And Liza and Grace for your projects! Hope to hang out with y'all during the hols! :)

Show me yours, I'll show you mine.
Hi y'all. Sorry I didn't get the time to write this yesterday. I was rushing a project as well as a tutorial that'll be checked today. I miss secondary years. You can get away with not doing your homework almost everytime.
Anyway, my childhood was pretty great. I've acquired a lot of battle marks that will forever remind me of how eventful my childhood was and how I trip and fall down almost every other day. I was a hell of an active kid. I'm only home during lunch, dinner and bedtime. Other than that, I'm out frolicking in the fields with my cousins. I've successfully made and flown my own kite before. Adrian helped me, of course, but he allowed me to take full credit.
My favourite childhood memory was probably my kindergarten graduation. We were to perform a song as a class in front of the parents and guests. Microphones were set up in front, but like not one for each of us. So we took our places and I was pretty short so I was in front. I was positioned directly in front of a microphone and I got pretty excited. When we began, I just started singing my heart out as loud as I could. Take note, it was a pretty mellow song. I even had my eyes closed. For some reason, my kindergarten year old brain didn't know I sound horrible, pure and utter disaster. So I took the laughter and applause as an encouragement and sang even louder, if that was possible. I almost died of embarrassment when my Ate Beth told me what was really up.
I don't know why that's my favourite. I've had so much memories and it's the one that stuck out. Enjoy.
P.S. the title means nothing lol

Dreams, dreams, dreams..
I'm currently on my bed, cuddled under thick blankets and it's pouring outside. This is the best feeling and there's no place I'd rather be, really.
If it wasn't raining, I'd love to be in a beach somewhere with a best friend, having pizza, coke and conversation. I want to spend one whole night doing just that. I've always wanted to do that. I hate having strict parents.
I don't know what else to say, actually. Hmmm. Did I mentioned I tried doing a video post despite my misgivings about it? Haha. It failed miserably. Something's really off with my mic and I was too awkward. I would've made you guys feel so uncomfortable. Haha.
Btw. Yesterday, I had this dream about this guy I know from school. I have no idea what happened in the dream and why he's the only person I remember being in that dream. The only thing I remember is that he's a vital part of it. Since that dream, I just started noticing him, just everything that he do when he's around. I can't help it and IT'S DRIVING ME INSANE. I don't even know why I randomly dreamt of him. Because I know I've never given him much thought until that dream. So lay off the "maybe you were thinking of him before you fell asleep". I just can't.. Ugh. I can't stop thinking about it and wondering what the hell happened in that dream and why he's the only one I remembered being in it when I woke up.
Anyways, I better go and figure this out before I go completely mad. Have a nice week guys!

Fingers
I'm on the train ride to CCK and listening to Punk Goes Pop album 4. Oh, how much I love Fearless Records.
Anyway, onto the topic.
I don't really know what to talk about since I'm still in the process of discovering myself. (ew, cliche!)
Like there're a lot of things I don't notice about me until somebody points out.
For example, 2 people have pointed out to me - one of them is trudy - that whenever I'm nervous or worried or frustrated, I destroy stuff. Haha. Not like throw things around the room or shove items off the table or anything that dramatic. Like, I'll be chipping the paint off something, like a table, a wall or my nails. I shred paper. Stuff like that. Or if there's nothing to destroy, I'll be subconsciously drumming my fingers non stop until I or someone notice and make me stop.
Whenever I'm thinking, I always have to be doing something with my fingers. Like clicking my pen repeatedly, basically annoying people. So yeah, there's that.
Hope you guys had awesome week! And to Grace and Trudy, happy new year! :D gimme some love. And by love, I meant pineapple tarts.
See you guys tomorrow!

I know I am good for something
Insecurities. (Do you want a list?)
I'm awkward around new people. I hate eating alone. I find it hard to get my order right when the Starbucks barista is cute. I hate missing out. I wish I could lose a few kilos. I hate attracting attention, I much rather blend in.
How about that?
I'm not a fan of meeting new people. I just don't know how to talk to them. I'm always afraid that if you bring me to a party with people I haven't met before and you're the only one I know, I would be too shy to socialize and would follow you around like a puppy all day. And that'll be awkward for everyone. I like it when they break the ice though and be the one to initiate conversations because God knows I wouldn't. Idk. I just find that I'm really quiet around people I don't know much. I've always wished to have the confidence "high girls" have. I could join camps and school socials and have fun in them.
I hate eating alone. Period. There's not really much to say.
I can't talk properly if the barista is more than average looking. I keep messing up my order. I learnt to either ask someone to order for me and if I'm alone, survey the staff first an if the guy taking orders is cute, I just won't buy. I know it's stupid. Also: when choosing seats in the bus, I always choose to either sit alone, next to a girl, or the least attractive guy. In the order. The chances of you making an ass of yourself increases tenfolds when within a meter radius of an attractive person. Yep. I avoid them like the plague. I don't deprive myself from observing from a respectable distance. No, not stalking.
I hate missing out. This is a little bit complicated. Like I don't like being the minority not invited to an "outing". Even if I don't really want to go and I'm not really interested, it'd still be nice to get invited. I know it's stupid, but I want to be invited more than I actually want to go. This is not actually a big deal. I don't hate it, I just sorta mind.
I WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT.
I hate being stared at, it's the most uncomfortable thing, unless it's warranted. Like if I'm with friends and we're causing a scene in public, that's fine. But being the center of attention, like giving a speech, receiving a price on stage, getting mentioned by the teacher.. Those kind of things? I hate them. You could say I don't like standing out. I would take plain clothes to flashy ones any day.
Hope the last point made sense. I have a lot of insecurities and I'm honest about them. Oh is that a redeeming quality? No? Okay.

"You really don't need a forensics team to get to the bottom of this. If you guys were the inventors of Facebook, you'd have invented Facebook"
Mark Zuckerberg: I went to my friend for the money because that's who I wanted to be partners with. Eduardo was the president of the Harvard Investors Association, and he was also my best friend.Here's another one:
Gage: Your best friend is suing you for six hundred million dollars.
Mark Zuckerberg: I didn't know that, tell me more.
Gage: Mr. Zuckerberg, do I have your full attention?If you did not even crack a smile while reading those... Son, I will be disappoint.
Mark Zuckerberg: [stares out the window] No.
Gage: Do you think I deserve it?
Mark Zuckerberg: [looks at Gage] What?
Gage: Do you think I deserve your full attention?
Mark Zuckerberg: I had to swear an oath before we began this deposition, and I don't want to perjure myself, so I have a legal obligation to say no.
Gage: Okay - no. You don't think I deserve your attention.
Mark Zuckerberg: I think if your clients want to sit on my shoulders and call themselves tall, they have the right to give it a try - but there's no requirement that I enjoy sitting here listening to people lie. You have part of my attention - you have the minimum amount. The rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook, where my colleagues and I are doing things that no one in this room, including and especially your clients, are intellectually or creatively capable of doing.
[pauses]
Mark Zuckerberg: Did I adequately answer your condescending question?

The Hardest Thing
This day last year is so much different from now. I can't believe so much has happened in just a year. Maybe it's because of the shift in the environment. Somehow, poly changed us. We all anticipated a change, I’m sure. After all, change is one thing that remains constant, but how can things change so much? With so little action, it creates this series of events that led to where we stand now. How do we go back? How did we even get here? If we could undo one thing, would we?
I lost a great friend. I say lost, because even if we’re still friends now, it’s not the way it used to be. He’s different now, he’s changed. I miss him a lot. The old him. It might kill me to tell him in person, but I do. I remember how we couldn’t go half a week without insulting each other or a week without hanging out… We all have that one friend who you can’t stand half the time but we really give a damn about them in a I’d-care-if-they-die kind of way. Hehe. No, really. It’s a purely platonic relationship that only a few people would understand. The kind that you’re like a cross between siblings and best friends. You squabble like siblings and argue a lot but when it all comes down to it and when it counts, you’re there for each other. To give advice, to offer company or just to be there.
I like to blame it on him, to say that he’s the one who drifted first, but I know it was my fault. I won't go into any details but he said as much. I’m sorry. And I regret it. I wish that I’d get him back but it’s clear as day that I won’t. He’s so different now. Sometimes I think that I don’t even recognize him, so I just stop trying. I will always miss him though.
The process of accepting that I lost a best friend is definitely one of the hardest thing I went through. Maybe I’m still going through it. I don’t know. So there you go.
I went in here not really knowing if I was gonna tell it or not. I don’t know why I did so I’m just going to assume that there’s a reason for it. Sorry for sounding sentimental as fuck.
I'm not going to expect you to understand anything I just said, and we are not to talk about this ever again. I'm just going to pretend I didn't just opened up about this to y'all. haha.
Have a great week, everyone.

Overdue
I'm sorry I didn't get to post this on time. I had Common Test yesterday so it kinda slipped on my mind.
Anyway, I like this guy. This guy with the nice hair that just swoosh with his every move. With the lean body and tanned skin. His eyes sparkle whenever he laughs. And omygoodness, his laugh! I just melt into a big puddle of goo whenever he flashes that cute smile. He's funny and smart. Not to mention, non-existent.
Am I annoying you yet? No?
I don't really like anyone right now. Which is so weird because I always have a crush. But yeah, nope. 'eye candy' is such a popular term in poly. Crazy how such a juvenile term is the hit in poly and it was rarely used in secondary school. But well, I think I have one of those. Eye candy, I mean. Only because I thought I finally found a cute guy from my course that is not associated to our former school mate, ehem, but then it turns out that he's not actually from my course and is good friends with our dear school mate. So yeah, egg on my face. He's still cute though and I see him often. If you know me enough, you know that I avoid eye candies like the plague. Because I think that the chances of you fucking up in life or making yourself look like a fool increases tenfolds whenever you're near a cute guy. Or is it just me?
I hope you guys had a lovely week and good luck for your common tests Trudy! And for your written tests if you have them Liza and Grace. Can't wait to hang out with y'all soon!

"My taste in music is perfect and anyone who disagrees is wrong and probably smells weird."
Anyways, I can’t really remember anything I did this week besides celebrating Seong Eun's birthday and meeting up with Liza for Starbucks. Those are probably the highlight of my week. Funny, cos I had days like that every week back in secondary school.
WHICH REMINDS ME. GRACE HAVE YOU WISHED SEONG EUN HAPPY BIRTHDAY YET?
All right so on with the week’s theme. I CANNOT CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT.
Oh and I totally laughed out loud whenever Grace pointedly tells me not to hate on her type in music. HAHAHA. I miss art days. I miss you, Grace.
(This is probably in order of favouritism. Probably.)
1. ALL TIME LOW

Whenever their fans describes them, they always say, “they helped me get through a very difficult moment in my life” and “they were there when no one else was” or “I wouldn’t be here if not for them, I owe them my life”. Sadly, All Time Low and I didn’t share such drama. I love them just because. No other reason, no life-altering moments that brought us together.
Anyway, I can remember the exact time I listened to them. Six Feet Under The Stars was the first song I’ve heard of them. I didn’t particularly liked it at first but then it started to grow on me. Enough to make me remember the band’s name, but not enough to make me listen to all the songs the band has. Then Essential15 did a cover of Remembering Sunday in youtube. I fell in love with it, and that was the time I “discovered” All Time Low.
I fell even more in love with them when I got to know who they are off stage. As far as you can really get to know a band that is, they are amazing people. I’ve seen them live and it was such a great experience. One that I’ll keep with me for the rest of my life, even when I’m in my 30s and probably think they’re shit, I’d still treasure the moment I spent watching them.
My favourite album is either Put Up Or Shut Up or So Wrong, It’s Right. My least favourite is The Party Scene, their first album. Man, did they suck then. Hahaha. And I Feel Like Dancin’ is probably their worst song.
Favourite song: Painting Flowers or Therapy
2. Mayday Parade and The Maine
I can’t decide which band I like more.
Let's drink to memories we shared Down one to all the hopes and cares Here's two for being unaware that you're gone Because before too long you'll be a memory
(One Man Drinking Game)
Now I'm wearing a smile that I don't believe in, inside I feel like screaming.
(Bruise And Scarred)
Mayday Parade: If You Wanted A Song Written About You, All You Had To Do Was Ask OR Miserable At Best
The Maine: Into Your Arms
(John O' looks positively dishy in this one!)
3. We The Kings
The person who introduced me to this band is WEE KIAT. Hahaha. He probably didn’t realise it. It was back in Secondary 3. We were on our way to Wee Cee Pee and I rummaged through his song lists and listened to Check Yes Juliet for the first time. For a long while, I kept singing it to myself and loving people who sing it with me then. Ahhh, memories. Then Liza heard me singing it and offered to send me the whole album. I WOULD NEVER STOP LOVING YOU FOR THAT LIZA <3
Their first album, We The Kings, was perfect. Like probably one of the best albums out there. All of the songs were great. That guaranteed them instant popularity, if I’m not wrong, they got signed up to a major record label. I couldn’t say the same for their second album, Smile Kid, though, it still had some songs that had the same quality I loved about their first album, but somewhat forgettable. That’s fine, maybe it’s just because I was expecting so much because of their first album. However, the third album isn't good. I refuse to believe that Travis wrote “Sleep With Me”. Granted that I don't like their latest album, my love for their first is enough to make me still look forward for the fourth album! I remember how excited I got for their second album and how Liza said, “I don’t like them anymore. I realised they’re pretty gay” or somewhere along those lines. HAHA. Liza is never one to mince her words. SMH. Anyway, I believe that even if I don’t like some of their songs, it doesn't make me less of a fan compared to someone who likes everything. That just happens to be my opinion. :)
Favourite song: August is Over and Secret Valentine
I love that We The Kings has music videos for their best songs.
People (Grace. HAHA.) tell me that I listen to bands that sound the same. I disagree. They have the same genre, but I can definitely differentiate their sound from the other. :)
