Till we meet again,
Monday, 28jan Portfolio review in t531, school of design block. I swear i saw hiro throwing my process models, but why do i see them on the desk again?! Darch year 2 = work hard & play hard I'll be looking forward to the HK trip. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My M-I-A days Tuesday - Wednesday  Path to Enlightenment   left: My X-ray report.. right: Gone with my idol days. I was madly in craze then, that i cut out newspapers, bought unnecessary magazines, and filed them in couple of folders. So, you could see holes in newspapers/ magazines; i was the culprit. I bought every single album, possessed almost every single poster i see in any shop. Almost everything about them, i want and i bought.  From paper bags, to cardboard bag. I kept them alright..   My external's external achievements. What do you know about me? Apart from those, i'm a sentimental person. I tend to keep, rather than discard. But without letting go of the past, how am i supposed to allow the present, and the future in? And that's where discard comes in. Learn to give in, and let go.  The great wall of Singapore, made up not of bricks, but of CD covers. On top of it stood the Currypuff girl, who sells her puffs at the peak. I've sorta discovered that, half of my room holds my books (10% academic, 40% leisure), the other half: 30% clothes, 20% miscellaneous. And i've decided to donate more than half of the leisure books that are in good condition to the orphanage! Aside from books, other necessary stuffs for them too. But dad said that the orphanage had reminded them not to bring any more books as they have more than enough. And he threw them all away, before i could tell him that i could find another orphanage or even childcare center which might want them.. Sigh. I'm and will continue to keep my primary one exam paper, my achievements, books, birthday presents, and my drawings since long ago till to date. And speaking of presents, i've too many of certain things like, photoframes, soft toys etc.. And i really do want to keep them, but i've no use for them.. Firstly, i don't put up photos in frames, i find it weird to see myself all over my room, no offence. Secondly, i receive complaints from mama about softtoys, 'cos i had asthma before and occasionally i still do experience wheezing moments, so.. can't keep too many (You want me to die, is it? -.-). So pardon me if i give them away. D: Let me be engaged in my own world, and be rid of the sins, the worries, and the feelings i have for the outside world. The sweet sweet moments are over. Wake up, he won't care about you. Not a damn of it.. You made me look forward to the first day of CNY, our oh-so-dramatic scene at the end, you as my whiteknight. yet now i can only dread for it not to come, 'cos there won't be any whiteknight sending me home. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bon voyage.

Disguised,
Ugly dream.I had this dream for a couple of times. It was about my house being intruded in the night. It begun with an unlocked gate, a welcoming sign to burglars. The friend was the one who didn't lock the gate. And this stranger went up to my house, breaking up the main door, since the main gate is opened. Then i was near the door, so i put up a struggle with him. He brought some equipments to break open the door. And my friend stood beside me, and stunned. In the end, my house was broke in after a short struggle. T.T And i heard myself calling out 'help!', and then i woke up. That was like, a dream talk. Having mentioned about dream talk, i really had dream talks few times before i think. That's not a good sign. D: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feeling kinda of jerky up in my head, though i didn't sip a single bit of vodka just now. Face's getting kinda serious? Feeling the itchiness so much more now, that my legs are getting the spread? 1:27 pm
Still yesterday,
Last evening.Went town with mama, got my CNY dress and accessories. Yes, is dress. We went to just ONE shop to get our stuffs at PS, and then she wanna call it a day to avoid traffic jam. D: I intended to bring her to kino and get my book, bring her to 'The better toy store' and many other places which i went the other time! DD: So, she got her kinda denim skirt, and i got my erm looks like an oversized shirt, but actually a dress. It's being washed now, so i can't give the exact name for it. And another side item for the dress i bought was a bracelet. Okay, so the ride back to cck was lonnnngg, then i dragged her to lot1! And got my accessories! :D 2 bottles of nail polishes, 1 pencil eyeliner. Wanted to get more stuffs, but i think next time! Next up: necklaces! handbag! Once i got home, i tried on the makeup. It was .... -.- So i kept drawing circles around my right eye, making me look like mrs mai- pig video! -.- It took me some time to put it off. I should have bought the other eyeliner.. 'cos i bought the long lasting eyeliner! ?!?! And today, when i woke up, i saw a red patch on my face! God, could it be from the blushers or bites from insect? It's slightly swollen! I GOT BOXED?! Better recover fast.. If not i'll hide from the crowds T.T --------------------------------------------------------- She's growing, i grow with her. She's learning to speak, i learn with her. She smiles at me, i'll make her smile more. She cries, i'll cajole her. I made a video of her that day. How adorable. She was speaking her language, while 'eating off' her hand. -.- Saturday, January 26, 2008 1:57 pm
Your lovable smile.
You're laughable.You've your ways to make me laugh, which i sometimes hate to 'cos i shouldn't be laughing. You look funny, but not in the sense of the arrangement of eyes, nose, mouth, etc. -.- When i see you, i tend to smile, and perhaps start laughing. You look funny when you laugh too -.- It's kept under control at times, when i really need to. This is so laughable. I've funny friends. Or maybe i'm just the funny one, which i always am. ------------------------------------------------------ If i get to choose, i'll not land myself in a mud where i'm now. You thought i don't know, but actually i know it all. Just that certain things, i tend not to be bothered about. I rather not know anything, than to know 'cos the curiosity to know more is inevitable. So, the moment i know, i'll know it all. It's either 0% or 100%. Pope Paul VI: I shall choose not to have an ally. Friday, January 25, 2008 9:43 am
Architecture @ Singapore Polytechnic
 Interested in Architecture? Basically, apart from those general information that you have to know, some opinions from the been-there-done-that people would be that, if you have interest in Art (drawing, designing, building models, etc). You have been to the right place. Side Info from students: To me, if i join Architecture, i can change to a different jobscope not easily but at least possible. So i may not be an Architect, but a designer or a contractor or others too. In Architecture, it is like a general scope of what other design schools do. We learn spatial designing too, so we can switch to interior design and further pursue it to be a specialist. However, from interior design course, you can't switch to Architecture 'cos you can't possibly skip from a specialized course to the general course. You can try though. It can be very relaxed where you can have no work to do for almost a week or so. It can be very stressed up when you're nearing to project deadlines. There're three minor projects, and one major project. Primer & case study = minor. Final project is the major one. The intake is around 80, spilt into 4 classes. 01 to 04. 01/02 will be at one side of the studio, and vice versa. 01/02 will be merged and will attend lectures together etc, and vice versa. Primer 1:  A group project, allows you to bring in creative brain juices, where you'll have to think of a way to enhance SP's environment, for the benefit of the students studying there. Working period will be around 1month or so. Presentation will be done among our classes and lecturers. Primer 2:  An individual project. The location we did on was at West Coast Park. So we'll have to make trips there to improve on our ideas/ get inspirations (aiya, just take camera la!). This time round, you'll have to choose from a list of well-known local people to work on their personality, then build a Hub which best describes the person. People like Jack Neo, Royston Tan, etc. The above photo is a massing, where the idea first flows from here to a craved out model. (From a dot, to a line, to a square, to a cube and it goes on..). Yes, then you'll have to present too, in a joint-critique. Case Study: This is a group project. You'll be working on a house that is already been built, and people living in it. All you have to do, is to explore on the expression of architecture, the concept behind the design and stuffs. You'll also have to state where's the orientation of sun, wind etc. Site Visits:  We go for visits, like National Museum, West Coast Park, Vivocity exhibitions, Architectural films, etc. And during this visits, we're bound have assignments, so we have to sketch and take photos. Year one Studio:    left: Yes, you have your own desk and desktop. Desktop will only be there after june (i think), where we will need to draw our plans, etc into CAD software. centre: that's the place where the lecturers will be. right: that's my class, 03 & 04. Final Project:   left: FOUR A1 presentation boards (yea, that's mine) right: House, 1: 100 scale (that's my friend's) For final project, you'll have to work on your own design to build a house for your clients. 40% of this project is going to your year one grades. To do well, 1. you must be CONFIDENT IN PRESENTATION (speak well, prepare well), 2. APPROACH the lecturers FOR OPINIONS (do show them your work before asking them), 3. RESEARCH (library's our closest friend) 4. Prioritize Aside from these, you'll have elective modules too! You just read about those in the above link. Thanks for choosing Architecture, and hope you won't regret. LOL.

Shirleen Ong, former BPGHS principal, appeared on the news. A shock indeed. I was thinking BP got themselves on the camera again, like what happened couple of years ago and consecutively? No, it wasn't. She is the current principal for MGS, the outstanding girl powers as CNA has claimed. Well, congratuations.As for BP, the spirit has shown its other side.. top scholar with 9A1s. I wonder how the level did. Did it progress or did it.. fluctuate on the downside..? While in school, my friends from TKSS (Tajong katong) shared their joy with us. They said almost half of the cohort getting distinction for EL, and 98% distinction for Chemistry! Though we aren't the involved people, the least we could do is to share the joy. Rejoice with the school's achievements, we were once also from the school that makes what we are now. Achievements are things that can get you somewhere- a better somewhere or a worse than current somewhere. We all want to go somewhere better, which makes us either unhappy or never satisfied. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Portfolio submission Today, i made a record for perspiration. From my house to ADRC- ~40mins. After a 10min walk to the MRT, i sat down and beads of sweat started to drip, and i felt sticky. In the train, i started to cool down and condense! Out came me with my 2 heavy ringfiles. Draggy footsteps i took while hugging them. Then i saw this guy facing me while on the escalator. OOOOOOOOO he's my friend -.- And and, he couldn't recognize me, neither my name. Sigh. He's just one of the quick friends i made last year. We were talking about the identities of me and someone else, with some side issues. That was not a scandal, that was for real. And yes, i was still hugging my stuffs, walking along the useless shelter walkway under the I'll 9:52 am
So yesterday    He felt cold. He took out one of his blankie, and tucked himself in it. When i was about to take a photo of him, his reaction was: "0.0 !!", and went hiding his blankie, despite the cold. And when the camera is not seen, he creepily took out the blankie beside him, and tucked himself in once again. Then this time round, CAMERA IS OUT AGAIN! He went "0.0!!!!" The shocked and panicking face once again. Then he quickly hide his blankie again. Lol. Till he got tired of his childish sister's stupid acts, he hecked care of the camera and went lying comfortably to watch the television. When i showed him the photo i took, he was like: "D: ", rofl. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I happened to bloghop yesterday, seen posts that were rather disheartening yet enlightened. Iziziz's was mentioning about his mishap in the last couple of weeks of 2007, and his recent stuffs too. At first i couldn't believe that it could happen on a strong young man, who has always been an athlete, one of those better students, and also a peaceful friend. But well, i should say that life's unpredictable? Or perhaps he chose not to tell the ones around him, so that the truth won't hurt us? We've known each other since Sec2, then became neighbouring classes for sec3 & 4. During the first year, from strangers to kinda good friends i should say. I remember the drama we had! I was his parrot. Hahaha. We were acting a scene from Matilda, we shared great coordination and humor, and made the class burst into laughter! It was a great enjoyment. Then for Home Econs, we booked iziziz to be in our group of 4! I admit that i was the lousiest cook. To peel the onion for almost half an hour.. (It just gets smaller and smaller, and i don't know when to stop either -.-) And seeing my other 3 mates chopping, cooking, washing, etc. I stood there peeling. The times we spent at his house was fun and memorable. The snake snake, the cake, the potato pie! And nonetheless, his doggy! WAHAHA :X I also realised that he uses a single-line typing! :DD That was my habit too! Hmm, i know most of us always neglect the fact that we will all be around, but who will be there, always for you? Yes, we do come and go, sometimes even forgotten. Perhaps that explains the closeness we have for each other. Wonder if Iziziz will read it or not. Well, it's not too late for us to mend back our 'close' friendship right, iziziz? :D I miss him so. Yes, iziziz.  I think i didn't look childish then. =/ But my hand sign was erm.. weird. All i need is a change of spectacles, to look different. Major difference. -------------------------------------------------------- I dreamt of something on Monday night. That X occurence again. But a nice dream, though i didn't manage to finish 'reading' the letter. Heh heh. I watched the encore telecast of The Amazing Race 10 again, 'cos the victory was so unbelievable. I can't help but to watch again. Casting aside the post-AR, i was obsessed with Survivor XV China. Good old times during the cavemen period, are so so innovative. What am i talking about? One day you might see me and a group of friends or whatever, travelling around the world! Money makes the world go round. Without money, the world is not round. Besides AR, Survivor XV, i watch Play with me Sesame! Coffee Prince too! Mornings are love. Play with me Sesame - 9 to 9.30am Amazing Race (Live telecast from US) - 9.30 to 10.30am i think (wonder if there's a new series?) SurvivorXV - 1 to 2pm Taiwan Showbiz - 5 to 6pm (sometimes i'll give it a go) Coffee Prince - 10 to 11pm With the overflowing lust, you don't see it as love. Till my passion runs out, you don't see it as laze. With my open arms, you don't see it as like. Wednesday, January 23, 2008 9:46 am
Tuesday trip to CCKPS  right: Our favourite trip to underground provision shops. This is one of them. Most frequent one would be Food Lion. left: There's a new shelter built.  The long walk to the school that is just before us, hidden by two spastic trees. -.- So while walking along this nostalgia lane, i took the photos where they mean something to me/ us.   left: The badminton court & playground right: My kindergarten..  Chua Chu Kang Primary School My days there, 1997-2002 -------------------------------------- I used to think that there will be someone out there, to hear/ share my woes, my happiness, my days. Then i gave it a thought again. Sometimes, i just tend to think too much. 你笑着说她是朋友, 但你眼中太温柔. 我的不安那么沉重. 只有你不懂, 她霸占了你的心中, 属于我的角落. 所以你说我们, 不是你和我. 是我想太多, 你总这样说. 但你却没有真的心疼我. 是我想太多, 我也这样说, 这是唯一能安慰我的理由.

TODAY, TUESDAY.220108 I didn't go for the morning jog! I guess i couldn't wake up D: So i was awoken by mum and asked me to get changed, and pick my brother up. At that point of time, i was stunned. 0.0 Why didn't i jog? Why am i supposed to pick him up? Lol? So at my surprise, i didn't grumble or whatever. And i was told he was having a fever in school. So, being a good sister as always (Yeaaaa... Lol), i went to my primary school and picked him up. The security guard was super friendly and assisted me. Good school groom good people. LOL. So am i. Then we took bus home, after waiting for almost 10mins. Z. Past by BPGHS. And i saw the technical block- the sweet&sour memories (Opps i ate them -.-). Alright, brought him home and went to bathe. AND HIS BAG IS FREAKING THE HEAVY OKAY. Even my secondary school bag wasn't as heavy i swear. I was as though carrying a rice sack over my shoulder, with another file bag in my left hand, an umbrella to shelter him from the rays, dragged my feet along, and holding my brother's hand. After i bathed, my dad called to ask me go bring him down to the doctor's. Dot.. So, i got changed again and brought him down. We waited for like half an hour, still a long way to go to our turn. D: Then my dad reached, passed him the necessary things, he gave me money to get food for mum, and off i go for 'grocery shopping'. I love running on errands, with money given! Went to two places, but didn't sell the food i need, so went lot1. Then went pasar malam to get some snacks for my family. Reached home and realised.. that i forgot to get congee for my brother! So mum went to cook instead. Phew. Amy's sucha big sister today:D Praise me! :D HAHAHA. 2:11 pm
MONDAY210108  Before. The Better Toy Store!      IT'S DAMNNNN DREAMY? I LOVE THIS PLACE! I WANT MY HOUSE TO BE LIKE THIS! So i can play with my children all day long, perhaps a childcare centre at my house. :DD Children are fun toys. -.- Oh yeah, bought couple of toys there! Gave one to HM and one to my lil bro! KINOKUNIYA!   BOOKS ON INTERIOR DESIGN! ARCHITECTURE! THEY ARE MY SUPERFICIAL LOVE!   left: XIAO GUI'S BOOK! right: INNOVATIVE DESIGN BOOKS! One day, I MUST GO ON ANOTHER TRIP AND SHOP FOR BOOKS! RAR! TAKA Children's department!     I'M STILL FASCINATED BY SLYIVANIAN FAMILY (should be the right spelling)! That's why it attracted me to Architecture. CY saw me when i was looking at the houses. :D And tada, spongebob and patrick for the both of us! :DD Couldn't see any patrick toy, if not i'd have bought one for you! D: Two sales assistants kept looking at me. -.- Was it because photos cannot be taken or afraid that i might steal the toys? Then there's this guy (the one hidden behind the houses) who sat right in the middle of the toys! D: EVIL. Then another guy was at the side. Z. So i walked off to other sections after enough snapping of photos. HNG. One day i come and buy a bigbig house i tell you! But my room has no space for it already. NEW SHOPPING MALL? NO! THIS IS ORCHARD MRT STATION!   This idea of canopy is so like the feeling i get at Vivocity. Well, i think Singapore is moving towards this kind of Artistic outlook. Woot. Work on it, Singa! :D Ion. So, i headed off to The Central @ Clarke Quay, to kill away some time. They have nice architecture too. Everywhere i go, i'll stop, snap, and experience. Architectural life makes me artistic and more self-aware around! Rather than, walk, walk, walk- like a Zombie. Hey people, you guys ought to appreciate what's around you! That's where the taxes we've paid have gone to! To provide us with a higher standard of living. Aren't we fortunate? So, open your eyes when you are out there! Have opinions of your own, comment- if it's a good design or a bad design.   Off to celebrate.  After. These before and after photos are the shots of the pasar malam below my block, at the green field. :D You can see them while on the train! 12:35 am
GRADES ARE OUT.SO IS SCHOOL? Hmm. Let me see. I guess, i won't be able to hit a GPA of 3.0. Perhaps a 3.5? Hopefully. That's not too good for a target, though. But, do i have a choice? Others might be saying to me, "look at mine, worse than you la, still so sad for what." Sorry, but we must always aim high. Comparing with others in a worser plight doesn't help, neither do we feel good." This is not an offence to anyone, but perhaps as a motivation to you guys out there, work towards the top, for there's cleaner oxygen- Life will be better. I didn't get straight As. Damn? Not even an A+, and luckily not even a C. I swear i was worried about my MAT, as much as for the test. Okay, so i've gotten, I'm not happy, but i can say i'm satisfied 'cos the tough gets going, the going gets tougher. And today's HOMING'S BIRTHDAY! Okay, already past midnight so it was yesterday. Let me summarise about yesterday's(today's) events. After my town trip to get the flipflops, butter paper and couple of toys, i went window shopping at taka! Bumped into CY! That was so fated xD Then rotted quite a while before i headed to Clarke Quay to meet them. From 7plus till 8plus = waiting time T.T So i window shopped at The Central! Still renovating... But the outlook is not too bad. We had our dinner at the Indonesian Restuarant along Riverside Point. The food there was not too bad, reasonable price too. Just that the wind was so unpredictable that two poor fellows were attacked by flying serviettes/ sauces/ lime, etc.. LOL. And my hair was making a mess of my face. -.- I shall upload the photos at a later time, though is already in my laptop already. :D SHOW TIME! HELLO-TO-MY-FIRST-MORNING-JOG! RUN FOR MY LIFE. Hopefully, i won't laze in my cozy bed, and no rain too. ME LOVE. Monday, January 21, 2008 9:56 am
THEY WON! YES THEY WON THE MILLION DOLLAR!TK & RACHEL! Though Ron&Christina managed to clinch the second place. But, both teams are my favourites! I miss them.. --------------- I've been thinking about this statement that i've thought of. Males exercise to keep fit, women go on diet to slim down. This brings my point across where we, women, are not doing the healthy and the right method to keep fit/ silm down. A wrong perspective. Perhaps women get busier than males, going on diet helps cut down time. I'm starting on a new 'hobby' - jogging around the neighbourhood/ going gym and stuffs. Anyone wants to join me? =/ "Sex is a notional category, gender is a grammatical category." Sunday, January 20, 2008 2:40 pm
A man of words and not of deedsA man of words and not of deeds Is like a garden full of weeds And when the weeds begin to grow It's like a garden full of snow And when the snow begins to fall It's like a bird upon the wall And when the bird away does fly It's like an eagle in the sky And when the sky begins to roar It's like a lion at the door And when the door begins to crack It's like a stick across your back And when your back begins to smart It's like a penknife in your heart And when your heart begins to bleed You're dead, and dead, and dead indeed. “Music is what feelings sound like.” ~ unknown “Music is the poetry of air.” ~ John Paul Richter “Where words fail, music speaks.” ~ Hans Christian Andersen ----------------------------------------------------------------- I suppose we all need an explanation. With all it takes to speak up, I felt half of the burden loaded off my shoulder, with the other half left for the explanation. Even if it hurts to clarify, it is still a need to. If not, i'd surrender my role. And you think by not telling, we won't get hold of what's happening. You're so wrong. Until someone speaks up, not only the cat is out of the bag, but also, the more explanation you need to tell. This is not directed to personal attacks, but to those involved, that we are not in the dark anymore. This shall lead no more to dispute but harmony- if only that could happen. TOMORROW IS THE RELEASE OF FINAL PROJECT GRADES. FINAL THREE FOR AMAZING RACE. DRAMA TO AWAIT FOR, IN THE LATER PART OF THE DAY. How climactic my life can be? You, will be loved. The incurable illness growing in my body, of my youth it eats in. I've been feeling rather weak recently, low blood pressure? The doctor said no, but that was told to me in the past. Perhaps it changed? When i get up from my sitting/ lying position, i start to get dizzy. And luckily this time round, i didn't faint like what i did in 2006 (a post was dedicated to my injuries due to my faint incident), 'cos i managed to sit down during the dizziness moment. Needa control my diet and sleep! OFF TO SUNDAYS BRIDGE! We're so so addicted, so addicted. Saturday, January 19, 2008 7:12 pm
CONFLICT.------------------- RESPECT? SENSE OF BELONGING? ---------------------------- A long time ago, when the world had just begun, six young women lived in a village set beside a huge boulder. As was their custom, one day while their husbands were out hunting, they went out to dig for herbs. Some time passed, each of the women rooting with her digging stick, and then one of the wives found something new to eat. "Come and try this," she told her friends. "This plant tastes delicious!" Within minutes, the six women were all eating sweet onions. They were so tasty that they ate until the sun set. One of the wives looked at the dark sky. "We'd better get home to cook dinner for our husbands," she pointed out, and they all left. When the husbands came home that night they were exhausted but happy, since they had each killed a cougar. "What smells so awful?" oneman asked as he stood in the doorway of his lodge. "Maybe it is some food thta has spoiled," another husband suggested. But when they leaned over to kiss their wives hello, they realized where the odor was coming from. "We found something new to eat," the wives said, bubbling with excitement. They held out the onions. "Here, try them." "They smell terrible," the husbands said. "We won't eat them. And you're not going to stay in the same lodge as us, not smelling like that. You'll have to sleep outside tonight." So the wives gathered their things and slept beneath the stars. When the husbands left to go hunting the next day, the wives returned to the spot where they had dug up the wild onions. They knew their husbands didn't like the smell, but the onions were so delicious that the wives could not help but eat them. They filled their bellies and stretched out on the soft red earth. The husbands came home that night, gruff and irritable. They had not caught any cougars. "We smelled like your onions," they accused, "so the animals ran away. It is al your fault." The wives didn't believe them. They slept outside a second night, and a third, until a week had passed. The wives kept eating the onions that were so delicious, and the men could not catch any cougars. Frustrated, the men yelled at their wives, "Get away from us! We can't stand your onion smell." "Well, we can't get any sleep outside," the wives countered. The seventh day, the wives took their woven ropes with them when they went to dig the onions. One wife carried along her baby daughter. They scaled the large rock beside their village and turned their faces to the sinking crimson sun. "Let's leave our husbands," one wife suggested. "I don't want to live with mine anymore." The wives all agreed. The oldest wife stood on the boulder and chanted a magical word. She tossed her rope into the sky, and it hooked over a cloud so that the ends hung down. The other wives tied their own ropes to the one that was swinging and then they stood on the frayed edges of the ropes. Slowly they began to rise, swaying around like starlings. They moved in circles, passing each other, reaching higher and higher. The other villagers saw the wives ascending in the sky. "Come back!" the People called as the women floated over the camp. But the wives and the little girl kept going. When the husbands returned that night, they were hungry and lonely. They wished they had not driven their wives away. One of them got the idea to go after the women, using the same kind of magic they had. They ran to their lodges and brought their own ropes, and soon they too were rising in the night. The wives glanced down and saw the husbands coming after them. "Should we wait for them?" one woman asked calmly. The others shouted and shook their heads. "No! They told us to leave. We won't let them catch us." They danced and swung on their ropes. "We will be happier in the sky." When the husbands were close enough to hear, the wives shouted for them to stop, and the men stayed right where they were, a little behind their wives. So the women who loved onions stayed in Sky Country. They are still there, seven stars that we call the Pleiades. The faintest of all is the little girl. And the husbands, who will not go home until their wives do, remain a short distance away, six stars in the constellation Taurus. You can find them shining up at their wives, wishing maybe that things had turned out a different way. -Monache Indian legend
"You lied. You gave me your word." ---------------------------------------- In most of the aspects in life, we will fail. It is just a matter of 'when', 'where', and 'how'. And in most cases for me, i experience them at one time. Be it kinship, friendship, relationship, or studies, i always get its worst impact from my failure, all at once. It has been planned so well by God. Today, i went through two aspects. The agony, the selfishness, the jealousy in me. By locking myself up in my room won't help to solve the dispute or tied up feelings. But there's no other way i can confide myself in, but that, 'cos it helps me to sort out my thoughts. I didn't meant to hurt you. Give us both a new lease of life together?

Neither body nor mind would ever be fully clean of it.. "The time is short now. You must come. You must come to me. Destiny can't be denied, a spell won't be broken. Without you with me, he'll win." "I have loved you throughout time. I am bound to you, throughout time."
