Happy Ending

The funny thing about this song by Mika titled "Happy Ending" is that it really isn't very happy at all.

It doesn't end nor suggest happiness together but rather suggests that rather the happiness of being apart.

"This is the hardest story that I've ever told"

Yes Mika, I agree. It is a hard story to tell.

In a few hours it'll all be over and we can all go back to living our own lives free of care. Perhaps all of us, maybe not for some I don't know.

"and I....feel as though im wasting everyday"

Yes i know how you feel Mika, I felt that too.

"This is the way you left me, I'm not pretending, no hope, no love ,no glory , no happy ending..."

Yes this is exactly how i feel now.

I know how you feel exactly Mika.

Better for it to be over then left in a hanging state...in a few hours it'll all be over. By the break of dawn, all this should have come to an end. I can then concentrate on life after Poly without anything bugging me. Its funny how I feel nothing at all now, all but an empty void. I'm not sad or broken up. I'm fine.

I've learnt two valuable lessons from you and I hope you will accept that.

This story really has a "Happy Ending"

Anywhere

BIBV is not going to be such a pushover after all..I just looked at the past year papers and now I'm grimacing at the thought of doing the damn paper. Looks damn tough.

I'm gonna step up to it though. No paper's gonna take me down.

People say the world is a cruel place but I say our own minds are more cruel. The things that people say are nothing compared to the moments we are left with just ourselves.

At night when you're alone and you're lying down to sleep at night. What are the things that cross your mind?

In the deep recesses of your mind there are some things you wish you could stop thinking about but you can't cause it just keeps going on in your head. It'd drive you mentally insane if you didn't just fall asleep on the spot.

That's the kind of torture that im sure many of us go through at least once. Its not someone torturing us, its ourselves. In our heads we are prisoners to our own thoughts.

Today I feel like writing another letter…


 

Dear S,

I want you to know that I'd do almost about anything for you. Every time when there are those quiet moments, I wonder what to say because I wonder what you're thinking about.

You're like a pandora's box. Filled with the unimaginable and curious.

One of things that I both like and dislike simultaneously is your ability to be unpredictable. Your unpredictability keeps me guessing what you're trying to say or do but it also stops me from getting the reassurance I need.

Today, when you told me your paper was bad and that you hoped that you could postpone your internship to a later time, I felt bad for you. That you even had those thoughts. I wouldn't say that out loud but if could take that frustration away and make it disappear, I would.

Today, when I sent you home and I called my friend. You said how all IJ girls sound so polite. You were an IJ girl once and I believe under the tough exterior you put up, you're as nice as any other.

Do you know how it makes me feel to hear you say thank you?

You sound really good and you make me feel good about myself. That one night when three of us when for pizza? I opened the car door for you and closed it and you said thank you.

To hear you laugh in all your happiness, It makes me so happy. To see your smile, it makes me want to smile too.

There are times when you are really polite and sweet, that it makes me feel really happy to be the one to see your smile and to hear your voice.

No matter what anyone may say or what you think of yourself..this is what I have to say.

You ARE beautiful, you have a brilliant mind that is capable of many things. No matter how unwomanly you think yourself as, in my eyes you are a beautiful, charming girl who's as worthy of love as any other woman out there.

--

To my readers, I'm not writing out these to attract attention or to give good reading material. I'm writing it here because it's a place where she can find it if she tried and because it makes me feel better to have said what I wanted to say then to bottle it all up. I hope my readers out there understand what I'm going through and why I do this.

BIBV and Genomics are up next. Two more papers between the end of poly life and the start of a new life.

Bring it on.

Another one again…

Sometimes I feel really bad when people talk to me and they become angry..or sound like..because it makes me feel like it's my fault.

Dear S,

I don't know if I've done anything that may have upset or incurred some anger, if I have I'm sorry if I fail to comprehend what you ask of me.

If there's anything that I just cannot take is that someone's unhappiness was due to my actions or my lack of thereof. So whether or not you are unhappy because of me, I'm sorry.

--

It seems foolish to type all my regrets and things I would wish to say to her here but for now this is where they must remain. If only you'd understand.

Soon…

No idea what to call this post…

Today, woke up for church and since I was going to the columbarium I thought hell, why not give danny G a call and see if he needs a ride.

This is how the dialogue went….

Me: Hey Danny, need a lift? I'm driving

Dan: SHIT! I just woke up! Late damn it…

Me: Uh dude…its 6.30pm, you're FAR from late..

Haha funny anyway he made it to church on time cuz of me haha.

Maybe I should call more people next time haha. Random acts of kindness haha

Well after Brennan's farewell brekkie, went back to the choir room to hear his speech and stuff like that..had to rush off to Mandai though…rushed there..stayed awhile sent mum to jurong…

I didn't intend to stay long but guess who ended up staying till 3 and coming home at 4pm instead…and I still have a proteo paper tmr…

I'm gonna miss you around Brennan, my bro and one of my best of friends. May your life in Australia reap you many rewards my friend.

Joven was really down today because of what happened during his V-Day re-confession.

I'm scared of what might happen in the days to come…

Anyway, I guess I need to write this out…


 

Dear S,

For who you are and what you do I will try my best to understand you. I may not be the perfect guy with the best build and brains but I want to make that up for the dedication I'd give you, if you gave me a chance.

I thank you for the drink, which you bought for me yesterday, you didn't even ask for the money back. My manners got lost in the process, I didn't tell you thank you.

I thank you for at least TRYING to remember the days of my exams, that already makes me happy that you tried to remember.

Though if there's one thing I wished you to understand about me, is my need to show that I care for the ones I love.

Even if I'm stating the obvious, it makes me feel good if you accept my reassurance for your problems because it's how I show I care.

I can't blame you because you don't know my feelings for you.

Tomorrow is my turn to have a paper, I don't expect you to be physically in school to wait for me but I hope in heart and mind, you remember me and what I've done for you and being there for you these many days.

Regardless of what happens, I'll be there for you always, just tell me.

Bring it on proteo…I can take the heat..

Everyday

For any readers of this rather quiet blog, or if I'm just writing so I can look by on this many years from now and think of it.

I really want to put this somewhere where the intended target may probably read it but I guess I put it here for you my friends and readers to read.

In the book "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus" by John Gray, he mentions how love letters are really important to get out all that you need to say.

Today I'm gonna try it out because I want to tell someone this but because now's not a good time, I'll write this for you. You may see it, you may not.
For my friends you may or may not want to read further. For those of you who know the addressee of this love letter, please keep it to yourselves, she is a real person and like I said now's not the right time.

"Dear S,

I promised myself I'd do as much as I could do before I actually have to tell you anything,

Every time I say I'd send you to school, I'd do something for you.

I wouldn't think a moment as long as it was legal and within my power.

Every day when I wake up to do the things I promise, I ask myself why am I doing this?

That small voice in the head tells me "You're doing cause you care and smitten by her",

The other more vengeful voice always says "You're wasting your time, she's not appreciative, she's got no idea why you're doing all this for her"

I would like myself to always believe that you appreciate what I've done and what I do for you but sometimes it gets hard to believe because you don't seem to understand why.

I don't blame you because maybe you'd think I'd do this for anyone but here I'm gonna tell you the truth, I do this solely for you.

The more I do for you, the more I question whether I'm just wasting my time.

I'm already going very out of my way to do what I do for you but you never seem to realize that.

I want to show you the kind of dedication I would give you beyond this level but I'm afraid that you'd either pull away or that you'd take me for granted.

I hope that somewhere somehow, maybe with divine intervention, that you'll understand this and show your appreciation.

In about two weeks, I'll probably be telling you the truth and this message would mean nothing by then.

For everything you are, you do, say, like and dislike, all the comments and criticisms you've given me, all the small things you've shared with me since that one day where a random act of kindness allowed us to become better friends. I don't only treasure you as a friend as a matter of fact perhaps maybe more than a friend.

You're someone I would like to get to know even better and perhaps maybe by then we'll figure out whether a future with an "us" is even possible.
You're one of the only people I would be proud to say I know quite abit about and without having to fish them out from some obscure place but because you told me and I told you things about myself in return.
Even with all your cold answers sometimes and sometimes crude statements, I take all of it in stride, it hurts my pride sometimes but I put myself down so that I can only see your good.

I'd pray and hope for you to give me even one chance to prove myself if I haven't done that already.

I hope to tell you the entire truth about how we even got to this stage, how that one random act of kindness could even happen. None but only my closest and best friends know what happened that led to here.

I'll be seeing you tomorrow, to send you for your RFA paper.

Hopefully before I tell you all of these, you'd realize why I do all this just for you."

--

If there's one thing that I think I've accomplished by this, it's getting all that pent up feelings out into text.

Till the day comes. There's little more I can do.

I've got more than just one thing to worry about.

Restless

Feeling incredibly restless at the moment…its like the exam pre-feeling is damn…cannot tahan sia…


 

Just some stuff I've been thinking about.


 

Ignorance or Bliss

We live our lives on a pivot
We're always looking for balance
When it falls out of proportion we tilt
Do we like it out of proportion or do we stay this way and let this be our new proportion?
The changes we make in our lives or are forced to make, force us change our proportions on a frequent basis.
So who is the wiser?
The one who makes frequent changes or the one who does nothing?
Is Ignorance bliss? Or Ignorance the beginning of the end?

New times around

Welcome 2010,

This post is hugely delayed because I've had better things to do than write on a digital diary or memoir.

2010 has brought my special things so far…with all the misfortunes of 2009, I've gotten a lot of things and more and I'm not gonna take them for granted.

I thank the people who have shown me great support whenever I needed it.

Now running into the final bend of polytechnic life..I'm gonna miss the life but its gonna be time to grow up and move on the new stage in life. Life as a teenager is coming to an end as I fast approach the big 20.

Funny how life in the last 19 years has gone by so quick…I wish I could remember as much of it as I could…

Back to work…It was a great night…thanks for teaching me how to use my chopsticks properly :)
