[ listen to the rain ] [12 Feb 2012|01:50am] [ mood | happy, kinda ] List of things that make me happy - sitting in the sun - drinking a hot drink in a mug on a cold, rainy day (bonus if it's snowing) - going out to cycle - reading sandman comics - reading in a nice place - going to the beach - compliments - dressing up and wearing make up (hehe guilty pleasure of mine) - going to the movies! - hugging - getting someone's phone call unexpectedly - dancing - sitting in my clean room - happy songs - watching America's Funniest Home Videos and laughing like crazy - making awesome travel plans hehe - listening to the BBC or This American Life lying on my bed, with the window open, the sunlight streaming in, and the wind blowing ^^ - cycling down by the lake on a windy day (: - walking in the sunset thunderstorm with an umbrella and some quiet songs, just because. Must increase this list as time goes by. :D

[ listen to the rain ] [12 May 2012|07:34am] I love games. Freecell taught me not to look for the aces first, you just need to rearrange everything into neat stacks from K downwards and you'll automatically win the game. Although sometimes you need to accelerate by isolating the aces. That racing car game taught me not to hyperventilate and just keep a steady hand when things don't go your way, and to anticipate the crazy hairpins. But reversi is the best of all. When playing against the computer, don't react and play a defensive game. Instead, make your move when the time is opportune and paint the opponent into a corner. And team games, I love to be competitive. But I draw the line at deliberately sabotaging someone else's because that just sad. No need to blow out someone else's flame so yours can maybe shine brighter xD

[ listen to the rain ] [29 Apr 2012|02:02am] I'm so, so deliriously happy.

[ listen to the rain ] how to push toothpaste back into the tube [25 Apr 2012|01:06pm] Haha. Application writing. The art of respectfully asking for something without coming across as completely desperate xD I have to say, this year has been a year unlike any other.

[ listen to the rain ] [15 Apr 2012|11:12pm] Look forward to the future! With bravery and a big smile :D

[29 Mar 2012|07:44pm] I want a hug.

[ listen to the rain ] [03 Mar 2012|04:49pm] Ready to take this and run? Let's go. We'll come back when we've seen everything, and from the looks of it, it'll be awhile before we come back (;

[ listen to the rain ] [05 Feb 2012|04:04pm] What was that about not liking gloomy days? Keiko Matsui on a rainy day. (:

[ listen to the rain ] "Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time.” [23 Dec 2011|01:26pm] [ mood | (: ] I still have the bottle of perfume I made in J2 during a perfume making elective from then. Opening that bottle, smelling it against the warmth of skin, it definitely brought back memories. Like remembering a home from far far away in time. Anyway I decided to write this earlier because my exams are coming and I will no longer have time to post. This year has been one of the most eventful in my life, one of the most painful too, but also where I discovered unrealised sources of strength. Heartbreak and separation is but a part of life, and no matter how you try to avoid it, or how afraid you are of it, it doesn't matter because it will happen. But when it does, it's okay. Things happen for a reason, and even in your despondence you can look up and hope for something better because this was probably خير for you (good for you). Anyway I think I'm on the way to reaching a sufficient distance, to reach some perspective, so it's okay. When I wake up that morning on that day (and it's coming much sooner than I expected), I will be far into my new chapter, and far away from the stories of old. I'm changing, and entertaining things I never thought I would before. I'm still the same stubborn person, but my horizons are far more open than when I came here. No matter what happened, I'm learning not to regret anything I already did because something good always came out of it, that's why I'm who I am today. On a separate note, those who loved me, and those who love me -- thank you -- and may God give me the opportunity to love you just like you did.

[ listen to the rain ] [25 Sep 2011|11:11am] Enough is enough.

[ listen to the rain ] if you could see it then you'd understand [10 Jul 2011|11:54am] The best memories are those you make by yourself.

[ listen to the rain ] [12 Mar 2011|09:55pm] 你见，或者不见我 我就在那里 不悲不喜； 你念，或者不念我 情就在那里 不来不去； 你爱，或者不爱我 爱就在那里 不增不减； 你跟，或者不跟我 我的手就在你手里 不舍不弃； 来我的怀里 或者 让我住进你的心里 默然　相爱 寂静　欢喜 非诚勿扰II ( Translation )

[ listen to the rain ] [14 Feb 2011|10:48pm] Lalu menangislah si duyung jelita Puteri tunggal raja samudra Meratap mimpi buaian lena Disaksi kebisuan batu dermaga Disaksi amuk ombak bergelora Gara-gara terbangkit dari mimpi indah...

[ listen to the rain ] [05 Jul 2010|08:45pm] Hi, well, I've finally decided to shift journals from my old journal. After almost... 8 years of having the same journal and after almost 2500 posts, I've finally decided to move to a new place! With the same shoes, just longer hair;

[ listen to the rain ] [05 Jul 2010|07:54pm] The past and present wilt - I have fill'd them, emptied them. And proceed to fill my next fold of the future. Listener up there! what have you to confide to me? Look in my face while I snuff the sidle of evening, (Talk honestly, no one else hears you, and I stay only a minute longer.) Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.) I concentrate toward them that are nigh, I wait on the door-slab. Who has done his day's work? who will soonest be through with his supper? Who wishes to walk with me? Will you speak before I am gone? will you prove already too late? *** The spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me, he complains of my gab and my loitering. I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable, I sound my barbaric yaws over the roofs of the world. The last scud of day holds back for me, It flings my likeness after the rest and true as any on the shadow'd wilds, It coaxes me to the vapor and the dusk. I depart as air, I shake my white locks at the runaway sun, I effuse my flesh in eddies, and drift it in lacy jags. I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love, If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles. You will hardly know who I am or what I mean, But I shall be good health to you nevertheless, And filter and fibre your blood. Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged, Missing me one place search another, I stop somewhere waiting for you. - Walt Whitman
