01.

Dear Greeny Breeny,

It's funny how crushes work. Its coming close to 7 years since I've liked you. Dont worry no obsession but no one else has even come close to making me fall head over heels like i did with you.

Sometimes I wonder what made me fall for you. I guess it happened the first day in our english class when you walk..no scratch that stroll in late to class and all heads turn to see who had the nerve to come to class late the first day. Somehow that feeling is indescribable...a rush came over me felt like I knew you from somewhere before but that is impossible. We're both from different ends of the country one in the far end north while the other is far down south.

I guess the saddest part about me falling for you is not the impossibility of being with you...which is true but the inferiority I have acquired through this past 8 years from being an 18 year old girl to one who is turning 25 in less than a month. Having a close friend in college then who was the most sort after girl made me realize you will never liked me. I have nothing to offer compared to my friend who was the full package, pretty, smart, kind and everything you could ever want.

I read this article or rather a post secret posting on a guy falling for a girl for 6 years and never had the guts to tell her...and reading the comments made me realize many of us are in the same boat. Secretly, in my heart I wish this guy would read the comments, which he may not have seeing that it's in post secret archives and not the main page..that he would approach her even if it's been 6 years...sometimes it takes some effort to achieve what we really want. Maybe there would be a happy ending to his story if he did. It's amazing how a small picture could touch so many hearts and make others pour their heart out to others.

Unfortunately....I would never have the guts to say it out loud...Its been a touch 4 years living in the States but I wish you all the happiness in the world..........

100.

Because my greatest talent is to fall for the wrong guys always...and I can't seem to break the cycle

Slumber

I woke up from my slumber

to find the remnants of memories

hung up glaringly on the wall

I screamed,

only to hear the pathetic echo of my hollow voice

This room has long been empty

I have slept a thousand years.

The End.

To cling upon a mist...makes falling down hurts the most...it brings the world down...to know that you could try as hard as you wish to grasp upon it...merely feeling it slipping away....slight breeze...slight memory...

I hate feeling this way but I did and still do now knowing what I had just known...knowing that what was once a clinging memory is now a mere blur....for this is truly the end...two worlds apart...never to brush shoulder upon again...

Hate-hate-hate-hate-love

For the past few days, I have been bumping into people that I met from this course I really hated when I was in school.

I remembered how much I condemned the course for being like real-world society (well, you can say I'm autistic and antisocial).
Every lesson was like a networking session where people put on fake smiles and make small talk, just to get a partner for the next assignment (There's this rule that you have to work with totally different people for each assignment) And I hated networking and all bonds fake. To me, putting on a fake smile is like a chore, making conversation with people who you don't care about, or conversing on topics doesn't interest you is a painful task.

After the course, I realised it wasn't that bad after all. Hey, I've learnt so much more than just sitting down listening to the droning away of the lecturers. I've gained plenty hands on experience, that has proved to be very useful now. And most surprisingly, I found that my classmates are actually nice peeps. They wished me happy birthday, even though I only talked to them once or twice (even though it might be a just a social networking thing) They waved and said hi when I walked past them, and when I bump into them, we actually did catch up and talk about what we've been doing recently. It's a nice, warm and fuzzy feeling. Especially when you take into account the fact that, here in school, people you've worked with in your previous classes basically just forgot you existed once the class is over, they can't even recognise you when you walk past them in school!

I was pondering about this when I remembered this group I worked with in one of my classes. It wasn't the most pleasant experience working with them, because I ended up doing everything, and I remembered grumbling and complaining to myself that I was down in luck to have met such group members. Yet again surprisingly, we kept in touch and met for lunch once in school, even though we are not taking the class anymore.

If I was given one more chance, I would have taken the course more seriously, went to classes more often and get to know more of my classmates. But who knows, even if time did turn back, I might still be the same old me with the same old attitude hating the course.

It's kind of intriguing that the things that you hated the most turn into memories and experience that you cherished the most. And things that appeal to you, things that you thought you would love, turns out to be no big deal after all. It might be the theory of relativity but I guess, life is irony, after all.

Being Busy..

It's scary when you are busy coping with work and getting on with life.. You find yourself slowly robbed of certain things. Things leaving you one by one, and you can't do anything but watch them disappear. From something trivial like forgetting the name of your friend's big crush whom he has been talking about day in and day out.. to those precious memories you once held so dear, and those acts of impulse and burst of feelings. Nothing seems to touch my heart anymore. I try so hard to remember who I am, to dig out the remnants of my heart, to feel once again. But I realise, I'm trying just for the sake of trying, feeling just for the sake of feeling. I've become numb, maybe temporarily, too busy to think or to feel. Or maybe I'm just escaping under the grand magnificent excuse of being busy. I'm watching a slow death. A part of me died. I don't know if it's good or bad. I don't know me anymore.

Things I'm so gonna do when I get my pay!

1. Book my Taiwan trip (as you know, I took my Taiwan fund to pay my bank loan T_T)
2. Clear my piling debts (big amount from Mum, small dinner debt frm friend)
3. Pay my freakin Internet bills (I haven't paid for like erm.. half year? My fren is paying for me now)
4. Pay my phone bill (Haven't paid for one month only.. ^^"v)
5. Get a haircut!! (My hair is like lalang now sobz)
6. Buy a nice bottle of body shampoo (The Victoria's Secret one finish already...no money to buy new one)
7. Treat myself to something nice
8. Should I treat back my frens who have been belanja-ing me all this while? (see la I cheapskate, freeloader.. sighz.. =_=)

Hope I get my pay soon.. if not this list will definitely get longer sigh... pray pray good luck to me!

So this is it...

You'll never realize the meaning of lonely as it only creeps upon you as you sit in a corner far behind the back of the building hallway....as loud, cheers, laughters, and chatters fill the other end of the hall...and that's when you realize;

"oh it's lunchtime already? boy I'm hungry"

and trotters along to the loud noisy hallway,blending in the atmosphere and the sea of people,

"for belly filling joy"

Seriously,...might have been that I've lived too much by myself...that it doesn't bother me as much anymore about the art of mingling... It might just dawn upon me how much I miss having company to get my schedule up straight as exhaustion seeps upon me.

leave home to catch the bus to campus 6 miles away, attend classes one after another, still getting lost along the way every once in a while, slowly leafing through my file, in search of the campus map provided during late students orientation only to be kindly asked by passerby if I needed help with direction before my eyes could skim through the map.

All worn out by the end of class, would then trudge home and up the flights of stairs, get changed, and lay on bed...lifeless...ahh bed time comes early this past week. I'll then be dead to the world till the clock strikes twelve...ironic how uncinderellaish my body would awaken itself....then off i would go to the bathroom for one quick shower...

Upon returning to my room...I'm more or less often greeted by a knock on my foor....housmie just dropping by to say hi....then it's back to staring at notes, textbooks, assignments.....and hurried pen scrawls etching upon paper with chicken scrawls and pen smudges to complete the day's work....in an effort to beat time at it's own game...

ahh....then off the cycle begins....of a brand new day....

This past week, I've realized how my infatuation has slowly seeped away and my infatuation towards greeny has slowly dwindled down to nothingness..as though it too, has been chucked far into the trash bins as I cleared out and sorted my life to move 480 miles way just one week before....so much so I can't differentiate my feelings towards it anymore...no sadness no pain, just silence and so I lied back then when you asked when I claimed I no longer felt an ounce of pain, just silence...of infatuation towards him then, as it was like a silent addiction....which only creep it's way up in those cold bitter winter nights...when the mind is but an empty vast of mindless thoughts...

So here's a toast...to a brand new beginning, a slate wiped clean...and here's one last toast, to the diminishing infatuation....may you find the world of happiness in your life along the journey of life greeny....

Goodbye Hopes, So long Dreams.....

Yeah,I am being over reacting as dreams aren't exactly dashed completely.....BUT....

I am sitting in a cafe now and staring at the soup I ordered while sipping from my soda cup....

It's hard to eat when I'm sad...whoever eats when they are down, kudos to you.....cause I can't do it=(...my stomach tightens up and the sight of food makes me sick....

Got a lot of errands to run....will be so tired when night falls but things need to get done with, and what better way to occupy myself than having a negative cloud loom above me....

escaping...

Today I did something which I knew wasn't right, but I can't help myself... I was supposed to present my poster at my deparment's symposium. But I went there, put my poster up, then ran away...I don't know, I just felt so pathetic and miserable there. People are like networking with each other, talking about their research and future collaborations, bosses too busy hooking up with other big shots to even notice me.. I was just standing there alone, looking like an idiot, nobody knows me and nobody bothers to (I'm a small fry ma). The worse part is, I don't feel like trying also, I don't feel like faking a smile and talking about things which don't interest me at all, pretending to be impressed or to be interested. I hate networking sessions. I ran away too during breaktimes when I attended a symposium few weeks ago when people are supposed to network and mingle with each other. Call me proud, or antisocial, or anything.. I don't like talking and getting to know people just for the sake of doing it. I don't like faking smiles when I'm not interested. I think, more importantly, I don't care about DNAs or microarrays or proteins. Maybe I'm running away from the fact that I'm not interested in research at all, the fact that research is not what I intend to do for my whole life. I evade topics regarding my future phd research, I evade responsibilities related to it also. I have second thoughts all the time, that I might switch jobs once I'm done with my loan, that I might just teach without doing a phd, that I might quit after masters... I chose money over passion. I chose my biggest dream over a smaller one. I don't even know if I'm making the correct decision, or whether I have the determination to stick with this decision...

embarassing moment of the day

Lol blubb, I told you last Friday then I went for this workshop right? Forgot to tell you this very embarassing and idiotic moment of mine T_T

Hrm.. so my boss is supposed to conduct the workshop and I'm supposed to go there, sit down, observe and learn. So before I went to the venue, I gave my boss a call since he's not there yet to remind him. My boss has a reputation for always being late, so I tot he won't come so soon mah... so they were serving refreshments there, and since I'm waiting, I took a plate and started filling it up with sandwiches and cakes. I was happily munching away and making small talk to the girl doing the registration when someone called me from behind. Turns out to be my colleague (sort of la), and he said my boss is inside the auditorium already and he can't find me, so he asked my colleague to come out and look for me. Soon after, my boss came out... and I looked at them while munching on my sandwich... I feel like burying my head into the hole la..... soooooo paiseh....

Haiyah I kiasu so must post again hiak hiak haiyak

Hohoho....working and not getting paid is a good thing for soul cleansing la cough cough....charity and volunteer work right?

Haiz tonight cannot procrastinate anymore...must pack like i'm an immigrant la....=x....cause tomorrow last day<=i pay till 13th means move out 14th right!!!like hotel right!!!!haiz....

Then by thursday i must get back to usual normal mode cause school is starting soon....so must guai guai sleep normal mode time....

eh i got nothing else to sayT_T...except yesterday while sitting in the cafe i was at war with the smokers*silently la somehow smokers always look very macho scary laT_T or very garang a bit okay T_T*....i was sitting at the only available table with a plug near it and it was in a non smoking section closest to smoking section and i dislike how to had to come closest to the barrier of the division and puff towards my direction as though i deserve to die earlier than them so they bomb me with smokeT_T

Me turn to talk =P

Blubbs.. Long time never see you online, yeah let's keep in touch with this blog. My turn to talk.. cough. clears throat.

Well, for my side, school has just started this Monday. So I gave my virgin practical lesson on the first day of school. Was so nervous the day before that I couldn't sleep! For some reason I felt a little depressed too, on the day before, thinking to myself what mess have I gotten myself into =( But well, the first lesson turned out fine, it was pretty fun actually, torturing students (oopss, I mean guiding them). And the students are pretty cheeky and responsive too =) Felt a sense of satisfaction after teaching the first lesson. Hrmm.. after all, life is about moving out of your comfort zone and trying new things and meeting new challenges, that's what I've always believed..

On a not-so-good note, my application for Singapore Permanent Resident is delayed because of this rule stating that your appointment date must not be before you apply for PR. So the 1 hour trip I spent going to the immigration office, and the half an hour I've spent queuing up to get a ticket was wasted. I have to get the appointment date postponed (means I start to get paid later!!) and I have to go back to the immigration office tomorrow. Argh.. I don't know, I just felt like crying on the spot when the lady told me that I'll have to change the date before they will accept my application.

It's like the more and harder I work, the less I get paid and the poorer I am. I feel so helpless. I have already started work in school in July unofficially, but the office told me they can't pay me between the month of July till the date of my official appointment as a full-time staff because I can't be considered as one, and they're still looking for other avenues to pay me (probably as a part-time staff or something). My loan has started running and so now I'm basically borrowing money from my mother to pay off my loan and my rent.. on top of that, BOTH my ex-employers (the kiwi one and the meanine ang moh) still owe me pay even though I keep on reminding them to. It feels so sucky when all the money you've worked so hard to earn just evaporated into thin air, and you'll have to borrow to get on with life. And the fact that your ex-meanine ang moh boss, who agreed to pay you after hurling so much words of abuse, just didn't reply to any of your e-mails, blocked you on msn and stopped your email account didn't help at all. I don't know. Seems like I may be better off rotting at home, since I don't get paid for anything anyway, and I'm wasting money traveling to and fro my workplace, eating lunch etc =_= This just sucks, and I got so depressed on the journey back to work. But never mind me, I forgot about it soon after lunch..

Anyways, I decided to lodge a complaint against my boss in the ministry of manpower. I do hope that the employment act covers part time employees as well. I don't really want to do it, I feel so bad, but at the same time I'm so sick and tired of sending e-mails to get my pay with no reply whatsover. I've sent him a final reminder to pay me and told him that I'll go to the ministry next week. Maybe he'll reply me with some mean words again.. Bahh.. This is your Jean, with money going out but no money coming in, though she goes for work everyday. Do you still wanna hug me T_T

And it shall play it's role....

So finally this blog is serving it's true purpose...the true intention we had for it which was to keep in touch with one another daily when we're unable to keep in touch with what not of our rubbish nonsense through msn....

I am currently in the cafe now holding my bladder la okay!!!!you noe if i give up this seat i won't be able to come back to one with an available plug okay!!!!<=kiasu la....

Weather has taken to a change..it's much colder now....and the leaves are turning colour....while the flowers mom planted while she was here is slowly beginning to dry up....no more cheerful cluster of colours greeting me each time i open my doors to leave home...

spend the weekend cooking for friends...then helping another move the rest of my saturday....was superbly exhausted....I cooked enough to feed an army in africa okay....but pictures had to be taken with my phone as this klutz left her camera at home....

Why did i cook so much?i have no clue...so i made for them:

nasi lemak with chicken curry and sambal belacan long beans, kiam chai thng, milo swirl cupcake with peanut butter and chocolate chip cookie crumble frosting, ginger and honey cupcake, victorian sponge sandwich cake with cherry filling, apricot jam cookie sandwich, and apricot glaze cupcakes top with one measly almond cause i can't leave my cupcakes naked can I?

it's been a week since i last talk to you...and I am hereby admitting my withdrawal symptoms of msn huggles...because I had shamelessly for no apparent reason just screamed out hug jean subconsciously in public out loudT_T....

I've also learnt that I am the exact counterpart needed to encounter kids according to my friends and their familiesT_T because I apparently am able to work well with retorting their cheekiness...and fit right in with them lahT_T

I am also too short in comparison to a 9 year old kid as when we but hit i ended up getting the rough side of it and almost toppled overT_T...i am just as tall as the nine year old girl...

It's getting cold in the cafe so much so that I am all ready to just grab anyone and hug themT_T<=seriously.no.i'm not that insane...but it is without a doubt cold.

My life is nowhere now....i still have no clue if i am moving out of state or not but for sure..i'll be homeless in 2 days time...=( and I've yet to pack....talk about procrastination eh..le sigh..tonight is going to be a long night....

So blubbie...how was your day?

Gratitude

Time waits for no man...Once it flies past, there no point of return..no fast forwarding...no rewinding...

Certain mistakes and decisions made now or in the past stays for life...nothing will ever change them.Ever.

Words said, actions taken can never be taken back.

For each ticking second that passes by, is every second of life lived.

So no point of regretting actions which has been done for...

Eh blubbie...I have too much free time in my hands these past few days therefore I've been working on details such as financial planning on our future dreams....Before you accuse me of being long winded I do have to tell you how grateful I am to have you around=)...No one could find a greater best friend in the whole wide world okay(on a side note since I am gracefully cough cough praising you, could you please take me in as a third wheel if i were never to marry cough cough and adopt me hoho). Thanks for always considering all my wacko whims on our dreams....most of of thanks for always being around in spirit and words la(msn cough) daily....you have no idea how excited i get just by having you around to chat with daily(eh why does this sound a tad bit like an obsession).

Seriously, who could find a bestie blubbie who would fulfill my dreams with me, so much so as to compromise our future situations years from now...make plans with me for decades to come...always willing to give a lending hand when I need it...console me..hoho....scold me when I really need none(haiz things i do for you too seeee lah)

If all works out as plan, we'll be able to work out everything in a matter of 4 years....and hope that things would fall into place one by one=)

I somehow stumbled upon some old primary friends blogs...to see them so happy together still in the same group after this many years brings back a little envy in me...i too wish i had that kind of friendship...but who am I to complain when I have two greatest girls which ironically are on two opposite end of the country..one north one south...like a magnet....haiz...

Words could not described my gratitude towards the two of you....and how much I miss having you guys around....

I memang super emo this days and I can't explain why...err blame it on the ever changing weather...

So lots of hugggggggggggggggggs....

Eh eh extra side note to the best friend/sister/auntyla in the north eh don't worry if you planning on getting married anytime soon right...i will get the next flight back okay dont worry......*all expenses sponsored for by the bestie in the south....cough cough

Time to grow up

Lol, since you talked about growing up and facing the big bad world.. I shall talk about growing up too (Actually you copy me lah, I wanted to write about growing up one.. but who knows when I log in your post was already there, bang!).

Today I had a long, long talk with my dear friend (he was unexceptionally talkative today). We talked about how ourselves and people around us have changed over these few years, or rather grown up. He used to go after girls based on looks, but now even when he see pretty girls he don't feel like going after them already. He said he has matured and now, he's not shy in asking girls out anymore, nor does he mind being single. We observed that our friend, who used to be horny and desperate, is much more settled down now. And me, I used to be attracted to bad boys who are wild, fun-loving or who do not care a shit about the world, but now I realise I will be contented with an average, normal guy who just cares and will give me support and security. It's funny to see people who you have known forever evolve and change. It's like you're hanging out with a different bunch of people now, and you feel the pride like how you watch your son graduate or something like that. Gone were the wild days where we used to walk home together everyday talking about everything under the sun, the days where we used to spend our recess scaring our classmates through the window, the days where we were constantly rebelling our teachers... Yes, indeed, youth is wild, youth is madness, youth is not having to care about how the world will turn out tomorrow, though I couldn't see it at that time. As we grow up, we are handed doses after doses of reality, of competition, of survival, while we lock our true selves, all our innocence and dreams, into this big chest called 'memories of youth', to be put away, never to be opened again. We wake up everyday preparing for yet another battle to face the world and strive to emerge unscathed. Yes, it's tiring to face the world, it's depressing to see your youth and innocence shipped out of your sight. But, though lonely at times, I realize throughout this years, there are friends who are always beside me, silently, supporting me without question. Friends who doesn't care who and what will I become tomorrow, whom I can be completely comfortable with without the need for pretense. These are people who keep me going, giving me hope that life, is indeed beautiful. Especially dear friend whom I talked to today, thanks for always being there (though you probably will never admit it haha!) I really do appreciate it and you're always be an important friend in my life =)

Oops, I strayed from my intended topic. Anyway, seeing my friends' transformation, I guess it's time for me to grow up too. Maybe it's time for me to discard my silly pride, opinions and prejudices... and to pursue the things that really matter to me in life. These few months have really been a crash course for me, to learn about reality, love and life..

Are we there yet?

So this is it....here lies our future...

Gone were the days when we would be happily running around making silly faces...hopping around*though i am still very much a kid at 22 cough cough*

What would the outcome be?Would our dreams come through, or would they be but a mere spec high above...unreachable...a gaze to the distance?

Now that it's a new beginning of lives without financial support from family....the true meaning of standing on one's own two feet...

Financial woes....of budgeting, planning for the future...

down payments soon to come....families to support along the way sometime in the future...

An unexplainable emotion....a mixture of excitement tied down by a looming fear....

Honestly blubbie, I have mix feelings....I hate to admit it but I was quite happy when you could accept my decision on postponing our plans for our ventures and in being housmies again to a mere 4 years compared to the 2 years planned ahead..

Reason being is I am not sure what I truly want to do yet...as in living here to earn more first so that we could have enough to work our plans around with...

Or give in to homesickness...and return in less than 3 years....

So is growing up all about making decisions?

Four years...and I'll be back=)...back to my roots...
