Out in the cold and in the dark, hanging by a thread, I search for answers as to why things are the way they are now. I know they will not be found, for they are not mine to give, but for some reason I try anyway, as if maybe it's all my fault after all and I should be the one to make it right.

And now I'm re-evaluating everything, because this has led me to wonder how much I really mean to all the people I know. Do I mean as much to them as they do to me? What are the dynamics of these relationships? With whom does the balance of power lie?

Should I really be so pragmatic and mercenary? I used to think not, but maybe, that was my mistake. Because really, we always expect something from our friends in return don't we? It might not be much, but that expectation still exists.

No expectations, no disappointments. That's so easy to say but the truth is, if you search yourself hard enough, you'll find that you do have expectations anyway. And it is when you feel that these expectations are a minimum and yet not fulfilled that there is the greatest disappointment.

Actions speak louder than words, or so the saying goes. Sometimes, inaction speaks volumes too.

So where do things stand? The answers don't lie with me. So I'm back to where I started from anyway, slave to the whims and fancies of others - sitting on my hands, staring blankly into space, with no control over what happens.

I've given it my all, done everything I could. Sometimes that simply isn't enough. If there was more that could have been done, someone tell me what that was, for I don't see it.


i feel weird at times cos i find everybody's attitude changing ever so frequently that im really confused abt everything and i really do not understand how the human mind works

one moment good the next spilt second, all gone bad
no reason no justification just gone bad
im just hanging by the moment as things pass

really, when will all these crap end? tell me.

Smiles

sorry i cant do much

so with regards to the dental problem issue nelson had, i emailed my pastor abt aunty stephanie who is a dentist and asked if he cud see her asap since the earliest appt he cud get was in june but pastor said that aunt stephanie's clinic has been taken over by her exhusband due to the divorce and stuff and now i feel so bad for asking her and all , sigh so hopefully a kind dentist will make some time for an appt or anything!

so yeaps sorry i cant help much in anything! BAH!

so monday has been awesome! maybe it was due to the fact that i've had a good weekend, i started this week with a chirpy mood =) and im happy with everything! likee really happy! i did have the crazy thought of going back home for a week after exams if i can find a proj for hons but then again, i think i'd be wasting alot of money! so i guess i shouldnt la huh?

dried chicken curry for dinner ! YUM-MY!

so it was celebration part 2 but this time with nelson

went to wagamama in the city! and the most crucial and impt thing , i forgot to take a picture of lydia opening the car boot and with her flowers!!!!!!!! GOSH!

anyhows, pictures up from lunch

last but not least, a group photo =)


awesome lunch once again!

k so after which we proceeded to shop abit b4 going to royal brisbane to check if they have a dentist cos nel's wisdom tooth hurts

so i got down the car alone while they waited and i went into the reception but they dropped me on the other side so i had to walk quite a far bit in this ulu part

going there was fine but when i was walking back, there was this angmoh guy ( like a construction worker) who was walking towards me and i sensed something amiss but i told myself to be brave and just walk pass him asap !

when we pass each other, he actually sorta jumped up to me like wanting to do something and i quickly took off! i was actually traumatised by it for awhile and i kept looking back to see if he was following but thank God he didnt!

ok so we went to the dentistry sch in city to check but it was closed and then i called my pastor to see if his cousin who is a dentist opens on sunday and no they are not and becos she works for someone , she cudnt go back to the office

hopefully the painkillers will work for nelson and then get a check tml at the dentist asap!

im so tireddd and all but i've had a really good weekend i must say

really really good weekend.

happiness

"happiness is like peeing in your pants.
everyone can see it, but only you can feel it"

this is one of my friends' msn nickname and i thought i was very interesting and somewhat true =))

good example

keke

shopping!

it was good fun to see my old friend charmaine again!

from country road to bardot to aldo shoes to general pants !

$400 is round up of the sum of money i spent this afternoon during shopping =) MUHAHAHA

anyhows, the country road 25% sale was 2 days ago and i missed it!!! if i actually notice the postcard they sent me i would have chiong down to shop and got a disount! gosh, i loogi-ed money

on another note,
when things have passed and i've moved on, i don't really care anymore, do you ?


the reason why i love suelin so much is because she never fails to write things that i'd never be able to express

i miss you sue!
=)

extracted from her blog

"There are people who take it upon themselves to go the extra mile for you,
and there are those that would go the same distance to bring you down.

There are those who will be there for you to depend on,
and there are those who are only there to depend on you.

There are people who would constantly check on you to see if you're okay,
and there are those who wouldn't give a hoot even if you explicitly told them you're not.

There are people who assume i'm attached because i look the part,
then there are those who'd fall off their chairs upon hearing news of me being attached.

Some might think you're Miss sunshine,
others might think you as a Grumpipi.

Some see you as Ms Independent,
others say you behave like a spoilt baby.

Some tell you not to be so stressed,
others ask you why you're so lazy.

Some say you've done well,
others say you're never good enough.

Some friends are angels,
others are just sluts in disguise.

There are those who care,
and then there are those who don't."
