           The Feeling That Its All Alot of Oysters, But No Pearls
Tuesday, December 1, 2009


And its been a long december and theres reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I cant remember all the times I tried to tell my myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass
And its one more day up in the canyon
And its one more night in Hollywood
Its been so long since I've seen the ocean...I guess I should

           Food for thought

爱一人
如果你不爱一个人,
请放手.
好让别人有机会爱她.
如果你爱的人放弃了你,
请放开自己,
好让自己有机会爱别人.
有的东西你再喜欢也不会属于你的,
有的东西你再留恋也注定要放弃的.
人生中有许多种 .
但别让自己为一种伤害.
有些缘分是注定要失去的,
有些缘分是永远都不会有好结果的,
爱一个人不一定要拥有,
但拥有一个人就一定要好好的去爱她.
男人哭了是因为他真的爱了.
女人哭了是因为她真的放弃了.

如果真诚是一种伤害,
我选择谎言;
如果谎言一种伤害,
我选择沉默;
如果沉默是一种伤害,
我选择离开.

如果失去是苦,
你怕不怕付出 ,
如果迷乱是苦,
你会不会选择结束,
如果追求是苦,
你会不会选择执迷不悟 ,
如果分离是苦,
你要向谁倾诉,
好多事情都是后来才看清楚,
好多事情当时一点也不觉得苦

           Happy Place

Success is just like being pregnant.
Everybody congratulates you but nobody knows how many times you were fucked!




not many people understand how hard it has been,
these past 6 months that i've worked to save enough for this trip.
because they only see the spammed plurk page, fb updates, 24/7 available msn status, weekly snaking yamcha sessions
which made it seem like everything comes so easily.

at one point, it all seemed like it'd never be worth it
now that i'm here, Day X (i lost count and stopped counting),
don't know how many days are left till my departure
don't know which city i'll be heading next
wasting time in this empty house and chilly weather doing nothing beats being back in lonely lil' mlk
some people getaway from home by leaving to the city for a weekend
i have to travel half way across the world to get a breather from the family


familiar faces, new house, lingering flavors, ever-available arms to snuggle into, annoying house music blasting, beautiful autumn leaves and 2% milk.



making a memory.

There's Rileen Chua, the working girl who's rebellious on her office dress code who recently learnt to appreciate gingerwinechicken

bunnysuicides, making death look easier and entertaining

SaraJeanne scribbles little notes and leaves it across her room to surprise herself one day in the future

then there's Aya, the ex-bundle of spunk running around campus, dreams of fairies and coloring pencils and someone who'd knock on the door one day and offers an invitation to see the world together

Leen, a part that is still in Williamsburg waking up to an adventure everyday

and chuagueyling, my secondary school phase where little glimpse of feminity peek through

Jamie, the ghost that floats between pixels across the net

Chai Gui Ling, the scrawny chopstick boyish kid with giant spectacles in primary school, squeaky clean innocence behind those dirty school shoes and monstrous appetite for 2 packs of maggi (with egg) for lunches while watching afternoon cartoons.

heartxrecycled, emo name (according to dc) with a cheery happy shopaholic heart that buys clothing and accessories using maybank2u and pos laju

ayayaa, gamer. geek to all games 2d. except dota. technically 2 1/2 D

Rileen Aya, conjured out in attempts to help people from different stages of my life to identify me


and xanga and chalkboards and fullscape papers and wordpress and thankyoucards and messages in coke bottles and colored pixels in jpeg forms




so may i ask, in how many parts is your body mind and soul split into? do you suffer from this identity crisis? and which, is the person you truly are? and which, is the person you want to really become if reality allows it?



and as usual, nobody will answer my question.

but thankyou, dumborainbow for your honest, special, elaborated feedback. :)


*post reposted, for special people that would probably like reading it but dont get to come online too often. i mean you, reeeeenzzz. ;)

           Let's put a smile on that face!
Sunday, November 8, 2009

Things have been going so painstaking well, I'm on Cloud 9. :)
It has been such a long time since I've gotten that spotlight, since now he's free, he's decided to make my wait worth while.

:)

i love love love love loveeeeee rainbows that peek out after the storm

i should be shaking with fear that this will all come to an end, but i'm really really too happy to even feel the need to bother about it.

my only :( for now is just that two forever21 statement tees that i can't seem to get my hands on. but that won't happen for long. :) thank god for online purchases!

this feeling of knowing nothing can bring me down, is a forgotten adrenaline that has been running through my veins silently. i'm glad to know i still have it in me

thank you for wishing me happiness
thank you for giving me happiness

i made 3 wishes that i cannot remember 4 days before my actual birthday.
made none on the actual day.

would it still work if i wish now
would it be too much to ask for this to never end?
i guess so.

ok,


let's wish for a beautiful perfect full stop to close the file of 2009.
i want to keep smiling till 2010 comes! :)
