This is my sanctuary
Jotted with my occasional, random outbursts.

Berate my musings and I not,
Lest for abler pens,
For I do not care.

cheers!

I swear I've got the sweetest friends around (:

though i doubt they'll read this, i shall still blog about it.

I think i would have died without them!

just receieved a call from alicia, super heartwarming.

she called to ask if i was dying or something cause she heard from chuwen.

dang i felt like crying. they do care.

of cos with my daily/periodic dose of entertainment from the boys keeps me sane.

i love my friends!

oh and i pray somebody/something can help mazi soon.

she's so skinny she's barely there now. and she doesn't talk.

even smiling, has become a chore for her.

i forgot to include the random 'i love you' msges from shuhs.

and poor tanxinyi's attempt to ask for a date from all of us.

i went back to stnicks yesterday and of cos that made me a happy girl. went to see mrs tan and i love her so much more than i already did. she's like a mummy to me. used to call and talk to me for 4hrs+ almost every other day when in sj.

she gave me a big hug and said: "bian piao liang le." she said she'll retire and come cj teach me biology last year when i said my bio was dying. she offered to give private tuition at her house but of course i never took her offer because she's the most boring teacher ever. but she's the most caring, gentle and motherly teacher i've ever had. happy teachers' day mrs tan.

it's raining and really dark at home now and tml's the start of prelims!

yet strangely, i feel at peace, ok maybe panicky, and brimming with love to pass around.

i hear my neighbour's windchimes clinking madly, doors and windows slamming, people shouting to close the windows and keep the clothes, the rustling of the soya bean drink packet my sister's opening and lastly,

ironically, mr lim's voice in my head.

-happy teachers' day to people who have made a difference in my life-

I like cheryl.

So stop disturbing her.

With genius, comes complexity, suspicion and loss of genuinity.

I talked, I felt and it racked my being.

How something so simple,

can be twisted by the stroke of increased intelligence.

it's...saddening.

Be truthful when you see this, name you own flaws.

I shall start.

Skeptism
Individualistic
Stubborness
Self-centredness
Indifference
Cold

and the list goes on...

name yours, and you'll be surprised that you actually know yourself better than all those personality quizzes.

it was an untold pleasure an amalgam of riches absent the ambient anxiety we all anticipated that we all dreaded absent overwhelming sadness absent an absence that we all foretold and so reminiscent of the memory of wholeness that we dared not hope for.

we sat at the kitchen table around which there can be no life and over time drank 2 bottles of auchentoshan scotch and retold stories and recreated a history and totally missed my mother's cue when she asked if we needed more scotch.

it was with abiding sorrow that we took our leave and broke up the set

Him: Olivia! you'll make a good mother!

Him: Got boyfriend or not?!

Me: -stunned, wth?!- Huh! Er... IDK?!

----------------------second scenario---------------------------------------

while using my classroom for his H1 biology tutorials, Mr Teo tried to act shou2. I was just sitting there minding my own business when he said:

Teo: -to the H1 students- Do you all know how sausages are made?

-goes on and on describing how gross sausages are-

Teo: -after a long story- That's why I never ate sausages since pri4.

Teo: -directed at the unsuspecting me- Oh Ryan loves sausages!

Me: -.-! Er... who's Ryan?

turned out that Ryan is suzanne's brother and they are Mr Teo's cousins AND suzanne, is my friend. ok.... i'm not very interested in knowing if people like sausages or not...

ok the quiz that chester forced upon me. sorta lame actually when i don't even think i know myself well enough for a computer to actually analyse me.

Your view on yourself:

Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education

Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
