Had a good morning today at home.

Watched Rocket Science.

Which was good! I love simple plots on days when my brain doesn’t want complicated twists but not in the mood for a chick flick. It’s about a stuttering boy who gets on the debate team but finds out later that… Well it’s nice watching movies not expecting anything or knowing the plot. Makes it more enjoyable (:

Then turned on Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Which I blogged about here before. So, good movie nonetheless.

Showered and left for school. For one measly Bio lecture hehe but nvm. Met Saiful on the bus, so got to talk to him a bit, something I hardly get to do normally. So after Bio I went to Orchard and met Kakak. Walked for hours (lunch in between) and reached Plaza Sing. Where Time Bookshop was having a sale. Haha not a lot of books but I bought 4 for 34, which is quite good actually. Got The History Boys’ DVD too; am looking forward to watching it again!

Papa picked us up then we went to Nenek’s house. Went to Sheng Siong with Cik Ami after that and got myself a muffin mix so I’m baking them nowww(: I’m happy now cos I just had a chocolate chip filled one.

Sigh. Sometimes I can’t bring myself to do stuff. I think I’m scared most of the time, but I guess we’ve got to take risks right? Okay I shall try to resolve that issue soon. (:

“You’ve got to risk love Sandra! I didn’t and look at me, I’m a lonely ghost of a man. It doesn’t mean that you’re never going to get hurt but the pain you feel will never compare to the regret that comes from walking away from love.”

- Connor Mead, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past

There are days when the taste of familiarity is much appreciated.

I did Chem yesterday and today (: I actually can do the questions. Amazing. Hahaha

I keep having strange dreams. A few nights ago I dreamt we were in a room trying to call a dead person back to life :O Then the night after I dreamt a lizard was running around my feet and woke up kicking. Then just last night (this morning rather, cos I slept in), I dreamt Alan (my cousin) smokes. I woke up feeling so upset. When I saw him later today I told him if he ever smokes I’ll never talk to him again.

Seriously, I think something dark is looming. :/

I guess life’s getting better. Kakak finishes her last A level paper tomorrow then we should be able to go out again. I shall treat her to a movie or something. Haven’t done anything together with her for some time, actually.

Papa left for Jakarta earlier this evening. Sigh that means I have to take the bus to school tomorrow. Alaa I am not looking forward to that. Oh well, at least he’s coming back soon.

Haha oh yes Mummy’s office is organising a family day in two weeks time. We’re going prawn fishing in Yishun hehehe that’s a first. Should be quite the event (:

At the moment I find comfort in staying at home. Away from it all haha I dunno.

Bridget Jones: Look, are you and Cosmo in this together? I mean, you seem to go out of your way to try to make me feel like a complete idiot every time I see you, and you really needn’t bother. I already feel like an idiot most of the time anyway – with or without a fireman’s pole.

[Doorbell buzzes]

Bridget Jones: That’ll be my taxi. Good night.

Mark Darcy: Look, um… I’m sorry if I’ve been…

Bridget Jones: What?

Mark Darcy: I don’t think you’re an idiot at all. I mean, there are elements of the ridiculous about you. Your mother’s pretty interesting. And you really are an appallingly bad public speaker. And you tend to let whatever’s in your head come out of your mouth without much consideration of the consequences. I realize that when I met you at the turkey curry buffet that I was unforgivably rude and wearing a reindeer jumper that my mother had given me the day before. But the thing is, um… What I’m trying to say very inarticulately is that, um, in fact, perhaps, despite appearances, I like you very much.

Bridget Jones: Ah. Apart from the smoking, and the drinking, and the vulgar mother, and the verbal diarrhea.

Mark Darcy: No. I like you very much – just as you are.

Breathe in life and breathe out

It’s time to revive this blog. I’ve had a long enough break and I feel happy to be writing this.

(Long breath)

Said returned Dear John just in time. I needed a good wake-up call from all this and the book gave me it. I cried again reading it, even on the MRT but I wiped my tears away heh (; So there’s this line that gets me every time I read it. Because I really want to believe it’s true.

Love meant that you care for another person’s happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.

And Zaff, I recommend you read it before watching the movie (:

Okay there’s my comeback post I guess? For the time being I’m just coping with Chem tuition 3 times a week, and with the last week of school coming, I’m thinking of how to reflect on the year.
