Den dere was the part bout Julia Roberts asking her kidnapper(who happens to b quite a sensitive guy..ironic huh? he's a hired hitman btw..haha). "When 2 pple love each other, but cant seem to get along with each other, when does it come to a point of time where enough is enough?". Then he replies " It's never enough". ERm....i may haf changed the words abit, but tt's the gist basically. *Food for thought ;)*

Exams exams exams....only haf 1 thing to say. Chem was okie. Other den tt, erm...haha..*cough cough*. Maths was tough, physics was a rather traumatic experience .Not forgetting GP. it was so-so. Okie..must tahan till wed.

During e whole 1 week hol was juz mugging my guts out. Whole week stayed @ home mugging. How many pple lost their insanity during tt week? erm...countless....i tink. but anyway, i had a plesant surprise.

On fridae(of the hol), i had nthg better to do, so i decided to send an sms to Power98 (dedication larhz). So surprisingly, the DJ read it(erm..dunnoe whether ya guys heard it). n den...abt 3 hrs later(around 6pm). He called me, n told me i haf a chance of winning 2 tix to Starlight Cinema! den i was like "wad the ?!?!" i was totally amazed!! Den he asked me a qn, but i didn't noe e answer. guess wad, he gave me the answer, n told me tt wen i was on air later,tt i gave the correct answer, n i would win the tix. ! !!! unbelievable huh? so i was kinda on AIR n acted abit shocked la...haha...! of coz,i was STILL in shock, even after the call! Anyway, wad bout the tix? hmm...another time!

Okay...wad else shuld i tok abt ...dun wanna type too much, coz u'll gonna bore out. Well, other den e recital, teachers day, national day..erm..wad other day. cant tink of. those will tok abt em some other time. the other significant thing is joining my cousin's church...yeah.. @ least im staying put for some time.been wandering for too long. time to ..settle down.

Truth

We Seek it All the Time

But is it Worthwhile?

Maybe, Maybe Not

One Thing is for Sure

The Journey To Find it is Always There


Time

How do you define it?

By the hours, minutes or seconds?

Does it really matter to us?

No

Time not spent wisely is not Time Wasted

More importantly

Time is Life

Time is How we Spend Our Life

What do u Ponder on?

Hmm....

Studies, Relationships, Future?

One Thing Works for Sure

Just Relax.

A Story Part II

Part II


She never felt so tired in her whole life. Sleep was something she lacked this past couple of days,especially since SYF was just around the corner. She just hoped that everything will pay off. The only thing that disappointed her was that she had totally forgetten the notes and came in at the wrong time during the practice. "It's just one of those days,Yvonne, it's just one of those days", she calmly reassured herself.
The school canteen was rather empty, save for a few students who were either studying, or just happily chatting away. Reading her last message from her best friend, Debbie, it read "meet u in canteen @ 7 ". The time on her handphone read 6.55pm. Nice.

There was a heated quarrel at the basketball court.

"Coach, just today, please!", begged Jason. "First you defied my instructions, and then you flared up during the match! Now you make some unreasonable demands, like going home early? What has gotten into your head! One more time you behave that away, you be out of the Nationals, and i don't care about how you feel!", his coach retorted back.

There was a momentarily silence at the basketball court. He looked around him and saw that they had become the centre of attraction. Clenching his fist, he stormed out of the basketball court and into the grandstand. "Resume the training. Anybody not doing so will join him!". The team immediately went back to training, fearing for their own welfare. Taking his belongings, Jason walked hastily to the toilet. Staring at the mirror, he saw a sweaty, grim looking image of himself. Turning on the tap, he kept splashing cold water onto his face.

"Debbie! Thought you were not coming!", asked Yvonne.
"Vonne! Relax lar! Just hanging around with my dance friends. Today's session was great. I'm so confident that i think SYF would a breeze la!", her friend answered enthusiastically.
"Just you and your sudden state of euphoria. Anyway, how's things between you and Matt? Heard you'll patched up huh?"
"Ya, and guess what? He even brought me a bouquet of roses and sent them to my class personally! I was like 'oh my gosh'!"
"You've gotta be kidding right?"
"Not at all! Ask QQ! She'll tell you the same thing!"
"Bet tongues will start wagging! So lucky la! If only i had such a boyfriend, but nah! I'm not into this kind of romantic stuff. My hair stands whenever i hear them"
"You ah, so unsentimental sometimes. What's up anyway? You seemed quite distracted. Something bothering ya?", she asked, concerned.
"Nothing really", Yvonne answered hastily. On second thought,she decided to open up. No harm in doing so anyway. "Oh well, it's about this friend of mine......"

8.34pm

"Jie, how are you today? ". There was no answer. Her eyes remained shut. "I know, it's abit crazy talking to someone who's still in a coma, but the doctor said that if we spoke to you everyday, you'll wake up one day. I'm not going to give up on you Jie, so don't give up on me." Jason held her hand tightly, hoping for a miracle to happen.

9.58pm

Jason hated coming home. Being ostracized by your parents was not a pleasant thing, but he knew he had no where else to go. His computer had been switched on the whole day. He was downloading a movie online. He knew it was illegal, but he did not care. He just needed something to get his mind off everything that was going on now. He saw a flashing blue colour at his toolbar. A conversation window! Without hesitation, he clicked on it.

'Angel: Hi!'

Above the message, it wrote "Angel may not reply as he or her status is set to Away".

He looked at the time at which the message was sent. "O gosh! 9.30pm!"

'Happy Kid: hi! sorry for not replying! Just got back!'

Jason waited eagerly for "Angel's" reply.

Angel:HEY! Where were u?
Happy Kid: Sorry lar! juz got bac. training today was very sianz i tell u.
Angel: o realli? what happened?

Jason mentioned his ordeal to her. He usually did not like sharing his personal issues with people, but the only person he could confide his feelings in now was Angel.

Happy Kid: So ya, tt's wad happened todae...
Angel: Sorry to hear that...but i doubt your coach would be that bad right?
Happy Kid: Aiyah, dun tok bout it anyway. how was your day aniwae?
Angel: No better either. i've got a whole pile of tutorials to do, and the tutors are BREATHING down my neck la! tis sux!
Happy Kid: ^5
Angel: ^5! lol! aniwae, how's ur sis?
Happy Kid: .....
Angel: sorry to haf mentioned her.
Happy Kid: nvm. it's okay. i've started speaking to her. doc sae that the more i speak to her, she may haf a chance of waking up!
Angel:That's great!
Happy Kid:yeah....
Angel:brb!

Jason checked his movie download. There was about 30mb left. It should probably take him about another an hour or so. While unpacking his bag, a sudden thought struck his head.

10.15pm

The conversation toolbar flashed. Jason who was in the midst of doing his PW report stopped doing it and resumed the conversation.

Angel: Back!
Happy Kid: Woah! sure took u quite some time leh! bz angel huh? y helping other mortals in nid of help izzit?
Angel : haha! yeah! how u noe ah?
Happy Kid: erm...coz i'm on of em. eh..gimme more attention leh! this mortal requires more help
Angel : lol! okok la! wad u doin now anyway?
Happy Kid: stupid PW report. doing some project on birth rate of s'pore
Angel : i see! mine's about the trend of online chatting.
Happy Kid: ah! i c! so r u gonna interview me or smthg liddat?
Angel: haha! once i get the questions ready! =p
Happy Kid: n i'll do e same too! anyway, i've got some qns to ask u
Angel: yesh?
Happy Kid: i would like to noe more bout u. u've always seems to keep mum bout urself. i dun even noe wad sch ur from la. all i noe ur 18 and i haf a pic of you, but i dun noe who u r. u nvr told me who u were
Angel: aiyah, wad's e point of knowing. it's not like we'll meet up mah
Happy Kid: In the end, the angel must always reveal him or herself to his or her mortal mah! haha...u played tt game b4 right?
Angel: of coz! kk la. but first, tell me urs?
Happy Kid: I havent? kk...NJ.
Angel: ........

Jason stopped to wonder why Angel had suddenly stopped replying.

Angel: icic! i'm from nj too!
Happy Kid: kewl! same college! kaoz! we've known each other for so long, but we dunnoe we're in the same college. wait...gimme more surprises. ur y1 or y2?
Angel: y2.u?
Happy Kid: haha! same same!!! ur subject combi?
Angel: wah! erm...sci. s5. quite slack la
Happy Kid: o gosh! scarli ur sumone i noe! lol! i oso s5 la!
Angel: ok...this is realli coincidental!
Happy Kid: yah lor! anyway, what's your name?

The next thing Jason knew, Angel had went offline. "Was she being shy or what?",Jason thought. Nevermind. He had his report to do anyway.

10.25m

A sudden darkness enveloped the room. Yvonne nearly fell off her chair. The sudden blackness made her skip a heartbeat. She managed to grope for her handphone, and switched on the torchlight function. "Vonne, could u switch on the lights again?", her mother shouted. "Yes mom, on the way!", Yvonne replied. She finally found the circuit board. Remembering what her father had said before,she proceeded to bringing the power back to the house. Within seconds, the whole house lit up again. After closing the circuit board, she headed back to her room.

10.30pm

She felt irritated. She was just in the middle of a conversation with her friend when the power went off. Now she had to go back online again and continue the conversation. She did not know if her friend was still online. It was 10.30 anyway,and anybody could be asleep at this time. Getting access to her computer again, she logged into MSN messenger.

10.31pm

On Jason's computer screen, Angel appeared online. He was not aware of this though. He had fallen asleep. The tough training had drained him thoroughly, and staring at the computer while writing a boring report were ingredients to making him fall asleep. Nevertheless, the sound produced whenever someone came online woke him up. Opening his half closed eye lids, he saw someone appear online. But he was too tired to check who it was. "Some other day", Jason thought. Without hesitation, he closed all the remaining toolbars, and laid down on his bed.

"I was so close to knowing who she is", Jason thought. The fatigue was too much for him to bear. He gave in to it, and was soon in a deep slumber.

A Story

Day 1

3.25pm

Jason's mind was a blank. As he recalled everything that happened the past two weeks, he did not know whether all these were real, or it was just, a bad nightmare. Time and time again, bad luck seem to have befallen on him. The most horrible events just came surfacing into his life.

"Why he thought? Why?"

He stared at his Mathematics paper. An "O7" was written on the cover page. He had expected himself not to do well in his exams. With all the events that had happened around him, even the once strong concentration was not able to help him. Looking at the exam paper did not make him feel better.

He felt horrible.

"Eh Jason! You all right ?", Yvonne shook his shoulder lightly. Her cheerful expression lifted Jason's spirits, but only a bit.

"Class's ended already! Aiyah, it's just a maths test, don't take it too seriously ok? Let's pack up and go out for lunch yeah?", asked Yvonne.

"Nah. Not today. Got lots of things to do. Anyway, i've got to go out with "her", you know?", Jason answered. "Oh "her" eh? Haha! I get it! ok! Then i'll just make a move first! See you around tomorrow! Hey girls wait up!". Yvonne rushed out of the classroom, calling out to her friends to wait for her.

The classroom was empty, but the tables and chairs were mess. Jason slouched back into his chair. He did not feel like going home. It only made him feel worse. He took out his handphone at looked at the time.

3.30pm

Without hesitation, he packed his bag and left the classroom.

5.00pm

Jason walked out of the Singapore General Hospital. Everyday, he prayed and hope that a miracle would happen. He felt as though he was the root cause of the accident. "If only i had taken the effort to call her, she wouldn't have rushed out of the house to find me. Jie, why did this have to happen to you?"

6.30pm

As he walked passed his parents in the living room, they totally ignored him. He could not blame them. Just then, his father started hurling vulgarities, scolding him for his daughter's plight. Jason ran into his room and shut the door. Sighing hard, he threw his bag on the floor and decided to go online to chat. Maybe that was a way to get things off his mind. Not long after he had signed into MSN messenger, a text conversation popped up.

Angel: Heyz!
Jason replied. Happy Kid:yo!
Angel: How's school today? Is everything better? How's your sister?
Happy Kid: It sux. Big time. got o7 for my maths. didn't make me feel better. sister's still in a coma. not sure when she's gonna wake up. i'm feeling absolutely horrible now. and now, something's worse happend.
Angel: o....so sorry to hear that. I'll pray for her ya? What worse could happen?
Happy Kid: I just broke up with Tiffy. She met me this morning. I knew something wasn't right at all...

Jason recalled of the scence this morning. The memories still flashed in his head. He looked back and saw that Angel was still typing the message.Finally it appeared.

Angel:Tot you both were going steady? how long? if my memory holds,3 years?
Happy Kid: 2 1/2 years. Like i said, i knew something wasn't right at all. The past few weeks, she had given me the cold shoulder. i was tinking "okie..i'm probably spending too much time on my CCA". But i realli had to! coz i've got e dumb nationals coming up. i've trained sooo hard for it, i can't possibly juz gif it all up right?

Angel:True..true. well, if ya dun wanna tok bout it, dun haf to.
Happy Kid: nevermind.just wanna let off some steam. so as i was saeing,i'd decided to give her a birthday present. i thought we could juz patch up or something like that. Who knew when i met her today, she jus said that it was all over. jus like that! and furthermore, she jus took the present and left. i was standing outside her classroom, like a total idiot.
Angel:.....
Happy Kid: Yup, everything's now gone. My gf juz broke up wif me for no good reason. My sis's in the hospital, and my parents hate me. And my results too! What worse could happen? i wonder what i've done wrong.
Angel: Well.....life can be pretty low at times, though i cant feel wad ur feelin right now. but realli sympatize wif you lor. Anyway....

The online conversation continued. As Jason chatted with her, he felt much better. He did not have the slightest idea that the online friend he made three years ago, Angel, would turn out to be such a good friend. Not only did she make him feel better, she had even helped him through his darkest times. Just a month ago, he managed to catch a glimpse of her.It was totally conincidental. He remembered exchanging pictures with her online. Her picture had many other girls inside, and she never told him how she looked like, always saying that she looked very "ugly". Nevertheless, while he was shopping at Takashimaya with Tiffany, he had caught a glimpse of someone who looked very familiar. Someone who's face seemed to have appeared somewhere. However, before he could catch a second glimpse of her, she had disappeared into the crowd.

"Who is she?", Jason wondered.

2 wks

aint sure wen's e last time since i updated my blog.

aniwae, last week was kinda hectic in late week n weekend..had absolutely no time to do my own stuff or studying. heh! fri had theory lesson..n den had to go..yes...can u believe it..manicure. kk...not tt im a gay or wadsoever, but it was solely for the foto shoot..shall go into tt later.quite comfy ...manicure im referring..but e slightly painful part is wen dey remove those skin beside ur nails..not tt dead skin..but those along the sides of ur nails..scrap em away. haha..aniwae, after e manicure, nails were quite shiny(no longer now..a week leh!)
