Anyway, I`m very elated today coz I got to see my very nice future mother-in-law again (: & I saw my future sister-in-law as well. HAHA. & even the lady who goes over his place to do ironing waved at me when she saw me under the block for the 2nd time. (: HAHA. okaaaaaye.

all by myself
Everything`s been so darn hard. Just so hard. I feel so very alone, it`s like I try to reach out to people who care about me, but it seems like the closer i get, the faster i drift away from them. It`s like reaching for someone`s hand when ur dangling by a cliff.
Tell myself not to allow these morbid dreams to affect me. But really, if you have been experiencing them each night for 4 consecutive nights, it begins to affect you. & you can`t tell yourself 'it`s just a dream' anymore. It just won`t work. & it sucks to know you can`t quite decipher the meanings.
So I close my eyes & make believe i was somewhere out there with him, the times we laughed so hard till my tummy hurt. Somehow, I can`t. The image on my mind seems too blurred & then it faded away. I was alone all over again.
leave me be, everyone. I will be blogging somewhere else for the time being.

please hold on
Anyway, EfB was boooooring today. As always. But lotsa laughs & many were playful. I, on the other hand, was smitten by Amal. She`s like soooo WOW, so darn fly. Her body`s a temple & her voice, oh-so-seductive please. Anyway, Raqie played a prank on Kelvin/Calvin by 'hiding' the latter`s handphone in the hood of my sweater. Calvin panicked so he used Hong Liang`s mobile to call. & dammit, the darn hp VIBRATED insanely IN my hood, against my back. Freaking ticklish, I couldn`t stop giggling. HAHAHAHA. I went to the washroom & bumped into Kristel. The cleaner got a shock of her life coz she thought Kristel was a guy. The expression on her face was PRICELESS. Wanted to return to the LT, but we bumped into Arline, so the 3 of us sat outside for a lil while & 'shared' class politics. Went back in & Ms Lye was showing some silly slides. If you are in dire need of a good laugh, http://www.engrish.com/. Downright insane, I tell you.
After school, headed down to Novena for lunch & then got Nazir`s as he was working. It was drizzling, & I was trying to control my cramps, which obviously were beyond control duh. I would have sat by the road side, trying to bear the pain which kept making me tear. But the fact that I was going to see him kept me going. When it comes to him, everything else is secondary. & that makes me come to another point. I don`t know how to tell him, how bad I feel, how sorry I am, that I am never there for him each time he has a performance. As I blog this, I just feel so darn lousy. Like what kind of gf am I? That I`m NEVER present each time, despite knowing how much Parkour means to him. That`s like his life, his interest. I so badly wanna be there, yet I can`t. & that feeling is eating me up. Each time I think about it, I get upset. I know he always says it`s okaye though he wished I could be there, but deep down, I know he wants me there. & I want too. But I can`t :(
Today is a horrible day :( & I fear sleeping. I really really do. I dread waking up from the same kinda dream, sobbing, in the middle of the night. It`s been 3 consecutive nights. God, what`s wrong? =(

so glad for the madness
Last week was momentous. We shared deep conversations which gratifed our hearts, all that needed to be said were said, and all that needed to be answered were answered. & not to forget, those dirty little secrets from the past. From his ex gfs to me confessing that i three-timed my boyfriendSSSSSSS. Basically, everything. We had a good laugh but somehow, it feels good to know that we are comfortable letting each other in to another side of our hearts. Most importantly, we both know that we`ve found ourselves again. Truly, it feels like the first time :D Thank You, God.

closer

Only 24 hours since the last time I saw that smile, stared into those eyes & kissed those lips. Only 24 hours since the last time he touched every inch of me, breathing me into his soul, making every fibre of my being tingle. Yet, there`s this intense feeling in me. I don`t know how I can miss him so badly. Yesterday was beyond insane. I drowned in his soul. It was as if nothing else matters anymore. It was me letting it all out for what`s been inside me, as if making up for for all that we`ve lost & found again. Rollercoaster of emotions, I should say. I cried in the lift after we parted. Not because I was upset, but because I was overwhelmed by my own feelings. That very moment, it struck me real hard how much he really means to me. I am so very grateful for everything.
My heart can sing and cry at the same time when you're away, there's this painful longing washing over my soul that can't be defined in words.
Nazir, 24 June 2007
That`s exactly how I`m feeling now. That aching sensation lingering in my heart.
I`m having a mental block now. Will edit this later.

passion & obsession
I think that when you fall in love with someone, every single day you spend with them you fall in love with them even more. It`s like you find something else to love about them everyday. The way they laugh, the way they sneeze, even the way they blink. I think that`s how relationships last. When things are exciting, everyday you spend with that person is like an adventure into their soul.
"They give their hearts to each other, unconditionally. And that's what true love really is. It's not this fairy-tale life that never knows pain. But it's two souls facing it together, and diminishing it, with unconditional love."

i don`t quite get it
OH NOW I GET IT. She`s just trying to multi task. 6 CDs will probably take 18 hours or something?! This is getting insane. HAHAHAHA.
of Xs & Ys

If you could see me, that`s probably how I look like right now. That same facial expression.
I`ve been cooped up in my room, isolated from everyone in the house for the past 3.5 hours. & why`s that so? Coz I`m completing my Biz Maths assignment which is driving me up the wall. YES, Maths alone for the past 3.5 hours. Boohoohoo. It`s due on Thur & i have 2 more questions left. & tonight, i`ll have to start with my MPO report which is due in 2 weeks. It`s a bloody Sundaaaaaaaaaaay laaaaa. Sigh. Okaye I shan`t even start complaining about having 6 days of school each week :( I`m hanging in there. This will be over soon. I. LOVE. SCHOOL. & I`M not lying.
I`ve drunk 4 cups of Milo . I neeeed my fix of gummybears & chocolates nowwwwww :(

iiiiii can give youuuu gatsbyyyyy
We met at Marina Square. & then decided to have lunch first. So while eating he asked who I wanted to watch Harry Potter with since he DOESN`T WANT to. So i just shrugged & told him i`ll probably watch it alone. & he still could laugh la! So annoying. He knows I`m such a HUGE Potter fan yet he doesn`t want to accompany me to watch it.

Well yesterday, I casually mentioned I wanted the 2GB Creative Zen Stone Plus for my bday becoz i`m so in love with the LIME GREEN one & i`m sick of my Ipod already. So we passed by the Creative store twice but obviously I didn`t say anything. But I was stealing glances at the darn mp3 u know! HAHA. I pretended not to hear anything when he talked about MP3s & whatnots. The 3rd time we passed by the store, he 'asked' what`s the diff between Zen Stone & Zen Stone Plus. So i explained & we walked off. about 10m away from the store, he suddenly took out a box & jeng jeng jeng, it was de player la! HAHAHAHAHA. Imagine my excitement. HAHA. So I smothered him with a few wet kisses. HAHA. So much for his 'I will be late becoz I am meeting my friend at Bugis to pass him soccer boots'. HAHAHAHA. So that was surprise #1.
After that we just walked around aimlessly, or so I thought. HAHA. We went to the upper level & I thought he wanted to get something or just walk around. We ended up outside the cinema & that`s when he took a piece of paper from his wallet. I was still clueless. HAHA. & when he passed it to me, I realised he had purchased 2 tickets to Harry Potter from the AXS machine. HAHAHAHAHA. i SOOOO badly wanted to scream please. surprise #2.
Well, after all that, we also visited his secret place & I was in awe. It`s so much more beautiful than mine. We`ll definitely visit it some time soon. I can`t wait (: & next on the list, my very own green helmet. HAHAHAHAHA :D & i can hardly wait for our escapade in 15 months ;)
Though he had to rush off to work, I feel like today was worth it. & it`s not only becoz of the surprises, it`s so much more. It felt good to have him back in my arms. & the feeling of losing myself in his arms, yet at the same time realising that he truly is irreplaceable, nothing compares to the intensity of that feeling. & i truly appreciate that he sacrificed his sleep just to meet me (: I`ve fallen in love all over again (:

one step at a time
I know this sounds crazy, but I`ll probably just end up being a 40yr old virgin if he doesn`t return. I`ve known it since the moment he kissed me & maybe even before that. & as scary as it is, I don`t wanna deny it anymore. I don`t want to run from him or let him run from me.
I`m eternally grateful that we found our way home, back to each other's hearts.

random
ANYWAY. what in the world is happening to my tagboard? -.-" I don`t even know who`s who anymore. & to anonymous, we are not living in denial (: 8 years what, you may ask. Ah, 8 years of leaving things in the hands of God I should say. We can only plan. But He determines every single thing (:
Moving on, ZUL this one`s for you. KNNBCCB. Ur tag sure caught my eye. But maybe you`d like to look at the mirror first. or at least, go break up with her first. Seriously, you ARE the biggest loser in my very eyes.
OHHHHHHHHH! & I can`t wait for the 21st! :D I`ll be taking part in a competition along w 3 other friends. HAHA. More details in entries to come (:
[/edit] OHMY. i JUST checked my mails. TV, i got it. & if u need me to reply, tag okaye! & i found out who u were through Friendster. & if you must know, ur gf was a good friend of mine back in pri sch! (: & don`t worry, ur not the Z i blogged about in the 3rd para of this entry. Just in case :D
[/edit part 2]
1030 & raindrops are falling. Such a nice weather. & i`m very in love w this song.
mmm
On another note, 8 years. I`ll probably die missing him for 8 years. But it`s alright. I`ve thought for a long time that we were going to end up together, so I don`t really care so much about the when of it. Now, though, the long road is starting to seem like the infinite road. We`ll see. I leave it all to God. So Nazir says, 8 years. Fit says, dengar-dengar I`ll be watching HARRY POTTER alone. Nvm la. I`ll wait for 8 years to watch it. Haha. I am so thankful.
can i kiss & irritate you like i used to?
we only said goodbye with words
Friendster is getting stupid. Well, my account to be more precise. I notice a number of guys who have been viewing me since forever but don`t add me up. Maybe coz I used to put up You-Know-Who`s pic as well. So now they see 'single', they don`t see his pic anymore, so they start their nonsense. I mean wth, I can`t be bothered with 'Hello, care to intro?' yada yada yada. They can try that on other girls but tough luck they`ll get a reply from me. & worst of all is, "Are you from track? I used to see you train at the track." I mean, like okaye DUH, i`m from track, that`s like soooo self-explanatory, you nicompoops, coz my pics state so & OBVIOUSLY track trainings are at the track. Can`t be at the LT, can they? What a fucking bunch of losers guys are these days. They probably should learn something from You-Know-Who. But then again, first of all, they have to be as good looking as him first. Kuang3.
Actually, I wanted to post an entry to reply the tags. But i SOMEHOW can`t be bothered to spend my time doing that. Especially the tag by Anonymous. Fuck, i`m telling you, if He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named ever saw that, he`d do a 'ke belakang pusing' thingy. Har har. & why oh why do i have this uncanny feeling, like I know you as well? i`m not jumping to conclusion,but if i`m right about who you are, You-Know-Who isn`t gonna be too happy. & do me a favour please everyone, start tagging with names please. & to everyone else, thank you for your kind words.
& truth be told, chances are, I MIGHT BE MOVING TO MY GRANDPARENTS' HOUSE IN JURONG. 85% likelihood. So much nearer to school & there`s a direct bus. So goodbye, East. Har Har.
i`m damn random today & i need teh peng now. The thing is, I don`t even know if I have to use condensed milk or u know, the normal milk, like HL milk or something. WAIT, i don`t even know where the teabags are also. HAHAHAHA. Nvm. Maybe I should just go down to the coffeeshop. & i`m getting sleepy. THERE`S NO SCHOOL TOMORROW WHEEEEEEE. YAY YAY.
anyway, i think i sound hyper in this entry. Maybe, just maybe, coz it`s gonna be the 12th. everyone, say HELLO to the OTHER love of my life. I know he needs no introduction, but everyone, this, as we all know is Daniel Radcliffe.

I`ll see you on the 12th, dannypoo. Kuang3. But then again, I wish I could catch it with You-Know-Who. I can see myself dragging him to watch it with me & i`ll likely draw a scar on his forehead as well. HAHA, i SO can picture the facial expression of You-Know-Who if I were to tell him I wanted to draw. sigh. I miss that idiot. BIG TIME.
This face in my dreams seizes my guts

as i die a little more with each passing day
In all honesty, I have lost myself. I went to bed sobbing insanely. & woke up with swollen eyes. The bus ride was torturous. I sat at the back, plugged my Ipod & tried to sleep, but to no avail. I found tears rolling from my shut eyes. The moment I met my friends at the school bus stop, Huiting only looked at me with knowing eyes & kept quiet.
Today just feels so different. & it`s because I`ve finally known the truth, straight from him last night & it killed me. It shattered my every hope. The hopes I`ve had in me since I lost him. For the past week, I`ve not let it affected me in school but I found myself staring into space during Biz Maths lecture just now. Yes, for 3 hours, u can say NOTHING went into my head & the topic was on Functions. & Functions isn`t exactly a strong topic of mine. Dr Tan knows I always pay attention during his lessons becoz I can answer him almost all the time but just now, he didn`t say anything but he did ask if I was ok.
He can move on if he wants. He`s probably doing that. But I don`t feel bitter. Because we are humans and we don`t have all power & control over certain things & that`s the truth. I keep telling myself this - he`s probably not coming back to me anytime soon. not in the next few weeks, months or years. he`s gonna get married to another girl & they are gonna have many children. but one day, something happens & he probably loses his wife or something & with a twist of fate, our paths cross again & you know the rest. I know I talk crap most of the time,but really, ANYTHING can happen. I don`t know. You don`t either. So it`s best we just allow things to fall into place on their own. He can force me to move on, do things which make me hate him, but at the end of the day, yes it`s true, if it`s meant to be, it will. We can push each other away now & allow hatred to creep into our hearts but we never know what will happen.
You can say it`s all wishful thinking on my part but at this point of time, I`m feeling so darn depressed it`s probably thoughts like that which cheer me up. I can cry an ocean, bawl till I go blind. But i`m still waiting. No matter how long. & i`m telling you, he`s as depressed as I am & it`s just that he has his own way of dealing with all these.
I`ve never understood the reasoning for someone to 'move on' from a relationship. It`s not like you are really going to 'move on,' you are just trying to tell your heart to stop thinking about that person every second of every minute of everyday until it finally becomes a routine and you don`t notice it anymore. That is, until you see that person again, with someone who isn`t you, and then you have to remind yourself again.
It feels like with each passing day, I die a little more. This morning after shower, I actually cried because I couldn`t stand seeing my own reflection. It hurts to look at myself in the mirror & having to remind myself that those are the very eyes he used to stare into, the very cheeks he used to always kiss on & the very lips which kissed his soul.
At the rate i`m going, i won`t be surprised if i sink into depression sooner than i think. A little insane, I`ve become. I can sit at the bus stop, waiting for a bus, & when i 'hear' a phantom, i just have to close my eyes & i know the sound from the engine`s the same. & so far, i`ve never been wrong. I don`t care about myself anymore. I just need to know he`s healing just fine. & I just wished I could be there.
I wish I could say no regrets
I know it`s been 3 years but I really do feel like lighting up RIGHT NOW. These days, I get tempted to pick it up again. That stupid 'i`m stressed' reason but heck. God, please help meeeeeeee. Maybe I should just go sleep. URGH. I miss him so much laaaaa :(
& thank you riotgrrlz for this song. I hope ur ma`s better.

earplugs
To the girl who will replace me EVENTUALLY,
You will find that he isn`t like any other guy that you have met, so please don`t take him for granted. He is less tough than he may appear, you just have to take the time and let him bring down his guard. He is so sweet and so amazing and know that if you ever leave him, you will break his heart apart, the same way that my heart breaks apart, as I sit here writing this to you. Don`t ever try to pull him away from his dreams. He is going to be an extremely successful policeman & Parkour is part of him. He won`t ever let you give up on your dreams either. He will encourage you to become everything you can be and will never, ever let you down. How he does it, you have to experience it for yourself.
He likes it when you kiss his ear and nothing is better than hugging each other. Just watch how your hand will fit perfectly into his and when it does, it seems as if nothing in the world could hurt you, because he is there. And when he puts his arms around you and tells you that you are the girl he loves, you will know, there isn`t any one else in the world better than him, who will love you unconditionally. Don`t ever let him go. You will regret doing so, for the rest of time. I promise, you will.
If you noticed, I did not mention the things we both did because I respect you as his present, maybe his future. I will always be a shadow from the past. Just know that he will always be in my heart, the memories I`ve shared with him, etched in me til my very last breath. But you are the one who has him. Learn to treasure. Nazir is truly a gem.
Love,
Fit
better tomorrow
Anyway, the first thing that hit me was, 'What shift is Nazir on today?' HAHA. God knows why I asked myself that. Maybe coz I`m always troubled each time he has to be on the road on rainy days. Then i grabbed my green notebook where i scribble his shift in so i don`t forget & found out he isn`t working. Somehow, I felt better knowing that.
It was drizzling when I walked to the bus stop so i had the sweater hood up & happily stepped on puddles. At that very moment, I felt like he was walking beside me, annoyed that i was jumping over the puddles, with his usual, "why are you so adorable? Eee geram. " & I pictured myself being piggybacked by him. I know that we would have done all that had he been with me. At that point, I felt tears sting my eyes. & I missed him even more :(
The only moment I was WIDE AWAKE in class was when Lye made Kai Qian, Zack & Leon write some topic sentence thingy with the controlling idea thingy we`ve learnt on the board. & all of us almost rolled on the floor.
Word: Career
HAHAHAHA. Indepent? & even if he meant 'independent', what in the world is 'independent job'? LOL.
Word: Health
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Okaye, need I say more about all that? HAHAHA. Seriously, that was about the ONLY interesting part of the 3-hr lecture. LOL. Half the class wasn`t present anyway.
I`m coping better today. But oh well, we`ll see. I hope he`s enjoying himself with his friends, riding around, training & whatnots. Doesn`t matter what he`s up to, as long as he`s happy. I want him to be happy, all cheerful & smiley. I couldn`t ask for more & he`s always in my prayer.
Maybe I`ll just go watch something funny to take my mind off all these for a while. Happy weekends, everyone.

run fit run
tobeneedingyousobadly
It`s probably. . . nothing. I`ll manage. I guess :(
The song is darn sappy I know but I can relate to its every word.
In every man`s life, he will meet a woman who will blow his mind in more ways than one. Someone who is everything he`s ever wanted, someone who is unlike any other he has ever met, someone who will love him like he never thought anyone could be loved, someone who is not only his lover, but his best friend as well. Too bad I wasn`t that woman, wasn`t that girl.
I want to run. I want to feel the adrenaline again. Perhaps I should start training again. Sprinting away from all my problems. I miss hearing 'Ke Garisan, Sedia, Go!'. I miss time trials. I miss having aches all over my body & pushing myself till I break, run till I`m so breathless it makes me wanna cry sometimes, even kiss the track i run on, bury my face in it, like it`s sucking the life out of me.
We had some real good memories with each other. There are things I hold close to my heart, and know I`ll always cherish because they were times spent with him. Maybe it wasn`t all wonderful, but what is? I had tears, yes, but that`s okaye, because I had him. I had laughs. I had love. I had Nazir.
His happiness matters the most to me now & if being happy means being without me, then so be it. Painful, yes. But point is, he will be happy, wouldn`t he? But I have every right to be wanting to stay & wait, even if it means falling back on nothing.
I`ve accepted that we can`t be, but I`ve also accepted that he`s going to be that one person I carry with me for the rest of my life, the one that is always going to make my heart jump a little and my stomach tie up in knots no matter how happy I am or otherwise and no matter how long it`s been.
Despite all the pain, the tears, the hurt I`ve inflicted on him, I just wish he would feel the love I have for him & that I would undo all of that pain if I had another chance. & I pray that God will grant me the strength to overcome all these & lead us to the right way, on the right path. I know for sure that I will only let go when he falls into the hands of someone better.
Yes, as long as he`s happy.
holding back
I lost a grandaunt who battled stroke, late last night so my parents are out visiting. My condolonces..condolences...yeah whichever, to Luqman & Hisyam. You guys stay strong.
I didn`t cry last night & i think that`s a good thing. Of course, he was constantly on my mind. & in the bus, I fell asleep from Kaki Bukit to Simei & when I woke up, it felt like he came into my dream for a while. I miss him :( For today, if i`m gonna cry, it`s coz I can`t bear the pain from these cramps. FUCK JULY, really. & i need to sleep now. Stress is just gonna add to these pain. Let me put all my problems on hold first. I NEED TO. or i`ll just drive myself insane.

i screwed up
Nurul Fitriyanna, hang in there. This ordeal will be worth it & you know you need time to prove urself. Time, Fit, time. & have a little patience, less drama. Learn to stop entertaining your feelings. Be strong. & yes, as long as he`s happy, & you will deal with the consequences, Fit. You`ve got no one to blame. You`re not going to be bitter but you`ll work things out with yourself & one day, he`ll see it all. Eventually. No matter how much you`ve hurt him. & you`ll undo all that. For now, you know he needs to breathe.
& on another note, the only way to reach me now is through online & the home line. In a nutshell, Mother saw certain things not meant to be read or seen & she freaked out & okaye u know the rest. & honestly, if i was a mum, i`d have reacted the same way. So for the time being, my mobile isn`t with me. but one thing i don`t understand is that she took my sister`s as well. anyway. . . the point is, time. Time to gain trust. Time to do so many things.
I`m braindead now. & school`s at 0930 & i need to sort my thoughts out. Goodnight.

one, two, three, four, five?
& one very important lesson i`ve learnt from us is that it`s about making the times that seem completely imperfect, absolutely amazing. Even when it`s hard to smile, even when it hurts, somehow it all becomes bearable just because you have each other. & i am eternally grateful (:
Love, really does overcome all obstacles, whether big or small. & this relationship is one helluva ride, i tell you. It`s madness. But i`m not complaining :) Like I said before, he`s like no other & I mean it (:
You want my opinion? We`re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness & call it love, true love. HAHAHA :D okaye not really la. but HAHAHAHAHA.
& btw, how many entries have I actually posted for today?! HAHAHA (:
:'(
"There is no shield. I want to give every tiny fibre of my being to you, and you alone. No one can have anything else. Time apart only hastens to strengthen my resolve that we'll be together no matter what."
