how come i've never realized before that this song's actually so nice?
小时候 - 五月天
小时候我一直有个梦
有一天我要飞上外层空间就像夏夜繁星闪烁
幻想我能穿梭其中你有没有过你有没有过
小时候渴望硕壮的成熟长大后我有雪亮的天空
风雨却让世界不同面对遍体鳞伤的痛
你有没有放弃梦想的冲动
当你的心已累以为失去了一切
其实等在前面还有一整个世界
当你的爱已碎以为纯真会幻灭
其实等在前面还有一整个新的视野新的起点
小时候我一直有个梦有一天我要飞上外层空间
即使越来越淡的星座越来越远的神话传说
我不会忘记在夏夜里的时空遨游
sigh.

rollercoaster/ the superstring theory
yesterday was a rollercoaster day. within that short span of 15 minutes, i felt so pathetically stupid and hopeless. but after that suffocating episode, i met people who were so nice they were like angels and it just felt like being in heaven on earth. and i'm serious, they were really so lovable i wanted to hug all of them.
my clumsiness and lousy heels led me to slip down some flight of stairs yesterday too. ouch. imagine you were hurrying down this long flight of stairs to somewhere. if a stranger next to you happened to have a bad fall, would you reach out to help her?
oh and i ate mcflurry for the first time in my life yesterday! that was how i discovered that no matter how horrible the day went, ice cream never fails to make me happy :)
by the way, a good-to-know (doesn't this phrase remind you of chem lecture notes?) fact: 9% of the adult population in Singapore is diabetic. you never know when this piece of information can come in handy ;)
anyway, i wanted to post a couple of photos i snapped of the exhibition at esplanade on saturday. the canvases were based on something called the superstring theory, which postulates that every matter in the universe is made up of and connected by symmetrical vibrations of tiny "strings". i found it amazing that each entire artpiece is composed of only one single line. this line does not intersect itself at any point and is continuous without any breaks at all. if you zoom into these photos you'll realize that there really is no start and end to the line drawn. even the canvas on which the drawing is made has to be continuous to adhere to these principles.
hrmm.. if this theory were to be true, that will mean that me and you, we're all connected by invisible strings! if somehow our thoughts and feelings can be wholly transmitted through these strings, maybe the world will become a more genuine place to be in..

happy birthday to huixuan
happy birthday to my dearest friend huixuan!
me and my twinnie! i wonder whose lousy photography skills caused herself to disappear from the photo eh?
i love the two of them!
:D :D :Dyesterday we went to j8 to celebrate huixuan's birthday! and i'm so happy for and proud of this great friend of mine :) i feel so blessed and lucky to have known the two of them. it is only with them that i could really dig deep down into my heart and uncover the fact that i am really clueless about what i want to do with my life. i don't know, but after yesterday, i just felt like, yay, no matter what happens in the future, at least i know that i have two friends who genuinely care and hope for the best for me. and somehow, that just made everything easier.
it is often the unspoken words that are the loudest. i still haven't learnt how to deal with them, but maybe one day i will. maybe one day i will learn how to live for myself. maybe eventually all the dots in my life will naturally connect. but maybe even all these doesn't matter. as long as you're happy, and i'm happy, that should be good enough right?
不是很清楚自己将来要什么。不过就很幸运的走过半生。
不会对很多东西有要求。最重要是可以开心过每一天。

the phantom of the opera
i watched the phantom of the opera on saturday! i watched it with my two sisters and their boyfriends. ai yoh, i was such a major dian deng pao, but who cares hahaha. the musical was superbly enchanting! even till now the music and the scenes continue to haunt my mind. it was just so beautiful. my sisters and i all ended up teary-eyed after the musical. it was so (to the power of infinity) sad! :(masquerade...
paper faces on parade..
masquerade...
hide your face so the world will never find you...
sigh! my poor phantom :(
after the show i saw grace the godzilla! what a pleasant surprise :) heh, then we left esplanade and went to the carousel for dinner! i had to treat all of them to the buffet because i lost some stupid bet. i seem to be always losing all my bets. must make sure i don't go around betting with people over silly things anymore! haha, anyway i forced all of them to stuff themselves till they were so full they felt drunk (according to juncheng kor).
great food! but of course it came with a great price =/
me and my dearest sisters!Pitiful creature of darkness..
What kind of life have you known?
God give me courage to show you you are not alone..
You alone can make my song take flight -
it's over now, the music of the night..

哭笑不得
yesterday's tuition with brandon was really both exasperating and entertaining. i was going through this chinese passage with him when he asked me a question.
brandon: what is 粉?
me: 粉 is powder.
brandon: 快?
me: huh? it's powder.
brandon: 快?
me: what are you talking about? what 快?
brandon: 跑得(powder)快, 跑得快! 一只没有眼睛, 一只没有..
and he actually went on to finish singing the song for me. hahahaha. 哭笑不得.

nightmare
i shall blog about my horrible nightmare. -shudders-
she was carrying a stack of certificates in her hands, palms sweaty from the tight grip of the papers. she headed towards dhoby ghaut mrt station, because that was where her teachers would be stationed to sign her certs. the entire setting was ominous, and the dark and foreboding atmosphere that she was immersed in sent chills down her spine. perhaps it was the fact that she disliked the feeling of being at NEL mrt stations that made her uneasy. or perhaps it was because she didn't even know what she was there for - why she needed to sign those certs and why she was on her own - that added on to the growing sense of trepidation within her.
she entered the lift, alone. and all of a sudden, the lift rose up to level 88. she raised her head, and found the red numbers staring back at her with an evil smirk. it was so odd, level 88? just when she was feeling more perplexed than ever about the situation, she noticed there was a television screen within the lift. it was situated right above the number buttons, and it displayed something so scary, so incredibly terrifying that she lost all energy to even scream for help.
the view from the television was that of a surveillance camera monitoring another lift. it was a bird's eye view of a passenger taking another lift. right above the guy's head, just right above it, was a ghost suspended in mid-air, hovering around him in gleeful existence. the worst part captured was that the ghost was looking straight into the camera eye, directly into her eyes via the television screen. she registered those eyes before she took in the full view of the ghost's face. and the hideousness of that hollow face, it was just so ghastly, so striking, and so appalling she found herself waking up to reality with a startle.
even after she woke up from the nightmare, she found that she was unable to pry open those eyes of hers. something was tugging at her foot. or rather, someone was pulling her foot. immobilized by the thought that the ghost might after all materialize, she kept her eyes closed, refusing to let herself come face to face with this body from another realm.
it was only after minutes (minutes that passed so slowly) of coming to terms with the fact that she could not keep her eyes closed forever that she managed to allow those pupils of hers to register what exactly was going on. as she sat up straight, she could only utter "TSK" when she realized it was her brother, asleep in the lower deck of the bed, who accidentally hit her foot with his hand while sleeping.
haha! anti-climax, think im a lousy ghost story writer. but the nightmare was really really traumatizing. really. and it's quite rare that i remember my dreams (like the colourful baos dream which was horrifying too).
the ghosts in my mind, please go away?

life is fair?
the depiction of the human face in all its vulnerability and suffering
today i chanced upon something which i didn't think i was supposed to see. and what a shock it was. being someone who's easily affected by things surrounding me, i found it hard to keep myself from thinking about it. sigh, maybe it's because the harshness of reality only strikes you when you witness people around you becoming poor victims of fate. i mean, somehow people just don't get as affected when they know of the overwhelming statistics of cancer cases, as opposed to when they receive news that someone they know (whom they may not necessarily be on close relation) has contracted cancer. it's only when reality hits home that things strike a chord in one's heart. and then i start to think, how exactly do people get "targetted"? the unpredictabilities of life - cancer, car accidents, miscarriage, disabilities.. the infinite list just goes on. is it all predestined that one gets "chosen" to go through such trial and tribulation while another only suffers for the more trivial things in life? is it just a stroke of bad luck that we can easily blame on random probability? and if we really can just blame a series of unfortunate events on bad luck, will this make life appear fairer for everyone? can you say that life is fair; it's just too bad that you're unlucky? the answer is no, because luck messes up the equation of fairness. really, after whatever little i've seen in this life i lead, i can't help but think.. life is so unfair.
