horizontally awake.

Do any human beings ever realise life while they live it?--every, every minute?
-kurt vonnegut, timequake.

i felt like i was dying, that day in taka. twenty minutes of wretchedness, in that toilet cubicle. once in a while my body purges, it revolts against the food i consume, against my late nights, the stress, the processed foods, against me.
it wipes itself clean from the inside, so i puke, have diarrhoea, and everything churns.
the queue was soo long, in the toilet. i was keeling over, pale, faint, cringing with pain, and i had to ask them to let me go first, those gaping women. as soon as i stepped into the cubicle, i vomited three times.
and i sat there for twenty minutes, recovering, or gathering strength to go out there and be un-ugly - when you are sick and you have to face the world its almost impossible- and then..
there was the cab queue! like 26 cabs to wait for. i was pale, white, like a sheet. like my cement walls, only frailer.
i finally fell into the cab and he asked me, 'why you so tired?'
appreciative, i told him i vomitted n he offered me Fishermen's Friend. hah. nice soul. i shld vote him for Mr Taxi Driver of the Year Award. although i didnt take the sweet. [i was not bribed!]

so whenever i dont go to church, n the reason is 'diarrhoea', its one of those purges. i dont normally talk about it. i wonder if im healthy, if there's anything wrong with me. hah. but during hockey i was still one of e fittest in the team, i cant be sick right? well, i must resolve, nonetheless.
1. avoid oily, processed foods like the plague.
2. drink water like im breathing air. and fruits like im drinking water.

*i wonder how it feels like to give birth? does it feel like dying a death too?
*im gonna paint a wall in stripes. these are the colours i bought:
blatedpink[but pinkier than this]andceleryleaf[more lime greeney] aint it cool! matching photoframes!

current read:

till we have faces. cs lewis. absorbing lore, exposes the complexities of facing truth.

ponder:
what is friendship besides a coincidence of interest? she has been all day a bearer of bad news, so independent, so unbothered.

raining egyptian kboxes

i convulse whenever i see newspapers, and i wonder which magazines are under SPH.. the interview went really badly, it made me so disillusioned with working life. people can be cruel. really. maybe, shockhorror, i just cant deal with failure. haha.

now the happy (: stuff. !!! today we celebrated ahheng and edlyn's bday! packed them up with giraffe snouts blindfolded, into a cab and away!! to cherie's house. then we played treasure hunt and charades with uber random topics like: egyptians singing karaoke, goldilocks jumps off the seventh floor, statue of liberty dancing.
haha crazy insane fun. which everyone else will think is stupid but ah, thats the point!

yesterday as royston n i were walking back to church it started SUDDENLY, to pour. water. rain. yes. so suddenly! like instant noodle! haha. a bad day to wear white i was soaked through but i dont know why i just kept on laughing and beng picked us up and i was still laughing i think its because i found it so drama, like in shows when the rain comes down too sudden and unexpected it just seems fake. haha. its quite fun, being rained upon. now i know why they devised the rain dance.

"making a wish is just
spending a quiet moment
before the candles are blown out
on the birthday cake."

life is difficult.

it has been such a long day. i am worn down, worn out, spread thin. i am so exhausted.
who says the day after exams is a good day, huh?
quarreled with mum today. the inevitable split. i knew it had to come. and having come, i dont doubt there's gonna be a second tear, sometime. i gouging into raw flesh, an incision into a searing scar. but not anytime soon please, i have no strength.

then i missed the berkeley app deadline. and there're mistakes in it. and it cost 70$US. so i really pray they will be lenient and let me in, i so do not want to waste dad's money. you know, they say we shouldnt be materialistic right? but i find now that i want to make money. its not consuming me, but its not true that money doesnt matter, ok? i need to pay my parents back. i'll be blowing some like 1000 THIS DECEMBER ALONE. i need to pay dad back. urgh. i am so tired. God seems so far away, out of reach.

and the worst thing is, a leader has got to have God in sight, all the time. i am so weak. please God, show yourself through my weakness. i'm leading worship for junior camp some morning. i need to choose appropriate songs, i need to flow in the Spirit, i need you God. now more than ever.

a vanquished, nerve wrecked, soul.

i have nobody to watch harry potter with, and no time to watch it with anybody.
what's keeping me from collapsing? i really dont know. i have no time for myself. it's dad's bday this saturday. i havent touched SATs preparation. i am so tired, tired, tired. of life, of everything. so much for stability, for rockhard solidness. there can be no rock hard stability with no rock hard certainties, can there? yeah sure, God is diamond hard, flint hard. Let me feel your absoluteness God, let me perceive it, let me live it.
