Hooked on swing.

Two days of the new semester have passed me by, and I can't say I am not satisfied with my (once-again) 12 hours per week, although I foresee a massive workload ahead for Japanese alone. In-class tests are 4 X 1% each, and we are all like... WTF?!?

DATTW has been very inspiring so far, and I knew I was going to enjoy this subject 15 minutes into the lecture. The first tutorial went surprisingly well, despite being a little 'petrified' by the fact that I only had FOUR other classmates in the tutorial, which means I seriously had to open my mouth in class and contribute something (and not just one sentence per week mind you!). I think by the end of that tute, I had contributed more opinions and information in that 50 minutes than my entire three years at university o_O

But, yay me anyhow ^_^

Goodbye my love.



One last phone call, one last conversation, one last goodbye... and one last cry.

Thank you so much, KQ, for every little thing since 1995.

It will be good for us eventually, I know it will be.

Goodbye my love，我都明白

虽然无奈，还是要看得开。

Tension - Goodbye My Love.

It's a long long road.

I'm back in Melbourne after an overnight flight, and this time it was really sad for me because Mom was busy and for the first time ever, she could not be there at the airport to say goodbye. She left early in the morning with the usual "Be a good girl and study hard" reminders, and when she hugged me I felt the tears well up. I know that I shouldn't be behaving like a freshie leaving home for the first time but it was the first time Mom couldn't see me off at the airport, and it just felt... different.

Nonetheless, I appreciate the kindness of the four very kind people who turned up at the airport, even though it lasted something like less than twenty minutes (?). Also thank you everyone who called and sent me messages :>

A friend of mine left her heart behind in Singapore. I don't even know where my heart is now.

除了祝福我不想再多说一句。

Baby - 爱情不能作比较

It's just another day without you.

For the first time in years, I'm choosing to forget about today - what today used to mean to me, and to you. Because I don't wish to know what you are doing at this very moment, don't wish to know what your plans for the day are, don't wish to know what present(s) you are receiving this year.

Also because I know that there is now someone else to remember today, give you a thoughtful present, and perhaps buy you dinner, or drive you to the beach and sit beside you on the steps in front of ZARA... in my place.

The 16th of July (for this year at least) shall be remembered as nothing else other than the day "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is officially released worldwide.

But Happy Birthday, anyway.

Who's gonna tell you when it's too late?
Who's gonna tell you things aren't so great?

Cars - Drive.

Norwegian wood.

"It's really comforting having a friend like you around. Ears to listen, a heart that understands, a helping hand always, and that beautiful smile. Thanks Lynn."

Sometimes it takes just the littlest things in life to put a smile on my face. Thank you T for the very sweet sms, you don't know how much this means to me.

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cos I don't think that they'd understand.

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris.

Indifference.

I changed my mind at the very very last minute and decided that I should at least turn up, because I wanted to believe that I am gracious; I wanted to prove to myself that I am capable enough to separate our personal problems from my friendship with the rest (which is, by the way, far more worthy than the one I used to have with you). I wanted it to be a challenge for myself to see how well I could handle the tension. Anyway I was a whole two hours late - you could say that I did it on purpose because I kinda wanted to go, but at the same time not for the full duration because I just did not want to be in your presence too long.

So it was weird at the beginning - I felt my face flushed for the first two minutes because it wasn't a situation that I was familiar with... but I hardened my heart, I sat miles away, I looked in other directions, I talked to other people. I ignored you when you tried to make conversation... and it felt good, it really did. I can't decide if my ignorance is a sign of strength, that perhaps I've decided you don't matter to me anymore and that's why I am able to ignore you so hard-heartedly in the presence of everyone else... or perhaps it is a sign of weakness, that I am still unable to forget what you've done and be friends with you all over again?

But be it strength or weakness, just so you know, this is the only self-defence mechanism I am left with.

Thank you T and K for providing that little bit of comfort I had during those agonising two hours.

On another note altogether, I hope everyone likes my new blogskin and song. I'm not in love with the movie, but I am just so hopelessly hooked to this song at the moment. You can always click on the STOP button if you've had enough of it!

解脱

是肯承认这是个错

我不应该还不放手
