Purple grass and fireflies.I was on the train today when I saw a girl holding a box of Roald Dahl books and I had the biggest urge to walk over and snatch them out of her hands. And just the other day when I was at Popular and saw all these Enid Blyton books on sale, I had to try very hard to stop myself from carting them home too. Hahahah now everybody knows what's the perfect present(s) to give me aye! But I love these books, they were such an important part of my childhood. Without them, I definitely wont be who I am today. Those hours spent reading were happy hours - for a while, I could be in some amazing land having the most awesome time (:
I play hangman with my tuition kid after every lesson and today she wanted to guess a Disney character. So I gave her this _ _ _ space _ _ _ _ _space _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ However, she had a difficult time guessing and so she asked if this character was a real person. I was rather bewildered by her question and it must have shown on my face because she went, 'a real person is like Hannah Montana. ' Okaaayyyyyyyy when all along my answer to today's game was The Fairy Godmother. Oh gee, what happened to good ol' fairytales where Prince Charming and the Princess live happily ever after, with the occassional help from the fairy godmother and all things magical?
We're so so different. Kids these days scare me. They even know what's fuck aye. How terrible is that when they're all of EIGHT years old.
Alright I'm going back to my Harry Potter and the Philospher's Stone and Psych (: where everything is at least familiar stuff.
And yes yes, it's nice to be swept off my feet once in a while (:

goodbye and go.Deep down I know my life will change 2 years ago when I make that decision to do really bad for my promotional exams. But I didnt know that it would change this much and neither did I expect myself to feel so much about them years later. It's akin to discovering what's once familiar to something that's all strange and weird, so much so that I have neither the energy nor the heart to delve into it anymore. Looking in from the sidelines has never been more energy sapping. Therefore, I guess I will from this day and date, just do what I am probably best at doing; to file such initially-happy-warm-fuzzy-normal-comfortable-now-sad-disheartening-disappointing-awkard moments away and move on. My ability to move on has never ceased to amaze me.
So, one day when I eventually do stop appearing in your life, you know you've been filed away. It's not fair how I've to keep everything going and keep trying to make it work. And how I've to pretend it's all fine and dandy between us when it's not. I'm sorry but that just doesnt quite cut it for me.

alphabat soup.I hate to say this time and time again but time really does fly. My sister has flown back to NYC and I really do miss her :( I know I know, with such highly advanced technology these days and how the globalisation phenomenon and the likes have made the world so much smaller (seemingly) and how all I really need to do is to hop onto a plane as she's only halfway round the world, I shouldnt be feeling so weepy about it. But. You know. It's hard to think that way.
So school has started for about 5 weeks now and I'm kind of behind in my readings ): Cultural Studies is so mind boggling and is totally not how I perceived the whole culture thing to be haha. Oh well but school's enjoyable on the whole (: keeps me busy and my mind off depressing thoughts.
Ever wonder how ghosts of the past come back to haunt you at the worst moments?
GENIf you ever see this and is still in Singapore, date me please! I'm sorry I'm so lousy :(
