Out of four seasons, I'm tied on two: Spring and Fall. They're like complete opposites! The determining tie-breaker was to choose my preference between the two below:

1. You think before you act, and weigh your options before making any solid decisions.
2. Before the end of something, you are already looking for the beginning of something new.

I dunno which is more me! So I put both results here:

You scored as Spring. You are SPRING. Ever optimistic, you readily greet each day with an open mind, and with gladness in your heart knowing that even should life share its dimness with you, the sun -will- come out.

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

'Cause there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breath again
-an excerpt from 'Crash and Burn' by Savage Garden

This morning, after hearing that the people around me are facing some kind of crisis whereas I'm just sitting around being happy with myself, I felt lucky and glad.

Just a few minutes/hours (I can't remember) back, I started to feel despair, loss and... and... I dunno! Infer from the song excerpt. Over what, I don't know...

Now I can't even enjoy the songs in my Winamp tracks, which I normally do.

I have only the slightest idea of why I'm feeling so. It may be coz I'd just finished reading the second part of lotr-rotk (or book 6... I skipped book 5 coz I think the movie captures the best moments) about Frodo going into the West with the elves this evening. After the book ended, I was like singing 'Into the West' by Annie Lennox to myself and well, maybe my heart just started weeping. But then again... How can it be?? Books are just stories! Life is REALITY! Or is it reality that I feel so about?

It's raining and there's thunder. It's like the weather is trying to fit my mood. Hmm... Or perhaps... My mood is trying to fit the weather?!

O...K... As bored as I am, I'd never be as bored as to do THIS!!!

The URL itself is already so long, for your info.

Dunno why I'd been feeling so lately. I feel so stressed and tense AND IT'S THE HOLIDAYS!!! Maybe 'coz I feel for the characters in Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers, which I'm currently reading, surprisingly lol. I'm at the part where Frodo, Sam and Gollum had just been released by Faramir. And this part is so full of suspense! Maybe too 'coz school will be reopening soon, which means... TERM TEST RESULTS!! Argh!!! I really hope I do well...

I have lotsa more to write but nevertheless, I'm very exhausted and tired after a long long day of Titisan and visiting my grandmother. I just wanna drop on my bed amongst the messiness (is there such a word??) and fall into a deep slumber... But there's a lot of things on my to-do list which I'm eager to do first before I sleep, and I've just done one - BLOG! Haiz, alas I'm finding blogging a chore again. Maybe I need a change of blogskin or I should take a break from blogging. Hmmz... I hope it's not the latter... Blogging helps me clear my mind and heart...

Oh by the way, I just knew... Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom is considered a non-fiction, whoopsie! Pardon my mistake peeps. *wry smile*

One more thing, I read in the papers that bloggers are using 'broken' English while blogging, thus contributing to the factor of why Singapore's English standard has dropped. My reply: Then what do you expect? Perfect English?? It'd defeat the purpose of blogging altogether! I mean, blogging is like... speaking, in a way. So, we gotta use colloquial English right...

On my way back from Titisan the other night, I saw this really big, bright, full moon. At first I thought it was some kind of building's mark or something, but turned out it's the moon! I'd wanted to take a picture of it, but it was very hard to from the car. When I reached home, I looked around for the moon, cannot see... So sad... Then the next morning I saw the moon, it is much smaller though still bright. Still...





Last night I looked out for the moon again and I got this:

I just came back from Malay Arts Group (MAG) - Drama otherwise called Titisan and I had lotsa fun!

At first I was reluctant to go. I was telling Athirah, "I just thought it's gonna be a school-free term break..." But turns out, there's nothing to groan about. It was like a laughter session lol! Laugh and laugh until my stomach hurts and my eyes water la I tell you.

We did this sajak creation thingy whereby there's four of us in each group and each one of us comes up with a word to connect to the word the person before us gave. The sajak has three sets of four lines of four words. The whole sajak will surely turn out crappy! My group has like "Pengatin baru meniggal dunia (Newly wed couple meets their death)" and "Apa-entah-dah-lupa malam pagi semalam (I-can't-remember-the-word night moning yesterday)" and more. Crap right?! The other group even funnier: Unsangkarable rhymed with table!!! Hahahakz!

After that, we got to work coming up with a play for AGM (I have no idea what it stands for so don't ask...). It is a very creative way how we did it. Firstly, all 16 of us give different themes. Then we try to see how the themes link to each other. It was very odd... We had words which differ like how north is opposite of south and east is opposite of west yet we could link up every single theme except for one. We had "crazy", "mad", the bachelor", "cavemen", "X-men", "Benchwarmers", "Police and Thief", "Cartoon", "Puppets", "Old folks home", "Hitler", "Rock Opera", "Silat", the cancelled out "Bollywood" and two more I can't remember. After that, we got back into our groups of fours and came up with a story skeleton. When that's done, we voted for the best and this Saturday, we'll meet up again to neaten up the storyline. You guys just wait and see AGM man... Comedy! Hahakz!

I just hope I can go on Saturday. Laughter is the best medicine!

I'd like to introduce 2 more blogs: Fityan-Ghufran and Nur-Ikhwan.

How do we determine how good a book, a movie, a show, an article and whatever else is? Impact. It is the impact that determines how good something is. Anything that leaves us laughing, crying, smiling, angry, thinking, shaking your head, nodding your head and such shows that it is good. Even if it is friendships/relationships that we're talking about. Have a nice day!

Today will be the last episode of Charmed on Star World! I nearly forgot! I wonder when the next season will be on... Anyway, for those Charmed fans out there, check this out.

Anyway, went to Giant this afternoon with my parents. There was a slight jam at the Singapore customs on our way there, but it gave me the chance to take some really nice pics. We didn't do much at Giant, just had brunch and then we went to the supermarket to buy the necessities. I got myself 4 pairs of slippers and a really nice pink top. Haha, one more pink top to be added to my wardrobe!

Hmm... Nothing much to say... So I'll just post some pics for all to view! Afterall, "a picture paints a thousand words" right? :)

The term tests are over and term break is here! My friends in JC laughed at me coz we Poly students only have a two week break in June, but then I laughed back at them. They have a four week break in June, but they gotta use all that time to study for their exams which they gotta sit for when school reopens whereas we can enjoy ourselves and have a true break.

Speaking of enjoying the break, I don't have much plans. Will be crossing the causeway to go Giant or Angsana tomorrow and that's it. Will be there for like 5 hours and then I'll see the causeway again. No life man... I wanna go to Cameron Highlands again! Even though I had a bad experience there the first and also the last time I was there, the scenery is simply fantastic there and I'm a huge fan of beautiful landscapes.

Oh well... I guess I'll just sit at home and do the things I normally do: Read novels, blog about my half-rotted life, write a sure-won't-finish story, watch tv, eat, sleep, visit my grandma and shop (hopefully). I wanna go ice-skating or rock-climbing but I dunno who to ask along!

The one thing I wish to do now is to go to Esplanade and walk around with my digicam, taking mesmerizing pictures. Hah, as if my parents would allow that... I love taking pictures. It makes me feel so happy and excited, lol.

Haiz, dunno what else to write. Like no inspiration... Guess I'll just add one last thing before I go. Erm, alamak I forgot what to write haha. Nevermind then, till next time!

I did some self-reflection after reading 'Tuesdays with Morrie' by Mitch Albom. I wonder things like, "Am I happy with what I'm pursuing now?" or "Am I pursuing my dream because it's my passion or something else?" The book is really worth your read. It discusses a lot about the things we go through in life and no, it's not a non-fiction. It's an truly inspiring true story. Check it out!

Anyway, I was reading through my e-mails when this caught my attention: People who don't have dreams don't have much. I really agree with that. Dreams give us drive. Dreams motivate us. Dreams keep us alive. Some people would say, "Get Real!" but reality is usually like the cold, hard floor we hit when we fall. It hurts.

I heard something recently about free things. Nothing in this world is free. We pay for the water. We pay for the air (environment tax). We pay to live. I've got a reply to that: Love is free. But then I thought back, yes love is indeed free, yet most p-eople give love and expect something back in return. That's not right. It's like you're asking for 'payment' for the love you give. Oh wellz.

Reflect and discover yourself.

Hmm... Maybe what Ella said is true... Maybe poly is where I can shine... At least I hope she's true. I won't go into details coz I think it's too early to say anything now. Pray for me k.

For now, I'd better go back to revising. I'd been chatting with my friends online for the past 2-3 hours and it's really late now...

I hope I'll do well for my term tests.
