Suicide for Love?
Have you ever loved someone to the extent you wanted to die because of him or her?I just came across this incident of a guy fallin' in love with this girl for more than a semester and is now wanting to quit school to go smu coz she rejected him. The worse is, he's actually a scholar. ANd the girl whom I know, is so nice that she tries to help him out but eventually it just kinda became worse, like duh rite? And she herself is like in some sort of tormented relationship currently but she actually found herself falling in love with another guy unknowingly until of late, it just came to her in a strange outburst of emotions and she almost killed herself because she doesn't really know what to do. She cannot seem to control her emotions and can't focus on studying as well.
U know this kind of thing feels so TCS drama lah. What do you do when you've friends like that? How to help them? All of them need some sort of help eventually.
Ok perhaps this has nothing to do with actual life and death, but isn't it serious (or boliao) enough to raise an eyebrow and think just how far can humans push their limits against all boundaries of rationality? Like you want to quit school, you want to kill yourself because of this and that...
My friend, incidentally, is a schizophreniac. She could describe things as though she herself is a third party in the entire situation in which she was involved. It's very freaky lah. She used to be a strong person, as far as I know. But I know for one thing when depression gets her, she really breaks down. The 'she' as in, her true self, because I can feel it, by not using any judgmental rationality but more towards intuitive thinking.
May the Gods and Goddesses shower her with lots of love and blessings and protect her from harm always. I truly want to keep a friend for life.
A sane one, that is.
Loving you dearly.

Bored People Needs Instant Salvation
I just discovered that, when people are really bored, they are really bored.I found this pic on my Reddie. My lovely W910i in luxurious red.
My seniors.Doesn't this reminds you of folks from Never Never Land who never grow up?
Actually I do appreciate the sense of humour that evolves such oddity. Feels younger than I really do. And it's beginnin' to work wonders. I actually feel more childish (and lamer) nowadays just like when I was 18. I remembered I was always freakin' lame last time. Coz I was a perpetually bored teen, I guess.
I was tellin' Sab the other time, how I ran for Student Council back in NY. I ran, literally, for it. OMGGG. I was so laaaaame. Just as my turn came to go up the stage to present my speech to the whole school, I did a half run and then went to the standing mike and I said some dumb stuffs like 'I'm not runnin' for heats (coz sports day was around the corner), I'm not runnin' for (whatever) charity run, I'm not runnin' for (i-can't-remember-what) - today I'm runnin' for the 24th Student Council. Please vote for me.' I recalled my classmates seated on the ground lookin' at me really dumbfounded and what seemed like the most rolled-eyed expression they could muster. I stole this idea from some RJ guy who ran for his Council actually, so I wasn't the only lame one in the whole of Singapore. And I printed coloured A4-size posters of my face and the slogan 'Serve And Smile' and posted them everywhere in school just so that people could remember me. ANd I think, they did. Coz I got into Council in the end.
Don't you think I'm wayyyy too serious at times? How I wish, that 18-year-old attitude and outlook can make a comeback again. Life will be so much more breatheable and happier.
There, gimme a kiss, Baby.
Bored people needs instant salvation.

Black Dog Shop
I think I'm pretty fortunate in a way.Lately, the hooha over triple-sharing was such a maddening wind of exasperation for all of us residing in halls of residence. It was just so pissing. Till just now - my roomie SY updated me of the latest news which kinda lifted a stony burden off my shoulders - our hall's not gonna be meddling with triple-sharing after all! Rationale was that hall 5 is kinda near the expressway and the noise level is almost intolerable for a sane human so we can't take in one more roomie or else ... well i can't imagine what will happen anyways except for the worst.
My room is pretty quiet actually.
(Yes, I can be quiet lor.)
Coz the back of my room rests snugly against a lush hillside of greens and trees and my block is not that near to the expressway - something which I often take for granted coz I always feel like I have to walk and climb so much just to reach my doorstep.
But then again, what's there to complain?
In fact, I like the fact that hall 5 is pretty much near civilisation. I love to cross the bridge near my hall to get to the pioneer north neighbourhood side. I'm really, just a heartlander at heart. (Pun unintended.) It always make me feel like I'm in civilisation - normal and swell - whenever school (and a whole lot of other things) drives me mad.
I love to visit this chinese herbal shop coz of this cute black dog inside.
It's so unnoticeable that I almost stepped onto it the first time I walked into the shop. (Er ooops!)
Yup this is the one. It's like so there, but not there.
But it's awfully cute. ANd it doesn't bark. I like dogs which don't bark.
For this reason, I call this shop the 黑狗店 - Black Dog Shop.
