Today is THE day you leave for the US.
I will miss you terribly.
No doubt, the tears will flow.
But i know five months will pass fast.
I will patiently count the days down for your return.
Take good care of yourself sayang.
Keep youself warm in the winter and remember to have your meals regularly.
You will
always be in my thoughts.
Till May we reunite again.
I love you. (:

Since i've made my decision or rather, decided to abide my principles, i should learn to stick to it and never look back.
But why do i find myself pondering over my action?
And perhaps my sis is right. I should go do something useful for now, rather than wasting my time in front of the computer every night, chatting online, surfing the net, and watching endless hk dramas.

Smashing song by Snow Patrol!
"Run"
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dearEverything has been so fast. In 4 days' time, it'll b 2009. And there'll be many happenings awaiting for me next year. Endless school activities, my sis' wedding, my graduation and becoming another year older. At this juncture, I might as well use this space to pen down my resolutions for 2009.
1) Be happy. Smile more from the heart.
2) Be a better daughter, sister, and friend.
3) Attain good grades.
4) Get to work in my desired company for internship.
5) Keep up with my weekly exercise regime.
6) Make it a point to practice the 7 habits.
7) Enjoy life to its fullest with my loved ones!
The following are what i want to achieve/take up in the years to come.
1) Read widely. Complete at least 2 books once a month.
2) Learn to play a musical instrument, preferably the guitar or piano.
3) Contribute meaningfully to the society by volunteering at local charities.
4) Have a faith.
I hope besides penning these resolutions/activities down, i will be able to act them out. Oh, and what a better way to begin this act of 'walking the talk' by practicing the 1st habit now: Be proactive. Afterall, between stimulus and response lies our greatest power - the freedom to choose. And i've chosen to walk my talk. (:
Happy 2009 in advance!

My sis can come up with the craziest idea at almost anytime of the day. A moment ago, she suggested we wake up at an unearthly hour of 6am tomorrow morning to head down to the beach to 吹海风. Initially, I thought she was joking and quickly dismissed her as i assumed it was one of her on-the-spur moments. But then she appeared to be pretty excited and kept on suggesting we do so, as it has been ages since we last saw sunrise.
Well, she had a point there; I haven't seen sunrise since i-don't-know-when. So i acceded to her request and now i'm left with a challenging task of waking up at 6am tomorrow. OH GREAT.
Wish me luck then! (:

It's that time of the year again - CHRISTMAS! I can't say how fast x'mas is approaching. Today is x'mas eve already! Gosh! And soon enough, in 8 more days, it'll be a whole new year.
I can't say how fast 2008 has almost gone by in a flash. I can still remember clearly how i celebrated my x'mas and nye last year. It was almost as if these events happened just last week or something.
So it'll be a whole new year, with more resolutions to be made, and more responsibilites to carry. Looking back at the resolutions i'd made last year, i'm glad i've managed to fulfill most of them, and some will still be my resolutions for 2009, or perhaps for the many, many years to come.
I think it's time i stop daydreaming and get some planning done. Afterall, there's not much time left.
Nights all and have a Merry, Merry Christmas!

For the past 2 weeks, I've been reading "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" as part of my required text. And i absolutely love this quote i came across in the book.
What lies behind us and what lies before us
are tiny matters
compared to what lies within us.~Oliver Wendell Holmes~
How true it is. We should always begin by developing our self from within, that is, cultivate our values and principles first. Only then will we be able to make the wisest decisions should a problem arise, for we will now rely on these values to
steer us towards success.
I hope to see the clear blue skies FAST.

I dreamt of you last night
Ye Ye. You looked younger, fitter and healthier. We all miss you very, very much. I hope all's well up there. (:

I'm sorry for being mean but i need to say this...you disgust me - like yuck. I'm looking for genuine conversations and not one filled with incessant crap and harmless flirting. You may be bored, but i'm pretty sure there are other ways you can pass time, other than spouting nonsense by the second to me and to the others.
You seriously need to get a life, a renewal perhaps.

I don't know who to __________ anymore.
I guess I expect a lot out of _______.
Perhaps it's time i change my immatured mindset and learn to depend on myself.
Many thoughts are running through my head right now. It's sort of making me confused. I guess i need sleep. Yes, sleep is always good, for it's my favourite form of escapism from reality.
1 more week to my 3 weeks hols! I REALLY CAN'T WAIT! :D

I've decided! It can be done! It's not that difficult a task to accomplish at all!
I can, if i try hard enough. (:

I had a fabulous evening with Sf today! :D
Went to B&J Fest, which was packed and the queue for the ice cream was super long! Music was good though. We would have stayed longer if the weather wasn't so humid. Thereafter, we headed to B&J at Dempsey to satisfy our cravings. Yet again, there were hordes of people queueing up to get ice cream. Bahhhh. But you know what's the best thing that came out of our trip to Dempsey? We got FREE waffles with ice cream. Hehe. Shan't disclose how we got it, but yeah, we did. :D

Thanks for the lovely evening hun! And i'm happy for you. I really am. Continue to trudge ahead in the path you've chosen, and never look back. I have faith in you. (:

Beautiful song and lyrics. (:
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams
That you've dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams
That you've dreamed of
Dreams really do come true
Someday
I'll wish upon a star
And wake up
Where the clouds are far
Behind me
Where troubles melts
Like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams
That you dare to
Oh why, oh why can't I?
Well, I see
Trees of green
And red roses too
I'll watch them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Well I see
Skies of blues
And clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying how do you do
They're really saying I
I love you
I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
Than really know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Someday
I'll wish upon a star
And wake up
Where the clouds are far
Behind me
Where troubles melt
Like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
And the dreams
That you dare to
Oh, why, oh why can't I?~Somewhere Over the Rainbow~
FALL II is over! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I don't have to guess what my Filipino professor, who speaks in a funny accent, is rambling about anymore! The following (in italics) are what we have heard in his lessons (or so we thought):
- One
tao suan (thousand)
-
Cast (cash) flow
-
Bard (bad) service
-
Niggas are thieves (negatives) and many, many more!
My sty's not going away. In fact, the bump seems to have grown a little bigger during my exam today. I wonder if it thrives in cold temperatures? Yea, my classroom is freezing everyday and we can't do anything about it, cos' nlb uses a centralized a/c system. Bah.
Anyways, tomorrow's the day i finally reunite with my loves, after soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long. I CAN'T WAIT! :D
And now it's time for me to relax and enjoy my long weekend, before the winter sem commences next Tuesday. Freedom is near, Iris! :D

I'm feeling bored and i can't sleep, hence explains this random post in the wee hours of the morning. Mugging's been fine so far, i've got 2 more chapters to go! I CAN, I CAN! :D
1 more day to freedom, 2 more days to reuniting with my loves, and 15 more days to the end of Winter sem! Isn't counting down exciting?
And i'd finally visited the doc for the sty growing on my upper left eyelid. I hope the swell will go down soon, or i'll be walking around scaring people with a huge bump on my eye - like some freak. :O
Okay, tata for now. Wan an!

The thunderstorm has thwarted my jogging plans. Boo. I thought it would end soon, but no, it's been pouring since 4pm. Blah. It looks like i've got to get back to my books soon. And talking about mugging, i'm just so lazy to do so. I guess the gloomy weather has a part to play for my lazyness. =/
Anyways, my left eye's a little swollen. I don't know why. And i'm super lazy to see the doc. Perhaps my eye can heal by itself and fast? (:
May i find the inspiration to mug, mug, mug! 3 more days to my short-lived freedom! GO GO IRIS! YOU CAN! :D

I am feeling mood-less now.
Yet again, the lack of drive and motivation in me is kicking in.
It's time I get
a life and stop daydreaming.
