what do i love, who do i love

Its been a long time since i've last updated my blog; i think many of you will know why. this is a common excuse : "I need an inspiration for myself to blog, if not i won't do it at all." well, im blogging now cuz i do have an 'inspiration' of sorts, more like something compelling me to do it; inspirations in all the wrong places.

I can never forgive myself for what I have allowed to become, the one who sometimes dictates my life has banned me from what I love most, at least, for the time being. But this moment in time is crucial, as with the others, because of what I am missing, who I am missing, what I cannot do, not being able to do what I love to do. It seems as though going through these few days will be like walking through an endless desert with no hope of finding deliverance. I've let my juniors down, for not being able to bring them higher, I've let Mr Poh down, for not being able to ease his difficulties with the band by bringing up the section, I've let my seniors down, many of whom see me as one who does not give up band for anything. I've let my friends down, for not being able to spend time with them, laugh with them, joke with them, share our troubles. Most hurtingly, I've let myself down, for indirectly barring myself from what I truly love most : Band.

Being confined to the home is one of the worst things that can happen to me. Many will say, You've got a computer. You can play it all day long and forget everything else... Games are not my life. They're just there to fill up the empty spaces in my heart, when I have nothing else to fill them with. ok, many would be surprised and perhaps appalled by this statement, but I do believe that i've had my friends to fill up the empty space that used to belong to my dad, lost almost sixteen years ago to the One who created me.

Friends are one of the most important things to me. They're like a second family, one which I love equally as much as I do my own. They show care, concern, give me confidence and relief. In the very least, I always have someone to turn to, to look up to, to look forward to; to confide in, to seek advice, to share my troubles without them being irritated. So many things friends can do with me and for me, I can't possibly list them all. I love my friends. Nothing's going to change that.

well, thanks for sparing me this small mercy and going through this entry. I've gotten much off my chest since days ago. It's time to go out and face my weary troubles again.

'O's comin...happy. sad. sian

The title says it all...'O's are just around the corner...this coming Monday to be exact. I've been studying hard (or maybe not so hard) for all my subjects INCLUDING humanities which I apparently detest so very much. I've been studying physics and chemistry for what seemed to be an endless period of time, so I shouldn't be touching on that for the whole of next week, especially since my physics and chem papers are not next week anyway. Been goin back to do SS with mdm ho in school lately...monday and today. Monday was bad for me lahz. went in the morning den reach home late in the evening. Felt very demoralized as i was bad in my structured essays and my source based (which is always bad, actually. I ALWAYS fail source based.) fortunately I wasn't alone...farzana managed to cheer me up with her motivating words...she could be some kind of cheerleader or something. Even in times of trouble she still keeps herself cheerful...thanks for the encouragement! (err...by the way. i found out today that she WAS a cheerleader in primary school...HAHAHA! sorry ar, dun pinch me when u see me =p)

Today was good la. not a big leap of improvement but commendable to me, at least. Well now I sort of know how to answer questions as they are asked...CONTENT TONE PURPOSE IMPACT! the most important things in source based...not because they are difficult to catch and apply, but because they carry the most MARKS! I wonder why so many students today are so engrossed in getting high marks, high marks, good results, when in fact some of them do not even know the process to get there. It's all the hard work and practice that actually pays off when the Big One comes. well, the 'big one' here actually refers to 'O's in my case. I really hope i can apply what i've learnt when the time comes.

My grandma is cooking porridge on friday!!! well, actually i'm not so sure. I wanna invite my friends over to savour this culinary delight...a taste of heaven! but, i dunno if i have to sacrifice this opportunity to go visiting on friday. in addition...if i DO go visiting on friday...i have to sacrifice another thing...having lunch with sammie! i can't believe it. i already promised her...haiz. gotta see how things go, i guess. *sorry if I can't make it...i promise to make it up to you some other day if i really cant...*

Have to really focus on studying now...i dun even know why i'm on the computer now...i guess everyone needs a little time to de-stress after a long day, even if today wasn't that long in fact.
*sigh*...well, end here la. nothing much to say. and remember, if ANYONE wants me to blog, please...tell me. cuz i won't if nobody wants me to. weird? live with it. =p
