The Fish.

Guppy.
Thank you for the note on my table.
It's really sweet of you to do that.

You know,
it's the little things we do for each other that counts.
That really means a lot to me.

I hope things will be alright again.
I'll leave it to Fate this time. (:

xoxos,
Harabuchi.

P.S.2:

Sweet Corn.

Hey Mayzers.
I appreciate the message a lot.
Don't worry,
it's not putting your nose into my business at all.

It's called being concerned.
It's called being a friend.

I am really grateful for your understanding.
(:

Sincerely from,
Your forgetful Granny. ;)

P.S.:
Photo credits to the beloved Jagung. :D

Romance is In the Air.

The Lake House.
Fairuz said I should watch it,
and she emphasized that Keanu Reeves is in it.
Missed it on Channel 5,
will find time to watch it.
Soon.

When In Rome.
Romantic comedy.
Had many bad reviews in the papers.
But who cares?
Still looks promising to me.

I welcome more recommendations on any romantic flicks you might know of.
(:

Thought VII.

I can't bring myself to smile like I really mean it.
My head hurts, my heart hurts.
Even by forcing myself to smile,
I'm just being a hypocrite.

I'm told to do something.
Do what exactly?
Talk to her? Apologise to her?
Pretend like this didn't happen at all?
I don't know anymore.

All my life,
whenever shit like this happens,
whenever I seek advice from my friends,
mostly those who are older than me;
they all tend to tell me the same things.

Firstly; ignore.
Secondly; talk to her first.

I'm tired of being the first one to fix things.
I had been told that if I'm the one who made the first move,
it's actually commendable,
because it meant that I wanted things to be like before.
I actually had the initiative to solve the problem.

Well, in my humble opinion,
in this particular matter,
I had already done it.
Right from the very beginning.

I apologised and explained myself.
But my apology was not accepted.
I'm sure to be miffed about it, seriously.

So when she apologised,
I admit, I was upset.
Because I wasn't taken seriously before when I said sorry.
I was angry, mad, sad.

Instead of giving me the time to think things over,
more misunderstandings happened.
I was confronted and I felt accused.
Fragile.
Easily broken.
Scarred.

And once more,
I'm expected to be the one who makes the first move.
Again.
I mean, give me a good reason why.
Seriously.

She looks happy without me.
She looks like she's not bothered by this at all.
She looks normal.
She looks fine.

Who knows?
I'm not her.
Maybe she's hurt,
deep inside.
Maybe she doesn't show it.

I'm at loss now.
I want things to be alright,
but past experiences had enlightened me enough.
Me making the first move?
It always end up with me on the losing side.
I'm traumatised enough.
Does anyone understand that..?

All this indifference is making me insane.
I'm tired.
I'm really tired.

Advice I.

Two words -
cheer up.
Another two words -
do something.
©Gurpreet Kaur Sandhu.
I thank you for your good intentions Gup.
It just so happens that your second set of two words,
made me plunge deeper into unhappiness.

Don't worry,
I don't blame you one bit.
You're just trying to help.
I understand.

If I'm given a chance to rewind time,
I would go back to the days when we were like this.

I miss us.

Acceptance.

This is Anith.

This is Liyana.

These two had been so close to me,
yet so far for the past five years of me studying in SIGS.
I had been idiotic to have not known that before,
so I'm glad they gave me a second chance to make up for my bitchy behaviour.

They welcomed me into the Physics Family.
Since then, I never looked back.

Both had been through tough shit in their lives,
which had made them so mature and strong.
Anith exudes cool, and though she's quiet, she has a lot going on in her mind.
And Liyana has this habit of pampering me with pet names and pinching my cheeks.
She finds me just ah-dorable. Hahah.

I never would had known that Anith has a lot of wise opinions on the many things in life.
I never would had known that there's a grown-up side of Liyana as well.

These two people are the first faces I see every morning when I go to school.
By the time I step into the canteen,
they're already there.
Just seeing them sit at that particular spot each morning,
is enough to give me that reassurance.

They never judged me,
and they're the pioneers who paved the road of acceptance for me.

I don't know where else to find gems like them.

It's A Toy Story.


These people will be Anna, Azri, Salmi, Nadwa and Ain to you.
It's amazing how I wasn't as well acquainted with them before,
since all of them except for Ain had been taking Japanese lessons with me.
Those are a few years wasted,
and that shall be one of my regrets in life.

But thankfully,
all that matters is now.
I had been spending a lot of time with them.
Especially this year,
since we were involved in quite a number of school activities together.

I'm grateful for what they had been doing for me.
I'm thankful they accept me for being myself.
They put in so much effort just to see me smile.
I know two of them had cried because they know I'm not okay.
It pains me that it hurts them when I'm the one who's down.
They don't deserve to be unhappy when I am.

Because as long as they're happy,
I am too.

You've got a friend in me, guys.
"Aku sayang korang banyak-banyak."

"When Will I See You Again." - The Three Degrees.

Hey friend.
I know you love me.
I love you too.
Can't wait till I could see you face-to-face again.
At that moment,
we'll talk about anything and everything,
and spend some quality time together.
Thanks for everything for the past 17 years,

Message II.

Hey you.
Yes, YOU.
The one who is so dear to me.
I know why we ain't talking.
On your side?
It's because I refused to talk even after you said sorry.
You got offended by my Facebook status.
You're hurt by my actions.

What about me?
I find it all so idiotic we're not talking over such a small matter.
In fact, you weren't the only person who was mad.
I was mad as well.
Mad because you were mad over this.
Mad because you made a fuss of it.
Mad at myself because it had to happen in the first place.
And when I said sorry,
even if I didn't think it was my fault,
you said there was no point.

If there was no point,
why get mad at me in the first place?
That's what I really don't understand.
This confusion you're placing me in,
caused me to act like how I did before you discovered my Facebook status.
Which to me,
I considered it as history already.
It didn't apply to me anymore.
I can't blame you for not having an Internet connection then,
but you blew it up again.
I just hope you'll read the date of whatever I post on Facebook next time.

I'm not putting the blame on you 100%.
I know I have my faults too.

Knowing you,
I don't think this is affecting you one bit.
You'll just put it aside and you'll go on with life as usual.
But you are clear that things like this will bug me for a very long time.
It hurts.
You look happy.
But I won't know.
Because I'm not you.

I tried to step into your shoes.
You're tired.
You're exhausted.
You have so many responsibilities.
You have so many things to juggle.
I understand.

All I want is some understanding from you as well.
That in a fight,
both parties are at fault.
I will never entirely pushed the blame to you.

I watched Anna's video on her blog.
The day we sang and danced and did random stuff.
I cried mainly because of one reason.

I wondered if we can ever be that close again.

I looked back at our photos together.

I wondered if we can ever stand right next to each other without any sore feelings in a photo again.

I dreamt of us talking like the old times.

I wondered if we can ever have a conversation together again.

You were snoring softly when you went to sleep after finishing your paper today.

I wondered if I can ever make fun of you about it and kid around with you again.

Hey you.
I miss you a lot.
I don't know about you though.

I just want you to know,
I treasure you a lot.
I treasure us a lot.

You were there for me when shit happened to me.
I will be there for you if shit happened to you as well.

If you let me.

I'm sorry all of this has to happen.
I doubt you'll see this anyway.
But I really need to get this out of my system.

I miss you.

"She Commited Suicide, Right in My Arms."

Mr. Ric O' Barry.
An active activist.
Got jailed and multiple injuries -
to free dolphins in captivity.

Another great man introduced to us by Mr. Kung.
The whole class was disappointed because we didn't get to finish 'The Cove'.
Click here to be redirected to his Wikipedia page.

Something to look forward to this Friday at least.

I fell in love with this scent after I entered The Body Shop just to randomly try out products.
They're having a 30% discount for this darling right now.

Thought VI.

"Only three days of exams over so far?
How am I going to survive for the next two weeks?
I seriously have no clue.
Somebody needs to drag me away from the online world.
I'm too distracted to study anything at all."

"I might go and watch the Battle of the Bands competition organised by SSI's Music Club.
Have not asked for my parents' permission yet though.
Anybody else interested?"

"I miss you.
I'm sad we're like this.
But knowing our similar personalities,
none of us will say sorry first,
for the second time.
They say time heals everything.
Well, I really hope so."

"I miss you too.
Looking at the letters you passed to me.
Your words, your innocent humour, your adorable spelling.
Never fails to make me smile.
Why do you have to be so far away though?
I miss the times when I could just text you or talk to you on the phone."

"I have this fear that I will be forgotten one day."

"I miss what we had."

"I'm thankful for the daily tickles and smiles.
Thank you ballerina."

"A smile from my friends is enough to assure me that everything is okay."

"Can I actually do well for SPM 2010 and not let my parents down?
The answer - a big fat hairy question mark in my head."

****
Moral paper tomorrow.
Wish me luck.
And lucks to the rest of us fifth formers having examinations.

Once it's over,
it's merely semi-freedom.

Cross Culture.

And that's the theme for my school's Teacher's Day celebrations this year. Honestly, I still haven’t figured out how the theme connects to the decorations and the performances though.

Attendance today wasn’t as extremely horrible bad as Saturday’s.

First job of the day? Place cupcakes into the bags that serve as door gifts.

The two designs are as of the following:


I like the first one more though. The pink flowers were waaay more ah-dorable but since they were already placed into separate bags, I just had to settle with random cupcakes from randomly picked bags.

Took pictures on the red carpet with some friends. It was fun knowing we had to rush because we never knew when the teachers would just appear out of nowhere witnessing our crime. :D

This year’s decorations were extravagant. We had Christmas lights, a flamboyantly-decorated arch, two large vases of artificial white roses, and a long winding pathway of red carpets. Yes, carpets with a ‘s’.

The colour purple was really flooding the hall today. That colour never fails to remind me of Vee and Irene, who loves purple. (:

I thought I would feel so lost today, thankfully Anna and Azri were easy to spot and I also was lucky to have the company of Nadwa, Ain, Salmi and Shera. Hung out with them 95% for today, and I’m ever so grateful for that.

Bullying Hana during recess was also uber awesome. :P

Highlights of the day:
  • En. Ismail with his cowboy hat and blue accoustic guitar singing 500 Miles and Top of the World with some other teachers and one staff member. He looked damn cool! ;D
  • The practical/new teachers dancing to Bad Romance. The lead was certainly enjoying herself. Hahah!
  • The sketch by the practical/new teachers. I was randomly asked by Munnie to be the person who carries the cards depicting the different time zones in the sketch at the very last minute. My major part got cut out, but for being part of the madness backstage, it was pretty awesome. (:
  • Referring to the matter above, I was told I was cute, thanks to El. And Anna said I was prancing on stage. Oh gosh. Lol much! :3
  • Miss Low who got 'Teacher of the Year' with her shiny bling-bling tiara. Yes you read that right.
  • Cik Mahani and Chee-sensei made a lot of effort to dress up for the event. The only teachers I took pictures with for today. :]
On another note, I hope the person who stole Liyana's stuff will actually figure out how idiotic she is in taking something that doesn't belong to her.

Mid-years starting from tomorrow.

I guess that marks a hiatus till the holidays most probably.

Take care y'all, and stay alive!

Credits to Anna Sabrina Ahmad Sopian. (:
xoxo,
NL.

Skinover II.

Hello readers! I decided that I needed a new look for my blog, since I know that the font was killing some of you and I had complaints that it was too plain.

Well, not like I changed because of these comments, but more to the fact that I needed to inject more colour into this blog, since..well, I do have that bit of colour in my life right now. Blessed is me. (:

So after the exams, expect me to update regularly. Normally I have more motivation to blog every time I change my blogskin.

Mid-terms are starting from this Tuesday onwards. I'm waiting to flunk.

Goodnight world, and I heart you!

xoxo,
NL.

"I Love You!"

Today, a wise man talked to us about choices and asked us a question,

“When you fall down in life, you have two choices in life.
What would you choose to do,
give up or get up?”

Today, a wise man also talked to us about love and encouragement and asked us another question,

“Would you be the person who gives unconditional love and encouragement to the people around you, or would you be the one who makes them fall over the edge?”

Today, the same wise man has managed to enlighten those who really paid attention to his words, about the simple things in life that we tend to take for granted.

How a simple act of love can change someone’s life.

How it is just awesome to be ourselves.

This wise man, introduced to us today by Mr. Kung, would be..

Nick Vujicic.


You’re one inspiring and awesome man, sir.
Chicken drumstick and all.

Confessions I.

I once mentioned this to two of my saviors during my darker days last year, Gurpreet and Jia Ying.

"I really dislike it when people respond to me with an, "I don't know."
That's why I avoid saying that whenever I could,
because if I don't like others saying it,
others might not like it when I say it too."


This time, I'm going to say this, loud and clear.

"I really don't know."

I had never felt like this since last year.

I never argued with you guys before.

I'm upset things had to turn out like this.

I tried to talk, but nothing came out of my mouth.

When I tried to defend my stand, I got shot down instead. Which caused more bloodshed.

I thought what I did could fix things, apparently it got worse.

So I gave up trying.

I know what I'm doing, and if you guys feel the hurt and the awkwardness, well, so do I.

It isn't a one-sided effect okay.

I'm just sorry things had to turn out like this.

I do not understand why are we like this for such a small matter!
We handled more complicated issues with better states of mind.

And I apologised, but received negative feedback.
So I thought if that's the case, I'll not talk unless I'm talked to first.
I thought that way because I assumed once you guys start talking to me,
everything would be forgiven and forgotten.
I admit, emotions got the better of me as well.
I got pissed because I was given such negative feedback.
I assumed and took for granted that the replies are going to be,
"It's okay. I forgive you. I'm sorry too."
But I didn't get it, and emotions ran wild.
Things had been happening at home too.
I just have no channel to express anything now.
Bottled-up, and sealed.
The burden is starting to drain me though
I know the Facebook status had caused more unnecessary problems too.
Shouldn't had left it there too long.
We're now back to square one because of it.

I have no idea when is this going to end.
Hopefully soon.

I watched the video on Anna's blog.
Makes me laugh and cry at the same time already.
When can we go back to the old times..?

I'm a stubborn coward.
Sometimes principles get the better of me.

Hiatus.
I need the break.
