Come to think of it, I actually feel blogs are scary. Personal journals or diaries are safer and more personal , but I somehow still prefer blogging. Guess I'm just weird. Or. Perhaps because of my handwriting?

Let me talk about blogs first. I was just blog surfing few weeks ago when I came across a few blogs linking me yet I don't know them! Scary! To those who have linked me but I never link you, do tag me and give me your url links. Thank you!

Diaires(or personal journals) are handwritten. And I, for one, don't quite like my handwriting. It's not consistent and I still have yet to perfect it. It's not even nice, to start with. That's one reason why I don't own one(well, I used to back in primary and early secondary days). Maybe I should start doing both since I have empty books(notebooks) to spare. This way, I can improve my handwriting too.

There's so many things I want to say, but I just don't know where to start. I don't feel myself. I feel weird, confused. And I'm still trying to accept myself a little bit more each day, but it's hard. I'm definitely not at peace with myself. Don't know when the day will come. I hate all these struggling. And I definitely do not like hypocrites. People who say one thing then does the other. Or people who have two sides to themselves - those that are nice to you in front of you and then turn 360 degrees behind your back, backstabs you or something. Why can't the world just be a better place? Why is there wars, discriminations, etc? Nothing's perfect, ONLY GOD. So all I can do is to pray that GOD will help me to be at peace with myself, guide me to be a better person and do well in studies.

I feel better now. Back to listening to RUI EN songs to keep me going on in life. :)

Hmm. I went out with Er Mei(Wb) and San Mei(Mich). And Kaileng joined us later on. I was late meeting Er Mei and San Mei. Met them outside MOS at Taka. I've been late this few times I meet them, and I don't know why cuz I'm usually early or on time.

Anyways. The 3 of us then went over to Mcdonalds to slack our time there. Mich and Wb bought their meal and had a super early dinner. Mich bought Mcspicy meal and it was hilarious. Wb took Mich's meal back to the table as Mich went to buy milkshake at another counter towards outside of Mcdonalds. And here's the funny part. Mich came back with another McSpicy meal as the counter person called for her to tell her that her meal's there. And when she came back, there was 3 meals! LOL!

We slacked at Mcdonalds till about 5pm then we decided to search for a present for DEAREST RUI EN. While walking over to Far East Plaza, something extremely funny happened. We were like walking pass a group of people promoting for a christmas event thingy, and I was like speaking in chinese and this lady was like "你会讲华语的啊?" then Mich and Wb laughed hysterically. Hahahahah. So we just stopped to listen to what she had to say. It's basically about some actual christmas meaning thingy. But, this wasn't the funniesty part. It was after the lady said "你会讲华语的啊?". Mich and Wb repiled: "Why ask same question as RUI EN?" So this lady, who coincidently likes RUI EN too, was like asking me, "You are RUI EN's da jie(or sister or something like that)?" And the 3 of us started laughing hysterically. Apparently what this lady and I heard was "RUI EN's da jie("or sister or something like that)?" I was wondering "Does she really support RUI EN? Doesn't she know that RUI EN is an only child?"

We laughed until like we're super mad that we can be admitted to Woodbridge Hospital(mental hospital). So freaking funny! How could you not know that RUI EN is an only child? Besides, I'm mixed blood, french and chinese. Does RUI EN even look like french mix with chinese type of person? And do I look older than RUI EN who is 27 this year(year 2008)? If yes, then I've really aged a lot. DANG! LOL! Truly fascinating.

Anyway, we went to Far East Plaza to look for DEAREST's present. We walked around Far East and looked at the THREE 77th street shops and finally bought something. Only the 4 of us knows. A secret to the rest! Hahah. But it's definitely something nice and "Thank you, Kaileng! For your opinion. A good opinion." ;)

Dinner time was approaching after buying the present. So we decided to head back to Taka's Yoshinoya for dinner. Well, it's my decision actually. Since Wb and Mich had their early dinner, and Kaileng(DA JIE DA!) and I are both on budget(we ain't rich). Hahaha. And the other two just looked at us eat and slack at the same time. After that the 2 younger ones went back first while DA JIE DA and I continued to hang out.

Kaileng and I went to Far East Plaza as she wanted to buy something that caught her eye earlier on. When we reached there, she saw her friend. After that, we proceeded to get her stuff then she called her friend and we met up with two. We went to Ya Kun Kaya Toast at Level 1 first before heading to the fountain at Level 2 to sit as it was closing time. We chatted til 11 ish when the lights were starting to go off then we headed to Orchard Mrt Station to head home. I reached home just a little after midnight. I really enjoyed the chat. Hope to meet up with DA JIE DA and her two friends again to continue with the chatting. :)

That's all for now. Gonna surf the net a little while more before sleeping. Have to wake up by 11am as parents and I will be going to Goodwood Park Hotel for our family lunch. :D

Reading the interview with RUI EN on LIFE! today on Straits Times has really made me understand her more. And there are more common things between us. We need to accept ourselves a little bit more as we get older.


I ain't 100% accepted myself, but I am trying very hard to reach that 100%. I always feel like an outsider looking in, be it at home or outside. Except when I'm with my very good friends, which is less than 10. You don't need to have a group of very good friends/best friends/close friends, just a few will do. Because not all of them will stick thru thick and thin with you until you grow old, only a handful. What RUI EN said in the whole article is so very true.


Now. I have more quotes from RUI EN that really gets to me.

- "Many people say no when asked if they would change anything about their lives. Well, I would change the first 24 years of my life." (For me of course, it wouldn't be first 24 years of my life as I'm not that age yet, though I feel more like her age).

- "I used to be really angsty. That's the thing I like about getting older. You accept yourself a little bit more. I used to hate myself." (Well, I still hate myself, but not as much. And I gotta learn to accept myself a little bit more each day).

- "I was looking for ways to fill the emptiness that I felt." (People are always looking for ways to fill the emptiness in them, including me).

- ["I didn't want to be a victim anymore. I didn't want to use my broken family as an excuse for my bad behaviour anymore. I had to grow up." -> So she quit smoking and drinking. She quit wanting to be famous and popular. And most significantly for her career, she quit doing kissing and intimate scenes.] (Taken from the article, well actually, all of the quotes are. This was the time around 2004, therefore, since then no more kissing and intimate scenes were seen in her characters. And the result of that decision is that her opportunities now are very much limited, because generally, such kissing scenes are required.) < -> (Nevertheless, she will have us, ardent fans and supporters of hers. I know there are fans of hers, me included, who still hope for that slight possibility of just a kissing scene that is more than a peck on the cheeks or lips, but whatever her decision, we'll still support her. As for me, I still smoke and drink, BUT OCCASIONALLY).

- "I don't understand why people are fearful of being alone. I love being alone." (One more thing in common between us. Just that there are times I don't want to be alone, but very seldom. I'm actually alone most of the time, like 90% of the time when I'm home).

- Also, she seems to have a fear of relationships. Currently single, she says she regrets all the romantic relationships she had till now and admits she might never get married.
"My mother is quite upset and has said to me, 'Please don't use us as an example'. But when you grow up in that environment, you become careful. I would rather not put my welfare or my fate in the hands of somebody else."
Then why did she do this heart-to-heart interview, which certainly requires a great amount of trust?
"I am hoping that kids who read this might realize that no matter how bad your family situation is, you have a choice not to be a victim," she says. (I, for one, am trying not to be a victim, though my situation is somewhat different from hers. I don't know my dad, but saw a pic of him before. It's ok to ask me about my dad, though I don't know him. And you don't have to apologize when I say I don't have a dad, because I simply don't know him).


Ok. Maybe I wrote a little too much. But this is what I feel. I just had to let it out. Plus, I haven;t been blogging about my personal life. But, this is my blog and I'll blog what I want. How personal? Well, up to me. That's all for now! :)
