Like we dream impossible dreams

Life is daydreaming when you have more important things to do,
Getting upset over things that don't matter,
and laughing at things that don't make sense

Life is having a crush on strangers,
and falling for the wrong people,
Getting to know people you thought were your friends,
and getting closer to those you never thought you would

Life is falling asleep in class,
and going crazy in the school library
Dying to go home on a busy day
And dying to go back to school when you're lonely
It is trying to make sense of sarcastic remarks in PA,
barely staying awake while teacher is doing sums,
doing chemistry experiments without any results,
and singing your heart out in Bio.

Life is getting your jobs done at the last minute,
and freaking out together after a very hard test,
getting broke on birthdays,
and starting the surprises all over again
planning crazy things for the holidays,
and talking every moment like we are never meeting again.

Life is knowing that some things are wrong, but feeling that everything is right.

Right now, everything is right.

Look at you worrying so much about things you can't change
You'll spend your whole life singing the blues if you keep thinking that way

Don't you see the starlight, starlight

don't you dream impossible things

The End

   Emotional roller coasters are exhausting. I've been up, down, up, ( and mostly down), but I think everything turned out really fine. It's the type of rainbow after the rain thing.

   It started with me getting upset about some really stupid thing. I think that my emo-ness is kinda justified, but still rather stupid. Then I watched Pacific Rim, which was so unexpectedly AWESOME I kinda got really happy for awhile. Also , there is the fact Mr. Jaroque dragged me in his quest to stalk his favorite singer all around Malaysia.  He's seen him for the third time, come on. But of course getting to meet a singer was pretty nice, (not to mention the fact we were the ONLY ONES beside the radio crew who were there to see them). It ends with today I guess, with my semester 2 STPM results out. It all felt like a dream, I still don't believe the results are out. Either way I was a hundred times less stressed than the first time while waiting for my results, and I still have that weird, content feeling, like everything is okay (even though they weren't really that okay lol). And without bothering to list the subjects all out, 3.67, 3.00, 2.33 and 2.00, overall is 2.75. Hey that's pretty okay, there were IMPROVEMENTS! Haha. But I am sure that Sir. Chemist is not very pleased at all, my god, he gave me that 'look' when I was forced to say out all my results in the teacher's office. Why do you always do this to me sir, why!! T_T I am not going to lie though, I am disappointed that Bio, my only hope, was stuck at B. Sigh. Not even a ' + ' behind that B, I could almost see teacher's disappointed face and saying 'you are not serious' again.

Had to stay after school today, and coincidentally there was a friend who was staying too. We were studying quite successfully - at first. Then he just came over and then we were like talking and talking and I only got a few pages of chemistry down. But I count that as an achievement. He did say something that surprised me though.

"You seem so depressed. You laugh so much, that it looks like you are just covering up your pain.'

It was kinda weird, and it is also not true because naturally laughter seems to be my most frequent response to everything. But then it got me thinking, what if he was right? I think that what he said could actually be true, sometimes, but isn't laughter the best way to cover everything up? Besides it being a weird moment, I am actually touched that he said that, it feels like someone is trying to care about me xp.    

Today, once again, since I have this weird thing of adjusting my feelings to feel content about things I shouldn't be content with (did that make sense ?), I started falling into the role of consoling people, I guess. I really don't know what to say anymore because I completely understand what they are worried and upset about, but I am so helpless so I just did the whole act crazy and hope they laugh thing. There is only so much I can say. But please don't be upset, to all the people this may be of concern to, because there is a way, there is always a better way. I still believe what I wrote last time, that there is too much to do, there is no time to get upset. And to quote one of my favorite quotes ever - in the end everything will be okay,  and if it's not okay...

It's not the end.

     

And I had the week that came from hell
And yes I know that you can tell
But you're like the net under the ledge
But I go flying off the edge
You go flying off as well

And if we only die once I wanna die with you

Have a happy day everyone,

It Feels Like One of Those NIghts

Ever wonder about how much better things will be 

If you could say anything you wanted 

Do anything in the world 

Sing anything at the top of your lungs

To whoever you wanted to

And there are absolutely no consequences

Some things are a bad idea 

But you dive into it anyway

One way or another

You make it happen anyway  

Oh dear, let the bad judgements begin ;) 

We're happy free confused and lonely in the best way
It's miserable and magical oh yeah
Tonight's the night when we forget about the heartbreaks, it's time 

火

有些事， 忍一时风平浪静

不关自己的事，

最好是不闻不问

最好是假装看不见

但为什么就是有那种人

世上种种人我都能忍，可以体谅

但为什么就是有些人

明明自己有不对

还能厚着脸皮

扮得清高

若不是自己当初看错了人格，

我岂会这么地生气

有些人，

可以说出种种道理

自认威风

就算再多人能被骗过去

我一眼就能看穿

那种人要的不过是成为焦点

要的不过是自认高尚

有些人

可以惹怒我

可以攻击我

可以诋毁我

我都会一一接受

我都会自己处理

但我不许任何人中伤我最关怀的人

尤其是那种

金玉其外

败絮其中的伪君子

我不清高

也不是什么好人

为了那些鸡毛蒜皮的事， 还是会发脾气

虽然不喜欢争执，
但说话也会狠毒

不许任何人如此激怒我

我虽然不会还击

但你一旦让我看清

我就永远都不会原谅你

Sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know,

Of pushing people down to get you where you want to go

Unwind

    Tests over!!! Yes! I can finally do what I planned to do, at least for today and tomorrow. Then it is back to finishing all the school stuff during the holidays.  As for what I planned to do, it is....

Reading. But reading fiction, for once. I spent the book vouchers on two awesome books, firstly, the one I have currently started reading:

   

the third book in John Grisham's Theodore Boone series, 'The Accused'. I don't know why this was the first book that came into my mind when I was deciding what to buy, I myself didn't even know that I liked this series that much. I read the first one (belongs to my brother), and I guess I had this 'dying to read the continuation' feeling when I finished it. But I couldn't find the second book at the store that I wanted to use the voucher, so I just bought the third one anyway.

Generally, it is about a twelve year old kid who is interested in law, and hangs out in court and I guess tries to be somewhat of a lawyer himself. And then a lot of interesting stuff happens, go figure. I think what I like about the series is that...it has a sort of mature, but not too serious note to the storyline, which is very much my taste. And the language is simple enough without a lot of unnecessary crazy words that strain my brain when trying to read it. Straightforward but meaningful is how I like my writing I guess. Also, it is about a twelve year old kid dealing with the law, I mean how awesome is that xp. The book is not too thick...

      But it is quite expensive 0.0 Wouldn't have bought it if not for the voucher, hehe xp.

And next, the book that I read a bit of, and couldn't put down. But I had to stop anyway cause I wasn't done studying. It is this:

Ta Da!!! Finally got a Stephen King, how outdated am I. But I opted for the one that is....apparently not scary, because me and horror just doesn't mix well. In fact it doesn't have to be horror, as long as it is somewhat disturbing, I prefer not to read it. I tried reading Stephen King's 'Misery' once in the beloved school library, and I stopped even before the scary part started because I can predict what happens next and  it was starting to get disturbing. It was a great read, but I stopped anyway. Maybe I should continue with it someday...

But anyhow, even when reading the first few pages of 11.22.63, I've already started getting obsessed with it. Besides the cool title,  I really think that there is this quality to his writing that lures you in and makes you not want to stop. I don't know what it is, but maybe it is like what Mr. Marlboro said, he makes you seemingly 'know' the character and get interested in the character, even get attached to it. Well I only just started so I don't know about that, but I can feel the 'vibes' , the 'it is going to be a good read' vibes. So the story involves someone going back in time, and it sounds quite typical. But when you read this book, the storyline is so non-typical that you get really interested in what is going to happen next. Ah, can't wait to continue with it!


On another note, just listened to 带我走 by Bell 宇田 yesterday. Even though you can't really hear it while just listening, but there is actually a  Malay phrase in the song: 

Oh Wau Bulan,
屬於你我的紙月亮
夢想在空中 綫在你手中
記得千萬別放手

Yeah the whole Malay plus Chinese thing makes the song even better. And it sounds really poetic too, goes very well with the melody. :D Oh the sentimental songs.

And so I realized that I actually really like it when the lyrics of a song mixes Malay and Chinese (being patriotic?). Another example is 天天天天说爱你/ Aku Cinta Padamu by 阿牛. I was obsessed with the song years ago, and now listening back, I am still kinda obsessing about it. It is such a cute song, and the 'Aku Cinta Padamu' in it? Awwww :3 It makes me miss a lot of people too, the friends that are not with me now. (you know who you are xp). Sigh. I wonder how everyone is doing now.....

请我的你 记得要想起

此时此刻你就在我心里

秋天冬天 下雨或天晴

aku cinta pada mu 

:)

.  Note: Hello Mr. Freedom ;) Thanks for mentioning me in your blog, hahaha!

Have a happy day everyone,
