twitter
For most people twitter is a major social platform where you follow thousands and be followed by thousands. It’s like watching the news, getting updated constantly at real time. Gossip central.
Twitter is more a place where I release what goes on in my head, “private” thought processes to an audience I know and am comfortable with. Facebook is a major broadcasting station, I...

your love is just a lie
I guess in the end, I finally know who you really are inside. To be fair I knew all along and I never withdrew my love, in fact I loved you more and I wanted to see only the best in you.
Knowing it was true that you were using me somehow brought me relief. Finally I can say to myself that there is no reason why I should bother reconnecting with you. You lied to me over and over. You had no qualms...

reconciliation
Finally spoke to you properly the other day after 4 years. Even mich kept count. I am glad though and hopefully we get a good chat tomorrow night!
As for you, lunch was great! I am glad we got to talk things out and come to a consensus. I am grateful that we both desire to be better friends. You aren’t as bad as people made you out to be or perhaps you have changed. Either way, it’s...

friend or foe
There is much about you that I dislike. There is much of your behaviour and character that I cannot accept. I am unable to comprehend your “popularity” and “reputation”. I will never understand your “attractiveness” or “abilities”.
I have no problems thinking the worse of you. To turn every strength of yours into a weakness and amplify all of your...

it's a fine line.
Something I wrote months back. It feels like it needs to be re-visited.
Sometimes, what I say is a projection of my wishful thinking. and most of the time, I am aware that it is not going to be reality but I say it for the fun of it, because it is entertaining anyway. to me it’s like talking about the life of a rock star you would always wish you could have but would never want because ...

"That Girl"
Oh, tonight I’m feeling fine I’m alone, just wasting time No Friday movie nights Or romantic candle lights I’m just having conversations With the thoughts in my head All I hear are angels crying Oh, won’t they just sing instead It would be wrong for me to say I don’t need that girl by my side I don’t need that girl in my life I don’t want to...

on hold
I thought I would have more time to do stuff during my internship but I was wrong.
My tumblr still seems like an empty shell. I guess I’d start to flesh it out soon.
Pictures, work and thoughts.
So much I want to do but so little time!

Just the way you are
Oh her eyes, her eyes Make the stars look like they’re not shining Her hair, her hair Falls perfectly without her trying She’s so beautiful And I tell her every day Yeah I know, I know When I compliment her She wont believe me And its so, its so Sad to think she don’t see what I see But every time she asks me do I look okay I say When I see your face There’s...

Thanks.
I am grateful for the few christian friends I have in my life. They remind me what it means to be a child of God and how I should handle situations in a more “godly” way. They seem to understand my struggles and they give advice I should heed.
I am blessed. I know I am.. and I guess I’d stay on my feet as long as I can.

why should I bother?
There is no reason to share how I really feel anymore.
There is no reason to be transparent or easy to read.
There is no reason to “volunteer” information about myself as if anyone is interested.
There is no reason to ask or be concerned about someone’s life.
There is no reason for bonds or relationships or attachments.
There is no reason for loyalty or a sense of...

Friendship
You know it is true friendship when:
your friend buys a calling card specially just to call you from overseas and she decides to make it a point to call you every once in awhile just to check how you are.
your friend texts you everyday even thought she’s miles away, just to stay connected, despite the 12 hour time difference.
your colleague bothered to use a public phone to call just to...

apology accepted
sometimes I wonder if I accept apologies too quickly. If I dish out forgiveness too easily despite not truly knowing if the apologies are genuine at the first place.
Singaporeans are too apologetic. We give out apologies like candy on Halloween. When do we truly mean it?
You apologised only for one half of the situation perhaps because you don’t know the full extent of the hurt you have...

pictures
When I see pictures of you it feels like a part of me still doesn’t realise you have left and another thinks you’d be back.
I know in my head that you are gone for good. But there you are still living in my heart. I might have locked you away for good in the recesses of my mind but you still exist at the back of my head.
I can’t shake off the memories. It’s like I am...

I give a damn.
I give a damn that we are polluting the air, land and sea.
I give a damn that some parents can’t even afford school fees.
I give a damn that the polar bears in the Singapore Zoo are suffering.
I give a damn that local artistes are denied a chance to sing.
I give a damn that youths, not knowing what to do, are ending their lives.
I give a damn that men out there are beating their wives.

"Stained Glass Masquerade"
Is there anyone that fails Is there anyone that falls Am I the only one in church today feelin’ so small Cause when I take a look around Everybody seems so strong I know they’ll soon discover That I don’t belong So I tuck it all away, like everything’s okay If I make them all believe it, maybe I’ll believe it too So with a painted grin, I play the part again ...

eager eyes
I am over-eager like a damn puppy dog.
I guess it’s my way of showing interest but I lose interest quickly when it is not reciprocated which isn’t that bad a thing.

miles away
it’s sad how the two people I wanna be with the most at the moment are overseas.
but I think this october, I’d head off to perth and leave NYC for next year.
this is also why I heart technology so. being able to stay connect despite the distance.
I wish I didn’t have to miss them. I wish they don’t have to leave. I wish they could stay here with me.
you say...
