To answer your question, of course I want to get married.

Of course I want kids, of course I want to come home to a family, to have a place to call home- but I'm just not sure if I want to do it with you.

Don't get me wrong, but I just want to do it right. Specifically, I want my marriage to be right. I don't want to jump into something just because it's there. I don't want to accept a person's flaws, just because he's there.

I'm tired of simply giving in and accepting everything that's wrong.

But for that, I don't really have anyone to blame but myself- for always accepting everything as it is, for being too understanding with men who don't deserve it, and for always blaming myself in every scenario.

What I have maybe what I need, but it's not what I want right now.

I don't do well in crowds. Either I get insanely self conscious, or I start getting paranoid that people are staring / judging / making fun of me. So I make up for it by talking nonsense, or making loud comments.

I should really, really just learn to shut the fuck up. I talk too much, and normally it's a whole lot of nothing- and in the end I am being judged anyway, for having a smart ass mouth that's both filthy and rude.

I feel like I sincerely need to apologize for tonight. Two Christmas dinners and a whole lot of drinks does not bode well for my attitude.

If I could come with a warning label, it would say NOT TOO BAD ONCE KNOWN- DO NOT JUDGE ON SURFACE. Because really, I think I'm a pretty decent person when things (and I) are not fucked up. It'll be nice if you could get to know me a little bit better, because maybe then you'll see that all this noise is mostly a cover up for everything else underneath.

Some days I find myself selfishly not minding getting that lower ranking in April, because even though it could likely mean I would lost my job, it would also easily mean 6 months salary upfront

.... and a chance to start something new.

It's not that I don't like my current job. It's alright, I guess, but I'm ready for my world to change. As much as I am thankful for what I have now, I'm ready, desperately ready, for a change. I want to fall to my deepest low and crawl back out with a lighter head.

"When you've lost everything else, that's when you find yourself"

I want a change so much- I want to change myself, the people around me, the lifestyle I lead. I need to mess everything up and take my time arranging everything again, where and how I see fit.

I want to let go of people who are like the lalang tepi jalan, who say one thing but do something else the next. The indecisives, the ones who aren't sure of who they are and what they stand for.

Not that I'm any different, but I still hold on to some values. Or at least I try. I don't still pretend to like a person once they treat me like shit. I dont' see the point of maintaning friendships with people who don't deserve it. I don't see the point of faking nice to the many, many girls in Malaysia who are really nothing but shallow underneath.

I want to let go of a habit I never really was able to break. I want to find myself and better myself, and see what's so nice about falling in 'love', like everyone seems to be going on about. I want to rave about being happy and feeling happy.

I want to try yoga, go scuba diving, sit on the beach in Mauritius. I want to learn to play the drums, ride a bike, pick up cooking lessons. I want to travel the world, to find new friendships and build better relationships and not get so easily annoyed by the old.

I saw an old man walking by the road today. He was in a tattered shirt and ripped pants. His thin frame and bony face made him look even more tired and frail, as he was pulling himself slowly under the drenching hot sun. I felt like stopping the car and dropping him to where he wanted to be. I felt like giving him some money to get a drink, or maybe a decent meal. I felt like giving him a home, rather than have him out there like that.

But because it was a main road, I couldn't stop. Then I got angry. I got angry at life, and God. I don't know this man but what did he do to deserve a life like this? Why does he give such hardships to some people, yet there are some who simply breeze through life without even caring where they're next meal is coming from? How is all this fair and how does this work? How is a poor man supposed to resist stealing, or being angry with the world, when his situation is such?

They talk about patience, about understanding. I have so many questions, but there isn't really an answer- at least not one which I think makes sense.

I will always be that person who will keep on pushing you, and get irritated at you when you make the smallest mistakes- and that's only because I have that much faith in you for you to do better, because you do deserve better.

But there's only so much I can do, if you're not willing to help yourself.

It's in people like you that I find so much resentment in. People who talk so much about not having an easier life, people who get glassy-eyed looking at everyone else's wealth and luxury, yet refuses to do anything about the situation. Call me racist, but very typical melayu- all talk, and zero action. Cakap je banyak, buatnya tidak.... kinda like the govt, no?

Of course I want a better life- everyone does. I have everything I need, but not everything I want, and I admit that I am willing to keep on working harder to get everything I selfishly want. I do not want to stop simply because I am where I am. The world keeps on moving and you're expected to keep up with it, and I am ready to go.

Yes, I enjoy nights out, I enjoy dinners, movies, travel. I enjoy a lot of things that you contradict me for without realizing it, but I work for my money and I have every right to splash it out in whatever way I see fit. FYI, I've been saving a portion of my salary every month too and not simply throwing money away like you believe I am. Just because you earn less than me and you can't understand and keep up with my lifestyle, doesn't mean I should stop my life and wait for you to.

I've waited for years for you to catch me, or at least overtake me in life, and it's sad that you're content in doing nothing and not wanting a better future for yourself..... and I'm sorry but that's not what I want for the long run. I want someone who's ready to fight, who would do anything possible to ensure a comfortable life for himself. Not someone who's content where they are, yet wants to get married, raise kids, and do so much, but with nothing in hand.

So it's either you keep up with my stride, or you don't.

I was with him, and we were lazing around, just enjoying time together. I can't really recall where we were, but it looked like someone's bedroom or a large studio.... It was just the two of us, and everything seemed to be going so well. We were talking and laughing about nothing in particular, and somewhere between all that he falls asleep.

I remember feeling like a happy little fat kid, just smiling and rolling around next to him, enjoying the calm I felt in my heart. And then I looked to my left - and suddenly there's this other guy I hardly know (he's a mutual friend, we met once or twice, sans the random msn conversation) and he smiles, and then leaned in to kiss me!

All this while he was sleeping next to me. I was resisting the urge to kiss him back, but I found myself enjoying this random person. I was drinking every bit of him in, while sneaking little glances to make sure the other he was really asleep. This guy, this stranger, seemed to be really into me and I couldn't help but just be suckered into it- we ended up talking, lacing hands with each other, and I remember feeling a new sense of happiness, something new, something better, something I knew would be more valuable.

It was of course, a dream, and I woke up feeling excited, like I was half-expecting something dirty to happen today. I'm ready for my life to get picked up like a snowglobe and shaken all over the damn place.

But the realistic side of me just had to be a bitch and remind me that dreams mean nothing- it's just a dream after all, right? But the blonde side of me can't help but build myself up and take this as a sign of better things to come. That I shouldn't stay with him just because, when I know in my heart (like how I've always known) that things aren't going to work out in the long run- there are other people out there who will treat me better, and love me how I, like everyone else, rightfully deserve it.

Either that or I'm probably going to end up cheating on him -_-

The clearest difference of a man and a woman, is that while a woman stays up crying, blaming herself for what went wrong, the man probably finished his can of beer, and another level on his PS3 before turning in to bed.

I need to grow some balls and be more of a man.

It's because everyone is selfishly seeking their own happiness.

It's because everyone is extremely selfish, and everyone is chasing their own idea of paradise. Everyone is so desperate for love, to be in love, and loved in return, that they will do anything and go to any extreme- cheating on partners, taking married men, accepting a person who cheats, going back to someone who physically and emotionally hurts them.... all in hopes that this person might be the one, that this is love, that this is how it should be.

We talk so much of getting hurt, of being hurt, but why do we purposely hurt others the way we wouldn't want it to hurt us? Why would a woman hurt another of their own kind that way? When you get involved- be it emotionally or physically- with a person when they are dating someone else- what makes you think they won't do it to you? It shows what kind of person they really are underneath and it's not a pretty picture. Just remember that once it's been done, it can be done again, and again, and again. Nothing ever really stops completely- a junkie is destined to relapse and an alcoholic will drink again, maybe not now and maybe not permanently, but chances are someone who is recovering and is trying to walk again, will fall, at least once.

Underneath it all, we are all selfish. We only put our happiness first, and we selectively block out the 'other person' because we think we can make them happier, or we can be happier, or better. So we believe what they say, even though our heart and mind tells us not to. Even though common sense tells us not to.

You talk so much about about finding true love, about being in love with the one, about raising a family and having your own children.... but how do you expect to do it all the right way, when the person you're seeing is in a relationship with someone else? How can you even begin your journey of happiness with them, when it started off with another person's pain?

"Selagi kita sendiri tak baik, macam mana kita nak attract yang baik?"

I only have pictures of Day 1 & Day 2 for some reason... and oddly enough I can't for the life of me really recall what happened with the other days.

This was probably my first Raya in KL in years, since I'm normally back home in Singapore with either my mom's or my dad's side of the family for the first part of the celebrations every year. This year however I decided to stay back alone (since everyone's schedule was clashing), and it was actually mad awesome since I was with my amazing friends for the most part of it :)

There are some things you just can't talk about. Not to your closest friends, or even to the guy who's always there for you.

How would I start anyway? How do I tell them that I've just driven past my old house just because I missed the people who I havn't seen in over 6 years? How does that not make me sound like a emo-pathetic person who's still hung up on her past?

The truth is, I still think about them sometimes. I still think about cause and effect, and everything that's happened. It comes rarely these days, but when it does, it's overwhelming....

The house is still beautiful, and I can still remember how it looks inside.

..........

That's how I've been feeling lately. I have little flashes of epiphanies in my head, then I get distracted by something else and I end up forgetting what it is I wanted to say in the first place.

And it's the same with my life. I have so many plans, wants, needs, dreams and hopes, but nothing has moved me enough to actually get to it. I'm stuck in this hole that is my everyday routine, and it's high time I dug myself out of it and started... well I don't know, planting flowers around the damn plot or something.

Out of the list I started a few weeks ago, I reckon I could slowly start crossing things off- I need to stop waiting for next month or next year to start fresh. There's nothing wrong in starting from right now, is there?

I don't know if I'm getting pretty jaded, but contrary to everyone else's review on how they cried buckets of tears watching 'The Time Traveler's Wife' and 'My Sister's Keeper', I didn't see anything that was really heart-wrenching in either movies.

I think I cry more everytime I watch Grey's Anatomy -_-

The good thing about having someone to bug all the time is having someone who will do stuff with me when I'm bored. I hate making plans and most of my trips are very spur of the moment, I'm bored - let's go right now kind of trips, and last week it was his turn to surprise me with a random roadtrip to Port Dickson.

Have to admit that I was a little bummed when I heard we were going to PD- the only times I've ever really been there were during the raves circa my dazed and confused younger years and the 2 day Freedom Festival last year, and I remember the waters being really brown and murky and the crowds being mostly really dodgy-malay. But he was so set on going that I didn't want to break his little heart so I hesitantly tugged along...

But I cheered up the second I saw the outline of the waves! I guess I'm a complete sucker for beaches, murky or not.He brought us to this quiet nook somewhere after Tanjong Tuan and just before the new Thistle Hotel, and I was so surprised to see that the waters were semi-blue! I was so excited that I dove in, and we spent hours in the water (literally, we got there at 11 and we came out of the waters at 3). The waters were clear enough that you could see your toes at the bottom of the seabed. You know how amazing that is for a crummy beach like Port Dickson??

Needless to say I was as black as Kanye West when I came home. My face is still peeling pretty badly, and I have noone to blame but myself for being such a smart alec and not getting sunscreen!


Yes I have a 'Lynfunkstar' nameplate necklace, but I swear I never use it!


The beach! My BB doesn't really have a good camera option -_-



And yes, that was and still is, how bad my sunburn was- the skin on my arm has yet to peel though the burn on my face has gotten significantly better than looking like a burn victim a few days ago. I was tan in some areas and darker in some patches, it made me look so horrible! I've been slapping on moisturizers of every size and shape on my face ever since, but my skin's still pretty dry and flaky :(

Having said this, my Pissy Sister and I will be driving off to Langkawi on Monday for three days- but this time I'm bringing the sunscreen!
