Think positive

Maybe I should just stop complaining for a while.

I mean how often do I get to be 19 and studying for a diploma in Food Science.

Bleak

I am young and tired of life.

Tired of every disappointments.

Come what may

Bitter heart oh bitter heart tries to keep it all inside.

No rewind.

Carelessness+Didn't study properly= Term test is a sure GONER for me.

Sigh. Sometimes I wish life has a rewind button. Really, I do...

Wait

In or out?
I don't know.
Correct or wrong?
I don't know.
Yes or no?
I don't know.
Maybe, Maybe not.

Up and down. Down and up.

Dear God,

Thank you for the testimonies you've given me. Though I am not ready to share them yet, I promise I will one day... when I am strong enough to.

Amen.

I felt the rain.

I am going to allow myself to skip all that.
Till then.

Dreaming is my forte

Sometimes I wish I was somewhere else... doing nothing but just watching the world go by.

But then again, I like being busy too.

See the irony?

Endurance

My patience is being put to the test AGAIN.

Weird in a good way

Oh my, how time flies!! It seems like yesterday when my semester exam had just ended and I am busy packing my luggage for my two weeks of holiday in Shanghai. Then I came back, had my 19th birthday... a couple of outings with my besties and here I am... packing my Jansport backpack because...

School's starting tomorrow!
And for the first time...
I actually am feeling optimistic about school.
Haha! :D
Though I know that this might be the busiest semester ever.

Random photos

A pair of young fighting fish from Lixian.
So cute! Haha :D

Successful Macarons!

The macaron shells (:

Before popping the shells in the oven.

On my 19th Birthday

Marina Barrage!

The kind photo you take at the entrance of a place.

Nice view, huh. (: You can see the flyer too.

Group shot. Lixian look exceptionally tall here.

Macarons Madness!

Make a wish then Opening the "present" which is actually nothing but lots of uncooked pasta

Enjoying the macarons :D

This is even more meaningful

"I believe that everything happens for a reason.
People change so that you can learn to let go,
things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right,
you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself,
and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

— Marilyn Monroe

THANKS WANNING! :D

The Power of Reminiscence

Matters of the heart is always downright complicated and it is something I am still unable to comprehend well till today and probably never will. Well, yesterday's indulgence in reminiscence with my friends of HaiFamily taught me something valuable- which is never to trust anyone but only God almighty. Like how, I would never trust my own heart again. Because it led me to nothing but disappointment and guilt. I would pray and only pray to God about everything because I don't trust myself anymore.

Plainly meaningful

Broken hearts are what give us strength and understanding and compassion.

A heart never broken is pristine and sterile and will never know the joy of being imperfect.

All over again.

I am so going to watch Leon The Professional all over again later.
And maybe cry.
Haha.
Nah, just kidding.

Haha.

Really hahaha... It made me laugh. I am just happy la.
I just realised that...
It was actually an old friend who msg-ed me after Yan Fang.
I didn't know cause I lost most of my contacts when my phone crashed.
I mean even my childhood bestfriend didn't wish me.
So how can I expect my primary school friends to do so right?
But apparently one of them did :D

No wonder

my eyelids kept twitching on Sunday during lunch at LerkThai with HaiFamily. They couldn't stop twitching. Well, you know what they say. When your eyelids twitch, it means something bad is going to happen. And it turned out so true. When I reached home, my mum was so pissed off about the hamsters.

But thank God, the fish shop owner allowed an exchange. So I got $50 worth of fish supplies in the end for my birthday present from HaiFamily. New filter system, premium fish food, etc. Haha. My fishes are so fortunate right now! :D

Sigh.

Seriously, I never thought my mum would get so worked up about it. She was like...
"I'm giving you a few days time to get rid of it! If you don't, I would do anything to get rid of it okay!" So fierce la that it kinda scares me. Its only two cute little hamsters for goodness sake. What's more, I used to keep hamsters the last time (more than ten some more!). However, I sold all of them away ever since I moved house and never kept them anymore.

Reasons I can think of why she doesn't allow:

• The house is too small. On top of that, my father keeps about 4-5 birds which I know also pisses my mum off.
• My results have dropped, she is worried that I am unable to cope with my workload for the next semester and she knows that the hamsters are going to take up a lot of my time.
• The smell of the hamsters. (Btw, I clean the hamsters cages regularly the last time and never once asked her to help me.)
• The extra expenses. Food, bedding, etc for the hamsters.
• She doesn't like animals.

Really very sad... I am so SORRY HaiFamily, I cannot accept the present :( Sigh. Going to the pet shop in the evening later with Lizhen to ask for an exchange. Hopefully, the people would allow and we wouldn't lose too much money. So next time people, don't ever buy any living things(including plants) for me as gift cause it would end up like this.

P.S: Just realised something today- There is one distraction I haven't managed to overcome yet.

Though it is belated

I am still grateful...


THANK YOU SO MUCH HAIFAMILY & DN1 !!! :D

Because I am happier this way.

What used to matter to me in the past seemed like nothing now.
It was all just a mere illusion. I can see it now.
Realization had hit me.
Why didn't I see it earlier?

That would save me from all the guilt I am still riddled with.
Well, at least I am happier now.

I'm a year older today

But still young ok. Only 19. Haha!

Anyways, a BIG THANK YOU to: (in random order)

• BLING BLINGs for the trip to Marina Barrage and the many many macarons!!! Love you all deep deep <3
• WANNING! for the very pretty pasta-theme birthday card!
• Mummy and Daddy for the birthday cake!
• Daddy for the new mobile phone :D
• All those who msg-ed me, especially those who msg-ed past midnight!

On a side note, HaiFamily didn't celebrate my birthday today, so that makes me very suspicious...Hmmm... would they be celebrating for me still??

Shall post photos another day!

I am angry.

Pissed with myself.

Oh God, why did things turned out so wrong??

I should have known.

Guilt, frustration, anger, confusion, all rolled into one is exactly how I am feeling right now. Sorry for being so mean and direct but I got to say what I got to say. Sigh. Sometimes, I feel like I deserve to go to hell. A girl like me don't deserve to be loved.

Like huh?

Quotes contradict so badly sometimes.

Leon: The Professional

Watched this movie while I was Shanghai and love it to the max! Now I finally understand the meaning of one of my favourite songs of all times- Shape of my heart by Sting.

He may play the jack of diamonds

He may lay the queen of spades

He may conceal a king in his hand

While the memory of it fades

So anyways,

life's good for me now (just the way I want it). No more pressure, though I still can't help but feel guilty about it. But then, such is life, what's done is done. Well, that's the way things are; you learn from your mistakes. And for me, it's all about thinking twice before I act.


What I need now is intense laughing therapy...
On top of that, I can't wait for outings with my beloved HaiFamily and Bling Bling!!!

And a little part of me wished that school would re-open soon cause I actually missed being busy. Haha! How ironic of me to think that way.

My Samsung Star

Yay-ness :D Like finally, a new mobile phone!

I wanted to use my 4GB MicroSD card for this new phone to store my music and photos. But then I just realised that the card is still with the psychology teacher! ARGH! Which means I have to wait until school reopens which is like in a month's time. What if he lost it??? *Crosses fingers

What you see is not what you get.

Sometimes.

It's like I've been awaken
After sleeping for three thousand years.

Away, distractions

My mind's made up. And I'm more determined than ever. I really wanna change and find my "ren shen mu biao". (Life's goal)

I've shut out whatever would distract me.
Including Highway 18.

And I wondered again.

Woohoo!
I made it back in one piece.
And yes, I would things right this time.

I've been thinking a lot for the pass 2 weeks and finally, YES! I've decided to put away whatever has been bugging me and probably never speak a word about it anymore. *Crosses fingers

On top of all that, I pondered about my life too.
Sadly, realised I've changed so much over the past 2 years.
And I seriously hated the changes I see in me.

Where is that girl who would always cry when she fail a test?
Where is that girl who would always study before a test or an exam?
Where is that girl who is ever so serious in her work?
Where is that girl who never dared to skip lessons?
Where is that girl who is never late for lessons?
Where is the girl who always placed studies as her top priority?
Where is the girl who once made my parents so happy in the midst of "family crisis"?
Where is the old me? I don't see it anymore.

All I see now is a girl who
Doesn't give a shit about failing or doing badly.
Skipped so many lessons that she totally lost count of it.
Have to rely on my friends on school days to wake me up.
Have to rely on my friends on sundays to wake me up for service (church).
Always LATE for school, cellgroup, outings, etc.
Always sleeping late.
Always falling asleep during lectures.
Always so forgetful.
Always dreaming/stoning.
Argh! What's happening to me?

I desperately need to change.
Difficult, yes,
But I know one thing for sure, God would always be with me.

I need more time.

MAD BUSY!

My Life, Your Song

MY LIFE IS YOUR SONG
TO YOU MY HEART BELONGS
LET ALL EARTHLY CROWNS
FADE IN THE SHADOW OF THE CROSS

MY LIFE IS YOUR SONG
I'LL SING FOR YOU ALONE
NOTHING IN THIS WORLD
CAN TAKE ME AWAY FROM YOU
OUR LOVE GOES ON AND ON

Teach me.

I have to learn how to forget.

Because it came from you.

I can't get to sleep.
I just wanna read it forever.

Dreams

Oh my life is changing everyday

in every possible way

And oh my dreams

it’s never quite as it seems

Never quite as it seems

I know I felt like this before

But now I’m feeling it even more

Because it came from you

Then I open up and see

The person falling here is me

A different way to be

Running nowhere

Torn between fantasy and reality.

But I still can dream, can't I?
Or is it time for me to wake up?

From the bottom of my heart.

Jas,

You don't have to feel guilty about it. (I read your blog.)
I am not angry with you.
I totally understand why you did that.
Its okay, really.
I know you mean well.
Yes, so many years of friendship...
So how can I bear to get angry with you over this small matter, right?
Besides, I have hurt you in the past before.
And its one of the biggest regret in my life...
I have no right to get angry with you.
If only I could turn back time, I would definitely change all that.

In fact, I want to thank you.
Thank you for your grace.
Thank you for bringing me back to church.
And thanks to you, I got to know 2 really nice people (E&G).
I suppose you know who are they right? Haha.
Thank you for everything you have done for me.
I love you, Jas.
Thank you for being my friend.

With all my heart and soul,
Verlyn Yeo

For the World.

Life is lived forwards, but understood backwards.

- Soren Kierkegaard

Why is this so.

I hate the way,
how I am taking everything for granted.

Back from Foggyland

Losing my sanity.

Because I smile and laugh to myself whenever...
I read Ju.S's blog or ogle at MXRF's pictures.
Well,
Obsession is a dangerous thing.



P.S: On my way to Foggyland in another 2 hours' time.

World Blood Donor Day 09 @ Jurong Birdpark

Special thanks to Bling Blings (those who donated blood) for the free tickets.

Though the birdpark was WARM, HUMID and CROWDED, it was still quite a fun experience.
