Emo posting on an emo day


(written this @ Vivo city waterfront deck
before meeting my Sec exco prefects for dinner...
a pleasant writing time though...)


It's nearing the end
but I can't see the end, yet.
Not sure if I can get there, gracefully.
Still finding my way perhaps.

Been through many ups & downs
I've come so far to where I am now
I should never give up
For i know I will finish this race.

I want to taste the sweetness of success
But the journey to the end are just so hard
to carry on at times

I want to scream and shout
To burst into tears & let my emotions flow.
I want to run to you
And be comforted by your warm embrace.

Your little gestures of console
I'm so deeply grateful for
The sheltering moments from friends
Lending me support when I'm withering
and turning into a raisin, juiced.

Wonderful Counsellor, Beautiful Saviour
Why can't I just get it?
Do I have to go through all these agony?

I feel like walking away
Throw my hands up in the air and say,
"It's enough."

You know me and you search me
And you give me what is best for me.
It's so difficult to submit fully to your will.
Oh God, strengthen me and help me to trust.

Renew me
Recharge me
Make me whole and spur me on.

Perhaps I should bravely take up the cross.
No matter how hard people is gonna strike me down.
It's just means to make me stronger and
To improve on my "ways" (thesis).

I'm on my way
And I'll strive on.
Positively and Joyfully.

the "buay-tahans"....

Cannot stand pple not keeping to the left on escalators
Always stare at their backs damn hard.
Almost wish i can stare until they vanish into thin air.
Same applies to 2 person walking down a lane
Forming a fortress and not allowing anyone to breach it.

Cannot stand pple not moving to the rear on the bus
Once, an uncle exclaimed in hokkien,
"Are there ghosts at the back?!"
hah, crude and rude but he makes sense

Cannot stand pple rushing into the train to grab a seat
only to alight a couple of stops later

Cannot stand screaming kids and act-blur parents
Cannot stand loud conversations on bus
Cannot stand teens thinking that they're bigger than the whole world
Cannot stand smokers standing 1metre away from bus-stop
and the smoke get blown into my face by the wind
Cannot stand drivers who don't signal
their license should be revoked.

dunno why i'm so full of angst inside me
when i'm in the public nowadays...
is it just me? or is really pple's attitude getting worse?
More self-centered. hai.
Public graciousness?

fb: "What's on your mind?"

cluttered mind | tired body
fluttering thoughts | disturbed soul
controlled mind | ordered life
stifling world | suppressed self

peaceful mind | christ's body
inquisitive mind | me at work
wandering mind | distracted self
mindless mind | finding myself

judgmental mind | justified self
prayerful mind | cleansing ritual
submissive mind | learning to trust
creative mind | desperately needing it

it's March...marching twds the ending point...which i don't know how it's gg to be like...

going back to school almost everyday and staying back late
can be quite tiring....but it's my last chance to reminisce
my architecture life in school.
Can't imagine how i did it last time in yr 1 and yr 2.
Everyone is agonizing over their design
day in day out...
And many a times i just choose to work and agonize
somewhere else...away from the stress-filled studio.
I like to work "outdoors" where I can hear the traffic goes by,
have eye contact with trees, the sky, and under natural light.
It's Sat and i'm back in school.
Going to get my dinner at Subway soon.
Have to get the 6grams of fat sandwiches...
as part of my treatment process for having high cholesterol
when I weigh 56kg standing at 168cm. bah.

Havnt been taking pictures...coz I'm still saving up
to get a set of rechargeable battery for my finepix s8100fd..><

Ay, this "Blur Building" by Diller and Scofido (Architects)
is pretty cool. =)
