because i want it to. :)i think it's taken me alot more than anyone could possibly know to let go. things have been going on far longer than the month or two. on the surface seemingly so. but oh god, it's been almost a year of late nights and tears. i wouldn't have been able to take anymore.and now i know, i am so much stronger than i thought.on another note. i need to go on a shopping fast.*

my last day of work was filled with no work, good food, gossip, and cheerily telling my client that it was my last day.i will so NOT miss the evil territorial pantry lady who makes it a daily habit of yelling at me for taking her hot water. HER hot water. HERS. she owns the hot water in the pantry. woe if we dare take it. *mutters vulgarities of the hokkein sort under breath* you can tell i have

i just quit my job. tendered my two weeks notice. simply because i realize that i can't do number crunching. i can't do data drilling. and it drives me crazy when i can't understand what i'm supposed to be doing. i love my company, the ethos, the culture, and the people that come along with it, but i can't tolerate the job on hand. so it's only wise, in my opinion, to leave before any more

*adapted from christina's post o.O*1. schoolis finally over. there's no immediate joy about the end of my school life in smu, just a sort of empty spot where it used to be. my last two semesters in smu were not really significant to me and i probably would much rather forget it.school has really changed alot from the first time i began in the old campus along bukit timah. the people, the place,

the things you yearn, you rarely get.thoughts of the past - haunting.woe is me.-----i think i'm experiencing an early quarter-life crisis. seeing as how i'm only *ahem* 18 years old. o.O friends talk to me about marriage and i think. what does it mean. is marriage so important. is marriage necessary. of course, friends are men and of marriageable age. then again, what's marriageable age for men.

and because there'll always be that one person who bothers to tell me that "tian ji" is "sweet chicken" (so that i'll eat it). and that "eggplant" is not the same as "brinjal" (i don't eat brinjal). *scratches throat* i think it's his medic training. for sure. o.O

i think i've grown up. i'm more selfless now. am i?i'm trying, i really am, but everyday i think. and i think of "what if's" and "why didn't i". it's killing me slowly. and the silence is only amplified. and i cry. and i regret. and i cry.but there's no use. because i don't control anything. my fate is in your hands. the hands that i've known for so long.it's hard for me. but i guess, it's even

shopping with lack of cash is a pretty tormentous feeling, but i still do enjoy it at times. i suppose. choosing clothes and playing dress-up to male model is funnest when male model decides to reinforce my exquisite taste and buys all clothes suggested by great style-meister. hyuk./japanese doughnuts at takashimya basement 1 are better than doughnut factory's doughnuts.

life has a way of throwing you a doughnut when you ask for a cookie.i'm so tired of it. both, doughnuts and cookies.i have way too much time on my hands and thoughts just keep coming in and bouncing around, and i do them the justice of harbouring them (my thoughts, i mean), and then i get paranoid and then i get worried, and then i get sad.c'est la vie mon cherie.
