I am crapping here! HAHA. Anyways, I was supposed to watch despicable me with squadmates, but they damn lame, go to vivo just to watch a film and there's no 3D. Siao one. No offense squadmates!
But I don't regret pang seh-ing them to go watch inception with girl guides ppl. Because inception is just out of this world. I think I left my brain behind in the show...

HAHA! Squadmates, if we are going for AN, let's do "NO OTHER" ok?
All in all: Au Revoir, Je Taime. Goodbye, I love you. P.O.P'10
IT ENDED WITH A (lot of) BANG(s)
*Balloon bursting because susie is chasing us out*

Goodbye

My heart that loved you
my eyes that looked at you
ARE STILL HERE.

Oh baby say goodbye, for a short while goodbye.
The talk about goodbye, I’ll put it aside for a short while.
When I open that door and take one step
your breath that’s conveyed to the tip of my nose

In the cold wind the feeling of your warm hand stays for a while
all your traces become tears and stay on my cheeks
After i go on for a trip for a short while
and wipe off my heart wrenching wound
after time passed by when I meet you
I will tell you that I missed you

Oh baby say goodbye, for a short while goodbye.
The talk about goodbye, I’ll put it aside for a short while.
When I open that door and take one step
your breath that’s conveyed to the tip of my nose

today when the sun sets and the moon rises again, it’s still the same
oh why is my heart changing this fast
your appearance that resembled the blue sky rains
when my body gets wet from this rain i’ll hide my running tears

Oh baby say goodbye, for a short while goodbye.
The talk about goodbye, I’ll put it aside for a short while.
When I open that door and take one step
your breath that’s conveyed to the tip of my nose

In the past when I did whatever I wanted and was foolish
you who embraces all of that are really precious

Oh baby say goodbye, for a short while goodbye.
The talk about goodbye, I’ll put it aside for a short while.
When I open that door and take one step
your breath that’s conveyed to the tip of my nose

Oh baby say goodbye, for a short while goodbye.
The talk about goodbye, I’ll put it aside for a short while.
I’ll go back to the place
When I once was

When I open that door and take one step
so that I can stand in front of you who i missed

My heart that loved you
my eyes that looked at you
I’ll WAIT…


I love this song! But, I don't think this is true in real life. Haha. Once you lose someone precious, you'll never get them back... There's no way to "go on for a trip for a short while and wipe off my heart wrenching wound. After time passed by when I meet you, I will tell you that I missed you."

Perhaps you are not reading this, or you don't know how I feel... But, if you can say all that to a third party, I'll gladly reveal more. You betrayed my trust for you, you know how I felt when another left for good, you know how much I hate it. And yet, why are you doing the same? Have I not done enough?
I hate you, and I'll never forgive you. I had enough. You defile my eyes, befoul the air, and pollute the environment.
Just get out of my life, I don't ever want to see you, ever. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE PISSED AT ME. FUCK OFF.

Ok. I officially announce that my blog is dead. So, I'm burying it today. Goodbye blog, I'll return when science has advanced enough to revive the dead :D

Finally, I can enjoy the freedom of being alone once more. It all started from HER. I regret the day I allowed her to meddle with my life. Now, I have finally understood what's all that crap about, but that doesn't mean I accept your help happily and will forgive you. I never thought of reconciling with HER ever since that day, ever since then, I have given up on her. You were troubled whether THIS METHOD will work or not, but no, it back-fired. After you explained everything, yes, I understand. There's still a chance for it to work. But, I don't wish to befriend a person that discards others that easily anymore. We'll still remain as friends, but, nothing will remain the same. However, for HER and me to still keep a friendship? IMPOSSIBLE. Thank you for making me open my eyes and ponder about the true meaning of friendship. I feel that I'm wiser now.

YAY! I PASSED BNCO!

And on top of all that school crap,

Ladies and Gentlemen.

Oh, and our SNSJ sec ones came in on Friday, 22 Jan 2010. We're FINALLY the oldest (non-ma'ams) seniors! YAY! But, eh, NO OFFENSE, but I don't exactly know them. So, obviously, I can't pretend to love them UNTIL one day I know them. And, they left a DEEP IMPRESSION on me, and trust me, it's not a good one... yeah... But lucky, SNSJ is getting more and more FUN! Even the "punishments" are fun. OK. Maybe I'm masochistic... But don't you think hopping around and running around with your squadmates FUN? However, Screw you P.O.C. WHYYYYYY MUST NURSING CADETS WERE FREAKING SKIRTS/ dresses?! DAMN YOU, whoever you are. I OFFICIALLY declare that for the first time in my life, I am traumatised by SJ. Thank you every much for traumatising me. If I die, it's your fault, SJ, and I doubt CPR can help anymore.
