  • I have a bitch in the house.

    I don't hate my sister, not anymore despite her failed attempt to stab that knife through my heart years ago. What utterly disgust me to the extent of despising her, and in a way sympathise her for being sucha pathetic person is, her petty, vengeful attitude and self-centered personality. In particular the former. God knows how many gazillion years had gone by and still she harps on the same boring old tale of me being a selfish self-centered bitch! Talk about ironic. I would gladly hand her a mirror so she could see that ugly distorted person who is making the accusation! Yes, I HAD been a bitch, I had been selfish to my family, I KNOW. There is no excuse for that sort of behavior, even if I was young, ignorant and confused back then. NO EXCUSE. I apologised and I try my best to make up for it now. But look at her now... she's freaking 21!! ADULT!! And still she doesn't get the big picture. It's like a prolonged period that doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon.. ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARISH!! The last time I was home, she accused me of stealing her laptop cable when I had mine packed into my bag ALL THE WAY from Australia. Today, after I bought her HER dinner she told me, wait, lemme correct that cause SHE WASN'T EVEN TALKING TO ME. She was speaking very loudly INTO THE AIR saying, "THAT CUP IS MINE". I mean what the fuck?? It was just a cup, BITCH. Gimme a break! And you think she would say "thank you" after writing me the details of her dinner order. She's MENTAL, DISILLUSIONED and very, VERY disturbed. I feel embarassed letting people know we're related. Urrrggggh....*gauge*  Talking about her makes me sick!!!

  • Forgive me God.

    Before I begin yet another ranting, I want to seek your forgiveness God, for I had sinned heavily today. I'd heard the alarm, it is going off like crazy and I'm well aware that I've to fix the problem. And I will.

    Earlier today, I had a catch-up chat convo on MSN with Alex, a friend I got to know when I was learning martial arts in Singapore. We had a few minutes of all the usual "how's life for ya?" and other what's not before the topic on Steven had my mind permeated with sadness and grieves. And a hint of remorse, for being such a lousy friend.

    Alex, Steven and I were from the same martial arts school. We started off at about the same time and hence attained our black belts one after one another. Although our friendship were not as close as it could had gotten cause I left at one point, but nonetheless everyone was like part of this big family! It was esepcially so after we started to help 大师兄(it means "big elder brother" literally, and is a way of addressing the most experienced senior in the same wushu school) during normal lesson time at the local community centre. The seniors, we trained 3 times a week including the day at the community centre. We all specialised in a different weapon but everyone knows the basics to the baton and the punching style. I was an expert at sword and Steven and Alex at sparring and baton respectively. Those were the days when I was still a tomboy. No one back then would be able to associate that tomboy they knew, with the Jomel now.

    I like both boys and take their friendships seriously even though we subsequently lost contact through gradual decreasing interaction after I moved away. Then today, out of a random mood, I clicked on Alex's name as his window popped up from the corner of my screen when he logged in. We were happily catching up when the topic stopped on Steven. My stomach started knotting up when Alex begun his sentence with "Do you know Steven's situation now...", it was like the beginning to a tragic story that involves an accident. I later found out that Steven had a very bad fall during his national service where he hurt his head and was left with some serious brain damage. According to Alex who was there for most part of this journey, Steven had to undergo several surgeries to be kept alive. Doctor estimated his IQ to be those of a primary school kid even after he made it past the death gate.

    .... what sort of friend am I? We were as close as we could get before and yet I only came to know about this almost 3 years after it happened?? When Alex was done talking, my heart was barely moving as well. I was suffocated with so much grives... I mean.... this was the same guy i was teaching a flying push kick to, the same guy who captured all the girl's heart when he first joined the class, the same guy I danced with just before I left Singapore for Australia in Zouk....the same guy who had his future all planned out for him... and yet now, daily activities are more than manageable??

    There is nothing I could do for Steven being so far away. I had arranged to visit him when I'm scheduled home in Jan, but Alex thinks Steven wouldnt be able recognise me anymore since he could hardly retain memories of even a year....

    On a second note, the realisation that that could be me today if Randy hadn't protected me in our accident years ago, reminded me that I should feel blessed. I am so lucky... I really am... who am I to self-pity when worse things could had happned? Who am I to take my life for granted when there is a cure waiting right now as we speak? Who am I to take all these luck for granted?? Afterall, I'm still alive...and is mentally and physically fit. I have to stop complaining, I shall start doing, I shall take my doctor's advice seriously, I wanna make myself healthy again, for both Steven and myself.

  • したい事.トップ・ファイ

    ここで質問が一つあります。もし残りの人生の時間が一年間だけだったら、あなたは何をしたいですか?行きたい所がありますか?私のトップ・ファイブは次の五つです。

     

     

    1. スカイダイビングをしたい

    小さかった頃の話なのであまり覚えてないのですが、四歳になる前にお母さんは私に「スリルを求める人間になれ」と教えてくれました。三歳の時、両親と一緒にショッピングセンターで買い物をしていた時、私は両親が見ていない間にだまって服売り場で隠れていました。小さい頃はこの様に親をからかってスリルを楽しんでいました。よく両親に怒られました。

     

    今は昔みたいに両親をからかわないですが、インドネシアの火山でハイキングにいくとか、バンジージャンプとかに挑戦したいです。スカイダイビングなどでスリル感を満喫したいです。

     

    1. ギリシャを観光したい

    小さい時からギリシャの神話と伝説に興味があります。「ヘラクレス」というディズ二ーのアニメがあり、ゼウスの息子が化け物を倒す英雄の物語です。この映画を見てからギリシャ神話に興味を持ち始めました。しかし、大きくなっていくうちには神話だけではなく、ギリシャの文化や歴史、そして人々にも興味を持つようになりました。神話と伝説の誕生の地、ギリシャを一度は探検したいです。

     

    1. オフ・ラインでロサンゼルスの友達と会ってみたい

     

    わたしと四年ぐらい前にシャンガ(Xanga)というブログのサイトである人と知り合いました。ある日シャンガで他人のブログを読んでいた時、ある人が書いたレスに興味を持ち、その人にコンタクトをしてみました。翌日、ブログ執筆者からメールをもらい、その人の名前はクリスチャンでUCLAの大学生だと分かりました。最初はシャンガだけでメールをやり取りしていましたが、だんだんとMSNでも話すことが多くなりました。毎日MSNXangaなどで連絡し、たくさんお話をしました。お互い一度も会った事がないのにもかかわらず、どんどんよい友人になりました。実際に会うことはないのかもしれませんが、これからもよい友人であることを信じています。でも内心ではチャンスがあれば一度会いたいです。

     

    1. 台湾のドラマに演出してみたい

    なぜ台湾のドラマに演出したいのかは自分でも分かりませんが、ラブコメディーに演出してみたいです。最近、シンガポールの旧友が台湾のドラマの主役をやっていた事に気づきました。一度はドラマなどの主役をやってみたいです。一度しかない人生、有名人に一度は誰でもなってみたいのではないでしょうか。

     

    1. ダンス学校に入学したい

    最後は、ダンス学校へまた通ってみたいです。ダンスをすることが私の昔からの夢です。ダンスは四歳から始めて、バレエの学校に入学しました。しかし、小さい頃にお母さんは私に「窓から練習中の恵子ちゃん見たけど、左右のバランスがとれていなかったし、ケガしたら危ないよ」と言い、私はバレエ学校へ通うことをやめました。それからは、学園際でダンスをしたりして続けましたが、正式なレッスンは受けませんでした。しかし十六歳の時、シンガポールでダンスコンテストに参加し、アメリカから来た審査員になんと奨学金をもらいました。その奨学金でサンフランシスコのダンス学校に行きました。

     

    サンフランシスコの学校では、国際学生がほんのわずかしかいませんでした。、私は外見アジア人なので、人ごみの中でも一段と目立ちました。それにダンスの振り付けを一回で覚えたり出来たので、すぐにダンス学校で話題になりました。ncd learn a brand式な実習を受けていなかった人生で最高の時間に思えました。

     

    しかし、サンフランシスコで事故を起こしたので、一年間ぐらい歩けませんでした。その事故で私の一番大切な人も失ってしまいました。その事故は今でも私の記憶の中に生々しく残っています。事故後、私は落ち込んであきらめようかとも思いました。やがてダンスをもう一度やってみようと思い始めましたが、辛いリハビリをしなければなりませんでした。特に自分のプライドと自信を取り戻すのが大変でした。一度なくしかけたプライドと自分の心に正面から向かい合うのは簡単ではありません。事故があってから六年経ち、あれから楽しい事もたくさんありましたが、心の奥ではまだ事故の事を引きずっているのかもしれません。

     

    最近は時間がどんどん無くなていることに気づき、またダンスを本格的にやる気が出てきました。将来は毎日を大切にし、時間を無駄にしないように人生を過ごしたいです。これからも頑張るつもりです。

     

     

    「今日という日は、残りの人生の最初の日」という名言がありますが、あなたは残りの人生で何をやりたいですか。時にはこの様な質問を自分にするのもいいかもしれませんね。

    I don't care what other people say about how he looks, he is adorable as hell in my eyes! (^^) I rather have someone with a humourous side than someone who could only look as pretty as age would allow. Goooosh.... he reminds me of a cuddly teddy bear! hehee! (^^0)>

    C'yall in 2 weeks!

  • H君, the person I've a crash on.




    Before I actually do go off for more studying...I think there's a need to get this off my chest. I want to.. I need to empty my head of all these unnecessary thoughts. 

    I had wanted to write this in another language so that should there ever be a day  when he happened to chance upon this entry, he wouldn't understand it anyway. But after more thinking I realised that would only be a vain attempt, cause he could read and write well in all the languages that I could too! Or maybe even better.. (-_-0) So I guess I'll just have to deal with it should that day ever arrived....

    See.. a while ago, I met this person through an event organised by the Mandarin club. First impression.. He's a halfie AND a dickhead. But as we get to interact more through events and parties organised by common friends, that impression changed. That dickhead had evolved into this clown! Lol.. his humour is a gem! Third week into Uni and I realised I needed help with Japanese. I approached him, well aware of the fact that the Japanese friends I'd already known for a while could not provide me with the help I needed. Cause we would probably just chat our Time away. Needless to say I was really grateful when he said yes without hesitation, and was truly touched cause I knew being a post-grad and the President of APSS, he had an extremely busy schedule.

    The first session which I imagined would be extremely awkward turned out extremely fun! I couldn't finish the assignment that I needed him to help me proof read so instead we read this passage in advance for my class. We managed to finish the passage but it took us like what? 3 hours ? (x_X) But what surprised me was that the Dickhead I first thought he was, turned out to be a surprisingly patient man! It wasn't too long afte the first few session that I realised Monday was the only day I look forward to in the entire week. And seeing him each time makes me so happy that nothing else seems to matter, not even spotting the "A guy" could rob me of my smile. :)

    On another occassin when I was thoroughly impressed, he texted me and told me that Kinokuniya had a book fair in BPB, that I could perhaps get some materials there. At that time I was only someone he was helping with her Japanese class, someone he sees once a week. It's not within his "job scope" to have to inform me of things like these but still he took that extra step. I was affirmed of the kind of person he is and was determined to make him a friend.

    Gradually our friendship became a little more for me. I guess they are not wrong to say that feelings grow over Time. Everything would be good or at least I would be able to do more if he hasn't already has a girlfriend who was away for the Year in Asia. While I'm disappointed that I stand no chance... I was impressed yet again. The girl was only halfway through when we met and is probably back now, but he, did not waver all these while. There're many occassions where things could develop further but he would in one way or another make sure there were no ambiguities. As hurtful as it could sound, it is admirable on every level. I wouldn't be surprised to know I'm not the only one who had developed feelings for him, he's just that nice and kind, and funny, and cute... (^^~) Well.. Lucky his gf. (^^)

    Oh...and the part where the S guy came in, the one my close friends and I thought I was gaga over, looking at the series of event now, I wonder if it was my futile attempt to get over H君. Afterall when I ran into S, it was also when I concurrently found out that H君's gf was returning. (x_X)

    If I don't make it back the next semester, at least I'd conveyed my feelings here on Xanga.
    God bless.
