i may not know a lot about art but i would love to. i wish i wasn't always so preoccupied with everything else all the time and just LIVE art. but sadly, that isn't the case. so hey, one day, it just so happen to be chinese new year and like always, there are lion dance performances in the school hall. i was late for it (CRAP) and so i had to stand amongst the crowd. and just so happen there was this man standing in front of me. and his shirt had so many words on it, it made me dizzy at first. a lot of crappy things happened that day, which led to me feeling crappy now too but it doesn't stop me from reading and reading again one of the most awesome shit ever. i have no idea why i find it so awesome but i'm just so drawn to the idea of art put into words. and you feel it, ever sentence of it. and i'd like to share it with all of you and as part of the passage says, i hope to inspire you and our knowledge today will be our power tomorrow.

what defines me
what defines me is not what defines you. what drives you is not what drives me. i love what you do not love. i am me and you are you. my life is a canvas and my story is it's painting. i am inspired and i create so that i may inspire others. my everyday decisions make me who i am. this is why i am different from you. different. not superior. your path is yours. that is the beauty in which we coexist. the path we walk are unalike. but they cross and collide and twist and turn in beautiful unpredictable patterns. our perception of the high and lows of our journey change. my knowledge today will become my power tomorrow. carved in the massive stone of life. my life is my art. my art is my life. every detail i add along the way helps others as they paint their stories. just as their stories gave birth to mine. and i continue to create. i strive to create. i will never stop trying. the mistakes and failures i make along the way make up the masterpiece that i end up with. the cracks in the foundation are the rivers that feed my gardens. one day you will realize this too. and when my vision is blurred, you will remind me how to see. you must not stop writing your story. whatever your vehicle of communication it may be. for the sake of life. for the sake of the future. for the sake of art.

i cannot begin to tell you how hard it was for me to copy this whole passage from a stranger's shirt to my phone but with determination, i did it. i think it's beautiful and i'm glad i did. i will look back at this post someday and feel as inspired and as awed as the first time i had read it. for some reason, i have morgan freeman's voice saying these words too me. lol, i watched too much invictus and wanted :P

i am sitting in the reception area now. it is 12.32am - midnight. i'm supposed to be at home and sleeping but instead, i am sitting here waiting for my driver cum colleague to finish work at 7am and then follow him home. it doesn't bother me much because now i have music blasting in my ears and that's all i need to keep me motivated... i think? :S it doesn't matter because my other colleague, dear Azie, is quitting today and that makes me sad :( she was one of the people who were really nice to me when i started working here so yeah, imma miss her alot. shout out to you, ma sista!

i named this post - closure - because i feel that that's sort of where i am in life at the moment. i'm happy to say that i've sort of gotten over you-know-who and trust me, it's taken me, if i'm not mistaken, 5 months and 28days to do it. oh and btw, it would have been our 1 year anniversary in 23 days time. lol. what is up with me and these calculations and statistics? i need to get a life, pronto!

i guess i won't fail to repeat how difficult it was for me. how i was so adapted to having someone i love to go home to everyday and one day when that person disappear, i sort of disappeared myself. i was wasting my life on somebody who, i suppose, don't even care if i exist or not anymore. who, maybe, in the first place didn't really care for me either. and now the even be talking about it again, is pulling back into the depth of darkness.

i refuse to let myself go there for anyone again. i won't ever ever go to that depth for anyone ever again. i need to be strong. i need to need nobody but me so that i would be able to survive on my own. i need to be independent like i used to be. i need to be able to cope with heartbreaks at the snap of a finger. i need me to be nobody but me.

despite so, i've sort of again, found somebody i can lean on. which, is sort of nice.

:)

shoutout to my dearly beloved laoban. i'll make sure i remind you to visit this page and see your name here :)

i'm sick and tired of being the first person to say i love you. so from now on, you can either tell me you love me or tell me to fuck off. to the first, in which i would reply i love you too if i really did or to the second, i would be more than happy to fuck off from your life as you want me to.

wanting and needing. i need to be able to differenciate what they mean. i don't NEED somebody to live. i don't NEED somebody to keep my heart beating and keep myself from breathing. i only wanted. and i wanted that someone to be a part of my life forever - in which he couldn't fulfill. it's sad actually. i saw our whole future together and i was really going to do whatever it took to be together. but i guess, you couldn't sacrifice that much of yourself for me and for that, i guess i will sort of somehow always remember you. i will always remember you as the man who i almost threw my whole life out for. but NO MORE! no more, will i EVER shed a tear for you. i need me to need nobody but me.

so there you have it, this is my closure. this is what i need to wake up in the morning tomorrow and tell myself that i will be able to breathe smooth and walk out the door with my head held high. this is what i need to be able to continue living my life to the fullest, to the way i want it to be lived. i needed this closure and with this behind me, i will make myself happier everyday.


and to my dearly beloved laoban - i miss you :( as of right now, i'm expecting you to be playing mahjong. lol. oh and in case i forget to tell you, i got disconnected from the phonecall with you because my telephone no money! i'm poor. shit :(

okay, lol, i seriously think i need sleep. it's either sleep or caffaine. so i guess now (12.58am) , it's caffaine.

till 7.00am and bedtime at last,
goodnight all :)
