surprise surprise.
i've grown days or even weeks older haven't i?
no doubt, you too.

imma back. have faith in me people.
i do not cast something i like doing that swiftly, right?

much happenings lately.
there was facial hair waxing for me the last weekend.
ouch people.
mans. i said ouch.
bow to those who does bikini waxing.
i'll try that when my courage increases.
yes,
then there was more jamming.
and something new we tried, called the 'shui yan'.

also, i'm happy to announce that the test week is ending for me and perhaps many other students as well.

what would you do to get out of some kinda negativity?
get out for some fresh air would be ideal wouldn't it?
unless you like isolating yourself which i wouldn't recommend.
i still enjoy my running routine.
thought i had disappeared to pig out?
no way. much more tedious running these couple weeks.

and yea, remember the many creams i put on my face daily?
now there's more for my legs.
i'm only human to have scars, but my parents and boyfriend has to nag at taking care of my legs. it's good type of nagging. i do appreciate.
i'm treasuring every single moment with them even though i can't think of this line every time you see them, but every now and then, it's good.

this afternoon i was on my way to school when two elderly women boarded the SBS bus i was on.
one look and you'll be sure to say they're sisters.
it's occured to be how my sister and i would be like.
that is if we could even live up to their age (looks-assuming to be seventy odd)
it seems all so frightening how time could just fly past that quickly.
perhaps we should just grow old gracefully.
just stay glad we're here to live; feel blessed.

have you looked back at how you used to live life in secondary?
we nimbled in class.
we cheated in class tests.
we got punished for too many ear holes.
we got dismissed for colored hair.
etc.
etc.
i wondered what would lie ahead of me.

now i turn back to just imagine all those happenings.
how laughters just giggle itself in the head.
grown, are we?
older, are we?

i'm glad i'm living a life not trapped by
uniforms.
books.
teachers.
principles.
rules.

i set my own limits.
i set my own regulations.
i do not go across my very own boundaries by
over coloring rainbow hair,
twenty million piercings,
hundreds tattoos, etc.
things that would leave a deep impression; negative that is.
i put myself in the shoes of my parents, and...
i wouldn't fancy my daughter's sense of style associating with the bad side.

less than a week ago, my hair has been blackened.
less than a month ago, a couple ear holes have shut itself.

bright hair & many ear holes aren't that fanciful as it was before.

however, once in a very blue moon...
i would like a change..
i'm looking around for
something that i can relate to as 'ME'
i'm still searching for that something.
we'll see...
well, i simply can't wait to find something near to perfect.

wanna be the prettiest?
got confidence?
no confidence; no beauty.

love yourself.
