Bobby's house workshop

Haven't been blogging this week
reason being,
school is INSANE
projects.
i hate you
AM/FEM and Intro L&R
so many things to do!
and deadline is approaching!

anyway, it rained today
i had to bring the large umbrella out
i was late for class thanks to the rain and the bus.
it's FEM, i got A for my report, which was an absolute surprise
because i thought my report i wrote a lot of crap
surprisingly, it worked?!
then had intro L&R lecture
i was dozing off,
the atmosphere was way too good for sleeping

finally, went for Bobby Mileage's House workshop
i thought it was awesome, even though i struggled most of the time
i learnt new stuff and had fun!
there's a lot to house and i just wanna find out more
Although, the warm up was tiring and well house is a tiring dance
requires a lot of endurance
but, i think it's fun, the music is awesome and of course the dance
second time at an official house class i think i did pretty alright!
will keep working hard!
thanks Bobby!

what i remembered:
Loose legs, Train, Farmer, Dolphin dive, i don't know the names of the remaining.
shall find out soon

i can't find my way home anymore

Where is home? Where is the place when i feel loved as a kid? What happen to all the love in this small family? I thought everything was getting better day by day. I thought we were getting by just fine. I thought by avoiding this little family would be pieced together again. Maybe all of us were just pretending, maybe everything wasn't fine and it was all a lie.

Just a little quarrel and a few shouts was all it takes to throw reality in my face. It hurts. That's all i can say, i thought it wouldn't matter to me. I thought it wouldn't hurt inside anymore, i thought i was numb to the pain. After what happened, i realise i do care because no matter what happens, we're still a family. Even though it's always about the same thing, cause the pain feels exactly the same, i'm still not numb to it. I really hate it.

Tears roll down my face everyday, every night in my own little room. I've never been like this before. All i feel is pain and everyday i just feel like ripping myself apart to stop it. I can feel my heart breaking,literally, but i don't know how to stop it from hurting. Part of me knows why things are like that, part of me is just trying to not think about it. I'm human too, not a robot. I can't believe in my own room i'm stopping myself from crying and I tell myself "i'm strong" but the fact is, i'm not. I pray every night just to make myself feel that everything is alright, i pray to God everyday saying "i hope everything is okay" when i don't even know if he hears me. When would this stop, really.

Listening to songs from my childhood, i remember the songs i use to lisen s a lullaby. I remember the memories in my previous house, all the little happy funny moments. I don't remember a sad memory. But now, it's like there isn't a single happy memory in this house of mine. Not a day would everyone be a home, most of the time it's only me. If not, my bro and my mum. This family is incomplete most of the time, well that's okay, but what's worst it that i feel it's falling apart. I can hardly find my way home. Not literally home, i know where my house is of course. But, the feel of belonging to one. Home is suppose to be filled with warmth, happiness and probably where you feel safest. But, home now to me, is somewhere lonely, somewhere empty, somewhere i'm afraid of showing my emotions. This is what home is to me now. and my family i can't even find words to describe what it is now.

Among all these pain, why can't i find a little spark that makes everything better?
Too cool

" Love is like the wind, you can't see it but you can feel it"
-Nicholas Sparks, A Walk to Remember

A cold day to begin with
it was cold all the way till the evening because i was in Starbucks the whole day
It rained, and many places in Singapore flooded
at this rate, due to global warming
Singapore will be gone in no time
Save the Earth people.

Projects, projects..
they're simply driving me mad
to think of ideas, elaboration and proper sentences are killing my brain cells
i wish reports could be in point form
i wish reports do not need proper sentencing
i wish there were no such thing GPA
There are a lot of things in life i wish did not exist,
but some things are just not within our control.

I wonder who came up with the phrases
"Fate is in your own hands"
and "You have to fight for your happiness"
i think it's crap. Really.
Nothing in relation to this is actually within our control

anyway updates from last week and the past few days:
Piriyah's/Dipna's party
Hip hop training by An An
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
illusions

Everyone dreams when they sleep
Sometimes you dream, sometimes you don't
I wonder how you know if you're gonna dream
Sometimes you don't remember them, sometimes you do
When you don't, it becomes deja vu.
When you do, it misleads your heart and mind.

I used to love dreaming
Now i don't
because..
Dreams are scaring me nowadays

I dream of people i don't know
or i dream of weird things.
I used to feel in a certain way for you
i let go, moved on.
One dream, just one..
can turn my life around and make me feel it again
it's misleading cause it'll never happen
and i know deep down inside me that it won't happen
yet i can't help but imagine if it was real.
I woke up feeling it was real,
i could feel you, your breath and your presence.
Only to wake up and realise it was a lie,
it was just a dream.
Please go away soon
drift away feelings, drift.
i don't want illusions, i want reality.

Tuesday, June 8, 2010 @ 11:40 PM


really great meeting you girls(:
love you girls from the bottom of my heart
hopefully we won't forget each other
and we'll meet up more often!
we need to catch up ya know

anyway this week is gonna be crazy and it is
too many birthdays
i wanna go Pixar,
maybe i can go tomorrow.
i mean i finally get a free day.
and i definitely don't feel like using it to dance or run.

Today all i did was went for track training
Mr Tang took over,
never been under him before
but he's a really nice, funny guy
all we did was warm-up, stretching and drills
and i feel as if i can't walk tomorrow
drills was already a killer for us
i never knew lunges could be so tiring
and i didn't know how important it is.
actually i didn't know how important any of the drill
like how it actually plays a part in running
now i do, after today's training that is.
but even though i felt like dying
i kinda liked it!
somehow it was a pretty fun session(:

i think what people say
really gives certain motivation,
after what Mr Tang said about running mechanics
and when he corrects a drills
when i sort of understand;
i somehow got motivated and he ask if i felt 'shiok'
after doing a drills sort of right
apparently it did.
i guess the satisfaction was unexpected
and i guess i can sum up what sports can give me:
relaxation, satisfaction, enjoyment and..
i think there's more, can't think a the moment

not that dance cannot give me those.
i guess just different kind.
i never felt that 'woah' feeling when i dance
like the overwhelming kind
it's just different.
wonder why.

happy birthday
7th june: Dipna
8th june: Mariam and Dad

i just realise i didn't call to wish my dad
i just realise i didn't get him a present either
what kind of unfilial daughter am i.
what am i afraid of? awkwardness?

it's been so long since i felt bonded to my family
the only times i felt that i even have a family, are the family dinners
and those don't even last for 2 hours.
other have family, so do i, why does it feel so different?
home.
it's empty, dark and never lively
stories i hear from others about what happened at home,
i don't even have a story to tell.
sometimes i pray to God and ask
why? why is everything like that?
i remember writing an essay in secondary school, about love.
there are different kinds of love.
family love, love between friends, relationship sort of love.
but what i probably yearn he most, is the first.
i realise i always try to make myself better in a situation, just make myself feel a little better
just notice that i always say i have a lot of freedom.
but i wish my parents would have the time to even control me.
i have a lot of freedom because they simply do not have time to control me.
i know whatever i'm saying is going way off the point.

i keep pushing people away,
because i'm living in a box.
where i feel most comfortable,
where all my problems are within this box
and no one is allowed to open it except me.
i'm sorry to all those who care
and i don't know how to explain my problems
because i'm not good with words.
everything just comes out wrong when i say something
there's a lot of times i wish i would just keep quiet.

i just wish everything would be how i was when i was a kid.
simple and everything i needed was there
everything changed ever since i entered secondary 1.
i wonder is it because i lived in a hostel and when i came back
everything just wasn't the same
it was just 4 years, just 4.
and after this 4 years i felt like a different person.
i thought it was better, cause i felt like i've changed from bad to good.
but everything else in my life simply fell apart.
why. why is everything like that.
so many things but i can't even put them in simple words.
memories at its best
Saturday, June 5, 2010 @ 1:47 AM
Looking at the photos i have
i wish i could turn back time and experience everything all over
i know there are moments and memories
but yet it wasn't all captured on film.
i know memories don't live on photos
it lives in the heart.

Retain the good memories, but don't throw away the bad ones either
the bad memories; is very much hated
however no matter how much you hate it
It is still important, it is part of who you are
bad memories are still memories, they let you reminisce the past
without them, even the good memories doesn't exist.

so, hope for a better tomorrow.
let the days be happy, and memories you gain would be good.
saw something from the fighting spiders
can't remember the exact words, i know its about hope.
"hope replenishes your soul, so don't lose hope"

I envy those families who give each other unlimited amount of support
i envy the love between them, that fills the air.
even through the television i can feel them.
I wonder when would that day come for me.
i wonder when will someone give me that unlimited support and love.
Being in the same house, and being related to one another.
yet there is always a barrier that separates all of us.
Is it because of the life we lead, is it because of the situation we're in
i don't ask for much, i just ask for a little quality time.
but nevertheless, i won't lose hope
i'll just keep moving all on my own
till the day i find that something i've been looking for
bad mamma jammer
