    Foolish Heart

    I've been listing up all that I want in life and the list is ever expanding that it has come to the point of ridicule. Dah jadi macam cerita Mat Jenin.

    I've come to realise that I cannot achieve all that I wish for.. not in the near future to say the least. And honestly, I still don't see a clear path to get to all that at this young age.. Hehe. The problem with me is that I value human relationships and the materialistic world both at the same time that I can't have one without the other. To achieve a balance in running towards a certain goal, keeping your feet on the ground and bringing everyone along within the race can rather be a challenging task to be done in this fast-paced modern world, so I tend to get distracted with one while working on the other.

    Apart from all that, it's nice to dream of things that are hardly possible because being born with such vivid imaginations it feels like I'm living it. I guess that's what makes some people happy despite the hardships they encounter in life. The mind is such a powerful tool that it can take you places without lifting a limb. Sometimes, wherever the heart desires, the mind travels endlessly. To have the courage to dream of things outside of our reach is a freedom no thief can steal.

    You can list down all sorts of things you wish for in life, but the heart can be such a foolish piece of meat. Everything that you want isn't always what you can have and everything that you have isn't necessarily what you need.

    I Hear It So Well

    It's Friday! I don't know what kind of witchery Fridays have on me, but it always brings good vibes when I wake up to it. Yesterday the weather was a little gloomy and cold, but it shined like a Sunday this morning.

    I've about two weeks before the break is over, but by today I've already felt that it's-time-to-go-back feeling. Weird, don't I love all these things that I've always wanted? I do, but life's been empty and less thrilling. I've been doing chores and routines around the house and my mind is hungry for new things to learn. Well, grandma has been lecturing me on quite a number of things about being a homemaker and home life, but being a modern child who sighs at every call for duty around the house; I always have this thirst for something more exciting.

    I'm expecting to see some high school friends at a friend's sister's wedding that my mother and I will be attending tomorrow. Weddings are so fun to go to! I used to dread it as a child, merely because I have to dress up and follow my mother along in the sea of noisy women but nowadays I love the festivity of it, especially the ones that are held close to tradition. I'm usually a quiet person around strangers, so I don't really care about all the loud chattering from the seniors anymore because sometimes these people can crack me up with their funny slangs and choice of words. I often hear new words that are pretty strange to me. Haha. I guess I'm this new generation who is supposed to keep the tradition and language alive. I'm actually beginning to appreciate my mother tongue more than I ever did, and that's all because it's easier to understand and express myself. I love this homey feeling.. and I'm going to treasure it no matter where I am in this world.

    Since I got the whole day to myself yesterday, I digged out my high school yearbook and I was mesmerized for a moment while I was flipping through everyone's photos. I wasn't popular, I wasn't the loudest kid in school, but I was there and I almost knew everyone even though I've only been keeping in touch with some recently. Every face that I see in there brings the memories alive from the back of my head. I always remember whatever I've been through, and how I wish my friends know how much I treasure all those memories. Soemtimes it feels like it's going one-way, like I'm the only freak that remembers and misses everything. It's fine for me I guess.. haha. Thanks to the internet, I've been able to reach some people who have coloured my life. My Friendster account is ever growing with friends from the past. Haha.

    Some friends are married, some have finally found a goal in life, some moved on with an ordinary life, some are flip-flopping; but whatever it is I bet in years to come if we all ever meet each other again I don't think we're going to regret anything be it right or wrong. I wish all my friends best of luck in their future undertakings.

    Oh I hear the victorious sound of life so well!

  • I Will Find You Someday

    Have you ever felt restless, can't sleep, can't eat very well?

    And you do not know precisely a word that describes that feeling. A feeling new to your senses, something you've always been looking but scared to face. Wake up in the morning, thought you got the answer to the question you've been looking for- the name of that feeling; but it turns out that it's just another meaningless day. The haunting whispers in your head keeps rotating meaningless syllables every minute and every hour to fit the description of that nerve-wrecking, mysterious feeling.

    It feels less like love, more like loss mixed with a little anxiety.

    To the one who at this moment is facing a difficult time, if you're feeling scared and lonely; I want you to know that you are not alone and that that feeling will pass by like the wind carrying my thoughts to you. I know that you feel so small right now and how I wish I can wrap my arms around you and make you feel safe, take you away from this uncomforting feeling. Loneliness, the feeling that brings us together- though not in flesh and bones, but in our hearts. This feeling, is the feeling that I will always remember- whenever you're not here within my reach. I become a fragile person without you.

    Someday, you will be found and I will never let you go, for your eyes is the window to my happiness.

    Dizzy Dizzy

    In a gift shop, of all things I bought a Rubik's cube. It's the non-sticker type, for RM3. I learnt to solve it in about 4 hours via some good videos at the wee hours of the morning on YouTube and voila! Solved a cube for the first time. Pathetic, I know. Many people might have already learned how to do it a long time ago.. haha.

    Anyway, mom and dad are in Sabah for.. err.. a honeymoon? Hehe. I'm not very sure, but they're expected to come home by Monday lah. Recently, I've registered myself to get a driving license and by today (and tomorrow perhaps) I'm halfway through it. Most Malaysian kids who are at least in their last year at high school are probably terrorizing the streets by now, but yours truly is too much of a lazy individual who only realizes the need for her to get a driving license three years after she left school and is only left with a year before she's doing her internships. That is soooo not cool, I know. Well I'm doing it just because I need it, okay. I'd be glad to find myself a good bread-winner and become a homebound housewife, but in reality that's unlikely to happen so as long as I'm in the city, I *have* to drive. Anyhow, I met Enoi at the driving institute. Hahh.. of all places, Enoi who lives 100km+ off the city of Kuching is destined to meet me at that place today. I was initially shocked to see her and thought I was in lala-land. But she explained and I was like okay-whatever-lah and suddenly became a talkative person, telling her all the things that she doesn't really need to know. Haha. I'm only friendly, with friends. How ironic.

    Today started not quite right, but I'm too tired right now to describe everything. I'll write an intellectual post soon as I'm clear-headed. Too emotionally messed up.
