jus alil update for the masses ;p yeah ok wateva.. haha

FINALLY met up with sara.. saw yas n chris too.. the circumstances we met under was not happy tho.. my dear chris's dad passed away.. i cant believe how i was jus speaking to her awhile back n everything seemed fine.. well only they now how hard its all bn.. everythin seems to be on her shouldres now.. being the eldest n all.. but i knw she'll manage... she has to.. all tt pain in her eyes.. those big beautiful 'turkey' eyes... filled with pain n sadness n yet so much courage n strength n jus the want to help her mum n sis..my heart felt like it would break jus hugging her.. imagine how many times worse she must have been feeling...my darling girl.. i hope u know u've always gt me here.. i know ur dad left behind three of his most beloved women.. knowin tt everythin was in ur capable hands.. knowin tt u guys will keep his memory alive for all time.. knowin tt even for generations to come his legacy will b known jus by lookin at these three women.. be strong darl..

other than tt..last wk was absolutely terrible... had the most awful cramps which lasted a whole wk! i am not kiddin u... every single day.. n it was so painful... on top of tt i had to go to work n school... n everything was jus going the wrong way.. it was awful.. at times like tt i was jus so grateful tt i work in a female environment.. where it was all understood n could be talked abt openly and lil 'accidents' were not disgusting or gross.. even if it happened every day!!they were all so nice..pitching in and helping n givin suggestions.. n letting me take so much of time off.. n jus showering me with al the love n concern i needed...i love u guyz! :) thx so much..

sighh...last thing i hafta say for tdy.. i know i kow dis is all over the place... i juz wanna let ppl know tt it's nt a nice feeling... feeling like u'e being taken advantage of... that when u nd me i drop every single thing n run to u.. ok well not literally run.. but i try my best to b there.. n when u dun nd me.. or my concern.. or my attention.. u juz chuck me aside like ytd's paper! sheesh c'mon la... i also have feelings u know...i am human too.. no matter how u might think otherwise... this has been happening long enough.. ive had enough..ENOUGH! we're all capable of acting rationally.. considerately..so juz spare a thot for me... it's not fun having a fren who i try to b there for but when ever i nd u to be .. i dun even see ur shadow ard me.. not once or twicw but EVERY SINGLE FREAKING TIME ...i think it's time i start giving more attention to other ppl who HAVE been there fr me... so whenever u feel like it.. let me know tt i've gt the real u back... i dun nd things to be the way they were before... i know tt's impossible...u've gt so many ppl to think abt i knoe...i jus want a smidge of u.. jus a teeny tiny bit will do...it's tiring being the giver all the time... n not having anything to receive... i want my day in the sun with u too!!!!having said all this..i bet nothin will change.. coz u prolly wont even feel the pinch.. n i'll prolly jus drop everything juz to hug u when u need it.. juz to b chucked aside again.. n knowingly or unknowingly, we'll jus b continuing this vicious cycle.. n y?? jus coz i love u.. dis is my price to pay i guess.. tat's wat frenz r fr? aint i lucky ive gt the best...

ali's grandma passed away.. ironic hw we were jus talkin abt her..alil weird hw we squabled n gt over it jus days before..a squabble which put me in the rite mindset to be there for her as best i could..hopefully makin a tiny diff if possible...tt kinda pain neva really goes away... from my point anw... i still feel my heart squeezin n tears comin wen i think of my grandma.. so whoever says it jus takes time.. i have no idea wat u're tinkin... but in a way.. it's gd u always rememebr.. its gd to always miss them.. coz it makes u treasure those days wt them so so much more...so i wish my ali alil peace.. to calm her heart..

its different havin frenz who're married or with kids... t's nt difficult.. jus different.. their piorites in life are different..they're at a different point of they're life...mybe im jus startin to feel it now wen im surrounded by frens who r wives n mothers more nowdays...but no matter i love them all still n still enjoy their company...jus no late nites or impromptu plans... ah well.. late nites.. mayb i jus grew up with too much of DIDI;p haha... my late nite partner..impromptu planner..haha...nw im so used to it sometimes i crave it

movin on to di..my sonkey...i hate wat life is puttin her thru... i hate the way she has to feel... but im sure she'l get thru it.. coz she's gt the strength in her... life can b unfair sometimes.. even the best get hurt.. they take it in their stride.. hold their head high n keep on hopin...coz tt's one thing u can never really lose.. hope.. n it'l get u thru the days somehow...but if even tt fails.. u've gt me babe..i cant mk things better...but i'll hold ur hand while we wait for somethin better...my heart goes out to u.. my heart goes out to him... who knows hw he muz b feeling.. all alone..dam..nt knowin wats happenin here...even tho we're nt the very best of frenz or anythin.. he's stil like family coz he's with u...so i still worry...it'l be ok babe..one day at a time k... sigh....

(i'll b ending soon k) hehe ok... i PASSED MY FIRST AID TEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehe tt was actually quite some time ago... the examiner really quite fierce n strict..but i passed!!!!! on my 1st try!!! hehehehe N i passed my first exam in my dip!!:) such a gd grade was really unexpected so tt really made me so happy!!!!!i know i know wats the big deal rite.... it is a big deal ok! haha ok last piece of info.. tt day one of my silly boys made me paic n worry.. i had to bring him to hosp..i tell u my heart felt like it was jus going to beat itself outta my chest..spent my whole day there with him...but nw he's ok..i think ;p hehe ok la tt's all for now.. i know it's a jmble... so many things wanting to b told at the same time... so many more things to say.but im lazy n tired n it'l jus have to wat til nxt time...

for sonkey n baba...nicked from one of my fav shows...
Sometimes we don't know our own strength. It can be hard to tell just how much weight you can safely bear, or how much will crush you. I'd like to think you can shoulder as big a burden as you believe you can, that it's all a matter of will. Certainly a comforting thought...Other times it's hard to remember you had any strength at all. Then you can only hope to have someone to remind you you were once fierce and able.

love u all...

for Baba...the in n out of me

im sorry...words tt were always so difficult for the stubborn headed us to readily admit to each other but the very words i wanted to continue sayin to ya.. n the words u sed back...readily.. i guessed we've evolved somehow from squabbling teenies to still squabling semi-adults who cn nw c the big pic faster....our first fight tt din last ovr days? :) hee... im glad things r in the open... n someow u know hw ive been feelin n i know how 've been feeling.... as i sed.. uve always bn such a part of me tt everythin seems magnified somehow... u've always supported me...encouraged me been there for me..even wen i couldnt find anyone else... frm the moment i gave u a piece of my heart u've kept it protected(well almost all the time;p except wen u're fighting wit me n wanting to kill me) it's bn hard fr me... i dunno if i can cope n there's so many things goin on.. n im sorry tt i din give a sec thot to u...i need u ali... to help me n be wit me n jus love me wen everythin doesnt seem to go my way n i cant find a single person who'l understand... i need u to b wit me wen even i dun wanna b wit me.. i need u to mk me feel impt n still the know-it-all of ur life... i need to hear ur sickenin jokes n ur sacarcism...i jus need u... n i know u nd me too... thx for everythin babe... uve been my blessing...i love u

RACISM

how does it happen when we live in a multi cultural society.. how can ppl even think it wen our neighbours n sometimes even our own family members r of dff skin colours... how can ppl make themselves so ugly by being racist when they believe in their own gods n claim to b gd ppl n preach tt everyone is unique n special... how can they make thmselves out to be better than everybdy else.. wiser, stronger, richer more powerful... jus by judgin ppl by the colour of their skin.. lemme tell u.. in my eyes... U r the weaker as u jus cant see a person for who they r inside... U r less powerful coz u jus simply disgust me... u r definately missin a few brain cells coz u seem to think tt only certain kinds of ppl r worth occupyin this earth...PLS la! ive heard racist remarks b4..directed at me or otherwise.. i've seen racist stares wen the person in question is not entirely welcomed... n the only thing i can think is... where do u get off... where do u f***ing get off thinkin tt way?sigh wat can i say.. to each his own... anw at the end of the day wen ur time is up it's U who has to provide the ans for ur attitude...i am jus lucky n truly blessed in tt my truest frenz... the ones i love dearly... love me for who i am.. colour doesnt matter... red, yellow, blue, white wateva... some of them...namely my beloved ali shares wit me my culture n her own wholeheartedly...n immerses herself into it...every1 of the really impt ppl in my life dun see a difference in colour but the bondin of the hearts underneath...i guess tt's y they're the special ones=D so all u crazy ones jus go jump off a bridge or somethin

phew.. jus so pissed off abt some comments made by a few ppl... anw.. my poor sissy was follwed home by some psychotic bast*** followed my sis home all the way frm sch! crazy or wat rite! lucky my dad was at the traffic light.poor girl was runnin hm... she was so freaked..U crazy psycho..go jump off the bridge too... n make sure u land on some really pointy rocks... idiot!
hmmm anw, im startin classes on thurs! haha gt my timetable.. 1st module has exam! darn.... okie betta head to bed gt work then FA class somemore aft tt... take care my darlings... it's U i love! heehee...

*c'mon ppl lets live in harmony...let go off the bad thots n u'll realise how wonderful each person is... despite race or religion...yes?

hold my hand... coz smetimes i jus nd U...

missin all my loves...gracie

ppl...ppl are weird sometimes u know... it's lk everyone has ther own funny habits n thots n stuff n each n every person is different n yet somehw along the journey of ur life u meet some great ones...n some not-so-great ones n some downright crazy -n i dun mean in a funny haha way- ones... n in some weird unscientific way u find these ppl tt just fit into ur life perfectly... suddenly u feel like u've known them forever or it jus feels oh-so-rite.. or u really do miss them wen they're not ard.. n u start thinking wat did i ever do before this person came along.. or wat would i b if i never met him/her...in a way i think tt everyone who ever appeared in ur life played a part to help u build ur character or help u shape ur beliefs or make u certain abt the kind of person u rather not grow up to be. then sometimes u find urself growin closer to a person n u share secrets n dreams n jokes n laughter n u've never felt happier and u dunno wat makes u do all these things just that somehow before u even realized it this person's come to mean somethin to u.. and u love them and want to always protect them and keep them in your heart for the rest of eternity...but sometimes it's just not enough n some of these ppl start to drift away or u fight or u quarrel.. but the impt ones stay... not tt they'l never drift or fall out with u it's just tt they're so impt n they're so special tt your hearts built a bond with theirs and no matter how hard u try to break it or how far u tried to run..it never works coz somethin'll just keep pulling them back to u....n these ppl.. some of them know u even better than u know yourself at times... they know wat u need and they willingly offer it... they hold ur hand when the going gets tough and they stand by u thru the scariest things just to protect u...they know how much it hurts to lose ur loved ones to death n they cry with u.. they offer their shoulder at all times and u know their heart is a safe haven for yours...no matter how bruised or broken.... they dun just say things to make u feel better but tell u wat u need to know... and with these ppl u find yourself growing n learning n appreciating the simple things like donkey laughter... or the way their hair curls like mad... or their cute lil rabbit teeth...or way u compare fingernails n hers is always bigger.. or the love-laden hugs...or the way they look wen they're happy...or cuddlin under blankets whisperin secrets.. or swinging in the balcony pretending to slp...or even shared silences...n u know tt no matter wat happens they've got a piece of ur heart for always...so ppl are weird sometimes coz they let ppl in and give away pieces of their heart... n love them so much it hurts to even think of them not being ard...but yet we continue doing it...coz somehow i guess our hearts know tt things n possesions dun make this life meaningful n awesome it's the ppl we include in ours who do....
so to the ppl ive lost along the way.. thank u for being in my life once upon a time... u're always welcome back in...n to the ppl who've stayed with me thruout everything... no words can even come close to sayin thank u for all the love...sometimes..especially recently i do feel in a way like im missing u guys so much... tt somehow ive only got myself..but these moments are fleeting coz my heart always brings me back to u... in my life you've created beautiful precious moments... amazing memories...in a way u guyz make me wat i am today.. wat i wanna b tmr n the day aft n day aft...:) my life is so much fuller with u guyz ard and i jus wan the whole wide world to know hw much u mean to me... life is so short sometimes... days pass b faster than u know but i wan u to know u've always got my love..n nothin'l ever change tt.. nothin!...i love ya each n everyone of u...
aight... was jus lookin thru some old fotos n missed my loves so much...gotta go back to finishin all the lp's ive gt stackin up...sigh.... nites! sweet dreams! muacks!

==SARA==

eace n quiet for now.....

i know i know i said i'd be back soon with a newly furnished site n all but wat can i say... im one lazy bugger ;p on top of that havin no real access to any comp doesnt help.. so when i can find one..wit no one else breathin down my neck tellin me to be quick then i'l update... like today for instance.. clever me locked the door so no one can disturb me for awhile... sigh.. the pleasure of some peace and quiet with just me n the comp... heh

anw, been so busy with everythin... im missin out on all the good for nothin gossip and iced chocs with my sonkeybanana...and so many other ppl...but wat can i say days have to go on, the world has to keep turning..ppl have to kp goin to work...blah blah blah and all that crap... i guess sometimes the most u can do is keep those impt to u close to ur heart..and think of them...memories really pull u thru when the heart pangs for them too much... but memories also can b the cause of those heart pangs.. a double edged sword?sigh...

hmm, got my ang bao tt day.. finally :) it just amazes me wat happens sometimes when u jus let go of watever was troublin u and leave it wholeheartedly to higher powers..somehow they suddenly fall right into place. so im one happy girl... i'm happy here and for now i guess here's where im supposed to be. went to watch disney on ice! it was awesome!! awesome!! =D i loved every min of it well, except for the part where these kiddies behind were shoutin n talkin so loudly and banging their feet on the floor...and basically they did tt thruout the whole show...and i dun understand y the parent sitting there din do a single thing abt it.. i mean c'mon la ur kids are misbehavin..TAKE CONTROL! hehe but the costumes were beautiful..and gorgeous and they made it look like dancing on ice was the simplest thing on earth... sigh... ariel reminded me of di..hehe would have loved it if she'd ben ere... i just love fairy tales... i guess it's just a part of me tt'l never grow up...so wat if im child-like...certain things just have to b seen thru the innocent eyes of a child....

ok.. the knockin and banging on the door's begun... my cue to leave the nice computer... sighhhhhhhhhh... will b back asap... take care all... sending my love

gracie

a brand new year's unfoldin.. and look at all we've left behind.. memories, happines n sadness, silly arguements, disappointments, surprises and experiences.2004's been good... filled with many ups and just as many downs.here's hoping 2005 will be much better. to all the loves of my life...who've always occupied my heart...i wish for you..happiness that overwhelmes u...peace that satisfies you and a safe n healthy year ahead. may the joy u bring into my life be quadrupled into yours.

thank u 2004...
* i'm a working gal! a teacher by no simple means... a special person in a young child's eyes... a person for them to irritate to no end and to bestow never ending kisses to lower tempers that THEY themselves have caused to soar;p
*i've learnt so much...and experienced so much..
*the most special people in my life have held on to me and encouraged me and supported me thru all the agonizing months..and i'm so sure they'l just continue to be there for the months to come
*i've felt the simple joy that comes from realising that i've got it in me to reach for my dreams
*i've added beautiful souls into my life...people who make me think... why didnt i know them before now!
*i've contemplated over so many tragedies that the year brought... and learnt to be grateful for what i have..no matter how much or little.

for all the people suffering...in pain and fear...i hope your pain ceases just a little... i hope your fear recedes for awhile... i hope lost loved ones will be found... i hope for miracles....

have a great year ppl!

love, Grace
