In Parliament, the Minister of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness announces, that owing to inflation and rising costs there will be no Autumn next year. September, October and November are to be cancelled, and the Government is to bring in the nine-month year instead. Thus will we all live longer.
Emergency measures are to be introduced to combat outbreaks of well-being and feelings of elation inspired by the season. Breathtaking sunsets will be restricted to alternate Fridays, and gentle dusks prohibited. Fallen leaves will be outlawed, and persons found in posession of conkers, imprisoned without trial. Thus will we all work harder.
The announcement caused little reaction. People either way don't really care No time have they to stand and stare Looking for work or slaving away Just another Autumn day.

hey! long time have i not here posted! hahah, that was german grammar. see, its a screwed up language huh?
anyway, the weather is so crazy nowadays. scorching blazing hotness in the day. the kind of hotness that all u can feel is the heat searing into your skin. the stillness of the air. the trickle of your sweat down your back. down your front. the claustrophobicness of the heat trapping you in.
and then the evening comes and sometimes that brings a cool breeze and beautiful blue-pink skies. And its nice to sit by the window and drink milo.
packed a box to be shipped home - when i come back from Munich that is. I was so tired that I fell asleep on the floor once it was packed.
anyway, its full of mixed feelings for me to leave this place, to leave people that i have come to know and really grown to like and love. now that exams are over, people are partying left, right, centre as they say it back home. the best parties (i feel) are always held in the park. with the night breeze, the huge sky full of stars. music. And the crazy ones with themes.
anyway, i came across this song which really describes exactly how i feel when i get my moments. (ahhh, yes, it sounds bimboish to have moments)
We'll do it all Everything. On our own We don't need Anything Or anyone
If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world? I don't quite know How to say How I feel Those three words Are said too much They're not enough
If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world? Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time Chasing cars Around our heads I need your grace To remind me To find my own
If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
-Chasing Cars, Snow Patrol
ok, yes, i know its from Grey's. If you watch it that is. Just don't read too much into it. I don't usually like to post things that are too personal, so indulge me just this once.

in my attempt to feebly prove that i am NOT a bimbo.. i shall write an entry about change..
shuowen's second voice: heehee.. despo! trying to prove smth, righT!!! whahahahahs
shuowen: okay... pyscho.. shucks.. i sound like i need therapy.. forgive me.. this is a once in a long while kind of entry. embrace it!
*Discliamer: all writings are based on author's own thoughts and opinions. They are not meant to challenge or prove anything.. they are just an expression of what she feels.
Change
Strange thing is this, change.. i was talking to a friend of mine.. and she started to talk about how she always fell ill and felt weak and usually, she would be upset with so-and so.. or hate someone.. hate.. such a strong word..
so, i started saying.. well.. to make yourself stronger, you can exercise more, eat better, or take supplements. Seriously.. if you are really so upset about being weak and sickly. DO SOMETHING! Dont just talk and say you mean it when you dont mean to do it (yes yes, i know i always complain about being fat, and that i should exercise more.. but the whole issue is that i dont really start an exercise regime.. cuz.. seriously.. i'm happier without the exercise.. so there! bring on the fat man! one day, if i really am serious abt the weight.. i WILL exercise.. it HAS happened..).
btw.. the exercise will produce endorphins, and you will become happy! and you wont find yourself hating people so much.. but more importantly.. its up to you to choose how you accept people.. hate them.. be angry and stay angry.. learn to forgive and accept.. and you become a better person.. more accepting and loving, less judgemental
so.. she asked.. how can i be so optmistic? i say.. life is short.. if life throws you lemons, make lemonade.. make the most of it.. if you are sad and angry and wallowing in self pity all the time, people around you wont like to be around you anymore, cuz all you are is sad energy.. and over time, as you lose your friends, you will become more sad and angry.
ultimately, the choice is for you to recognise the need to change yourself.. and change for the better.. cuz 'for things to change, i must start with myself'. and how do you start changing yourself? well.. for one, evaluate the company you keep.. are you all just a bunch of whining, complaining group? well, certainly, that does not bring out the best in you. and isnt feeling self-worth more joyous than anything in this world? that, you feel that you are doing something with your life, and not just going through the motions of this clockwork called life. so.. change the company you keep.. for if you are always sad together, that really means there is not much point in living life, is there.. imagine.. everyday.. trot down to kopitiam with a heavy heart.. plonk yourself down.. with your friends.. complain complain complain from sun up to sun down.. and trudge back home.. now burdened with not only your worries.. but also your friends worries.. that never seem to end.. you sleep restlessly.. wake up unrested and tired.. trot back down to the kopitiam.. and complain complain complain.. seriously.. it is a cycle.. and its up to you to recognise that this is NOT HELPING and that all u are doing is living in the past.
LOOK TO THE FUTURE! its so much brighter than you think. Your future is what you make of it.. it has yet to happen.. it has yet to occur. WALK THE STEPS THAT WILL LEAD YOU TO YOUR DREAMS! change.. life IS about change. There is never a day that occurs twice.. never a moment to be captured twice.. never a disaster to strike the same way it has before.. its up to you to make a difference in YOUR life.. you have one life..
live it
day by day
cheerfully
helping those around you
dividing the sorrows
multiplying the joys
cuz..remember, that no matter how hard life seems,
The harder you fall, the higher you will bounce up.
