今年の第四日
Ok, I realised it just won't do if I don't post at least once for the first month of January first month of year 2008 (I just made a typo of the century *saves*) XD

And I'm going to forced myself to have this done in English, yay :D
See, 2006 & 2007 proved that whenever I type in Chinese, I'm bound to be angsting as if porcupine spikes got poked in between my toes.


The year of 2007 has just completed its course a few days ago. But memories currently freshest in my mind belong to 2005 and 2006. O_o  Now, I would go on an angst rage if this hasn't already become all too common for me.


Back in 2005, memories from two or three years ago were the clearest, if not most haunting to me.
The numbers just got bigger as newer years come by. Sad to say, I think my memory capacity is also starting to drop like it's being flushed. O_o  That's not a very healthy sign XD;;;  What had seemed so fresh as a memory to me, is now a haze of fleeting datas.


For the past few years, I had always been EMO-ing through the night before the new year comes.
This time though, I was really calm. Not in a scary way, but more like I'm no longer as troubled with how the way my life is. I've yet decided if that's a good thing actually XD


I remembered crying so sooo bad when I was told by a close friend, "If you don't start facing your life straightforwardly, your loneliness will just continue to grow out of hand."


Why did I tear so bad, I wonder. Maybe because what she said is true and I knew that it is but my pride just couldn't stand the fact. Maybe because of other reasons.


Here's a brief insight on my life for those who don't know me IRL:
My health problems started getting out of hand when my narcoleptic symtops began to surface. Then it's my more than abnormal sleep patterns which persist up until now. Plus, my body is generally weak and cannot withstand prolong physical activities. These all sum up to my major lack in daily activities, which include schooling and other social stuffs.


In one of my meet-up's with Keax and Ari a year or so ago, we were talking about what's going on in our lives and whatnot. Keax asked me a question so simple and clean, it slit right into me and stayed for a very long time, "What are you going to do about your life now?"


I didn't have an answer, I still don't actually. And that realisation hurt me as much as it scared me. I can't say it's a completely different case now, though. I still feel pretty helpless but am no longer as much in despair.
Hey, I actually brought Japanese students to tour around Singapore! 8DD
Thank you [info]kalcifer, no matter how much I dislike Ryu, the tour job is a premium trigger in my life.



Met up with June recently for a belated Christmas celebration, belated to the point of having a New Year celebration instead XD;
We were talking about our current lives etc (why, that's what meet-up's are for and I say so >D). Predictably, my lack in social life was brought up. June said something like, "Like now, your social life is really little, isn't it? And it's likely to become even more little..."


Much to my own surprise, those words didn't hurt me like I'd have thought it would.  To think merely a year ago, I would have gone all already.


Instead of spending half of my life time self-pitying, I've begun wrenching my brain trying to come up with resolutions to coordinate with my current situation... and actually physically working on it. "FINALLY...", aiyo I think I can hear some of the inner voices across the internet, people shy lah


Speaking of the unbelievable, I'm actually more willing to spend money on internet hosting space than on CD's that I'm dying to get. o_O  Some people would rather pay 60 bucks for a mascara than for a concert DVD so shutup XD


Speaking of money (you done yet? ~_~), I've come up with a fund saving plan for this year. But oh I wonder if it'd actually be carried out...
[Hey, there was a sentence somewhere up there something about "physically working on it"?] [SHUTHEFUP ]


Now, where was I = =
Oh right, hmm... I was saying I married a rich man (go to hell, liar = =凸)


Some recent changes that are pretty significant to me:
- I no longer feel like I'm being slapped in public when I listen to my friends talk about their school / social life.
- The desire to have normal Secondary school life is not there anymore. 15-yr-olds look like kids to me now 囧
- When I meet 14-yr-olds on the internet, I go OMG-THAT'S-SO-YOUNG (when I myself started at 10 or 11 >>)
- My bad subconscious habit of comparing people is suddenly gone O_o
- I can withstand Johnnys' songs now 囧omg


Hmm.. The end, I guess? I'd shut up now XD

Is the June mentioned the June we know?? Or some other June? XD

I hear you on this, lol.

Is your domain still the same one? :D

/random

*hugs* I'm glad you're stronger now, in the emotional sense. :) *patpat*

Yap, it's that June. We went to the same Sec school and still kept in contact with each other.
Though we don't meet all that often XD;;;
Speaking of which, will there be any 6A gathering anytime soon?

Yap, my domain's still the same since 2005.  Unless you're talking about any domain I had before 2005 (o_O)
http://www.languor.org (*v*)
A year of 750GB at USD77, after I got a USD25 discount from its X'mas special xD
And I got about USD11 in return since I upgraded my previous account instead of buying a new one.  Which means, it's 1 year 750GB for USD66. ♥

You're the first to say that to me this year~~~~~!  *glomping & molesting ensues*
What some others have commented to me is your sentence with the word "stronger" changed to "older"  (~___~)凸

Hey, doll
I'm glad to see you alive and well. I guess this means you got the email I sent. And reading this makes me happy. It's about time you realised what a wonderful person you are. I'm glad you made these revelations.

Email? I haven't seen it actually o_O|||
I've been having problems with my gmail, I'd try opening it on Opera later ><

Nah, I still don't feel like I'm all mighty and great ._.
But I've somehow started looking forward to working things out rather than dwelling in some emo corner XD
Things won't start to work out unless you actually start moving your own hands, yea? |3

That aside, you're the wonderful one, Dari-chan ^~
It's amazing to always be able to say the kindest thing to people around you. It may be the simplest of words but they can make one feel stronger. I know I feel loved XD

It's not a simple task if you ask me. I often blab out the wrong words at the wrong time.

*huggles* (*and molests you a lil bit while I'm at it*)
HAPPY NEW YEAR~~!!! May your 2008 be blissful and fruitful! It ought to, for someone like you

*flails arms* Happy New Year!

- I can withstand Johnnys' songs now 囧omg NO WAY! O___O hides evidence of listening to only Johnny's songs on and off for a very long time

I'm glad you're growing more ♥ I hope this year you grow even more! You'll stop feeling like being emo eventually. Those phases go away. usually with more Johnny's songs, seriously

Ne, June doesn't seem very nice =/ Having a social life isn't everything!

You're going to have a wonderful year, and marry Johnnysome rich man who will provide you with webspace and cds and dvds and mascara :Dv

Hahaha! I agree with ya on that actually. Cos getting emo while listening to JE songs is like Visual Rock going Leah Dizon style XDDDDDD
But certain Kinki Kids song do make me feel all nostalgic sometimes, especially if I'm browsing TomaPi stuffs XD|||

Ah, June's actually a very very nice girl! She didn't mean it the bad way. In fact, her tone's a concerned one but not overly-worried? It sucks that I'm bad at describing things over the internet. Or rather I suck at descriptions period = =

The richest Johnnysome rich man is that old man Johnny himself.
Now, scream with me NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

HAPPY NEW YEAR~! <3

Oh I'm sorry >__<;; I always think people are mean for those kinds of comments T.T;

actually I meant Johnny, and forgot to put a space after his name

Well.... you'd be able to get him to debut TOMA!

It's not really "social life" alone. Since I'm don't particularly enjoy swirling around big social cycles...

More like I'm at home almost throughout the whole year, doing practically nothing constructive at all. My parents will grow old, they are growing old. My friends will continue walking out new paths in life, meeting new people and mastering new skills and whatnot. And I'd be that old woman thinking as if she's still that 19-yr-old teen eeeeons ago.

↑ One of the main reasons for my Emo-ing XD

But I've kinda just grown out of dwelling upon it like I'm the most unfortunate little puppy in the WWW. Cos seriously, it gets kinda disgusting when you're still doing that after many years =.=

LET OUR MONEY PILING PLAN BE WORKING >;]

Toma in your avatar~~~~~~~~~ ♥
Happy New Year! :D

aww... i can quite relate to many of those things, if not all ^^;;

i'm like, way older than i want to admit in most of JE fandom (like, if i was following a "normal" school-and-life-progress path right now i'd be at least in the middle of doing a Masters right now or have some sort of "real" job - i have TA's who are a year or two younger than me) but i'm living with my parents and going back to school for the THIRD time and while i can handle about a year of school the second year always kills me and i've never gotten past it - i got all sorts of learning services allowances this term and am still working on finishing the work for one class which needs to be done in less than two weeks and i can't get anything done at a regular pace at ALL because i just keep freaking out and getting all avoidant and can't concentrate on anything except random internet crap, etc etc. I'm still worried i'll fail and i've had to cut my course load to 2 courses this term and i am even becoming afraid of THAT - because my plan for this semester is that i need to incorporate "balance", so i figure less school means more time for hobbies and exercise and potentially trying to fix my sleeping - but my sleeping has been fucked for YEARS. honestly getting out of bed is the absolute most impossible thing that i cannot figure out how to get better at. i can sleep in for hours and hours and it's really weird, i can NEVER be logical when i'm in bed and tell myself to get up and i just want to hide. everyone keeps saying i just need to get a "proper sleep schedule" and it'll go away but i'm sure it's not physical at all, it's totally mental so it's not a fucking "body clock" thing -_-;; agh.

anyway sorry that got kind of ranty. anyway... the other point was that I dumped my boyfriend at the end of august for weird inexplicable "i just need to be alone" reasons and proceeded to totally fail at school and not hang out with ANYBODY until new years except for going out once to coffee with a really old friend who doesn't make me nervous. =_=; i feel so dysfunctional and i'm just like "aaagh i'm just getting older and i need to fix this so i don't waste my life" and there's just way too many things i worry about and try NOT to worry about and so many things i am inexplicably WEAK about and i make progress but then there's always still so much more to do. oh well. ^^:;

it's just weird because during this shitty time i've felt shittier and had more anxiety than i have in ages but i've also become more positive in other ways... it sounds stupid but Kanjani 8 is really inspiring like that lol. I just wish i could spend more time emulating their positive attitude instead of just sitting here soaking it up while avoiding doing what i HAVE to do. if you knwo what i mean?

^^;; gyah i dunno. um. sorry for ranting! just... it kinda makes sense what you said and stuff and yay for slowly coming to terms with stuff... :)

(yay for saving money. even though i'm hardly making any right now... but i need to go to japan this summer i have never been out of north america and my friend is there teaching english until the end of the summer so it's my one chance to go and not pay rent! lol XD)

"YAY!!!!" For great new year resolution and optimism~!

I'm glad the tour help you in a way or another ^_^
And those tour jobs not just made 2007 memorable for me, but it too brightened up my life at that point of time.

Wa seh... It's been damn long since I last met June. She's still the cute little imp eh? XD
