So don't go away say what you say
But say that you'll stay
Forever and a day... in the time of my life
Cos I need more time yes I need more time
Just to make things right
Damn my situation and the games I have to play
With all the things caught in my mind
Damn my education I can't find the words to say
About all the things caught in my mind
Me and you what's going on?
All we seem to know is how to show
The feelings that are wrong

Dear Diary,
We are peculiar creatures. Too often we realise that we are like chameleons. We learn to adapt, to change accordingly to the environments we are exposed to. We can’t help it. We’re human after all. But how much do we have to change without changing ourselves entirely and permanently in the process? Because I don’t want to change. I just want to be me. And if that’s not good enough for you, too bad. I’m not going to change for you. Or for anyone else for that matter.
There's gotta be more to life, than chasing down every temporary high.
Temporary high - I guess that's why some people turn to alcohol. But I don't. I’m not too sure how I get my happy high. Don't get me wrong. I am happy. But I just can't help feeling like there's something missing in my life.
This blog has been wonderful. I can write whatever I want without this nagging conscience at the back of my head – warning me to be careful with what I type. But then again, I don’t give a shit about what people think of me anymore. And I’m tired of always seeming like the “bad person”. Everyone is human for goodness sakes. We all make mistakes. And if you fucking can’t learn to forgive and forget, I honestly don’t give a shit anymore. Really.
I used to tell myself - "I just want him back."
Now I tell myself - "It's okay, it's his loss." And it is.
Maybe if I stopped being so judgmental and if I learnt not to be so picky, I’ll learn to love someone again.
And I’m looking forward to that. :)
I promise I'll write again soon.
Till then.
Love, Sophia.

Will I be there when you call me in the middle of the night?
Will I keep the rain from falling down into your life?
Will I do all my best to, to protect you?
When the tears get near your eyes
Will I be the one that's by your side?
Will I be there when you call me in the middle of the night?
Will I keep the rain from falling down into your life?
Will I take tender care of you?
Take your darkest night and make it bright for you
Will I be there to make you strong and to lean on?
When this world has turned so cold
Will I be the one that's there to hold?
I promise I will.

Hmm okay I've run out of things to say about this particular matter. Honestly I was actually okay a long time ago and I did come to terms with it awhile ago, so I think you've misunderstood alot of things regarding me and my intentions. But it's okay because you've made it crystal - sparkly clear that you want me out of your life, for good, so I guess it's time to make a few changes? It's obvious that my efforts of attempting to salvage whatever's left of our very strained "friendship" was in vain, clearly you don't give two shits about this and you so very obviously don't share the same sentiments as I do. It's evident that whatever I say now will fall on deaf ears so.. I shall make this brief -

Practise tolerance and restraint, people. Why be so narrow minded and judgemental when honestly, you have no right to do so? What's the point of being so blindly fixated with your own sets of beliefs that you choose to ignore or worse, to frown and look upon others' beliefs with disdain? I am sick of narrow minded naivete because I have a right to live as I please and we only live once afterall so why not embrace life in all its fullest glory? If you ask me, I do not want to grow old burdened with regret and "what - ifs". Youth isn't forever so let's cherish one of the greatest gifts that life can bring - Our Precious Youth.
Okay, I don't know what's with my random musings at this time - 2:20 am.
I really should be studying and I'm fully aware that my body clock is topsy-turvy now. Sigh. I guess it's back to Statistics now.

2. A place you’d like to travel to: (can I name two places instead?)
3. Your favourite place:
4. Your favourite food:
5. Your favourite pet:
6. Your favourite colour combination:
7. Your favourite piece of clothing:
9. First name of your significant other:
Ventimiglia <3>
11. Your first job:
12. Your dream job: (Hellooo, New York!)
13. A bad habit that you have:
14. Your worst fear:
15. What you would like to do before you die:
1) I stay very near school (a mere 20 min bus drive as a matter of fact)
2) I have to move in on Monday which is really, a very awkward timing.
3) I have no friends in Sheares Hall.
It really got me thinking though. Am I too used to the familiarity of family, home and being around my friends? Maybe I'm not ready to leave my comfort zone just yet. "Home is where the heart is". After all, we're in Singapore and if I really want to experience "independent living", I should just go overseas right? Which brings me to my next point - I'm going to Japan in December! I absolutely cannot wait :-) Harajuku girls, bento sets, great shopping, awesome weather, white snow, freshly sliced sashimi = Heaven.





Another reason why I'm looking forward to December - Christmas! Even though I don't celebrate Christmas, it's still very much a pleasure and joy walking around the streets of Orchard Road at night and just immersing yourself in the Christmas festivities, looking up at the Christmas bright lights and reminding yourself again that this is such, the wonder of life. That we are able to be so fortunate as to open our eyes every morning and be thankful for the everyday pleasures that we are able to enjoy and experience.
So, I cannot wait for the darn exams to end. Two more weeks and the dreaded exams are over. Then it'll be party, shop, fun fun fun all the way.
And it really doesn't matter how many friends you have because all that matters are the people who count. Really, you could have 2000 friends but those 2000 friends could be just fair-weather friends. So too bad honey, you're back at square one.

It sounds simple but it can mean so many things.
I love you.. but only as a friend?
I love you in more ways than one?
I love you.. just like a sister loves her brother
I love you, you're my soulmate.
Or simply - I love you and I can't imagine my life without you.
I love you and I want you to be mine.
One thing I don't understand about myself - I find it so hard to let go. I found the courage to utter those words and actually mean it some time ago but hey, it took me a whole freaking year to do so. A whole freaking year! I should add "To not be so emotionally attached to someone, anyone" to my list of New Year Resolutions. But who actually follows new year resolutions anyway? I know I never did.
This is all my fault, why can't I just be sure about something for just once in my life? I hate it that I'm so fickle. There, I said it. I'm fickle and I suck at making decisions. (Case in point- I can spend a whole day deciding whether I should get a particular dress and at the end of the day, I find myself buying a skirt instead) Nothing is ever that simple and damnit, I wish I can just open up and tell you how I really feel about you. But I can't because I'm unsure myself. Maybe that day was a mistake and maybe it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing. Because right now, it sure does feel like it - it was just a spur of the moment thing. Too late, what's done is done and there's no use hoping and wishing that I can turn back time. Why do things have to be so complicated? But I don't want to turn back time. Because if I did, I wouldn't have known how it felt to be loved again, to feel safe again. This is a mess. I feel like a mess.
Thank god for the consistency I have in my life right now. No more rude surprises. I hate unpleasant surprises, they make me feel so vulnerable and powerless. Also, thank god for the wonderful friends and family I have. My parents, they aren't perfect I know. But they're trying. And no matter how often I rant and whine and complain about them, they're still my parents and I love them. And of course, those awesome people who have always been there for me 24/7. I might not show it but really, i'm thankful that I have such wonderful people in my life who have stood by my side through thick and thin.
Tomorrow's Monday - the start of a new week. Wow, I'm gonna be 19 in exactly two weeks time. And i'm gonna make sure I spend my birthday with people who actually care about me. God, I cringe whenever I think about that embarrassing message I sent to a particular someone just a few weeks ago. I definitely wont disclose what I wrote in that message but seriously, my cheeks still burn when I think about it. Sigh.. I don't wanna grow up though, I wanna be sweet 18 forever >:(
Food for thought, something I found on the internet which I found rather sweet :)
The past like some unquiet ghost still moves
Within, too fraught with longing to forget.
We have moved on, as is mature and wise.
But love, though long abandoned, never dies.
Have an awesome weekend!

satisfied with one's situation or life
Okay, maybe I have been walking around nowadays with a perpetual grin on my face and that might seem a little odd but honestly, I dont care. I'm happier now than I've been in months.. And maybe this feeling wont last, maybe i'll regret this in months to come but you know what? I'm happy and contented now. And maybe that's all that matters for now :)

Have you ever wondered sometimes, how you can be in the middle of a crowded room, how you can be amongst so many people- yet, you can feel like the loneliest person in the world? And it hurts so much when I keep pretending to be indeed truly happy, to seem as if I dont have a care in the world, when really deep inside, I'm not. People perceive me as a cheerful girl. Someone who always has a smile on her face, someone devoid of sad/ angry/ negative emotions. But i'm really just as sensitive as anyone else, maybe even more so. But I choose not to show people my vulnerable side. FYI, I have feelings too. Hell yeah I do.

This sounds totally random but I miss my friends. I really do miss the three awesome girls I feel completely at ease with, I love how I can always be myself around them. Jan, Wanxian and Kat - the loves of my life. (Who needs guys anyway?) Sigh they’re far away though and I’m stuck here in Singapore. Everyone is so caught up with university life and I used to feel the same way. Going to school used to be so fun and well, exciting but now I feel like school is such a bore. I know I shouldn’t feel this way since you know, being able to attend school at a university makes me lucky and I should feel blessed and fortunate but really, I hardly have the mood/ energy/ drive to want to go to school nowadays. Maybe I’m just a lazy ass or maybe I haven’t found any close friends in school yet. It’s kinda hard making new friends nowadays. Even the occasional small talk with people you bump into along the streets seems so.. forced.
Like for example-
Sophia: Oh hi it's such a surprise to see you!
xxx: Omg hi same here! How are you?
Sophia: I'm goooddd! What about you? What are you studying now?
xxx: Uhm ____. What about you?
Sophia: Real Estate!
xxx: (Wtf is that?) Ohhh really that's cool! So are you gonna be a property agent next time?
Sophia: Haha nooo. Hmm so.... (awkward pause) How's school?
xxx: School's okay! (loong awkward pause) Well, i'll see you around then!
Sophia: You too, bye!
Get my drift?
I have so many friends but those friendships which will last forever? Maybe only a handful.
Oh and another thing, I’m putting on weight like noboby’s business IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY ANYMORE. God I miss my skinny sec three days when I weighed a mere 43 kg. Now I’m like ___ kg heavier than that and omg I have no idea how im gonna lose all this excess weight. It's gonna get even worse when the hols come along and i'll be having so much fun till i forget that eating dessert after every meal isn't exactly "normal".
Back to the subject of school, i really need to start studying again, for now. So now i shall push aside daydreams of Japan, New York (no thanks to you, Gossip Girl) and Hawaii, and settle down to read my notes. I'm sure what they said about university life being the best time of your life isn't completely fictitious. I just have to try harder, yes?

The first week of school was mundane, to say the least. I only had to go to school on Monday, Thursday and Friday for a few verrryyyyy boring and rather useless lectures. A few things kinda upset me today so I took a five hour long nap in the evening to ya know, "sleep it off". I feel so refreshed now! I havent really been sleeping well (esp after mambo night on wednesday) and I think I really needed that extra few hours of sleep!
Nothing else I wanna blog about haha I realised a while ago that there's a prevalent melancholic theme to this blogg.. I shall blog about happier, more interesting things next time! :-)

I met up with Wanxian yesterday and it got me thinking. It's rare to find such great friends like her. She and Jan have always been there for me, day and night. When I was feeling horrid, they never failed to try all ways and means to cheer me up. Jan would call me from Australia and talk to me for hours till I felt better! They're awesome and I would be so lost without them.
Everyday you took my breath away but now there's no reply
Only hi, goodbye.
Have a good day all!

College life has been great so far! Lessons proper start next week though ugh. I can't imgaine sitting through all those dull and sleep-inducing lectures again :( But ohwell, there are only four more years before I enter the working/ corporate world and I am not looking forward to it all. Cherish our youth, youth is (unfortunately, not) forever!
Now, I need to rest my poor eyes. Goodnight all!

So much has changed in this two and a half years. I was foolish and giddy in love, I believed that forever then meant forever and ever. What did I know? I was barely 17 years old. What did I know about "forever"? Now, I find myself disillusioned and disenchanted. Nothing in life comes without a struggle. But at the end of it all, you do emerge a stronger and wiser person. Looking back now, no doubt, I wish I could have done some things differently. But here I am, forcing myself to look to the future, focused and determined not to make the same damn mistakes again.
"Sophia, chin up chin up."
If anyone could make me a better person, you could.

I just finished reading an interesting, thought provoking book "Brand New Friend". To cut a long story short, a 33 year old guy (his name is Rob) who is engaged moves to Manchester to live with his girlfriend. Believing that love conquers all and confident that he will adapt to life quickly in Manchester, he takes the plunge. The downside? He's completely friendless and lonely there having left his best friends, loved ones and basically his whole life back in London. He has lots of difficulty finding a new best friend in Manchester and when he finally does find a friend whom he can connect with, his new friend has a huge flaw. She's a girl..
Do platonic friendships really exist?
I personally feel that yes, it is possible to just maintain a platonic friendship with a member of the opposite sex. I myself have a few close guy friends, for instance Brinden who has been my friend for almost three years now. Of course we have had our fair share of troubles and I find myself snapping at him sometimes when he gets too annoying and arrogant (those who know him well enough will know what I am talking about) Amazingly, we still have managed to be good friends all this while. And I know that when I am feeling down, I can call him up, cry my heart out and he will still always be there for me.
Others may vehemently disagree with me and they might state that "there is no such thing as a platonic friendship"! Well it just depends on the way you look at it. Some "couples" are just made to be friends and nothing more than that. There is no "chemistry", "butterflies", or whatever you call that tingly feeling you feel in your stomach when you see a person you have the hots for
I have had my fair share of guy friends who have walked in and out of my life within a matter of a few months, weeks and even days! These friendships, albeit innocent are nonetheless sticky.. I guess. Girl friends are a different story altogether! While guy friends are entertaining no doubt, nothing beats the lovely, warm feeling of hanging out with a group of close girl friends in a small cozy cafe :) Okay on a sidenote, it's funny how whenever I think about "single and confident women", a vision of Carrie Bradshaw and her three sidekicks strutting down the street clad in their Manolos comes to my mind. I can safely say that my girl friends are the best. They have always been there for me. We laugh together, cry together and most of all, we grew up together. I love them with all my heart!
"Don't make someone your priority when you are only their option"
Food for thought, yes?
PS. Rob chose his girlfriend in the end, not his girl best friend :)
