To believe
you must first see.
To answer
you must first ask.
To know
you must first wonder.
To advance
you must first retreat.

And to Love
You must first have lost.

But.
Have i already lost it?
And more importantly
Am i lost?

laughed alot and was rather amazed by the belly dancing.
hey hey. all out there.
don't make fun of people who have spare tires man.
this lady who was obviously plump was one of the best belly dancers i've ever seen.
kudos to her man.

okay
so its the holidays.
and we're already halfway through the year
burning out fast
speeding on..
my first week has been spent
running from german school
to dance practices..
getting spire done
and spending most of my hours
either alone at home with my grand-dad
or at my aunt's
simply slacking around
lazing about
rotting and feeling completely burned out.
my mom's in Australia with my bigbro and cuz..
every other lucky soul seems to have gone out
for a pleasant holiday
to relax
lay back
take a break from the world
and for once see it pass you by
slowly
enjoying every single bit of it.
lying on a hawaiian beach
soaking up the sun
listening to the waves
beating on the sand
staring at the rich crimson sky
wishing you were actually up there
cruising on those tufts of white
looking down at the world around you
where you've left your troubles
worries
assignments
projects
and sorrows far behind you.


oh well.
im still here in good ole' singapore.
caught up between dance, german..
threads n tassles of spire, assignments..
camps, camps and more camps.
i could make my life a happy one.
i could if life warranted it.
oh well.
blah.

yltc camp-
there's this guy in my group
who apparently looks like Joey from Friends
real funny fella that one.
packing for camp already..
can't wait till monday
i guess its gonna be a great experience.
i'll be missing 7th's peformance for streetfest though
(sorry Bronwyn!!)
let's just hope and pray that this camp
will be worth that performance
and perhaps even more.

(actually im pretty sure it is)
i could make my life happy you know.

i really could.

feeling
unproductive
lethargic
i should be doing something right now
but
what?
there's nothing to do
zilch.
i feel stressed out
because well
i'm not feeling stressed.
and that's weird
not to mention unusual.
or maybe its because i feel really lonely
now that the holidays are here
i dont have much time to go out with friends
they're usually busy or not in singapore.
i spend my time
either with german-blabbering people, dancers
or my aunt.
like how fun is that?
i'm not saying i dont smile or laugh or feel happy..
i'm just saying
that its awfully boring.
everything's in black n white
i don't really see anything to look forward to anymore
not now anyways.
i wish school never ended.
i'm sorry.
am i jumping around and being absolutely random with my thoughts?
ah.
thought so.
well, it happens if you're like me right now.

wishing
that school never ended
that i could still get up every morning looking forward to school.
chuck the assignments and dash the stress
its still school.
school
where
your crackpotdodoheadsmartypantsmugerpok friends are around you
and where you can just sink into that quilt of warmth
love
laughter
smiles.
somewhere you actually want to be.
somewhere I actually want to be.

i wish
i could paint that perfect picture
a painting
just for me.
a moonlit beach
dark waters still as glass
my skin illuminated by the moon
smiling down fondly at me
the velvet sky sprinkled with stardust
a breeze running through my hair.
take away the sounds of the city
insert that special someone
feel that cool but pleasant night chill
running down my spine
as i sit there on the sand
feeling it between my toes.
hugging my knees
listening to the glorious silence
thinking about life and how it has passed me by
simply letting go
laying back
and chilling out.
spruce it up with an oldie
and throw in a nice bottle of champagne,
-perfect.

I can't pop into paintings
I can't make my wishes come true.
But i can make my life happy.
I can picture
I can imagine
I can wish
I can pretend
and I can dream.

Maybe i'll find this moonlit beach
someday.
Oneday.

But till then,
sink into my deep covers of sleep i shall-
my silk tapestry of sweet dreams
a world where such moonlit beaches do exist.
a world i can call my own.
my world.



Pretend you`re happy when you`re blue
It isn`t very hard to do
And you`ll find happiness without an end
Whenever you pretend
Remember anyone can dream
And nothing`s bad as it may seem
The little things you haven`t got
Could be a lot
If you pretend


have you forgotten me?
