Communication shakedown It's always the same thing You're still my favorite meltdown I give you everything
I've seen this movie before We give, we take even more You're still the team I am for But you can't stop keeping score
Hello space. It's been a while since I visited you. So much has happened this past month. New York was fabulous! Everything was different, the people, the air, the floor even. No words can describe how New York made me feel. The journey to the west however, was quite on the contrary. It made me hate the smell of coffee because all I smelt was coffee for a whole 22 hours. I haven't had coffee ever since.
The favourite boy flew off a day before I did. In case you're wondering, yes, I fell into the circle, yet again. My strength disappoints me time and time again. But I need to give myself one more chance, one more chance so I can give it my all, so I know I tried. I am bringing down my entire fortress of a wall in hopes of a change. But I know exactly, what's gonna come in December. I am prepared for this heart break that I will be presented with and I will accept. Because I declared this war, I knew I cannot win. But after that comes my happy ending, I can then, move on.
Despite everything that's happened, life is still the same. I turn 22 in 3 months. I still don't know what I want. I still regret my choices in school. I feel no gratification in every aspect of my life. All I feel is failure, like everyone's moving on without me and I'm still stuck in this wretched place. University has done nothing for me but leave me disoriented. I've been dragging this on for so long, now I don't even know if I wanna graduate anymore. I have lost all sense of direction.
I wish tomorrow would be different. But then again, wishes don't come true. I shall just watch my thoughts pass me by now.

I never dreamt it'd be this way I've lost any chance for me to say To say that I miss you Say that I love you Will someone please tell me I'm okay
Wherever you go I will be waiting Whenever you call I will be there Whatever it takes I'll make your darkest days so bright I'm in your heart tonight
Dearest Individual, You said we couldn't be together, I lived with that. You said you found someone else, I understood. But every time I try to move on, you're right there, blocking my path. Maybe you don't want me to be as happy as you are. But I believe you're not as injurious as I give you credit for. So please, all I need is for you to tell me if what you feel for me is real, or if it's just a game. If it's real, then let's do this, we'll figure it out. Together. But if it's not, then just let me go.
I admit, I've lost. I've lost every single game I've played against you. You won, I surrendered. But you've held me prisoner for far too long now. Free me of your hold because even though I choose you, I know you cannot make me happy because you choose her. Now, you alone have the power to keep breaking me and you alone have the power to keep the empty hole in my chest from tearing apart.
Love, Nan |

In a way, I need a change From this burnout scene Another time, another town Another everything But it's always back to you
How many times can I break till I shatter Over the line can't define what I'm after I always turn the car around
Why can't I have what I so badly want?! Why do I have to want something which was not even mine to begin with?! Because of you! I was here and I am still here. I was sitting at this same exact spot staring into the bright lights of the night trying to soothe the pain and its no different now. This time its just me. My mind is churning out the emotions of the past, haunting me as you are. Weak as I am, I won't let the exterior waver in your presence.
What I have now is temporary. Its not perfect but its a distraction nevertheless. I do have the tendency to want to figure it out, but I'm taking it as it is. No fuss. But why does it always have to be so crowded?! Sigh.

Some things we don't talk about Rather do without And just hold the smile Falling in and out of love Ashamed and proud of Together all the while
We're pulling apart And coming together again and again We're growing apart But we pull it together, pull it together, together again
The dark cloud has started to hover above my head. The heart only beats like that for the horror shows I get forced into watching. It took forever for complete calm to overcome me. And here I am wishing for prolonged calm because of the tidal wave you cause in me time and time again. Its not joy or excitement but distress from the impending danger you pose. But I insist on winning this round! |

| | Let Me Sign by Robert Pattinson | ] |
I was damned by the light coming out of her eyes She spoke with a voice that disrupted the sky She said walk on over here to the bitter shade I will wrap you in my arms and you'll know you've been saved
I admit. I am scared. I have no idea what to expect or what to look forward to. Its a blind spot I see. I don't know what I'll become, what I'll turn into. When it really comes down to making the choice, what if I succumb to everything I fight so hard to repel against?!
And so I consider the options, that are currently not even present. But if they were to appear, what would I choose? My mind churns out possibilities as I meet new faces in new places. The questions and thoughts they throw at me, simple yet quite a mindful. Week after week, I go through rounds of peculiar examinations, like I'm of an unknown species.
I don't see how the life I lead is of any interest to anyone on the outside. Patience and politeness have never been my greatest traits and recently my tolerance levels are being tested. And I have to suck it all in and stop myself from snapping. But maybe I shouldn't. Maybe it'd be best to let it out. The word would spread and I'd be infamously avoided like a plague. I am quite inevitably talented at keeping people away.
But nothing changes. Everyday is the boring old mundane. Nothing new, nothing exciting. I was in this same exact place two weeks ago and I'll probably be in this same exact place two weeks from now. My already monotonous life at a ripe old age of 21 only gets more impossibly monotonous by the day. |

I hope my smile can distract you I hope my fists can fight for two So it never has to show And you’ll never know I hope my love can blind you I hope my arms can bind you So you’ll never have to see What we’ve grown to be Thanks to school I've had a good four days away from work. But tomorrow the war begins again as I fight to stay on my feet all day and constantly explain a sure-press touch screen. I HATE it but it pays. It pays to be tortured. Now, I look forward to the day I'll be a tai-tai and actually work for leisure. I'm tired of being independent. I'm tired of having to work for myself and provide for myself. I know that's the way its supposed to be, but maybe I started too young. I started too early. And now I'm tired. And now there is no one I can depend on. PS. TY made me upset.  |

How I wish you could see the potential The potential of you and me It's like a book elegantly bound but In a language that you can't read Just yet
You gotta spend some time, love You gotta spend some time with me And I know that you'll find love I will possess your heart
I thought about you today. Suddenly, out of nowhere, while lying on my bed, I had thoughts flooding in. Maybe I'm just tired, I get emotionally weak when I'm tired. And I wanted this to be a happy entry.
So I work 6 days a week on my supposed term break. That gives me one day to stay in and recharge my batteries. But instead, I baked. Sometimes I feel like I'm a housewife in training by choice. I miss a certain tall and tan boy who turns red when he laughs and is made of nice-ness<3

I walked across, an empty land I knew the pathway like the back of my hand Is this the place we used to love Is this the place that I've been dreaming of Oh simple thing, where have you gone I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin So if you have a minute why don't we go Talk about it somewhere only we know This could be the end of everything
There is real and there is fake. The original happens to be far more valuable. And I mean FAR MORE valuable. But are every single one of us worthy of its grace and beauty? Terms and conditions apply. April brings me promised events from the past. Exams and assignments are just two old friends. All I want now is bright sunny weather, good hair days, some courage and for it to rain money. Oh and for someone to delete the procrastination programme off my list of functions.

I must say my love for happy addictive songs is ever lasting. And now I am totally falling in love with a certain type of music that I was never fond of to begin with. Now, while I 'm being all happy and gay in this new bubble, in the real world, missy me has two papers due on Friday and all I have is open tabs full of potential research. I HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE TO wake up motivated tomorrow! Just two more days, a day each for a paper (okay, that actually doesn't sound too good). But after Friday, I get to sleep as much as I want and watch as much videos as I want. And I can look forward to a new week filled with remembering my consonants and vowels, using my New York organiser and dance. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Eyes like flowers I love the way you see, you see, you see You're the best thing that's happened to me Maybe I should fight harder for you But I said I'd let you go when you wanted me to I have no power I see the way you run, you run, you run As soon as we start to have fun Maybe I would feel better alone Or just feel something My heart is turning to stone
I think technically I should like math. Math always has a definitive answer. Its an absolute, unmistakable answer. Its definite. Its final. Math could be my hero. People should speak math. Not English, not any other language that requires articulation of any sort. That would be perfectly boring and peaceful. Everyone wins. Nandha wins. And that's what matters.
Angel and I have a plan. We intend to get drunk and get emotional and cry and probably giggle and laugh out loud at the same time. Pretty much just use up all our energy merely trying to emote how we feel and be crazy and then pass out. Perfect. |

| | The Little Things by Colbie Caillat | ] |
The little things you do to me are taking me over, I wanna show you Everything inside of me like a nervous heart that is crazy beating My feet are stuck here against the pavement I wanna break free, I wanna make it Closer to your eyes, get your attention before you pass me by
And every time you notice me by holding me closely and saying sweet things I don't believe that it could be you speaking your mind and saying the real thing My feet have broke free and I am leaving I'm not gonna stand here, feeling lonely I wont forget you and I won't think this was just a waste of time I always went in circles when I dwelled in my thoughts, but this time it's hit me. I have been thinking and something that never dawned upon me, has now. I got it, I know now. Certainly a worthy revelation. Some things I've always known, but some are new and everything just makes better sense now. That relation I made to someone I've known for years cannot be more true. This one character I've met in different forms of females and now in a male. Now, all I can hope for is that I stay this sane and sensible for a long time coming, possibly till Christmas.
Revelation Number 1: We don't have proper conversations. Never had and at this rate, probably never will. Our longest conversations are ones that involves us arguing over who hurt who. It's like this competition where we just hurt each other. That makes me no different than the people I detest. Everything that comes out of my mouth is an attempt to put you down through means of sarcasm for my sense of gratification. And I am done, so done. I am nice to people I like. I am nice to people who deserve to be treated nicely. I am nice to people who treat me nicely. And I think at one point or another you fell into either of these categories. But I failed to keep to my end of the bargain, which probably led to you thinking of the negativities of us. I don't know. But you're not that person I want to talk to. You don't ever ask me about me. Its always about us, god forebid us and our misunderstandings! Its not like we are or were a couple even. We don't ever tell each other what's going on with our lives, never in depth anyway. That just ridicules the entire friendship.
Revelation Number 2: We have nothing in common. Nothing. We lead entirely different lifestyles and we're from entirely differently worlds. We don't even try to be part of each other's worlds. We don't want to have anything to do with the other's lifestyle. Its like we don't care or something. Opposites attract at some point of mutual understanding. There's that common ground there, which I believe we don't have. Probably why we don't have proper conversations. I feel like I'm some sorta alien around you. I am normally used to being the wierd one around, which I have no difficulty dealing with. But to be alien is like the highest possible degree. No efforts made to make me feel better there. Expectations have proven to be a bitch! Its just after all this time, I thought I'd find something, instead I found nothing. I actually discovered nothing. Bingo!
Revelation Number 3: Okay this is not so much of a revelation because it's always been a thought and I still stand by it. Embarrassed much, aren't you? I am not angry. It's not okay but it'd be great if it can be dealt with. I don't feel embarrassed as much as I behave to be. I am not embarrassed at all. After several attempts at rejecting the idea of us, I learnt to embrace it somewhere along the way. I get it, I'm a little different, very different in fact and I can't do anything about my heritage or monetary worths. My life isn't anything like yours or your friends'. I study, work, stay home, watch tv and bake. I am the way I am. Take it or leave it. The least you could do is to stop swinging between the options. The former would have to come with making clear changes to the earlier revelations and the latter won't be much of a problem because after all that we've been through, its not like we've made any progress anyway.
I am not angry. I don't know why. I usually am but this time it feels different. I feel a sense of renewal, a little stronger, a little progressive on my own. A little upset mostly because all of that didn't amount to anything. But its not all just waste because its altered me and I've grown. Not that I don't regret my actions and choices because if I could turn back time, there are so many things I would go about differently. You don't have to make it up to me. You don't have to apologise even. I just need you to understand. If this is me finally, really moving on, or even anywhere close to getting over this phase, thank you!

This is probably not a problem at all. But, there's always a but. I don't even know why it matters. Its just so annoying though. I was all happy and excited for nothing. Putting together a couple of words to form chirpy and nice is definitely not a no-brainer. Not for me at least. Clearly, effort unnoticed! Okay, no, in my defence, I'm not being difficult. I am just upset, a little upset, that my chirpy, nice message did not receive what it deserved.

I like the background but I can't seem to figure out how to change the fugly font and colour. I kinda gave up on it because its so bloody frustrating! So until whenever, fugliness it is. And to add on to my frustration, my dad decided to switch connections from Starhub to Singnet and it fucking sucks! The stupid connection is slow and I can never load all my tabs at any one time! Absolutely useless!
Shopping has certainly been blissful. I just have some stationery and accessories to scratch off my list. Oh and the week started of with a surprising effort. Jaz, Serene and I signed up for what is apparently commonly known as BTT! I have yet to find the book so I can study for the test, I'm pretty sure its somewhere around the house though. I cannot fail this, although I have the strongest feeling I would.
This semester has been good so far. I am switching from journalism to marketing for one of my majors. I suck at writing. I was told I need to learn how to express how I feel. Surprise. I cannot articulate my feelings to save my life.

I know, I know. I'm a sucker and a loser. I admit. But it was just good to know everything was alright with him.
