learning a life lesson
Sunday, October 10, 2010 3:21 AM
been 4 long mths since i had last blogged and things well; its kinda complicated at the moment but at the same time, it seems to be alright. i just keep telling myself and also do what ever i can to be motivated and positive. working currently in a japanese restuaraunt as a waitress and the ppl i'm working with can be really fun. a lot of things happened at work and also back at the home i'm staying in. each day is filled with lessons, life lessons we would need to face, learn and remember....i reflected back on everything that had happened during the pass 4 mths...

i've realised a lot of things i never have before i moved into the home. but when i went in...everything materialised in front of me and i never thought that reality would really, i mean "really"; hit me hard in the face.....at first, i thought i lost everyone. i lost my family after something happened back at home, i lost my friends because we weren't together anymore, i lost the person i loved because i thought i was not meant to be with him. i was upset at first after my friends said that i was using them, after they said things which i believed were hurtful to me and i thought they turned against me and never want to have anything to do with me. i was angry that they think its not as bad as it seemed from what i told them while i was staying in a home filled with distrustful ppl who never treated your friendship sincerely and who's motive was to get you into trouble with the household head...the staff there also can't be trusted and they bring up the reasons, reasons which hurt you badly inside, of why you were brought to the home. i was angry also that they think its so easy to get over a traumatising experience which have happened to me for 2 yrs long and everytime i have to recount the incidents, i end up in tears.

i'm even having a difficult time trying to decide whether or not i want to testify against a person who took care of me from young until now because i'm grateful to that person and also love him very much. because i had to lauch a report, i lost my family and they don't want to have anything to do with me. i was so angry that they never understood how much i have to go through, the investigation, the checks, the trips to the doctor...it all terrifies me! things which ppl don't like about you are brought up and then they just start discriminating you completely without even wanting to get to know you first! its so hard to fit in there, the kind of environment i was living in, why didn't they think about my feelings?

i also thought negatively that instead of supporting me or giving me comfort, my friends just give up on me and leave me alone! i even let my negative emotions get in the way of my relationship with the person i love and i chased him away thinking that the way things were, the way i was now, would affect him negatively and i was afraid he could be hurt. i thought it be best to let go of him and protect him form all this....

really i thought i was all alone and had no one to turn to to vent out my feelings, my frustation, it all accummulate inside me that i thought i go crazy. luckily though, there was a person i met who was caring enough to listen to me. and also knock some sense into me saying that i was being stupid. a little voice in my mind told me to look back on everything and ask " do you think that everyone around you was right this whole time? why are you feeling sorry for yourself when you should know that there are others who had it worse than you? Did you even consider the feelings of the ppl you had around you before?" i thought.."wow...i really never listened to anybody and now look what's happened....i was so stupid not to really open up my eyes"

i find this really insane and i find it hard to believe that i'm saying this but i guess there's no denying that being put in a home, is what i really needed....i now realise how selfish i was before as i reflect back and i took everyone for granted. especially my friends and the person i loved, i asked how often do i say thank you to them for everything they've done, and i know i done little for them in return. they were right about me using them because i only went back to them when i needed something. it was my fault too for failing to keep in mind and also understand that they are not really able to understand what i feel because they never gone through what i have. i also treated the person i loved the same way. i took him for granted and never really appreciated him and the love he had given to me. i treated him like he was a "thing" and not a human being with feelings, a human who has a heart capable of feeling love and a heart that is capable of feeling saddness...i really am ashamed of having treated him that way and for having toyed with his heart.

only when i'm really alone, then do i realise how much i really cherish the ppl who are important to me. i always thought that the person who created me was being unfair and that he was taking away everything that i ever wanted. i thought that he was being unfair taking away the ppl i held dearly to me. but then i realise i have no one to blame but myself. i was the one who hurt them, i was the one who did this to myself. i also should be looking forward and not looking back because the past is the past. by having many losses, i know what to do from now on and i would also vow not to make the same mistake. bad things happen for a reason and sometimes its beyond my control. things like this can make me a stronger person. i need to continue looking on the bright side of things. i'll just keep hoping and praying that things will be ok. i really learned greatly from this life lesson and now i'm trying to find a way to heal the hurts i have caused on the ppl i loved.

For the ppl i once never gave a chance to have my friendship, i want to apologise for having been mean to them and never giving them a chance to get to really know them. i want to turn over a new leaf with everyone. it will be a long road to recovery with my family, it will take some time to reconnect with the friends i lost touch with and restore the friendship i have lost. however; maybe for the person i love, i'm not sure how long it will take because it will depend on him whether he wants to get back together or not. but i think i may have lost him forever...i don't blame you if you ask yourself whether you want to take the risk again because i was the one who hurt you. i always hope that maybe after realising so much, i could turn things around and make it up to you but after what i said before...i feel like its too late. The letter i wrote, i sometimes feel as though that it was not the answer i wanted to give you and i ask myself the question you have asked over and over again. i know the answer won't appear out of the blue or before my very eyes.

but i know for one, that i still hold you dearly and i even find it hard to let go of you because i still love you very much and you mean the world to me...what you said, you were right. even if you choose to let me go, don't give up on yourself. Don't think that you will never find love. You often tell me others have been chasing for you, so why not give them the chance? i know you can find the right person for you...But maybe after you have completed studying yeah? i will still wait for your answer. if its decided that you will let go, then can i ask that the friend i met 2 yrs ago, come back? i really miss that person who always loved to share about anything with me and also joke to make me smile. i want that old you to come back....

Maybe after all this i deserve to be alone, but i thank my dear girls who have choosen to still keep in touch with me and for still having concern even after what i did to them, to the ppl i have discriminated in secondary school, i thank you for giving me a second chance to turn over a new leaf and offer me your friendship. to my "brother" and work friends, thank you for lending me your ears and for giving me the motivation to be positive and look on the bright side of things:) really love you all!
A new change and it all starts here....

Time of hardship
Monday, July 26, 2010 1:47 AM
hey everyone.

alot of things have happened since last year and its been a long time since i last posted anything. Right now things aren't as it seems for me anymore. Terrible things have happened and my life was changed completely after the incident...i've been in a horrible place and it really sucks likes hell there...i have no freedom at all and i lost a lot of things that i used to have. i'm now on my own without any support and trying as best as i can to cope emotionally. i would want to tell wat had happened but its really a pesronal thing which i dun wan to reveal to the rest of the world.

times have changed and i really wish it would go back to the way it use to be. i'm so full of regret, anger, disappointment, sadness, many many feelings are welled up inside me...there's no one i can trust anymore and i'm always wishing that i could find a way to escape reality...now i'm wishing that i could leave and go to a new place where i can start over and start fresh...

a nice quiet place in a remote area where the air is pure and there's plenty of greenery and open fields with a 2 storey bangalow house and a companion, a loved one or an animal by ur side to be with and have no worry in the world at all...wad a nice life that would be...(sigh)

well my entry for today

O'levels have ended (long ago i know) Holidays work work work!
Friday, December 25, 2009 6:22 AM
Hi people,
so sry for the extremely late update>_<. during the holidays i was working from the last week of november til now. Its only work for part-time and its not really easy and its tiring. despite that, i made quite a lot of friends. there are some naughty ones, some funny ones, some mysterious and also those who love to be dramatic. i have finally found a place which its people gives full acceptance and friendship no matter what kind of personality you may have and they also do not discriminate you if you happen to get along with someone they may dislike. working at Canele by the way...

yesterday i was working and i finished around 7pm and i had to go to my aunt's house for a christmas party. i was just on my way there by taxi but inconveniently, my mom left one of my cousin's presents at home and i had to ask the taxi driver to drive back home after almost arriving at my destination. i ran up to my house to fetch my cousin's present that was sitting on the table and ran back down to the annoyed taxi driver's cab. i was exhausted too so i made a mistake in the direction my aunt's house was at. i arrived, met my parents and my relatives and sat down to have dinner. the moment i sit down my stupid annoying cousin asks me a question which i dun wan to think about in 2 weeks time. Ya'll know what it is right? "how's ur O' levels?" Argh-_-"..... other relatives came and also ask me the same question i was like "Not now!" or "F*..." in my mind. one of my uncles who sat next to me, ask me if i was confident of my O levels, i just shook my head cause i was too tired to pay attention to what he was asking me .

wow work took a lot of energy from me. after eating i sat next to my dad on the sofa and went zonk right away, for a few minutes but my mom woke me up and ask me to move to the end of the sofa and sleep. i took a pillow and laid my head on it and went back to sleep. i was asleep for an hour but i woke up as it was getting noisy. everyone was passing presents and i just watched. went home around 10and opened our presents at 11. the presents i have to admit its better than last year. mom and dad got me a new pair of diamond earrings from sookee jewellery, loved them. after opening our presents, i chatted with my bf and went to sleep.

this morning, woke up at 8.15 then bathe and go downstairs thinking i may be going to church. guess not going on monday. Today, my other cousin and my grandfather came to visit. had a nice turkey, beef and chicken dinner with stuffing, mashed potatoes, steam veggie and rock buns Yummy^_^. After dinner, my younger brother started a war with my cousins and i got in the crossfire. LOL! the boys were losing the war against my girl cousin and unbelievably she was a pro. she ambushed the boys and surprised attacked them. everyone was laughing everytime the boys ran from a gun pointed at them. haha>_<
This christmas is not much but its great when you have your family to spend time with. Before i end off, just want to wish everyone out there a merry christmas and a happy new year. may all your dreams and wishes come true at this special time of year.^_^ Signing off now,
Serenity

Tuesday, September 08, 2009 7:24 AM
hi everyone

so sry for th late update. its been a while and things have been a little hectic...too hectic...
alot of thing have happened since july...its hard to keep track of it all but i'm holding out well
thanks to the support i'm getting from my loved ones and my friends who believe in me. I've been thinking about a lot of things and i'm studying really hard to ensure i do very well for my 2nd prelims. The 1st one as predicted is horrible...my maths was the worst amongst all...(sigh) i even messed up for my coursework and now i'm really hoping that my theory will pull up my overall for my O'level F and N. Homework is very demanding luckily i have until after my 2nd prelims to finish everything. Last friday was just the most horrible thing i have ever experienced in my life. I was so careless i had forgotten to check the reporting for my 2nd prelim science pratical and i was super late....i ended up losing 15 marks for both practicalsT_T i only remembered about the reporting time when my physics teacher told me and another girl who came late that the time was given on a piece of paper that was put up on the notice board...i was saying "idiot" to myself the whole way through my no longer 2nd prelim exam but practice science practical.(wails)

even personal life at home is bad...i was like really sad after what had happen the after my 1st prelim. i had seen someone who was to help me with something personal and i really hope it doesn't turn out bad...i know will be facing hell when O levels end...i hope it doesn't hit my family hard too...I praying so hard and doing everything i can to stay strong...i try so hard not to think about all the time...well just hope for the best...

well that's all for tonight, yea tonight cause i'm gonna sleep...anyways signing off

hi!

ok this will be quite short. Holidays so far have been so sucky and why? i'm not allowed to go out anymore-__-" so unfair i see other teens out and i get so envious of them all the time. Can only go out with parents and not frenz....so sad....more stressful with holiday homework and my coursework is even more stressful! i can't even find the proper resources i need and it's getting no where! not good.....prelims are also next week so i am like having huge difficulty trying to find the right time to study. first prelims will already be the science pratcial as well as F and N. CAN DIE! so happy i finish my holiday homework on time but not coursework. Still have tuition and therapy homework to do. (sigh).....well at least i get one free day out with my frenz this thursday but that's the only day i can go out.....well that's all for today

heys!

wow it's been quite sometime since i last updated this blog of mine. haha, anyways the month of may went by very quickly and now it's the june holidays for all lower secondary but not for the Sec 4s and 5s. due to it being O'level yr for us, we got to return back to school for 2 weeks for extra lessons and a maths mock exam on wednesday-_-" great.....just what i need....really this is too much for me....(sigh)....i didn't go back to school yesterday to get back my progress card because my parents couldn't go. I saw Hiu To's and Vivien's progress reports and wow...they got really good results compared to the last one they had. i also happen to see the good comments they got from our teacher....just looking at their results i started worrying about what mine would say....

It's the usual fear of what you think your parents may say and that it might disappoint them again if you don't perform well as they had expected you too....I have been trying so much harder to improve my grades and it seems it didn't work....instead of improving, the results deproved.....it's getting so much harder. Even with my O'level coursework i find it so difficult to do and i'm trying desperately to gather all the resources i need to help me with my research and all....i'm falling behind and my practical exam is already like less than a week away.....

Even friendships are becoming so difficult to handle....Despite seeking help from a councilor, once one problem ends, another one will start. I thought that our problems would be resolved for good and that we would be able to turn over a new leaf but it seems that, what ever we had discussed, it didn't get through the person's thick skull. In fact, it keeps getting worse with her stubbornness and her insensitivity as well as being disrespectful to other people. I think one day i'm gonna explode on her and end our friendship. She herself will know it too but she just keeps doing it....ARGH! i can't stand her! She thinks that she is the most dominant one of the group and that she is better than everyone else! She so stuck up and she even gives that look of her's and her so-called "motherly love" is getting on my last nerve! She treats me as if i'm a vulnerable child who cannot protect herself!

Hello! I'm 18 god stinking yrs old and she thinks that i'm immature? well getting angry over a small matter, telling people not to be friends with people she doesn't like, as well as insulting them, is immature behaviour!!!!!!!!......(pants, pants)......she even lost my trust completely when she kept saying nasty things behind my back and i end up hearing from other people. She has no idea how hurt and disappointed i am with her....she is no longer the friend i have known since sec 1 and she has changed completely to someone who's gonna suffer for the rest of her life. I thought she would stop but as expected she is gonna keep on doing it....(sigh)

Even today, i was talking to Emo about going to our affiliated JC which is Catholic Junior College. Mr Toh, my Choir master is thinking of wanting to post me and another classmate there because of our outstanding performance in our CCA. I would have like that although i had my heart set for poly but it couldn't hurt to try. But that would mean i have to continue choir....anyways i dun mind it but Catholic JC is a nice place to go. the people there too were very friendly. Last year we had a combine concert with them and it was So much fun....anyways i was talking to Emo about this and that person heard me.....she said some stupid rubbish about CJC saying that it had a huge case of pregnancy rape. I was like WT* in my mind and Emo spoke up for me telling her i was 18 yrs old and that i was trusted enough to take care of myself. Then that person gave me that stupid look saying "ok i warned you, don't come crying to me if something happens to you!".

I gave my "whatever" look then ignore her. really i thank the lord that this is my last year in sec4. i will be happy never to see her face again! i know one day she will get the taste of her own medicine and she tells me the whole world hates her, I already know why.......I can't believe our friendship fell apart in a heart beat.......Maybe some friendships were not meant to last forever.....my school life is so stressful......

So sry for the late update. Very late update.

ok where to start? Let's see last week all sec 4s had their english and mother tongue mid-years and then we all had three days of study seminar for our Camp Corri. The instructor was good and taught us some useful stud skills. during break i had tennis balls be thrown at me for no reason. I'm not wearing a target sign ppl sheesh! On Monday i caught the flu and it got totally worse when i went to take my english mid-year exam on tuesday. Air-conditioning made it worse and i was coughing badly plus my nose was runny. The next day my voice was gone, had sore throat and i went to see the doctor to medicine and MC for missing the first day of the study seminar. I went to school on thursday to attend the day 2 study seminar and my goodness the air-conditioning was very cold. Stupid i forgot to bring my jacket on day 3>_<

Too much drowsy medicine plus have to wake up early in the morning of course i wouldn't be fully awake and alert yet. But at least i was able to recover quickly from the flu and i passed it to my dad and now he is sick. LOL! My mom got sick first then she passed the flu to me then i passed it to my dad. So far my brothes didn't catch it yet. Yesterday i had to complete my medical check up to complete the formalities of becoming Permanent Residant here in Singapore. I was applicable to apply for Singapore Citizenship, but my PR had to last for 3yrs in order for me to apply. No matter i will have the advantages soon. I went to have my blood drawn for HIV test and then do a chest x-ray for TB. I know i dun have these so pls dun get the wrong idea. I was just so disgusted by the sight of my blood in the tube. i know it's my blood but still, it just seems freaky and somewhat gross. The needle was so long too i just had to look away but i could feel the pain of the needle poking into my skin!

Well now that my mind is cleared for now, i'm thinking about what i want to do after i do my Os and graduate from secondary school. i'm thinking of either going to Millenia Institute for jc alternative or polytechnic. Aiming for either Ngee Ann or Temasek btw. I haven't really got any idea on what i want to be when i'm older. I was thinking of going into veterinary technology offered at Temasek cause of my love for animals, but i got one problem. I'm allergic to animals.....sad isn't it? (sigh)......well i will figure something out somehow. already almost have the year is gone and i have less than 5 mths for my O'level prep.....Sometimes i think about it i even worry on whether i will be able to make it. Just recalling what had happened on the release of the O'level results on 12th january, is just so scary.

i even ask myself, will i be the amongst those in tears of despair? I also think about what will happen to me and my frenz when we go our seperate ways. Sometimes the topic just comes up
and then suddenly the atmosphere is quiet. i know i shouldn't be thinking about this now but i just wonder........how much longer will the good times last?
