Dead End


I am feeling so lost and small now. From where i am standing i can make out what is lying far ahead of me. A dead end. And all of a sudden, i feel so weak and drained. Should i continue walking? Or should i stop here and look for another exit which, by no stretch of the imagination, is in sight? There is no turning back now! I am stuck at where i am standing, and there is no way i can wriggle out of it. I watch chances slipping through my fingers with a sinking heart, feeling so helpless. Or maybe things are not as bad as they appear to be? Maybe everything before me is just an illusion? Maybe it isn't a dead end? Maybe it is an exit to the real world out there instead? And everytime i smile now i betray my inner self. There are too many things flashing through my mind, too many to even make sense out of any. Day by day, i shrink! One day i might just disappear into nothingness.

every proble in this entire world has its way out.Its just a matter of whether to choose project A or B.you know what Ven? you must get over whatever you are feeling right now.To me, perhaps you are too sensitive about the things you see and hear,and this can really break you down half way.And you know it, this is very destructive. All m saying, just keep it up, dude. Chase it, chase it and chase it til you get it, and we'll be proud of you!

"Everytime I smile, I betray my innerself" sounds familiar to me!

Sigh...Ven, the last time I talked to you, I could sense that you were not feeling alright. I was about to ask you what was wrong, too, but then you said you gotta go, so...

Well, the downs of life are trying to swallow you up now, and this is making you veiw things pessimistically. Don't resort to another exit coz i'm sure it is not the place you want to go. Continue walking. Chances are not slipping through your fingers. If you put a deeper thought into it, they are actually rushing toward your fingers. They just stopped for a moment during pitfalls, and after you've wiped out those pitfalls, they will flow as smoothly as water toward you. Things are not as bad as they appear to be, and it's not the dead end, believe me. Come on! Obstacles appear not to make you hunker down; they appear to make you stronger. Chase your dream and follow your heart. I know you can do it.

P.M.>>I wish I could do that too, P.M. :( Well, just give myself a smile then, cuz at least a fake smile can somehow makes me feel better, can't it?

Ven>> know wat Ven??? My very first impression from ur blog is ur profile, intelligent, but kinda emotional sometimes, and if you go and read my profile, you'll get wat I mean :) Rosy should have added me in as a too sensitive insect :P

don't think about those things too much. chances slipped through our hands but what we can do now is not to regret but to not let that happened again. of course, each and everyday we must have sth to achieve, sth to look towards to and when there is nothing there, we feel like our lives are pretty much no meaning. we don't cheer up and stay at that emotional moment, we will feel worse and it gets worse every second we live.

To PM: Thanks, PM! Thanks for believing in me even if sometimes i doubt i can go on. Chasing my dream? I have been chasing my dream, and guess i have been far from the starting the starting point now, but then i am standing at a crossroad, not knowing what path to take...

To BarBEE: So my profile was kinda impressive? :-) Right, i am kinda emotional sometimes, but not as emotional as you are, i think!

To Bro REX: I know that i should not let all these emotions stand in my way, but like what you have said, i am having nothing to look forward to now. So it kinda makes me feel worthless.

A stranger within YOU

Has it ever occurred to you that there is actually a stranger lurking somewhere inside you? Maybe it sounds really mental and freaking weird here. But I really can’t help brooding over this. And the more I think of it, the more it becomes crystal clear it is indeed true that a stranger is actually living my life, a stranger who has eaten up half of my real “self”, shrouding me with a totally new cover to form a person I hardly recognize. There are times when I feel really happy, but why in God’s name do I look far from happy? It is at this point that people view me in a rather negative light. Even so, the last thing I ever wish to do is, of course, to blame them. I am more than sure that they will never be able to understand me. And then there are other times when I wish more than anything to become very close to certain people. However, my attitudes towards them betray me. Nothing but coldness always hangs in the air in their presence, much to my perplexity. I remember being approa

HAPPY St. Valentine's Day!

Take a careful look around you! There might be someone in the crowd there that wishes more than anything to be noticed by you, someone that you probably knows very well but has always been taken for granted, someone that has always been standing there in your doorway, someone that has always been ready to wipe your tears, and someone that has probably shed so many tears for you without your knowledge. Such a someone deserves attention too! Happy St. Valentine's Day! Make the best out of today!

The Good Old Time (2003)

I got this pic from Mov's facebook profile. Oh man!!! This pic is almost as old as our friendship. We were small and innocent and pretty carefree back then. If i am not mistaken, the pic was taken during our field trip to the Science Center, and those so many energetic young faces you are staring at were scholars from most of the ASEAN countries. Nostalgic indeed!!! Too bad that we have lost touch for quite some time now, and i have no idea what most of them are up to now. Loads of thanks to Mov, without whom i would not have had a chance to get hold of this priceless pic. At least in those many years ahead, i have got a pic of everyone smiling at hand, to which i can always refer for recalling sake.
