lost for words

two letters
one heavy word
couldn't be uttered
"NO!" screaming inside
only silence in cadence

---
ever felt trapped? People can't just push you around just because you are nice right?

is it true whatever we do we must gain something in return? even at the expense of another? If it's true; the world is sick, and it sucks. everything is superficial.

the world isn't ruled by money alone for goodness sake. everything isn't only about dollars and cents. it's much more than that.

heh, complicated huh.. never mind. the world is really sick. and silly girl is trapped in a sick world. she's lost for words. but she still has hopes, she still believes in sincerity, trust, and love. :) hugs

to my dear friends, love you, take care!

Yes, I do love you, and remember your p's & q's! *wink*

free hugs

Another free hugs video. This is from NYC. quite cool. :)

I'll give hugs for free if people don't give me the what-the-****-is-wrong-with-that-girl look :p Ok.. I'm crapping again. you should stop it girl. Alright. Don't think you can do the free hugs campaign here anyway. haha.

Dear mummy, yes, I will count piggys :p haha.. love you!

sweet dreams everyone!

dont' waste your time. doesn't make sense. :p

People get bored of my complaints
If that is not the case
I do get bored of myself

After so many tests, going through the same shit over and over again for 3 years, I really have nothing to say. Hmm... I don't even know now whether is this a good sign or bad. Getting bored of myself.. weirdo.

Much thoughts have been through my head recently; in and out, thinking about shit and stuff.

Whatever state that I'm in, I guess I'm the ultimate person to be blamed. I wouldn't have let anyone led me to this current mess if I have not consented to it right? Maybe.

I remembered a friend once told me. You can't tell yourself to stop thinking about something, because by doing so, you are actually activating that same thought that you are trying to stop. heh.. it does make some sense huh. So well, I won't ask myself to stop thinking, but, just, oh well, let it be. Whatever will be will be... let the future do the worrying. I guess. :p

For the first time in life I thought I should really just settle down, get a boyfriend, get a job that I enjoy working, earn money, pursue my interest, read all the books that I want, watch soccer again, write more, keep singing, travelling, get a house by the beach, retire young, retire rich of course haha.. Oh man.. I'm crapping the hell out of myself. shut up.

well, I do not have the privilege to complaint, but I certainly do have the liberty to crap, don't I? *wink*

If I die, I want white flowers, everything to be in white. :) thanks.

Talking about death, why do serial killers always chop people up and not melt them in a pan? Hahahhaa.. sorry, just saw Lauren Graham on The Late, Late Show, she was talking about that. (I find it very funny haha.. dunno why, maybe cos I'm just bored of studying, such a good distraction - youtube :p) I love lauren graham. In a way, I think I'm just as crappy as her. haha. I'm just an irritating girl.

Btw, do you believe in reward as in retribution? I guess I do, very much to a certain extent.

I don't like being used. f***! am I a paranoid skeptic to think that most people around me are just using me? not you people *hugs* *smiles* I'm just being a little nuts here, so just ignore me, k :) Sometimes I just feel stuck and compelled to do something which I don't really want to, but more of obligation or rather forced obligation. sucks. and the worse part of it, they try to make you feel good doing shit.

Oh heck.. I hope no one really analyse this crap I'm writing.. just writing for the sake of it. sorry, not meant to be reader-friendly. I'm so in the wrong mood right now. crap, it's exam season girl!! and you almost just died, remember?? doesn't that trigger any emergency button to save your ass??

OKAY. I'm outta here! :p gotta save my ass! Haha.

To everyone taking exams, hang in there, exams going to be over soon, GOOD LUCk and ALL THE BEST!! ** lucky stars ** for YOU! mwah!

should just sleep early.. getting a lot of sleep lately. really turning into a real piggy already haha.

4 days of exams in a row. how exciting. well, let the games begin. let's see how I fair by the end of this week, dead or alive. :p

good luck and all the best to everyone too!

thanks for all the well wishes, my dear family and friends :) hugs

love, Joanne.

weird dreams

having weird dreams...
not really scary or sweet
just very odd.

leave you in a tangled feelings
all mixed up, confused, and intertwined
reality and dreams converging into one
incapable of being judgmental

weird.

I'm getting very bitchy & crappy too

been getting this series of dreams for a week already
better stop or I'll really go nuts
haha.. am already behaving weirdly,
don't drive me crazy my dear little brain of mine

*phew*
maybe that's why I get all so sleepy during the day?
wow.. today is a wasted day.
been sleeping on and off today.. lazy pig :p

oh well.. go n sleep now. sweet dreams.
no more unusual dreams for me tonight k ;)

beautiful day

wake up to the sunrise
the birth of a new day
to a day of hope and life
the birds are cheerily chirping
the buses are busy at the start of day
people going to work
students going to school

you wonder how your day going to be
good? bad? happy? moody?
do you feel the anxiety
or the dread of daily routine
a new day has come
embrace it with joy!

everyday is a beautiful day :)

***
I know I get the dread sometimes. and sometimes I get the after-feeling of nightmare/weird dreams. afraid that it might come true. sometimes I wish to linger longer on those sweet dreams hoping that they are real :) But, it's time to wake up to reality. don't sleep till late, the morning is too beautiful to be missed. yes, it is. (although I don't get to see the sunrise everyday haha..)

take care people!

to those who are working, wish you all the best in work! ^^
to those who are studying, good luck for exams and enjoy school life! ;)
to those who always wake up late, get your a** out of your bed early! you are missing the good things in life! :p

*warm hugs*

another weird entry.. haha. ok, girl, don't say that I'm not. :p just crapping while waiting for my laundry.

Last weekend


This is my weekend home :) That's my little brother Amos.

"can I pinch your cheek?" asked Joanne jiejie
"can!" said Amos cheekily.
haha... cheeky boy!

That was the cheeky boy. :p









I manage to meet up with Wei too! :) Thanks for the lunch!

Bumped into my secondary school mates in Jonker Walk. Haha, one can always bump into someone one knows at Jonker Walk. Yes, Melaka is small, almost everyone is connected somehow to another.

And this nice lady in pink here is my dear mummy :) love you! mwah hugs! haha.. the pic was taken while mum was preparing lunch.

"aiyo, don't take picture, I need to wash these vege" nagged mummy.
"never mind la, very fast, quick, look into the camera.. [snap!:p]" Joanne mummy's girl answered.



Everyone at home is well =) i'm happy.

Good Luck Joyce! Don't be scared, stop being paranoid also! You will do just fine!
And yes, I do believe in your dreams. :) Sometimes I wished I dreamt of him too, regardless real or not, I think all of us miss him being with us. As for your other dream, haha.. I hope so too that I'll be able to bring one back to show you all someday, but of course he must treat all of you with respect :)

Weekend at home was great. simply love, joy and family haha.

Oh well, now back in school. mugging time. exam period. sucks. I don't even want to think about after exams which I even dread more. fyp resumes. here I come again to break things in lab. yes, Wei, I am very clumsy. silly girl me.

Journey

Regardless what the ending is,
it's the journey that matters most. :)

Being with you is one of the best times in life,
no matter where it leads to,
I have enjoyed the journey with you.

There are lots of things to say and do,
yet so limited time, energy and resources.

Sometimes I do not have enough courage,
sometimes there isn't any opportunity,
sometimes I do not know whom to trust,
and sometimes I'm just a little too late.

I just hope that one day,
when I look back in life,
I can proudly proclaim that,
I have thoroughly enjoyed my journey to the end of life
and that will be the best thing ever. =)

--
haha.. don't ask me why the sudden weird entry, just happen to be another random thought by the weird mind of the weird girl. what is in your head anyway? haha... I wonder does it serve any better purposes rather than crapping away all the time :p

On Love

Someone sent this through email, I just want to share it with all of you :)

~It is not the magnitude of our action that counts but the depth of love we put into it.
Mother Teresa shows us how, “Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired."

~Even a small thing like being present for others can be done with great love.

~A smile, a handshake, a word of encouragement, a phone call, a card, an embrace, a kind greeting, a gesture of support, a moment of attention, a helping hand, a present, a financial contribution, a visit---all these are little steps toward love.

~Each step is like a candle burning in the night. It does not take the darkness away, but it guides us through the darkness. When we look back after many small steps of love, we will discover that we have made a long and beautiful journey.

~To pay attention to others with the desire to make them the center and to make their interests our own is a real form of self-emptying, since to be able to receive others into our intimate inner space we must be empty. That is why listening is so difficult. It means our moving away from the center of attention and inviting others into that space.

~When someone listens to us with real concentration and expresses sincere care for our struggles and our pains, we feel that something very deep is happening to us. Slowly, fears melt away, tensions dissolve, anxieties retreat, and we discover that we carry within us something we can trust and offer as a gift to others. The simple experience of being valuable and important to someone else has a tremendous re-creative power.

love, Joanne. :)

lousy

can never do anything right, can you?

ever so clumsy, butter-fingered, silly girl.
cracked a beaker today,
broke the chamber's glass & one of the plastic-stands,
not to mention one of the cell flasks got contaminated
& the constant messy lab work
sigh... and my scaffolds are torn

It's more than lab work that I'm lousy
it's everything

哑巴心声的女孩。。
女孩的愿望很简单

我要做个开心的好人 能吗?

只要自己觉得心中无愧就好了

无论别人怎么推猜及判断自己

过好自己那关就够了

小小女孩怎么顾得了那么多

仅有一双小小手掌 小小心胸

能做得就只有这么一点点

尽力就好 好好努力实现自己的愿望。


若能从来,我愿做个哑巴女孩吗?

一个哑巴女孩 因口出祸的机率是零

或许这样比较好

正所谓∶祸从口出,病从口入。


但,唯有一个很大的遗憾
永远再也不能歌唱了。

哑巴心声女孩 千言万语
完全没有字语足够形容心中的话
藏在心底的实话 永远都锁在心中的宝库


I hope that I don't fail as bad as a person, compared to my lab work.

~lousy

I'm ok people, really :) I'm just writing crap. good luck in exams! study hard!

致您 =)

今日不如往昔的日子
人随着岁月的成长渐渐的改变

你我的交情一直在改变

不断改善吗?还是恶劣?

为何厌倦?为何欢喜?

时间能冲淡一切

光阴也能证明一切的保存期

到底你我的交情期限能保留多久

往日的知己 今日已慢慢变成陌生
今日的知己 来日还会在人生道路上交叉吗?

还是也会随着岁月而流 一去不回

朋友只是人生的偶遇吗?

何谓天长地久 友谊万岁

是神话还是实事

谁也无法告知未来
但愿彼此的友情永不朽

感恩所拥有的一切 所有的朋友

一言难尽。

又是寂寞的季节。多少有些感触。毕竟人类是集体生活的万物之灵。鸟儿也不例外。

突然好想回家。小小游子思乡的日子很郁闷。

独自在异乡深造,虽有朋友在旁,毕竟还是没有知音的对象诉苦,谈心。

有时真厌倦自己在做的事情。真的是没有选择中的选择吗?为何人往往就是糊糊涂涂,匆匆忙忙的过人生?

写作已成为我唯一倾诉的方法。虽然华文不好,但是得努力练习。:)

心里有很多的感触。一言难尽。

好想永远保留着美好回忆
好想追求自己的梦想

好想勇敢的踏出这影形圈套

不想再受多种无理规矩约束

不想为其他人而生存

好想掌握自己的命运,能吗?

我可有这个本事?

有时真是难以置信,
到底自己最想要的是什么。

conversation during dinner

me: I think I want to go home next weekend
A1: are you crazy?
me: why? :p
A1: crazy lah

few minutes later...
me: eh, I think I want to go home next weekend *smiles*
A2: I want to shit
me: hey..
A2 not listening again..

Haha.. such dull conversations and such helpful friends! Anyway, I think I am going home next weekend. I hope. *fingers crossed* Yes, I know am crazy, heck, everyone is crazy in NUS. *bluek :p* Just back for the weekend what... go home la girl *wink* it will do me all good and no bad. haha... I need all the love and care and hugs and kisses and whatever shit from home!! *grins* I'll be well-charged and all ready for "the battles"!! haha.. not too soon girl, don't come back from home and cry! If I'm not crazy I do not know what I am.

tell me I'm sane.

Anyway on a more serious note, seems like malaysia is going through some rough shit. I hope everything's ok back home... :) and what about the big race issue all of a sudden? We are all Malaysians, bangsa Malaysia, regardless of race, color and religion. What the f*** about inequality, we have lived with that for almost 50 years and all of a sudden it is a big hoo ha!

OK, one last update. Americans voted for a change. Democrats won on House of representatives.

apakah batasan balasan?

berbuat baik dibalas baik?
berbuat jahat dibalas jahat?

Kadang-kala terasanya ketidak-adilan
walaupun berbuat baik bukan semata untuk balasannya
tetapi lebih daripada keikhlasan hati dan jiwa

adakah bodoh untuk membiarkan diri dipergunakan walaupun menyedarinya?
adakah bodoh untuk mengorbankan diri untuk kebahagiaan lain?
adakah bodoh untuk memberi peluang kepada diri dan orang lain?

Apakah batasan untuk pertolongan?

*senyuman* walaupun sering digelar budak bodoh, tetapi selalu memberitahu diriku, biar bodoh, tidak angkuh; biar gembira, tidak resah; biar cinta, tidak benci.

Sering menanya diri soalan-soalan yang tidak terjawab dan mengelirukan. Ada kala hampirnya hilang harapan akan banyak peristiwa, namun, selalu cuba meyakinkan diri bahawa dunia ini tiada yang tidak boleh diatasi. Moga-moga. **

Just felt that I should practice my Malay language :)

It's the beginning...

of a long marathon
a test of endurance
a test of concentration

of time where there is no time allowance to fall sick & get distracted by external forces..

of test of faith & trust
---

clear your head.. don't confused yourself iced-coffee with iced tea anymore, or petri dish with its cover.. silly girl me.

Dear me, you will be all right =) like you've always been able to pull through struggles, this time round will not be any different too.

Although not all things can turn out the way we want it to be, but we all do our best to achieve what we can, the rest is beyond our limits. *wink* Some things are not meant to be, do not dwell and just move on with the stream of life. Shit happens, people come & leave.. every time some things happen, we are a changed person and we all learn from each encounter/change. We should be grateful of all things, don't we? :)

*warm hugs*

To everyone, good luck with studies or work! No matter what, things will always turn out fine by the end of the day. I believe they do. *smiles*

Long and tired week

Yeah.. indeed it is.

I am tired, feeling little sick, getting rather blurr & muddle headed; but fortunately, I am not in a bad mood regardless the tiredness & pressure I'm getting from everywhere.

wtf right? I can't change things which are external.. beyond the control of my small palms. Doing my best to keep myself sane & alive is already a huge task, I have no time to get into a bad mood haha.. yeah right.

Anyway, am really tired now.. my eyes are closing.

Goodnight everyone and happy birthday Aaron! (sorry for the messed-up haha..)

May you be blessed

Thanks girl... =)

This is dedicated to everyone: May you be blessed. *warm hugs*

No matter what shit you are in, there is always goodness somewhere. There is. *smiles* It doesn't require the change of mind, more of change of heart. :) Everyone can do it and you'll be a happy person.

love,
Joanne.
