thanks:

'm bad at goodbyes, honestly.
i've never given my family a proper send off.
maybe its because of how my parents treated me, especially my mom.
she's never been there when i needed her.
thus, i've always given a fake facade to them, showing them that 'm strong without them.


well, i hope you people have a great time in genting. have a safe trip (:

I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else
I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself
I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart

been doing some thinking these days.
perhaps its better that we go our own ways.
lets not kid ourselves, its been a long one year.
is it worth it? where do you want this to go?


i meant it when i said things aren't gonna be the same.
the past that we had, the moments we shared; will never be the same.
we both have changed. so what's in it for us?

"ever wonder how a strong colour, black; could fade away.
no matter how big a front you put, hurt could still get to you.
the stone-hearted would soften out and even the cold-hearted would feel the warmth.
so let me give you a full embrace."

in 3 weeks, i will start on a new chapter in life.

its not an easy decision.
being there for 9 months, i've grown accustomed to the environment.
people i know; some bad, mostly good.

part of my decision to leave is largely due to the inefficient retail operations team.
i actually have plans to continue there upon graduation.
but with the huge duration from now til graduation, i feel i couldn't wait any longer.

though i'm ready to submit my notice of resignation, i''m still indecisive about my decision.
am i making the right choice? have i really thought it over?
all these questions play around in my head.


one question makes me think twice on staying..

over the weekend, there was a huge atmosphere at home.
reason being, man utd was playing liverpool away.
my parents, and yours truly, are liverpooL fans; with my elder brother supporting man utd.

as we all in the sporting world know, well at least soccer, man utd and liverpool are arch rivals going beyond the 90s. thus, this was a much-anticipated match.
well, catching the game wasn't a bother, what bothered me was what happened AFTER the game.


i now believe that man utd fans, and current-manager alike, are so full of themselves.
so much that they can NEVER accept defeat.
they blame everyone EXCEPT their own poor performance.


firstly, like EVERY man utd fan, my brother put on the much-loved man utd jersey while watching the game.
next, he screamed to the teevee, as though either the referee, manager or even the players could hear him.
and lastly, like every man utd fan watching this game, they all left at the 90th minute.

well, i could understand his love and appreciation of the game, donning on the jersey and shouted at the "players". we all knew that he had the traits of a soccer manager *rolleyes*



but what i couldn't understand is the inability to admit defeat.
my brother's "post-match statement" was that the referee was sucky.

come on, everyone makes mistakes. even referees.
so okay, the referee made a few bad calls, all referee does. we all make mistakes, dont we?
what angered me was that he was going on and on about the calls the referee made.
so what? you were actually critic-ing at the referee the entire 90minutes?


i have to admit i didnt believe that liverpool would win the game.
but what i believe is that liverpool are going to stop their losing streak, and who knows this is the game that would flare them up.
looking at the lineup, i still rated them as the second best team, why?
i dunno, but i know one thing; the master tactictian benitez has something up his sleeves.
and that person gave us the win. all hail benitez!

so man utd fans, stop whining(yes, whining; like a girl) that you were the better team but lost because of the few bad calls by the referee.


a few bad calls wont make you lose 2 -0.

wanted to blog about events this past month but blogger fucked it up for me.
so, just a song i'm into now. meaningful to me(:

the fray - you found me


isaac slade, the voice behind the fray said: -

“You Found Me is a tough song for me. Its about the disappointment, the heart ache, the let down that comes with life.

Sometimes you’re let down, sometimes you’re the one who lets someone else down.
It gets hard to know who you can trust, who you can count on.

This song came out of a tough time, and I’m still right in the thick of it. There’s some difficult circumstances my family and friends have been going through over the past year or so and can be overwhelming. It wears on me.

It demands so much of my faith to keep believing, keep hoping in the unseen.

Sometimes the tunnel has a light at the end, but usually they just look black as night.

This song is about that feeling, and the hope that I still have, buried deep in my chest.”

no matter how much it sucks, i'm still gonna persevere. i know its for my own good.

god, a little bit of help down here please?
