If you had to divide your life up into chapters,...
A few weeks ago, I tried texting a friend, but she gave me a wrong number, and I ended up texting some other girl who’d just graduated from UCSD.
And its kinda cool because we don’t know each other’s names or anything about each other. But we still asked each other really personal questions. Like who we’d take to a deserted island and stuff like that.
This was a...
RIP Charlie Harper.
And thank God for fall TV show premieres this week.
Ago.
Facebook start doing this thing where it shows statuses I posted a year, and even two years ago.
And its so weird seeing them and looking back on them.
I can’t believe its been so long since those things happened. I can’t believe I was actually friends with some of those people and actually posted statuses about them. I can’t believe that I thought everyone on Facebook gave a shit about my...
Alone.
For the last 18 years of my life, I’ve woken up in my home, gone to school for the entire day, and then come back home and spent the rest of the day with my family.
There was never any time in my schedule for actually being alone. Actually, I don’t think we really even knew what being alone meant. Alone would be sitting at home on a weekend finishing homework, or being the only...

People.
Sooo like 9238492384 of my friends on Facebook, I’m starting college this week. And its finally starting to hit me that I won’t be going back to high school and I won’t be seeing everyone again any time soon.
And everyone says that I’ll “get used to it” and “make new friends” and all that, and I’m sure I will. Its not like good schools and...

Goodbye.
How are you supposed to deal with people leaving when no matter how much we promise to stay in touch, we all know it won’t be the same. Or when you know you won’t ever find anyone who’ll be similar, but are left with higher standards.
How do you deal with the fact that things as little as trains and restaurants will constantly remind you that “memory” is strictly...

Strangers.
Soo today I was heading home from downtown around 12:30am, and was waiting to get on the MRT. I had no clue what time the last train left, and there were only two or three other people waiting for the train. And so I sat waiting for a few minutes, but after a while, I realized that I wasn’t sure if another train would come.
So I turned to the guy next to me, and asked if he knew...

Second Semester Senior.
Second semester of senior year is so different than any of my 25 semesters of school. The last 13 years of school have mostly all been pretty consistent. In fact, some of them kinda just meld together in my mind.
Where people will do and say the same things over and over again, and relationships form and break, and people move and leave, and shit happens, and in general, life goes on.
The thing...
Dear _________,

Day 7: Someone who has made your life worth living...
I Know I could’ve written about my family for this one. But I chose not to because to me, its the responsibility of family to make each other’s lives worth living, because fate or destiny or God puts you with that group of people, and all you can do is make the best of it.
With friends though, you choose who you spend time with and who you trust and who you talk to. I know that as a...
Forever.
Over the last four years, I’ve had people come and go in my life, like I’m pretty sure everyone in high school has.
There’ve obviously been people I was closer to than others. And every so often, I end up with people in my life who I think are absolutely perfect. Sometimes as best friends, sometimes as girlfriends, sometimes as just skype-friends.
They’re always the...

Day 5: Something I hope to do in my life
Spend a whole day in an all-you-can-eat buffet
Fly around on a law chair tied to helium balloons
Keep an exotic animal like an baboon or snow leopard or giraffe as a pet
Have a dish named after me.
Watch all six Star Wars movies in one day
Run a marathon
Have someone write a post about me on GMH

Day 4: Something you have to forgive someone for.
There is really nothing anybody HAS to forgive someone for, other than maybe parents. Because there’s always another option when it comes to friends.
Off the top of my head, I can only think of one person I can’t forgive. Generally, though, I let a lot of shit slide, because its not worth holding grudges.

Day 3: Something I have to forgive myself for
What does HAVING to forgive yourself mean? What happens if you DON’T forgive yourself for something?
I guess if its asking about regrets or stupid things I’ve done, it probably is/will be not trying my hardest in high school.
Like right now, I’m perfectly happy with my life and I’m content with my grades and the colleges I can go to. But I know that if I actually did my...
Day 2: Something I love about myself
I think the thing that I love the most about myself is that I don’t usually worry about things. I feel like I’m having a lot more fun that some of the people around me who are always worrying about college or the future or grades or impressing people.
Yes- There definitely are some things and people I really care about that I take really seriously. But for the most part, I...
Day 1: Something you hate about yourself.
Its a kinda weird way to start a 30 day challenge. But I think the thing I hate most about myself is that I get attached to people + things easily and become dependent.
I get attached to people really easily and then I end up feeling obliged to be nice and put effort and time into a friendship that I know won’t work. I guess its been slightly better this year because I’ve found a few...

Countdown.
You know that board outside the caf that says the number of weeks till graduation? It lied- Its actually 14 weeks. Not 33.
Its so hard not to look at things differently when there’s a time limit on everything.
Words like “soon,” “later,” and “eventually” become closer synonyms to “That probably won’t happen,” instead of “I’m...
Myself in 6 words.
Some of my friends in AP lit have to do this project where they describe themselves or their life or something of the sort in 6 words.
If I had to describe myself in six words, it’d either be:
“Experiences shape me: I’m an apeirogon”
or
“My life’s music has no staves”
I’m kinda really curious what other people put for this. Its kinda weird finding such few words that...

Interim.
1in·ter·im noun- An interim is a temporary pause in a line of succession or event.
I’m pretty sure that almost nobody at school knows that’s what interim actually means. But those nine days were absolutely amazing, and I actually needed time like that.
We’ve only been in school for a month after Christmas, but seeing the same teachers every other day and being served the same food at lunch every...

Silence.
I’m pretty sure most people are uncomfortable with silences. That’s why we have the whole “awkward silence/gay baby” thing, and that’s why lots of people sleep with music on.
Whenever I have a conversation with someone, the way I talk changes depending on how comfortable I am with that person. And I guess its the same for the way I don’t talk. There are a few...

Pictures.
I lost my camera yesterday. Well, not exactly lost. I know for a fact that its at the bottom of the Bedok Reservoir.
Other than the fact that I lost a pretty expensive camera that was also fish-proof and snowman-proof, a bunch of really cool pictures sunk to the bottom of the lake thing with my camera: I had pictures from my Sentosa man-date with Ryan, roller blading with Soph, Ice Skating with...

Rain.
Today in Spanish, Mr. Normal noticed it was raining, and he stopped what he was doing and told us to look out the window.
I have no clue what the hell he was doing, but whenever I’m in school and see cloudy skies and the light but consistent rain, I think of Oregon. Actually, I think about Mrs. Eicher’s first grade class. I don’t know why though- its not like it rained more...
Uncertainty.
If you know me, you’ll know that I absolutely hate not knowing things. Whether its the answer to a math problem or where we’re going when we hang out, I cannot stand it. I guess it kinda goes with me not believing in the future, because in a way, “not knowing” is the future.
And now as the last semester of school is about to start, it seems like Jesus or the Buddha or...

2010-2011
I remember writing last year about how I don’t believe in New Years resolutions, because theres nothing special about New Years, and that its just another day on calendars. And I still think its overrated, but I also think that its really cool to have an excuse to kinda just stop and think about the past and the future.
Past- 2010

I take that back. I fucking love my drunken escapades with Ryan.
Ryan (at 1:30am) yo dude I’m back in town
Me: Are you doing anything right now?
Ryan: Nope. Wanna do something?
Me: The usual?
Two days- two 7/11 adventures, one basket, one island, two bottles of King Roberts.
Man dates <3
I absolutely love how even though we don’t talk, nothing changes between us.
