-DOWN-

elaine on Mar-31-2008

I had an exam early this morning. Do you guys know the feeling of going completely disappointed over yourself and really upset over things? You know you have studied hard for it, the questions were easy, you know you have the answers in your head, but out of being panic, you totally blanked out? let me spell it out, B-L-A-N-K-E-D out.. well that’s what happened to me this morning, I am really upset of myself. After the exam, was supposed to meet my group to practice for tomorrow’s exam presentation, and I was supposed to finish up my report today. But what happened in the exam really spoiled my mood. I went back to the room, and broke down. Really had a bad emotional breakdown.. think these few weeks has totally overwhelmed me..physically and especially emotionally… I think I’m gonna fail this paper big time. Made me think of me, disappointing people around me who cares… especially my family… for now.. I’m lost…

Listen to the song.. for any of you who are mentally down, listen to this song… it keeps you going… The singer sounds so sad, lets you know that you’re not the only one in a bad condition, there are other people in worse conditions. Example is this singer. ok I made a joke. HA-HA

When you were here before
Couldn’t look you in the eye
You’re just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You’re so fucking special
But I ‘m a creep
I ‘m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here

I don’t care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I’m not around
You’re so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I’m a creep
I’m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here

She’s running out again
She’s running out
She run, run, run run
Run

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You’re so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I’m a creep
I’m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?

I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here

It’s supposed to be Spring season now but I don’t know what’s up with the weird weather.. It has been snowing for the past few days… the first few days were terrible… super duper heavy snow… sh*t. These few days have been crazy.. I never thought I would use the term ‘jam-packed’ on myself.. but hey…. Am bloody jam-packed la wei! ( slang by Adamz & Reynie).. I am laughing right now… I don’t know why… I noticed its because I am OVER-STRESSED that I am laughing everything off.. Had few exams…presentations….and I am to finish up on few reports… and next week is EXAM WEEK. sigh… Elaine..Chill… huhuhuhuhuhuhu

Instant Noodles!

elaine on Mar-23-2008

What do you do when you eat the same food every week? Every week you see the same menu..Everyday of the week you would somehow have a general idea of what you’re gonna eat for the day.. I am already missing the food back home.. and the condition I’m going through here makes me miss home food MORE! I need sabahan food badly.. like seriously….

So what I normally do here.. is when I really don’t feel like having the food provided here.. I would eat instant noodles in the room… Maggi never tasted so good.. lolz…. and do you guys know how sardines actually taste so nice? LOLZ… back in Sabah I would only eat sardine like once in few months’ time…that is if there’s no other food to eat at home.. and I would only eat a bit of it cause it’s very salty.. over salty… but since I’ve been here.. sardines never tasted so good… huhuhuhu

Anyway… I’m sticking to instant noodles… and my Dearest sister Cindy… apart from these 2 noodles I am about to post here… the other things that I would need from you.. I will email or sms you ok? hehehehe dun worry… I will remember your good deeds ok sister dearest.. lolz… will get you something nice here… muaks…

Oh people… there’s this one Korean noodle here.. it’s very nice…VERY NICE! Maggi, IndoMee semua pun kalah! :) there are korean shops in KK right? try try try this one yea.. recommended by JiHee and has fallen in love with it ever since! (sister dearest.. if.. IF..IF it’s not troublesome..can u find this noodle in kk? It could be cheaper? :P )

The trouble with love is..

elaine on Mar-21-2008

Been in and out of love so many times… whenever u get into a new relationship… you want things to be better…better than before.. so you give your best so that your other half will get the best.. you tend not to think about the past,not to compare.. But what happens if.. the person you are with now, did something that is reminding you of what happened before? things that you are scared of.. hm.. just for thoughts…don’t want trouble anymore…so here it is people… just enjoy the song….The Trouble With Love is..

Love can be a many splendid thing
Has another joy you bring
A dozen roses
Diamond rings
Dreams for sale
And fairy tales
It’ll make you hear a symphony
And you’ll just want the world to see
But like a drunk that makes you blind
It’ll fool you every time

The trouble with love is
It can tear you up inside
Make your heart believe a lie

Gets stronger then your pride
The trouble with love is
It doesn’t care how fast you fall
And you can’t refuse the call
See you’ve got no say at all

Now I was just a once a fool it’s true
I played the game by all the rules
But now my world’s a deeper blue
I’m sadder but I’m wiser too
I swore I’d never love again
I swore my heart would never mend
Said love wasn’t worth the pain
But then I hear it call my name

The trouble with love is
It can tear you up inside
Make your heart believe a lie

Gets stronger then your pride
The trouble with love is
It doesn’t care how fast you fall
And you can’t refuse the call
See you’ve got no say at all

Every time I turn around
I think I’ve got it all
My heart keeps callin
And I keep on fallin
Over and over again
This set story always ends the same
Me standin in the pouring rain
It seems no matter what I do
It tears my heart in two

The trouble with love is (the trouble with love)
It can tear you up inside (it can tear you up in side)
Make your heart believe a lie (Make your heart believe a lie)
Gets stronger then your pride
(The trouble with love is) See your heart its in your soul
(It doesn’t care how fast you fall) You wont remember control (?)
(And you can’t refuse the call)
See you’ve got no say at all
The trouble with love is (Oooo….ya)
It can tear you up inside
Make your heart believe a lie (the trouble with love..)

HAPPY EASTER!

elaine on Mar-21-2008

Taking this chance to wish everybody a Happy Easter… Especially to my family and friends back home… I got up today feeling blue because of a thousand reasons…part of it receiving a call from daddy… and they just got back from church for Good Friday.. sigh.. I am here and yet there’s no masses being held here….hmmm…This Easter I wont be able to go for church…will be stuck in school doing my individual reports and group project… so much for Easter Break.. Hmmm

Waking up….JiHee told me that it’s snowing AGAIN…I looked outside the window, snow is falling… No wonder I got up in the middle of the night…Had a nosebleed again.. and had to wear more clothes…I always wished for White Christmases.. but after seeing so much snow… I don’t know if i actually adore snow that much anymore… hmm..

Thanks Dad for calling in the morning… It made me feel better… Love everybody back home..muaks… HAPPY EASTER!

Bleeding Love..

elaine on Mar-19-2008

Was sitting at the bar the other night,having some drinks to get me to sleep…whilst doing nothing.. this song came up since the night was still early… what caught my attention was her voice and the lyrics of the song.. it made me turn around to look at the t.v screen..Leona Lewis..this babe’s gorgeous and she’s only 22…I read some articles on her..seems that she won the X-factor or something…n is mentored by Simon Cowell.. so she must be good…knowing the fact that Mr Cowell is always so hard with his criticism. I couldn’t post up the original Video here.. but found her performance on my favorite tv show..The Oprah Winfrey show…hehehehe…Enjoy the lyrics… I love the song… meaningful…“Bleeding Love”

Closed off from love
I didn’t need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you’re frozen


But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground
Found something true
And everyone’s looking round
Thinking I’m going crazy

But I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothings greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I’m going crazy, maybe, maybe

But I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

And it’s draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I’ll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see

I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love

Happy Birthday..

elaine on Mar-16-2008

Although it’s still the 16th here.. but I know back in KK it’s already the 17th of march.. Birthdays are supposed to be celebrated…but for this case.. It’s a little bit different… I would like to wish my late best friend, Azlan..a Happy Birthday… even though he’s not around anymore… but memories of him will stay with me..forever….

One of my regrets in life for now is that losing him as a friend… I would think and think.. why did we ever go through that argument? that fight? because of something that’s not worth it? totally not worth it? Why didn’t we as friends, fought for our rights to remain as friends? why? Getting the news of his passing really got to me… It happened about a month before I left kk… I told myself that I would visit his grave before I came here… but I couldn’t get myself into doing it… I guess I still couldn’t accept the fact by then… When I get back to KK… I would visit him then…

On this special day… It made me think of our happy times together… us friends hanging out together… During the Stamford College days… Wan(azlan), Pare(francis) & I used to hang out like every single day… we would go play pool after class with the others like Zhawn, Elvin, Marina, Azrul..just to name a few.. Then the 3 of us would head back to Wan’s house… and I would just watch him and Pare play NBA… for HOURS… and when I requested for other games to be played.. they would just ignore me,even if I threw a tantrum..lolz.. sheesh… and I remember us hanging out in his room.. then his air con broke down… we had nowhere to go..so we still gila2 bodoh2 stayed in his room..all sweating2.. hahahaha sigh.. those were the days…

The famous description of me,made by Wan was.. ‘ hey, you’re a guy stuck in a girl’s body’ … He would tell everybody this…I can never forget this sentence… Deeply missing you… You will forever remain within me… R.I.P…..

wan
took this from his FS.. I noticed that I deleted pictures of him in my phone ever since the argument happened… sigh.. Never remembered him with this look.. seemed so weird..

azlan2
This is how I remember him as…with the long hair that I would always tease on

pare
In Wan’s room, Pare’s playing NBA and I was just there bored..we were waiting for Wan to come back if I’m not mistaken..

francis & i
Silly Pare & I. during our ‘reunion-get-together’…
