Mind vs Heart

And so the great battle begins. Made some decisions that will affect both my mind and heart in opposite manners. My mind being that I agree with its ideas and have carried them out to some extent, and my heart being that I have decided to put it through a little more. But I'll pull through. It's worth it.

Just realised how fast times really flies, kinda like when you want time to pass quick it moves so slowly, and when you want it to be slow, it whizzes past like a plane. And so my chant for today is:

One year 27 days to ORD LOH!! ^_^

Making Headway

Finally, things are getting a tad bit better for me and I'm starting to reduce my personal stress levels. Which is a good thing, really. Can't take much more, really, I can't.
All this wouldn't be possible without the compromising and understanding of my dearest...

Dear, just want you to know I notice and appreciate every little thing you're doing to help us both get back to the way we used to be. Thanks so much and I will do my part too..

Just realised that I've been writing non-stop about my relationship and personal problems throughout this blog so I think I should really start writing about other more interesting stuff..

So then, I was listening to William Hung - Inspiration LP and I realised... what a god damn horrible singer he is!! But, credit to him for his courage and shameless attitude to actually agree to produce such a CD... one which would undoubtedly harm so many people and affect numerous societies throughout time...

The real problem I have with Willy Hung is that he is a bloody honkie, and we share the same bloody first name. How the hell did he end up with such a great name and turn out to be such a total puss? So therein lies my depressing story...
In my office at camp, there is only one William: Me. And guess who's the only honkie in the office: you got it, Me. And who's the most popular guy on TV now (arguably)?: William Hung. So why don't you put one and one together and figure out what you get ...
So the phone rings, and someone shouts out for my officer to answer the phone. He's not in so I simply say that he isn't in. Then the caller, who happens to be my dear's daddy, asks for William.
Take the wildest guess what the officer answering the phone said out loud... "Is there a William here..?? Yes, in fact we have William Hung from Hong Kong right here ..."
There, I said it. Blah. William + honkie = Me / William Hung.

What an ideal way to end my working week at the office. Becoming the butt of all local poor-office-humour.

If true love isn't enough, then what is?

It's really been one helluva week for me, and it isn't even over yet. Extreme emotions twice in 3 days, and in between simply little nice stuff which obviously led me on to believe the sun had come out to shine upon me, only for the darkest clouds to set the whole sky overcast once again. What a bluff.

Did some right things and some wrong, and lay down more or less of an ultimatum regarding my so-far-lasting-19months-and-27days relationship. I guess this is what is commonly known as "what will be your choice when push comes to shove". For me, all I care is that it's hit the limit already and I will not let it go any further. Any further means I go down. And I won't stop going down. So I have no choice but to lay down this painful yet the-only-effective ultimatum in order to preserve myself and my relationship and my sanity.

Ever had those feelings that someone, just one person, could simply ruin any damn thing you ever did or had? Like a jinx, just a hundred times worse. Yea, that's what I've discovered, to my great horror. Kinda like having a black cat walk past you 50 times in 2 hours or having no choice but to walk below 100 ladders in order to get from point A to point B. Yes, that is what I mean. Nothing but total destruction. Destruction of everything you ever had or did.

Would You stand by simply just watching it happen and do nothing to protect the one thing that matters most to you?

I wouldn't.

I didn't.

And here my nightmare begins.

And it hasn't ended since.

But if one thing is for sure, it is that I will not give in, I will not succumb, I will not lose.

I don't lose.

Not anymore.

Heaven Knows


She's always on my mind,
from the time i wake up
'till i close my eyes
she's everywhere i go
she's all i know

'Though she's so far away
it's just keeps getting stronger
every day
and even now she's gone
i'm still holding on

So tell me where do i start
'cause it's breaking my heart
don't wanna let her go

Maybe my love will come back some day
only heaven knows
and maybe our hearts will find their way
only heaven knows
and all i can do is hope and pray
'cause heaven knows

My friends keep telling me
that if you really love her
you've gotta set her free
and if she returns in kind
i'll know she's mine

So tell me where do i start
'cause it's breaking my heart
don't wanna let her go

Maybe my love will come back some day
only heaven knows
and maybe our hearts will find their way
only heaven knows
and all i can do is hope and pray
'cause heaven knows

Why i live in despair
'cause while awake or dreaming
i know she's never there
and all these time i act so brave
i'm shaking inside
why does it hurt me so...

Maybe my love will come back some day
only heaven knows
and maybe our hearts will find their way
only heaven knows
and all i can do is hope and pray
'cause heaven knows

heaven knows...


What a superb song, pretty much what I want to say... I think this is a wonderful song!! My fate lies in Heaven. How true. Sigh..

Prevention is better than cure

So there, what I said in an earlier entry was totally right. I don't like weekends for it brings me trouble. Brings me a whole lot of unnecessary trouble and bullshit. Some of it is my fault, but some isn't within my control.

Once again, a weekend with so much mixed emotions. One day starting on the wrong note and ending on the right note. Another day starting on the right note and ending on the wrong one. I honestly don't know what the hell is going on.

As of right now, thoughts are swirling in my mind, not knowing what to do, how to do or even to do or not. I don't know anything; everything is so blur and opaque now. Nothing, absolutely nothing is clear to my soul nowadays. Everything comes with a hidden agenda, an intrinsic value to it. It may be bad, it may be good, but I still don't like shadowy things.

Today's the 18th, and 2 days away from something I made to be my D-Day. Or rather, it's now officially the 19th, 1 day away to my D-Day. D meaning Decision.

Can't help but keep thinking of the future, and the promise the future holds. I don't even know it the near future can be realised and yet here I am thinking of the distant future. Who the hell am I trying to kid.

Potential, Promise, Hope, Motivation - All the words associated with the future I envision, in my mind at least. With the Potential comes the Promise. The Potential of success, the Promise of endless happiness and infinite joy. All these come with the Hope that is fuelled by Motivation, right from the center of the heart, where everything that matters suddenly becomes so humongous and universal. That's the source of all this problem and confusion and every-other-emotion.

The heart is the organ which keeps our blood pumping, keeping our body alive and basically acts as an engine for the entire system. It is undoubtedly the most important organ; without it, perpetually nobody can survive. When the heart feels down and hurt, it wouldn't perform its duties as well. For instance, when someone gets shot in the heart, the bullet injures it and renders it incapable of continuing service to the rest of the system. Similarly, when the heart is wounded, albeit by emotional means and not physical impact, it still hurts and has the same effect - it makes the heart stop working and causes other inter-dependent systems degenerate and fail.

And that is precisely what is going on with me. No, I didn't get a bullet in my heart, but it sure as hell feels like one. But it's a bullet than comes and goes, a bullet which can dislodge itself from the center of my heart, go for a long ride around wherever and suddenly come crashing back into my heart all over again. It is a very irritating bullet.

And the name of this bullet is Emotion. This is the Emotion Bullet. To everyone : Beware. This is a very deadly yet strengthening bullet. Because it has caused me to perish inside many times in 3 weeks, and yet, it has also revived and strengthened me with the same frequency. Damn you and thank you.

As such you can see the disparity of my thoughts, the wavering stability, the indecisive certainty. I know what must be done, and yet I don't. I am lost in the wild, yet I don't need guidance. Decisions don't come to me in yes and no anymore. Rather, they package as if yes, then what next and if no, what will follow. As such, decisions have much greater implications and inherent meanings.

My mental capacity to take all these in has been drained, and next to follow will be my emotional capacity. I have decidely gone crazy from this whole episode, and I fear that next to follow will be an emotional death, one where revival is impossible. Maybe it would be fun to be a couch potato for a bit. Literally.

I'm still going to try my all, give my best, right till I burn out. Why not?
Besides, I ain't got nothing more to lose other than this.

No Title.

Just like my previous entry, the feelings are still there. I hate weekends from now on. Absolutely hate them. Honestly, I would much rather have weekdays all year long and work every damn day of the week but be able to keep the way things are going now, rather than to have weekends ruin it all.

Yes I find that I have become sensitive, maybe even over-sensitive at times but I think my emotions are justified with the current circumstances.

Gotta run now. Don't know where to.

And as I see the sun in the cloudy sky...

Been a week of so much mixed and controversial emotions and feelings for me. Work. Home. Training. Sleep. Such a normal routine yet so many differing feelings and emotions.

Things between me and her are slowly improving, growing bit by bit. Just hope it'll continue to stay that way. Been the happiest 3 days I've had in a long long time the past 3, from Tues till Thurs. Wonderful, absolutely wonderful time. =)

Hope things won't change for the worse - I am so very aware tomorrow is the weekend and while most guys, esp NSFs should cherish and look forward to weekends since it means no work, I beg to differ. I cannot stand weekends anymore. Blah. Hurts hurts hurts.

Just let nature take its path and see what fate brings you.

I don't like not being in control of my own life and decisions. I have made choices regarding my situation and I really hope my worst-case scenario doesn't come true. I'll really be shattered.

Gotta sleep now. Too much think = big headache. Ouch.

Self Improvement

Just realised how much of a MorHole I used to be. Horrible. But no more. It has ended.
So now I'm doing some self-improvement, on myself, obviously.

Still been trying to win back my love life, managed to get some headway this evening after a lengthy gossipy chat. Just hope things will get back to normal soon.

Work's tough. Stressful. Tiring. But I like it. It's good. Occupies my time so I won't fall asleep or think about stuff too much.

Shall update more again another time, gotta sleep now.

i love you dear

Hardworking Me...

Never in my life have I been so hardworking, so efficient with anything and everything in life. I guess it's just because Good Friday wasn't all that Good for me. Can't say much, only that it was a most lonely and confusing public holiday.

I say hardworking because I did so much today, did so much housework too. Started with physical exercises which is absolutely not my thing, but I guess that when people are depressed and losing their mind, they tend to do things that are not very favorable to them.
After that I tidied up my entire room, which is really quite a big deal. It is not a big room, but just that it was very messy and cluttered with all sorts of nonsense on the floor. Imagine having to find room on the floor to put your foot on to take steps to the bed. Find room on the floor. I mean it, it was really that bad.
Also managed to do some laundry, something I normally don't do alone. Quite the contrary, I don't even do laundry normally. Yes, maybe I'm a pampered and spoilt shit, so sue me.

All I'm trying to say is that I had some very strong motivation and inspiration to do all this, achieve all this impossible deeds myself this very day. Yes I know it is Good Friday, but that doesn't apply to justify my actions today. I am not Christ who sacrificed himself on the Cross and resurrected 3 days later. No, that is not me. Just that motivation and inspiration, and possibly even incentive, can all be very strong factors to get me to do something, or rather, some things, that I simply don't do.

She is my Motivation and source of Inspiration, yet she denies it and refuses to believe in it. I must find a way to convince her of this truth.
When feelings for a person get so deep, that person can have all sorts of ginormous influences on you, whether good or bad. That's just my belief, because it comes from personal experience.

Only good point of today is that I had some quality Father-Son time with my dad, talked a bit and enjoyed a meal and some computer shopping. What else. Haha.

Life is so full of uncertainties and irregularities that nothing, absolutely nothing can be predicted or prepared. It would only lead to disappointment and ultimately, long periods of depression.
That's the damn problem of having too many hopes and dreams for the future.
Now it just hurts too damn much, too damn hard. It's really such a hard fall.

The Return of The King

I have returned.

Penang was a complete waste of time damnit, trip totally sucked, and the team didn't win any nuts at all. Good point is that I did get my break from boring old SGP and managed to spend more dedicated time with my dearest. Not that she took it too well, but at least I tried. Oh well, there was progress, so I'll just be happy with what I can get for now.

I think I have accumulated the most cliche phrases I can find that relate to me now.

Patience is a virtue.
Faith is the key to success.
Love crosses all boundaries.
Curiousity killed the cat.
and my favorite one of all :
Ignorance is Bliss.


Sigh, just really hope things will turn out for the better soon, for everyone.

To jac : Thanks for all your help with everything and concern and opinions. It's really made a fair difference in everything that has passed and you've really been a great help. Thanks so much. I'll buy you coffee someday once this is all over yea? :)

To my dear : Thank you. Very much. You've really been the sweetest thing in my entire life and I want it to stay that way. I will wait. However long it takes, I will wait right here for you.
