DISQUS

I would honestly say that sleeping pills may not be a good idea. I've been imsomniac almost all my life, and I used to take sleeping pills up till a few years ago. Today, I still suffer from imsomnia but I guess it's best to try to tackle them with "natural" remedies. In any case, don't take sleeping pills for too long.

4 years later, you'll most likely be having the same thoughts as you are making plans to leave America for Malaysia. I know how you feel, I'm turning 24 this year and 10 years ago I wouldn't have been able to imagine what it would be like to turn 24, but here I am.

And about the arguments... it might sound strange, but I believe it could be human nature to deliberately pick fights (even more so than the usual) with those we love when we know it's almost time to part (even if the parting isn't forever).

Your sentiments are perfectly understandable :).

Didn't think you'd need another hug, but congratulations all the same!

Maybe talk about the results of your university applications... ;)

Happy Chinese New Year, Su Ann! I wish my CNY celebrations are half as fun as yours, but as the years pass by and I grow older (*gasp!), things just seem to change, y'know. My cousin's 19 too, and I can't help but realise that 5 years have passed since I was 19. Where did these years go to? :) Good luck with your college applications, btw... any updates thus far on that?

Merry Christmas to you too! :)

In general, I'd say PEOPLE motivate me. It is the people who disappoint you, might hurt you, but at the end of the day, knowing that I've done something to change people's lives, or done something to have impacted someone's life in any way, or having people put their faith in me, and people who encourage me, people who share their life stories, people who give me good competition :), and people, people, people...

If people motivate you in any way (which I suppose is the same for you, from the way you put your motivations), here's something that *might* encourage you:

You're a very good writer, and I know you'll get your essay done (like you always do, don't you!). What's important is just to write from your heart and be sincere, because sincerity definitely goes a long way!

Cheers!

Haha, I had fun reading this post! This definitely cheered me up. My mother has an awkward sense of humour too (but luckily she hasn't gotten me a pacifier thus far, probably thinks I don't need to be pacified). Happy Birthday in advance, fellow October baby and fellow Libran! :)

I recall once when I was reluctant to hang out with this girl and her gang, I would give plenty of excuses to not join them for outings whatsoever. I didn't mind meeting up with her, one-to-one, but somehow, I had reservations about meeting up with the whole bunch. The simple reason was because we had different mentality and mindsets, and clashing personalities, and while they enjoyed doing nothing that constituted as something, I'd rather stay home or just hang out with some close friends.

Perhaps you are looking too deep into the matter. Speak to her, and ask her to find out where the problem truly lies. Maybe your friendship will end up stronger than how it originally started off with.

And I don't think you were "backstabbing" if you were genuinely concerned about her.

Good luck, and I hope everything turns out well for you!

Actually I can perfectly understand why he's boycotting your blog, if it's the same reason and situation as what happened in my case ;).

And yes, when you love someone, his imperfections usually become overthrown by her goodness.

I met a scary cabbie driver who once told me I looked like his ex-girlfriend.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmm...

Then he told me he was joking.

Good to know taxi drivers in Malaysia have sense of humour!
