i've never been to me.

1.35, its officially monday. school starts, again. time seems to pass ever so quickly, everytime we want it to go slow; crawls when we wish things to get over fast. life, its basically a parody of its own isnt it.

the past week had been a bad one, with tests and all. chinese. =X urgh. today; yesterday rather, was probably the best day i had in the week. went out with my best friend, caught a movie, did stuff, i seemingly hadnt done in a long while. it feels good to be out, and go crazy over little things. thats the thing about being with close friends; you dont have to hide behind a facade, no fake smiles, no necessity to look your best every minute, for fear you might become a laughing stock. and for that period of time, be genuinely you. i wished time lasted longer, it was like an instant of happiness, and poof, gone. (no it did not became koko-krunch) but it was pretty much a good thing. afterall, we wouldnt appreciate the company that much if we were together all the time. sigh, humans. we just take too many things for granted.

if you ask me, i'll tell you laughters never come from the heart. smiles do. very much irrelevant, but it sort of just blew cross my mind. heavy heart, bottled up shit. its like all my problems chucked in, locked and someone just threw away the god damn key. crap, i cant do this.

just a random riddle my friend told me. theres this bunch of men, who went to fight a war. they won the war but came back wearing bras and panties. why?

they came back in Triumph.

on a lighter note, at least there isnt any tests tommorrow. hell you dont know how much i appreciate that. oh and theres this song, i've never been to me. which is really, really nice. credits to shirleen shiao for the introduction. an oldie, but definitely a song worth hearing.

i've been to paradise,
but i've never been to me.

comfort zone.

its been a month since i've last blogged, but it seemed longer than i thought. no one comes here anymore i suppose, but then again i dont really care. haha. ahh, was in the shower again today (suppose thats where all my inspirations come from), and thought about something which i felt was kind of, well, true.

smthing like how people, in general tend to stay within their comfort zones, and never coming out unless they really have to, or forced to, in a certain sense. and most people just stay in this nutshell all their lives, without even trying to break out of it, to explore all that lays beyond. then again, they probably dont even realise they could. what im talking about here is comfort zones, which includes everything you're familiar with, the things you do ever so often everyday. everything else, is out of the zone. and yeah, i wouldnt say its bad to stay in your comfort zone, i mean, afterall, its.. comfortable. but the point here is, if you do, then you'll never learn and develop.

so i really think we cannot remain static and all, cause if we continue remaining within our comfort zone we'll discover eventually that fewer and fewer things we do are comfortable, and we get restricted. take starting a family, for example. yes at first the excitement is there, then as we do the same things over and over again, the novelty soon wears off. familiarity breeds laziness and things start to like, you know, becomes sorta a routine. 'its friday, lets all have pizza as usual', or like 'sunday is the day to get the car washed'. we soon stop making friends, lose touch with old ones. it also shrinks your social skills. which is BAD, very very bad.

and it might just become a problem, cause many people are doing less and less as time passes along, and staying within their comfort zones become 'oh-so-important'. they lose their interest in living, and everything seems all so boring. ' oh, im too old for that.' or things like, ' hell with the picnic, lets just stay home and watch tv.' even me, i suppose i prefer staying within my comfort zone, too. but im trying, really. haha. oh well, it isnt difficult really, if we put our mind to it, that is. hm, i shall start off with talking to three new people i never knew. (;

and heres a statement; a question rather, for you to ponder over,
'when was the last time you bathed with cold water?'
