Put your head in the clouds and your feet will do the same.

Mood: Surreal
i can't believe tomorrow is the big day, when just 'yesterday', i was sitting for the exams that proved four years of secondary school life.To-
may-to. Po-
tay-to. Fuck-
fuck-yo.
THAT was some random phrase i read in the latest novel which i'm hooked on -
Fourth comings by Megan McCafferty. It's been stuck in my head all day, for no particular why. Not that i'm a big fan of her, but i take great delight in reading this particular book 'cause there's so much of the not-so-obvious content to the very superficial face of the American culture. That refers to what i call their sex language. Well, if you understand. That includes made-up phrases like 'buttplugs' and a phrase like 'unite the vagina and the mouth', etc. These were very openly used in the novel, (yeah), which was new. (In other words, none of us, 'virgin' writers, would have done.)
Went for japanese lesson today. It was another day piled with all the extra vocabulary and 'counters'. Tiring? Indeed. Currently, i'm too lazy to flip through the foreign language and remember all the hoopla. If my brain could just stop feeling figety about what's to come tomorrow, i would have relentlessly prowled through all that for the first time.
Sighs. Whyyyyy had i promised myself that i would read through the 16 pages worth of romanji? Yet another empty promise.
Enough of the sidetracking.
After having done meticulous research these past weeks, i've basically made a simple conclusion. Having been through all the brochures and the multiple, never-ending websites, i think there's only one thing that came out from all that.
Narrowing down your multi-interests to just one is an extremely uphill task to fufill.Fighting for a wide range of interests all at one go, now, THAT, is being plain STUPID. Taking them slowly one at a time, that's a step to reaching your goals and not wearing your greedy pants upside down.
I haven't actually really given much thought to where i would end up if i pursued ALL my interests, which is to be a graphic designer, cum animator, cum illustrator, cum writer, cum games designer (the artistic part), cum childcare educator, cum manymanymany more. -----GOD. i want EVERYTHING.
If only my parents could agree that the market for animation in singapore is not bite-size, and that there're a lot of companies out there. So that i could jump from one to another when i feel like it.
If only everything comes faster than you can say 'BINGO'.
Funnily, i find truth in what the pricipal of SP said, when i went the their open house on saturday. (Most of what he said was propaganda though. Like how good their school was, their core values, their courses blah.)
FYI: I'm not trying to be philosophical here.
'When one door closes on you, another door awaits you.'
This quote was surprisingly mindblowing although i've already seen it in print a gazillion times. However, having heard it being said out loud for the first time reminded me once again, of how much impact it could make on a struggling, listless soul.
i feel like an invalid,
now that the future is nearing. 'Future' here means the prospects of finding a job, dating, getting married, settling down and all the things you do once you're of legal age and when the 'teenager' label falls off. It all seems so huge, soo substantial, sooo behemothic, soooo gargantuan, sooooo__________ (Help! i need a word here. What's that word again?). Well, you get the meaning.
Its basically impossible if i try to imagine my life 20 years from now. I'm starting to finally understand and come to terms with the word 'maturity'.
I used to think,
'hey, will i grow as tall as my father?'
'why does everything around me look so giantic?'
-when i was the short one and table and chairs became smaller as i grew taller.'why is kissing the first step that people who claim they love each other take?'
'how do you know that he/she's the right one?'
'where do people get the courage to trust someone entirely that they're willing to live with each other?'
-when all the time the word 'marriage' made me conjure morbid till-death-do-us-part metaphors.'why do adults have sex?'
'why do adults marry?'
'why is there so much emphasis on the wedding day and so little about the fifty years that come after?'
'why do people want to marry in the first place when in the end, they get a divorce?'
'why do adults always do the stupid things that they do?'
...and the list goes on.
And everytime, my conclusion would always be -Wait till i get there and maybe, just maybe, i'll have answers to my questions.
Come 2010, i have my answer finally.
An answer that answers all my questions.
The fact that whatever lies ahead of us is an unknown, and only by treading the unknown, (stepping forward, making decisions, trusting that they'll bring you somewhere), will we get to see the future we've always wondered about.Just like how you solve questions with an unknown, you never know what's the answer until you do the question yourself.
You may be skeptical about all that rubbish i said above. But i didn't ask for an audience, all right? GRARRR. Even after having my answer, i still stick fervently and loyally to the 'I SHOOT AGEING' belief.
I choose to end my post with the following sentence because (a)it is absurdly scary and (b)the truth.
We marry the person we love but forget to love the person we marry.
Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the candy empire.
Hello. My name is liying, without any spacing in between.
I'm obviously a girl, if it isn't obvious enough.
I also have this super, uber, long name which says
Any one will do, its your choice.
My awesomeness can't be contained in such a teeny-weeny box because i'm sensational.
Yes, I'm loved, bayy-beh. I blog about everything under the sun and anything that's the past, present and the future. My profile page is non-existent, because its not long enough.
