Communication, No?

hmmm.

think that people nowadays cannot reallie communicate with each other the 'real' way, i.e. face to face, anymore... think that the other forms of communication aren't really reliable.. or are they?

take MSN for example: you're feeling very sad, with tears rolling down your face, but when your friend asks about you, you can still insert a cheerful smiley and type 'haha' or 'hehe'..

or through SMS when people asks you questions.. your first reaction might be "what the hell?! !@#$%^&*" but you take some time to think over what your reply might be, and you're also able to correct your sentences as well..

even through the phone, u can force yourself to sound cheerful and act nonchalant when you actually feel like beating up the person at the other end of the line..

but you're not being true to yourself nor to others when you do these, are you?

That's why when i have important things to discuss with people, or important questions i would like to pose to them, i'd rather do it face to face.

This way, not only can i gauge their emotions from their facial expressions as well as body language, i am also able to get their first reaction, which normally is the most truthful one.. And not forgetting their eyes.. always the windows to one's soul..

therefore, isn't face to face communication the one only most reliable way?

that's how i feel anyway.
hmmm.

Merry Widow

went to watch the musical, Merry Widow today..
quite a good musical.. [had better be.. for 200bucks per ticket..]
proceeds go to the President's Challenge, which explains our President's presence there..
splendid costumes and powerful voices...
it's a wonder they can continue singing for a good 3 hours..
hmmm..

seats sucked though.
didn't help that the old hags behind me were talking loudly all the way and had previously told me brusquely to sit lower so they could see better.
like, watever.
bleah.

Oh. and singaporeans.
tsk.
clapping after every song ended..
like how embarrassing.
we don't even noe the proper behaviour to watching a musical..
sigh.
oh well.

Singaporeans.
hmmm.

feeling down

haix. feeling down and have no idea why.
am not pms-ing though.
sad. =[

think i need a little more motivation for my studies.
literally have to plead with myself to get down to studying.
something's wrong with me.
hmmm. haix.

nice thoughts isn't helping in lifting my spirits.

argh..!

wat's a relationship worth?

i recently heard of someone breaking up, and the other party actually used an sms to end the relationship.
so wat is a relationship that had mattered before, worth, at the end of the day?
a mere sms??

sad.

even though it has ended, surely it's worth more than just an sms?
is that all the respect your previously oh-i-love-u-too-honeybunny deserves?

hmmmmmmmmm.

Bored.

heh. wonder what i'm doing, back here again. probably am bored.

but nevertheless, this is a much much nicer background eh?

feeling a little lost. a little confused as well. i wonder where i stand.. hmmm.

i wonder if i'm lying to myself. . .

confused.

Back to the Rainbows

rainbows, fairytales, sugar and spice,
born to think that everything's nice.
hatred, violence, grappling vice,
sudden realisation makes you wise.

darkness and loneliness makes one breathe with difficulty.
take the easy way out.
through rose-coloured glasses,
escape's rainbows, fairytales, sugar and spice.

"10 Things I Hate About You"

I hate the way you talk to me and the way you cut your hair I hate the way you drive my car I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind I hate you so much it makes me sick it even makes me rhyme.

I hate the way you're always right I hate it when you lie I hate it when you make me laugh even worse when you make me cry

I hate it that you're not around and the fact that you didn't call But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you Not even close, Not even a little bit, Not even any at all.
