Compilation of drafts: I dreamt a dream.



I've been having really weird dreams lately. Like really really weird ones.

#1. Transgender guy posing for a cover of a magazine, nude.
WHAT IS THIS?!

#2 Crazy leopards going on killing everyone. It's like leopard apocalypse whattttttttttt.

Can I just blog on Dayre? I'm thinking on creating an account for it but I don't think I will update frequently tho.

A shell. A ghost town. A lost soul. Work-in-progress. Tired. Demotivated. Demotivated to breathe. To live. Wake up, repeat. On a loop. Dead routine. So hectic. Suffocating. Days, days go so slow. Yet not enough. Time is slipping through my knuckles. Slowly, gruellingly, fast. I can't.

Wrote this on one of those days, pfft. My friend said I just contradicted myself on the slowly, gruellingly, fast part. hahahaha

"...how their love for us shines a light on where we don't love ourselves."
I cried, while watching the drama I cried. I cried at everything. At the sad scenes, at my life, at the universe. Everything is just so sad. No it's not the drama, it has nothing to do with it. The drama was just an excuse. It's been some time now, feeling like this, like a shipwreck. I want badly, to melt myself into a puddle and tell the world I'm not okay.

Why is everything so sad? Yes, I write, more often than not, on my lowest days. Just to pen down my thoughts, because it becomes a burden if it's not off my chest. Aside from all the exam stress (which is really really stressful), I'm quite fine actually.


On signboards. In a cafe. A passerby. A cyclist in the rearview mirror.
I see him everywhere. He's intangible, forever beyond reach.
He mixed the stars, the night sky, the evening breeze, the milky way, the whole galaxy in a bowl and made it into fondant. Then like a cocoon, he wrapped himself up in his work of art.
He's beautiful.
So funny story. I met this guy, and I had this tiny crush on him. And girls being girls, we fantasize about how amazing the guy is and stuff like that so I wrote this tiny piece. But when I got to know him, I'm like mehh this is not what I expected. Don't throw curve balls at me! This should be dedicated to someone else. hahaha i'm so evil.

A room where desolated sighs turn into wails, but the people in there are strong.
They have to be.
Always be grateful. Always.
You never know. You can never predict the worst that can happen.
The word itself is so vague and it seems to me that nothing can ever be labelled "worst"
Your "worst" might just be the "best" that has ever happened to someone.
So don't judge, don't grumble.
Be thankful.
Always, always, always, be grateful.

I wrote this when my dear grandma was in the hospital. She has left us, as much as I'd like to deny. But I'm sure she's watching over us, and I know everything will be fine. Because she fought so hard, and nothing that is happening to me right now is harder than what she fought for. Love always.

I have not been able to read any books this year. I have three waiting for me to pick them up but I can't find the time. Not now, everything will happen after that bloody examination.

So excited for graduation. Can't wait to get out!

Be thankful, be grateful.
Love always, C.

#np: July's Playlist

It's July 20th so darn sorry. My schedule was so hectic I couldn't update my blog, but hell no I'm missing this. My jam for the month, mostly cover versions.

The Hills - The Weeknd (Fame On Fire Ft. Rain Paris & Arcaeus Cover)


She's so gorgeous, and that hair. Slurps.

Trip Switch - Nothing But Thieves


I'm starting to fall for them hahaha. Love this!

Chains - Nick Jonas (Midnight Red Cover)


This was powerful! Reminded me of Imagine Dragons.

Fight Song - Rachel Platten (Lovey James Cover)


Inspired.

Trap Queen - Fetty Wap (Lydia Paek Cover)

 

Lydia rules! 

Bright - Echosmith (Future Sunsets Cover)


I like this twist to the song. Instead of the sweet girl vocals in the original song, I like their vocals kinda like the ones in pop-rock bands. Makes sense? hahaha


So that's about it. Hope you liked it, i'll try to be more productive aite?
Love, C.

Missing In Action


It has been decades since I've updated this place. I'm feeling really guilty but there's so much to settle right now.

It's already July and trials is a month away. SPM is 4 months away so I'm really focusing on my studies now.

I'm so stressed out, and I've been a little bit crazy because I have these suicide thoughts. Hahaha I'm fine. I still want to live lah.

Stress can kill. Now I understand.

It's so cramped up together yet so vague. Everything is so fast-forwarded but I'm really scared of what happens next you know?

Things will work out. They always do. ;)

I hope I can find time to write something relevant (not that my rants aren't relevant tho ;) ) up on the blog.

In the meantime, I will have to study my way out of 2015 I guess.

I'm still very very excited for graduation. Hahaha

Love, always. C.

Rant: Vomiting Thoughts



You can't fool me on whatsapp, no. Double ticks can't fool me. Blue ones, you're so done.

My mind is exploding, no, it's like every cell in my body is exploding.

I want to scrunch the world up into a ball and wrap it with the universe. Light a match and set it into flames.

Imagine how the stars burn, because that's how I feel now.

I can't wait, I can't wait anymore. If it wasn't for the tetris game I wouldn't have made it through 2 hours of nothing-happening.

It's like I have this feeling that it's going to be a mistake. But still I want it, I want it so bad. I want to own for even just a second. I don't care if I'm gonna get my heart broken and cry all over the place. I want.

I'm in the hype. Of that age I guess? I have that courage again, well not really. But still.

I need someone to help me. I need to start. I need to step forward and let the wind blow me away. Whatever happens, happens.

I need to, I want to, I have to.

It may break me, or build me, or break then mend me. I don't know, I'll give it a shot.

I know you'd probably think I'm going crazy, maybe I am. I know what I'm saying doesn't make sense to you, but I need to get this out of me.

I feel like nyan cat just got hit by a rock, but still singing the song.

Okay okay, I need a chill pill. I need to cool down.

Wish me luck. I need to be brave. I hope I don't lose myself, because that's not worth it.

Breathe Celine, breathe.

Let's do it, C.

Father's Day: Dear Dad,



I dedicate this song to my dad. The person I call father.

I was never really close with my father. We don't talk about other things except school, my schedule and some other stuff that's normal in a father-daughter conversation. 

好像从没有真的陪你聊天过,虽然你总是想跟我聊些什么

I know you tried really hard, to be close, but all the time I shrugged you off. I know you want us to be people we see on TV screens, but we turned out to be this. 

I know you want me to be you, to do what you do. But I'm a risk-taker, an adventurer. I want to do things I've never done. I know you've got my back, right?

I know you're starting to do things for yourself. Things that you want to, love to do. Before it's too late. You do that. If you're surrounded by red lights and one foot on the brakes, I'll be your green light. Because in the future, I will still want to do things that I love to do. I will still want to try out new things, still live my life, no matter how many children I have, no matter how heavy the world weighs down on me. So you do that. Live your life.

I dedicate this song to you.

曾经伤害你 I'm sorry
滥用了叛逆 I'm sorry
也许有天你会忘记,忘了怎么呼吸
但请你别忘了我很爱你

It's such a relief that I rebelled quite early. When I was 13 or 14 I think. I was immature and rebellious. I treated you like no daughter should treat her father.

真的滥用了叛逆 I really abused my rebellion phase. I sharpened my words and you took them blow by blow. I cannot imagine, how hurt must you be, to be treated like...that.

I think you knew, that's why you were patient. You were calm, when I was igniting, blowing, pouring out dangerous sparks. It must have hurt a lot. Maybe, maybe if I went back to one of those nights , I'm sure I would have noticed your wrinkles, each line like scars carved on to remind you that your daughter is growing up. 

Thank you, for giving me education. For providing a roof, painted brick walls, four wheels, allowances, signatures, and anything to keep me living and breathing.

Thank you, for staying. For not leaving, for not giving up, for making sacrifices, for mentally saying "I'm a father now."

He's no cape-wearing superman, no role model, but I love him regardless. I love him, why? Because he's my father, and there's so much more to that. 

Because he's my father.

现在换我罩着你

Stay healthy and happy. Happy Papa's Day. 
Love, 'line.
