The old feelings creep up on you at times when you least expect it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Why is the mind incapable of deciding its own subject matter? Why when we desperately want to think of one thing do we invariably think of another?" --- winterson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a cold night tonight, it's cold and dark and lonely, so unlike the first time we looked at the sky together. The very first time, in November. It's November again, have you realised it? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I didn't want to cry, I wanted to talk to her calmly and gently. But I did cry, hot tears falling onto her cold skin, scalding her with my misery. Unhappiness is selfish, grief is selfish. For whom are the tears? Perhaps it can be no other way." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is love? It is certainly no guarantee of happiness. Loving someone opens you up to hurt and pain. Is there anyone in this world who can master love (with the possible exception of Iago)?

I still care a lot for you, and I really don't want to make you unhappy, but it's just that I didn't want to make you any promises which I feel I might not be able to keep. I do want to be friends, very much so, but I just can't promise. I'm really sorry. But it seems like you're going back to the previous aloof mode, after the little progress we made. Before last night, we were talking again, even if it was just over the phone or over sms, and I was happy about it. But now, you're just going back to where we were a few months back. It seems to me that you see last night as a last chance for being friends again or something, and I want to tell you it isn't. I just need time, and maybe so do you.

That someone (are u reading this now, -someone-) also told me once before to update my blog. (I updated! I updated! Go me!) I was so shocked that I merely stared at her for a minute or two, then sputtered out, "How did you get to my blog?!" Haha. When I first started out this blog, I didn't intend it for many to read it, not that there was much to read. Call me silly (for after all, a blog is something you place on the internet and absolutely anyone can access to it), but I really didn't think people I didn't know well or didn't know at all would come here and read what I wrote. Thus, the outpouring of heartfelt and perhaps rather intense emotions in previous entries... It was strange, I must admit, to discover that some people actually read this. Wonder what they think... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: Doing notes for Long Day's Journey Into Night is killing me. It's bloody depressing. Can't imagine living their lives. And so, since I've finished Hard Times and Silas Marner (the two least depressing books of the whole lot), I'm left with ALL the tragedies. Ain't that uncommonly jolly now!

Common tests are on right now, but they're probably the last thing on my mind. I'm in a quandry. Don't know what to do. Trying to decide if all my efforts are worth it, then trying to decide what is worth it. Everytime I think I've reached a decision, doubts creep into my head. It seemed like yesterday when we first got together (7 months ago actually) Yet, time is a strange thing. Because it feels like eons ago when I was told I was really important (just two weeks ago). Perhaps this is really not meant to be. After all, is love supposed to bring you so much pain? Sometimes, I can't seem to stop, at others, I just want to disappear. I feel scared of you. Because I never know what will happen whenever I'm with you. Things change too fast. One minute you're so affectionate, and at another, it feels like I'm nothing to you. You know something? Every time I get upset, you're seldom there to comfort me. People who comfort me instead are my friends. Isn't that funny? You're the one whom I'm supposed to be attached to after all. I don't feel secure. I don't feel safe. I'm crying half the time. Why can't there be some consistency? It hurts to even think of you. To think of what you've said but not done, what you've not said but done. To think of the good memories, then recall the bad ones. All the fears, all the insecurities, they are still very real. I dream about them sometimes... It's... scary, not to say quite traumatising. I guess I'll stop here, it's getting too painful to continue. And it seems like all my blog entries nowadays are depressing. Not good. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3695625-105716002203279085?l=intemperance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3695625/posts/default/105716002203279085'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3695625/posts/default/105716002203279085'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://intemperance.blogspot.com/2003_06_29_archive.html#105716002203279085' title=''/><author><name>Dahlias</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14984085902945743682</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3695625.post-105715825574804823</id><published>2003-07-02T08:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2003-07-02T08:04:15.720-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Someone told me once that I can never be alone, that I'll never be able to survive without people around me, and that I'll definitely get into relationships. I don't know if what she said was true, but right now, I think I'll be happier alone. Not like totally alone, without friends and family. But alone, without being in a relationship. Simply because they are too intense. Loving someone will open you to too much hurt. Agree?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, common tests have not been good.&lt;br /&gt;History: I thought Source A was absolute crap and did not relate to the hypothesis at all, so, i wrote that down.

if you are you ought to be pleased) proceeding which, i've gone and got myself another journal; this one a lovely lavender which i got from bookbinders. i really should be studying history (specifically russian revolution) right now, but for a reason obvious to all, i can't. so here i am, updating a long-forgotten blog. it's, let's see, 2.25am on a wednesday morning. i've moved to bukit panjang already for those who have been living in a cave the past 3 weeks and thus have neglected to check their handphones. its bloody inconvenient here; i'm goodness-knows-how-far from civilization and it takes me 1hr to get to sch by bus. but then again, i love my new room (all the furniture's wood; and i've got a platform bed yay!) so i really should not complain. and oh yes, i've got a mahjong set :) so for those who wanna come play, you're welcome to, though i've no idea how u're gonna get here.. haha. &lt;br /&gt;it's funny how i actually wanted to say how tired and lonely and frustrated and yet empty (this is so bizarre) i feel deep down inside, i wanted to write it all down here, but by the time i started writing, i realise i didn't really know how to fully explain the emotions inside me. so i...well... ended up writing all the above. ah whatever..if u have ever experienced what u think i'm experiencing and u know how to express it and know the source of it, drop me a msg?

My birthday was well spent, it was a great day, thoroughly enjoyed it, but how I wish everyday could be my birthday. I remembered telling Nicola one night over ICQ that happiness is an elusive entity. The more I try to seek it, the more it escapes from me. Incoherent post this is, but its 2am. Basically I did not have a good night. Quarelled with someone, then started my puking all over again, and I'm suffering from cramps as well. Bleargh. I want my health and happiness back...

But maybe it's special because of the way Mr Purvis talks about it...Hmm... I actually feel for the book, something which I daren't say for Hard Times and Othello. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you know what? I just realised that I'm turning 18 in two weeks time. Haha. How scary. Imagine that! 18! And life now is completely different from what I imagined life at 17-going-on-18 would be like when I was 8. Not that I'm complaining of course. I called Peiwen yesterday to talk, and was suddenly acutely conscious of the fact that I miss her a lot, not only her, but my secondary school classmates as well...Peiwen told me in her usual cheerful, loud self that Keith and her are going shopping for a present for me. Upon which, I was quite confounded and said rather confusedly, "Huh? What present?" With a touch of impatience, she replied, "Your BIRTHDAY present!" Hahah, it was then that it hit that yes, I'm turning 18 in two weeks time. So Keith where are u two going shopping for my present? Heh, Peiwen told me to ask you when I asked her that. By the way, I don't know if I told you this, but I really like the cupboard you got me last year. Have this weird penchant for boxes and containers alike. The cupboard is sitting on my table, and has been for the past one year. And in it, contains Peiwen's gift from last year as well... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmm...

I have never felt so happy, so loved and so in love. I guessed I was always afraid to get into a relationship because I was scared that loving someone else too much would leave me vulnerable, that it would leave me open to hurt and pain.

A new year should really bring new hope, but the year started on the wrong… I had problems in my relationship. And for the next few weeks after that, all the way till now, there would be a new problem every week.

My family life went down, I was undergoing a rough patch when my godparents divorced and I found out that suddenly I have a new six-year-old cousin and a new 30-smth-year-old aunt to boot. And sch wasn’t going well either, I felt tired, tired of the system, I really just wanted time to stop, so that maybe I could get some rest. Then maybe I would feel rejuvenated enough to get on with life again. But things are never easy, and you never get what you really badly want. &lt;br /&gt;But somehow or rather, I got through the middle of the year to the end of the year…I supposed it was because I was lucky enough to have friends rallying arnd me, helping me through everything. I really appreciate them for it:&lt;br /&gt;Huiyi--- for being there every single time, every single time I need you, always my bestest friend… Love u&lt;br /&gt;Zihua—for all the bitching sessions bout scandalous family life, also for putting up with me the past 5 years… though u irritate me for the fun of it all the time… Silly little girl..&lt;br /&gt;The class girls---for I dunnoe, putting up with me.. haha whenever I PMS..

A day can just pass by in the matter of what feels like seconds but a month can drag on like what seems like years. All of a sudden, I feel like writing again, like maybe I’m back to what I was before, yet deep down inside I know that’s not true. This is probably like a passing phase, a transient, temporal thing like how everything else is. The world is the same, yet it is different somehow. The sky looks the same—the same hue of blue, covered with white, fluffy clouds, the field is just as green, the buildings set against the skyline still look as beautiful, there are still echoes of laughter in the distance, but things are not the same. At the very least, my life is not the same. I know it’s silly to expect myself to stay the same over a few years, but surely I don’t deserve this whirlwind of events (mostly sad, unfortunate ones) over the past half year? At the beginning of last year, I thought to myself that finally I’m in junior college. It probably has a lot to offer, new friends, new life, new loves. There was so much hope, so many expectations.

Life is transient. Moments of childhood have become just fleeting memories. I missed those times where days were filled with happy thoughts and joyful laughter. I asked if he remembered those days.

Writing what, I don't know. Nevertheless, I turned on my computer and started typing. But all of a sudden, I felt tired. I didn't want to write anymore. In fact, I loathe it. Why do I just churn out crap nowadays? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr Purvis said in class one day that we should treasure our youth. We should go out and play, we should fall in love again and again. We should not be too harsh on ourselves. At the same time, we should get our grade A's and not end up in the National University of Singapore. I'm confused. Exactly what should we do?

I've decided to start a blog at gee...12.56am on a sunday.....why? Because I'm feeling decidedly bored. I just downloaded and listened to Louis Armstrong's version of 'Dream A Little Dream Of Me', which explains the relatively chirpy title. It's a good version(in my opinion at least), go download it all of you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never knew starting a blog was so difficult. All the user-names I wanted were already taken, even the URLs were taken. How infuriating...and of course the person I requested help from was most -helpful- He suggested I use "Irritating ex-NY Girl" as the title...&lt;br /&gt;*not amused&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, it's 1.04am...I don't want to type anymore (or rather, I've nothing to type anymore). On a totally unrelated note, I hope i maintain this blog  (have this annoying habit of not completing things) Bleargh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3695625-80069752?l=intemperance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3695625/posts/default/80069752'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3695625/posts/default/80069752'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://intemperance.blogspot.com/2002_08_04_archive.html#80069752' title=''/><author><name>Dahlias</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14984085902945743682</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry></feed>
