Friday, August 5
i've been watching your world from afar
i've been trying to be where you are
and i've been secretly falling apart
i'll see...
to me, you're strange and you're beautiful
you'd be so perfect with me but you just can't see
you turn every head but you don't see me...
ahhh i love that song. it made me cry buckets and buckets and buckets because it's the ultimate infatuation song. i've gotten loads of people hooked on it. and then we all sit together and angst because there's a reason crushes are called just that - crushes.
remembering what mari and i were talking about in chinese class yesterday.
mari: ' what if you really really wanted to send your kid to st. marg's but your husband wouldn't allow you to?'
me: 'do i love him?'
' yeah a lot a lot.'
' i'd try to make him see i'm right. *evil grin*'
' but what if he's really really insistent?'
' then i'd give in.'
*look of utter shock* ' what??? why??'
' because that's how love is.'
her expression was gratifying. yes mari i do have a heart! and sometimes, just sometimes.. that's how love is.
had a wonderful lunch with dipsy today, was joined by candy and mari after that. heh heh we're such pigs. created a great deal of chaos getting on the bus back to school. after we'd settled down, i heard someone call my name. which was when i realised my sister had been on the bus all along! ahhh, will ill luck never cease?! so yeah i just grinned at her and dumped my jacket with her to take home. i've got this bad habit of reporting very loudly to her whenever one of my friends says she's pretty. =D yesterday mari said she was pretty, and i yelled that fact to her. mari wanted to bash my head, i think. anyway, i think lunches out are a good idea! i mean, school is so restraining. when we're out we can just sit there for hours and hours talking about everything and anything and then life seems easier to live.
mdm tay has had a very exciting life. huiying and i were discussing who'd get to write her biography. a few months ago, she asked us if we knew a particular date in history. we all stared blankly at her, and she complained in a typical mdm-tay-style that we don't know our history. 'that was the day i almost died!' we exchanged looks that more or less said we didn't know her personal history was a component of international history. but anyway apparently she was in a cab being driven past some riots on her way to university. today she told us about how she was the top in penang and some other state for the a'level entrance exam, and how when she transferred school all the boys were waiting to see the girl who'd beat them.. and here she giggled and i swear she blushed!! and she told us about how they'd go to her house after school to talk and discuss things, but how she didn't like any of them because ' you're not allowed to fall in love' ...!! [ i thought she was going to tell us that she ended up marrying one of them, but i guess her life isn't that dramatic] and yeah. basically, she's had a very exciting life. timmo said it could be made into a movie. hahaha. no wonder she can't stand it that i'm so bad at history. smart people have little patience with perfect idiots.
page really does hate me. i didn't play with her last night. today i let her run about in her ball [and almost lost her when she ran out of the door and across the landing into my sister's room] and after that when i was holding her, she nibbled my fingers. =( i think she's going to bite me someday. she's a lot less shy and tame now, more grumpy and pms-y. still cute, but i yell ' stop!!' at her whenever she tries to bite my hands. funny thing is, she really does stop. we'll see how it goes tomorrow when i clean out the cage and bathe her. i don't care if she doesn't like water, i'm not going to have a ball of stinky fur in my room.
fwahhhhhh. =D i think annie knows what i'm talking about. and huiying too. hahaha fwah fwah fwah. ;) okay okay gotta stop gotta stop.
i want to listen to 'ironic' again. even though the true irony is that it isn't ironic at all. but one line stuck with me - ' it's meeting the man of my dreams.. and then meeting his beautiful wife.' hur hur. i betcha with the kind of luck i've been having for 17 years, that'll be my life story. ms tan's version is nicer though. sadder. ' it's meeting the man of my dreams, and then meeting his beautiful wife... who looks just like me.' can you just hear my heart breaking in advance? when she wrote that on the board, my mind raced ahead to complete the sentence as she was writing the first two words of the third line. and then all i could think was -it could have been me. it could have been me. those, my friend, are the bitterest words you'd ever have to say. well, right next to ' i shouldn't have' or ' i could have'. funny isn't it, how the blessings always fall an inch from your outstretched hand.
page knows i'm angry about her attempting to bite me. she's avoiding my eyes. and sitting dolefully in a corner. hah! let her stew for a while. then she won't be so pms-y tomorrow. it isn't fair to let her get away with bad behaviour just because she's so adorable everyone wants to hamster-nap / squash her. okay only mari and huiying want to squash her.
heh heh strange and beautiful. it must be fun marrying your stalker. =D
it must've been love.
