#621 - V-Day Pet Peeve
20120215 @ Wednesday, February 15, 2012

Valentine's Day, the day of expressing love, or so they say. Personally speaking, why celebrate love on this particular day when you can celebrate it everyday but I'm not going to go into that.

There are a lot of love-related quotes being RT-ed around. I don't mind that one bit. You can RT anything you want. What I want to say is ( and I don't know if it's just me being crappy tonight, I am exhausted therefore little things tick me off, but) I am really sick of people associating being single with  loneliness and shit. I'm really sick of people associating single people with being unwanted. I'm really sick of people giving ideas that when you're single, it means there's something wrong with you.
Just. Stop.
When you say "single people", you're being general. You're saying EVERY person who is single commits to doing that specific act. Single people are lonely. Single people are sad. Single people are jealous of other non-single people. Single people are single because nobody wants them. Single people crave for relationships. Single people are set to ruin relationships. Single people feel unloved. 
Well, fuck you.
Has it ever occur to you that some people are single by choice? Has it ever occur to you that some people are just happy with their lives, that having a relationship is not a top priority? Has it ever occur to you that being single does not mean you are pathetic, unwanted and unloved?
Don't sell sick ideas, because some people might buy it.  And here I saw girls RT-ing shit and feeling sorry for themselves when they shouldn't be. It's completely pathetic.

You don't have to be in a relationship to feel special, to feel loved. You're worth more than that.

Excuse my language. And I love you.


-No real love.

"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, what you too? I thought I was the only one"

Recap.
On Saturday, Esther and I went to SA during their road run, it was a time for most goodbyes. We went and I bid some farewells. We then took the LRT to Taman Jaya and had lunch with Oli at Amcorp Mall. Gobbled down our food, and the 3 of us fast walked back to my place, as it was already 4pm, and that was the time we were supposed to leave home for City Youth.We met Sonia and jumped into the car. We joked around in the car, and got off at Kingdom City. It was awkward when we walked into the Youth place, but then we  knew 2 poeple there so it wasn't awkward for long, thankfully. Kendrick's voice is just beautiful, I tell you.  After the message that was given by Rudy Chew, Esther was a bit emotional. She dismissed it and we rushed home, changed and then went for a farewell and also a birthday party that was held at Daniel Chai's house by the Youth of my church. I didn't get thrown into the pool, sadly cause it was raining. The rain did help us interact more and get to know a little bit more about one another, so it was worth it. Let me paint you a picture of the party.

After the great bonding party, Rebekah, Sonia and Esther came back to my house, as they were staying overnight. We had food and were ready to party whilst they helped me pack, at that time the box was in my room but nothing was in it. Then the expected happened, Rebekah and Sonia fell asleep. It was just asdfghjkl amazing, I've never seen them sleep so early (12.30am)
So the packing was left to Esther and I. We packed and threw away 80% of the crap from my table. We talked whilst doing it, the poor girl was so sleepy. Eventually we decided we'd empty my closet and just clear the table. It was nearly 3am by the time we were done, so we decided it was time to knock out. We woke at 8am. Sonia, Rebekah and I were part of the Praise and Worship team for Youth that Sunday. I was on the guitar, Rebekah on the piano and Sonia was singing. We grumbled and rolled around till 8.45am. Sonia was the first to get ready, so by the time we actually got out of bed, she was already dressed and was straightening her hair. I have no idea how she'd live without a straightener. 
We were late. Quite late. We were supposed to be in the room at 8.30, we were there at 8.45. Oh well. We practiced once, then we played and let me tell you out of all the times we've led Praise and Worship, this one was the best. I think it was cause all the songs we did were the ones that ALL of us knew, so that was good. 
After Youth, all of us stayed back to witness the drama of the PCC AGM. It's church politics, hard to explain. It was a blast, Rebekah introduced me to this 17 going 18 year old boy named Casper, he's from Miri. I made a new friend! :)
He too stayed to witness drama. Our drama needs weren't that satisfied with the AGM this year, and it got boring after a while plus we were starved, so we went out for lunch dragging Casper, Jon and Jason with us. We crossed the road and headed for Amcorp Mall. None of us could decide what to eat so we just headed to McDonald's. Rebekah and Esther disappeared for a bit, so all of us took up 2 tables and started yacking away. Once Rebekah and Esther resurfaced, I went photo frame hunting with Deb. I bought 2, I found them rather interesting.Once they ate and everything, which took ages. We headed back, and the PCC AGM was still going on. It was already 4 and the meeting started at 11. It was rather fascinating that a meeting could go on for that long. Quite fascinating. Once the meeting was over, we said our goodbyes. Rebekah, Esther and Sonia had put together money and bought me gifts! They bought me a notebook with notes from everyone and 3 badges.  Rebekah and Esther were going out with their families for lunch, whilst Sonia and I hung around at home then we found out we were going for an extremely late lunch at Sri Paandi's. We got out of the car and stepped into Paandi's only to see Esther and Rebekah sitting at a table for four. We went up to them and laughed about the huge coincidence and ordered drinks. The lady whom we ordered our drinks from was new and kept on coming to our table asking questions. We took pictures and had long chats, we laughed so much our stomachs ached. That's what I call friendship. The relationship I have with these people is my definition of Friendship. After a while it was time to bid yet another farewell, it occured to us that this was going to be the last time I'm seeing these people, until I come back in July. We hugged and took more pictures. Esther left first, followed by Sonia, Rebekah and I. Rebekah looked like she was about to cry. I know I was. Sonia came to my house to wait for her uncle. Half an hour later her uncle comes, and I say goodbye. 
I went home holding back tears. I promised myself I wouldn't cry.
That was the end of my weekend with The Kakis.

On Monday, I took my braces off and collected my retainers. My teeth now feel naked. Tuesday, Hung out with the Lims at Sunway Lagoon, then  I went and spent time at school. Disappointment was instilled in me when I found out that close friends were talking about each other. Texted, tweeted and FB chatted with Kendrick (roses) the entire day. He just can't get enough of me ;)
Wednesday, I have yet errands to run for mum and also to finish packing then I have a mamak sesh with the girls from school. Roses said he wanted to join us but then it would be awkward. I'm guessing he's decided against it. 

Let me paint another picture of Sunway with the Lims.

#618 I Will Try To Fix You
Wednesday, February 15, 2012
You.
You know?
I can never fix you.
Only you can fix yourself.
All I ever said was ; I'll be here.
Don't make yourself suffer anymore.
I want to earn your trust again, one day.

All you ever do is ; Stay away, hide and cry.
I can only hope and pray for you.
You're in so much pain.
You don't ever.
Trust.
Anymore.
In me.

But I'm still here, after all the heartbreak.
You're also still here, after all the pain.
You say you don't want to but you're still here.
We're not moving along.
Maybe we won't.
So don't lie to yourself anymore.
Free yourself.
Fix yourself.
Remember, this is all about you.
Don't do what you don't want to do cause you're afraid.

Life's too short to be afraid of anything.
That's why I'm here.
