When She's Around...

Hello!
A fine day today. My cousin Tania came over and we decided to bake cupcakes.
Here are some pics



the batter








our favorite frosting


the final result




Then I spent the rest of my day lying on my bed, watching the last song and the perks of being a wallflower. Life's good.
So far holiday has been really great.
Have a great holiday people!

Bliss


Sementara, 
Teduhlah hatiku.
Tidak lagi jauh,
Belum saatnya kau jatuh.
(Sementara by Float)
****************************************************


How are we already in 2013 in 20 days? Time flies.
Anyway, so far, December has been amazing. Everything is going great. I'm still going through the same routine, but now I feel like I can see things differently, in a whole different perspective. A huge decrease in complaining and whining, and everything is just.. beautiful. 
Despite all the struggles and the obstacles, the ups-and-downs, 
The world is, indeed, a very beautiful place.

Enjoy your last month of 2012 people! :)

it's almost two in the morning.

it is almost two in the morning and i can't sleep yet. i am left lying down on my bed, overwhelmed, completely eaten by my own thoughts. my heart pounds as the thoughts of things i wish i did not do, things i wish i did differently, things i wish i did right, flows through my mind, slowly yet steadily. i am left wondering how things would be right now if i took a second thought, how my life would be gazillion times better right now if i did things differently.
the times i wish i could rewind and fix the things i didn't do right...

it is almost two in the morning and regret is all that's left.

Sabtu malam

Halo.
Setelah beberapa lama mengabaikan blog, akhirnya lumayan kangen juga dan terdorong untuk nulis lagi.
Penyakit lama nih.. Entah kenapa dari dulu setiap  bikin blog ngga pernah awet, setelah beberapa bulan selalu kena writer's block dan blognya lumayan terabaikan... yang biasanya beberapa bulan kemudian malah malu baca tulisan sendiri, terus ujung ujungnya delete blog.

Hidup saya akhir akhir ini... membaik. Bisa dilihat di post saya sebelum sebelumnya, mayoritas post saya isinya cuma mencurahkan kemarahan, atau kesedihan. Saya baru sadar, ternyata saya belum pernah sekalipun bikin post yang senang.

Nah, akhir akhir ini... Entah kenapa saya merasa hidup saya membaik. Dalam semua hal. Padahal semuanya masih sama saja. Jadwal yang sama, rutinitas yang sama, bertemu orang orang yang sama. Tapi entah kenapa akhir akhir ini rasanya lebih menyenangkan.

Beberapa minggu yang lalu adalah periode dimana saya sedang mengalami hari hari yang tidak menyenangkan. Dan rasanya semua hal hal tidak menyenangkan itu kayak domino. Saat satu hal bermasalah,  saya jadi bad mood, lalu hal hal lain dalam hari itu semuanya menjadi bermasalah. Semakin saya merasa hidup saya bermasalah, semakin bermasalahlah hidup saya.

Mungkin benar kata orang orang, what you resist persists. Mungkin itu alasan mengapa semakin saya merasa buruk pada suatu keadaan, semakin memburuk keadaan itu. Semakin saya mencoba lepas dari suatu situasi yang buruk, saya malah makin terikat dengan keadaan itu. Semakin saya bersyukur terhadap sesuatu, sesuatu itu menjadi makin baik.
Dan saya selalu berusaha mengingatkan diri saya bahwa dalam setiap hal, bahkan dalam cobaan pun, selalu ada sesuatu untuk disyukuri.
Cuma, ya.... Kadang kadang, gagal. Kadang emosi menghalangi saya untuk berpikir jernih.
Sekarang saya berharap kondisi seperti ini bisa bertahan terus, dan agar saya bisa bersyukur dalam masalah sekalipun :)


Oiya, hari ini saya menemukan lagu yang sangat enak didengar. Judulnya Moon and Sun. Saya sudah memencet replay di video ini berkali kali... Selain karena lagunya enak, videonya diambil dari salah satu TV show kesukaan saya, Grey's Anatomy.


"We always felt so good together"


Wherever you are and whatever you are doing right now,
Have a great saturday night people :)

28/10


I'm drowning in furiousity I feel like flaying everyone right now. I feel like stabbing someone's chest repeatedly . I feel like sticking someone to the wall with a nailgun. I feel like choking someone to death.
I don't know, I feel like people are just damn noisy right now and every single thing they do irritates me.
I'm so mad right now my heart races...
I don't even know why.
And right now I'd kill only to break free.


I once heard that sleep deprivation will make your emotion goes haywire.. Heck, now I know what it feels like. Lack of sleep really stirs me up inside.
Or maybe, this is just the side effect of, you know, that time of the month.
Or maybe this has nothing to do with anything, maybe it's just me and my weird twisted mind.

Okay I feel a tad bit better now.
Have a nice day people.

22.50

and in silence, she cried. the fact she's gradually losing her sanity kills her.
she's tired of losing sight of what she really wants and she wandered around trying to find direction but she ended up going nowhere. she's lostttttttttt and she's slowly losing her sanity.

Tapi saya lelah

Ini bukan untuk kamu

Forgive me.
For I have sinned
For I have been out of track
For I have been damn indecisive,
For I have caused you a lot of frustration.

I've done wrong, and I'm sorry.
Please, please
Don't rush time,
Don't lose faith.

Never thought I'd lose my direction this way.

It was a cold night in early 2012 when I finally found the courage I never knew that I had been hiding under my skin in between my bones. I guess I was just saving it for the right time after all those years and I guess that night was it, the night that I was so convinced that I had the guts. I stood in the doorway at the bottom of the stairs. The cold air rushed in through the open door and shook the trees but my courage and my strong will held me still. I took my steps in and there it was, there you were. Perplexed, I stood there with frozen hands and frozen stares. My heart raced. ; I stood there still, astounded, never thought that I could be brought that far.

I was in the verge to burst in tears of joy when I found that the same night, was the end of  everything. All the things I thought I'd had, I never got to see.

I never wanted to remember it the way I do, but that was not something I could change.

I found the courage once before, I'm hoping to find it again soon.
Please, please, I'd kill only to find it back. Please, let me find back the courage I once had.

illegal bliss

there i go,
breaking my walls again.
trusting ones i should not trust,
going the path i should never have taken.



there's this perilous place everyone talks about, 
i once thought that it is safe to just wander around, i'll find my way back anyway.

"Run away while you still have the chance, run away before it's too late", you said.
but i was so obstinate about my decision, i walk a little further, i ran a little faster.

i'm in.

LOST

Berharap pada kemungkinan yang kecil,
Yang bahkan sebenarnya keberadaan kemungkinan itu masih dipertanyakan.

Memang, kadang optimis dan muluk beda tipis.

laper

I once heard that easily distracted people are usually more creative than regular people.
I must be really creative then :)

it's 1:46 a.m and I'm still stuck on my physics worksheets. Physics midterm test 5 hours and I'm not ready yet.
Even when I intended to open physics past papers, I ended up here, writing this post. And in front of me are 5 tabs consisting of blogger, facebook, tumblr and youtube... Damn I got distracted so easily.

So far AS level has been really frustating. I mean really really frustating. I thought IGCSE was the hardest but CIE proved me wrong. Pfff

I'm going back to physics then
Sleep tight people
Good night

and God... I can never thank you enough.

August 2012 has probably been one of the greatest months in my life. 
I passed the 1st selection. My IGCSE result has been announced and i'm pretty proud of myself. Met a bunch of old friends. Had a lot of unexpected yet exciting talks. I get to know a lot of friends much better than before. Bought some stuffs from my wish list. Heard a lot of new songs. Earned some cash. Apologized and forgave. 
And I was brought much closer to this guy than I was before.  

August has been pretty awesome so far.
And once again, God, I can never thank you enough.
Hope everyone's also having a great time! :)

02:02 and i'm bored as hell

hi.

i just downloaded the Overexposed album... and I love it. My favorite songs are Sad and Wipe Your Eyes, I've been repeating both since 3 hours ago.

 i took a nap and a sip of coffee after lunch and now i can't sleep. my bad.
and i have to be up in 2 hours. duh. and i'm having a chem quiz in 8 hours.
wish me luck!

chem test... right. i'm in science class, i've made up my mind.
i don't know why, though.

i don't usually talk about my problems on blogger but frankly, i'm quite scared seeing most of my friends making plans and decisions on following their dreams. Most of them already have that clear image of what and where they're going t to be 10 years from now, and what they are going to major in.
while i'm sitting here not knowing what my passion really is. i mean i like economics, i like math and i like physics and stuffs but i'm don't like them enough to take them(or one of them) as my major. like everything's vague and i don't even know what i really want. my friends keep reminding me that i just haven't found my passion yet and i'm going to, soon, but who knows?

i'm afraid of taking the wrong turn. afraid of walking a wrong route and and afraid of not being able to come back, to start everything all over again.
God, lead me.

A New Start?

hello there! it's been a while since the last time I actually wrote something due to IGCSE and final exam and other school stuffs. Since the exams are finally over now I'm going to start writing again. I am now running to be a part of the student council, and there's still a long way to run so... wish me luck.

Anyway, I just came back from Singapore. My 4-day-trip to spore was probably one of the best since i had Tania, my 14 y.o cousin, to keep me company. It's my first time travelling abroad with her. We share the same taste in fashion and music and stuffs since we were just toddlers. it's so nice to have her around, especially when it comes to shopping. we walked around from orchard central to ion, from 5pm until closing time every night. Duh, i miss her already.

Oh ya, I just found this beautiful song from one of my favorite bands on earth. Coldplay :)



Oh no, I spun a web and it's tangled up with me.

I never meant to cause you trouble, 
and I never meant to do you wrong.
