070707

Longg longgg time agoo.. maybe in the year 2000.. I used to joke with my friends and said that I'd get married on 070707.. July 7th 2007 because I like the number 7 and I've checked that it's a Saturday..

I can't believe that it's already coming.. 070707.. wow..... it feels like a million years away since the first time I said that about 7 years ago.. N boy am I wrong.. I'm so far away from getting married..

just thought that it's funny..

Way Back Into Love

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need them again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's gotta be something for my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions

All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end

There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end

'Tis

Here it is 2.47am in the morning. Here I am, eating a fried mochi with sesame filling. Crying myself to sleep for dunno-how-many-days in a row.

If there's only a medicine for the pain, I would gladly take one right now. Had I been back in LA, I'd be gulping down another bottle of sweet wine then spilling some on my laptop and 'd be buying my third laptop. Puking by the front door of my bathroom, dizzy dragging myself by the sink and 3 minutes it's gone before I start scrambling for napkins to wash off the puke and the wine off my laptop.

Maybe I'll be smarter this time, choosing the eed over the ine. Always a first for something they say.

So foolish of me to try to drown one sorrow with another. A lesson not thoroughly learnt by time.

Just perused a third of 'Tis and that's probably where the satire and irony from.

what is love?

i used to scorn at people who give up their dreams for their partners..

I'd say "Why.. but that is aburd!! What if you guys don't work out in the future? what if you give up something so big for something that doesn't work out?"

And that's just so me.. to not want to take risk for something uncertain. To always put my future above my partner's in life.

The funny thing is I think now I'm changing. Maybe it's the age, maybe it's the internal clock ticking. But now I understand that love needs sacrifice.. if you think a success is not worth pursuing without your loved one by your side, you should def sacrifice the one that matters less..

hahaha okay so I say I'm starting to understand.. doesn't mean that I myself will do so

miss LA

i miss
1. being able to drive around by myself

5. being able to walk in the greeneries and smell the fresh air
6. doing yoga
7. shopping
8. healthy, home-cooked meals

Summer is Here!

Yaiii I'm in indo and summer is here................. but on the other hand, I'm having a pretty bad sore throat which usually gets worse if I get out of my house.. ( read : the weather in Jakarta is sooo bad. it's like rainy season n summer season are mixed up) bouhou

Paris update : he's with Natasha now and Natasha has just reported that Paris is sleeping next to her on her bed now. Usually he sleeps in his crate when he's with me. Nat has also reported that she had just bought a vest and a t-shirt for Paris.

I have an OMINOUS feeling that Paris won't want to return to my place after I head back to LA.

Now let's analyze if I like jakarta. I am here for three months to analyze the prospect of me returning to Indonesia for good after my MBA:
The weather is bad.. hot humid polluted
The people are fine.. you have your 'personal helpers', drivers, bla bla bla. Friends are here. Family is here.
The house is good. U don't need to pay rent... but then again I doubt I can live with my parents after my MBA. I don't know if I can stay in a house where the rules are not updated since I left the house at 16. But living in an apartment by myself is not an option in Indonesia either. SSheeesshh

we'll ssee.. maybe i should go to singapore instead or hongkong..
