Have anyone warned you that you are about to explode at any moment after listening to your woes that you kept so deep in your heart? If so, what would be your sentiments? Would exploding bring a positive or negative outlook? Most of the time when someone who console you mentions about your impending explosion of your bottled up feelings, it refers to you loosing your mind or going insane. But for me, otherwise, exploding is a sense of relieving yourself from all that pain, hurt and stress. Exploding has, both it positive and negative effects. However, if you would notice, the positive form of exploding has a silent shadow cast upon it which grows along the way. If it grows too big, this shadow rages and swallow it.
I used to be that girl, the girl who bottled up her feelings. In situations when it gets too emotional, I would suck it in and tell myself in a high-pitched-fake-happy-voice to smile. And seriously, I was quiet good at it then. But now things are different when he came into my life. When I am down and preferred to hide in my cave he lured me out and held my hand, promising me great happiness. I was reluctant initially, hesitant about going with the flow by letting myself go so he could take care of me. Yet the persuasive talks bring me to trust him. And therefore till today, I depend on him. He care for me by allowing me to spill my tears. To explode and overflow profusely. Thats when tearing became so easy. Thats when tears become a sign of dependence, a sign of relief. From then on, it became a vicious cycle. Each time I get upset, I would not suck it in and give a big smile, I would just tear and cry and try to get things my way. Tears of relief becomes an addiction like consuming alcohol to make yourself feel better. I am not proud of this. It is sad to say that, I am not good at handling my emotions. And how shameful can that be... To an extent, that before the bottle could be filled to the top, to full brim, I poured it all out emptying it all over again. This is called low tolerance. And so, I have low tolerance towards everything. I became short tempered, sad and happy as and when I wanted to like the winds changing its direction...
Hurt... People say that when we get hurt, it teaches us to be stronger and our hearts will heal. Well I beg to differ. Getting hurt will only bring you immunity but not strength. The reason being when people associate hurt with strength because hurt teaches you a lesson never to make the same mistake again. But on the other it doesn't teach you to make the same mistake again. You become immune because you avoid making the same mistakes. Because most of the time when you get hurt you will avoid it, synonym to the phrase, " once bitten, twice shy". But it has never occurred to you the same mistakes that reappears again was left there for you to overcome it.
Maybe I am just talking crap. But there are some things that I've learned have never remind me them. So I this crap is just a reminder for me, to be strong and be bold.

Last Saturday...
It has been ages since I last updated... As we all know this is the month of fasting, a month of pure MAJOR abstinence and also the oppottuniy to rekindle ones relationship with family and friends.
Mommy, I've been a very good girl since I started fasting... I swear...
Last Saturday I had a great outing with the DUDES! (alam, sue, dilhan, fir black and alfian) Zack and me met up with them (except dilhan, he was late!) at geylang at Tanjong Pagar Complex. It was DAMN crowded that day! (well what do you EXPECT, it was the weekends...)
It was good to see them lar... It has been a while since we last saw them and hung out with them. Thay all look good and healthy lar. Alhamdulillah to that.
Especially Dilhan and Alfian, you guys looked GREAT even after suffering from the past unforutnate events.
Since Dilhan was so damn late, we decided to head down to haig road to eat. We got there quite late, at about 6.55p.m, I think. It was jam pack. The tables were almost fully occupied. But luckily for us there was one empty table left. We ordered three mee goreng (sue, alam and fir black), two me quah (Zack and alfian) and one murtabak ayam (me). We were the last to order... And you know what?! Because of the unefficient stall holders we got our food set up at the table earlier than the early birds! ahaha! Each time the Mama comes with the food in his hand announcing the the orders, we would be the one raisings our hands for the ones we ordered. And the food keeps coming and coming... Sue was quite worried that we might be taking the orders of the early birds. But then again, things turned out fine after all. Everyone got their food later but noone grumbled and they had their dinner on time. So no pressure.
Finally, when we had our fill Dilhan arrived. So after that we walked around the bazar. And satisfy our cravings with deng deng! Mmmmm Yuuuummmy! We also had telur penyuh (turtle eggs), MY FAVOURITE. Suck suck like sucking mucous into ur mouth. But for alfian its like semen la. Weirdly enough, but only for him lar... Bleargh! And then the most gross thing was that while alfian was telling Zack about a video of a girl who regurgitate and swallow back her vomit, alam got psyched by it while hearing the story which he then made a puke which darted out of his mouth and it was red-ish in colour! God, I was grossed out lar! I didnt even want to stand anywhere near him, cause I don't want to smell the lingering smell of vomit.
The heat was very intense, at the bazar so we decided to buy some snacks and head down over at Joo Chiat to chill out at the 5th floor where the place where we used to have our passports made. When we got there, we sat down and started munching into the goodies. Then they started talking all kinds of crap. Like what kind of weapons you would bring if you go back to the past during the medieval times. And the boys came up with all kinds of ideas! Like light-saber lar, catapults with broken up rocks or sharp traingular as ammos. And then the conversation led into subject on sex toys and then about terrible accidents that people faced when they do extreme sports like skateboarding. The worst I heard by far was when the scrotum tore and and the testicles dropped out... Ouch! It was very entertaining to have them around. ahahaha!! The boys talked alot of crap and talk alot of jokes which left me laughing my heads off. A day of fun. Hope we could do this again one day.
Latest news: I my interview for the teaching thing was successful. And I recieved the letter of appointment. I am happy that I got it. But then...
I got it. I am happy about it. But not as estatic or enthusiatic about it. Maybe it is because of the low pay. Deep down I felt that I could do something more. I don't know whether this is really what I want.

Getting it off, of my chest!
Some friend you ARE! You're such a hypocrite. Pot calling the kettle black. It takes one to know the other, don't you think? You are fake yourself! The thing is, it is not people's fault to judge, you gave that impression. For all I know, I know the truth and I stood by you. Bare in mind that my life do not only revolve around one person it is many. And I am setting my priority straight. I have a responsibility over myself. I don't have the kind of freedom that you get.
I've realise this. Throughout the years of our friendship, I find that I don't know you at all. It is my fault, I understand that because I was not there for you. But all this time when you call me out, ask me out, I try as much as I can within my means to be out with you. But I realise this, you don't value me. All you needed was a companion on all your outings. And you had people whom you called close friends but they jilted you in the end. And to think these people know everything even the utmost little details about you. Where do I stand? Don't forget your other half of 3 years also judged your friends. And I find it normal. So before you ask me out, ask yourself whether you value me, our friendship as we thought it should be. If not don't ask me out at all.
Wait I FORGET! It is just in the nature of a person to say one thing, but mean the other.
P.S: Might I remind you, please do hide ur big underwear no one wants to see it, esp my dad. It is so obvious, like huge a map at your back.
The point is, I stood by you.
I knew the truth...
And I stood by you.
But it don't matter to you right?
It don't.

Teacher vs. Paramedic
OKi, here it goes... I am happy that I manage to get the interview, but like I mentioned, the chances are still 50 - 50. But there is something else that I am still taking into consideration. And that is the Paramedic job. I heard about this job from a friend or should I say an aquaintance. Well, I met Salwa at the MCG Familay DAy at Eastcoast. The event was meant for alumnis to gather but sadly only 3 of us manage to make it. I think the rest are busy pursuing their careers.
So, Salwa and me began our conversation on our employment status, which she then update me on her other friends(those whom I am familliar with) on THEIR employment status. Which led me to this job, about being a Paramedic.
When I first heard it I was intrigue by its prospects in terms of the pay. It is blardie hell 1.9 la... Who wouldn't be attracted by THAT.
Well..Okay... So, the job pays you well. But nevermind the pay, I don't want to regret making rash decissions just because of a 1.9. So I got home thinking about it and gave a piece of my mind to Zack and see what he thinks... Zack as usual, he would say things like "it is up to okay, yang... i will be supportive of it." And I would usally reply him with the "what ifs" or the "contraries". Example "you wouldn't mind right if I go for it and there is alot of guys over there..." Just to play it safe. Yes, play it safe. There is nothing more you can do but to play it safe when it comes to your boyfriend. It is just like those terms and condition thing where they have some tiny prints at the bottom to say it otherwise.
Okay, there and that... He said his piece and I just leave it hanging and I didn't put a finger on it just yet. The next day, my darling and I did the usual, talking over the phone. And he brought the subject up again and said that he wouldn't encourage me to go for it because the job is tough and that I might not be able to hold my stomach well, if in case the I have to handle a disembodied head or guts flowing out of the body or what not... So, I would disagree with him and tell him that only the police handles this kind of thing. And so to rebutt, he layout all kinds of "what ifs". "What if casualty's head got smashed and you see his eye and brain spilling out and he is still alive. You would still have to send him to the hospital to save him... You'd be grossed OUT." For a minute there, ZAck did make some sense and knock some into mine as well.
So yar he is right to say that. So from that on, I didn't pursue the matter... Un-til TODAY. I blog hop into people's blog, read Shila's(she working as a paramedic) blog and read the entries on the experiences she faced.
Let's see.. PARAMEDIC, paramedic job-good pay-packed with action-1.9-good pay-1.9-hectic hours-day shift-night shift-eyebags-1.9-good pay-spilled guts-disembodied head-good pay-1.9... Hmm... that pretty much sums it up! Hell yeah! I think I would like to take that job!!!
After much consideration, I realise maybe being a pramedic would be perfect. I don't have to risk having wrinkles or pre-mature aging due to shouting and screaming which Teaching provides... And it is not about the pay, it is not about the shifts, it is not about the spilled guts, neither the action! It is about saving lives!!
Imagine brape banyak pahele I will get if I were to become a paramedic.
It is what I have always wanted to do since young. I always wanted to be a doctor, to save lives. But I wasn't smart enough. I missed my chances by doing a DAE(direct admission exercise) into RP for biomedical sciences after forgoing the course that the goverment has chosen for me which is Nursing in NYP... Now, I can be a paramedic and save lives. Yeay!!
But on the other hand, Teaching serves a better prospect. Though the pay is not that good for a start. But I can pursue Dip. in Education and from there, Insyallah, if I study hard I can do a degree in Science education... And with a degree, I can widen my options even more.
Paramedic or Teacher? Paramedic or Teacher? I am simply flummoxed. Let's see how it goes, this Tuesday, with the interview. Let God decide...
If you hear me..up there... Please save my soul guide me to the right job and right path. I want to have a good and decent future.

Hot! Hot! HOT!
"Ah Mak! Can you please find me that kind of husband!!! I want Americano-KOreanO mix one ah! I want someone exactly like Daniel Henney! I desperate!"
He is so hot! He is so good looking! I wanna eat him...
I was watching a movie with my sister, last night. It was a korean MOvie, titled "Seducing Mr. Perfect". I am a sucker for Korean Movies, especially the the romantic, comedic and sappy ones. Hah! Well anywayz... Where was I? Oh yar, the movie that I watched? I was expecting to see some typical Korean actor when I saw this damn good looking guy! I was so in shock that during the whole movie, it was accompanied by my shriek and shriels whenever it was some hot scene. (eg. shirtless scene) I mean of all the Korean actors that I admire, this one stood out. He has nice feature, great built, lovely hairstyle (short hairstyle, I like it short *hint*) and best of all, he looks well in a corporate outfit! Did I mention that he has a natural pout?! Yar, he has!! His looks goes well with a Ray Ban shades ah! Oh, I'm gonna faint... Stay calm, Shikin..stay calm...
