because it ain't necessarily so
Foreword.


I am forced by the passing of time, the transition of life stages, and the expectations of society to grow up and to behave like a "grown-up" (whatever that would constitute). But here, I would just be a little childish, a little self-centered, a little irresponsible, a little too honest but also a little too pretentious.

24, and still counting.



Flashback.

Kept all my past posts intact because my past was what made me, me. Deleting them doesn't change who I am so I revisit my memories sometimes, to learn and to laugh at my past mistakes.

(Just kidding, I revert some posts to drafts because I'm utterly embarrassed.)

Sometimes , I need space .
Thursday, September 26, 2013 | 10:06 PM



But today is not one of those days . (continuing the line from the title) :p Photo taken during one of my mugging session in school with Isabelle during the holidays . (well , she cant be seen cause obviously someone has to take the photo right?) Have i ever mentioned how much i love her ? I think in this whole world , other than my brother , only she will be able to relate to my family issues . :') Speaking of family issues , I guess only people who have really know KNOW me , (i apologize for my inability to execute accurately what you guys call the English vocabulary :/) knows that i actually have seriously strict parents . You know , those kind of extremely traditional mindset and stubborn and strict parents you see on television ?

I guess from what i portray , either on the social network or when i hang around people , i dont seem like i'm weighed down by family issues . Yes i know i do go out alone but truth be told i was seldom given the permission to . :x And i guess i am a true living testimony of "the strictest parents raise the best liars" . I really dont mean to you know , lie about what i do , who i befriend , and where i go and stuffs but you know , a hungry lioness didn't mean to devour its cubs either right ? (Please , correct me if i am wrong or else i will just look like an idiot ... or rather , give me a better animal for comparison LOL) The lying thing . Has become somewhat like a survival instinct . ... I need to save my own skin . ... Actually it's more for my selfish happiness .

And happiness . ... I think i've gotten a lot of it lately . :X Yes despite the exam stress and all . Because there's my certain special someone recently seems to be ... Hmmm how do i put it ... More lovable ? He doesn't use to (and by use to i mean like last year and start of this year) want me as much . Last time when he wanted to find me , it didn't use to be "just because i want to see you" (well , typing "i miss you" is too mainstream and too predictable to be mentioned , although the message is the same) Knowing that you're wanted by the person whom you put as first priority in your heart and hold so dearly , it's .... there's no happier feeling really . ... Other than being with him of course :x Yes i'm a die-hard romantic at heart :x And there you go . First-hand , seldom-publicized (tragic?) love story of le Teh Ah LOL . .... There's nothing else that cans (yes i am aware of my horrible grammar) make me as happy like him de :x (Oh other than scoring an A for Chemistry of course)


But for everything in life , there is always two sides to a coin . (: So after saying the romantic happenings that people like to hear , here is reality knocking at our doors . There is no such thing as a perfect love story . So here’s just a small part of the problems I face with him yeah ? (And thinking about it , this also made me discover more about myself , what a little devil I really am) De other day I was just being the same , thinking about him and missing him (yes I am trying to stop being so dependent on him for my own happiness but he is also making up for the family love that I lacks you see .... If you’re going to judge me or lecture me , please , step into my shoes first , smell le hong kong feet and then decide whether you wanna say what you wanna say.)

So yours truly went to call him as I was missing him . Guess what . I was greeted with “What the fuck! Call me for what.. Im in the middle of something.” ....... Yes let the shock sink in ........ Immediately I could feel myself turning cold . (The kind of Antarctica cold where you just wanna RIP OFF someone’s fur coat and make them STING from the cold icy winds WITH you) I already cannot stand people swearing around me , so I totally cannot bear anyone swearing AT me . Much less him . After hanging up on him , I typed this text to him: “Sorry I called . Shouldn’t do something so stupid anymore . What if next time you are planning to jump down 50 storey and because of my call , you changed your mind . That would be a tragedy wont it ?” ... Yes I am mean .

But of course I din send that out . Being me , I gave him the cold shoulder instead . Yes I don’t do hot wars but cold wars . Because the warmth one feels from the fire , does not hurt as much as the chills of the ice . Because fighting against someone else is easier than the person leaving you and you have to fight with yourself . And you DO NOT want your enemy's life to be easy . (: So after ignoring his messages for about 10 hours , I replied (why not 24 hours you say? Because a big part of me still misses him and can’t live without him I guess.) I texted him : “She’s supposes to be that annoying person you adore. She says corny shit, but it makes you smile. She says dumb shit, but you know she’s just worried. She tells you how she feels all the time so you don’t forget that you mean everything to her. When you fight, she goes to bed sick to her stomach. And stays that way until you make up. You’re the only thing that makes everything better but”

“You hurt her with all the fuck you said and gave .
So now she shall hurt you with all the fuck that she don’t give.”

I din send out the part that got the swear words of course , actually I end at the word ‘but’ to leave him hanging . And I leave it to your imagination . About what I could have , should have and would have said (but didn’t) . However , it made me realize how much of a mean person I can be . How badly i want to manipulate my words until someone will curl up in pain on the same level as me (Yes there were worse ones but I suddenly cant remember what I said . Or maybe my brain cells just decide to do some selective memory thingy for me) .... Anyhow , does the things I hide , make me more of a devil though ? ... I am seventeen and I am suffering from an identity crisis.


Back to the happier side of le Teh Ah's life coin . For a JC life in RV ... I think i've gotten the best end of it . I like being in a class where there aint no stress (you know those crazy mugger people who all they talk about ishh homework/projects/academics/portfolio everyday? aint my cup of tea tyvm) and i'm so so so grateful for a class where there aint no fake people (with people like that .... i really cannot ....) So ... Here's to my JC life that i've been looking forward to since primary school . P: and if there really some sort of powerful and Godly being up there ... PLEASE I DONT WANNA RETAIN PLEASE LET ME STAY WITH THEM .

The photos were taken during our recent class lunches this September . The above was taken in Pizzahut in JP and the bottom one was taken in IKEA . I really really do appreciates each and everyone of them who tries to make it and even though i dont get to spend my ideal amount of time with each one of them , (because there is just that many number of people you can interact with at one time right?!) it's great just to feel their presences around ! .... is my cheesiness kicking in ? Yes i will try to maintain ... :X And although undeniably , we still have cliques within our small number of 22 , ultimately , 5F'13 still feels very "wholly" (sounds like HOLY doesnt it :p yes i am PUNny ... or is yours truly trying to hard?) to me ^^ And it's evident that this year whizzed by WAYYYYY too fast and every time i think about it , i feel very empty knowing that my years in RV is soon gonna come to an end ... The familiar faces , routines , environment , things-i-hate-and-complain-about , routes , culture .... NO WONDER MANY RV-ians COME BACK TO TEACH IN RV !

Back to talking about my JC1 class . One thing that i must really mention which yours truly learnt after meeting them this year , is to never ever judge someone before you truly know them . Yes it's something one says nearly every other day but this really struck me only after i enter JC1 . It is common knowledge and practice that in year 3 and 4 , rumors are flying , we specialize in stalking and gossips are our main supply of entertainment and topic for conversations . I bet i am not the only one who , before entering Le JC1 class , look through the list of those who are gonna be in your class and 1) find familiar names ; 2) watch out for names to be wary of (well, because at that time the only thing you know about the person are the rumors you hear about them) and 3) form a potential group of people who you see yourself hanging out with . ... That was me about 9 months ago .

Today my opinions and impressions of almost everyone has changed . (Yes some are still weirdos that yours truly lacks the brain cells to comprehend) And while i love , or is saying 'bask in' more appropriate (?), the company of some more and more (like Huimin , Divya , MiaoYe , JiaLing , Yiling) on top of Kaiwen , Janice , Shirley and Brangelina (okays thinking of them reminds me of some inside jokes that is really funny and while i really love to share , the fun part of it all , is that IT IS AN INSIDE JOKE) OH AND OMG DID I JUST FORGET TO MENTION WAIHONG ?! HAHAHHAHA (he was warning me not to post about him but hahahah challenged accepted!) On the other hand , while i was at first neutral with some people , after hanging out with them , their actions , behavior and mindset really made me go like "omg so (that person) is like this de ah...? ewwww?"
Disclaimer: PARDON ME IF YOURS TRULY SOUND BIMBOTIC. It's just a weird tendency.

This girl in the middle turns 17 today . Tell yall a very interesting story okays?! So yours truly always thought that she is not quite a gullible person but this Kaiwen , she kept up with the lie (that does nobody any benefits btw) for so long , since I started knowing her in January , that I bought her lie and only found out that i was deceived by her all this while a few days ago ... Heres how it goes : From the class list , we saw that her birthday is on 26th September . But she told us that that is not her real birthday and that her real birthday is on 31st December but her parents want her to join our batch that's why they changed her birthday to 26th September (which is also her parent's anniversary date if i am not wrong... or is it honeymoon...? okays not the main point) so as to guarantee her a spot in the 1996 batch .

When i first hear it , I didn't buy it of course . But for the past 9 months that i knew her , she just keep trying to convince me LOL and i din know when , but somehow along the way , i believed her .... (only to find out the painful (yes let me exaggerate please) truth a few days ago) . Decided to blog about this so that years down the road , when she search her name and her birth date , she might come across this post and remember what an annoying and wu liao person she had been . LOL hahahha . But of course she has been forgiven because i think i've been more annoying to her like ... HAHAHHA no i shall preserve my own reputation :p
And with all my love and gratefulness for her being with me , I hope that she will have a great life and not just a great birthday ahead . Marrying the guyS (yeap guy with an ‘S’ behind . Wait ... Omg did I just made a pun there without meaning to ? Hahahha) that she wants and nurturing to become a knowledgeable , sophisticated and independent woman that I foresee her to be :P
