till the end - your promise

TILL THE END

All these precious moments
With you by my side
Must be a gift from heaven
That's holding me all night

I don't know how I found you
I'm thankful that I have
Now that I have a love so true
To hold, to keep, to share

*
In my heart I can no longer hold inside
All of the love I used to hide
I'll always be with you until the very end
In this world there in no place I'd rather be
You are my life, my soul, my girl
You through it all I know
That you've come to see that you're the one till the end

All my friends around me
Say you'd be gone too soon
Baby I'm gonna make them see
We've found our way back home


We'll always be till the end

i will never forget... ...

its been 4 months...

i will never forget that day you held your big palms out to me.

i will never forget the butterfly flutters the moment you held my hands so tightly.

i will never forget the many little surprises that you will plan just to see me smile.

i will never forget how you will buy me my favourite food even if it meant Q-ing up.

i will never forget you gave up your resting time just to travel across the island to look for me.

i will never forget how you always hug me and tell me everything will be alright when i feared.

i will never forget the long talks into the nights, when hearing your voice just means happiness.

i will never forget how you agreed to pen your thoughts down just because i love to read them.

i will never forget how you always try to capture every moment we spent together.

i will never forget how you would buy medicine in hopes to make me get well soon.

i will never forget how you will nag me to sleep early so that i will not fall sick.

i will never forget you woke up early just to make breakfast for me so that i could sleep in longer.

i will never forget you will tell me its alright that i am late because you want to sleep more.

i will never forget you told me 'you're pretty' even though i was all in a messy unglam state.

i will never forget how you poke me for being so blur but still willingly be my guiding lamp.

i will never forget how you would burn the mid-night oil just to fold paper cranes only because you want to keep your promise to me.

i will never forget how you will always try to listen to me voice my feelings though i make you wait endlessly for even a little word to come out of my mouth.

i will never forget you, though being hot tempered, never once raised your voice at me in anger.

i will never forget the moments we said to each other we will be together till the end... ...

grandmother's love

the other day (i think it was last sat), i visited grand. as usual she was all smiles to see me, but i wasnt all in a too pretty mood thanks to my terribly itching face. must be the fault of overdose pimple cream. so in my last resort to stop myself from disfiguring my own precious face, i asked grand if she had snake brand antiseptic powder to help me cure the itch. unfortunately she only had the lavender version of it which wasnt as strong as the original one. but nonetheless, it still did helped eased my itch for some time.

today i was just looking at the shelf outside my mother's room and saw a huge tin of snake powder, original version. i thought it was my mother who got it again on top of the smaller one i bought. but to my surprise, she said thats given by grand.

aww what a sweet loving grand. i used to think she loves me inside her heart, but really she loves me inside her heart and she shows them with the little little kind thoughts of hers. what a grand she is!

a little more Atas

from now on, i shall make myself a little more atas.

i shall buy clothes that are slightly more expensive so that when the boyfriend shows off his new possessions when he goes out with me, i don't feel like an ugly ducking next to him.

p/s. but seriously, he doesn't really care if i go out all unglamorous and ugly >.<

hello Unglam Ugly CROCS!!!

bite you BIte you, BITE you!!!

friends, they see it clearer

yesterday was our so called 'meet-the-friends- session.

they said this :

Joanne...

'she doesn't know how to say NO.'

'she will always appear single and available even if she's not'

well, i think its really true.

sometimes i just dont know how to say NO. saying NO always leave me with the feeling of guilt. he was right to tell me, being nice, there is a limit, a line to be drawn to it. and i think i never knew where to draw this line. its a line that crossing it on one side will lead others into misunderstanding me, and crossing the other side, will make others think i am just being pure nasty and arrogant. there is a balance to everything, and its a balance i dont know how much weight to put on each side, with one side being too heavily loaded.

i need to learn how to draw the line NOW!

105 days of summer

its been a long long 105 days of summer, and it has finally come to an end.

these 105 days of summer was one of the longest and most dreaded period of my life. but i still thank it, at least i did it and i have walked out of it as a wiser and stronger person. if the internship did not teach me much stuff related to my studies, it did definitely taught me a great deal of life lessons. and for that, i ought to give thanks.

GOOD BYE internship and BIG HELLO to my last precious week of summer!
