| to you, from zen |
[Jan. 31st, 2010|02:09 pm] |
I would tell you to conquer Zen, but it is not something
that can be conquered. Instead, it soaks through your
skin and into your soul. It, conversely, conquers you
in all of its subtlety, like osmosis. The essence
overtakes you before the realization, like a frog in
boiling water. All of a sudden in clicks, but there
is no panic. Rather, there is peace, a feeling of
comfort, almost nirvana. Your whole body – your
mind and your toes and your soul – are at home |

i barely have any inspiration to write posts on lj anymore. i used to love reflecting about life here. writing poems at odd hours in the night. 2010 seems a very different year for me. I've always labelled my years on how i feel it benefits me. 2009 was all about learning and 2008 was about experiencing success given your hard work. this year is all about changing. becoming someone new, trying new things. 20 years old is quite some feat and to look back at the years since i moved back to Singapore has been some roller coaster movie. nevertheless i am happy with the way things have turned out, sometimes sad at unfortunate events. that is why i see this year as a time to leave behind those years and change. i don't know why the sudden change, i think it's the fact that i'm going to be 20 this year. to me it's like no longer being young and careless. kinda thinking its more of proving to others you're grown up.
School's been hectic this week. been one of this sudden bouts of heavy workload. there's still statistics and results section to be written up for our research paper. somehow I'm getting the hang of this course already. late i must say. I remember last year when I'd complain always. fuck i just realised school's at 9. i need to get off. this entry seems cut short because of my sudden realization. heh heh. anyway, i will try and update on my life soon. in the meantime, please read/watch a beautiful mind. it is quite simply my favorite movie ever. sorry i am sam and eternal sunshine and the butterfly effect. this motherfucker just took yo spot! oh yeah, and please listen to local boy in the photograph - stereophonics. totally bombarded my ipod this week!
goodnight.
But who am I to say let's all just run away
Go grab your fancy pay we're gonna rule the world today
Let's watch this city burn the world
Let's watch this city burn
From the skylights on top of the world
Till there's nothing left of her
Let's watch this city burn the world |

I learned to let go of things
that I can’t really hold.
I learned to latch on to the ones
that I want to call my own.
I learned to jump headfirst,
into the unknown.
I learned to leap before looking
where I might go. |

i think life is all about learning. everything thing you do or receive, you learn from it. i usually build myself upon the saying as cliche as it sounds- live life to no regrets. because it actually is true, and after a long 2009 I've experienced so much and learned so much about myself and other people. Whether bad shit happens to you, you lose a friendship, someone close to you passes away. you should learn to take it in stride. pick up the pieces and move on, take it in and head up chest out. because really at the end of the day you've learned what there is, and only being in that situation again, you'll appear stronger.because what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. |

| the new year. |
[Jan. 2nd, 2010|04:24 pm] |
seems like I've found some time to write a post. 2009 i guess is finally over. finally because ive been dying to ring in a new year. new starts, second chances new self. last year was by far the most challenging and exciting year for me. some people came in to my life, some have established that form of true friendship built to last, while others are departed.
it's hard to believe that this coming year i'm going to be 20. means one year sooner to my own life. it's also hard to believe that in this coming decade it's about to determine my entire future, my job, the type of car i drive, the country i stay, the friends i have. I'm looking very forward to 2010 though. it's definitely the start of something new, last year in school, first internship, new friends.ah well, if you've got resolutions stick t them, if you don't don't.
adios.
So this is the new year.
And i don't feel any different.
The clanking of crystal
Explosions off in the distance (in the distance).
So this is the new year
And I have no resolutions
For self assigned penance
For problems with easy solutions
So everybody put your best suit or dress on
Let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
As thirty dialogs bleed into one
I wish the world was flat like the old days
Then i could travel just by folding a map
No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways
There'd be no distance that could hold us back.
