end of the year..

end of the year.. dun like it. sumhow never did. year after year, it always manage to make me feel melancholic, depressive, emo... no different this year. *sigh* dunno y this time tho. just is. my guess wld probably be becoz its when the realization hit that, i'm still at the same spot as i was last year & the year before & the year before that.. everything changed but yet nothing much has changed. i'm not even making any sense now.. hmm...

2009 in some part was mighty exciting and fun-filled but at the same time it was cruel in so many ways.

If I am lost for a day
try to find me
but if I don't come back then I won't look behind me
and all of the things that I thought were so easy
just got harder and harder each day

december is darkest
in june there's the light
but this empty bedroom
won't make anything right
while out on the landing
a friend I forgot to send home
who waits up for me
all through the night

calendar girl who's in love with the world
stay alive!

I dreamed I was dying as I so often do
and when I awoke I was sure it was true
I ran to the window
threw my head to the sky
and said whoever is up there
please don't let me die

but I can't live forever
I can't always be
one day I'll be sand on a beach by the sea
the pages keep turning
I mark off each day with a cross
and I'll laugh about all that we've lost

calendar girl
who is lost to the world
stay alive

calendar girl who is lost to the world
stay alive!

Here's hoping 2010 would be much, much better. Pretty Please!

I See You

Totally loving the new Mika's album - The Boy Who Knew Too Much. And my favouritest songs in it is I See You followed by By This Time..

I See You appeared on Gossip Girl Season 3, Episode 8. Loved the scene, heartbreakingly beautiful.


I See You by Mika

I'm standing across from you
And dreaming of the things I do
I don't speak, you don't know me at all

For fear of what you might do
I say nothing but stare at you
And I'm dreaming
I'm trippin' over you

Truth be told
My problems solved
You mean the world to me but you'll never know
You could be cruel to me
While we're risking the way that I see you
That I see you [3x]
That I see

Conversations
Not me at all
I'm hesitating
Only to fall
And I'm waiting, I'm hating everyone

Could it be you fell for me?
And any possible similarity
If its all, how would I know?
You never knew me at all but I see you
But I see you [4x]

I'm standing across from you (But I see you)
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do (But I see you)
I'm standing across from you (But I see you)
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do (But I see you)

Truth be told, my problem solved
You mean the world to me
But you'll never know
You could be cruel to me
While we're risking the way that I see you
But I see you [4x]

I'm standing across from you (But I see you)
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do (But I see you)
[4x]

But I see you
But I see you
But I see you

no regrets


conversation with myself:

so, step by step, i manually erased him... coz that machine above don't exist hahah!

"is your life better now?"

yeah, i think so. i believe so. i'm certainly not in a black hole anymore. i'm a much more positive person at the moment and i hope i can truly savour this and keep this for as long as i can. funnily enough, all this work, all this writing and the staying at home is making me feel so much better and like on top of my game. and i just want to be happy, i truly do. law of attraction rite?

"no regrets?"

hmm.. i'm done. he wasn't worth it, and he made his choice. and i think as much as he rejected me, i also pushed him away. so i'm done. i'm surely letting go. but one thing i don't utterly understand that well till today is why did God put him in my path on & off for so many years? why? he was out, and i was doing kinda fine, but then he walked in again, and drove me to madness.

i know there are lessons for me to learn here. And i think one of them could be that the recent heartaches happened so that i can finally and truly get him out of my system. he was my Zahir for such a long, long time and somehow within that span of time, i guess i idealize him to be something he clearly wasnt and i was like in love with the idea of him, and i didnt truly see the reality of him. not that the reality meant he was a murderer or rapist la kn hahaha. but i just saw in him what i wanted to see and ignored how he truly was. he wasn't even a good friend to me, i wasn't important to him and i ignored that fact for the longest time coz i was holding on to his old words. the other day, i somehow went and checked out my Friendster account, and while i was clearing out the inbox i stumbled upon old messages and there was a few from FH, from wayyyyyyy back when he first found me again after 14 years of 'separation' haha. The message was dated sumtime in 2004 and in the 2nd message (the first message was a question whether i was the rite person or not la), in it he wrote "promise me u won't leave me again" (i've deleted everything so i dun really remember the right wording la haha) and i replied "ok, i promise". I dunno if from that point to this day today, he changed or what, but i felt as if he was a different person back then in 2004, he was gentler maybe? yes he used the same ammo, same tactic la kirenye, but there was sumthing more sincere in that Friendster message than the recent ones. if he did change, i wonder what happened to him in between. Anyway, what i did realize from reading that was, regardless of his part in all of this, i still broke a promise there, i left, and a promise is broken. I guess some promises are just not meant to be fulfilled. as is the saying "there's a reason why some ppl from your past, don't make it to your future".

Anyhoo, there was another hard lesson i identified and it was of coz the big K. Karma babeh! When i dumped my ex, i was so afraid that one day i'll get my 'just dessert', my karma, and becoz of that i think it was one of the big reason i stayed away from relationship. and for me to stay away i rejected lots and lots of guys, in some not very nice way actually - the abrupt silence, the permanently offlines or the 'who is this, do i know u' way. but then somehow the feelings for FH was just there all along and when i found out about the engagement, i was so hurt and devastated that i thot 'hey this is it, this is my karma' BUT was i wrong!!! ohhh, karma wasn't done with me yet at that point. nope, it decided to give me HOPE when FH waltz back into my life.. and just when i managed to convinced myself that maybe this is fate, maybe HE is my fate and i was filled to the brim with hope.. - right then & there, karma swooped in, slapped my face, twisted my heart and filled it with such a gut-wrenching pain that i've never felt before and pulled and pushed my soul to the deepest, darkest despair and utterly drove my mind to madness! With that i know how it felt to truly, truly be heartbroken - something my ex probably felt when i left. Karma was served to me in a really, really big platter. oo karma baby, u are such a bitch!! haha. yes ppl, for me i truly believe karma exist, so my advice - be careful how u treat ppl. i know now that i shld treat ppl, especially the guys that come in, nicer and respectfully. and i also know i shld give deserving ppl a chance and not be so hypercritical. and if i dun like a guy in 'that' way ke ape ke, i think i shld try to tell them honestly and tactfully and dun keep them hanging coz now i truly know how that feel and its such a sucky feeling!

"so did you wish that God never put him in your path?"

There were moments when i truly wished that God never made me meet him ever, never put us in each others way righttttt from the start, back when we were 9. I had a moment where i was angry at God for all of this but bit by bit, i accepted that this was just my path, my qada and qadar. FH is part of my lessons to learn in life and who am I to question God's will and plans rite? At the very least i got to know this charming boy back then in school and also i get to have an interesting plot and storyline for my life story rite? xde lah mundane and uneventful sgt my life kn? haha.

"what now? are you truly over him?"

well, i've put him in this small little box and has buried him deep, deep down in me haha! The feelings i had before and the feelings that i have now is just different. he doesnt preoccupy my mind or my heart or my dreams that much anymore. occasionally yeah, but its just not the same anymore. and i remember what Ms Libra said the other day that truly struck me, she said "all this love and feelings that we get and feel, comes from God, and with that He could also take it away" and thats true. So for me i think, God is slowly taking away the feelings i have for FH bit by bit, coz now i am letting it to be taken away whereas before i was fighting it. I'm more at peace with the whole ordeal now so i guess God has deem it fit for Him to take away the feelings so that i'll move on. So, i guess step by step i'll be over FH, i'm pretty sure of that :)

BUT of course all of this is not a guaranteed. i could meet FH tmrw and suddenly all the feelings would rush back. I dunno. It's all God's work and i'm just in it for the ride. Everything has been written for us sejak azali, so i can't say much actually. It's all up to the Almighty. We just have to learn to accept. And learn to let go!

an end of another episode


So, i woke up this morning and felt okay. felt as if the cloud has been lifted and the heavy feelings in my heart are not there anymore. And i realized i'm genuinely smiling today :). So, i know then, that this current episode is officially over. Thank God for that.

yes, i'm still alone but it feels less bleak now. i don't know what happened, or what made this episode come to an end. it could probably have just been time, the best healer of all; or it could have been the lepak session i had with the frens last nite; or it could possibly be becoz i had class today and i know i have class tmrw!! i dun know.. but whateva it is, i'm glad to feel normal again and to be at best - truly SOBER for awhile!

Time for some positivity and optimism now and i've got to immerse in it for as long as i can!

******

hey fancy that, just saw my Tarot reading today, and, guess what, its the Sun symbol!! funny coincidence eh..

Life is strange.



"I think that when we look for love courageously, it reveals itself, and we wind up attracting even more love. If one person really wants us, everyone does. But if we're alone, we become even more alone. Life is strange." ~ Paulo Coelho

But what if u don't have the strength to look for love anymore? ...

Well, I didn't think i'd ever admit it, but i am now. Acknowledging something is part of the healing process rite? So again, i'm trying not to live in denial anymore. I am alone & i am lonely. I have all the friends & family ard, but i am constantly alone. 90% of my time of every week, i'm just alone, at home. back to an empty house. what a life...

so its true Paulo, when u're alone, u become even more alone. Life IS strange. *sigh......*

too much life, going to waste

I know how you Feel, Robbie.. I hear what u're saying..

"Feel"

Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given

I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand

I just want to feel real love
Feel the home that I live in

Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins, going to waste

I don't wanna die
But I ain't keen on living either
Before I fall in love
I'm preparing to leave her

Scare myself to death
That's why I keep on running
Before I've arrived
I can see myself coming

I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in

Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins, going to waste

And I need to feel
Real love
And a life ever after

I can not give it up

I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in

I got too much love
Running through my veins, to go to waste

I just wanna feel real love
in a life ever after

There's a hole in my soul
You can see it in my face
It's a real big place

Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
Not sure I understand

Not sure I understand

truth be told

There's sumthing wrong. let's recap.. in 2007, i wrote this.

so now, abt 2 years later..

Depression symptoms
  • Persistent sad, anxious, or “empty” mood (still yes)
  • Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism (still yes)
  • Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness (still yes)
  • Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities that were once enjoyed (Yes with a capital Y)
  • Decreased energy, fatigue, being “slowed down” (very much yes)
  • Difficulty concentrating, remembering, making decisions (yeah sometimes)
  • Insomnia, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping (very, very much yes)
  • Appetite and/or weight loss or overeating and weight gain (yeah - up & down)
  • Thoughts of death or suicide; suicide attempts (no, not suicide thots - i still have religion keeping me away frm that)
  • Restlessness, irritability (restlessness - always; irritability - yes now)
  • Persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment, such as headaches, digestive disorders, and chronic pain (headaches yeah - panadol cam gula2 sumtimes)


Major depression is manifested by a combination of symptoms that interfere with the ability to work, study, sleep, eat, and enjoy once pleasurable activities. Such a disabling episode of depression may occur only once but more commonly occurs several times in a lifetime. A less severe type of depression, dysthymia, involves long-term, chronic symptoms that do not disable, but keep one from functioning well or from feeling good. Many people with dysthymia also experience major depressive episodes at some time in their lives.

Dysthmia is a type of chronic “low-grade” depression. More days than not, you feel mildly or moderately depressed, although you may have brief periods of normal mood. The symptoms of dysthymia are not as strong as the symptoms of major depression, but they last a long time (at least 2 years). These chronic symptoms make it very difficult to live life to the fullest or to remember better times. Some people also experience major depressive episodes on top of dysthymia, a condition known as “double depression.” If you suffer from dysthymia, you may feel like you’ve always been depressed. Or you may think that your continuous low mood is “just the way you are.”

I think i might have dysthymia.

I got to stop living in denial.. it's not funny anymore. There's sumthing wrong. I'm always tired now, and i don't now what i'm tired of. My sleeping pattern - can't sleep before 2am. Even if i tried to go to sleep earlier, say 12, i'll be tossing & turning till way past 2am and i'll regain consciousness ard 6 or 7am. I can't remember the last time i had that genuine restful sleep.

The fatigue & the sleeping disorder are constant either i'm having an episode or not. By episode, i mean the depressive episode - the feeling of emptiness, sadness, hopelessness etc. Cry for no apparent reasons too. Just lie down staring at nothing in particular etc etc. But lately I don't know why but i feel the episodes are getting more frequent and sumhow longer? Does this mean it's getting worse? If so.. why? Is it the age factor?

I use to be able to hide or pretend that i'm ok even if i'm having an episode. In front of ppl, I'll put on a mask, i'll put on a smile and if anybody ask "Are you ok?", i'll say "I'm fine". (Smile, though your heart is aching...) I still do pretend i'm happy.. smile as wide as i can, laugh like mad even tho inside, i dun feel the joy or the mirth. But lately, i feel like i'm tired of putting that happy face mask.. my mom even caught me a few times, staring into space for no apparent reason; but of course, i just gave excuses that I was tired or sleepy when she asked.

I feel i'm losing the zest for life and losing my sense of humour for life. I don't even want to get out of bed sometimes. Go to work, lagi la malas! Where's the joy? Where's the excitement? The only respite i get now is my classes! I feel that it's the most natural thing for me to do and the moment i step into that classroom, everything is calm. All the noises in my head are gone. I'm right there in the present when i'm in that class. Step out.. blerghhhhh....

Apart from the classes, what else makes me happy now? My family, my kazens and my true friends. That's the only 3 things i can think of. When i'm with them, I do have fun. I do have a barrel of laughs. Leave me alone and it's whole different picture altogether. That's why i can't lose them.. they're the ones that keeps me just a lil' bit sane!

What triggers this depressive episodes within me? I dunno.. i thot it'd be a particular cause but then when i think about it, there's so many factors that has caused my numerous episodes and sometimes there's no real rhyme or reason for it. It's beginning to feel like cancer la pulak - the moment i thot i'm all ok, in positivity remission, i get it again & again. And if i were a lesser mortal with a lesser grip, i think i would have drown my sorrows with stiff drinks already. It's so easy man, to go to that path.. heck, if i did then i can say/sing 'blame it on the a a a a a alcohol' (blame it on vodka, blame it on the henney hahahah). But i think i'll just opt for a tattoo.. a Dragonfly tattoo.. that temporary one la!! ;)

However, i do feel this present episode i'm in, which has gone on for a couple of weeks alrdy, is gonna end soon. And i'll be normal again. But i know i'll have episodes again and it's tiring to live like this. It's like i'm normal for awhile then i'll turn all Meredith Grey another moment. I myself feel like shaking me and shout "Be happy, be HAPPY PF!!!" *sigh* I need help. And i don't mean the drugs. The drugs don't work... they're temporary. I need to get healed & whole. i need natural permanent cure, a genuine peace of mind coz i know this thing won't go away by itself or by things or by people. So, help from the Higher Power perhaps?

I know i'm not alone in having this depressive tendency. I'm surrounded by friends who have this too. Birds of a feather flock together perhaps? But, the question that begs to be answered is why us? What's wrong with all of us? Are we influencing each other or it's just our fate to have this thing? .................

Causes and risk factors for depression
- Loneliness
- Lack of social support
- Recent stressful life experiences
- Family history of depression
- Marital or relationship problems
- Financial strain
- Early childhood trauma or abuse
- Alcohol or drug abuse
- Unemployment or underemployment
- Health problems or chronic pain

Notice what could be the MAIN cause why we're afflicted with depression? I see it. I so see it.

I need help.

tell me how to..

LOSE YOU

I’m
Taking a ride
Off to one side
It is a personal thing
Where
When I can’t stand
Up in this cage I’m not regretting

I don’t need a better thing
I’d settle for less
It’s another thing for me
I just have to wander through this world
Alone

Stop
before you fall
Into the hole that I have dug here
Rest
Even as you
Are starting to feel the way I used to

I don’t need a better thing
Just to sound confused
Don’t talk about everyone
I am not amused by you

'Cause I’m gonna lose you
Yes, I’m gonna lose you
If I'm gonna lose you

'Cause I’m gonna lose you
Yes, I’m gonna lose you
If I'm gonna lose you

I'm gonna lose you for good

Before Sunset


Memory is a wonderful thing, if you don't have to deal with the past.
