alright, break hiatus. okay, more appropriately, end hiatus, but that stuff aside;

i didn't like the way the wind howled outside my room yesterday - like some tortured, anguished soul; it was quite disturbing, plus the intermittent tinkles of the windchimes.

similarly, i guess there are some things that we really don't like, don't want and don't hope to face, and yet because life is such, it becomes inevitable that we eventually do face them. it is painful, undoubtedly; perhaps especially so, today being the 2nd sunday of may.

but whatever it is, really, stay strong, be brave, & take care always.

throughout this year, it has become increasingly impressed upon me just how tiny and insignificant some things are in the bigger view of things, and just how ridiculous it is that we are locked in disappointment over the most trivial of matters. but i think beyond everything else it's most important for us to show that we care for the people always, without a lapse in the concern and love we show them. it might seem stupid, i guess, as if only occurrences of magnitude would ever elicit stuff like this out of me, but to everyone whom i know, regardless of who you are, how close i am to you, and all that jazz, thank you for being there, and i really, deep down inside, love you all very much. :D and well, i'm sorry if i haven't exactly been the best person to talk to, the best friend and everything else, and i'm sorry if i've ever flared up or threw tantrums at you all when there probably isn't the faintest reason to warrant things like that.

sigh, nevermind if i sound like a sentimental idiot or anything of the sort. say it, because once it's out, there won't be regrets.

hmm was torn between quoting david harkins and this, but in the end, i guess this eskimo proverb rings most true now.

"perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy."
and so, take solace in that knowledge.

or zongmin, in english, chinese or - okay, not really otherwise.

lives, writes, sings, plays the piano, and attempts to sound intellectual at times (conclusion: fails rather miserably).

loves music (almost strictly classical, hurhur & inclusive of faziolis!), literature (& also the sciences - no they are not in conflict), making hopelessly lame puns, laughter, white/milk chocolate, cheesecake, the world & the people in it. list not exhaustive, by the way.

wants the world to be filled with peace, joy and love, and also wants (perhaps a little more selfishly) to be happy, plus lead a life of purpose. that would be more than enough. (:

oh, and she likes embarking on her own 'free hugs!' campaigns after exams and the like; not really sure why. D: (at any rate, you can tell that she's random enough.)

very plain, she knows; but this is probably herself in its entirety - nothing more than a compilation of perhaps-boring-to-you little things (and the occasional Important Event), but also nothing less than all the brilliant memories which constitutes her life, and perhaps yours.

also interpreted as an inability to express with other things but words (nothing more, nothing less!), although even words sometimes won't do enough. but she does like orange.

v2.0 (230208): maybe solid grey isn't that fantastic after all. but wordy is good, all the same. she's weird, she knows.

ver. i-pretend-that-it-is-3.0-when-i-know-it-is-not (070608): i am boring, take that. (:

v4.0 (200908): got bored, so cut down on the quasi-fanciful stuff even more. perfectly plain now, though somehow the background still doesn't work on safari / google chrome. ):
