How Far...?

just wondering...
how far would you go for the people you love?

when i was a lil younger, as a rebellious teenager,
ive done my fair share of stupid things for the boys whom, now that i think about it, dont really deserve them.
but at that point of time,
i cldnt care less.

up till i was 19,
i was still doing stupid things like waiting for a certain someone to knock off so that we can go home together even though i have alr finished my work. (i dont think even the bestfriend knows this :p)
he has got night classes every mon, wed, and fri.
those would be the nights where i wouldnt be home for dinner, because he needs company.
and when i said "go home together", it was actually just 3 train stops.
but for that 6 mins, i was happy.
sometimes, i'd even alight at outram, and make a detour, or go the longer way, just so we can talk longer.
again, at that point, i cldnt care less.
i thought it was all well worth it.
and even though things didnt turn out the way we wanted it to be, it was still worth it.
because i was happy, seeing him happy.

some people wld weigh the benefits, to see if what they are doing is worth it.
but while im calm in most situations, i am unfortunately not when faced with such situations.
ive recieved my fair share of "are you sure it is worth it?" questions being thrown at me,
and again, at that moment, i cldnt care less.
all it takes is a smile, a word of thanks, and i'd think that it's all worth it.

and it's not just about the smelly boys,
i think it's the same for friends.
prolly 8 out of 10 times when i get a call from jo for some random icecream/meal at the very last minute, i'd go. no matter how busy i am.
im crazy about my friends like that.
sad to say that however, im not doing as much for my family ): because im usually on the recieving end of their love, being the youngest and all. i try to, but i know somehow it will never measure up.

come to think of it,
i must have inherited this trait from my mum.
because she's just like that.
a call from me or my bro, no matter how urgent, and she'd be there for us.
same goes for my relatives, grandparents, her friends...
that is how far she'll go for the people she loves.

what about all of you?
how far would you go for the people you love?

Sunday Evening

to visit jo evan and jasp and bring them food.

#1000

today,
i logged into blogger, went to dashboard,
and saw the words "999 posts" staring back at me.
which means...
this is my 1000th post on this blog!
ZOMG!

i think i started blogging in sec2/3...
but this blog was only created in 2006.
3.5years later...
im at my 1000th post!
this is crazy because it prolly meant that ive typed 78342348 words. or more.
if only im also this efficient at typing my essays and all.

ive no idea who reads this,
other than the close friends,
but based on statistics *coughs* that ive gathered,
it seems like there are certainly more than i imagined.
thankyou all, for reading my mindless nonsense, for walking the journeys with me, and at some point or another, gave me the inspiration to blog (:

i was looking thru some of my older blog posts just now...
the earliest ones, circa 2006.
and my toes cringed in horror at the things i wrote...
but we all have our past right?
:p

anw,
thanks.

dimsum on a cold night.

just supper-ed with the bestfriend, her bf and jaspie.
thankyou people!
thanks for giving in to my demands! muahaha.
love you guys!
my stomach feels happy now (((:

Random #031109

spent the morning ride to school playing scrabble with uncle wu on his phone.
despite the half-awaken brain,
i beat him hands down.
muahaha.
*beams.
half lucky too.
-
school was ... ^%#*&@
but once again, made bearable by more self-entertaining.
getting good at this.
lunch was hilarious.
we need to stop bitching. hmm :D
DLK presentation is finally over.
expected better performance, but it's fine.
-
lots of unspoken words in my head.
-
tired.
gdnight.

Monday.

i slept at 3 yesterday night, and woke up at 530.
felt like i hadnt slept at all when the alarm rang.
dragged myself to go meet uncle wu at the station.
mind was half shut off.
and whatever i said/talked to him about on our way to school? i cant rmb any bit of it.
-
4hours of lectures straight.
managed to survive through it.
with the help of breakfast and lots of talking/laughing with ms ong.
nice to know that someone shares similar views/thoughts sometimes (:
oh,
laughing at how ridiculous the lecturer also helped us to past time as well.
-
still writing the script for tmr.
i sometimes wonder if we are here to teach or act.
-
cant wait for thursday already.

(((:

ive got this exstudent whom i taught during my 2nd semester in FTP, who will regularly update me about what's going on in her life and asking about mine even up till today.
she just finished sec one.
today,
she msged me and told me that she got promoted to the NA stream from NT.
she, along with only one of her classmate.
i swore i felt my own heart surging with pride.
really really happy for her (:
i thought it was a pretty mean feat.
i hope all goes well for her, and that she'll continue to work hard and strive for better grades.

this must be one of the bestest feeling in the world.
