Do we truly accept the reasons we come up with for ourselves?

We go out and hang out and have a good time, but when I'm alone and crying at the playground in possibly the most comical and dramatic fashion ever, 'we' don't exist.

I hope Estherunagihamburgerbabye will always be the exception to every rule, shao will always love playgrounds and phin will always be a koala.

Its strange, we love people we hardly know and fail to reach out to people who love us so much.

Sometimes I wonder if I have too many thoughts and opinions.

I love the colosseum- the blend of the old and the new, the powerful and the defeated, the stolen and the restored, the richly historic and modern, the past and the present and the existing and the forgotten. To put it succinctly, I love how it was built for itself (and not intentionally as an attraction like a certain double helix bridge I could but wont mention) and how it has meant so many things through the ages and eventually come to absorb all that its been though. Yet, to so many, it remains only as an emblem of Rome when really it is so much more.

Oh, as an add on, people also don't owe it to anyone to give a fuck. And people who don't give a fuck spare themselves the drama so maybe there's some sense in that. Maybe the mistake all this time was either in being someone who does or confusing you with someone who do.

Or both.

As an afterthought, I know this was possibly said on impulse. And in a decently short time, things will come to pass and my head will be filled with guilty thoughts such as "How can I think that of so-and/or-so?".

No one is obliged to accept everything we display (and much less don't display), but everyone, to various extents, conjure images in their heads to make things acceptable.

People don't owe it to anyone to be real and people don't owe it to anyone to accept realness. Now this confuses me for a bit- who falls into which category?

I disagree with the statement that there is no such thing as stupid questions, because there really are. (I.e repeated one, unnecessary ones, meaningless ones, perfunctionary ones, fake ones, and plain and simple, stupid ones).

I could be outdated, but I feel like club logos/matters should be representative of the club rather than that of selective individuals.

I would include no offense, but thats just trying to be pc. Offense might be taken, but to each her own.

Its strange. The best way to find something you've lost is to buy a replacement and like magic, the original one will just appear. Works for people too.

And its strange how despite having all the factors in my favour, the rain, the flu, the sunburn, the lack of sleep, the schoolless day, the empty room, I don't feel anything like sleeping, reading or coffee. The only thing I feel like now is having more strepsils and have someone fill up my starbucks tumbler for me. (Speaking of which, even though I suspect that its by pure coincidence someone bought me lemon and herb strepsils instead of lemon and honey which I hate because i dislike honey, I feel rather grateful; so thanks.)

It is also strange the way I never seem to learn my lesson, like the way I always let esther fake me and the way I let you have your way.

Finally, whats not strange is that I think too much. However, I am allowed to worry and think as much as I like just; or have moments in which I can indulgently envelop myself in negative thoughts without having to explain myself just as you are allowed to tell me my worries and thoughts are ungrounded. Or just as you are allowed to ignore me completely.

And in conclusion, whats really strange is I cannot understand how 13 weeks of hall like is costing me $2100 and what on earth I'm doing here.

"they're her friends and we're just her girls" just made me cry. Or hopefully, I'm just sick.

I'm lying on the floor dying and I would fucking appreciate a break. Yes "fucking" has made its appearance so I'm really not kidding. And the thing with social media is that no one can really tell so why the fuck am I on it.

My entire family went for padivure/manicure (my dad actually did both!) session followed by a round of Thai massage and a relentless cycle of monopoly deal. I'm actually amazed we're holding on well after 3 days. I guess my parents have 'forgotten' that I just fought with them before leaving sg. Either that or what happened in sg stays in sg. Whatever the case, I'm glad to still be their princess.

2 years later, I find myself almost where I was 2 years ago. Only this time, I'm more irritable.

This 1 week at home has convinced me that I was right getting a hall room even though I have a 2 day (1 if i skip a lecture which is likely) week.

Increasingly I realize that love is not the basis for coexistence.

While its still fresh in my mind, I must say that this trip is completely in the running for the best rugby trip I've been on - getting to really know my favourite coach, getting to really know my teammates (to much amusment), getting to bed drunk 3 out of 5 nights on cheap beerlaos, getting to play with so many different characters, and getting to enjoy what was possibly the best game of my life. At my peak, I was in love with 24 different people simultaniously (Sister Peter, Godma and Godpa included) and on the other end of the spectrum, I was annoyed with 4 (or maybe even 6). Save for the sportsyl and my falling sick, I hereby award this trip worthy of a big sturdy storage space in my little head still aching from the whiplash of yesterday.

However, the news that greeted me 10 mins upon landing is set to occupy the entire back of my head for a very long time to come. :(
