Shades of grey.

quote via creampuff.

i've been there and back;

1. On clothes from Marks & Spencer.

Sophie:

I'm in a relationship with it.

It's made of Indian Silk, that's why it costs $50 bucks.

And it has a touch me sticker on it.

And its oh so soft.

2. On bags from online shops.
Siqi:
(leans over 2 people)
Eh what is the address of that online shop where this bag came from?
(points to bag)
Oh it's okay i remembered already.
(later on during lunch)
Eh yesterday I bought a bag! It was 50% off from the Island Shop.

3. On shoes from cheap places.
Charlene:
(ages ago)
Eh I need to buy shoes. All my shoes aren't pretty.
(today)
Eh I can't buy shoes anymore, I'm broke.

Nothing is harder than it seems.

just like quicksand;

you don't make commitments you can't keep;

Yesterday, we were supposed to shop for a friend's birthday present before meeting friends and embarking on what proved to be my downfall for the rest of the night. Anyway the point is that, I saw this PS1 like bag from C&K and am still thinking about it! Okay, it wasn't very PS1 like but the point is that it is grey & navy blue & very pretty & very me.

And also yesterday, I stepped into MPH bookstore while waiting for 2 very late boys and realized it has been a long time since I last picked up a book for leisure and not because of a compulsion to do so. Then I realised that it's been a long time since I did anything for leisure and not because I was compelled to do it; because I had to. I couldn't sleep last night because of the sugar from the souffle, so this morning I went running with all the sugar in my system. It's time to start doing things that I want, isn't it?

&& oh Sonia, we need to work on our mutual telepathy. The only words we managed to say in sync yesterday was: ptosis and exopthalmos. Tragik.

syrinx:

Syrinx was one of those versatile virgins of Arcadia, who, on being pursued by Pan beside the river Ladon, turned herself into a reed, from which Pan made his pipes, so giving her name to various tubular structures, eg syriges, and syrinxes, which are tubular or slit-like cavities in or close to the central canal of the cervical cord. They may extend up or down.

you have an aura

"I want people to feel an immediate happiness and cheerfulness when they are around me. To make a difference in someone's life. I want to make an impression in someone's life, so that even though I may be delicate and fragile, my footprints are permanent within the hearts of the ones I've touched."

via creampuff, again.

thoughts running through my head now:

"I like the blue colour, its very... bright."
"Is it too bright?"
"Well, its hospital appropriate."
"But it has weird frills at the bottom, makes my butt look big."
"Frills = cute!"
"Frills = fat."

what does it take to find a lost love?

Today my friend turned 90 years old. The hospital staff sang him a birthday song when we were having tutorial. He told me he wanted to hit 100 years old, said that with a grin and hope in his voice. He is a cute old man, tells me about his education, his job, his mee goreng. He says he likes to cook his own food, that he puts 6 onions, 60 cents toufu and a little yellow mee and he cooks it by himself. That the kind they sell outside isn't nice, "they give so little towgay".

Today I said goodbye && take care to another friend who went home. He defaulted treatment for his thyroid problem for many years, because he didn't have the money to pay for medication. He said he didn't know what to do when he goes home, "Singapore is a very hard place ah. People are very unfriendly, and they are selfish." And then he told me firmly: "Don't press people down because when you go, no one will come and send you off".
Don't press people down.

Today I said a cheery good morning to this man who wanders the hallways every morning. The hallways in AH are a breezy, open place to be and today he was looking out one of the colonial style windows, gazing at the tress outside.
He has lung cancer.
I try to greet him happily every morning because sometimes that's the best we can do, to be cheerful for them.

This week has been busy but fulfilling.

Drinking chamomile tea and:

Maybe if you didn't say those things, I'd love you a whole lot more.

appearances deceive.

2 minutes into the conversation, his eyes filled with tears.
"Wo huo zai shi jie shang hen tong ku, mei you ban fa le."

Later my friend asked, "why did you talk to him?".
"Sometimes the best thing we can do is to listen."

this is how i'm feeling right now:

like there's no way forward, and definitely none back.

fix your shattered bones.

if you only had one more day to live, what would you do?
