Shifting sands of time

hahas.this serves as practice for my GP test
i need to gain momentum and go on writing political posts. helps get my mind off... stuff.

alright. let's get started, shall we?

""For most people, books are an escape from real life." How far do you agree with this statement?", reads a question which popped right at me in my ten year series. Driven by my very own seemingly magnetic attraction to escapism, i decided to write on the aforementioned topic.
I define escapism as trying to run away from reality. As much as people may deny that they seek escape from reality at times, it is evident that escapism is sheer human instinct. A form of escapism has already been quoted: DENIAL. Many other forms, such as entertainment and hobbies, serve as mediums of escapism. Wouldn't you agree that escapism has also been marketed in a commercial way then, appearing in the form of activities to unwind or to de-stress? I shall discuss escapism with regards to its manifestations in our lives, the effect that escapism has on individuals, and why do people choose to run away from reality.

[to be cont'd. TOO F-EN PISSED.]

Shifting sands of time

notice the star counter?
ohman. 20 odd people in one day.. WOO. works out to about 600 a mth.

to siyin: bubbles rock. the powerpuff girls rule! MOSTEST FUN.
also, i've let go. i really have. ((:

mugging for thefreaking block test. to be honest with you, i really did not enjoy myself this hols.AT ALL. so much for a break, really. i spent a week.A WEEK, doing nothing, in all. thanks to council, i think i just might retain.
lots of work into planning the investiture. F*ckEN TIRED.
BAH! so much resentment has been built up in me now that i realise that I REALLY MIGHT JUST DIE/GET RETAINED

it's been barely 2 days since tauf left, and i'm DYING!! i hope you come back soon tauf. being budless and chatless at night,it definitely ain't a good feeling.. AND I HAVE TO SUFFER FOR 6 MORE DAYS!!

during the tauf-less period, i took some time out of my "me"-time, where i'd presumably spend time with myself and do some reflection, and make some changes to the direction my life was headed to. specifically, LIKElife.

-waiting, and just merely WAITING. (for something that wouldn't happen. not anymore.; for someone who couldn't/wouldn't say or do anything.)
-believing. (don't say that it'll happen. nothing had,has, or ever will. don't tell me this and that- i've just stopped believing in him being THE one.)
-liking someone. ANYONE, for that matter of fact. (i'll just kick back and wait for the one to come along and sweep me off my feet... lazy, i know! but i've had enough of failed relationships to bother looking... much rather spend time with my EL texts.)

well, i guess that's about it for changes. back to my mundane, routine, suburban life.

talked to lay queen (yay!) on MSN. yong feng too! it's barely been a week since we last saw each other... OBS. SUISEN AND BARKER PEEPS ARE MEETING UP! ((: tomorrow! ijustcan'twait.
i was just saying to lay queen that i would get to dress up for once, in a LONG time. hahas.
(still the same tiered skirt that i'm mad about lar.) to which she replied, "you can always dress up for your special someone. :)" (which inadvertently launched us into a conversation about -surprisesurprise- relationships.)

i told her that i've been without a special someone for close to 2 mths already, and that i've had special someones before, and they all didn't work out... how tired of looking/believing in it i was. (each time i did, it led to disappointments. i guess i'm just not cut out for commitments)

her reply was something like... maybe i haven't found the right one yet, but i should keep the faith in the search, and that happy people like myself should have a special someone to call my own. also, even though the special someone who comes along doesn't shower me with loads of hugs that i want, he'll make up for it in many little ways.

thanks sweets! ((:
---------------------
yong feng smsed me this morn: maybe your special someone has been right in front of you all along. and someday, you'll find him or he'll find you.
i believe someone will come.(OF COURSE!!!) but for now, i doubt it.

anyways. VJ peeps just rock! ((:

some things he said made me... hesitate. therefore, i decided NOT to tell him the way i felt because i think that if i did,it'll scare him off.

we went out to queensway to get my CAP(whoohoo) and my converse shoes!!(nicenice, but SOMEONE thinks it looks like OLDOLD school shoes after a mth.*pfft* sheesh.)
felt rather quiet and moody the whole day due to lack of sleep, MAINLY. but he seemed to think that it was due to the mention of exes.

(you are such a dope..... couldn't you tell at all that i was depressed cos here i was, just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking you to like me?)
anyways. got to sleep on his shoulder. and oh craps. i am so getting used to it. feels...nice. *sublimely blissful smile* =o)
well, HE thinks that it's cos it's MUSCULAR. *puke*
well, i said that it was his shirt.looked positively tennis.
(a reebok blue polo. looks nice on him!!!) ((:

it's been awhile since i've posted a political post, haven't i? letme slap the lovesick/depressed vibes out of myself before i begin.

get tangled up in me.
you wanna know more,more, more about me.
i'm the girl that's sweeping you off your feet.

hmms.love the feeling i get when i talk to him. just me and him.
*face lights up in glee*
friends are pretty sure we make a good couple. and that he likes me too.
i'm not too sure.
yet.
