loner.

diverse networks marks my circle of friends. Frequently meeting friends, acquaintances along corridoors, at shopping areas - almost everywhere. Indeed it is refreshing to see familiar faces wherever you go, others view it as popularity. To me, it just makes the world less strange superficially.

From one who dreads being alone to enjoying the time by myself. Maybe because i no longer find another who knows me almost as much as i do myself, or more. I still enjoy the comfort of conversations and fun with all my close friends, but something else just made me thought harder.

The extrovert Miss Popular can actually be the most lonely of them all. I realised that I have reached the point where almost noone knows what exactly is really going on in my life. It used to be different pple knowing a little of me, but now... i really wonder when was the last time i truly self-disclosed. Somehow, i seem to find it difficult to self-disclose and bury myself behind the pretense of books.

I'm seriously not in depression or anything though many may think this sound like i've gone mad. On the contrary, i've been a rather happy girl with minimal worries. at least i think i'm happy. Guess what? twin.. i miss u loads. i realise the last time i really properly had a heartfelt conversation with some1 was u and it was eons ago. i guess i'm just missing a lot of my really close relationships with frenz.. a lot.

N i really enjoy the company of the library, or maybe i just got used to it. N i'm seriously enjoying social work classes! just feel a little more responsibilities edged into me thats all.

so i was bored from studying n surfing youtube for mtvs. den i came across something meaningful. Then i thought that at this point of time, who cld i dedicate it to? n i thought for quite long, to realise that i cld not at this point refer it to any1 for the present. in the past, i wld have a list.. n now.. its just Snaffee. for whom many will not pass her for the fact that she's not human. but she's human enough to me. =)

许慧欣&潘玮仪-陪你等天亮

眼看星星落下
窗外一点一点出现阳光
摸摸我的头
你说我很棒
我们都是这样
一面带着伤痕一面飞翔
难过的时候
有我在身旁
我陪你等天亮
拥抱着一起分享
能放心的哭一场
是再微笑的力量
只有你明白我的疯狂
不管故事有多长
世界对我太善良
这一路上有你
我变得坚强
你知道我多傻
在你面前从来不用逞强
听我说说话
让我靠一下
想要幸福却都跌跌撞撞
可是不要怕
比赛看谁早一点学会
就算逆风
也能好好带着祝福不再流泪
勇敢的飞
然后分享那种喜悦
有你在身旁
嗯……

People blog to self-disclose, to find out more about themself. maybe thats why i enjoy blogging so much such that it went on for.. 3yrs.. or is it 4? haha. i still regard many of u as my close frenz! really. i think i just miss every1 too much.

The real loner is me.

respect.

i never thought i will respect a profession so deeply. I have just embarked on the decided journey, after much consideration and questioning, hearing the real life experiences shared really raised my respect for these social workers. Not only that, realising the amount of theories they have to know, the immediate appropriate response required, the number of things they have to juggle, the required generative and positive qualities in their personalities, the responsibilities they have to bear, the concentration that is necessary - i am impressed.

Than i look at my professional and experienced lecturers, n i wonder.. am i capable? am i balance enough? will i be able to advocate for and empower another? am i strong enough to fight for my client? will i be able to bear the responsibilities? have i enough ability to know the many many books of theories at the back of my hand?

If i just lack any one of these qualities.. i will screw up another person's life which cld have been helped.

It is so important for professional social workers to be aware of who they are. So please, help me to be more aware of myself. generally i am not really bias towards any groups (yes i respect homosexuals too). i must learn to be very careful with words.. which i find that i am unable to when i'm with really close frenz. i still love to address them as shits. haha i must learn to be calm.

customers who come in to my store always thought that i'm a young kid waiting for o levels, and end up astonished to learn that i'm an undergraduate. will my baby face affect me workign as a social worker? how? my colleague tells me its partly cuz of the way i dress n my voice.. i really need opinions to know how people honestly think of me - the way i dress, my voice, my personality, my behaviours etc. shoot it bad, i need to know. my self esteem is not easily lowered... cuz i love myself n i know there's a grp who loves me for who i am. den again.. i've to warn that i'm gonna change.... my new learn knowledge WILL change me. how? i hope others will tell me.

yes, i am stressed. for now i'm learning not only for me, not only for my family.. not only for our survival but... the survival for people who will in the future depend on my profession. its added responsibilities that i have to cope with. my incapability in school now will affect how well and efficiently i can aid another.

Selina, its time to focus. make me a nerd.

wanna-be nerd.

PARTY!

I welcome all of my frenz who knows me.. may be acquaintance but u know who i am n goes beyond the hi-bye relationships... to join me at bbq on 23rd feb! i hope to see all my frenz from back in IJ to OBS to OI to CJC to NUS. keep that particular night for me k! CJC includes those in t12, t7 and t9! n bballers!! i know i can go on and on but hey.. if ur my fren n even if we have lost contact for a long time.. the bbq is for us to meet n catch up cuz i miss loadsa pple a lot a lot. n i just dun have time to personally call up pple n gather them.. plus... i've kinda lost some contacts cuz changing of phone etc..

ok for my frenz who keeps questioning me on what i desire/want/need... here is the list i have tried my very best to come up with... (not in any particular order)

-Belt
-bag that are able to fit prince(he's a4 sized but thick!) n stationaries for school
- stuff from MU are highly appreciable (i have the member card or ur can get heeren vouchers)
-AMORE membership (so i'll finally accomplish my long term wants of training those flabs)
-jackets or sweaters (i'm easily cold.... brrrr.. so i need many many. haha)
-the many vcds that i'm craving for... i like musicals hint hint.
-handmade items (er hemz so no worries k jo! haha)

** if ur thinkin of jeans/pants i wear waist 27-28 but i can fit into mens jeans too.. think maximum size is 32 depending on cutting.. but 28 ladies is preferred cuz i rather it loose. haha but if it doesnt fit there's always exchange policies. tops... ur gauge lar.. i'm not that small. haha usually small for men's tops and medium or large for ladies tops. same logic.. i like them big. if ur thinkin of shoes.. i'm a 5.5 but usually they dun have that weird size so its 6 most of the time.
**things to avoid are like stuffed toys/deco items/ display stuff cuz i have ample of them unless they carry great significance or are simply irresistable. haha but i'll be happy to get them too! =) just that i dunno where i can stuff them cuz i'm running out of display areas n cupboards to store them

ok.. this is the best i can help lar.. its not exactly things that i desire badly for.. but most of them falls under practicality options. anyway its the thoughts that counts n seriously.... all i wanna is to have all my frenz gather, extend all our networks and have fun! FUN n JOY will be the greatest pressie n only possible with all my frenz i guess.. though i can be lunatic n self entertain but thats not the point. haha so many gibberish... i shall go sleep.. tmr is another long day. this is my most thick skinned entry manz...

love, selina.

sweet?!

pisces are romantic beings.. are they? so what falls within the boundaries of romance? inching towards my favourite manga where romance lies in undying support, discreetly showering concern, building love. Topping it with shyness and maximum trust.. what fantasies.

sometimes one craves for a little sweetness, n wish that sugar will appear. does it makes the deliverer an angel? to receive it and be curious about intentions. is it luxury or mystery? yet one can't deny that they are blessed to be receivers. how are we supposed to react in the many circumstances... things we have to learn in my new module.

The Social work module that i take this sem may just change me... change the way i respond to people and how i will read their non-verbal messages. it has become important to be more concious and less gullible. express our inner feelings appropriately to the situations.. we are GREAT pretenders.

that curious question made me think.. on why i embark on such a resolution, on my beliefs. only those who can make me lose many many days of sleep are those that are my potential interests. its scary. is this really what i want? am i thinkin too much or too little? am i reacting the right way? my many uncertainties.

another yr has arrived. my notes are getting thicker now that i'm trying to ensure i'm a dutiful student who prints all readings n goes through them. tough tough but i'm working on it. its another momentum to build up. with all these neverending academically challenged stuff.. i'm never gonna have the extra time for other activities so please.. give it up. i want my own space despite my work n tuition n school. i miss dance. maybe not ballet.. yet. but i miss dance.

i'm growing fat too. haha...

happy happy new yr!
