When I'm helping around in the house, she nags. When I don't, she nags. Her voice flits, from one end of the house to the other, like a restless lizard. Soft, loud, loud [bang bang], soft. I'm pretty sure even our neighbours outside can hear, her voice pierces the morning drone of cars and the drip drip of the last of this mornings' rain draining away.
Sigh.
It's one of those die if you do, die of you don't kind of situations.
A little faith

It has been too long since I had the liberty of penning my thoughts.
I think, people (myself included) have a tendency to be wishful. I wish I had more liberty to go out. I wish I had more money to spend. I wish I lived closer to my friends in PJ, etc. And yet, I must always remind myself that humans by our nature and whim of creation, always desire for more. We are greedy. We are hardly ever satisfied.
...and yet, I still really wish... I could learn to worship God among comrades. I wish I was allowed to, and I also wish that I was brave enough.
But in the Lord you must have faith dear child. All will be well.

Dad, how come I don't look like mom?
Why?
Because mom's pretty.
You don't look like your mom. Andy and Andrew do.
So how come I don't look like mom?
Well, that's because daughter's are supposed to look like their fathers'
I hate goodbyes

We will always wish we could have slept over tonight. Amirah is leaving for Leicester on Tuesday morning, and neither Vi-Jean or me can send her off.
This sucks.
We mostly just chatted. I arrived first, bringing my work along, tired after having only 3 hours of sleep the previous night. Then Vi-Jean braves the traffic jam and arrives much later than expected, smelling of sweat and emo-ness. This blog will now serve to record our first big separation after 12 years together.
I don't remember how we first met. I only know that Vi-Jean and Amirah were friends first, then I came in pretty soon after. We were in the same class for all 6 primary school years;
Remember
The ting ting in front of 1C
Galah panjang on the tarmac
Pretending there were ghosts in school
Fooling around with broomsticks,
dustpans, feather dusters
So we could pretend to be rockstars
Just for kicks'.
Look at how far we've come,
And how much we've changed.
How much closer we are...
And will be.
I love you guys <3

My guy friends are cool, but often super sarcastic. Sometimes, it's not hard to feel slightly ostracized. It's also a little hard to tell if chivalry is out of obligation or if it's genuine.
I hope it's the latter.
My girl friends aren't here to hug me now...

I hate my dad sometimes, but I love him all the time.
I just don't show it very well.
G'day mate.

First day of uni tomorrow. Hello Architecture, come, take over my life.
I'm all yours.
I blog
Even though it is an act of conscious conceitedness.

Oh do a background check
But only if you must.
biography
suddenly i'm famous and people know my name
*SUPER NERDCHITECT, AWAY!
No magic or super powers, just needs loads of cash, a plane, some blood, and a pinch of luck.
I'm actually a really sweet person. No, really. I dig Tim Tam's, except when I have a sore throat.
I also swear by rambutans and white wine being the ultimate after-dinner combination of bitter and sweet.
Love to hang out, but don't do it enough. Detests clubs for their funny smell and awful base-banging.
Is thinking I am generally untalented, but has the attitude to make up for it.
-I want a British telephone booth in my home!

On your first date, never, ever, say 'smurf penis'.
Even though that blue horn on the wall looks like one.
