unbeknownst last day

my mouth tastes all weird now due to all the chlorine filled water i drank at the pool today.
and my hair is like super dry now.
aftermath of swimming.
it's been eons since i went swimming, i think the last time i went is like secondary one?
one and only failed attempt to learn swimming. haha
which means it's... let me count, six or seven years since i last went swimming! wow.
swimming or whatever that is called before you actually learn how to swim, is actually pretty nice.
i like the feeling in the water.
no wonder people always say they like swimming because it can destress.
anyway, my goal is to learn swimming so i can go snorkeling!
snorkeling, snorkeling, snorkeling. *starts a chant*

i think my body clock is screwed up againnnn after i stopped working.
sigh, i must sleep early and wake up early man.
it's unhealthy.
and there's little blisters like things on my palm for quite a while.
it's starting to irritate me.
should i see a doctor about it or something?

heard some news and cyber surf a little.
so i was thinking, what if one day i die?
then how will the people around me react?
will they cry, will they hurt, will they regret?
how many times have we heard that life is fragile, life is short, yet we did nothing about it.
because nobody would believe that today will be the last day for them, or for their perfectly healthy friends.
because we dont believe that young people do die, dying feels like something for grown-ups, for the elderly.
we see news and hear about young people dying, sometimes in accident or in disaster.
but it all seems so foreign, so... out of touch, out of reach.
only if it actually happens around us or to us, then we realise.
so are all those quotes about "living life to the fullest" & "treasuring what you have while you have it", nothing?
i mean we have seen those quotes so many times that they lost their meanings, we feel numb towards them.
we know but we do not know.
but i'm an optimist.
and if it's pro-choice or pro-life, i choose life most of the times.
so yeah, i still choose to believe.
and maybe once in a while like now, when life throws you a reminder.
then you will remember and live by the quotes.
at least for a while.

Late night thoughts

Sometimes as we rush to move forward, day by day passed and we forget to stop and take a look, to reflect and to feel. All in the name of Busy. I would say that this Friday's sickness came just at the right time as I forced myself to take a much needed break. A full 10 hours of sleep in a while now, having some me time albeit just to lay around in bed the whole day to watch shows. Catching up on conversations with friends I didn't realized I miss so dearly and reminiscing about good old times. It has been merely 5 months odd. Yet, when we talked about school, it feels like another lifetime away. Sometimes I hope that just for even one day, we can go back in time, walk in the corridors and stop to say hi to familiar faces. It's these little things I miss about school. Mostly the once familiar environment and the freedom.  That's not to say that work is a dreadful task. It's just that Work is like an all consuming entity that creeps up in your mind, occupy your life i...

As I'm laying on my bed now, I try my best to not think about my trip tomorrow for fear that I may start panicking. Now that I think about it, I must have been crazy to book an air ticket to Europe two weeks before the flight. 5 weeks in Europe and less than 2 weeks of planning! What was I thinking? And we are only two girls. I didnt even thought about going to Europe after I came back from exchange since I was immensely broke. Well, but I have to say somewhere along the way someone planted that thought in my head. Even though I kept throwing it away and telling myself it's impossible, signs keep popping out and gave me the hope again. And indeed, somehow things that are bad started clicking together and turned for the better. It is like the universe wanted me to go. As always it's the pre trip jittery and I as usual is not prepared at all even under prepared this time. I always start off a trip with uncertainty and come back full of memories. Wish me luck this time round a...
