4 more days to go

Today's the first day for our Emergency Training..it's hell...i step out of the room feeling like I have a mind-block. I dont know if I should feel happy that I am studying hard tonight..heh..anyway, 4 more days to go for Emergency Training.

it feels good to learn something new..yet, it feels terrible when your physical condition isnt good..aww...

there are a few issues I've been thinking about these days and still have not come to terms with it. Not that I havent come to terms la. Just not entirely sorted out.

Wah, sometimes, I wonder what am I thinking..I hardly have the time and yet my brain is thinking of the most unimportant issues at this moment. Heck.

As usual, I tell myself..Hang in there. It will be less than 2 more weeks and I'll be off in another country!

I shall be honest. I cant kid myself anymore. I did feel a tinge of jealousy when he spoke of her. Oddly, for a moment there, the word "my gf" did made me re-think. I could almost hear myself saying that "it's not me". It was like a reminder. Funny.

Angel is right. I have to move on. Perhaps it's a question of can we really move on? Deep inside us, we both knew how hard it is.

As with regards to writing my thoughts here, if it hurts, really, dont read. Coz it's my thoughts and I dont see a need to not write thinking that it'll hurt ya. I dont agree that Mr B was a replacement. I did enjoy the times spent. But, it was a different experience. It was not to replace anything. Coz it's so different that it cant be replaced.

Chatting with SY and CS yesterday about relationships, yes, perhaps SY is right. If I met the right one, I would probably not feel all these.

Somehow I believe in we attracting the kind of person that we are. Then, if so, do we need to prepare and build the kind of indestructible strong self so that we can attract someone like this?

Does it mean that until the day that I can finally let go of my past and everything about Mark, will I then find the right person?

As much as I know I cant hurry to let go, I am also anxious that it takes me so long. In fact, it makes me worried that I will take even longer. Despite being in and out of subsequent relationships.

It has been a while since I've stayed out late like a chalet or something. Although I've not satisfied my mahjong craving, it was also fun to hang out with SY, CS and Nuah. Heh..Nuah hasnt appear in my blog for a long time yeah?

Drinking with them was fun.. we had such corny jokes that they really crack me up.. never mind at times it was innocent dirty jokes..heh.. I love impromptu decisions like going to play mahjong all of a sudden..it makes me feel like I've something to look forward to!

sadly, I'm not fated to have a feel of those tiles...still, quite fun to stay over. How crammed up we were manz! Speaking of which, I'm having neck aches!!!

Went to watch The Maid with SY today. Just got back. Hmmm..it wasnt entirely scary but yet I must say when you just allow yourself to be frightened, it can be quite scary! Furthermore, SY kept scaring me la! hah..it was fun.

It's been quite a while that I've gone out with SY again. Hmm..although I've known him for about 12 years..I dont know him entirely..yet, I know this time round, he must really be going through a rough patch. I wish that it will soon pass for him. He can be such a sweetie, so hopefully the rough time will not take that away from him. Being out with SY makes me think of those sweet memories of dating a guy so innocently. No games, no plans. Just enjoying the moment and how sweet it feels to have someone beside you again.

Sometimes, I wish I had not changed so much that I forget how innocence and sweetness can be such a bliss. Yet, without the change, I feel insecure with simply just the innocence and sweetness. Still, I thank SY for bringing back those memories to me again.

For now, it's the test coming up on Monday.

Totally unexpected!

it's definitely a rare thing for me to be online..and I saw Mark online!!!

Somehow, dunno where and when courage came to me and I dropped him a message..i was expecting no reply from that msn window...i even had it closed after dropping that "Hallo".

But, reply, he did send me.

We chatted for a while..the usuals how have you been etc..

Honestly, I dont know how to describe all that feelings. Perhaps it's nothing to describe. At least not yet. I need time and space to compose myself..to process those emotions / thoughts..

It's funny. Somehow you know you do think of that person and you know he is attached. In the past, before time allows you to heal, jealousy is definitely there. But now, after so long, I cant say jealousy is part of it. It doesnt seems like it. I think I am more amazed by myself that I have not succeed in erasing him out of my life even after so long. Or even after not contacting each other for so long.

Tough

Tough luck. I forgot about my Community Service Report....deadline is tomorrow..and I have tons to study for thursday's test..

Ok, training this week has been tougher but the week is getting by quite fast. These 7 days will be spent learning the technicalities of an aircraft, immigration issues etc.

Just got off work and dead tired. Looking forward to do well for the tests though. 1 on Thursday and the other on Tuesday, I think. heh.

Countdown to Japan!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------
P.S : I miss u...everytime the thought of u never fails to be in my head. Sometimes, I think I purposely place you there in my thoughts. Yet, without fail, i think it's bitter sweet. Am in the airport as I type now, and the cafe here is playing Desperado..not the lyrics but the romance behind the song makes me miss you even more.

There is nothing to say or do. There is only the past for us. All I have is just my own quiet thoughts...

The thought of you is the strongest when I feel that my life is in equilibrium. How ironic. Then do I wish for instability to take place so that you will not come into my mind? See what I mean by bitter sweet. =)

Round 1


*phew* one round down! Just had my Japanese test today. Finally, after 9 days of tough training and it's over! quite sad about not being able to see my Sensei though. Funny how it's only 9 days and yet our class and her get so comfortable.

Been so busy these days and finally it's an off day tomorrow. Really looking forward to having a day of rest. Struggled to wake up this morning without thinking I need more sleep. But I must say, I am happy.

Looking ahead, next week is gonna be a tougher week. For the past 9 days, we sort of tested our Sensei out...we figured she's more particular about our attitude and aptitude in learning the language rather than our appearances and so, our makeup became lesser and lesser each day. First we started with our lipstick. We no longer bother to touch up with it after lunch. Then, it was lesser rouge. Next was without eye shadow. Finally, next week's instructor, has given us a warning that our makeup, hairdo has to be improved. It's definitely not gonna be as relaxed next week. Face the challenges with all my might!!

Sigh. I long for a day to relax and chill. To sit by a calm, serene atmosphere with a book and a cup of coffee . No, Bloody Mary would be better. Salt on the rim of the glass, pls.

Unspoken thoughts

it's my off day today!! so precious! well..it's my first time having a 2 day break from work.
am so used to waking up early in the morning now that I dont even sleep late on my off-days..

i just spent quite abit getting my necessities..well...they are all beauty products actually...just for nail polish, i have quite a bit of different colours. heh..

sometimes in the morning, when i wake up, i thought to myself, i would never dream of having a job which is to make myself look pretty all the time..sigh..

anyway, things have changed quite abit for me over the past few months.

I have not said anything about things between me and Mr B. We broke up last month. What was it all about? Hmm. I think when it comes to a point whereby the directions we head are not the same anymore and there isnt much to continue. Perhaps, I'm just over him already.

Honestly, I dont think I'm suited to be in any relationships from now till God knows when. I know who I am but yet I have not come to a solid grounding on who I want to be. This makes it hard for me to be in a relationship with anyone coz it's something I cant find within myself to make it work. I am still on my little self journey and I have no idea when I will be willing to compromise that.

I've always thought that a relationship will not only enrich the life of an individual but also the other party as well. I still think so, but so far, I've yet to find that person who can do so with me for a particular period of time.

Sigh. Alot of our life today is shaped by our past experiences and for me, Mark had created such a huge impact that I cant erase him out of my memories or even my habits today.

When in a relationship, I guessed one would be able to know if it is the right relationship. Our gut feeling is usually accurate. Sometimes I think it's not even a gut feeling. It is something that we have all along wanted but yet, we cant articulate that and so it becomes a gut feeling instead. Maybe it's just me. ha.

Just the other night, I dreamt of Mark's mother. For some reason, I dreamt of her. It's weird. I mean, I dont dream of Mark but I dreamt of his mum. How weird can that get?

I remembered having a conversation with Dez once about the only way for me to deal with Mark is to treat it as though he is dead. After everything that we have gone through and how much we mean to each other, now, we are no longer friends. I cannot come to terms to that and so the best way for me to deal with it is as if this person is dead. It's harsh. Yes, but it's a representation of how much it meant to me.

I should come to a realization that it's never ever gonna work out in anyway but the fact of the matter is, it didnt end like any other relationship. And I guessed, that's why deep down inside me, I still have that faith.

Is it a lack of courage to take the big step and come to a realization that we have both gone onto a different direction? I dont think so. After this 1 year of crazy shit that I have gone through, I know perfectly well that moral courage is something I dont lack but I think this matter is a result of me not wanting to take the big step at all. If I had wanted, I would have already come to a realization.

See, I asked myself why would I not want it then? I figured it's a combination of various reasons. For one, it's not as if I am very affected by it. I have come to live with it and am aware of how I should deal with any emotions that comes up. Especially since, it's something that concerns the past.

The other reason is probably because it was after all, my one and only long term relationship with anyone. It was filled with memories of my growing up stage and one can term that as First Love.

In any case, these are just thoughts in me. Life goes on. In fact, life goes on not just ordinarily but happily and meaningfully too!

Work..

Never have I imagined I would be working at the airport. It's a different environment altogether from all the other jobs and it feels different going to work everyday.

Training has been tiring. Now that I am going through it, I admired the efforts and hard work a stewardess has to put in especially one working for JAL. We have to learn everything in Japanese and it's the only language that we use to communicate with the passengers. It's really tough but I totally enjoy it and am glad I have chosen to work for this organisation! Learning another language is always not easy but once you manage to grasp it, you can feel that joy pouring from your heart! Gambatterimasu!

My life has been hectic and busy since I've started work. My sleeping hours are also routine since I have to be in class by 830am. So far, I congratulate myself for not being late! See why I like this organisation? heh..I have managed to kick off the bad habit of being late..at least for work...

Honestly, working for Japanese is not an easy task. They are much more stricter than every other nationalities.

As for my colleagues, they are such adorable people. All of us has the right attitude, one which is to help each other and not put others down. =)

I so look forward to going to Japan!!!! I must and I will make it there!
