Bus ride

5 Nov 2009
I was waiting.
5pm sharp, my phone reminder rang. but it's ok.
everyone's now awake from the sweetest dream of all time.
i accidentally pressed the left button
but canceled it within a split second.
all i could do was to delete the 'task'.

My bus has arrived.
popped a Mentos in my mouth as i picked up
"Gift From The Sea" by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
from my very thorn big brown bag,
and plugged in to my ipod with my James Morrison songs all lined up.

Yup, it seems that there's 'a whole caravan of complications' going on. And i would 'want the windows open all the time and i don't want to worry about the rain'.
(some lines i took from the book)

Dinner is served. Chicken rice.
Oh! i ate it (fyi, you can never see me ordering this)
anyway, i didn't finish it.

*♪-Songs For You, Truth For Me continues*

I looked outside.
the clouds were so low. as if i could touch them.
i bet it's very chilling out there.
i saw mist among the hills.
i can just feel the coldness out there from inside here.
i warmed myself with my hoodie, the red one and my Jedi beside me.

An unbearable degree.
i think i was cold.
the cabin crew even gave me a blanket.
but before that, something warm blurred my eyesight.
all i could do was to shut my eyes.

Time continues ticking.

I reached my destination.
i sleep early that night.

Jade

poison apple. adieu. *dush forever*

time for me to pack my bags and leave

i have no time to waste.
my time is running out.

i will arise and go now.

P/S: my black pen and notebook will be there for me through my journey. aha! not forgetting my hoodie and Jedi ♥

With love,
Jade

facing it

...seems to be hard, but it's the truth.
i just can't lie to myself anymore.

i just woke up from a really nice dream.
and i'm back in action!

my sister will be back and we have a lot of catch up to do!
=)

nor the way they appear to be,
but the way they actually are.

When in doubt, let your instincts guide you

*that's my fb fortune cookie of the day*
but the thing is i'm doubting my instincts.
so how? who'll guide me?

there's so much craziness, surrounding me
there's so much going on, it gets hard to breathe
-James Morrison, You Make It Real

Yet i'm actually stuck here,
nothing really going on,
nothing actually is surrounding me,
what craziness?
But it gets hard for me to breathe.

With love,
Jade

who's the culprit?

(click on picture to see the killers)

don't be another killer, please.
i've witness it.

With love,
Jade

just do it.

REMINDER:
smile to a stranger today & make this world a better place.
thank you.

With love,
Jade

*just undiscovered¬= me*

just undiscovered¬ says:
yay! thank u :)
-j.o.a.n.n.a- says:

all i can do is to help u ask
heee small matter
just undiscovered¬ says:
:) it's a big matter to me
kekek
thanks
-j.o.a.n.n.a- says:
u are most welcome :)
u are the one of the few ppl who appreciates things ppl do for u,
not many ppl do already these days
heee they will come to u for help only when they need,
after that, if they dun need ur help, u can be in a coma in the hospital,
or u can die , they dun really care
just as long as they dun need u, they dun come to u
i wonder why
-----
I wonder why too...
A little thank you means a lot.
but of course, thank you with all your heart is what i mean.

thank the person who smiled at you.
thank the person who treats you good.
thank the person who have waited for you.
thank the person who opened the door for you.
thank the person who sweeps the floor.
thank the person who had opened your eyes.
thank the person who inspires and cheer you on always.
thank the person who shares their happy/sad moments with you.
thank the person who gives you the support everyday.
thank the person who loves you.
thank the person who tells you the truth.

thank you.

With love,
Jade
