It's so tempting to just run away when things go wrong.
"But we can't run away forever."

Self Amusement
Blogging is not easy to commit to. It's hard to put into words what I'm really thinking of. But I'll try putting it into practice.
So the most common question people ask me these days that I dread is "What have you been doing lately?" and I go "Oh, just..you know. Read books.." (give a nod or two, change subject) or "Erm, figuring out what I wanna study" (then hopefully they start giving advice) or some hobbies I just do for fun, like when I get really bored (and that's saying something) like "Sewing" or "Painting". Sad, really. But seriously, mostly what I do is spamming Taylor Swift's songs and guitaring. Not really answers that can continue the conversation. Besides, don't you already have an idea of what am I doing? *sigh*
Anyway whenever I don't blog it means I'm actually doing something. I've been to KL [thanks kor kor! =)] and Singapore for day trips, had my first Subway (finally), watched Youtube videos so much I'm now subscribed to some of them, read Jane Eyre, updated iPhones and iPad (not mine), edited pictures using the Camera+ app (it's so fun I might pick up photographing haha), played Lego with my grandma (yes my grandma is cool like that yo), watched movies and went swimming with Jemimah and Johanna, and took videos with my family's camcorder. It's a Panasonic HDC-SD20 (i think) and it's been laying there in the bag and untouched for months, while I was searching for new hobbies high and low. Tsk tsk tsk.
So I really was figuring out what course I wanna do, which university, etc. until the Japan disaster got me thinking "does it really matter now?" "I don't wanna be apart from my family when the time comes!"
I'm kidding. I'm seriously considering my options. And the results are coming out in three days, when I've been waiting for three months. Time flies even when you're doing nothing.
Oh I've also amused myself with riddles of sorts. Thought it'd get my brain working for a bit. Here's one for you:
The maker doesn't want it, the buyer doesn't use it, the user doesn't see it. What is it?
Please do figure it out for a moment before you give up and ask Google for help. It's really logical!
Song of the entry! "Hey Stephen" by Taylor Swift. I play it on my guitar whenever I wanna get silly. Annoys my sister to no end. =P

Overload
So many things are running through my mind. I cannot slow any of them down and actually analyse them properly.
Wasted time. Wasting time. Procrastination. Priorities. Goals. Decisions. Patience. Insecurities. Disappointment. Letting down and being let down. Loving and being guarded. Relationships. Letting go. Being loved. Simple joys. Contentment. Desires. Courage. Growing up.
Maybe I'm overthinking. I may need productivity. Or maybe solitude from thoughts is what I need. I have a feeling my wake up call is coming soon. Meanwhile I just need to enjoy my chillin' life right now and make the most out of it.
Song stuck in my head: 'Yang Terutama'. It tugged my heartstrings especially when the chorus was sung. I still can't find the official/nicer version of it =( I need to put it on my lullaby playlist!

Don't be afraid
"Don't be afraid to make mistakes"
I always thought this is just another philosophical phrase that I'd never really apply to my life. I mean, why make mistakes when you can just do things the way you're familiar with? Be in your own comfort zone? It would make life so much more simple, wouldn't it?
But no, life is too short for that.
I've been thinking about that lately during these times when my days are just a blur of routines. What can I do to "live life like there's no tomorrow", when everyday I am waiting for tomorrow to come? *coughs* SPM results. *coughs*
In making mistakes, I don't mean deliberately making mistakes. I mean taking a chance at things I've always wanted to do but never got to it, or making a decision that might make or break. It might not turn out the way I wanted to, but it's a risk worth taking. And with much praying, I believe, "God is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think." - Ephesians 3 :20
Besides, "we can do no great things, only small things with great love" - Mother Teresa
Meanwhile, The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks brought tears to my eyes. And there's a sequel, The Wedding. I'm very tempted to buy it.
