I guess you’ve probably done some thinking through, right?

January 3, 2008

I believe many people are contradicting themselves right now.

Some say that they wanna keep in touch as often even after school reopens but now is now too engrossed with their new friends.

Some say they wouldn’t let relationships affect their life anymore but now is now in love with friends of the opposite sex made recently.

Some resolute to study hard this year but is right now taking back all their words the because the teacher says lesson begins on the second day of school.

Some say they will do their homework immediately after dinner but end up watching television.

Some say they will save a percentage of their money earned during the holidays but has spent them on expensive school bags, shoes, and so on.

Some say they don’t give a damn about the failed relationship, when deep down inside, they give the world’s damn.

I’m writing my chinese journal now, the title is, “What have I gained and lost during the school holidays.”
Besides knowledge, besides experience, I really don’t know what have I gained, and what have I lost. I’ve earned money, I’ve lost money, I’ve made friends, I’ve lost friends. So many things has happened. I don’t really know how to start writing.


我想我是太过依赖
在挂电话的刚才
坚持学单纯的小孩
静静看守这份爱
知道不能太依赖
怕你会把我宠坏
你的香味一直徘徊
我舍不得离开

I’ve been tired since I woke up today, or rather, yesterday.
My mood right now is rather shitty. I don’t know.
I don’t know what’s going on.
I don’t know what’s happening.
I don’t know why.
I know this is normal.
I don’t know why is this normal.
I know the cause. — The thoughts running through my mind right now.
At times like that, I’d usually hit the gym, dive into the pool, or simply blast music with my headset on.
It’s 3:32AM, both the gym and the pool are closed, and my songs are contributing to the thoughts in my mind right now, that I refuse to get rid of. I wanna continue thinking the thoughts that are in my mind now, that are making me feel screwed up.
I’m holding onto “what if.”
If it wasn’t there, now I’d be a 100% confused man.
Maybe I’m too sensitive, but oh well.

My dog looks like a lamb now.

Black and white keys.

December 2, 2007

Go to YouTube, and search for David Sides. I was listening to Jay Chou’s Feng, a song I never get tired of, because of its wonderful music and lyrics. I thought of looking at some piano playing videos on YouTube and I found David Sides’ then I kept on repeating his videos. His skills on the piano gives me the goosebumps. His simply impressive. Compared to me… I can only play Lee Hom- Kiss Goodbye’s, Lin Jun Jie-Cao Cao’s and Jay Chou-Feng’s starting? WITH THE CHORD. Hahaha. But I’m proud that I did it all based on hearing, and NO NOTES AT ALL! I’m making myself feel better by saying that I can’t play the rest of the songs because once the other instruments come in, I can’t hear the piano in the background clearly. Eheheheh.

Someone was telling me how his girlfriend broke up with him for another guy she has known for less than 1 month.
They knew each other since young, they studied in the same kindergarten and primary school, has been going out often since they went into different secondary schools. They were together for very long, although only “officially together” for a year.
And recently, they broke up.
He told me everything in detail, but I won’t say everything in detail.

Here’s how:
They went for job interviews together. And as they had to be interviewed one by one, while the guy was being interviewed, another guy chatted up his girlfriend and got her number.
He let her know that he lives in a semi-detached house down at Thomson Road, he let her know that he has his own Mercedez SLK and is working just to accompany his friends, he let her know that he is studying business to take over HIS DAD’s BIG business.
And the very impressed girl got attracted to that guy’s wealth, looks, and err, false intelligence.
They started going out, and now the girl has broke up with her boyfriend, for that guy.

Friendship since young, relationship since a year ago. All gone within a month. Wow, it’s possible.
He asked me to explain it. Er.

I remember saying, immature girls have no fixed way of falling in love. There is no fixed thing that, attracts them?
Now I know what. There are a few. In fact it applies to immature guys as well.

1. Looks
2. Build/Body
3. Wealth(This doesn’t really apply to guys)
4. Brains(For guys, I think most won’t mind girls more stupid than them)

As for feeling? As long as the partner possesses any of the above, or one or more, there will definitely be a good feeling ;D So for the best feeling, the partner should possess all of them.
Step right out of your house now, and look at all the couples now, the adult ones, or at least, those of age 20 and above. What’s are their partners like? You are seeing more and more girls choosing smart guys, and guys choosing good looking girls that are able to communicate with them. Not all are like that, but more will be, because they learn from the old people’s mistakes.
In 10 years time, you will see parents using “finding a good partner” as the main reason to make their kids study, and not “finding a good job.” Trust me.
I think as we grow, our mind is more capable of selecting choices, due to experiences we’ve gone through. When we are young, we select our partner based on looks, wealth, body, OR brain, maybe some select partners based on 2 aspects and above, but hardly. As we get older, we can judge more aspects of a person just by looking at him/her. We select partners based on overall results of all 4 aspects(looks, body, wealth, brains). Each weighs 25%, the perfect partner would consist of 25% looks, 25% body, 25% wealth, 25% brains. Also, as we grow older, “feeling” is another aspect to consider, but how do you know if you feel good? Same. If one possesses all 4 aspects, the feeling would be good. Otherwise, it’s just based on trust, comfort, and security.

Some smart people are stupid, and vice versa.

November 17, 2007

The title of this entry is… out of anger, envy, jealousy, pity, hatred. I MIGHT elaborate on it in the later part of this post.

Basically on the 15th, was prom night, we went there, we ate, we had fun, we played pool. The dinner ended around 9:45PM, and we hanged around Yio Chu Kang till 11+ or so. Me, Charles, ShaoLoong, Dixon, Fabian, and Kevin headed down to The Concourse and played pool till 2 or 3AM, took some pictures.

prom1.jpgprom2.jpg

We did not plan to go home, so we sat at MacDonalds and fell asleep till morning, around 7AM, headed home, bathed and changed, came back out to meet Dixon again for work. We worked from 11:50AM to 11PM, although we were paid for 30Mins more because we didn’t get to eat. Me, Dixon and Fabian had supper, then headed home.

I woke at 2PM, looked at my Celio’s working roster, and it says “Work, 12PM to 6PM,” but I looked at my phone and wondered why my manager didn’t call me… So I waited till 4, and he called me, he asked me to go down and work till the shop closes. Okay so I went down, worked, had supper with my brother, and now I’m here, 2:21AM.

I can’t upload songs on WordPress, don’t know why. Ain’t a good thing. Wonder where can I find really good journal hosts…

Anyway, that music is S.E.N.S’s Wish. I am into music, and that is one slow piece, it might sound boring, but I love it. Whenever I listen to it, I reflect a lot, and I mean, a lot. It’s a rather sad piece though.

Some smart people are stupid, and vice versa. What can I say… I just know of many people who are really very smart, but are also stupid. Like, when there is two free sofa to choose from, one is an antique, which can be sold for a million dollars, and the other is a new one, worth $100,000. A very stupid smart girl chooses the new one.

This is why I say, some smart people are stupid, and vice versa. I said vice versa because stupid people can be smart too, they just choose not to. I’m not feeling very happy now, neither am I feeling very upset… Okay actually I’m kinda upset, but I know I shouldn’t be. Ah F*** it, my emotions are screwed, I feel screwed. Since my feelings are screwed, it isn’t really something I should feel good about, so I’m unhappy.

This is what I think about myself, or rather, what I have to say about myself:

  1. Emotionally, I am VERY, VERY, sensitive. You hardly get to see my breakdown because I control my emotions well. Even if I do breakdown, I’d hardly let anyone see.
  2. I control my emotions well, I control my anger well.
  3. I get pissed off very easily as well, but then again, I can keep everything in well.
  4. I am capable of keeping things to myself so much so that I think I am overdoing it, I really need to see a counsellor/psychologist because their title reduces my reluctance to spill everything out.
  5. There are some people I know that I can share my problems with.
  6. There are some people that I WANT to know my problems, but I can’t seem to let them know.
  7. I am easily distracted by my thoughts.
  8. I can think so hard it takes someone shouting right into my ears to get my attention.
  9. I am very sentimental. And I mean, very. Never mind, make that extremely.
  10. I can endure “longer than I can” when I am determined(Usually when something of mine is at stake).
  11. I fall in love easily. I am VERY vulnerable to limerence.
  12. I love laughing.
  13. For now,  I think I’m feeling very down.
  14. I like to create, I like to design, I like to make.
  15. I like to argue, I like to debate, I like to explain.
  16. I like to analyze problems.
  17. There are many stuffs I tell people to do, that I myself don’t know how to, YET.
  18. I can’t bear to let go off my memories with close friends.
  19. I like music.
  20. I like to hear of people’s problems. I like to share people’s problems. I like to solve people’s problem for them. I like people to confide in me. I wanna be everybody’s confidant.

It’s 3AM. I’m not feeling very happy. I’m feeling very… This isn’t a good feeling for all I care.

E-mail, e-mail.

November 13, 2007

 It’s an email I received from some teenage guy, around my age according to him. Wanting to know how to teenage girls get attracted in my point of view.

Haha, honestly speaking, I don’t know. Yet. But I’ll give it a go. ;D

Firstly, you have to know whether a girl is fully matured or not. How do you know? Let’s assume the guy is a perfect one. She wants a breaks up for no good reason, she doesn’t attempt to handle the reason, she falls for other guys although her’s is almost as good or better, she gets bored of him, very small things about a guy can impress her and make her over the moon.

Hahaha, basically this means, even when the best guy/partner on Earth stands infront of a “immature girl,” she might not choose him! There is no fixed reason for an immature girl’s attraction!

It’s different, for different girls, or maybe, for girls in different groups. Look at their friends. Because immature girls would most probably go for reputation or status among their friends, they would probably get a guy that their friends look up to. So if you like a girl whose in love with rock bands, then she probably likes guys like the guys in that band. If she’s crazy over guys who drive, who ride, who are filthy rich, good luck. If she’s crazy over music, most probably she likes musicians. They say teenagers are too young to go into a relationship, because you see, they fall in love, according to what they like at that time, what they feel at that time. If you do a make over and look like some punk, and your girlfriend suddenly falls in love with horse racers, are you gonna go ride horses in skinny jeans, super thick eyebrows, black lips, and a head half bald?

But one thing for sure, all girls do go for security and comfort. Imagine going out with a guy who talks to you about killing everyday. Or imagine going out with a girl, and when some big sized gangsters approaches her for her number, your tone, your face, and everything else changes and obviously telling everyone that you’re scared. Your mouth plays a big role in getting, keeping and maintaining a relationship, your actions too.

It’s solid, too hard to break, and we’ve got it, it’s too hard to take.

Tomorrow I will get knocked by a bicycle tonight

November 9, 2007

Today, met up with Lydia at 2:45PM, supposingly for “very early dinner” but we ended up walking around AMK hub, at which Mark came later. Then we headed down to town to eat at Lido, went for work and Mark left. Work ended, Lydia’s dad drove me home(opposite home) like yesterday, but today, was with YingZong, we went for supper at the cafe JiaSheng’s working at.

I don’t expect anyone to understand this entry’s title.. I’ll explain. Tomorrow, I will call up somebody, tell her that I’ve been knocked by a bicycle “last night,” injured my leg, and the doctor gave me an MC for 3 days. Why am I so smart? Eheheh.

Okay, so for the next 3 days, I’m not working, I’m free. Maybe not so free, I have things on. Back to work on tuesday, this time I think with more friends from school, a good and a bad thing. I won’t elaborate.

Anyway, BYATELIER will be launched in a few months time. If you don’t know what’s BYATELIER, wait and see for yourself.
From Mario Vazquez’s One Shot:
Listen to this. Girl, if you’ll give me one shot, I will love you forever now.
No man will do you better now.
Love is a risk, girl, if you’ll give me one shot, I will show you you’re the only girl, in this world, who can, give me this feeling.
Baby, that’s how I feel about you. You’re one in a million, I’d rather die than live without you.
We can’t miss, so if you’ll give me one shot, we can do it girl.

Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow

October 30, 2007

Okay, basically I usually ignore phone calls when I am still very tired and don't want to wake up, but today, although I was still very tired, I heard my phone ring, I answered it without looking at who called, and that phone call made my day. My mood for the day to be exact, but I did fight with my mood though, so in the end it isn't really that bad.

To those who have been asking me questions through commenting on my entries, if you wish to, you can e-mail me at brighton.y@gmail.com instead, as I believe some of you out there might have more personal questions or things to say which you think wouldn't be good to be showed as a comment even though your identity is kept anonymous.
Questions that I think I have answers that are too long for a reply as a comment, I'll just answer them through my entries.
In my previous post, someone asked:

“How do I approach a girl that I've never spoken to before, and befriend her?”

This is more of a Men's post, but girls should read too, just incase I make any mistake in trying to “explain” you. (;
Before answering, I have to make this clear, I am typing everything with my very own understanding, in my very own opinion. Any advices given by me MIGHT NOT be reliable, I am not what you call a successor in the relationship stuffs, in addition to that, I've never got myself to apply any of my own advices in my own life when it comes to relationship, don't ask me why, probably because of my failure to “execute” them in time, or courageously enough. By the way, to the guy who posted the question of this entry, I don't know your name, I'd just call you ABC in this entry if I have to, hope you don't mind that. Here goes:

You always hear this saying in Singapore, it says, “Guy see looks, girl see feeling.”
Well, it's true, more or less. But I wouldn't use “looks” and “feeling.”
I would use “appearance” and “value.”

I would say:

Fully matured men get impressed by a woman's appearance(sexual appeal) at first.
Fully matured women get impressed by a man's value to her at first.

Hardly would you see fully matured men get impressed by a woman's value at first.
Hardly would you see fully matured women get impressed by a man's appearance at first.

Take note of “Fully matured.”
Don't give a damn about immature minds yet, they don't know who, what, why, when, where and how they like someone else.

There are differences between immature and mature minds. When a retard comes by, an immature mind would laugh and gossip about the retard, whereas a mature mind would just shut up. But one thing for sure is that, both immature and mature mind would see the retard as someone of little value to them, and wouldn't really wanna associate with them.  For women, they don't judge you by your appearance, they judge you by your value to them. You see, when a woman is attractive, this means that many guys “react in a way”, or to be more exact, be more or less, “sexually aroused” upon seeing her, and thus would behave in a certain way. Living for at least 10 to 15 years already, she would have been already be able to “recognise” the behaviours, and so she knows who is attracted to her, and who is not. She has seen lots of guys reacting to her, for years, maybe decades, she is sick of such guys, they don't turn her on in anyway. So the bottom line is that, women are more attracted to men who don't “react like all other low valued guys” upon seeing her, because the fact that a man isn't “impressed” by her appearance already makes her question herself, and at the same time feels that she gives more damn about you than you give a damn about her. She feels that in this world, you are more wanted than she is, she feels that being with you would definitely bring more “wants” than being with the others. That's when going over and saying a simple “hi” and being friends is something possible. Starting a conversation with her wouldn't be easy, and wouldn't be hard as well. It takes courage. It takes quick thinking. Stutter and you're gone. You have to speak fluent, you have to maintain your high value to her. Because don't forget that as long as you take the initiative to befriend her, you rip off a bit of your value to her although she still is impressed by your ability to stay “calm.” Women don't like guys who are interested in their appearances, right? So try your best to speak more to make her think that you are interested in her, but not her appearances, like her sense of fashion, her voice, how much you two have in common, and at the same time, making her “more” into the interaction between you and her.

Let's say, you've accomplished the first impression part. Now you are friends, how are you gonna remain friends, or go further? Well, just look at you and your friends, or if any girl out there likes you, what would make you remain their friends, or go further? Many would say security, many would say comfort, many would say sense of belonging, bingo. They are all the same. When you feel secured, you feel comfortable, when someone is willing to secure, you feel as though you belong to em. Hmmm, how do I put this? Just make her feel comfortable the way you want your friends to make you feel comfortable with them. Don't pull off cold jokes, if you don't have a funny face to back it up. Don't drink if you can't. Don't take a cab if you can't afford to. Make her feel good, make her your company and vice versa, don't be her dog. Don't make your value so low she feels as though you're getting more and more of a well-designed book cover jerk. Spend time with her doing things with meanings, with value, not burn paper and say it's fun. Make sure she thinks that you are one man, that can be relied on forever, trusted forever, secure her forever, comfort her forever. Be there for her. 

To impress, is to increase value. Here's an example: 
When your friend shows you his huge muscles, you feel more secured with him, because you need not fear any bad guys. And he becomes of more value to you.

That's all I have to say.
How far you want to go, it's all up to you. This is all I think I know. How much you trust my “personal opinions and understandings” depends on you.

I’d say that I’m intrepid.

October 28, 2007

In my previous post, someone posted a question as a comment.
The question was this:

“Why is it that when a guy's love for a girl gets turned down, they will stop talking to each other?”

Firstly, this happens to girls too. Secondly, not all will stop talking to each other, many remain friends.
So let's say they do stop talking to each other.
I don't know, I think it's because of self-esteem, anger/hatred, or embarassment.

Self-esteem:
When you see a very good-looking, hot guy with a big group of hot sizzling female models, would you go up to him and ask to make friends? Chances are, you won't. Because you feel as though you aren't “good enough” to make friends with him, compared to the female models.
If you do, and if that guy says “No, I don't want to be your friend,” it would feel as though he just gave you a hard push away, making you never want to go near him as you fear he might do it again. You never thought that you were so much “lower” than him than you thought you were.
He basically ripped off your self-esteem. And from then on, whenever you see another hot guy out there, you would recall what happened and would never think of wanting to attempt to make friends with any hot guy, anymore(until you pick yourself up, once again).
When it comes to relationship, it's the same. You ask to go steady with a guy, he tells you no, you think that he doesn't like you, you won't feel good talking to him in future.

Anger/Hatred:
You know, those people who comes to you when they need help, and when you ask them for help, they refuse? Those that act as if they like you a lot, care for you a lot, just to get some of your money, to get to know some of your good-looking guy friends. And when they get what they want from you, they keep a distance away from you. When this happens, you dislike them, you feel angry, and sometimes it gets serious enough for you to hate them. Sometimes, in the process of wooing a girl, a guy does every single thing for her, he continues to woo her because they both get very close to each other. But the girl gets close to him just to make him do more for her. When the guy thinks the time is ripe, he pops the question, and gets rejected. 
He would then question himself over and over, big and bold in his mind:

 ”she has lots of laughter when she's with me, she holds me when she's scared, she turns to me when she has nowhere else to go, she turns to me when she's bored, she turns to me whenever she's free to go out, so why reject my love?”
  

The guy feels cheated, the guy feels stupid, the guy feels that his been made a fool. He hates that, he dislikes her for doing all that, and doesn't even get an apology.

Embarrassment:
I don't think there's much to say for this, sometimes when one gets rejected, he or she will think, “did I make a fool out of myself? I'm just a nobody, and I'm asking him/her to be my partner? What a joke!”
And from then on, wouldn't really “dare to” face up to that person.
