Let's talk about love.
The emotion that drives people nuts, an emotion full of contradictions.
They say:
Love is sacrificial, love is selfish.
Love brings you to the top of the world, love thrashes you to a bottomless pit.
Love is happiness, love is madness.
Love makes you open your eyes, love makes you blind.
So what is love? What is considered your first love and where can you find true love?
Seeing the things that happen around me each day just allows me to discover more about this emotion that was once so foreign to me.
Was your heart ever broken before? Felt as though it was the end of the world just because this significant one never had his or her feelings reciprocated? Ever felt your heart bleed so painfully and never ever want to experience this heartache again? You learnt to pick yourself up and started building this safety barrier before you, afraid of falling into the deep dark pit once more, allowing no one to cross this invisible barrier you've built.
Lo and behold, just when you thought no one could ever enter again, this special one has already started to tear down your fortress even without you realising it and has secretly started to enter your heart. Many times you've wondered if you'll ever find this perfect one. You search through the darkest forest and got lost. You went through raging fire and got burnt. You scaled the highest mountains and fell. You went home injured and dejected, deciding to lock yourself in the safety of your home forever. It was just then you realise that the perfect tree right outside your doorstep had always been there waiting for you in full blossom.
Love happens when you least expect it to.
And dear pals, I'm not the one in love now but it was something that struck me ad mist my "wonderful" week in school. I'm so glad to have great friends in my life to stick by me and be with me whenever I need. This applies to both friends in class and Delta 09'.
Life gets sucky at times; Things change, people change, perspectives change. I've learnt my lesson on how not to judge a book by it's cover.
No matter what, my love for you will never change.

I know I owe a lot of people their birthday posts so here goes:
Hey there you pretty woman,thanks for always being there for me when I needed it. I know my bimbo-tic ways makes me a not very easy person to hang out with but I'm so thankful that you can laugh it off instead of being irritated with me. And the times when I'm angst, it sucks. But I'm glad that you're so tolerant towards me. So yea, let's continue to be good friends yea? And if you ever forget me I'll *piak piak piak* slap you. Hahas :D
Dearest Dar,
I'm touched that you yearn to spend time with the part and that you treasure all the gatherings that we have. I used to think you cold and hard to communicate with. But I've learnt that you're someone whom I can trust a lot. So don't be too stressed up with your poly life. If you ever need me I'll only be a few bus stops away from your school only and I promise that we'll never ever be apart. :) Love you!
(sorry, I couldn't find an individual shot of you :/)
Dearest Wu Jia,
You're still the oldest in our part even if we count in terms of month. But it's a good thing that there's no age barrier between you and us because you're still a kid at heart and you never look at us in a condescending manner despite being older than us. When in need, you'll speak up and exert your authority as the big sister to guide us. I hope we can still be as close as ever cause it's really hard to find a good friend who has lasted through since primary school days. :)
