Do you know how hard it is to forget someone?
When that person is the one who broke the walls that you've built after you're hurt
When that person is the one who could make you laugh when you're in your crankiest mood of the day
When that person is the one who could pop colours into your boring black and white life
When that person is the one who could bring the inner, happy glowing you
When that person is the one who could make you try all your might to hide your feelings
When that person is the one who could bring a little blush on your cheeks when he teased you
When that person is the one who could make you worry so much when he didn't show any hint of presence everyday
When that person is the one who could make your tears fall instantly when you realize that you feel a tinge of longing feeling
When that person is the one who helps you rediscover the 'butterfly-in-your-stomach' feeling
When that person is the one who made you believe in miracles
When that person is the one who stepped little by little to the picture of your life after you realized his presence when he was at the edge of the frame
And when that person is the one whom you want to curse for taking your heart away and giving it back in crumpled, broken pieces.
It's just painful isn't it??
And i am being such a fool to just realize it now, but not able to do anything with it
I never, ever cried this much, if it is calculated for the period of one month, before. And it is just because of a jerk who made my love unrequited.
I screw up. Big time.























#nowplaying Jung Yong Hwa - Because I Miss You
"Always the exactly same sky and always the same day
Only thing that is different is that you are not here"
hey all,
my blog post this time will be a little personal. i don't know where to write this feeling down besides my own blog because there are too many close friends in facebook and twitter. i know this is not even a private or locked blog, but i also know very well that not a lot of people read this blog, so this is the safest place to write about my feeling right now because actually i don't want too many people to know about this.
especially him.
this guy who has taken my heart and healed me from my breakup.
this guy that i hated at the beginning but then filled my days with joy to the limit that i don't feel any hatred for him anymore.
this guy that i didn't plan to fall in love with.
this guy whom i thought is a carbon copy of me in the terms of thoughts and behaviours.
this guy who is not even handsome nor having killer body to fall for.
this guy whom people think can be as weird as hell.
and the only guy who can make me cry for the whole night just because of missing him.
"I thought I’ve let you go. Without anything left
No, no. I still haven’t been able to let you go"
to be honest, i only cried once because of a guy, it was when i was in high school, and it is pretty much understandable since it was one of those stupid puppy love stages and my hormonal fluctuation drove me like crazy. i have had a lot of crushes since but none of them could make my tears fall even a drop.
even for some guys that i thought i fell for 'seriously' (this post might ring a bell), or even when i had my first breakup, i didn't cry a single tear. at that time, i thought i was too sad to cry. i felt that kind of heavy burden in my chest that needed to be lifted, but i didn't manage to cry any single tear. i tried sooooo many ways to cry, but i never succeeded. the thoughts that passed my mind was 'am i that heartless? or do i love him so much that i can't even cry because of too much sadness?'. but i never managed to find the answers.
and here came this guy.
i was still stuck with my ex at that time. i said to everyone that i was over him, but actually i wasn't. he still came to my dreams. i still stalked him through his facebook profile, and i was hurt when i found out that he's with someone new. but still, i couldn't find any way to lift that heavy burden in my chest. the burden kept increasing and i still haven't found any way to cry any single tear to help remove them out.
and then this guy came with his pointless talks and witty jokes. at first i felt bothered by him, but then i was thinking, ah it won't be harmful for me to have those pointless talks with him, so i just had it a go. since then, i started to find out that we're quite alike. we have the same thoughts, we have the same kind of attitude, but somehow i found some of my missing puzzle pieces in him. he's able to calm me down, he knows how to cheer me up and make my day only by asking me how i was. he gave me attention that i didn't get from my ex when we were in relationship, and he is not even my boyfriend. and that heavy burden that has been bugging me for almost a year was finally removed without me realizing it. i was enjoying my days too much to realize that the heavy burden in my chest had been replaced with happiness.
then i realized that i'm in love with him.
and like usual, i couldn't show him how i feel. i am too afraid to let him know that i love him. i am too afraid of rejections. ah, i guess i don't need to list them all down here since you guys have been very familiar with those reasons, haven't you?
we were really close, like really really close, until all of sudden we were drifted apart by an invisible thick barrier that i cannot get through, until now.
my feeling was so mixed up since then. i kept saying to myself that i am a strong girl. i could get through my first break up easily, so this one should be a clinch. i tried to make myself busy with my assignments, my exams, my final year project, everything to get him out of my mind.
but i just can't.
"Longing for you, I am longing for you. Because I am longing for you, I call you and call you by myself everyday
Missing you, I am missing you. Because I am missing you, now I just call out your name like a habit. Even today"
especially knowing that he's in love with someone else, it just teared me up little by little to accept the truth that everything we had was nothing than a good friendship, or the closest we can get is only a brother-sister relationship. i totally understand if he's leaving me for her since i'm definitely nothing compared to her. she's much prettier, smarter, nicer, basically much better than me, so i cannot blame him for leaving me just like that.
my feeling was really fluctuating since he's gone. at some moments, i was able to accept the reality that he's no longer there for me. he won't be there anymore to calm myself down or cheer me up whenever i have problems. i keep saying to myself that i have to face them all by myself and i have to be independent.
but i have to admit that i miss him so much. SO MUCH that it is even able to make me cry.
yes, i finally cried because of a guy.
i was crying hard too when i was watching Crazy Little Thing Called Love. the story of the movie is just like the story of my life, and the first thought that passed my mind and brought me to tears was - yes, it was him.
and last night was the worst. i listened to this song titled 'Because I Miss You' by Jung Yong Hwa and read the lyric translations. i suddenly felt like something was hitting my chest so hard that i started to tear up a little. i put this song to my 'broken' playlist in my itunes together with other brokenhearted songs that have been bringing me to sleep these months. stupidly, i just clicked the repeat button and here i am, having this song on repeat until now. i cried so hard last night and i only could stop when i fell asleep. i really felt that this is the time when i'm missing him the most. i just want a single, simple, no-fuss 'hi' from him, and i believe that it will make my day better. however, i'm doubting that i will be okay afterwards. what if i'm missing him even more, like what's happening now? i'm missing him like crazy now because of him dropping by to know how i'm doing several days ago, and leaving me since. it's like being in a rollercoaster. you feel the excitement once you're at the top, but then feeling an instant breakdown once you're heading down to earth.
and this is what leaves me confused right now.
"Day by day, I feel like I am dying, so what could I do?"
should i just let him go?
i feel like deleting everything about him from my life. i am not deleting every access of him to get to me, but i'm planning on deleting all of my accesses to him so that i'm not 'tempted' to find out how he is.
and i am even crying while typing this blog post. i can't imagine letting him go from my life. i know he's already out of it, but thinking of totally kicking him out of my life already brings me to tears.
but i know i have to be strong. one of my besties said that 'the one whom you cry for doesn't deserve your tears, because the one who deserves it will never make you cry'.
i don't know whether this guy deserves all these tears, but what i know is i'm tired of feeling this way. i'm tired of waiting for nothing, and i'm tired of hurting myself.
so, i guess i have to let him go.
bye love. i know you won't leave my heart any sooner, but i have to forget you. i know it will be hard for me and there will be more tears coming out starting from now on, but i know that i will be alright.
thank you for cheering me up whenever i had my breakdown.
thank you for calming down whenever i was about to burst out in anger.
thank you for fulfilling my days with laughter.
thank you for giving attention to all the craps that i gave you.
thank you for bearing with me eventhough i could be so harsh to you sometimes.... i did that because i don't want you to know how i feel for you.
thank you for being my living dopamine all this time.
thank you for making me feel special at some moments.
thank you for coming to my dreams and making me smile everytime i woke up.
thank you for being there for me when i needed you.
thank you for understanding me in everything, that even surprised me because i felt like you've known me forever.
and lastly, thank you for letting me being happy in love, once again.
that's all from me. thank you for reading this crappy post. please wish me luck for this :)
"Love you, Love you. I love you. Without even being able to tell you these, I’ve had to let you go like that
Sorry, I am sorry. Can you hear me? Could you be able to hear my late confession?
I love you."
whoa. long time no see. (yes, whoa is the new hello, for me :P)
well well well, just a quick update before we're going to the main topic, i'm now home for 4 months. yes, 4 happy months. and im currently spending my holiday by having an internship for 3 months at a quite huge company in my hometown, so basically i can say that im pretty busy *cuih, hahaha* however, im still able to spend some time to write this blog post.
marriage. yes, i know that i have talked about this years ago, but i think that i need to talk about this again because this topic is quite bugging my mind recently. nope, not that i want to get married soon, not at all. to be honest, i am not ready at all for marriage life. yes, i know im 22, some of my friends are already married and quite a lot of them are now on the stage of 'ready-for-marriage' with their boyfies/girlfies, including one of my besties, riza (and now we're looking for some matching kebayas to be used for her wedding. ok, i know you guys are saying 'so what?' quietly in your heads). the rest of them who are having single status now are trying to find their life-partner wannabe and their parents are already asking them with the same old question, "so... where is our in-law-wannabe?"
what about me?
well, so far, my dad is the only dad who is not worried at all about his eldest daughter's marriage while almost all of my friends' dads have been bugging their children with that somehow irritating question, especially to those who haven't found their life-partner-wannabe yet. he keeps asking me to finish at least my master degree before thinking about having a boyfriend. yes, you are not misreading it, i just mentioned 'having a boyfriend', not 'getting married'. so, basically you can figure out what my dad thinks about marriage. it is actually okay for me, because, to be honest, right now, marriage scares me out. i've been knowing my dad for my whole life and i still have some fights with him sometimes. i cannot imagine living with a guy that only knows me for, lets say, a year or so. i also still have no idea on how to be a good in-law, whether it is as a daughter or a sister.
so, what is actually bugging me?
first of all, it's people around me. besides my family, of course. well, i know that as long as it's not your own family who's bugging you, you dont need to be worried about what people think. however, when the number of people keeps increasing, it's a lie if you dont start to feel uneasy. as i have told you at the beginning of this post, i am currently having my internship. those who are working in the same office with me have been asking whether im single, so i answered that i am. unexpectedly, they looked surprised when they knew that im 22 and single. they all said that girls at my age are supposed to be worried if they are not getting married soon.
it's a big fat lie if i say that im not worried. i am worried, i am. i dont want to end my twenties without having a husband next to me, but dont ask me to get married now, because im not ready at all. if you start to think that im such a carreer-oriented girl who doesnt want to get married, yes i am, i admit that. i am a kind of person who cannot stay at home and be a committed housewife. not that i underestimate women who are housewives, not at all. being a housewife is one of the toughest jobs that a woman can do, but that just doesnt suit me.
secondly, it's myself. i am afraid.
my friends are currently looking for boyfies/girlfies to be their 'one' later. they are not being in a relationship just for fun or something like that. they want committed and serious relationship. once i tried to ask myself, am i looking for the same type of relationship? surprisingly, the thought that passed my head was 'no'. this is actually related with what i wrote earlier, that i am not ready to get married. i might look kind of desperate by not having a boyfriend, but it is also actually me who is afraid to start a new relationship. i am afraid of a relationship that goes with a title of 'marriage-ready' relationship. i am afraid that i will not be able to fullfil my other half's expectation to be a, at least, good wife. basically, i am still not able to take care of myself, then how can i take care of my other half and my family later if i am married now? and WHEN AM I GONNA BE READY? that question is what is actually bugging me.
but still, it's not like i dont want to get married. i do. i want to get married when my age reaches 25, and i hope i am matured enough at that age so that im ready to be totally committed. hopefully i am already able to finish my master degree when i am 25 later so that at least i already fullfil my dad's basic requirement :P however, i dont want to have that age as a marriage target. i dont want to set any age as my target because God is fully in charge for this case, in my opinion. you can meet your soulmate in sooooo many unexpected ways. it's not like you are getting A for your exam because you have been studying hard and praying for it. you can try as hard as you can do to find your soulmate, but if that is not the right time for you to find your soulmate, no matter how hard you try, you still have to wait.
so, i guess i just need to wait and go with the flow :)
i knooooow that this post is one of my random-est post i've ever written. however, still, enjoy it and please bear with me :P
see you when i see you :)
hey all,
i made this blog post exactly one day before i give up my 21 and say hello to my second twin numbers after 11. yes, it's 22. as usual, i feel like doing re-capping of my 21 in this blog and... ok, here we go.
my 21 is completely different from my 20. when i was 20, i started to learn new things and experienced things that i hadn't experienced before. i changed little by little and i started to find my own personality, eventhough i still cannot say that my personality now is completely developed. during my 21, i started to live my life with my so-called new personality. i have to say that everything didn't go smoothly with this new personality. sometimes i have to look back and think, is this a person who i wanted to be? if this is, shouldn't i be happy about it? or is this just another fake personality of me? however, after asking all of these questions to myself which was fulfilled by doubt, i always found the answer of 'yes, this is the new me, and this is how i want it to be', finally. i have to admit that sometimes i miss the old, introvert me who was the lone ranger undergoing a black and white life, but now i know that adding a little spark of colour will not be harmful :)
during my 21, i lost some acquitances, but i gained more friends, good friends who sprinkled more colour to my life, and i am really grateful for that. these new friends also played important role in developing a new me. i have to admit that i felt confused sometimes. everyone has their own principles and values of life, which might be different from mine. this leads me to confusion when their own principles clashed with mine, and makes me think that "are the principles that i've been holding on all this time alright?", which is good because it actually helped me in finding who i am and who i want to be.
i also got A LOT of surprises, either bitter or sweet ones. too much surprises until now i'm reaching the level of i will not be surprised if i'm getting any more surprises, either academically or in other aspects of life. however, i think those surprises taught me how not to be a too-panicky person. those who know me are already used to my panicky behaviour, and somehow those surprises changed me bit by bit to be calmer in receiving all news whether they are good or bad. i know i am still a panicky person deep inside here, but i have to say that i'm no longer that super-panicky person that you want to slap and you know who i used to be :P
FYI, my fyp is already finished and i have submitted my thesis. i also have undergone my seminar and now i am waiting for my viva. three important things were happening during my 21 and i am happy that i got through them well. i miss my labwork though :P
i guess these words already did their job well in recapping my past one year being 21. i don't know how my 22 will be, but hopefully it will give me sweeter memories than my past years and i'm hoping that i will get greater achievements ahead with health and family still being my top priority.
see ya later alligator! :p
hella fellas.
wow wow, here we are, reaching the end of 2010. after looking back, i realized that i only made 4 blog posts this year. four, yes FOUR. instead of fourteen or forty. i'm such a good writer, aren't i? *sigh*
and in this post, i'm about to disappoint you all because i'm not gonna write my 'best of the best in 2010' this year. why? well... because my life has gone pretty boring this year. i didn't read any books besides anything related to my FYP or school stuff, i still go to the same restaurants where i went to last year, i haven't found new favorite foods, and i didn't watch any tv series regularly (i haven't even finished the first season of glee, second season of gossip girl, and third season of big bang theory!). yes, to be specific, school stuff has made my life gone pretty pathetic. *another deep sigh*
however, i'm still living my pathetic life happily because i have one great remedy which is always ready everytime i need it. and i always bring it everywhere i go because this is one of a few things which is able to boost my mood instantly (besides good food, of course).
yes, it's music.
i might have told you all a zillion times that i cannot live without music and i change my playlist regularly. i'm a type of person who will listen a newly downloaded song in repeat until i get bored and delete it from my playlist. however, thanks to my itunes, i can know the top 25 most played songs in my computer. i downloaded this itunes during february or march, if i'm not mistaken, so i still can consider the top 25 most played songs in my itunes is my top 25 most played songs this year, can't i? :D don't worry, i know that 25 song titles + its explanations will take a lot of space in this little tiny blog, so i'm going to take only 10 of them :)
here we go.
10. Paramore - Turn it Off
i started listening to this song after i bought my ticket to Paramore's concert and downloaded the whole album of Brand New Eyes. to be honest, i couldn't fall in love instantly to paramore's songs besides the ones which are selected to be their singles. i had to listen to the songs a few times before i decided to 'like' the song. surprisingly, it didn't happen to this song. i fell in love directly even when i first listened to its intro. i couldn't delete this song from my playlist since :D.
9. Enrique Iglesias feat Pitbull - I Like It
this song is veeeery catchy and i can't help myself not to move my bod everytime this song is played. at first i didn't like this song that much, but since all radio stations play it like all the time, i got used to it until the limit that i always move my bod everytime this song is played, hahaha.
8. Timmy Thomas - Dying Inside to Hold You
watch the video above and you will realize how OLD this song is. if you're wondering why this song is on repeat in my playlist, the story is simple. i was pressing the button from one radio station to another one night, and i reached one radio station that was playing those old-times-songs or something like that. i was about to change the station, but directly cancelled it when i heard this song for the first time. yes, i fell in love at the first hearing, and the song is still playing now in my playlist. the story inside this song is more or less like mine, about when you fall in love with someone but you cannot tell it to that person about how they make you feel :)
7. Taylor Swift feat Colbie Caillat - Breathe
this song was my soundtrack when i had my breakup, to be honest. the lyrics might sound cheesy, but this is actually one song that makes me strong and leads me to think that God has an awesome plan for me ahead and now i realize that yes, breaking up with him was one of the best decisions that i have made this year :)
6. Katy Perry - Self Inflicted
i'm not a big fan of katy perry, this song is not released as one of her singles, and radio stations never play this song even once. i knew this song from my sister when i asked her for suggestions for new songs to be played in my playlist. yes, everytime i feel bored with the songs in my playlist, she is the first person that i ask for suggestions since she's more updated than me when it goes to new musics and luckily we have the same taste in music. at first i was thinking like 'what the heck is this song about?', but after i listened to it and read its lyrics many times, i started to think that this is such a great song because it came up with an idea about one psychotic relationship instead of lovey-dovey sh*t like some other love songs. self-inflicted violence may happen to anyone and unfortunately, i rarely heard of anyone talking about this issue while actually this is very important for people to know because it might danger someone's life. katy perry should open everyone's eyes by making this her single, don't you think so? :/
5. Katharine McPhee feat Zachary Levy - Terrified
i fall in love with this song mostly because of its lyrics. the situation that happens to me everytime i fall in love is well-described in this song. i feel happy, but terrified at the same time. i'm afraid that the person i fall in love with won't reciprocate my feelings. i'm afraid that i cannot be a good girlfriend once i'm involved in a relationship. i'm afraid of breakups. however, i still put my hopes everytime i fall in love, and listening to this song makes me feel a little better knowing that i'm not the only one feeling terrified in this world :)
4. Nelly - Just A Dream
i love this song, but i cannot understand the video, at all. for me, it totally ruins the idea of this song. his dream is actually simple, about his life with girl of his dream. however, when he wakes up, everything is totally different and he realizes that it is just a dream. the video makes this idea looks... complicated. WAY more complicated. and why the heck am i talking about the video? well, overall, i love this song and until now i still play it on repeat :D
3. Three 6 Mafia feat Tiesto and Sean Kingston - Feel It
way before Far East Movement gets famous with their G6, i already listened to techno-combined-with-rap song and this is one of my favorites. what i like from this song is that all you need is get hyped while enjoying the rhyme :)
2. Cheryl Cole - Parachute
i first listened to the song on the radio and i was interested with its beat. i don't understand music that much, but it seems like a lot of types of drums were played during the recording and it turns on the 'wowness' factor of this song for me. the video is also unique with the dance and all, simple but amazing :)
and the most played song in 2010 goes to...
*drumrolls*
1. Miranda Cosgrove - Kissing You
please guys, don't be surprised. i hate it when itunes tells me the truth that the most played song this year is one cheesy lovey-dovey song which tells you that kissing a person will make you feel alive and let you find all the answers and solutions to your problems. however, i have to admit that this song is cheery, quite catchy, and i love having this song in my playlist, seriously. to be honest, for some days, this song was the one that boosted my mood and made my day. yes, it's the truth, i'm telling you :D
sooo... it's 4 days before 2010 ends. in conclusion, i am happy with my life in 2010 with every experience of life that i have gone through, i appreciate them a lot, i feel blessed, and i'm hoping that my family's life and mine will be much much MUCH better in 2011. amien :)
though it might be too early, please let me wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)
cheerio :)
hello peeeeps, long time no see... oh well, i know that i rarely updated my blog because i'm busy (and i don't have anything special to tell :P).. but now i think i would update this blog more rarely because i become much much BUSIER T__T
why?
because that's what final year is all about :D
seriously, i'm not being hyperbolic or such thing like that... ask any student you know from final year batch in faculty of food science an technology, universiti putra malaysia, they will say the same thing like i did. this is because we have two big projects at the same time in one semester: final year project (FYP) and new food product development (PD).
FYP is, of course, a project that needs to be finished by university students in order to be graduated, which is usually done at their final year. my FYP itself is about white dragon fruit powder and bread. yes, i'm going to make bread with white dragon fruit powder mixed in it and investigate the quality of dough and the bread itself. why dragon fruit powder? well, it's because white dragon fruit is rich in soluble fibres and antioxidant, however, to preserve it, to make it more practical, and to make it able to be mixed with any types of food easily, it needs to be turned into powder first. bread is my food of choice because of its status as staple food and so far, in the markets, i only see one way to obtain fibres in your bread: adding whole grain, which mostly consists of insoluble fibres. do you know that soluble fibre can prevent high blood glucose level, while insoluble fibre can't? it's because soluble fibre can be dissolved in water inside your tummy and form gel that slows down the absorption of nutrient. it also lowers your cholesterol level by trapping the bile acids using that gel and removing them from your body. from the journals i have read, addition of soluble fibres, unlike insoluble fibres, does not change the appearance and texture of bread significantly, therefore it is suitable for those who don't like the coarse texture of fibre-enriched bread. sounds interesting, doesn't it? i have submitted my proposal, and now i'm still in the progress of making a good bread because, seriously, bread making is not as simple as you think. it is easy at the mixing stage, but when you reach the kneading stage, this is the time when your bread making skill is tested. i still fail at this stage because kneading bread dough is definitely not as easy as forming your play-doh eventhough the texture is almost the same. however, i found this challenging and i am thinking of taking one-day-course for breadmaking with one staff in my faculty whom i heard is very experienced in breadmaking stuff. hail to the breadmakers! :D

my latest trial. looks pretty good, isn't it?? hehehe *but ignore the crust please. it's as hard as a stone :D*
the other project, PD, is a project of inventing a new food product which has never been invented before in the world, and at the end of semester, our product is going to be competed with other products on launching day attended by judges from top food companies in malaysia. for new food product development, this is actually a group project that consists of 12 heads which can be used for the sake of creativity. however, we still can't say that this is an easy job because there are a lot of things that we need to think about when we're going to invent new food product. we have to think about the perfect formulation (which is the hardest part among all >,<), production thingy, packaging, marketing stuff, and now we know why a food company needs a big team when they're going to improve or make new product :D. unluckily, my groupmates picked me as their group leader, and i was very afraid at first because i had never been a group leader for such big project like this, and i think there are persons in my group who can do better than me in this leadership thingy. but, at the end, i think this is my chance to improve my leadership skill and to try my best, rite? so, doing all my best is the best that i can do :) and oh, our group is going to do cassava chips. no, this is not like cassava chips you see in the markets, of course. and what is the difference from the ones sold in the markets? i'm gonna let you know once we succeed :)

our latest cassava chips trial. ha, can you see the difference already? :D
besides having these two big projects, we still have to attend classes, have quizzes, and exams like previous semesters, so you can imagine how hectic this semester is for us :D. started from this year, final year batch is divided into minors which we can choose by ourselves. i chose functional food as my minor because i'm more into food chemistry thingy instead of food safety stuff (because i'm not a microbiology person. i can't do the same thing everyday like counting bacteria growth) or food engineering thingy (i HATE physics so much, remember?). besides, since i'm thinking of working in R&D division later, this minor is the most related to R&D stuff. hopefully i'm taking the right minor :)
soooo, last but not least, i hope you guys could wish me a BIG, HUGE, good luck :) thanks before peeps :)
see you when i see you later :)
