i lost count...
I've lost count of the number of days. After all, each day passes the same way now.

Every morning I wake, cling-wrap the cast, and stumble my way around the bathroom for my shower. Then I will struggle around the kitchen on crutches and lunch (usually end up eating at the stove while standing one-legged, cos I haven't figured out how to carry my lunch from stove to the table while on crutches).

Usually when I'm done, I'm way too tired to do anything else, so I end up stumbling back to my room and I will either:

1) Sleep
2) Read

It's turning into a ritual, and I miss the days when I am mobile and can move merrily on my own.

On another note, my arm pits hurt from the crutches. FWAH!

Adventure!
That pretty much sums up a trip to the bathroom. It doesn't matter whether it's to brush my teeth, wash my face, get some water for cotton pad so I can moist my toes, pee, shit, etc etc etc.

HAHAHA!

So I present to you, the un-vandalised cast, for now.



Took it on my phone, so the quality is teh bad. Heh.

I better get used to it these 3 weeks, drink more milk, and remember Marcus's advice. :D

Day 4
Ok, my bandaging skills are superb -- which explains why I could still walk.

Anyway, I got my x-ray report from the clinic this afternoon and my worst fears are realised. There was a tiny crack on my foot. Any bigger, I probably need surgery.

In short:

Jess fractured her foot by stepping on people's toes.

Sheesh.

How ridiculous is that?! No morons I know actually have that happening to them -- must be a first. Goes to show one thing -- I'm so full of surprises, I even surprise myself and all the logical rules around me. -.-

Went down to NUH to have the foot place in a cast. So my wonderful leg is going to be in a cast till 23 June. That's like my whole hols gone la. :( Can't go out, can't do anything. Damn sian. Anyway, I was damn lucky to have my mom taking some time off to take me down to the hospital. I had managed to get there on my own. But by the time I had my leg in the cast, I couldn't blardy do anything -- including going to the toilet!

Ah well.

Time for some good rest, I guess.

Day 3
Day 3! I finally can move my toes! (which is a great improvement from Day 2 cos I seriously CANT even move.) 4 of my toes are bruised though... especially the last 3 with purple marks. :X

Movement is still impaired -- which frustrates me a lot. I'm still taking a damn long time to walk.

Going to get my x-ray report from the doc's tomorrow. Hopefully, it's not a fracture, but better safe than sorry. As Naz told me over msn, if it really was a fracture, I wouldn't have been able to walk to the doc and back on my own this afternoon.

Then again, it could be my superb bandaging skills

Need to pick up dress from dry cleaners too. And also tickets for play. :D Can't wait. I have no idea how I'm going to survive play and then coffee with Raina, but I will work something out.

Nothing is going to stop me from going to Bintan on Friday! :D

stage debut, no?
Dear God,

Please let GRINDER-MAN happen for me. It's going to be terrific, working with new people, familiar faces, unfamiliar faces, with varying experiences.

:X

In the meantime, it's back to resting this dratted feet of mine. Hopefully, the swelling will go down by tomorrow, and everything will be ok.

Hauntings.
It haunts. It always do.

It came back to me... almost 20 years later. How I ran around the house asking for help, only to find that nobody bothers.

They never do anyway.

I remember running back to my mom's room. I remember hearing her crying in pain.

Why did this have to happen again?

Only this time it's my grandfather.

I feel nothing for him. But it pains me.

He's your husband for goodness's sake. Why can't you do something for him?

I'm scared I will grow up like this. They always say that. But I refused. This is not how I want my life to run.

If my mommy goes, I will go with her -- away from this cold house, away from this cold family who cares about no one but themselves.

may madness
Went out yesterday with Joann and Joey! :D As usual, I keep forgetting the something important. :X Must make it a point to remember!!

We caught a pretty nice movie ... but I forgot the title. I love the dog though, and I will watch the movie again for the dog, not the cute guy! >P hehehe...

Went to Spotlight after the movie so I can look for knitting needles. :D They only have ugly colours for the size I want. :X I WANT PINK! Grrr... While we were there, they won't let me wear the overly dramatic feather boa around. :X FWAH! Hey! Imagine how many more blackmail pics you guys can get, CAN!?! *lol*

*ahem* Some time jumps now!

Anyway, before the movie, we went to Black Alice. Goal: to force Joey into a dress -- which she eventually did. :D She wore this Baby black JSK! So cute right?! And yes -- she looks good in it. Except... the girl didn't like the poof that much. :X

Sigh.

Joann tried Mother Goose -- the one I want! So, I'm going to save money for that, AND Hawase -- cos I really love Hawase, and it's a costly 409$! She also tried on this. So pretty right? :D

In the end, we left Black Alice with a ring for Joey and a headbow for Joann. I didn't buy anything (although Hawase is calling meeeeeeeeeeee!!!), so I looked around, and I found a perfect watch! :D That's right -- it's a pocket watch... something like what the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland is carrying. For 35$, I forked out... because it is pretty anyway, and most watches are going to cost me at least 80$ (cos I only buy Swatch!).

< random > And I think the waiter at Cafe Cartel must be thinking I am the most bimbotic girl in the world. I was sitting alone in the booth, arranging the table, trying Joann's bow, and being thoroughly vain. Then he came along and asked if I wanted to have my tea served.

My first word. "Huuuuuuh?" Yes. Not the short, "Huh?" but the long bimbotic one. And I think I gave the wide eye look too, CRAP. :X And then, he repeated his question, VERY SLOWLY. Sheesh.

Ok. I'm hard of hearing. BUT I IS NOT DUMB!!! Then again, no one in their right mind will wear a head bow like this:

< pic spammage >

Then we have the cute version:





I think it's so much nicer! :D < / pic spammage >

On another note, I found out that shooting stars are just space garbage! *SOBS* that means my wish won't come true! HAWASEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!... < / random >

Shooting Star
Was at Nathan's place when I saw a shooting star with Naz and another girl.

I never thought I would see one. It just happened. A flash and then it was gone. I gazed in awe, and remembered the stories of people who died. And how each star belongs to a man. Yet, there was something magical about that moment too. And then somewhere inside, each of us made a small wish.

That moment lingered, and then it disappeared as more people came up.

Still, it was a lovely moment. I couldn't forget it.

Tonight is a special night. Not because of Nathan's invite to his place (he has a penthouse!!!!) but because of the moment that came. I can't forget it.

And somewhere, I pray, this will last.

The memory is mine, and mine alone. And no one can take away what matters the most. <3

Now I Know!
Now I know how it feels like to be traveling at 100km/h on the expressway!

The last time I rode pillion was like dunno how long ago, at only 60km/hr. Location was maybe 15 mins away only. Now imagine riding at 100km/hr from Jurong West to East Coast Park.

Anyway, I'm thinking of investing in a pair of skates... That is, if I'm going to keep up skating. Thanks Naz for teaching me... and falling with me! XDD

cupcakes! and more!
Went down to Simei to bake cupcakes today! :D

Baking is so therapeutic. I feel really relaxed after mashing everything at high speed. Mommy loves the cake and icing. I'm really pleased.

Next stop: LAKSA!! Please, Ellen, say YES!

On another note, here are some pictures I say I'd post up.

First stop, Lunch at my youngest uncle's place. We were making Laksa, under my grandma's guidance.

The Laksa Gravy!


Garnishes


The Little Girl Who Ran Away After Stealing Eggs


She's adorable, no? XD

Then she tried cam-whoring...



But she held her daddy's camera phone the wrong way. *DOH!*

Heh. I so love her. She's Chloe, our resident Little Chilli Padi!

Moving along now...

Dbl-O on Thurs. :D Went with Nathan, Naz and Xuwen after Timbre.





Place was rather smokey though... Not sure why. :X

In any case, < /photo spammage>! XDDD

baggages
If I have to choose between Him and Her at the end of the day, I know I will break.

I care too much. But I cannot take things anymore. It's only a matter of time, but the cracks are showing. They always do.

My fears hold me back from the happiness I sought.

Because at the end of the day, I worry I marry the wrong man.

Baby!
Went to Black Alice today to collect VM baby. :D It was simply gorgeous!

As usual, my complains are that I'm flat chested, which makes certain fitting less than perfect... But still! The dress IS perfect! :D

VM shall be my last lolita purchase of the year. From now on, I will not look at anymore dresses. Need to save my money for driving and other things!

OUTBIRK!!!! in harry's own words.
Went Timbre yesterday. :D

Am now waiting for Dom and Viv to send us the pics from there. I think we are all crazy -- especially the part when we're "TRYING" to help Nathan get over his homophobia with a new 'gay' partner, Naz.

Previously, it was Helmi (he would sit so near Nathan, Nathan would get up and run)... but Uncle "Duckie" Helmi isn't around. :X I seriously missed his trademark "Quack" when we were doing the mechanical bird so many weeks back!

To be honest, I was feeling kinda hyper last night. So I happily asked if anyone wanted to go chiong. :D In the end, me, Naz, Nathan and Xuwen headed down to Dbl-O. It was Ladies Night, by the way, so me and Xuwen got in for free. I tried confiscating Naz's IC, but Nathan gave it back, I think.

We had a jug -- I would have gone for more but for some reasons, the liquor kicked in pretty fast last night, so I got heady pretty fast. I think it's either:

1) I had a few glasses before heading to Dbl-O (Strawberry Margarita, Snowball, After 8),
2) I was miserable (We all know the story!)
3) A combination of both!
4) I'm allergic to liquor (LAME!).

By the time we left at 3, I think I was pretty green in the face and finding everything else repulsive. I kept threatening to puke on Naz, cos he kept saying he's HOT! (Yes, he is cos he was wearing a SWEATER! But, Nathan and me decided that appeal-wise, he's probably just lukewarm >P) Plus, he kept teasing me cos Jae asked him if he was going to ride me. -.- She meant him giving me a ride on his bike la... dunno how it came out sounding like we're all having sex or something. -.-

Got home around 5 in the morning, spoke with Naz on the phone for a couple of mins, showered and concussed till about 10am. I think last night was madness. But at least, all of us had fun. :D

The End
I told him I'm leaving. After all, what's the point? There is no direction. There is nothing, only vague answers and evasion. I rather take my already bruised heart elsewhere.

Cheap thrill -- in record time.

Request
Can you pretty please not call me when you are bored? Can you please call me because you want to talk to me, and nothing else? Can you please crack jokes because you really want to hear me laugh, and not because you want to fill up the silences that come up?

Everything is making me insecure now. It isn't fair, but I just need you to understand.

*sigh*

Thanks Cat for your words of encouragement. I really needed that to dispel my fears. :X So I shall share her words of wisdom with everyone:

*caThRyN* says:
anw babe.. i noe ure feeling insecure now becuase of ur prev failed rships
but try to take this rship w an open heart
instead of letting prev burdens pull u down yeahh
n prev stories


*touched*

And some pics from clubbing last Wed. :D

DSA Dancers Unite!


Girls: Emily, Shivani, Me
Martin is the only guy in the pic. Chin Long was on the other side, snapping away. :D

Then, one more group photo


This time with Chin Long.

Obviously MRT guy suck at taking pics cos he cut me out! When I asked him why he did that, he said he wanted to keep me for himself. -.- IDIOT!

I'm waiting for more pics. :D

Yes. Some people need brains.

Have you ever tried reading a stupid web, straining your eyes to d3c|pH3r tH3 cR4p |4n9u493? And worse, that moron has the audacity to type in blardy baby pink against a white background. *eye rolls*

SMART.

You wait till I start putting ALL my posts in darker shades of dark grey that closely resembles black and tinier fonts.

HOW DO YOU LIKE IT NOW!?

And yes. Jess is PMS-ing and not in a very good mood. Pfft.

(I'm talking about some stupid blogs that people do for the RPG site I'm on. It's lame how some people think. Now grow up for goodness's sake. You guys aren't any younger than me.)

The Clown
I feel like I'm playing the fool for you. Perhaps some things were better if left unsaid. We didn't have to talk the way we did; or maybe you just got tired of me.

It's agonising for me to think, if you even feel anything... Because it came to me that this whole affair could just have been a stupid mistake; that you were heartbroken and empty, and then half drunk when you asked something like you did.

I have half a mind to call you now, just to hear you. But is this what you want? Is this what I want? I don't know. I asked you if you want me to leave for a while, but you said no. Yet, you didn't like the way you were treating me either which only made everything felt worse. I drew a line, afraid to get any closer, yet the temptation to cross is just too much.

It's easy for me to pretend each day is happy, that deep down I haven't got any other feelings except the superficial things I show the world. Each day I wear the masks, each day I paint my face and my eyes, wear my costumes to hide. Each day, I carry my props, and said the lines, hoping that everything delivers; after all, life has no room for failure. I cannot fail.

I cannot deceive myself. I cannot pretend when I look at my own reflection in the mirror, and see that plain girl looking at myself. The mocking sad face in contrast to what all of you see. Each night I cried bitter tears because there wasn't anything else for me to feel. It doesn't matter how lively an image all of you see. I'm just another silent figure, slowly withering.

I know the truth: I'm plain human too.

Do you even care?

If you think it's fuck, please look elsewhere. :X

It's funny how things started: on the MRT train, and then later, at Dbl-O when his friends egged him to talk to me without realising we had already met. -.-

(I confessed: I was checking him out cos I thought he was cute when he got on the train at Jurong East...)
