I was even more surprised that I updated last year. February 2008. I recall that was such a depressing month. I had decided that this blog would change from a selling stuff site to a blog for sad words. Things have changed since then, March was a wonderful month, thank God. And I never talked to Cherie or Liz again, which was the sad part. I started to avoid pulling long faces and started pretending to have fun, and the psychologists were right. If you start pretending you are enjoying yourself, soon you'll find yourself really enjoying yourself. I adapted to that class, became a hugger, and opened up way more but at the expense of my mgs weirdness and hyper behaviour. Issues stayed so I learned to block out memories, and thank goodness for that skill. Acjc could be considered a painful time, and I'm sure if I changed my attitude and matured more in those 2 years it could have been magical. But as always, when I think of actually turning back time and reliving those years again, I think of all the conversations, learnings, experiences good, bad and horrible I would have to go through again and think- &lt;em&gt;How uninteresting is that&lt;/em&gt;. We just have move on. You don't have time to have regrets and ifonlys. Just accept it, and carry on..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That should be it for the troubles of a kid in school theme. I had an offline diary for 2008 and it was mostly about school. I felt so stupid for actually being affected by those sort of trivial things, even while writing it. I still am. I still believe I have different proprieties in life than others. Things that should be important don't affect me at all. Let's hope university is different.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It had been so long that I had no gmail account for this (since when was blogger and gmail one and the same?) but yes it's all settled now. I'll definitely be using this blog for the less private but still pretty personal thoughts. Just for me. If you somehow stumble here, move on, there is nothing interesting here.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7027665-1208940779542073890?l=ianthopia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ianthopia.blogspot.com/feeds/1208940779542073890/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7027665&amp;postID=1208940779542073890' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7027665/posts/default/1208940779542073890'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7027665/posts/default/1208940779542073890'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ianthopia.blogspot.com/2009/06/well-here-i-am.html' title='Well, here I am?'/><author><name>ianthe</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05259587477931214522</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027665.post-6807188985272852159</id><published>2008-02-06T00:19:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-06T00:19:58.991-08:00</updated><title type='text'>not meant to be read</title><content type='html'>well today i spent an hour wandering in orchard road waiting for cherie and liz to finish their stuff with other friends although they said we would go out together after school. i gave up and walked home. no im not angry at that, i know it just reminds me that i have no actual friends in acjc. all i have done is to make better friends with mg classmates, and once again thats not something im unhappy about, im really thankful for them cos if they werent there, 'school would be a hellhole'. but the problem is that thats as much as our friendship will go. im hanging out with firm friends who have been bff for close to 10 years. its wrong and also very impossible  to even try to butt in. and they are the only people i hang out with. the rest of the class is filled with people i cant relate with,. the problem of being just friend slash classmates (who have already found who they like being with) is that we only can just laugh at each others antics. with my issues and life schedule, going out with them is weird, so i will never get to know them better, and i will never be able to be myself around them. the friends in class, however needy they are for some ianthe attention during lesson have great friends they can run around with outside class. moreover they have sec school friends that will just drop everything to be together. although people might not really think that i care for my old friends (my issues again), i really really need them, even if i reject any offer to go out together or whatever. i know they all have their own set of friends and probably as happy with school as i am. i just wish i found some people i could actually talk to in acjc. a year has past and i let some of those people sip away. this is why i like pae class. i believe that (without dewei intervention) i would have made great friends and have great fun talking to them. jeanette? yes. teng? yes. jefri? yes. daryle? honchyte? of course. the people i thought would be impossible to talk to are now friendly to me (teresa, sam w). it was just a matter of time. grace is a great example. we continued talking via blogs and we have a better relationship than in paeaa4. if dewei wasnt there to make me notice every single flaw in them, they would at least be great aquaintences rather than the figments from my past. another minor reason is jialin. im sorry, but she made me really scared of these people by pointing out how freaky they were. anyway yea for some of these old classmates, i only uttered like a total of 5 words to them. however, these guys were interesting. even now i wished i tried talking to them instead of believing the bitching i head about them. something i noticed for a long time is that people like clara cheryl joshua etc (the new kids) is that once i make friends with them, there is like nothing else. thats the max i can go, to just say hello. yeah i know they are cool, i know they have great fashion sense yeah i know they are really fun. but what else? cant relate to them at all. what i miss about orientation/pae period is the singular relationships i had with various people. they are all destroyed because of my cowardness. actually i really cant blame it on dewei or jialin. its just me. i was too scared to talk to hc ,although he looked friendly, after he didnt make it back to ac when i did (we were on slightly better terms in cj that might have become better), i was too scared to wave at daryle after he switched classes and was obviously unhappy in co. im daoing benjamin and many others so much that it has become so embarrassing. ok im only mentioning these same few people, but there were so much more. the relationships i couldnt control were the ones where the other guy went into another jc. old friends i dont see much around school arent as interested in talking with me. example. i saw suetwai after like 3 months and feeling genuinely happy, i call out to her and attempt to give her my half hug. she smiles back, waves back and shuffs beehoon into her mouth. i love people who i can still talk even if we dont see each other much. co makes me happy cos i got some friends there, but because of my issues, they are some things in there which im terrified of. certain people, certain processes. i just cant relax there as well. these friends cant be firm friends because its co. in acjc. no one really wants to hang out together 24/7 as a co. we are not like the band. i felt all these in mg but there were always friends i could rely on. i dont have to real chummy with them. i know i would be happy if they were just near. they might not know cos i look so indifferent. im not a really sociable person, i cant even pretend i am. i dont mind being without company, although its now doing harm to me. i can only hope uni would be better. God please take all these things away.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7027665-6807188985272852159?l=ianthopia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ianthopia.blogspot.com/feeds/6807188985272852159/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7027665&amp;postID=6807188985272852159' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7027665/posts/default/6807188985272852159'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7027665/posts/default/6807188985272852159'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ianthopia.blogspot.com/2008/02/not-meant-to-be-read.html' title='not meant to be read'/><author><name>ianthe</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05259587477931214522</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027665.post-114942813213252486</id><published>2006-06-04T06:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-04T06:35:32.133-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>It's interesting to see how my language in blogging progressed in 2 years.
