Got postcards from my former selves, saying, "How you been?"
We might've said good byes just a little soon,
Robbing lips, kissing banks under this moon.

you know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales. that fantasy of what your life would be, with a white dress, and a prince charming who would whisk you off to his castle that's on a hill. you would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. santa claus, the tooth fairy, prince charming; they were so close you could taste them. but eventually you grow up. one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. most people turn to the things and people they can trust but the thing is it's hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cos almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.

dont you just love school? it's only the second week and all the teachers are going down on us hard. and it's as if the time's-running-out speeches are not enough, mr see's personal msg thing yesterday was 60 days to prelims. that means it's 59 days today. oh amanda. haha.

i didnt like the sky this morning! it was so dark! and the clouds did not have their usual cotton candy texture! what a great start to the day. haha. but school was fine! didnt get caught for not tying my hair. plus our favourite woman wore her geisha costume to school again! haha. what a treat to the eyes.

spent last last night just gossiping with my sister. haha. it was fun! and although sometimes they get on my nerves and can be downright annoying, i really cant imagine how life would be without the both of them! (: no sharing of clothes, no fighting to get the bathroom sometimes, no endless talking until we all fall asleep, and the list goes on and on :D and (haha) i would receive two less presents on my birthday! i love my sisters! (:

at the end of the day, faith is a funny thing. it turns up when you dont really expect it. it's like one day you realise that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamt. the castle, well, it may not be a castle, and it's not so important happy ever after, just that it's happy right now. see once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you, and once in a while people may even take your breath away.
