Still In "Down" Period

Still haven't recover from "Down" period although it have been more than half a year. Have no idea when and how it get started. Having negative thoughts most of the time. Feeling lost. All the things that supposed to be done were not done. Can't get myself motivated to do anything. How long I have to be in this state? How am I able to get myself out of this? How come I feel no more fun in this world? Feel like there's nothing that can make me interested and excited anymore. There's nothing remain other than the empty shell of a shape of human, a breathing empty shell. Sometimes, I really afraid to wake up from sleep. When I'm awake, all those negative thoughts come haunting me again.

Going to have my final exam for this semester on 19th and 20th May. But I'm still wavering around. I have no idea about what I have done all these time. Supposedly, I should be studying by now. But somehow I'm here writing nonsenses in my blog, which I had neglected for a long period. Really hope somehow I'm able to get myself motivated to study.

Eternal Pose By Asia Engineer

This song is very meaningful. Attached below are the translation of the song.



The pieces of a half-grasped dream are unchanging things
Us who are chasing after our aspirations float in the sky
Even during times when we were exhausted, it's something unchanging
Will we always be able to hold the compass to search for them, I wonder?

A tiny memory, I quietly opened my notebook
A notebook that bound up old past actions
Even now it's a precious treasure that's in the very back of my drawer
As the plots of the dreams that come to me when I fall asleep
Change little by little, I realize that I'm growing up
How to make my dream come true
I'm blue because there's no way to know that
Hard times unfold, and the tears come, but I still have my dreaming heart
Pieces of a dream scattered like stardust
Their light has already disappeared now
But somewhere deep within all of our hearts, it's still, and always will be a precious treasure

An empty childhood dream, following the unforgettable thread of a memory
So that the flame that still burns in my heart won't go out
Entrusting my thoughts to the familiar clear sky, together with my friends
Across the changing times for eternity, for eternity...

I wonder if I can say that it's fate?
We all met each other because we had the same thing
We talked through the night, laughed, played; We found the first star on that night
Those kind of memories are bound up in a new notebook
With the way and direction to get the next page
Now we've hoisted a sail, and finally have taken off together down the route, go!
We went through so many seasons together
We'd been chasing the same dream for a long time
When we turned around, it was lying right behind us
We've changed that past a little bit
Now we're just letting the wind take us, and going wherever our thoughts take us
You understand "I'll never give up" without me having to say it
So let my voice reach you!

An empty childhood dream, following the unforgettable thread of a memory
So that the flame that still burns in my heart won't go out
Entrusting my thoughts to the familiar clear sky, together with my friends
Across the changing times for eternity, for eternity...

They say that it's not cool to have dreams nowadays
Time passes so quickly, that there's no time to look back
But I'm sure of the thoughts that I imagined back then, something that makes my heart dance
I don't care what anyone says, we're going to pass through this road
The cue is always something small, so what is it that's different? My heartbeat
The things that have changed are the circumstances and the sound of the wind
Something unchanging will always be there...
Someday I'll arrive at the end of my dream, I want to grow up like this as much as I can
In this endless sky that I look up to, for eternity, for eternity...

The pieces of a half-grasped dream are unchanging things
Us who are chasing after our aspirations float in the sky
Even during times when we were exhausted, it's something unchanging
Will we always be able to hold the compass to search for them, I wonder?

I want to smile forever...

9th Jan 2009

Finally, final exams are over for me. For some of the students, probably their last paper will be on 11th Jan. Somehow, this time I didn’t feel excited about the 3 weeks holiday. For the previous holidays, I would always imagine what to do during the holiday and feel excited about it before the holiday is around the corner. But I don’t feel that way this time. Probably this is because of all the unhappy stuffs happened on me and also the people around me.

One of the unhappy stuffs is related to E107B. All the housemates except Nath are going to move. I’m also the one of them. At first, I never thought of this to happen. One of the reasons is that the owner of the house is going to increase the rental from RM1500 to RM1800. The moment the housemates decided to move out, somehow I feel unhappy. I never thought that the moment we stay together will end so soon. Even though, we have been staying together for almost a year, I feel that we have just staying together for a couple of months. Today, I will be finishing up the packing all my stuff. The next time I come to E107B will be just taking all my stuff after my new accommodation is confirmed. Nath faced quite a serious problem. 7 of his future housemates pulled out from E107B at the last minute, the moment the agreement is almost to be signed.(Hope Nath will solve this problem ASAP.)

I have been wondering. All those unhappy stuffs, are they related to my problematic personality? I have caused the people around me to worry about me. Here, I would like to thank them for concerning about me and sorry for worrying about me. At the last, I was the one who make others worry. Will it be fine for me to stay with my new housemate? I’m just afraid I might bring more problems to them. Sad Christmas, sad Awal Murharram and sad New Year. Soon it will be Chinese New Year and my 22nd birthday, will it will be still a sad one? Hope all those unhappy stuffs will be gone in a short time.

The Nameless Monster

Once upon a time, there lived a nameless monster.
The monster was dying to have a name so badly.
So the monster decided to set out on a journey to find itself a name.
But the world was such a large place.
So the monster split into two and went on to two seperate journeys.
One went to the East and the other went to the west.

The monster that went to the east found a village.
There was a blacksmith at the village entrance.
"Mr.Blacksmith, please give me your name" said the monster.
"I can't give you my name" replied the blacksmith.
"If you give me your name I will jump inside you and make you stronger in return." said the monster.
"Really? I'll give you my name if you can make me stronger.", the blacksmith told the monster.
The monster jumped inside the blacksmith.
The monster became Otto the blacksmith.
Otto the blacksmith was the strongest man in the village.
But one day he said:"Look at me! Look at me!"
"The monster inside of me has grown this big!"
*Chomp, chomp, munch, munch, gobble, gobble, gulp*
The hungry monster ate Otto from the inside out.

The monster then went back to become a monster without a name.
Even though he jumped inside Hans the shoemaker....
*Chomp, chomp, munch, munch, gobble, gobble, gulp*
He went back to being a monster without a name again.
Even though he jumped inside Thomas the hunter.....
*Chomp, chomp, munch, munch, gobble, gobble, gulp*
He still went back to being a monster without a name.

The monster then went to a castle to find a wonderful name.
Inside the castle, there was a very sick boy.
"I'll make you stronger if you give me your name" said the monster.
In reply, the boy told him "I'll give you my name if you can cure my illness and make me stronger. "
So the monster jumped inside the boy.
The boy became very healthy.

The King was delighted.
"The prince is well! The prince is well!" said the King.
The monster became fond of the boy's name.
He also grew fond of his life inside the castle.
That's why he endured even when he became hungry.
Every day, even when his stomach became very empty, he endured.
But then he became so hungry....
"Look at me! Look at me!" said the boy.
"The monster inside of me has grown this big!"
The boy then ate his father, servants, and everyone.
*Chomp, chomp, munch, munch, gobble, gobble, gulp*

Because everyone was gone....
The boy left on a journey.
He walked and walked for days.....
One day the boy met the monster that went west.
"I have a name" said the boy.
"It's a wonderful name."
And then the monster that went west said...
"I don't need a name."
"I'm happy even if I don't have a name."
"Because we're monsters without names."
The boy ate the monster that went west.
Even though he now had a name....
There was no one left to call him by his name.
Johan.
It is a wonderful name.
