title: clarity in a world obscured...
(PICTURE_1)

this is how i measure whether or not the haze is bad... a picture from the window right beside my computer in the study room...i know the haze is above 100psi (unhealthy =( ) if i don't see the sky line of City Hall... in the backdrop on the left of the hdb flats on the right side of te picture...

(PICTURE_2)

and o'course it's obviously bad if i can look straight at the afternoon sun without going blind...

school's starting tomorrow... but i haven't adjsuted myself to sleeping early at night.. yes slept at 4am last night... don't get me wrong, i didn't go to bed at 4am.. i was already in bed at 2.30am?i was thinking.. as usual... didn't feel much like sleeping... the dark and quiet (but for the air-con and ceiling fan, and o'course the occasional creaks and tweaks of the fridge in the dining room) feels so comfortingespecially when i've to get my thoughts straight... and they're... i'm prepared for what may or may not happen laterthis week... though i know not what i'll do after that... ( i find it's best to take things one at a time... especailly if i'm already having trouble sleeping over just the one matter )

but i know what i'm going to do.. ( at least i'd like to think i do.. haha.. see i'm so hmm confident? maybe..)

i haven't yet gotten tw to post these 2 posts for me.. he hasn't been online just yet.. but it's quite interesting..i feel like i'm writing in my personal journal again.. away from the prying eyes of everyone else... though i wouldn't mind some.. after all.. the most introverted people are the people most likely to commit suicide..

http://my.eurekanet.com/~sylea/index.html(don't worry mademoiselle... it's graphic in words.. not in pictures... but if it makes u uncomfortable it's bestyou don't read it eh?)

i stumbled across this website.. looking for pictures to express loneliness... i found one.. of a black dog and apoem to go with it... (click Our Pets and then A Dog Sits Waiting)

i'd advise anyone in depression to the extent of contemplating suicide to read the bit on suicide... especially"The Facts" there's a link at the bottom of the first page which will take you through the thoughts of the wife ofthe man who committed suicide..on her birthday =( ... sad stuff... but it's a wake up call... killing yourself ain'tthe best way to solve your problems... sure it's a fast way.. but there're other ways like working it out that will do so much better than splattering what's left of yourself on the sidewalk below your hdb block...

sad stuff mmhmmm..

sometimes, all you need is someone to share your pain,
share you load,
understand that now, times are tough,
know that what you need is a person to trust.

to catch you before you fall,
to pick you up if they don't get there in time,
to tell you everyday's going to be fine,
to want to be with you forever and ever and ever.
through whatever life throws,
and never never never run away.
to fill the holes you are about to step
to cover you with their coat when it rains,
keeping you warm,
from the cold.
keeping you safe,
in their hands that hold.

to make promises,and to keep them.
to change your world,
for the better.
and then you will
realise,this is what they call love.
this is the song the angels sing above,
this is where no one, is left alone.
