boba

bobi lim.
I miss you again tonight.
the idea of just looking to my left. 
and remembering all the things about you.
and that you are no longer here.
is always enough to bring tears to my eyes.
the turtle that you love.
the way you sleep.
your smell.
climbing all over.
stuffing and greedy for food.
forever snatching other ppl food.
you who always climb onto my palm for food.
who isnt as afraid of human touch.
you who has a stronger smell than sobi.
你在的地方你好吗?
有没有想我? 
去了更好的地方了吗?
我玩的游戏里有好多可爱的动物会让我想起你。
想念教你的名字 每天作弄你 吵你睡觉
直到有一天你不再回应也不再反应。

为什么你 带我走过最难忘的旅行
然后留下 最痛的纪念品

突然好想你 你会在哪里
过得快乐或委屈
突然好想你 突然锋利的回忆
突然模糊的眼睛

I will never know what happened to you. 
and I will never know why you passed.
imy :( 
can you tell sobi to let me stroke her and stop being a scaredy cat.
how bobi.
should I wash your cage.
then I will no longer have your smell.
伤心。
it's like no matter how much imy or think about you, the fact is that you will no longer and will never ever be here any more.
that's hurts the most bobi.

突然好想你 突然锋利的回忆
突然模糊的眼睛

and when you put your hands in and sobi just run tho you really just want to sayang her. well that hurts abit too cos you run but still lemme touch you.
:( 

bobi lim. 
I picked up sumkikko.
I realised the legs all disappear.
you bite it off.
and then my tears just couldn't stop.
coa it's all the sealy things you've done. 
leaving behind the souvenirs for me to think of you.
为什么你 带我走过最难忘的旅行
然后留下 最痛的纪念品.
and then I look back at tortoise again. all the little bite marks you girls did.
想你 :(

the image built torn by an untold story

idk why but I feel pretty lousy tonight.
like after hearing stories.
you get judged from stories not told personally.
you get judged from pursuing your own rights.
it's hard to ignore it's easier said than done.
but i am affected by it.
bite the bullet that's my style.
never say never that's my style.
we can do this that's my style.
but I guess something happened.
and are there consequences yes there is.
and pretty hurt that people are judging you from what they know and thats not the truth.
losers. choosing the easy way out. disappointing more ppl you knew. stories spreading like wildfire. I guess what's more disappointing is probably someone you looked up to. 
that kinda sucks and that kinda feels wronged.
but you know it's like you dont have to explain to the whole world. 
but at least get it from my mouth.
regret is never in my dictionary but for this it is indeed regretful.
not thought through. 
things that insensible people do.
and then suddenly it feels like it wasnt even your decision. 
the shit the mess.
never thought I would ever land in such complicated mess.
is this one wrong move? 
idk but it was really mixed feelings throughout.
and then suddenly you just wanna hide and stay low. 
but then again why should you when it's something you fought for, stood against your own rights? 
havent done before doesnt mean cnt do.
the sad thing is the image you have built is instantly torn down by a story that was not told by you. 
and also people whom you thought knew you gets muddleheaded with the stories they heard.
but people who stood by you knows you no matter how many stories there are.
sad to say the latter is few.
and you know, I have always thought that when you choose something, you need to find something that suits you and also also fit them.
it works two ways.
doesnt this apply to the current scenario? 
maybe not.
beggars cant be chosers.
and how you cant say the truth out loud.
hiding this and that.
and receiving all the repercussions.

the image built torn down by untold stories & hidden truths.
but you know what? you could repeat the exact story word for word to 100 people, you will be amazed at the different responses given and how many actually understand where you are coming from.
so sometimes dont waste efforts.
if they know you, they know. if they dont, they really dont. 

pretty amazing no?
going for your own rights yet getting into deep shit.
one thing I really hate about what I am doing now, is not being able to be my true self. and everything is fake.
you need to fake this you need to fake that.
nothing can be overly truthful. everything has to be tweaked.
why?
did I mention how much I hate to be at the bottom of the whole process? 
nothing within my control, no matter how you try. you gotta suck up to them, nothing within your decisions.
that's pretty tiring.
and its really pretty amazing.
I always hate losing myself over various things cos I love myself more than anything I guess.
when it comes to that stage idk, I start being unhappy about the things I do I guess.
times are different. people change. they judge you based on stories they hear, not from the you they knew.
people think you changed because you are no longer the version they knew.
but in all actual fact that's not even the case and not even close.

on a side note.
picked up sumkikko and took a sniff.
and I missed you again.
wondering if I'm the one who is reluctant on giving up your smell or just using sobi as an excuse. 
once it's gone its really gone.
she smells different from you.
yours is more intense, hers is more salty.
she seems better now. I guess maybe me too?
just occasionally and sometimes a gush still comes and I still miss you.
I heard there was a big moth that day.
was it you? like the song title: 听说爱情回来过
if it was thank you for coming by, thank you for not scaring me. 
I really hope you are in a better place.
and that rainbow that day. was it you too?
idk why. not the first hammie but I'm feeling this way. I guess you have a really special place in my heart :)
or maybe i just thought you were a next habobo, jumpy sealy like him, long life like him but I was wrong.
it's hard still. looking in the cage and only seeing 1. and watching her do things alone. sometimes I wonder what is she thinking.
was she keeping a lookout for you or what.

from time to time I look out at the sky. the vast blue sky. the endless night sky.
and suddenly I just really miss travelling.
blue sea, sea breeze, sun tanning, book, relaxing, buffet breakfast, nua.
sigh. and then I would think of you too.
how this cb taught me.
how I would love to have you aa family.
I guess for someone whom you know for 10 years, theh are no longer friends but family.
and I wish you were part of family too.
then we could be together.
I guess i havent shared here. but so many times I wished things would played out differently.
wished we were way faster.
future always seems so rocky.
while we were set on moving forward the next step, now come halt in constructions and all.
and the possibility of increased price and the current economy and all.
but yea, one of the biggest regret this cb.
family I cant choose. but my own timeline, that's something i had control over and with.
and while everyone else is asking: what is it about the normalcy that you miss? the crowded trains? the working environment?
well I had the answer a long time ago. the thing about normalcy that played the biggest part of which I missed, is you.
you were part of normalcy. dinner dates, time together, being able to meet.
if I hadn't made it possible I wouldnt even dared imagine how it would be now.
technology so useful but we used none.
we did like 2 video calls for whole 2 months. 
we had no virtual dates at all.
htht that's normal. but I really thought we would have done something better and tried to still date virtually or however possible.
so if without the possibilities, would there have been deliveries then? 
the driving 2hrs to send food? 
then while I tried doing my part for what I couldn't do, the cooking the driving 2hr to send food, I ordered food.
backfired.
what cb has taught me? virtual technology does not work on us.
but all in all, I know no complaints but be contented and always be appreciative. cos we always do the best we can in all situations that we were put in.
and the rules in place before all these, meeting is primary others are secondary.
2 months. once each week.
amazing? yea very.
you dont know how much I hope for it to end so I can freely and openly hold and embrace with all my might.

boba lim II

I wonder do animals know how to feel sad? 
does sobi feels sad?
I know I feel really sad for her..
like she's all alone.
no longer have anyone to snuggle with her.
snatch her food.
snatch her wheel.
no more fights. no more squeaking.
big house all yours.
she hasn't been to the blue bathtub bobi was for the entire day.
she just sleeps around the turtle where bobi loves.
then watching her eat alone and doing everything else alone.
it's like a constant reminder that bobi is gone.
turning to look into the catch but it's only one hammie no longer two.
it's like the same habobo sukoko feeling.
then this sobi dont let ppl sayang.
idk what to do with her. cnt click hahaha.
bobi did you lose your way? are you okay or cold under the ground cos it rained?
I cant rmb if I mentioned but thankew for opening your eyes one last time ytd too.
fluttering open.
I felt such a strong presence of you last night, I know you were still around.
今天唱的歌都想起你.
looking into the cage feels sad..
it should be joyful.
I think the most unbearable pain and sadness is when death hits suddenly.
like habs I was sad, but okay cos of old age.
mikkoko cos havent overly attached. but bobi still so young.
and she was so much alike habs.
just that got more pattern and even greedier.
I thought she would be habs too, healthy cos she non picky. eat well run well.
:( 
I wonder if sobi is okay. 
cnt sayang idk how to console her.
jusr heart pain for her.
bobi I still miss you and still sad over you. 
还是会想起你那些奇怪的pose.
然后想起昨晚。
然后怀念你。是不是你还在?
为什么sobibi 一直在你喜欢的位子?
想念你的味道。
伤心😢😞
ssb. 

boba lim

bello boba.
you left us just now.
like 1hr ago.
I promised not to cry, but looking at the cage while you were just here earlier on and this afternoon just makes me heart pain.
the blue bathtub you spent your whole day at.
your fav spot by the tortoise, now soba taking your place. 
jumpy active little girl.
always sleep without image and like to cuddle with soba.
then stuff and eat puipui.
thank you boba.
for letting daddy and me spend your last moments with you.
you must have heard what I said.
I feel like you are still around.
its always hard to say goodbye. especially I can still feel your warm body.
but I had to put you in the ground.
stay safe bobi, dont let the big ants bite.
now soba has the whole cage on her own. nobody to snatch with.
can you tell soba dont so stubborn let us stroke her?
thankew for opening your eyes to look at me just now, I know it must have took you alot of effort..
thankew for pooping on my bed last night when I brought you out.
also for making your spot on my bed.
I hope you find habo suko and mikko.
and have fun altogether.
wishing nothing but the best for you.
sep to may is really too short. idk what happened to you..
but pls be well wherever you are.
rmb we love you and you will always have a place in our heart. 
I'm sad to have lost you but I'm really happy to have spent the day with you, the only hammie I managed to spend such last moments with.
I only turned away and you left.
the last few moments must have been a struggle for you too.
thank you for staying on and hanging on brave girl.
是不是我没注意,没发现你不舒服生病了?
看起来好像两个礼拜前你就爱睡。但你们天真都是爱睡的嘛。
今天看了最心疼的东西是你往瓶子抓,却没力气喝水。但是喂你喝,你也没喝到。
一路走好我的宝宝 ♡♡
I turn around and it's just sobi.
I turn around and I only see 1 not 2.
you are no longer here.
I hear the wheel but it's only sobi.
theres no more bobi and it makes me miss you.
I see your fav spot but it's not you.
i still smell you a little.
i wonder if soba knows.

madhouse

the longer I stay here.
the more I feel suffocating
all the image built 
all nonsense.
how perfect it is.
in my eyes right now it is the most imperfect.
tightly bounded.
not an ounce of freedom.
the longer I am here the more I want to leave.
the more I hate this place.
all the ramblings I hate it.
so much restrictions cant even do any single shit.
every shit done every comment made.
and its getting more and more insane.
like wtf.
time bomb anytime.
why should any decision revolve around anyone.
so only 1 person needs to be happy in the house the whole time?
no.
I have my own life to lead also.
things are different stop seeing it your way.
like freaking seriously stop it.
I really hate it. and the urge to leave just gets stronger.
absolutely controlled. 
and it just gets worst. something seemingly so nornal gets blown up into something mega.
sorry you dont earn respect for yourself.
time and time again it feels like I'm living in a madhouse a place unfit for human to stay.
bring me away from this crazy place. 
absolutely annoying that I feel like strangling and knocking sense into senseless ppl and ppl who have zero knowledge of things. 
this place no longer makes me feel loved and feel a sense of belonging.
I always want to run. then you guys are such a failure then.
it is the kinda madhouse that drives ppl away.
talk about bond. I dont see any. at all.
at zero freedom.
not a life I want. never.

如果有来生

I guess wfh gave me alot of time to think and go blog?
如果还有来生,让我们在这样的情况下不要分离. 
如果现在要写遗书,我写的出最后的遗愿。
这样的夜晚,听听音乐,写写日记,很有伤感。
这几晚,也常常梦见你,梦见我们。
因该是反映这多么的想念。
得了相思病,救药只有一个。
这样的想念是会痛到让人流泪的。痛到心梗。
是不是之前忍住的泪都在今晚泄露呢?
每当感觉这样时,回想起这个照片。之前obs 时用的。没想到如今还是同感。
你有过这样的经验吗?

不知道为什么那么感伤,已经不是第一个夜晚了。
你是还是人吗?
虽然说好不难过但是心里还是闷闷的。
没想到要见面那么难,虽然不分两国但是还是折磨。
好难得见面了,结果因为担心毁了一切。
见面了,也不能自由的拍拖。
然而让人更加的想念。:( 
然后想到那么想念却没法好好的在一起,就更难过了。那么多天的想念,就要在这样的状态下说再见吗? 好让人心酸。根本不是想要的效果。所以眼泪汪汪的掉了下来。尽力见面却搞成这样。还让你委屈疲惫,没能更体谅体贴。:(  也太自私只顾自己当时的情绪。
离开时好想把你给抱回家。离开时根本就不想离开。
离开时好想多一个抱抱,多一个吻,多一点时间。人总是贪心的。
不知道接下来几个礼拜会有怎么样的变化,只希望会恢复原来。
每天除了想念没有其他的了。饭也一点都不想吃。
那天吃了最后的日式蛋卷,嘴里好甜美,心里好心酸。因为这样的味道不知何时才能品尝到。然后又想起你的怀抱亲吻还有味道,又让人更鼻酸。
这样的人不是人的生活,还要过多久?
好想念原来。不是最好但是还好也比现在好。
知道你很重要。但没想到那么的重要。
在这种情况下,好希望我们已经在一起,已经有自己的家,在这样的夜晚,有你在身旁陪伴拥抱。可以一起烧饭。反正在一起就对了。不需要想现在过度的想念流泪。只是我们的步伐慢了一些再加上没有自由权的我,还是各分两旁。
多么希望你能把我带走,离开这个没有自由的地方。
这个过后,我们可以加快步伐了吗?

其实在这之前,知道爱你不见面会想你。只是没想到真的无法见面后果那么的悲痛。
原来很爱很爱你,不能没有你。没有你的日子非常的不好过。好难受。
日子只是平淡的一天过一天,毫无意意义。没有什么值得盼望的。拜一,又是新的一天。拜六,也是普通的一天。什么期待都没有。

如果还有下一次,我们不要这样的分离了好不好? 😞😭
打勾勾。。

CB

you know how it feels like the day they announced it? 
like a break up.
we dont do well in this and we never do.
and after it happened.
you know how it felt like?
back to UK.
sleepless nights. thrown into darkness. not much appetite. not knowing what to do with life. no motivation. feeling sad everyday. spending bedtime in tears every single night.
it hasn't hit me so badly yet. because I've been trying to look for that glimpse of hope. I got it. and it got robbed away again. I'm back to square one. looking for every possible way to escape and try. but it's all back to zero. if there's a need to risk I would. but there isnt a chance for me to do so.
it's the kinda helplessness. trying to create opportunities and thrown back to none.
but yea. it reminds me alot of UK. too much too painful.
trying to work in our own ways but it always needs two hands to clap. end of the day hopeful becomes hopeless.
and for some reason feelin it very strongly today. I'm so tired.
and I'm so sad. I haven't really spoke about how I truly feel. because I just thought I could mask it behind everything and try my best to make it seem normal. but deep down I feel so strongly. I control my emotions more and more. even if it hurts so bad I dont give in to myself to breakdown. I build barriers i tell myself I'm ok. but its been really suffocating in there but the barriers are too strong to break that there isnt an outlet.
but none of this is even normal. it deprives me of all my rights. 
to be truly grounded. 
today just seems too much feels thinking about everything. how it came crashing down. and how they dont understand what I want at all. how we are forced to take something we dont want to. and just burst all the bubbles.
ration. it wouldnt last at all.
not sustainable at all.
and the thought of extending. its depressing.
cb really cb. 
it robbed away so many so many things. even the basics now.
but maybe it's a sign too. I rmb UK times I lost so much weight. maybe it's a hint too.
life has become meaningless. food has become mundane. nothing sparks joy. nothing is interesting anymore. just going through the motions. till the day it ends. theres no more normality anymore. 
and it is truly heartbreaking.
like forced to break up. 
choose one who stays near you. be with a fam who gives you freedom.
sigh. 委屈无助
nothing under my control. sit and watch it fall apart.
鼻酸泪流.
and also to think of how what was previously discussed, come crashing down to. every single time. what more should I be hoping for.
it's all a facade a lie. 
staying optimistic. but receiving end it's all the negative news.
fail to plan plan to fail.
its disappointing too.
all these true raw emotions I've buried deep never letting them see the light.
but its everything I'm feeling now.
空虚。什么都没有(⊙o⊙)
本以为能拥有的那一点全都没了。
hopeful, hopeless, disappointed.
世界上有比这更惨痛吗?
throat pain.teeth too. lips too. chest too. heart too.
anywhere else?

17 February 2020

sad

Hello bloggie again.

izzit 2020 gonna be a year where im back in action posting frequently?
i cant believe that i only had less than 10 posts for 2019.
can you even believe it?
i wonder what happened.
work happened.

im at a stage where i feel so depressed.
that even tho im so sad, i can't seem to cry or unleash.
telling myself its all gonna be okay, everything will be okay.
idk.
last time i would have cried alot. but now its just..
alot of have happened in the past month and in the past 1 week.
like you can tell 10 people what really happened and they would all react differently.
would they really understand or emphathize where you are coming from?
im not too sure.
but recently it just feels liks 24 hrs isn't enough anymore.
not enough for me time, not enough for friends time, not enough for everything.
and it feels like i have neglected alot of things.
and im just constantly tired.
like really really tired.
and constantly stressed.
there are so many so many things that i wanna do.
like since december, but i've just been so so so busy that i am either resting when im free or just simply doing nothing at all.
like packing my cupboard/ spring cleaning.

i just feel like since last november, my life have been thrown into a whirlwind.
like a series of misfortunate events, and i keep telling myself is okay, as long as everyone is safe intact alive and together that's all that it matters.
i didnt cry when all of that happened.
idk why, but i didnt. not even now.
i havent cried for a long time to be honest.
i watch movies/shows, no i dont cry.
the most i tear. and that's about it.
you feel that pain, but thats all it goes.
you tell yourself to snap out of it and life continues.

and im also thrown back to the time where i had very low confidence in myself, where everything felt like ground zero.
yeah it will work out, probably things will get better.
but im not sure where to get confidence for all these.
not after you feel like a blur sotong at work, having a blur coordinator who doesn't do great, and work is just insane.
like now, sleeping knowing that you have 11 on your to do list.
and then also coming home knowing you have so many things undone over the weekends cos you chose to rest instead.
iron clothes, clean shoes, fold clothes, clearing some work stuff.
but still not done yet.
prioritising, yes. but look at the end of the day, the to do list doesn't get crushed away.
and then look at them time. 1am again as always on monday night after im done with all my stuff.
do i want to sleep early? yes. i would love to.
but there's so many things to do and there is only one of me.
i rmb last friday, v day.
i had this stupid RFP to be submitted in 24hrs.
i passed everything else to jen to do, but still couldn't finish it.
and v day, bf even said end work early tmr ah.
i ended at 7 plus. after rushing and still couldn't finish.
i wish it could be like a snap of fingers. done.
but so many SOPs to read because they were legally reviewed and stuff and you can't afford to make mistakes despite wanting to do it fast.
over the past week, i have made so many mistakes cos i wanted to complete it quickly.
and you know what happened? i was under such tremendous stress last friday cos i was last to leave, it was v day, i was so late, i had this shit RFP to do that i actually teared up in office. like i just looked at my screen and then it became blurry with tears. but you just wipe away, swallow up the sadness and just continue what you had to do.
part of growing up? no i don't want to.
i just felt so helpless that despite my wishes for everything i wanted, i ended up doing everything i didn't wanted against my wishes.
and like you just make the situation worst when you tried so hard to make it good.
and you know how all these time lost will never come back again?

then dealing with clients.
all the rude ones.
nasty ones. shouting at you.
demanding this demanding that.
fuck you la.
just feels like im their slaves doing everything to please them when i should be the one getting pleased.
feels so shitty to get screamed at and hurled insults and backstabbed by someone you dont even know.
it hurts alot on that very day. i could feel tear at my eye brim, i was in shock, i didn't knew what to do.
till now, whenever i communicate with them, its like once bitten twice shy.
i have been really careful cos i dont want the same thing to happen, and i do not wish to take anymore insults or conversations treating like a fool when they are they idiots.
and whenever i communicate with them, it just brings me back to that day.
yes ofc im disappointed with what i have done, it is a mistake to learn, it is to move on.
but it is so hard.
like there is this emotional and mental scar, it came too suddenly and its hard to like just move on.
like you could tell this to everyone and they would say lesson learnt move on but im sorry it isn't really that simple nor is that the case.

and i just feel like i fail at managing things. time, stuff, people.
like managing the groups. i just feel shitty.
time, needless to say.
within the past week, i've grown to hate and despise what i do.
like i dread it so much.
the never ending list to do, the deadlines, the stress.
its just too much.
there is only one of me
what do you want me to do?
and also, the work life balance thing, last time there was a little balance.
now there's no balance at all.
you know how much i wish to have time to do my own things?
like packing my room and all.
but i just don't have the energy to.
mega ultra sian.
it just feels like i have hit rock bottom again. after striving so hard.
and facing clients everyday, it makes me tired too.
but i realised in the working world, everyone has their own set of clients no matter what.
like even in finance, you have banks and transaction companies to work with.
just feel like maybe im only fit to be a coordinator.
things were much more simpler. never knew it would be this hard seriously.
and monetary wise, for this amount of shit.
worth it or not?
but even if it were to be higher, pockets full but heart is empty.
but now, i just feel damn poor and heart is empty too.
like the money earned so little until it is meaningless. then the work is so much and clients are shitty that your heart just feels numb and shitty too.
no one is there to tell you right from wrong, wrong from right.
no one is there to teach you.
you are just individual, alone, on your own.
dk then ask. but i'd like it better if i had a senpai or someone to learn or teach me.

so sick of this feeling.
restless, sleeping without peace cos you worry about the next day.
things unsettled. need follow ups.
life still goes on but this isnt the life i wanted.
then nvm, sleeping late. then cab again.
then kenna scolded again.
im just so tired and things are so heavy like laptop all that sometimes i just don't feel like going through the long stupid journey the hustle and bustle.
peace is something i treasure alot now.
it s rare and hard to get.
xin lei.
hao lei.
hao nan guo.
and its like im so tired to care, about anything or everything.
like everything other than work and deadlines, they all fall under idc.
but it isn't really like i dont care, but more of like i dont have any ounce of energy to even care.
and i dont even feel happy anymore.
like nothing really makes me happy, work is meaningless.
the same people everyday, none of them i can click with.
and yes ofc i miss my buds too but just know that the good times are over.
current is what you have, those people who are nothing like buds, nothing like anyone.
they dont know what i want, dont know me, dont know who am i or how i am like.
so be it. also dont want waste so much energy on them.
but its just sad, no buddies at work.
and who knows it would be so bad.
i guess few months really got me into a habit.
bad habit.
and i always keep my distance, cos idk who to trust.
but i know better not to trust than to trust cos they will spread and speak ill.
unlike previously where all are kept in between.
everything play by ear and cautiously.
