For the Love of Snail Mail and Other Forms of Correspondence

Today, after work my sister and I went to Plaza Singapura where I spent a filthy amount of money on my supplies. And lunch at Carl’s Jr. I ordered the Chilli Cheeseburger (not that filling, I think) while my sister ordered the Chicken Club, which looked quite healthy. Next time I want to try the Portobello burger!

*Shakes head* I forgot that I have yet to assemble dear Deborah’s package! I just hope that the post fee won’t be as high, I’m hoping for about eighty dollars or else I will have to rethink the whole package thing. GULP! I have really prepared a lot of nice things, including this:

Nick is selling these lovely shirts here.

Scratch

it’s a big girl world now
full of big girl things
and everyday i wish i was small

i’ve been counting on nothing
but he keeps giving me his word
and i’m tired of hearing myself speak
do you get weary? do you ever get weak?
how do you dream when you can’t fall asleep?

i’ve been wondering what you’re thinking
and if you like my dress tonight
would you still say you love me under this ordinary moonlight?
i’m so afraid of what you’d say

i’d like to know if you’d be open to starting over from scratch
i’d like to know if you’d be open to giving me a second chance

i used to think i was special
and only i have proved me wrong
i thought i could change the world with a song
but i have ended up in india
with no map to guide me home
strangest place i think i’ve ever been
and all this time i thought that we were friends
my stubborn will is learning to bend

i’d like to know if you’d be open to starting over from scratch
i’d like to know if you’d be open to giving me a second chance

it’s a big girl world now
full of big girl things
and everyday i wish i was small

For Today

This is what pain looked like had I looked in the mirror today
And I ask myself is there anything worth living here at all.
Cause I am left with emptiness and a feeling of achievement
When confusion just fogs my mind.

So let me be me and try things out in my own way
If I run then I’ll run, if I need to fall I will fall
It doesn’t make any difference now that I’m standing here
I just don’t want to wait around anymore.

It bleeds and yesterday’s encrusted on my heart

I Don’t Want To See A Vacant Box

I understand that for most of you without a WordPress account when you comment on my site, you’ll be reflected as blank box which doesn’t really look good. In fact I would think it’s kinda lame and would prefer not to have any pictures at all!

 However, the picture thingy is not of WordPress actually. If you commented before you would see that you are required to enter your name and email address before posting a comment.

Do you know that with just your email address, you can have any image you want to be shown beside your comment?

Yup it’s possible to see Alex’s comment and his avatar image on my blog. And also Sandy’s recent comment.

How?

All you need is:

1. Valid Email Address

2. Password

3. Picture

Just go to the Gravatar (Globally Recognized Avatar). Click on Sign-up Now! and key in your email address. Once you’ve received an activation email you will be able to set a password and an image for that particular email address.

And voila! You can comment on my posts and have your image there too. You can check on my comment on a previous post. I used my Gmail account to sign-up for the Gravatar.

Try it! It’s super easy and makes the commenting a little bit personal and fun!
