My title explains is all doesn't it? haha. For the past week, i've been waking up with a weak ankle that hurts everytime i put pressure on it. The pain wears off as i ''warm up'' with a walk to the toilet and back but it comes back after it ''cools down''. hMmmm... perhaps i'll go see a doc sometime in recess week if it hasnt recovered by then. Swimming with fins surely doesn't help.
Talking about swimming. I'm finally back! And hopefully i can get to do the same event as last year. The best part about swimming is that i know i will come out of the pool fitter, stronger and hopefully.... with a better bod =p I must somehow catch up with alex and jon jon at least. My aim to over take aug looks set to fail since i started so late. hahaa
Today, i didnt have much mood to study but after reading some manga, i've had my fill of fun and i'm back mugging with a vengeance! Screwed up one on monday, i cant afford to screw 2 more on friday. So i got to jia you!!
On a side note, Chingay was v fun! Hope u call can get to see the pics me and Debbie took with the performers in their elaborate costume. Totally worth my sat~
Ok. I'm done with my random rants for the day. cya!
Song of the day: 太美丽 - 陶喆 this is going out to you ;)

Do you know who I am? Like really who I am? I spent some time thinking about the people in my life that really know the answer. And the conclusion is one person, or maybe two(If i include myself)
The thing is... How many people really know the true you? That's because we all want to be accepted by our friends, and every group of friends is different - Different dynamics, different characteristics. So we behave in accordance to how the people will most accept us.
The same goes for me. I'm different when im with my mse friends/JC/swimming friends. But in times of trouble, i usually turn to myself for help. In that aspect, i think im quite a loner. Perhaps i am a loner to begin with. I've had many friends but not many who knew me very well. Even if they did, none of them last more than 2 years cuz thats when i graduate from the place and i don't really keep in contact much. This realization dawned upon me and i started to do some soul searching.
Dependence on people is something i avoid because i learnt that the most dependable person on earth is always yourself. Trust on the other hand, is something you must give, its always risky but essential to build up on friendships, otherwise you'll forever remain as acquaintance. Trust has to also be earned.
Basically, i'm just feeling lonely and in need of some real friendship again. i've been hurt badly before and tho' that scar has faded over time, it still remains hidden somewhere in the deep recesses of my mind and has affected me subconsciously. Perhaps its time again to venture out and search for something i have lost a long time ago.

Features an abstract- floral digital artwork drawn by me in photoshop. This layout is appropriate for all genders. The grandiose design is laid freely on a simple canvas and they complement each other pretty well. The sudden gradient change is applied to create one contrasting element. I created a 3D effect on the vines and they seem to jut out of the yellow canvas.
Why the name? The design, as you can see, is abstract and it gives a double-vision feel, therefore, Esophoria, a tendency to squint your eyes inward to create a double vision.
