it's hard to stomach.
the people closest to you knowing you better than even you'd care to admit.
But they are ready to tell you and they still love you
and in fact, they love you despite it.
they want the best for you.
it hurts when people care.
it hurts to care.
but it teaches you.
it heals you, even the most hardened, worn of us care for someone.
and that's what makes us human
When you're faced with a tough decision.
It's the closest ones to us who can tell us we already know our decision
we're just too afraid to take it
Because that decision sometimes means leaving others behind
that decision sometimes is so emotionally demanding that it leaves us
someone incapable of rational choice
and yet, they know in our hearts, we've already made a choice.
and the right one at that.
Don't act on the fear.

"you never know the biggest day of your life is going to be your biggest.
the days you think are gonna be the big ones,
they're never as big as you make them out to be in your head.
it's the regular days
the ones that start out normal
those are the days that end up being the biggest..."
The Valedictorian's speech, unfortunately at the hospital bed, they met with an accident and she was the only survivor. It was supposed to be their big day. Immense and yet only she survived.
Carev made her recite her speech since she'd prepared so hard for it and wasn't able to give it.
Idealistic, sure but it's allowing yourself to dream isn't it?
"Today's the day my life begins.
Today, I become a citizen of the world.
Today, I become a grown up
Today, I become accountable to someone other than myself and my parents
Accountable for more than my grades
Today I become accountable to the world
to the future
to all the possibilities that life has to offer
Starting Today.
My job is to show up
Wide eyed and willing and ready..
For what?
I don't know
For anything
For everything.
To take on Life.
To take on Love
To take on the responsibility and possibility
Today my friends, our lives begin
And i for one, can't wait."
And again, at the wedding... as they collaborated to see Alex and Izzie through on their wedding day...
Carev's vows:
"Today's the day my life begins.
All my life i've been just me
Just a smart-mouthed kid
Today I become a man
Today I become a husband
Today i become accountable to someone other than myself
Today I become acountable to you
To our future
To all the possibilities our marriage has to offer
Together no matter what happens
I'll be ready
for anything for everytihng
To take on life, to take on love
To take on possibility and responsibility
Today, Izzie Stevens our life together begins
And I for one can't wait."

There will always be the girls who dramatise things.
Their emotional.
A heck of a lot to handle.
They cause trouble simply because they care too much and they don't know any better.
They don't know how not to care.
You'd say they lack focus but hey, at least they cared enough to ask how your day was going or you really feel they want to know how they can lend a hand to help.
That's Izzie.
She cares and she gives and that's the only way she knows how to help.
Just to be there when the attention seems to be on the rest.
When she sees herself as just one of the ones out of the action, helpless, well no.
Because in each group of us, Izzie Stevens exists and we just got to recognise it and show her we appreciate and love her for who she is.
She's not asking for much, just to live her dream and to make others happy.
the days you think are gonna be the big ones,
they're never as big as you make them out to be in your head.

We'll come just closer to the Gods our patients expect us to be.
Question of expectations.
Watching Greys again.
Just has a way of worming into our conscience and making us question.
Question our lives, the way we lead it. The things we take for granted.
And it's always the simple things we overlook.
The people who accept us wholeheartedly
Just the way we are.
I'm grateful.
I really am.
For the great bunch of friends i have.
Maybe we all need to take stock from time to time
Be less mistrustful
Be that little bit more forgiving of those that just can't understand us
Our train of thought, the speed at which we speak, the life we want to lead.
Not everyone's gotta have the same goals but hey, if we happen to have met,
that speaks for something doesn't it?

Walking on Broken Glass.
Ballet under the Stars was great~!
Thanks for a great night out Gerry.. nothing better than honest, simple, chill out time with an unexpected good friend. Just like Thana and I, think we've struck up quite an unlikely friendship and so they say friendships strike in the most unlikely quarters.
To me, Bz (A31) is to me how kel is .. like a good buddy, seldom talk but can just hang out together and be friends. Reliable.
I LOve dance.
I love movement expressing mystery, happiness.. or even outright passion, joy!
I'm thinking it's time mates for some dancing!
Great tennis session too! Somehow why did we not start earlier?
Just need to shed 5kg.. dance in Melb, make coffee... go to hk, bintan for annual holidays!
we're young, live it!

imperfect little me.
I think this is the sweetest, most unpretentious love song.
To me, it speaks a truth so raw and so pure and simple.
You don't love him because of all the perfect things he's gonna say.
You love him because you accept him for all that he is, come what may.
You've got to accept him for his flaws, you're gonna like him just for his simplicity - the way he looks when he smiles, the way he tries in all his silly ways to make you laugh, you're gonna wanna be with him for the support, for the love and just the unique way only he can make you feel, make you smile when you're down.
"not anyone else, but you.."
-Mich
You're a part time lover and a full time friend
The monkey on you're back is the latest trend
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
We both have shiny happy fits of rage
I want more fans, you want more stage
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
You're always trying to keep it real
And I'm in love with how you feel
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train
I kiss you all starry eyed, my body's swinging from side to side
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
So why can't, you forgive me?
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu du
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
