Dear Charlene,
It's a Thursday morning and i'm supposed to be in school because of an appointment Yi Ling, Frippiat, Jane and I made with our Physics teacher. But Jane is sick, and Yi Ling and Frippiat are in school already and they say Mrs Yip most probably won't be coming because of Science practicals today so they say i don't have to go because they are leaving soon. -.- Communication breakdowns.. And they say technology has improved communication.. -.-I got more hazy pictures from my husband yesterday. You can go and check them out. Pretty cool. PSI is a reasonably low of 63 today! How wonderful yet disappointing.. Wanted the haze to stay longer.. I mean, you have to admit it is so so cool to have haze in our very own little Singapore and to be the ones to experience it first hand! To see the roads being all foggy, not being able to see the other end of our streets, dwelling in out mist-covered spaces, smelling the faint smell of smoke, come out of the house feeling dreamy and dazed. (: I think I'll miss the haze and the cute PSI readings on the little left hand corner of Channel 5. It sickens me to think I have to start memorising my humanities subjects. I think today will be a good start. I think I'll start with Social Studies. I think Chapter 1 of our Secondary 4 textbook is quite important - Healthcare and the Welfare State Chapter. But it's a freaking long chapter and I'm too lazy to study it, especially since I'm already brave and enough to try to commit to memory Chapter 4 and 5 - Sustaining Economic Growth in the 21st Century and Good Governance. Only the brave and the strong and the foolishly daring people are studying those 2 chapters. And unfortunately that foolish person is going to be me this year. So I don't know. I scared Chapter 1 really come out. -.- Haix. What now. I think it's a good day to start memorising stuff. I think I'll do my comb humans today. And I'll do some Chemistry too. ):Okay, enough about studies. I bring EXCITING news! Last night a particular someone replied and we exchanged messages THREE times. So next time you see my phone, you'll see a most delightful name appear in the first few messages of my inbox. ;) You know who I'm talking about yah. He had science practicals today, just like you! :D*Bounces around* I feel happy today. ALL YOU PEOPLE BETTER NOT SPOIL MY DAY. Hahahahaha. Jonny Bravo is depressed. (not really.) HAha. I dared him to put my name DENISE CHEONG at the "Worship Leader" part of the bulletin. But he don't want lah, I don't want him to get into trouble and lose his job. Then now economy so bad (not really either), very difficult to find job especially for a man of his years. Then if he no more job, cannot support poor wife and kids, cannot give his kids a good education, or even a good childhood. Devoid of joy and financial help, he and his family would not be able to carry on living. Cannot pay electricity bills, cannot pay house rent, cannot even afford to buy milk for their new-born daughter Jonathania (HAHAHA - I just made that up). Poor thing. So how can i even THINK about making him lose his job?! I am appalled at the extent of my sheer intelligence sometimes. I think I'll hack into his computer (like he always hacks into mine) and purposely change the name there. No lah, I'm kidding. I'm no techno-geek. :) I'm not saying that he is either. :)It's a boring day. My head suddenly hurts a bit. I'm currently listening to Point of No Return from Phantom of the Opera. By the way, I'll check out the dates of the musical when it comes next year. I'll try to get my dad to get tickets. :) Then maybe we could go dressing up formal like we planned. Awesome! :D It's not a sunny day today. Sad. Means something is not so right. Haix. I wish I was happily married with my husband sitting right next to me now, (picture this in my room) putting his head next to mine, watching my fingers type furiously at my balcony window, with the bright full moon (not so) and the skies dotted with shimmering glitter bits, with dim, soft lights in the backdrop. Then our eyes meet, I look at the boy, he looks at me. We share a smile. I cuddle into his arms and he embraces me tightly, yet so gently. Life couldn't be more perfect. :)When he proposes, you'll be the first one I'd call. :DYours sincerely,Denise Cheong"Wait!" Emily cried. Her words thick with tears, but she lifted her chin and crossed her arms tight over her chest to keep from shaking. "I, um, I have this problem. I broke up with my boyfriend, you see. And I'm pretty upset about it, so I wanted to talk to my best friend." She swallowed and looked at the black ground. "The thing is, they're both you."
"Emily," Chris whispered, and pulled her close.
She tried not to think of the unfamiliar scent of him, something perfumed mixed with something else lush and ripe. Instead Emily concentrated on the way it felt to be next to Chris again. Two halves of a whole.
He kissed her forehead, her eyelids. She buried her face against his shirt. "I can't stand it," she said, and she was not certain what she was talking about.
Suddenly Chris grasped her wrist. "Jesus," he said. "You're bleeding."
"I know. I cut myself."
"On what?"
Emily shook her head. "It's nothing," she said. But she let Chris lead her into the kitchen and sit her down while he retrieved a Band-Aid. If he noticed that his own initials were on her arm, he was wise enough to keep silent. She closed her eyes whil he touched her with all the care in the world, and she started to heal.
