“I’m not in love with you. But you make me smile. You make me laugh. You let me be myself. You make me open up to you without even trying. You make my head turn to see if you’re around. If you’re not, it makes me sad. If you are, my heart beats a little faster. You make my Mondays feel like Fridays. You make me sing in the shower. You make me notice the littlest things. And you make everything around me matter just a bit more.. ”

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me. So won't you kill me, so I die happy. My heart is yours to fill or burst, to break or bury, or wear as jewelery, which ever you prefer. Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember, I'll always remember the sound of the stereo, the dim of the soft lights, the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers and the time on the clock when we realized it's so late and this walk that we shared together. The streets were wet and the gate was locked so I jumped it, and I let you in. And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist and you kissed me like you meant it. And I knew that you meant it, that you meant it, and I knew, that you meant it.

Have you ever tried talking to someone but HE/she just totally gives you this annoying attitude . What's that called? Guai lan, I don't know what is the exact English translation for this . I just find it super... Bastard like ?

Look dude, I'm crying while I'm saying this okay
&oh yes, you don't feel the slightest pain . Awesome .

Why do I still even have our photo showcased in my photoframe?

&you always assume that I scold you . Right, & when I do "scold" you, who feels the pain? I do. Count that as scolding, I was just stating facts. Ask yourself . ASK. I never wanted to hurt you or scold you. All I wanted.... Yes, I'm selfish. But I don't care if things work or not, I just wanted your old self.
No one, feels more pain when I see yourself like this. &you know your friends never will .

All I wanted, was to talk to you. Guess talking has turned into a crime .
I get the hint.

APOLOGIES PEOPLE,
I'm sorry for starting the post in a sad way.

18th December 2009, Friday .
I went to take my N level results today . What a wonderful experience . I was so nervous . For these past few days , the results were the only thing that I spent my every breathe thinking about . I was so nervous that I didn't sleep till 4AM this morning.

Anyway, I'M COMING BACK PEOPLE(:
I'm satisefied with my result. I really am.

I'd like to thank everyone who supported , encourage, laugh&cried with me through this whole N level Journey .
Thank You so much(:

Toodles;
Where did the guy who said " you're not going to ite, trust me" went to?

Almost 5'0
It is officially one more day till I get my N level results . &yes, I not only have butterflies in my tummy, I have it everywhere .

One thing Atikah Goh is good at is Worrying . I'm probably going to be the best grandmother thanks to all these worrying .

I'm not going to type my worries because I know it will never end . I'm going to stay home today and think/guess/ worry about my results . I somehow don't get how people faced reality and prepare themselves for thier results .

I myself can't think, I don't even know how I did . For me to get below 19points is pretty impossible & for me to get above 19 points is also abit too impossible 'cause I worked really hard for it .
All I know, my horrible results are out tomorrow.
SIGHS.


Love is as much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants it, everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it, those who do will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, never... never forget it.

It's been ages since you went skating, will you take me skating?

Everytime I let my mind wander, I get swamped with so many thoughts. There's so much I'm sorry for, so much left unsaid and undone. To sum it up, an avalanche indeed. For now, I'd like to keep them close to my heart, away from perpetual questions and probes from some people.

You make everything real for me, even if it's just for awhile. It's sufficient, this is. What you're not doesn't make me miserable or upset cos' i'm just happy to be part of this picture, even if often I may just be that single tiny pixel, i'm satisfied.

OMFG. I JUST CANT GET THIS SONG OUTTA MY HEAD. AWESOMENESS .

Anybody could've told you right from the start it's 'bout to fall apart
So rather than hold on to a broken dream or just hold on to love
And I could find a way to make it, don't hold on too tight
I'll make it without you tonight
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you...


TODAY IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER TIRING DAY!


&all the time, you were telling me lies ,
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

I can’t do it alone I’ve tried.

God, am so bloody pissed with all the things that went wrong that I can punch 10 walls/ cry 3 hrs/ down a dozen drinks. ROARRR. $#&%(!$^!$ Need some damn release. And don't come asking what's wrong or anything. It makes me want to punch you too. Don't even bloody hell message me something else like, Cheer up. Leave it.

On an unrelated note, it's apparent that you don't bother. You don't even know what I'm talking about when I said "____" the other night. Makes me disappointed. But then again, who am I to expect so much from you? Maybe we're not meant to be, no matter how much we try now or anything. Maybe I'm not for you, you're not for me. You've better alternatives out there- just, someone better. It's tearing me apart, our separation, albeit chosen out of my own accord. Still, it hurts to be away, to be a nobody, but I guess it'll have to be that way for now cos nothing's solved. And I write this without restraint because you don't read anyway/ I'm reckless, hotheaded and tired of hiding everything.

29th December - 3rd December 2009 
Singapore > Shen zhen (transit) > Shang hai 

Shang hai was really what I expected to be . A vibrant city .  

During my stay in Shang hai, I stayed in the Shang Hai Classical Hotel where it's located in the streets of the old Shang hai . It was really nice staying there . You'd think that the hotel is old  just because it's located at the streets of the old Shang hai but it's not true . The hotel staff were pleasent . The hotel was clean . Their rooms were really cozy and comfortable. 
 
On the third day of our holiday, my family and I went on a one day tour to suzhou and Zhou zhuang . The tour was really fun but tiring . We went to see suzhou's most beautiful lingering garden and zhouzhuang's very own "Venice". 

We also visted su zhou's very popular silk factory . Dad wanted to get something for mum . However after watching their silk fashion show , mum was so unimpressed that we didn't even take a look at their other clothes . Honestly, the fashion show was really unimpressive . Remember I went to watch a turkish leather show in turkey that blew me away? Yeah, the silk fashion show reallyreally can't be compared to that . 

On the fourth day of our stay in Shang hai, we visted Shang hai's very own aquarium! It was a fabulous place . They have so many varieties of fishes and sea species .
 
Now, you'd probably think it's lame cause we have our own under water world, but here's the thing , Shang hai's aquarium is so huge that I had blisters on my feet after visiting . Plus we spent half our day there . As usual, my dad was busy taking pictures and teaching me angles while my mum read the introduction of the species . 
You'd be speechless if you went there, trust me!

Shanghai carries one of the most expensive fashion brands . From Ralph Laureen to Gucci &so on. There were alot of expensive brands but we didn't really shop at shanghai . We wanted to save our energy for hong kong(: 
ANYWAY, 
MY DAD BOUGHT ME KNEE LENGTH BOOTS FOR ME!!!!
Okay. I know what exactly you're thinking, short people can't use knee lenghth boots right? That's what I thought too, but it was a big huge misconception 'cause I look perfectly fine in it(: 

One thing I dislike about shanghai?
I dislike smelling the smell of smoke while I relax at starbucks sipping my toffe nut latte/ caremel frappé . It's really weird. The "No Smoking Sign" is so huge &yet people smoke in this airconditioned area. 
It makes you wonder if people in shanghai just keeps smoking non stop.

One word to describe Shang hai? DYNAMIC.

3rd-7th December 2009
Shang Hai > Shen zhen (bus) > HONG KONG . 

I woke up at 5am just to prepare for my 10:30am flight at Shang hai Hong Qiao Airport . My family and I wanted to leave the hotel as early as possible and head to the airport as quickly as possible because we're afraid that we may be delayed due to the heavy traffic in Shang Hai . You have no idea seriously, you can be feeling hopeless in your car for hours thanks to the jams .
 
By 7am on 4th December 2009 , we took an hour drive to the airport then realizing that we went to the wrong airport . Our flight was at shang hai hong qiao airport but we went to pu dong airport . Once again we took another hour drive to hong qiao airport . 

Shang hai hong qiao airport was really small. I suspect it's their old airport. Initially I got a shock when the land steward said that we went to the wrong airport . How many can there be? But Shang hai is a really big city so I guess they can afford to have two airports . 

Security check : 
I was still using my septum ring . I wanted to try and see if it beeps , afterall I remembered d telling me that it wouldn't beep . From Singapore to shen zhen it didn't beep . From shen zhen to Shang hai it didn't beep . I just wanted to make sure . 
However this time round,  
It beeped!!!!
Then I realized it was my knee length boots that made it beep. Thank god. I almost had a heart attack .

Upon reaching hong kong : 
"I waited the whole day for you to come online "
'cause no matter what I'll search around the world for you;

I realised now why he said hong kong is just like Singapore .

Hong kong is an AWESOME place . For the whole time we went shopping shopping & more shopping . However I must say the things there were a little too costly . Well, people who live in hong kong actually Have a really high living standard .  

Our hotel was located at kowloon . Beautiful 5star hotel . It was just a little cramped . Hong kong has really nice infrastructure . Do you know that you can be shopping at the shops while upstairs is residential area? Hong kong has a huge population but due to limited space it gets tough to seperate residential&shopping area.

Food was great too . We had Turkish food, Indian food, Middle eastern food & Chinese food.
I tried the hong kong's milk tea and the waffle . The waffle was super NICE but the milk tea? Definately not my cup of tea. 

We went to hong kong island for sight seeing . We visited victoria peak , fishing village and stanly market . 
We also went pass repulsive bay . That is where all the super rich people live . I saw Jackie chan's house, uber huge . I wanna live at repulsive bay too!!!

When we stayed at hong kong we were just in time to watch the east Asia opening games that was held in hong kong . Fireworks, performances . Really spectacular . 
I had the opportunity to watch the lazer show . & I even the chance to catch the table tennis matches .
 
Ultimately, I had a really enjoyable time at hong kong . It's not just because there were alot of shopping , I just loved the place . It made me remenisce . Hong kong? Highly recomended by ME . I'm definately going back there again . 

6th-7th December 2009
Hong kong (MTR) > Shenzhen 

My dad hated the idea of taking the subway however we had no other way of going back to shen zhen so we had no other choice.  
 
I wouldn't say that shen zhen is boring . I'm sure they have their own tourist attractions but because we arrived at shen zhen in the late afteroon, we had nothing much to do . The streets were quiet there were beggars all around . 
 
Shen zhen is a huge business district& what we heard from the chauffer who drove us arround, 90% of the population is not local . They're either from other parts of china or from other countries . 

7th December 2009 
Shenzhen > Singapore

Holidays are just like Dreams to me.
&Although I really don't wish for dreams to end, I know this dream , has already come to an end . Time to get back to reality Atikah Goh.

AWWW 
Hellooooo SINGAPORE(: IM BACK.


P.S. I think, I just think,  in this post , I didn't say a single "like seriously" :/
