We're that blogger

At times funny, moving, bitter and sad, it's just reinforced the fact that we're all human, with amazingly different experiences that somehow reinforce just how similar we all really are.

Recommended by MercerMachine: "A collection of (mostly) Singaporean bloggers sharing some of their most personal (and funny and sad and painful and idiotic) experiences? What's not to like?"

Added Popagandhi: Our first literary meme? Take part and trackback your entries!

[tinkertailor: this meme is still going strong. after all the negative publicity on blogging, this is a breath of fresh air. you won't find this featured on the front page of our national papers ;) ]

(very late, non singaporean addition...)

i am the child that lingered behind after church on friday afternoons, wanting to see if god came down to accept the donations. i am the child who passed by 'toyland' and glanced longingly at the puppy doll in the corner. i am that same girl who cried when it dissappeared.

i am young, reckless and naive. i am the girl who believes you when you whisper 'iloveyou' at 1am, outside your apartment carpark as you enter the building to go back home to your girlfriend.

i am the girl wearing red in church, praying you will break up with her....

Trackback from ian_tan(at)toysoldieradventure(dot)net:

I am the boy who is now a soldier. I remembered how sad I was to leave home for Tekong and subsequently Keat Hong camp. Now I have adapted and I no longer feel sad. I know I am not that boy anymore. I need to grow up.

I am the man-to be....

I am the girl who dislikes you, for hate is too strong a word, something that you fail to match up to, you being too insignificant in nature.
I am the girl who dislikes people spouting words of sunshine and them thinking that such words are words of wisdom. I especially dislike people who have rose-tinted shades on.
I am restless, dormant and waiting.
I am thinking that perhaps, things that we have searched for all our lives have been in front of us all the while, just that we never knew it.
I cringe at open displays.
I am the girl with a spinning head the other time, catapulting through time though lying prostrate.
I was the girl on the stool in the corner, who spotted the green exit sign in the darkness.

I am that teenager who dropped out of school cos' my teachers couldn't stand me.
I am that girl who couldn't control her temper and couldn't hold on to any relationship.
I am that lady who is still standing strong despite fallen countless times.
I am that woman who is still a girl at heart.
I am that blogger who is always posting comments on backtrack entries cos' I am s l o w
... wahaha

I'm the boy who grew up thinking he was the smartest guy, only to end up last in secondary school. I'm the boy who thought he was a great soccer player, only end up for coach to screw. I'm the guy who used to look down on bengs and lians, only for them to help me in my darkest times. Im the guy who thought he was the greatest person alive, now can only eat the humble pie. I'm just a somebody, a nobody.

Happily, after I posted “I’m that girl”, someone read it, and resolved the conflict between us. Or rather, the silence, the abject lack of conversation and mutual invisibility. I am so glad that dark cloud is past. Thanks, Mercer Machine, for starting this meme!

I am that girl who... really makes you think...

i am that girl who would wish upon a star for romance. i am that girl who decided romance was daily living.
i am that girl who never wanted luxury because she was scared she'd take it for granted. i am that girl who craves for deprived illusions.
i am that girl who is elitist. i am that girl who could never bring herself to be sold to money.
i am that girl who craves attention. i am that girl who shies away from the spotlight.
i am that girl who dreams California. I am that girl who lives New York.
i am that giwl who wants to shine like a beacon into the future. i am that girl, who, afraid and directionless, stops herself from doing so.
i am that girl that girlfriends cherish. i am that girl that boys do not value.
i am that girl who plays the dating game with you. i am that girl who loses all, all the time.
i am that girl who gives you an arch look over the crowd. i am that girl who turns away from you.
i am that girl who lets you walk all over her. i am that girl who stops you occasionally.
i am that girl who makes you hate her to test your love. i am that girl who is frequently disappointed.
i am that girl who gives sex to get love. i am that girl who sees that you have neither satisfactory love, nor satisfactory sex, to give.
i am that girl who scares you with her sex appeal. i am that girl who wishes you wouldnt get scared.
i am that girl who sleeps with you to see if you will stay. i am that girl who watches you fade into the past.
i am that girl you cannot imagine spending the rest of your life with. I am that girl who makes sure she loves herself enough to only make you believe she needed you.
i am that girl who lets you leave and justifies it well into the months ahead. i am that girl who cries her pain into an unrecognisable memory.
i am that girl who believes in you and her more than you do. i am that girl who walks away.
i am that girl who recognises maya. i am that girl who drowns herself in it daily.
i am that girl who is too frank for her own good. i am that girl who is unwilling to stop her frankness.
i am that girl who wants to believe. i am that girl who is scared to start.

...often caught bitting a pen, talking to myself, just gazing into open air as I sit at my desk at work.
...a chindian who can't speak a word of Tamil or Hindi, so please don't ask me to translate anything!
...a chindian who can speak Mandarin, Cantonese and a little bit of Hokien, although I don't look like I can.
...a guy who loves all types of music from the wicked rhymes of Tupac to the hypnotizing melodic voice of Ella Fitzgerald.
...currently upset at a friend of mine in Malaysia who has not replied any of the SMS's I have sent.
...craving for some good old fashion Curry Chicken!
...wondering if I should shave my goatee.
