Jean/Jeanie/Genie, a dreamer with an over-reactive heart
Ji Inn of all trades, mistress of none. Many things pique my interest but I haven't yet found my passion. I like both the arts and the sciences, and am open to everything in between and beyond. "Exploring" recently made its way into my list of hobbies.
If the thought of doing something scares me, that's when I know I have to do it. I believe in taking steps to better myself, in embracing challenges as a means of personal growth. This is a picture of me at Pulai Falls in Malaysia, taking risks and going out of my comfort zone. It turned out to be a marvelous place.
Madeleine
Mad/Maddie, studying in Perth, (falling) in love ♡
This photo was captured while exploring the streets and alleys of Geraldton. I suppose it shows my enthusiasm for treading a different path and discovering the unexpected. And taking pictures with adorable graffiti. With obscene/ funny gestures (take your pick and we could either remain strangers or become friends).
On a less seemingly-nonsensical note, I love listening to marginalised voices narrating the other side of the story. (Which is why Wicked is one of my favourite musicals and my second major is Anthropology.) It opens my eyes, blows my mind, and captures my heart. Tell me your story and you might find yourself holding onto a piece of my heart.

Stella, Christian, writer, 20-year-old idealist
I like pretty photos and inspirational quotes. Words are my favourite way of communication - be it reading, writing or good conversations with people. This picture was taken at the old Bukit Timah railway. I guess it signifies journeys, and standing at the start of them. My favourite Disney song in Sec 3 was "At the Beginning" from Anastasia (a movie I love).
I have very few pictures with just me (I prefer being behind the camera haha or taking it with a friend). The little things can make my day - a smile, note or hug. You can read more on my blog at faithinbuilding.wordpress.com!
If you chance upon this entry, you will instinctively know that all the songs below are because of you and for you. Because you're the only person who managed to, well, ruin me in the cruelest yet most beautiful way possible.
Wow, this is going to be a rather long entry because there are many songs that are capable of
(a) wrenching my heart (b) tearing my heart into pieces
(c) making me tear (d) making me bawl
(e) making me curl in bed the whole afternoon
(f) making me lose mood for life (g) all of the above
I'll try to keep the list as short as possible.

Only One - Yellowcard
Made my mistakes, let you down
And I can't, I can't hold on for too long
I will never forget that night of bickering whether the original or the acoustic version sounds better. Sometimes I naively think that if I had agreed with you, perhaps you would have found it easier to hold on to whatever we had. I know things don't work this way, but what we shared was truly so innocent that that thought wouldn't have been strange at all. It's sad, knowing now that I can never love anyone else the same way I loved you so simply.

搞笑/ Joke - 羅志祥/ Show Luo
还在搞笑是否拥有麻痹的疗效 唱一夜歌却避不开催泪的曲调 我彻夜胡闹, 希望听到有人会提到你好不好
This really resonates, because sometimes I find myself wondering if you are doing well. Sometimes I hate myself for being on a Facebook hiatus all those years, because why aren't we friends on Facebook so that I'd know how you are doing? But the occasional times when I chance upon a picture of you, I'd smile to myself thinking how happy you looked in the picture. I wish you happiness, always.

Your Guardian Angel - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever

they will laugh leh D says:
i know lol
tsktsk ★ MADELEINE says:
but i know my bestfriend not so bad oneee (:
he will help me up if i fall into the waters :D D says:
i wont even let you fall =)
Why did you have to go and say that? Because it just kills me now. This conversation will always be etched in my mind and my heart. It was the sweetest thing that I had heard as a 14-year-old, and now it serves as a reminder that not all promises will be fulfilled. Anyway, I took an instant liking to Your Guardian Angel when you introduced it to me, but now I tear up whenever I listen to it. Not being able to sing you this song while you play the guitar will always be a regret; that was another promise unfulfilled.

我不想忘記你/ I don't want to forget you - 郭靜/ Claire
我不想忘记你. 就算可以,
我宁可记得所有伤心
我想我宁愿一辈子为你伤心难过，守护着你在我心中的地位。这样空虚的心情，有谁能了解？也有谁会猜到，放下你之后的痛，竟然会比失去你的痛更痛。(Sorry for becoming cheena for a moment, there just wasn't a better way to express myself.)
♥♥♥
Need You Now - Lady Antebellum
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
Same reason as the Chinese song above, and when translated in English, yes I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all. It's been 6 years, and I find myself not minding that I still cry over what we'd lost. I like to remember you every now and then, to sadistically bask myself in every moment that I miss you. And because I can't properly express this in English: 痛是真的, 让我相信那份爱也是真的。

一直很安靜/ Always been quiet - 阿桑
给你的爱一直很安静, 除了泪在我的脸上任性
原来缘分是用来说明, 你突然不爱我这件事情
I don't understand how, though so many people have walked in and out of my life, you're still the only one that comes to my mind when a song like this comes on. I've loved and lost so many times, but no one else was capable of making me feel as broken as you did. That last line just kills me every single time, I guess because that was your excuse as well.

The One That Got Away - Katy Perry
Talk about our future like we had a clue
Never planned that one day
I'd be losing you
This music video really speaks to me because why did I have to mess it up for us and drive you away? We had so many plans unfulfilled, and I'd always mourn the day right between our birthdays, the special day that we'd go out celebrating together... but we never got to. You were the one and only person I never planned on losing.
There cannot be a better song to describe all these feelings I have towards you. Every single line in this song drives a knife right through my heart because it feels like a song written for me. You will always be the closest stranger I never knew.
♥♥♥
Autumns Monologue - From Autumn To Ashes
Oh why can't I be what you need
A new improved version of me
Now you see me, now you don't Now you need me, now you don't
Kill me already, hahahaha. This song just reduces me to a crying mess every time. It forces me to revisit every single memory and feeling I ever experienced with you, and I love it yet hate it at the same time. What makes this song even more amazing (and heartbreaking) is The Fiction We Live, which is kinda the guy's response of this song (it's included in this video, and start at 4:28). The title makes me think that everything was simply fiction, which is just so heart-wrenching.

我真的受伤了/ I'm Truly Hurt - 王菀之/ Ivana Wong
怎么你声音变得冷淡了/ 是你变了 是你变了
灯光熄灭了 音乐静止了/ 滴下的眼泪已停不住了
The perfect song to cry to when you feel that special someone drifting further than your heart can take. It's that feeling when you see the person so dear to you slipping away, but you don't really wanna face it cause you think you're just being paranoid. I'm sorry I didn't know how to express my concerns in a better way, but how do I show you how much I miss you when you're right in front of me?
♥♥♥
Sorry - Buckcherry
This time I think, I'm to blame
It's harder to get through the days
You get older and blame turns to shame
This song just makes me wanna beat myself up. Because it is true that over many years of reflection, all the hurt and anger evolves to become shame and self-blame. There are so many things I wanna apologise for and say to you, but I don't have the... right to be in touch with you... ever. It tears me apart.
♥♥♥
I'm guessing 11 songs is a little too many already, oops! But there are just so many songs that are so sad... Of course there are other songs, like Taylor Swift's Tim Mcgraw ("I hope you think of me") and Back To December (it's kinda funny cause December is somehow always rough), Adele's Someone Like You (does anyone not relate to it?), Lesley Roy's Unbeautiful (really makes you question when you became unbeautiful), Mayday Parade's Miserable At Best (everything about this song is just </3), and so many more. Just gonna emooooxzxzxzz myself to sleep now ha.
