i feel like dying today.
but i am very, very grateful for all the people in my life who keep me going, keep me smiling, keep me encouraged. i seriously have some of the most amazing people in my life - be it my best friends, my family, my boyfriend, acquaintances, people whom i dont know who email me and leave me comments, or schoolmates. they do all these big things and little things for me, whether consciously or otherwise, and i dont know what i did to deserve them. i really cant think of a single right thing that i’ve done to be worthy of their kindness, their love, their time and their belief in me.
so i want to dedicate this post to these amazing people in my life :) dont be angry at me if your name is not in here, ok? it doesnt mean i dont appreciate what you’ve done for me, it just means i have such a crappy state of mind when i’m functioning on almost 36 hours without sleep. that and i still feel like dying.

hey Su Ann!
Just wanted to say that for all it’s worth, I think a lot of us will agree that we should be thanking you instead–i can never put into words how much your blog has helped me along the way, especially during some tough times I have been going through the past few months.
So here’s a big thank you hug to you for pulling me through. Keep writing and being who you are. We all love you for that. =)
68. Jeff from LA | December 14th, 2007 at 2:25 pm
See, 68 posts of people telling you they love you. Don’t you feel better now, ;)……..
69. Albert Ng | December 14th, 2007 at 2:55 pm
When you say reality check, did you mean the part where we swished the air and chorused, “Check-ch-check-check-check-ch-check it out, what-wha-what-what-what’s it all about?”
70. Dickson | December 14th, 2007 at 11:49 pm
Hur… I didn’t know there’s another person with the nick Waffle…
71. Chen Chow | December 29th, 2007 at 12:41 pm
Su Ann, thanks a lot for mentioning my name… I didn’t really help much! It is definitely your effort! Hope that everything would turn out well~! :)
