Autobiography


This girl.

Many people know her as Stephanie, and only a selected few are able to endearingly refer to her as Yi Qi. 
She easily passes off as a 21-year old, and sometimes even as a teenager. Her cheerfulness brightens up her surroundings easily, and her infectious playfulness hits everyone around her with a force much reckoned with. Her wide smile brings wider smiles to others’ faces, including mine.

Though petite, her boundless energy never seems to die down, and her playful fights are equivalent to that of a hamster; miniature and all. She gets all grumpy when cooped up at home doing boring stuff, but a simple kiss to her forehead is enough to get her to simmer down (for the time being).

Her klutziness at times can be adorable, while other times worrying. Her technologic illiteracy is on the other hand, always adorable, and the furrowing of her eyebrows are always a sight to watch. Immediate attention is required to her, otherwise her irritation will grow to become frustration and eventually anger, and that’s when it is no fun any more.

However, that being said, one kiss and one pat on her head is enough for her to drop all her negative feelings and thoughts, and melting down to this cute girl whom I have grown to love so much.
I love her and will do whatever it takes just to see a smile on her face. I pretend to lose so that she can win. I go along with all her silly games, though I draw the line at her nonsensical theories.

To the world, I’m Harris Lim. But to her, I’m her boy toy friend, who loves her a tad too much.



So, 
the boy wrote this autobiography ages ago, but because it's so sweet,
I need to present his love for me to everyone. #overtshowoff

If not, this blog seems like my one-sided love/passion and some may even say stalking him. Basically all my posts are about him. oh no.

I've got it bad.
I admit. 

Anw, this autobiography of mine is really cute. I love the highlighted sentence especially.

Harris Lim,
Me love you back too.

P.S: I hope you are studying! And not be addicted to all sorts of social media.

P.P.S: I miss you back. #inseparable #ohno

Respect

respect |riˈspekt|noun1 a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements: the director had a lot of respect for Douglas as an actor.• the state of being admired in such a way:his first chance in over fifteen years to regain respect in the business.• due regard for the feelings, wishes, rights, or traditions of others: respect for human rights.• (respects) a person's polite greetings:give my respects to your parents.
2 a particular aspect, point, or detail: the government's record in this respect is a mixed one.verb [ with obj. ]admire (someone or something) deeply, as a result of their abilities, qualities, or achievements: she was respected by everyone she worked with | (as adj.respected) : a respected academic.    • have due regard for the feelings, wishes, rights, or traditions of: I respected his views.• avoid harming or interfering with: it is incumbent upon all boaters to respect the environment.• agree to recognize and abide by (a legal requirement): he urged all foreign nationals to respect the laws of their country of residence.ORIGIN late Middle English: from Latinrespectus, from the verb respicere ‘look back at, regard,’ from re- ‘back’ + specere ‘look at.’
Hi,

As you can see, I have kindly took down the meaning of respect from none other than Oxford Dictionary and pasted it here so that references can be made easily. It has come to my attention from yesterday text message, that you wanted me to respect your time. I must confess that upon receiving that, I was surprised. In all my 23 years of basically non-existent living, I have never been accused of not respecting or not giving due regards for one's feelings. (Taken via Oxford Dictionary) 
Yes, I do admit i have been mean to others, but they are normally my loved ones and they understand that deep down I was only teasing. Hence, if I had previously implied that I was not respecting your time, please do know that I was only joking, or in cool kids term, "Just Kidding!" Perhaps, your sense of humor and mine is of different frequency and I can only blame myself for that.
However, if you had taken it the wrong way, please do accept my humble apologies and be comforted to know that I would never ever disrespect your time. You are a busy man, with weekdays and even weekends filled with all sorts of activities. I am sorry to have taken so much of your time and I will work on it.
With that in mind, please continue to love me like before and once again I am sorry for everything and am grateful for your magnanimous personality.
I love you.
Yours forever,Yi Qi

Sometimes


i dont even know what i want

and from us.

im equally confused too

train of thoughts


So I'm in NUS
writing my essays
while Harris is off for project meeting

I just smsed him I have lost my Internet connection
and his reply was
"eh ttyl k!"

Ouch much?
lucky by a stroke of inspiration
and my much-advanced skills in technology
I've tapped on to my hotspot
so now I can blog.

I'm terribly stoked about my shows
and I have dl-ed it all
2BG, HIMYM, MF, TBBT
I have missed you so.
dying to watch it now actually.

and speaking of Internet and downloads,
finally after so damn long
I've managed to upgrade to fibre broadband
praise the heavens and lords and whatnots
for fast internet speed

NUS Starbucks is pretty awesome actually
there's powerpoint everywhere
*cues in rainbow face*
so now armed with my caramel frappe
and my Macbook Air plus my iPhone
I CAN TAKE ON THE WORLD
#hipster

being here reminds me of my days of mugging at good old SAC
where the lovely 3 spent at least an hour swatting off houseflies
and then buying cheap coffee at vending machines
using the white board and trying to make sense
 of nonsense linear algebra
which i still cannot solve to save my life

those 4 years of my life were a torture
but honestly the friends i've gained make it worthwhile
 i might go back there again
so i can be friends with them
though might is the keyword here
and the chances are terribly slim.

i'm sorry
mathematical science is my arch-enemy.
it's not my fault.
it's who I am.

stuck in a science course
where only nerds and geeks come out to play
(i'm sorry, it's true, don't judge me, judge them instead)
how can i even have the same freq with them?

thankfully, i found a bunch
who understands my mean jokes
my evil intentions
my cynicism
and for that, my loyalty with you will always stand.
you guys know who you are
let's not get mushy by naming you all
or awkward if I've, erm left you out.

as ever, I believe in fate
more so than ever now
going to WAT was probably the best choice
I've made in my university life
I've travelled to the States
and visited the Wizarding World of Harry Potter
#favoriteplaceintheworldnow

it's worth it, to embark on this great adventure alone
because, only then, I will go all out
and what do you know,
I've made amazing friends
and even found someone
who make me realize
how goddamn lucky I am
because now,
I am yours 
and yours only
for the many many years to come.

Okay too mushy
that's a whole hell of 'train of thoughts'
but I needed to rant them out
and I'm getting worried with my job search
i'm hoping like mad
that Unilever accepts my essays
and perhaps I can get in the much-hyped UFLP
#fingerscrossed

I dont think I want to go back to AI
the company is too small
too constricted and frankly the turnover rate is alarming.
however, if all else fails
I hope AI will accept me

and that is/are my thoughts for now
and where is Harris Lim?
oh right, he doesn't want to talk to me

fine. 
you are so gonna suffer my wrath later.

Disney

A Whole New World

I can show you the world.
Shining, shimmering, splendid.
Tell me, Princess, now when did you last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes.
Take you wonder by wonder.
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming.

A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear.
That now I'm in a whole new world with you.
Now I'm in a whole new world with you.

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feelings
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world
(Don't you dare close your eyes)
A hundred thousand things to see
(Hold your breath, it gets better)

I'm  like a shooting star
I've come so far.
I cant go back to where I used to be.

(A whole new world)
Every turn a surprise.
(With new horizons to pursue)
Every moment red-letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you.

A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A trillion chase
A wondrous place
For you and me.





ごめんなさい
私は愛してる

The Perfect Fit?


The Perfect Fit?

My angst versus your optimism
My competitiveness versus your chillax slacking attitude
My lack of compassion versus your high tolerance for everyone
My use of vulgar language versus your prim and proper, standard language


wait, I am churning out some horrible persona of mine.

lets do this again.

My sweet innocent smiles versus your ugly wicked frowns
My petite figure versus your gangly tall large-framed structure
My many friends versus your foreveralone image
My liking for giraffes versus your disturbing and creepy love for llama


And that's so much better
So, in a nutshell

I'm too awesome.
Count your blessings. Harris Lim.

愛してる


I love you
for all that you are
all that you have been
and all that you are yet to be.

Autobiography, in a third person narrative


Many people might know him as Harris Lim
the tall guy who studied at NUS,
forever late for lectures and tutorials.
he might seem as an introvert shy awkward guy
but once you get him talking,
the real problem is asking him to shut up
and believe me, I know best

Tall, dark and completed with bad boyish look,
my type of guy exactly
but underneath it all,
he is not the image he portrayed.
  
Yes, he has his bad boy moments
from lighting up cigarettes to clubbing and trying to get drunk.
(though apparently he has now quit smoking)
but underneath it all, he’s a stay home guy
satisfied with his weekends burn simply
watching soccer and mugging hard.
he is fascinated with the newest tech gadgets
and is what everyone considers now
a social media addict.

photography is his love
from owning his DSLR
to learning photoshop and lightroom
and trying not to judge, a Holga camera.
his OCD ensures his photos are all nicely edited
his folders are all in place
and his music needs to be classified under playlists
and completed with albums name, artwork and lyrics

however, that being said,
one look from me is enough
to make him drop whatever he is doing
rushed to my side.
and placed his full attention all onto me.

because,
he loves me and will do whatever it takes
just to see a smile on my face.
he pretends to lose
so that I can win.
he goes along with all my silly games
though he draws the line at
my nonsense theories
(which could totally be true, think out of the box!)

to the world
he’s Harris Lim
but to me
he’s my boytoy
the guy I love a tad too much.
