some dreams live on in time forever
those dreams,you want with all your heart
and i will do whatever it takes
follow through with the promise i made
put it all on the line
what i hoped for at last would be mine
if i could reach,higher
just for one moment touch the sky
from that one moment in my life
i am gonna be stronger
know that i have tried my very best
i would put my spirit to the test
if i could reach
some days are meant to be remembered
those days we rise above the stars
so i will go the distance this time
seeing more the higher i climb
that the more i believe
all the more that this dream would be mine

Seldom,very seldom does complete truth belong to any human disclosure; seldom can it happen that something is not a little disguised,or a little mistaken.

Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself.

Registered for my course candidature today. So I’m back to being a full-time matriculated student again!
Realised that the people around me at the registration hall today were mainly 1) international students with passports of various colors; 2) people who somehow look like they came from a different generation before my own.
So it hit me then that after graduating only two days ago, I’m about to begin a whole new journey. It’s all happening really fast. And it's exciting but yet unnerving at the same time. Somehow,there’s a little of something old and a little of something new in this experience.
That’s because while I get to learn new things and meet new people, I still get to enjoy some old comforts that I’ve gotten used to after four years. Such as walking along familiar grounds in Ntu, eating at selected preferred stalls in the canteen, and even breathing in the chocolatey air near Boon Lay Mrt. These familiarities may seem insignificant at first but when you know not a single soul around you, these details suddenly seem to be magnified, as though put under a microscope. They calm you down and let you know that all’s under control. Such is the impact of the environment I guess. I must say I’m thankful for them.
Another unexpected news is that there is an orientation to attend next weekend. Resulted in having to postpone the BKK trip with the gals that we’ve been planning. Feeling really bad about it,especially when it’s supposed to be part of Wendy’s birthday celebrations. And it’s going to be hard to make such plans in the months ahead cuz of my packed timetable. So sorry about it girl. Honestly, I would rather spend time with you than at the orientation. Let me know how I can make it up to you. Lets plan some other fun activities okay? :)
