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.

Hope everyone had a good time during the short 3 days break. We could do with some recharging for the long days ahead. Had a CNY reunion gathering with my course mates from intake 1 yesterday. A nice way to keep in touch now that many of us do not see each other in class. I am glad many people have made the effort to go for the gathering. Some of them are absent from the pictures because we snapped them toward the end haha. We had a bbq at my friend’s place, no doubt the easiest thing to organize and get food to feed many hungry people. We also held our inaugural blackjack session,was lotsa fun! Might just become a tradition in our gatherings from now on. Oh hmmm and it could be taken as an indicator that my luck this year doesn’t seem too bad at all! ;)
Besides meeting friends, CNY is the time when we meet family members whom we’ve not seen for ages. Visiting is more or less a routine for us during this festive period, something we used to find very fun when we were young but less so these days. Nonetheless,I thought it is a good chance to observe how certain things around us have quietly changed in the course of time. Seeing elders who appear to have more graying hair and wrinkles each year; seeing youngsters who have grown a little taller, a little more rebellious each time. They are the people who have watched you grow up and they are the people whom you have watched grow up. The intricacies of life are often complex in its human relationships. Over the years,we sometimes forget the need to upkeep ties. Maybe we need to do more,to go beyond the annual CNY affair.
