and it was two years that past by, with the end of alevels.
post-alevel life has been quite eventful thus far (: went shopping with cy, winnie and elin after bio on thurs! bought qt abit of stuff tht i need eg clothes for work and prom heels! and dogwalkiing at spca on fri morning, plus meeting up with yuwei in the afternoon, and then vivocity with ts in the evening. next sat was class gathering at glen's hse!
and with the 2 years, the classmates we've come to know are going apart, to pursue our own paths. do we really know each other? time's too short to really bond. it feels like we've just gotten to know each other and now we're going apart.
such a transient phase. so fleeting.

Beautiful dawn - lights up the shore for me.
There is nothing else in the world,
I'd rather wake up and see (with you).
Beautiful dawn - I'm just chasing time again.
Thought I would die a lonely man, in endless night.
But now I'm high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.
Beautiful dawn - melt with the stars again.
Do you remember the day when my journey began?
Will you remember the end (of time)?
Beautiful dawn - You're just blowing my mind again.
Thought I was born to endless night, until you shine.
High; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.
Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older?
Promise me tomorrow starts with you,
Getting high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me

a song with my name! hahas.
--------
and after phy paper 3 i was not very happy cos of the paper. and i felt an urge to cut my hair! so i took a bus to chong pang. the marketplace, tho not as comfortable as the shopping centre, has qt alot of hidden good stuff.
without aircon, and with the imminent downpour looming, i would have to be out of my mind trudging my feet in a marketplace in search of a hair salon. the air felt humid with the smell or rain. and lo and behold, there it was. hair salon.
the neighbourhood "auntie style" ( usual mistaking me for a sec sch kid cos i was wearing uniform ) with the not-as-comfy interior. yet the hair cut was good, rather fast but not too fast such as to allow time to cut carefully. gives you a peace of mind knowing that your hair is not cut under a 10-min constraint, and that it is nicely cut. and its a neighbourhood price too.
sure, it was a mad rush for my umbrella as the first drops hit my head. yet, it was good, my head felt light, and trust me, this is as good ( if not better and more value for money ) than that j8 EC house.
so, anyone game for a trip to neighbourhood market shops? hahas

Long and boring summer ahead says:
and i hate to sound bitchy, but she doesn't write very well
Long and boring summer ahead says:
it looks as if she flipped the thesaurus more than a couple of times
Long and boring summer ahead says:
oh well it is good, definitely. grammar? check. syntax? check. vocab? check. but because her tone is so arrogant and there is no compassion in her writing it sounds hollow
---------
take that weeshumin!
(that didnt come from me)
on the other hand, i think she's very poor thing to be subjected to stuff like having not-so-glamorous pics of her wearing bikini splashed online. this is getting out of hand.
---------
was talking to alicia. havent seen her for so long since she went aust after olevels! rmb taking photo with her during atempo last yr when she came back! and then, nv heard frm her until now.
after alevels must make it a point to catch up with old friends!
perhaps its the notion that when school ends, people go their separate ways. but that dosent mean that friendships have to end just like that. paused, suspended perhaps. end, not really.
there are people that ive shared so much more although i hardly see them. on the other hand, there are those whom i see everyday, yet when i look back, i could count the number of conversations we've shared with the fingers of my hands.
maybe come next year, when we all go to various parts of the world ( actually mainly us and uk or sg ) we'll rmb to keep in touch to those that matter to us.

the tranquility of night. the darkness, that envelops the world.
isnt it peaceful? studying at night can be rather productive with no one to disturb you. on the other hand, the loneliness sits in a corner, threatening to engulf any unsuspecting poor soul. the blessedness of peace comes with a price.
then again, nothing is free in this world.
was hoping that someone will be there to accompany me throughout the night, or at least let me know that they're mugging too, or juz seeing ppl online.
then again, its time i learn not to be distracted.
---------
to focus, to push, to work. the pressure to perform.
elitism does has its place in society. after all, if there isnt, why will people work so hard? if only to achieve something. not that im saying its good or bad. just an inevitable product of meritocracy. people all want the glory, the prestige, of being an elite. that's why its time to differentiate those who actually work for it. the catch: people dont start from an equal ground. so the basis for comparison is slanted in a certain sense.
and so we are all made to be ranked under the bell curve. isnt that what numerous exams are for?
---------
when we're young, there always seem to be a "best friend" and/or a group of friends you play with during recess and after school. As time progresses, "best friends" and "friends forever" became degenerate. just what do these mean, when trust is becoming such a rare commodity. where it is placed in a fragile container, so raw and real, finding a place for its safekeeping. where is safe. its hard to tell.
and with each crack, the container hardens, until trust is hidden deep inside.
by logical deduction, since trust is a basis for human relationships, then does that mean that the older we are, the more lonely we are.
( hopefully not )
--------
just some thoughts on a quiet night(morning) few hours before alevel maths p2. no point studying, since i got no mood to do so.
---------
stars are beautiful--when the whole world seems to be ignoring you, they'll twinkle and blink at you innocently without fail.
(i cant see any stars in the sky now)

a song with nice lyrics. --Borrowed Angels--
They shine a little brighter, they feel a little more
They touch your life in ways no one has ever done before
They love a little stronger, they live to give their best
They make our lives so bless, so why do they go so soon?
The ones with souls so beautiful I heard someone say--
There must be Borrowed Angels, here in this life
They come along, into this world, and make this world bright
But they can't stay forever
Cause they're heaven sent
And sometimes, heaven needs them back again
They reach a little deeper, they see what's in your soul
And even when they leave you know, you'll never let them go
The world's a little richer, just cause they came along
Their love goes on and on, so why do they go so soon?
The ones with souls so beautiful. I heard someone say--
There must be Borrowed Angels, here in this life
They come along, into this world, and make this world bright
They can't stay forever, cause they're heaven sent
And sometimes, heaven needs them back again
How else can you explain why they're here and not here to stay?
I believe there must be, must be
Borrowed Angels, here in this life
They come along, into this world, and make this world bright
But they can't stay forever, cause there heaven sent
And sometimes heaven needs them back again.
And sometimes heaven needs them back again.
---------
very nice lyrics. reflective oh my stand regarding guardian angels.
and here's another song with my name in it (:
http://www.virgin.net/music/musicvideos/jamesblunt_high_hi.html
---------
it has been a long 2 days simply bcos of papers one after another. and why do they have to be long tiring tedious papers? not that papers were difficult but, its just mentally tiring.
---------
and i decided to start a new blog! with a cheery blog add. to mark the end of my rj life. and all the haitus and that. the angsts and that phase of my life. which was rather difficult at times, and definitely not smooth sailing.
the medicine, however potent, is good for me. sweet at times, bitter at times. a periodic serving, whereby dosage cannot be missed for full effect.
---------
there are so many endless possibilities in life.
and with that, its time i count my blessings. with people ard me who care for me, and with opportunities brimming, why am i complaining.
