back to reality

some people's like this holiday, they come and go.

uni's like that
its hard to compromise
what will work, will work.
and i am glad i am going through this semester with my close friends

while we let others think whatever they want.

no, i don't want to look back

I don't want to look back because i am contented with my present state

meetup with my dear jc friends never fails to make me feel contented
and the fact that everyone of us is coping well in school, in life just makes it better
who says the purple region ppl will stay thr?
congrats to all of us and may we stay as close as this no matter how far apart we are.

was browsing thru my older posts and i realise how easily agitated, how show-off, how insensitive i was last time
but i am proud to claim that almost everything has changed now
(except the fact that i am a little unrealistic sometimes)
and no, i wouldnt delete those embarrassing posts because they will serve as a good reminder to me

i will throw the time machine in the basement even if u give it to me...

Forever and Always.

there are times where you didnt like a new song the first time you hear it but coincidentally, u kept hearing it being played and u slowly fell in love with it.

and one of these songs is 'Forever and Always' by Parachute
i have never been a fan of romantic songs but this song just got me liking them
the music is smoothing, the singing is not too gay nor too hoarse and the overall is just sweet
moreover, the lyrics being factual just make the song even more perfect.

She's sitting at the table, the hours get later
He was supposed to be here,
She's sure he would have called
She waits a little longer, there's no one in the driveway
No one's said they've seen him
Why, is something wrong?
She looks back to the window
Suddenly the phone rings
A voice says something's happened
That she should come right now
Her mind goes to December
She thinks of when he asked her
He bent down on his knees first
And he said,

I want you forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together
Forever and always

She pulls up to the entrance
She walks right to the front desk
They lead her down a million halls, a maze that's never ending
They talk about what happened but she can barely hear them
She tries to keep a straight face as she walks into the room
She sits by his bedside, holds his hand too tight
They talk about the kids they're gonna have and the good life
The house on the hillside, where they would stay

Stay there forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together, and always remember
Whether rich or for poor or for better
We'll still love each other, forever and always

Then she gets an idea and calls in the nurses
Brings up the chaplain and he says a couple verses
She borrows some rings from the couple next door
Everybody's laughing as the tears fall on the floor
She looks into his eyes, and she says,

I want you forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together, and always remember
Whether happy or sad or whatever
We'll still love each other, forever and always
Forever and always, forever and always
She finishes the vows but the beeps are getting too slow
His voice is almost too low
As he says, I love you forever, forever and always
Please just remember even if I'm not there
I'll always love you, forever and always

Nice.

back, for a while

back here with a post not because i wanted to but because i have nth to do while waiting for my 11pm match

many things have changed, and people come and go since the last time i posted on this random blog
but i think i have changed for the better

school's not worth talking about especially since the environment's really stressful and some of the people are by default selfish
i admit i am selfish too but at least i am responsible
well, being responsible makes a big difference cause it translates to a fact that people dun have to clear the mess u leave behind; u clear it up first before you go.
on a brighter note, i did well for my exams and i have to admit, good results only come with hardwork. ._. (maybe with a little bit of luck too)

friends, on the other hand, is a more interesting topic
over the past 1 month of holidays, i am grateful to my dear close friends for bringing me surprise, fun, laughter and joy and to prevent me from rotting at home
though its always the same few close friends but things nvr get dull because we enjoy having each other's company
even to the extent that doing something boring would become interesting (no solid example but thats how i look at it)
thats true friends right?
people who will tell u u are ugly when u look like shit
or simply put, people who dun take ur friendship for granted.

and looking on the bright side, i am finally 21!
*pops champagne!
then after a while, so that's it?
haha, another overrated milestone in our life
not to forget, thank you to my family and friends for the memorable day (coupled with some not-very-memorable stuff...)

i always hear people saying,'Travelling calms your soul, opens you up to the world.'
and after my Indo/Bandung/Bali trip, i carn agree more
though the trip was with my newly met uni friends, but throughout the trip, i felt really satisfied and have never regretted spending the long 7 days (not enough) with them

the mountains thr was nth i could have imagined if i stayed in SG
the traffic thr made me treasure SG's
the restaurant food thr made SG's look like a shame
the activities we had thr made SG's look so boring, even sleeping (and hoping to dream about that place) was more interesting
the companion thr was really enjoyable
the accomodation thr was eye-opening
in all, it was more of a 'blast', yes, just like the 'Bali Blast'.

and now it have all ended, i hope we can still hang around together more often and embark on more trips because it was like one of the few roller-coaster rides that i have really enjoyed.

***

that explains the change in background to something related to travelling
well, i have never really felt the impact of travelling until this Bali trip and it hit me hard
travelling really calms me down and gave me lots of fun and yet at the same time, allowed me to reflect on my own life
yes, the opportunity was much appreciated especially since the new year is here. :)

Last, for the new year,
i have made some promises to myself
things where i have previously tell myself numerous times not to do/commit again and yet i still do/commit, this time round, i promise i wouldnt do them again
and aspirations that i should start to work towards, i will.
(such as opening my own cosy shop and chilling in it everyday, ok yes its not realistic)

yes, we are all grown up, and its time to live our lives as adults.
(and also start planning for more overseas trips. :D)
