of the time of my life



" Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.

So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.
It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredicatable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf
of good health and good time.

Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredicatable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life. ... "

i attended my very very last lecture
(Environmental Studies)
exams are in april
dinner and dance is in may
convocation is in july
but today, it really was the last goodbye
for me at least...

jus like how me and shuhui was discussin it over coffee at holland v after the lec
never again, shall group 5 sit together in one SR room for tutorial
never again, shall RE4 sit in one LT for lecture
most would think "oh, ok.. wateva.."
some would think "good riddance"
i think "wow... "
so this is really it huh..
the end of yet another chapter of my life story,
jus as my next is beginning,
i've gotta pack my bags and my notes, prepare my CV, order my convocation gown, and take stock of the past 4 years of my life

in these 4 years, i did a whole buncha stuff i've always wanted to do in life but neva got around to it, i fell in love, i fell outta love, i mugged in the IRC for exams, i saw 4 year's worth ABRE rag dances, i learnt the subtle difference between merely receiving an education and actually being educated, i forged human relationships which i hope i will carry through to the next chapter of ma life, and tha chapters after that..

of the premonition



" Well, I'm a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
Cause they always start to cry
Cause this time could mean goodbye... "

~ Lately
Stevie Wonder

you know how sometimes you just know
u dunno exactly who or what or when or how
but you just know
and sometimes, because we think we know
we fall victim to the self-fulfilling prophercy
and it does happen
simply because we WILL it enough
cos we think we know
when that happens
really
it's not you
it's me
jus so me...

of the holdin on



" but we all bleed the same way as you do
and we all have the same things to go through

hold on if you feel like letting go
hold on it gets better than you know
don't stop looking, your one step closer
don't stop searching it's not over
hold on... "

~ Hold On
Good Charlotte

make no mistake
we all do
bleed the same way as u do
have the same things to go through
do not for a moment there think u are the only one
subjected to all this shit
yes, some have it easier
but we all get there
eventually
so hold on
you hear?

of the royalty



her name's elizabeth

of the hope



" Invitation to the last dance
and then it's time to leave
But that's the price we pay
when we deceive
One another
Animal mother
She opens up for free
Everybody's got a hold on hope
It's the last thing that's
holding me... "

~ Hold On Hope
Guided By Voices

when life kicks u in tha balls
and anything that can go wrong
does go wrong
with despair
and gloom
and helplessness
these times we need to hope
sometimes that's all we need
to put faith in a higher power
and believe
it's that simple really

of the other side



" Turn me on
take me for a hard ride
Burn me out
leave me on the otherside
I yell and tell it that
It's not my friend
I tear it down
I tear it down
And then it¡¦s born again ... "

~ Other Side
Red Hot Chili Peppers


to the faithful departed
to those in a hopefully better place
and to those left behind
i'll see u guys
on the otherside

of the perfect



" I know we're just like old friends
We just can't pretend
That lovers make amends
We are reasons,
so unreal
We can't help but feel,
that something has been lost

So please,
you always were so free
You'll see,
I promise we'll be
Perfect
Perfect strangers when we meet
Strangers on the street
Lovers while we sleep... "

~ Perfect
The Smashing Pumpkins


of all the loves we lost
that even with moving on
and being happy again
you leave a piece of your heart behind

of all the loves we once loved
and all the loves we once lost

and a piece of the other person
always stays with us
always
in mind
or in ink
and there it shalt stay
perfect
oh so perfect
