...Some are like water,
Some are like the heat.
Some are melodies,
Some are the beat.
Sooner or later they'll all be gone;
Why don't they stay on?
It's hard to get without a cause;
I don't want to perish like a fading voice.
Youth is like diamonds in the sun;
And diamonds are forever.
So many adventures couldn't happened today,
So many songs that we forgot to play,
So many dreams swimming out in the blue...
Let them come true.

Forever young; I want to be forever young.

Do you really want to live forever?
--Youth Group. Forever Young.

Interesting question.

A photo update. What 2006 has brought me...

Dhil, Shin and I on Racial Harmony day. I LOVE the kitchen dept(: Cooler carrying, crapping and all...(x
Deepavali 2006!(: At Ash's place. It was nice. And we tried to act lian with the one, two, three, four poses(x
Our last campfire. Dhil and I walking to the kitchen again. The last time, ever...
4I 2006(: I LOVE 4I(: Graduation Day 2006. Best pic of our class, yet!
And of course, my beloved HOTs. At Grace's place on the 21st. One dinner I'll never forget, even though we didn't do anything much...

2006 brought so many events, so mnay people. And I thank God for them(: Four years in Ceadr wouldn't have been the same without them(x

IT'S CHRISTMAS!(x
Easily the most anticipated holiday of the year, really.
With presents, friends, family and TIME... Who wouldn't like it?
Unless of course, you're stuck at home with nothing much to do.
Somehow, I feel guilty; cos I've been thinking bout MYSELF and how I'm enjoying MY holiday, not bout what Christmas means.
Jesus was born; that's the most important thing(:
It's the most important now, and it was 2000 odd years ago too.
He saved us from eternal damnation, walks besides us and loves us unconditionally...

If that doesn't deserve to be celebrated, I don't know what does.

So, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE(: You're loved, waaaay beyond expectation... Regardless of who you are(:

2007 is in a WEEK! AHHH!
That's a scary thought, to say the least.
Moving to a new school, meeting new people... Finally being able to NOT be nun...
There are so many things to be done! People to meet, cards that have yet to be sent out, things to think about, issues to settle...
2006 has been wonderful(: It let me come full circle.
And now, I must end it properly, to lock the memories up for good.
So, if you ave unfinished business iwth me, please drop me a msg or sthg.
I'll try to settle it before 2007 begins.

But, if i don't, I'm sorry.
I'll try to make it up to you in the new year.
To good, old friends --It's not goodbye. I'm not letting go. So, please don't.

There are so many other things I want to say bout this year, about the future...
But I guess it's redundant now.
Everything I have to say is in the people I care for, in the people I love.
And, I guess, try as I might, I can never find the right words to justify just how good the Lord has been to me this year.

Living testimonies affect others the most deeply...
Now, I see why.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!(:

To you, who has been a constant in my life--
It's been what, 5 years, now? We've changed so much; but we're lucky to have changed together. It's not the same any more, I guess. No longer the innocent people looking to surpass each other (okay, it might be me.) in tuition, but the people who've been through life-changing painful and, for the lack of a better word, happy experiences. I'm glad we didn't let go, too. Can you imagine if we did? I can't, actually. Thank you for giving me time; time to grow and straighten myself out. I don't know why I'm doing this now, so spontaneously, but it's stuff you should know, if you didn't already(x You've got lots of things to tell me; TSK! The scandals on your blog, for a start ;) But it's always been like that huh? Nonsense, sense, doesn't matter any more. We talk; and that's what counts.

Remember what you promised me bout next year. Work hard for it. We both will.

To you, who I owe an explanation--
It's been done. False hope, lies, deceit; if you think those, after reading it, then I'm sorry. I can't help you any more. If you think not, I leave the rest to you. I might still do things you don't want me to, but I might. And for reasons I hope you understand. So, I really hope you do; I'm getting a bit frustrated with putting stuff in words.

Corrinne May. Everything in Its Time.
Sometimes i wonder what lies ahead
How long til my hunger is fed
They say it's hard to make it in this part of town
so many people on this merry-go-round

Some folks try astrology
Some turn to crystal balls
To find an answer
To get through it all
I just fall on my knees and i try to pray
In the silence i can hear Him say

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time

I often feel like that i'm two steps behind
Somebody must have moved that finish line
There are a thousand reasons
Why i should give up
But i'm stubborn in the things i believe

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to the patience and watch for the sign

'Cause maybe there's another plan
One i still cant see
A little surprise, like your love in your life
Funny how time changes how we see

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to the patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time

I love this song. Perhaps, this is what the Lord has been trying to tell me all this time. Don't know why, but there's a sudden... Disconnection. I hope things go back to normal soon. It's hard to beliebe everything's fine and normal when you constantly feel that there's something missing.

I was just thinking of a few people; how they've changed, the people I knew them as, the people they've become... It's fascinating how people affect other people. And how we move on, eventually, 'cos nothing can really hold us back; not forever at least. We're all moving on for good, soon; postings will be out this coming Thursday. I've always thought that I'd be elated that I'm FINALLY moving on, but now that we've come to it... I can't help but think that going back to Cedar next year would be the best thing ever.

It's probably the fear of the unknown, the fear of... Rejection. So many uncertainties in the coming year --so many new people to meet, so many new things to do. I wonder if I'll be able to do them all; I wonder if I'll regret doing anything, or NOT doing some of the things for that matter. But all these are so... Understood. Everyone feels the same things. Sometimes, I don't know why I blog the obvious.

I'm gonna miss everyone. The CACAT times, the sad times, the crazy times, the mundane times, the anxious times... In each of those times, I was with people. They made memories with me. I don't wanna forget them, and I don't have all the photos to commemorate every event... But prayfully, even 10 years down the road from now, I hope I remember how I felt. That's all that matters, at the end of the day.

The holidays are overrated.
After the prom buzz and everything else, everything sort of went... Stale.
PFFT. Haha, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone else feels the same way.
To think we were looking forward to the post-Os period OH SO eagerly...
OH WELL. Time to catch up on the things we missed (if anything at all).

Things to do:
1) Finish up CHRISTMAS CARDS. (It's kinda ironic that I'm DAMN BORED, yet can't find the will to finish anything. x_x)
2) Finish getting presents for everyone!(x (HEH. Fun part.)
3) READ MORE FANFICS.
4) Settle any... Delayed situations... Before 2006 ends. (TATA, YOU FREE?(x haha.)
5) MENTALLY PREPARE MYSELF FOR THE JC POSTING RESULTS NEXT WEEK. (x_x God knows best... God knoes best...)
6) OTHE RANDOM THINGS SUCH AS BLOGGING AND BOTHERING MY NEE AND MAKING SURE MY COUSINS WRECK OUR HOME. Of course; MAKING SURE I DON'T KILL THEM OUT OF ANNOYANCE. OH YES! And to READ THE BLEACH MANGA. :3 Haha. Think I'm obsessed(x

LAHDEEDAH. Leaders' chalet next week!
(I can't wait.) Though I might have to disappear to Johor for the day...
OH WELL. ALL IN THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT! (WASTE AWAY YOUR LIFE! YAY! JOY TO THE WORLD!)

I'm beginning to think too much time mightn't be THAT good for the soul;
too much time to think (of crazy stuff to do) bout stuff...
