transitions.
An image of someone waiting under the wings.
Blurry, yet brimming with certainty
The world is perfection, you seek to find
Love with unbridled innocence.
Your eyes are tainted, but holding on
Steadfastly to wishes and dreams.
Fairytales are like a magical lullaby,
Replaying like a broken musical box.
Breaking point it seems to be,
The picture gets clearer to the naked eye
Yet a jumble of emotions to the soul.
And standing alone, lost but still yearning.

the one guardian angel.
One month truly flies. There hasn't been a month that epitomises the word 'flies' more than this month. And then she's gone again. It's like these fun moments are just so fleeting, and the loss and dull ache that comes after seems to last for eternity. And I feel that one by one, my friends just leave for abroad, for different schools as we pass through different phases of life, and the dull ache and the sense of loss just heightens. To a point where you wonder if you've got anybody else you can trust, just that ONE person who you know will always be there for you - to laugh with you when reminisicing about the past, to curse the bloody Math or Chinese teacher with you when you've just failed a test which is obviously out of anyone's league, and to cry with you and really understand you when your emotional mood swings take a turn for the worse.
Sometimes, I feel like I'm all alone at the start of this dark, long passage I see ahead of me. Just praying, and wishing that someone would come along and save me.

life at it's best.
Life has been an endless blur of activity these days. Starting from the NTU freshmen orientation camp for my course, to two consecutive nights of pubbing and clubbing, to a day of fun at Wild Wild Wet, it's finally great to get a break, where I actually get to stay at home sitting at my desk for an hour.
LOL. The camp wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. At least, the activities were way cool - wakeboarding, banana boating, kayaking and rock climbing. I managed to stand up and cruise along for about five seconds during wakeboarding before I crashed into the water! Haha, the salt water in your nose is surely one of the nastiest things ever. But it was really fun, and I wanna do it again! Banana boating was super exciting too, cos they made us capsize only about three times in the short ten minutes we were out. And getting back on that yellow pencil-like thing is no easy feat. But while we were actually sailing along Raffles Marina, ayeee adrenaline rush! And rock climbing... I managed to climb right to the top, which is an accomplishment considering my fraidy cat attitude and my fear of heights. Haha, at OBS I was barely one quarter up. So I know I've really grown up now, although I was shaking all over and when I looked down, I wanted to die. Fright Night was another thing altogether, it was the scariest night of my life, and yes, I actually did cry.
So once I got back from camp, I launched into a celebratory mood of being released back into civilisation, so on Saturday night, after paintball (which is an exhilarating experience, I did actually shoot some people!), we (meaning the church people) went down to Forbidden City, and chatted and played the 'I have never' game, and it turned out to be a blast. Haha, many dirty little secrets were revealed, and it's just so funny laughing at certain people go all red in the face. Although they were lucky, cos it's dark and they could probably blame it on the alcohol. Sunday night the church people and I again went out, this time to Gotham Penthouse, which is a club, but what do you know - there wasn't a soul in sight and the bartender said he hadn't seen such a crowd since opening night (there were nine of us). But that meant once we got a bottle of Smirnoff, we got the VIP couches! That was way cool - so in between running to the dance floor whenever a good song came on (it was R & B night) we played 'I have never' again and more secrets came spilling out. My gosh, it's so weird finding out all these things about people, but well, that just made it more exciting. Had arm wrestling competitions in between as well, and ALL the guys managed to beat the girls with just two fingers. It makes the fairer sex a tad ashamed really. LOL.
Then the next morning, Bev, Shu and I went to Wild Wild Wet! The rides were all rather tame, especially compared to the ones in Taipei, and the only ride worth going was the 'Slide Up', which is a five-storey almost vertical drop down on a U-slope, meaning once you're down you go up once again the other way, and of course lose height the more times you go up and down. Gawwwd. I was so freaked out, I screamed my head off, Shu said the entire water park heard me. Even the crew at the water park were laughing at me, apparently. Haha. But it's seriously the scariest thing ever, BUT if you don't try it, you don't know what you're missing out on.
And here's a spoiler: Sitting forwards is scarier than sitting backwards. LOL.
