We were strangers, starting out on a journey
Never dreaming, what we’d have to go through
Now here we are, I’m suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope, you were there to remind me
This is the start

And life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I’ll be there when the world stops turning
I’ll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

We were strangers on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming, how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

And life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I’ll be there when the world stops turning
I’ll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Knew there was somebody, somewhere
A new love in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I’ve been waiting so long
Nothing’s gonna tear us apart

And life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I’ll be there when the world stops turning
I’ll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Yeah

Life is a road that I wanna keep going on
Love is a river, I wanna keep going

Starting out on a journey

Life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

it's the holidays once again! YAYY. not that it's gonna be a fun-filled one. despite much hardcore mugging, it'll definitely be more relaxed than normal school days. aye still remember a year back, we were preparing for our perth trip! man the perth experience was indeed memorable.

i wonder how's sarah doing now? you know, she told me that she wanted to stay on in band (despite all the hardships she will have to go through) because of one word, committment. that's why she refused to quit band and join other ccas. well, i'm sure her passion for band will come naturally as long as she is deeply committed to the band. i really respect her alot and i hope she'll find her worth and the sense of belonging in sajc band soon. GO SARAH. enjoy your NZ trip and don't worry too much k? (:

anyway, sculpture square cip on sat was funnnn. saw mr lim! who was the artist for one of the stations. haha so cool. poon was at the puppet-making station while i'm at the face-painting station. (more like hand-painting HAHA) mine was quite fun, got to paint stuff on kids' (and their mums') hands/faces. it required alot of creative energy okay. got so tired after everything. all those flowers, butterflies, dinosaurs, stars really sapped so much energy out of me.

and i was super scared that they asked me to paint something challenging la! one girl wanted a crocodile. so i went OH NOOO! yeah, but managed to paint an ugly one. someone even wanted batman and spiderman! so i was like, "er spiderweb can or not?" hahaha. my station partner yingtong was really pro! glad to have known her better. (:

thanks for staying with me and making me feel better when i felt so nauseous during the bus ride home. thanks to you, i made it home without puking! gosh and your glove puppet is so sweet! thanks for keeping my spirits high despite me being so attitude and unreasonable before that. btw the spiderweb you painted for the boy was really good okay! you have hidden artistic talent! hehh.

aep gathering tmr! haha i'm quite excited. even though the turnout isn't gonna be very good. but better than nothing. can go back and visit our dearest artrooms! and mr lim still wants us to psycho the sec4s to do their coursework. hehh. can't wait!

can't wait for island creamery! (: we gotta take those photos this time.

my dear m&m's are finishing!! ahhh so sad. gotta refill the bottle soon so that i'll be armed with plenty of goodies for the mug-hard june holidays.

YEAH WE GOTTA MUG-BARREL-TANK-WHATEVER HARD DURING THE HOLIDAYS.

i miss playing in band. my time in band is so short! i miss playing my instrument. tried playing the sop sax outside the bandroom last friday after the meeting. got carried away and before i knew it, it was already 7plus. i miss my selmer alto! =(

you know, how i wish there's this christian concert band to join. thought of this yesterday during the hymn festival at VCH last night. i'd most willingly and gladly join the band. i really want to play my instrument for the Lord and glorify His name.

oh well.

cip on sat was a great experience! we went around HDB flats to collect newpapers and old clothes. met different kinds of people and saw different kinds of apartments. it WAS cool. and seeing those huge piles of stuff we collected, gave me a HUGE sense of satisfaction. there were so much that the lorry door got stuck!

thanks my dear for making cip so interesting. haha it was fun! you should know why eh? sculpture square this week!

don't you just love the notebook?

listening to our syf 2007 recording. i couldn't bear to listen to fig 25 where i made a stupid technical error. yeah it was me who squeaked. in the middle of emo part somemore. when i played i didn't think so much you know, but when i listen to the recording, i realise that it was actually damn obvious. and the audience obviously heard it. i feel so guilty.

ohwell. at least i know that fig 16 was the best i have ever played and i tried my best for fig 27 despite the last minute arrangement, which was only confirmed on the syf day itself. it was so last minute and i was super nervous. haha still remember in the tuning room i was confirming with gabriel, "so fig 27 i play the whole thing right?" i think. WHAT A CRAZY RISK.

yeah i guess syf 2007 has always been one crazy ride of my life. sorry for the squeak! =(

anyway, that's one major hurdle crossed. one down, one more to go. which is our dear nincompoop-ish A'levels, forever smiling upon us like a fatherly father who secretly plots to kill his child.

BIO SPA IS OVER. yeah man! i agree with samo, it was indeed a huge load off our minds.

speaking of samo, today outside staffroom i was studying for my bio test and this bunch of guys were making such a huge racket. they were supposedly having some rock-climbing meeting and samo was there as well. but she didn't contribute to the noise. they were so noisy and distracting that poon ssshhh-ed them. everyone turned. i saw one guy going tsk tsk tsk at us and for some reason I WAS SUPER ANNOYED BY THAT LOOK ON HIS FACE. so, out of sheer bad temper, i ssshhh-ed even more loudly while looking at him. i was so angry.

and they were happily talking (so loudly) about taupok and stuff la! what does it have to do with rock-climbing man.. unless they're intending to plan some vertical rock-taupok challenge. now i really understand how samo feels during meetings. go samo! i'm on your side. some guys just don't grow up. i wonder whether growth hormones go to the brain or not.

and i call myself a grumpy j2. cos i always get super annoyed by the noisy groups of people in the library, who are usually j1s. no offense, but it's true. gone were the 2006 days when the library was such a conducive place to study. when i first came to sa, i was quite surprised by how quiet the library usually was, even when almost filled. now ah.. sigh. hello! at least bother to whisper can! if you all love to talk so much and abandon your poor notes on the table collecting all your saliva, please do us poor souls a favour, go to the cafe and (as abbas would say) PISS OFF.

i'm just feeling bitchy right now. must complain here. or else you want me to write this on the wall of feedback meh? heh heh.

mood: BITCHY.

it's all over.

up till today, i'm still lost for words. just wanna say, GREAT JOB SAJC BAND! (: our band definitely deserved GOLD WITH HONOURS, although i don't think i'm a player who is worthy of that title. at least not for now.

you know, it was the first time in my life i ever cried in such joy and jubilation. i always cry when i'm sad or down. i don't know why i did that, but i guess my emotions got the better of me. i guess happiness and relief were brought to the extreme point along with all the built-up stress and fatigue. the tears just came naturally.

right now, i no longer feel the crazy sensation of success, instead, it is replaced by a sense of contentment that has settled deeply in my heart. my first syf okay. (not my first concert) my one and only. and what a glorious experience that i will never forget even when i'm old. and i'm serious!

i'm gonna miss playing rhapsody! the effort we have made since 8 months ago till just the day before syf was really too much to describe. it is true that you will reap what you have sowed.

eunice, we did it!! without you, i'd never have joined band. i read my archives. exactly one year back (13/05/06), we had our very first full band prac! aren't you so immensely proud of us? i am!! (:

and of course, my dear poon! i don't know how i could have made it through without your love, support, and listening ear. haha. not bad leh. you have endured all my whines and complaints. my band journey would not have been complete without you. (:

although this probably marks a memorable end to my sajc band journey, but i definitely do not want to bring my band journey to an end. i still want to become better friends with this wonderful instrument i have picked up. alumni?? hehh.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY! couldn't have done it without His blessings and His hand behind the band. really gotta thank God i fell sick on wed and not on the syf day itself. i couldn't go for the SCH rehearsal and was quite worried i'll still be down on fri. but THANK GOD i recovered by thurs. well, almost. haha. thanks to my sorethroat, my cough (thanks to gabriel haha), the excessive screaming on fri and our very cool scream therapy, i have officially lost my voice. but it's okay. i'll learn to talk less. hopefully. (:

gonna miss band like truckloads now.
