this life and the next.

the time has come to say goodbye to what has been a home away from home for the past three years. three good and trying years but three that imho was well spent. from the passing faces to the distant friendships, those i've said my final goodbyes to and others i promise to meet again. thank you for sharing this amazing experience.
...i am ready now...take me there.

graduation.

having collected the academic gown in preparation for the convocation tonight, i cant help but take stock of what it all means. most of my coursemates have already secure a job back home and this is the price i pay for not starting my job search straightaway i spose. ohwells, its a price i'd gladly pay but i may be speaking too early. when i touch home there will be so much to do and most important of all i have to secure a job, and a good one if possible of course! :)
the dread is there and i cannot lie, but when it has to be done one just has to try hard. often its not the job that effort that kills, but the fear that does. wish me luck! :P

"It's coming round again
The slowly creeping hand
Of time and its command
Soon enough it comes
and settles in its place
Its shadow in my face
Puts pressure in my day
.
This life well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
.
It's coming round again
The slowly creeping hand
Of time and its demands
It settles in its place
Its shadow in my face
Undignified and lame
.
This life well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
Control well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
.
Soon enough it comes
Soon enough it comes
To tie us down"

[tripdiary] the end.

ok tonight will be the last time i'll be spending 'alone' in awhile. am back once again in sydney and tomorrow morning i get to see my family as they fly in from singapore! till now i've not really found the time to sit down properly and write my diary (or what i'd like to call a diary :P). so both that and this blog have been pretty empty most of the time. (mental note: find time..) but i wont be finding any spare time soon i reckon. after a coupla days in syd we fly to tassie for abit before heading back to perth by the 15th. i think i will be home by oct. booo...
i dont want this to end, but time and again i get reminded that its all about the journey and not about the destination. and i have to say this has been a good journey, one full of new experiences and interesting people that i will miss and hopefully meet again in life. i've had my share of fun and abit for now, its almost time to take the next step...
anyyyways, i just came online to post some pics... so i better get going. :P
"travelling is great,
but even too much fun can be tiring.
so take a break if needed,
but dont forget to keep moving on."
