...

monday night that was a fucking lame excuse wasn't it? while i don't ask for recognition, it still hurts when people forget and then give lame excuses.

no i'm not petty over what it was about. i'm resentful over the notion and principle of the matter. but then again, it is my expectations of others - having high expectations - i really should be prepared for constant disappointment. in this case, i'm not surprised at all.

NSSA conference was good, am quite tired from it but i'm just glad to have gotten a lot of the nitty-gritty details out of the way. it's something i've worked hard to establish, something that has cost me a lot of personal sacrifice yet i feel that there's an urgent need for it which has led me to pressing on.

it's been a long time, 8 months and counting but come december i'll be handing over to a new president. i can only pray and hope that whoever he/she may be continues to build upon what ian and myself have built thus far.

and lastly, you who have been hospitalized. please please please take care. drink heaps of water and rest well. hope to see you soon enough.

home.

Whenever I am feeling low
I look around me and I know
There's a place that will stay within me
Wherever I may choose to go
I will always recall the city
Know every street and shore
Sail down the river which brings us life
Winding through my Singapore

Chorus:
This is Home, truly
Where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me
Where that river always flows
This is home, surely
As my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone
For this is where I know it's home

When there are troubles to go through
We'll find a way to start anew
There is comfort in the knowledge
That homes about its people too
So we'll build our dreams together
Just like we've done before
Just like the river which brings us life
There'll always be Singapore

Chorus:
This is Home, truly
Where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me
Where that river always flows
This is home, surely
As my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone
For this is where I know it's home

Chorus Repeat

This is Home, truly
Where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me
Where that river always flows
This is home, surely
As my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone
For this is where I know it's home
(For this is where I know, I'm HOME)
