It's over (:

2010 comes to an end. O levels are over and it all seems so strange. To look back and say that it's all over. I've waited for this day to come since before mid-years in may, and now that it's finally here, i cant help but feel accomplished. No matter what happens, it's over, and i did my best. Yesterday at the class chalet cum BBQ, i was walking and thinking about the events that have passed this year. Memories came flooding in, emotions long come and gone, thoughts and feelings about the various events. It's amazing really- how in little moments of silence in the dark, the year flashes past your eyes. It was like a chronological movie (:

The year started with --> self-awareness camp --> fantasia --> sydney--> prelims-->o-levels :) which leads us to right now. so many things happened over and between.

For 4 years, band has played an important part in my life. I'm glad that though there were hiccups and misunderstandings, quarrels and tears, there was also understanding and smiles, love and acceptance. Friends were made, bonds were forged. At the end of all things, i can say happily with a smile on my face, I love IJ clarinets 2007,2008,2009,2010 :D seniors, juniors, batch mates all the same (: the journey was the reward.

3/2 and 4/2 :) i think i've grown a lot being in this class. A really interesting experience. In the beginning i told myself that if i could turn back time, i would never have chosen to come here. But in the end, as usual, everything happens for a reason and what cant kill one can only serve to make one stronger. Through the experience, i would say that i've been given opportunities and have met people. These were people killed my self confidence, and the very people who boosted it right up again.

And so, as the exams are over, the day i've been waiting for for forever has finally arrived. Why do i have this empty feeling inside? Maybe its like how when the party comes to an end, this hollow filling fills you. It's like what you've got what you wanted and there's nothing left to look forward to. When the day is over and you look back, You look at the people you care about, the same people whom you never mattered to. Individuals you love and admire, the very same individuals whom you know loves your best friend and not you. When the sun sets and a day comes to an end, all we can do is hope for the best, and celebrate the blessings that have come our way :)

Flying Without Wings (westlife)

[Shane:]Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You'll find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be

Some find it in the face of their children
Some find it in their lover's eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

[Mark:]Some find it sharing every morning
Some in their solitary lives
You'll find it in the words of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry

You'll find it in the deepest friendship
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much that means
You've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

So, impossible as they may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
Cos who's to know which one you let go
Would have made you complete

[Shane:]Well, for me it's waking up beside you
To watch the sunrise on your face
To know that I can say I love you
In any given time or place

[Mark:]It's little things that only I know
Those are the things that make you mine
And it's like flying without wings

Cos you're my special thing
I'm flying without wings

[Shane:]And you're the place my life begins
And you'll be where it ends

[Mark:]I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring
I'm flying without wings
