LetYourLoveBeStrong



Okay. Story of today is, I left Bedok after CG thinking that I'll be late in getting to school. 'cept that I miscalculated and was there about an hour early. So I'm at home now...

Just as well though. I get to finish the drawings for Alan... And then probably turn up in school late anyway.

Okay. Finished it.

I'll upload the final artwork one day. the ones I just finished were drafts; the costume will probably change along the way. One day.

I was listening to blink 182 the other day.


Yeah, this is so much easier...

I never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over we'd survived
I couldn't wait till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone


It made me think about the past, and how we all look back and think about the "good old days" and lose ourselves in reminisce (or horror, as is the case sometimes). Maybe things were better, so long ago (for some of us, sixteen was really very long ago).

Hey, stop dreaming.

Yesterday died (just like Captain America. Darn it!). I think to a certain extent, all of us would look back and think: things were so good back then. But when we were "back then", we still had our troubles, didn't we? It's just that when we look back now, we tend to filter out the bad parts. I'm sure that when I'm 25, I'll think back to right now and be all "I wish things were like the way they were back then".

Sure, We all miss Jurong West. I miss the street soccer, the basketball, the million and one kids (from Amber's cell group). I miss Aaron, I miss Adam, heck, I miss the days when I just went to church and used to stay over at the Low's house every sat. I miss eating lunch with Edmund Tay, with E316. I miss all that. and more. and I think we all do.

I had an image in my mind for the past few days. it's of a guy walking in a sandstorm, and the more he walks, the more pieces of him flake away to reveal that he's only a little boy.

And, as i predicted, i am already late. oh well. I can't train anyways. just going there to use my authority as president to make decisions for my club that will impact the lives of about 35 people (whew, stressed). Maybe later. so that i won't have to be there for too long. haha!
