"A candle against the heavens...."New school. New friends. I guess its time for a new blog.
I guess I've been thru alot these past few weeks. Not like the months before were any different. All I can be sure of thru all that've happened and the maelstrom of changes it brought is that im happy.
We live in an age where happiness doesn't come cheap. And so I have learnt... (luv my baby laptop ^^)
And so i'd like to thank the many hands that've made this smile possible...
Thank you Jinx, Rahz, Muhyi, Ahmad, Mom and Khai... U guys are truly my family. I know we've had rough times in the past but the lil things u do with me and for me have really brought me lots of happy memories. And i wish for nothing more than happy memories ahead.
And also...
Thank you my new friends in Temasek Poly, be it in the Olympiads, 1E01, Merope or the rest of TPSU. Especially goin out to Choo Wang, Dion, Farah,and Begum. I've made few good friends in my transition into TP. But i cant ask for better companions than u guys. TP OEI!!!!
To top it all off, I'd like to dedicate this to u guys. Inspired by one beautiful starry night sleeping atop my roof in Bandung. Enjoy...
"I write of beauty knowing that words do such magnificence no justice. I write of beauty as only my eyes can tell, to a degree no other can behold.
Alone I lay before what an infinity of words would fail to describe. Fears that plague my mind of heights ventured to reach it cease to exist as the sight before me, though of soothing elegance, burned itself through my eyes. Clearing my mind and calming my unsettled heart. It was as though my whole body was partaking in the sheer bliss my eyes perceived. It was not just a view, a spectacle. It was an experience.
As I took it in, meticulously internalizing. It soon became more than just a part of me, it swallowed my entire existence altogether. Atop the roof, city lights around me, the world beneath me, breeze brushing my face, even the discomfort of the clay tiles I wedged my back upon… It all just disappeared. It was just me and the stars. As though nothing else was worthy enough to even grace the essence of my body and soul in its presence. In its embrace so warm though heat cannot be found, so close though meaningless to count the miles from which they seem to look back at me. I was liberated. Existing only as an existence to its influence. Freed from the confines, gravity and pain that bore me in this world.
But alas, to truly appreciate such beauty is to understand that its glory is but fleeting. A moment so precious immortalizing it would suit no meaning, no purpose but to deprive it of the value it held. Each twinkle and glow almost deliberately placed by god at that precise moment to produce something extraordinary for his unworthy servant’s awe."
U guys are the stars in my sky. See ya around... ^^
"A candle against the heavens... U keep me burning"
