The places I would love to see

If only life were as beautiful
As the fjords of Norway
Or snowy fields of Alaska
I would live each and every day
With zest and hopefulness

If only life were as relaxing
As a stroll in the streets of Italy
Or a walk in the beach of Phuket
I would be blessed and happy
And live my life without regret

If only life were as free
As running on the grassy field in Switzerland
Or a swim in the great Pacific Ocean
There would never be any day
I would live in sadness

If only life were as vibrant
As walking on the streets of France
Or Japan's summer festival dance
Life would never be dull, never be colourless
For its colours would come alive

If only life were as tranquil
As the sunset in Kuta, Bali
Or a walk in Russia's green fields
Life would be a blissful place to live
Where I will always get a sense of peace

If only life were as amazing
As the places I would love to see
I would always live each day of my life
As the most beautiful day of my life

Selfish?

Maybe I've changed.
Maybe I've not
I may be someone else now
Not the old me anymore

Maybe I just evolved
With "me" still within me
Why? And how?
I am confused, baffled

Is it wrong?
Is it normal
Am I thinking too much?
Or it's the truth that's true.

Maybe I've changed
Maybe they have changed
I am not them,
They are not me

What else could I be?
I am me, am I?

The future

Life is like a chess game. If you are worried of your next move, then the game will not move on.

I thought of this today after I had a wonderful talk with one of my lecturer and some of my classmates. We were talking about careers. The future, the opportunities, the options and more. It was really interesting. Sometimes it makes me wonder that oh, there are more options in the future that I can have.

Do I really have that much options?

And come to think of it, when I finish my education in poly, where will I go? University? Or will I go to work? Or will I go back to my hometown?

No one knows the answer, not even me. I don't know what will happen, what may happen and how. All I know is that ultimately, I am trying to do something I passionately love. Be it music, science, cooking, photography.

Something is missing isn't it?

Sometimes I wonder what will happen in the future. What will I do, and will I enjoy it. Come to think of it, my journey that leads myself to where I am now is quite amazing. I am a Biomed student now. All I ever thought was going to JC after secondary school. And there goes DPA, and here I am taking a diploma in Biomedical Science.

Life can be unpredictable sometimes. It may be useless to predict or hope of what's going to happen. I didn't expect myself to land in poly. It feels weird. But no, I will not regret my choice. This is a decision that I made myself. And I knew in my heart that this is what I want. Even though there are times where I simply ponder, why did I go to DBS?

Why didn't I go to DMAT for example. I love music and that's the course for me. Or perhaps I should go to food science. Because I love cooking. And so why did I choose DBS? Because not only I love science, I aspire one day to be a doctor that saves lives. If not, I want to be a researcher that can find the cures to many diseases. Cancer is one of them.

Life is a mysterious thing. But it is its mysteriousness that makes it such an amazing thing. We always wonder, we always ponder to why this and that happen. But sometimes they are just simply unexplainable, simply left with no answers. And all that we can do, is to simply move on in life.

The journey with so many bumps, the journey with so many turns. It's a never ending stretch of road that are filled with amazing views, and visited occasionally with storms. So, there are times we enjoy, and times we abhor. But what's great about the journey?

Its unpredictability.

18

It's been 18 years since I write
A book I called life.
Filled with my wrongs and rights
I carried on as new chapters arrive

It's been 18 years since I sing
A song I called life
The smile, the tears and the anger
That made my repertoire a beautiful piece

It's been 18 years since I dance
A dance I called life
The waltz, the salsa and the jive
That never fail to spice up my journey

It's been 18 years since I travel
In a journey I called life
The challenges, the joy, the pain I have raveled
Made this journey all worthwhile

It's been 18 years since I play
In a game I called life
Its ups and downs, twists and turns
Never fail to make me grown stronger

18 years have passed, lots more to come
The lessons I have learnt
The problems I have overcome
Shall be carried together with me

To continue this lovely mix of wonderful things
We called life

Happy Birthday to me :)
