sweet escape: Another perfect day

no need to worry about everything i've done

live every second like it was your last one.

i find it extremely ironic how despite the fact that the major exam is over, im finding it harder to breathe and cope with everything that's going on more than ever now. i feel that im running out of time, im afraid of not having enough time with my family & friends.

im afraid that i would not be able to create enough memories to last me over the year i will be away; it scares me that i have to move out of my comfort zone and venture into the unknown without my friends to hold my hand.

i would be lying if i said the year 2007 passed in the blink of an eye, because truth to be told, it didn't. there were times that were so painstakingly long(mostly during history, i think) that you wished time would go by faster. however, personally when i reflect back on the year, fortunately all i remember are the beautiful times i spent with my family and friends. these are the moments that just escape by you so quickly you wish you could grab on to them.

but you can't.

as cliched as it is to write a reflective post on new years eve, it's what i want to do. the past year was undoubtedly filled with all kinds of struggles you could ever imagine. but what's important is that i got through it.

i've learnt that in the course of my 17-year-old life, it is possible to find true friends. people are so quick to judge others by the way they dress, or the way they speak. i've learnt that some people are just misunderstood, and if given the chance, they could be the best thing that's ever happen to you.

there were also unhappy moments and times of grief that struck my family. it was a rough time for all of us, and at times now, it still is. but i believe God would not put us through something we aren't capable of getting out of. and i believe that this experience has really brought my family alot closer :) so don't feel sorry for what happened to my family, because i think it's one of the greatest blessings in disguise.

so, after all the drivel i've typed out, i hoped you haven't left the page yet. or you'd probably have just skipped right to the bottom to where the pictures are :)

i know i've missed out on alot of pictures on the event's that has happened thus far after the exams. but im happy to say i have wonderful hardworking friends who complete the job for me :) here are just some random pictures.
