the full stop and new page.

say goodbye to 2010 and embrace 2011.

another year passed and we are all a year older.

looking back, a lot had happened in 2010.

there are joyous moments, depressed periods and confused instances.

but all these has passed and i understood much more than before.

because i discovered much more and found out much more about myself.

perhaps there is too much that i want to say,

too much that i want to express,

that it had tired me out.

perhaps there is too much thoughts running through my mind,

that it had made me worried too much.

perhaps there is too much uncertainty

for the painting is not complete that i cnt see the light.

but as the year comes to a full stop tonight,

i will face the new page with faith.

because as long as i always keep the faith,

i will walk through this treacherous path.

the remains of its history

visited the national museum today with belle, min and cand. it was a truly enriching experience.learnt alot more about Pompeii from the museum tour guide and the artefacts showcased there. a little brief history about the fall of Pompeii: Pompeii was buried with volcanic mud, ash and pumice within 2 days after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius on 24 August 79 CE. it was only rediscovered in the 18th century. approximately 1150 vicitims were revealed and many excavated buildings were restored following the efforts of archaeologists from 1863 onwards.

the most interesting part of the exhibition was that i get to witness the lifestyle of the Pompeiians such as the kind of houses they lived in, the kind of public entertainment they enjoyed, the gods they worshipped and even the various types of food they eat in their normal daily lives. it was said that many of the Pompeiians were freedmen that mended businesses for their owners- the wealthy whom left Pompeii after going through the various earthquakes encounters before the Plinian eruption destroyed the town.

i guess we can never match up to the power of mother nature. one volcanic eruption is all that it takes to destroy an entire town and make the world forget about its existence for 1800 years. a truly sorrow fate for the Pompeiians.

this exhibition is really awesome and nus/ntu students shouldnt be missing it! because it's FOC. hahas. went for lunch at cathay and did catching ups with the gals after that. i was pretty upset i didnt manage to find thanksgiving live in dome dvd in gramophone cathay and hmv in both cityhall and heeren. shall continue my search and hopefully i will find it soon! (: hols is ending in another week and time really flies. gotta make full use of the remaining time and recharge myself before the new semester starts again.

always keep the faith

it was truly a difficult and unforgiving choice. i couldnt imagine how hard it would have been for them. even for us, it was heart wretching enough. to watch jyj's potrayal of falling leaves and nine. the tone in their voices said it all. all that was different and missing right now. and if it isnt five, it isnt right. there are so much that they are going through right now and perhaps a song or two could never express truly enough how they really feel. if the world had been a simpler place with more embracement, all these would have not occur at all.

but all of that had occured and all that we can do is to always keep the faith that a reunion will be possible someday. that the five will make a comeback. that this is just an ordeal that will only make their bond stronger for each other. because be it seven years or nine years, it is not the end for them.

under the same sky
we dream of the same dream
the brightness of the star's lights
the fear of the past
i will cherish it eternally
going towards the reality
even if i cant see you
i will come back for you
after the flowers fallen
we will start over again.

timeless

it has been awhile since i blogged. in fact, this is the 2nd post during the hols so far. time flies and the hols is almost coming to an end. it's short but sweet. although i listed down the things that i wanted to do this hols, i spent most of my time staying glued in front of my computer screen watching k-drama. and i was glad i took up the 5 days job cause i spent quite alot this hols. went shopping and couldnt resist buying clothes. i actually haven shop for very loooong so it's retail therapy for me. i enjoy picking up clothes that i fancy in my favourite stores and just trying them out. i really enjoy wandering around in malls and just looking through things without knowing what u might come across. if i werent sane enough, i actually bought tvxq collection discs and their concert disc which cost quite a bomb. it has been a long time since i spend money on such things but i was really glad i did. (:

i had been wondering recently what contentment really means to me. sometimes, in the pursuit of things, we might get blinded and miss out on events and things that really meant alot to us. if time allows, will i be doing something that i like to do and be in somewhere that i like to be in. these thoughts come by so often nowadays that it is starting to waver me. i hate to think of it but i am really contented with how things really are right now. it is just the measure of the extent of contentment i guess. i will never know how much it will be that's why i have such thoughts i guess.

updates!

just some updates of wat i had been doing for the past 1 wk. time flies so fast that liberation day seems to be ytd. if only time could stand still and let me enjoy these moments much longer.

world junior wushu championship!

it was truly an eye opener

French sanda player! (:

Korean sanda player!

it was really really a memorable experience for myself. there were so many countries that took part in this event and the cultural differences could be felt everyday. there were times when we had difficulties communicating with one another and we had to use hand signals and drawings. i was quite amazed and surprised that many non-asian countries practise wushu. and some of them even won world champion title for their countries. there is really no boundaries at all for wushu. (:

the new item on my wishlist:

jyj's thanksgiving live in dome album.

i went on to youtube to listen and their singing is still awesome just like before.

they sounded different prolly cos they are no longer tvxq but jyj.

this difference is good in a way i guess.

i had searched thru alot of places but i still couldnt find it. ):

notthesameanymore

if it will wilter away, i will waver the last breath and let the scent etch in my mind.

because amidst the surrounding, i could only hear the subtle silence.

it was so real and unforgiving.

and i donno how anymore.
