prom

so ends our reign as absolute seniors of the school

it's going to be difficult to leave it all behind

the good times. the bad times. and everything in between

and it took a night at mambo to realise how difficult it is for me to completely lose myself in something

no matter how much i want to just forget the world, there's always that little voice in the back of my head telling me to stay in control. maybe it's good. maybe it's not

but for all it's worth, may the memories stay with us forever, because in times of darkness, they will be the foundation that we can count on, that no matter what happens, we have these wonderful memories of years gone by. may we never forget, because the greatest gift than anyone can give to someone else is remembrance, that even when we have passed on, one by one, we will still be remembered by those who remain behind


Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees

Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there

We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time

Goodbye Papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along

Goodbye papa it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them I'll be there

We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone

Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground

Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there

We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone

picture personality

TEMPERAMENT
Idealist

You are the quintessential dreamer - spending more time thinking about the possibilities that the world holds for you, rather than your reality. You don't settle for anything less than what you truly desire and you work very hard. You tend to live in every place except the present - you are prone to daydreaming about the future and re-thinking the choices you made in the past. Sometimes you get overly caught up in your thoughts.

INTERESTS
Thrill Seeker

You are interested in anything that is exciting and pleasurable. You're not afraid to indulge yourself - you live by your own set of rules and don't allow yourself to get hung on what others think. For the most part, you are independent and do whatever you please to do. Trying to stop you from doing something only makes you want it even more. At the end of the day - you live for life's most thrilling moments.

AMUSEMENT
Thoughtful

You are easily stressed out and overwhelmed - you need to take care of yourself first and foremost. Because you tend to be self reflective, you know your limits quite well and must remember to not exceed those limits. When you overwhelm your life with obligations and responsibilities, you tend to shut down and go into yourself even further. Take some time to find your serenity and kick back your feet.

PASSION
Physical

You are a cuddle bug - from a warm hug shared with your best friend to steamy sex with your partner, you enjoy every bit of human contact that you can get. You demonstrate your love for others most fluidly through physical one-on-one contact and you feel the most loved when you are being touched. You feel disconnected when you are physically isolated from others. You're a people person and a lover of all things human.

our farewell

our farewells

the time has come, for us to say
our last farewells, for 'tis the day
that we venture forward, parting ways
for however long, none can say

as time goes on, we may look back
on the times we spent, as one big pack
the love for each other, which no one lacks
and our many many notes, which lie in stacks

i write this now with many in mind
with hopes that forever, our friendships bind
i ask for memory, i'll return in kind
but go forward, and never look behind

the time has come, we must go now
our lives await, led by the prow
of joy and hope, that we never bow
no matter when, where or how

we will stay strong, through the never
without a thought of backing down, ever
but remember on thing, in our endeavours
always sing ACS, forever...

injury prone legs

in the space of about two weeks, i have busted my:-

  • right ankle
  • left knee (bottom half)
  • right big toe
  • left knee (top half)
at least i know that the next injury should come somewhere on my right leg

now what's the probability of that happening

do a hypothesis test

at 5% significance level

childhood innocence

i think one reason i can still often see situations with an honest heart and innocent mind is because i never really ever let go of my childhood

i found this facebook group about 'if you lived in the 90s', and going through the list of things there made me feel unusually nostalgic

maybe a part of me still lives in that life of a 10 year old just discovering the world

maybe it's good, maybe not

but hell i'm never letting it go

malay over

one subject down

but that was just the warm up

monday the real shit begins

SET IT OFF

thank you

it's not so much about how you let me pick your brain all these weeks (though that was quite an important part of studying anyhow)

it's more about how i now have a reason to motivate myself, even if it's not purely emotionally, more to just have a good healthy level competition, to push me on.

so it's not what you've done, even though i'm eternally grateful for it

it's who you've been, who you are and who you will always be, your sheer presence, that has helped me the most
