At the beginning

We were strangers starting out of a journey
Now we have a dream that we have to go through
Now here we are and I am suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me that I was going to find you
Unexpected but it did threw my heart
When I lost hope, you were there to remind me.
This is the start.

And life is the road that I wanna to keep going
Love is the rhythm I wanna keep flowing
Life is the road
Now I will have a wonderful journey
I’ll be there when the world stops turning
I’ll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna stand at the beginning with you

We were strangers out at a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams were to come true
Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

And life is the road that I wanna to keep going
Love is the rhythm I wanna keep flowing
Life is the road
Now I will have a wonderful journey
I’ll be there when the world stops turning
I’ll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna stand at the beginning with you

Knew that there will be somebody somewhere
That will be locked in the dark
Now that our dreams were little up
I’ve been waiting so long
Nothing’s gonna tear us apart

And life is the road that I wanna to keep going
Love is the rhythm I wanna keep flowing
Life is the road
Now I will have a wonderful journey
I’ll be there when the world stops turning
I’ll be there when the storm is through
In the end I stand at the beginning with you

Ya….

Life is the road that I wanna to keep going
Love is the rhythm I wanna keep going on.
Starting out of a journey
Life is the road that I wanna to keep going
Love is the rhythm I wanna keep flowing
In the end I will be standing at the beginning with you


Beginning of year 2005, lots of memories for year 2004 and past years. Triumph, anguish, dejected, confused and so many feelings I have experienced. I do not quite understand myself. I did not think much of New Year resolution; thinking is only some composition that teachers confirm ask you to write. This year, I seemed to think a lot. Memories began to flash back. I could still remember my primary school days. I was always a loner. Eat alone; study alone, just did not want to interact with anyone else. However, sense of achievements was born from there. Remember that there was once, it was raining heavily one day in my primary six year, being the head prefect. Coincidently, it was the mid year exam. I saw lots of students rushing into the school. There was no shelter and by the time the students were to reach the school canteen, they were drenched and in this state, how to take the exams?
Felt a bit bad to let them be, so I just took my umbrella and started to bring students into the school compound. After a few students, I was very drenched. Some of the prefects saw this and helped me without me saying anything. That kind of feeling was just great, warming should I say. All of us were drenched thus might as well let the students have most of the umbrella space instead of half half. Ya ended dripping wet. When I went back to class, my form teacher was shocked, thinking I had met an accident. I was sneezing along the exam and of course I did not do well and got scolding and caning by my mum. But deep inside me I was happy that I had used my own initiative.
Things did not last long. Another voting and election, ended in anguish. I got into nothing and become a normal prefect. Trust me, I was downright disappointed and yelled almost everyday after school. I just did not refuse to accept it nor do I want to think of the reasons. When my fellow prefects manage to “council” me, I realised my mistake and continue to serve the school.
Secondary one was when I started new surroundings around me. Know new friends, missing my primary school friend was totally out of the question. All I think was, “ Who cares? I am in a school so far from my primary school. Clementi to Tampines is like the other of the island.” I got into a class with lots of people with different character. I knew I could not be that kind shut-up ones. I had to interact with others to learn more in this new surrounding. That was time when I finally bring myself out and maybe a bit too talkative. When I was the class chairman, I got feedbacks that I was very bossy. I just did not have any bother about changing myself. I got very distanced from the class but I dun care. Things changed again when I entered the council. Wah! It was just great when leaders get to together. The EXCO people were way too cool. I finally understand what is leadership, is not ordering people around but is lead people by one self’s behaviour. No way you gonna ask people to follow you when you started yelling orders. To my opinion, staying low profile and learning others may be a good idea.
This year, I learnt so many things that it is hard to note it down. Drowning at sentosa, top the class for maths for only once, the actual divorce of my parents, shift to a permanent home(not from Tampines to choa chu kang and back again, then finally to toa payoh) the second time I got first for international calligraphy, three times I lost to this catholic guy and so many things. Tell ya later.
It is now a new year and it is another beginning, I really wish it will end happily ever after. I just wished it to be happy not filled with that much of surprises.
