It's like running a marathon. You start the journey with unwavering willpower, confidence and the fullest energy. And then when you're stuck somewhere in the middle, in this long, tiring, endless journey, you start to lose sight of your destination. But when you start to see that finishing line, a sudden burst of energy from nowhere just take you over; you just want to spring your legs and dart across that final stretch. The best part? You get to see who's truly there cheering you on at the finishing line. Sweet.

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow, And each road leads you where you want to go, And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose, I hope you choose the one that means the most to you. And if one door opens to another door closed, I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window, If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile, But more than anything, more than anything, My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, And while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, Yeah, this, is my wish. I hope you never look back, but you never forget, All the ones who love you, in the place you left, I hope you always forgive, and you never regret, And you help somebody every chance you get, Oh, you find God'...

So my friends are awesome really. I had to go to the toilet, and they listed down several reasons why ladies shouldn't go to the toilet alone. But because amongst the reasons there were Harry Potter references, I let them get away for instilling terror in me. Muahaha. Why girls shouldn't go to toilet alone: - The possibility of the re-apperance of the Basilisk who was responsible for Moaning Myrtle's murder - A troll lurking, who attacked Hermione while she decided to hide in the cubicles to cry (because of Ron sheesh)

“The resting place of the mind is the heart. The only thing the mind hears all day is clanging bells and noise and argument, and all it wants is quietude. The only place the mind will ever find peace is inside the silence of the heart. That's where you need to go.” ― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

Never got sick of her songs really. Awesome.

So this semester really teaches me how to be resourceful. Really, really resourceful.

There are reasons why certain people are so special and that you can immediately set them apart from the rest. Of course there are the good times; they bring joy, warmth and comfort, but it's also these same people who make you vulnerable/feel vulnerable in many bittersweet ways. It is these few people who can really surprise you with your capacity to allow yourselves to bask in this vulnerability despite knowing the associated risks that may come along. It's like scraping the different epidermal layers of your skin, and exposing them bit by bit until you've arrived at the innermost layer where you are most vulnerable to pathogens. It is with these people you can be completely yourself with and through being comfortable, you gradually expose some flaws, weaknesses, habits, weird tendencies and silly antics along the way. Other people can easily shoot you down, some may leave you, criticize you, bring you down but these people acknowledge and embrace them and perhaps shoot y...

Don't you know the cold and wind and rain, don't know They only seem to come and go away Stand by me Nobody knows the way it's gonna be Oasis must come to Singapore.

Love the thought of good books! I'm planning to read these once school's out! Ok, this is quite an odd range of books. Seems to suggest I'm depressed when I'm not haha. I'm planning to read more books in the psychology section as well. Time to read more psychology-related books that are non-academic :)

Several times the same question popped at the back of my head, "What did I just get myself into?" But there's no stopping now. There's only looking forward.
