Ash's Joys

Another 17 hours to society again.

I'm quite happy that I've 8 days off. Finally a long and well-deserved break after the hectic pre-CNY weeks.

Ah... the relaxation I'm gonna have...

Right.

I guess I'll just have to accept busyness as part of my life already. Before one thing even ends, I've to embark on another. Seems that my time's always filled up to the maximum, but I guess that's how it is. A price to pay instead of having pure boredom. I'm one who can't just sit down and do nothing (although at times when I'm super tired, I do... but that's a different case altogether).

I'm a hands-on person. Meaning, that my hands gotta be on the move in order to feel that I'm actually doing something. Okay, waving my hands in the air doesn't count.

Back to plans for next week... I've gotta continue doing up my admissions procedures... the essay (UGH!?), and the admissions form. Must settle it fast.

And I can't imagine it's already February in a day's time. Oh man...

If Wile E. Coyote has so much money to buy ACME products, why can't he buy his own dinner?

Happy Chinese New Year to everyone out there!
May it be a prosperous and fruitful year for all out there!

Oh well, this period of time also marks the anniversary of my enlistment. So yeah, 50% done. 50% more to go!! Jiayou to myself :)

More another time ba... busy busy busy.

Can't imagine that 3 weeks of 2009 have already past.
And I've spent the bulk of it in camp...

Sometimes I wish for time to quicken up, in times of boredom and when I'm just feeling low, but it doesn't happen then.  But now I look back and realise that I'm already so far forward... not just me though, but everyone else too.

Sometimes I hope that I could turn back time... maybe change and tweak things here and there, to make life easier... to make things better now...  Then I realise that not everything can be changed, and if they should ever change, then things wouldn't be what they are now.  I can't predict whether change would bring about peace...or chaos... so I'll just leave it at there, since everything's just fine the way it is now.

Sometimes I want to kick myself in the head for doing stupid things which I make me regret doing them.  Then again, it's all in the past already... what's lost may never be retrieved, but if I don't look ahead, then I won't be able to search on, and find the beauties that will come my way in the future.  I don't think I've lived half my life yet, and I most certainly don't want it to be true; that means that I have more to look forward to, compared to looking backwards.

Sometimes I wonder why certain things happen.  Expect the unexpected... for the things that happen to you most of the time are things you don't expect to happen to yourself.  Thing is, just be prepared for whatever comes your way, and you'll find yourself able to handle situations more calmly.  That's when you think best; with a clear mind.

Sometimes I think that I can do one thing, and the next moment, question the rationality of the things I just did.  It's actually quite fun to have an internal debate over it, but I think that next time, rationality should come before action.

Sometimes I feel that everything can just go wrong... the wrong thinking, leading to the wrong decision, the wrong action, the wrong words, the wrong response, the wrong ideas, the wrong feelings, the wrong ending... but sure enough, that's where you learn... from the wrongs, to be turned into rights someday.

Sometimes, it's good to let your mind wander, think and imagine the things where you want to see youself at in a year, 3 years, 10 years.  Then you work towards it.

Everytime.

We'll write a song
That turns out the lights
When both boy and girl
Start suddenly shaking inside
Don't waste your time
Speed up your breathing
Just close your eyes
We'll hope it's not for nothing at all

Soft kiss and wine
What a pretty friend of mine
We're finally intertwined
Nervous and shy
For the moment we will come
Alive tonight

Secret valentine

We'll write a song
That turns out the lights
When both boy and girl
Start suddenly shaking inside
Don't waste your time
Speed up your breathing
Just close your eyes
We'll hope it's not for nothing at all

Lay down be still
Don't worry talk they will
I'll be loving you until
Morning's first light
Breaks tomorrow
I'll take care of you tonight

Secret valentine

We'll write a song
That turns out the lights
When both boy and girl start suddenly shaking inside
Don't waste your time
Speed up your breathing
Just close your eyes
We'll hope it's not for nothing at all

When guilt fills your head
Brush off rise up from the dead
This is the moment that we
Will come alive
Brace yourself for love
Sweet love, secret love

We'll write a song
That turns out the lights
When both boy and girl
Start suddenly shaking inside
Don't waste your time
Speed up your breathing
Just close your eyes
We'll hope it's not for nothing at all

We'll write a song
That turns out the lights
When both boy and girl
Start suddenly shaking inside
Don't waste your time
Speed up your breathing
Just close your eyes
We'll hope it's not for nothing at all

Nothing at all.

Can't describe the feeling that I have now... just a mixture of boredom, elation and expectation... Know it sounds weird... but then again... haha.

BORELATATION???

I'm going up, up, upwards!!!

To infinity and beyond!

WOOOSH!!!

You can be anyone you wanna be, just BELIEVE.

Just some sudden inspiration... well...

The prayer - Ash

It was a peaceful and quiet night,
The sounds of nature filled the place,
Then, the lights in the attic,
Of the lone little house in the distance,
Started to flicker, and came on,

The little boy stood in the attic,
He looked out of the window, into the sky,
And he saw a lone star,
Shining brightly, radiating light,
And he said a little prayer.

"Lord, I pray with my heart,
For a star in my life,
That will shine as brightly as,
That star in the night sky."
Then, he went to bed.

He went on with life,
Tried to do his best in everything,
He gained some, he lost some,
He was just contented with all he had,
But he forgot about the prayer he made.

Twenty years later, on a peaceful night,
He looked out of the window, into the sky,
And he saw a lone star,
Shining brightly, radiating light,
Then he remembered.

And he knew that the Lord,
Had answered his prayers,
But did not provide him with just a star,
But He provided him with three,
His wife, his son and his daughter.

Tears filled his eyes,
As he thanked the Lord.
Then he looked up again,
And saw not one, but four stars,
Shining brightly, radiating light.

01/01/09 came and gone like a blur...

It's the 2nd of January now... gotta start working on those dreams!
