I'm now in Washington!! The weather is fabulous with the sun, but without the sun, it can get really chilly especially if there is wind as well. I guess Washington is really the place to visit if you are interested in museums, whitehouse, the American history etc. But it just isn't the thing for me. I feel museums are rather dead. They are merely glorified objects hidden behind glass cases. You can't even interact with them! A book with all their pictures will surface for me. I'm not too particular about seeing them live.

Yawns. The Washington mall is a nice place to relax though. With the sun warming the chilly air, you get to observe as school kids walk by, as tourists walk by, or just look at random people playing baseball just like what I'm doing now!! Or perhaps just absorb yourself in a good book. Mmmmmmm... Not bad!!

In a few hours time, I'll be on the plane, enroute to NEw York!! This so exciting but yet nerve breaking!!

This will be my last long long LONG trip, not that I had many. In fact, the other was the trip to Europe just little of a year ago. =)

As strange as it sounds, although the last trip may be considered to have been gone with 'strangers' somehow, I just did not feel so... scared. This time round, the people is different, the personality is different, and the most SCARY thing is, they are all friends.

Weird, huh?! FRIENDS. So shouldn't the trip be more welcoming? Shouldn't the trip be less tentalizing? =S

Oh well, we shall see. =) Let's pray hard that nothing happens during the 3 weeks that we are there. =)

Fare-thee-well!!!!

And I'm off on a jet plane! (I wish!)

It's the last day of exams, but there isn't any excitement. As usual. It's back to my room and continue life as I left off. I never knew why others get so excites over the last day of exams. It just means that it's time to do every other thing you have put off for the sake of exams. Like planning my America trip for now.

You know how during the exams there seem to be a thousand and one things you'ld rather do than to study, but now that you're done with exams, you just don't seem to want to do any of those anymore. Weird how things work out. So after 4 years in uni, it still puzzles me as to why are people ecstatic over the last paper. Life goes on, albeit a little duller than before. What's the big fuss? What's the big deal?? Beats me.

Life just seem empty right now. I don't even look forward to the trip anymore.

"Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow"


-Yellow by Coldplay-

On the last week of school, on week 13 of the academic calender, I just performed for the last time at UCC theatre. In my 4 years at NUS, there was never a year where I did not stood on that stage. Every year, be it for concert, or for dance, I will always end up back there - standing on stage as the glaring lights from above shone down on me. Atlas, the day has come where I see the last.

April 14th - The last time that I was ever going to stand on those stage; glancing out at the audience; always hoping to see a familar face, yet scared at the same time that the sense of euphoria will cause me to fumble and miss my cue.

It was a bittersweet moment. Bitter for I knew I had to STUDY! (It was barely a week from my first paper?!?!) Sweet for I wanted to soak in the atmosphere as much as I could; the sense of exhilaration as I stood on stage, and the togetherness you feel as a team as the whole dance crew prepared for the performance together in the dressing room backstage, now that is irreplacable.

It's sad, but it's time to say goodbye.

In less than a week times, I'll be moving out from hall. This time, for good. Raffles hall - the place I spent the last 4 years, even more so than my house. It is the place where I shed those tears, where I shared those laughter, and the place where I forged unknown friendships.

I still recall the first day I arrived, tentatively expecting the worst since I have no idea who my room mate might be. To my surprise, my room mate turned out to be the sweetest girl that can ever exist on earth!

Time flies. We are nearing the end of our education phase, and proceeding onto the working phase. I hate this feeling of not knowing what is to come. All along, we'll always roughly know the path ahead - even if it hasn't been set in stone. Primary then secondary, then either poly or junior college. Even after that it's university. Now, I have no idea what is to come. Everything seems so bleak that it's worrying to say the least.

But right now, I still have one more paper!!! RAWR!! And then convocation to worry about.

I am so not looking forward to commencement right now.

I fervently wish time would stop.
NOW.
Pronto.

And let me have my wish of a happily ever after life.
