that futile wish

we woke up at 5am this morning to catch the sunrise at marina barrage. It was Yingqi's 21st birthday celebration:) The view was spectacular, and we were just standing there in a line, looking at the sun's rays slowly change from a dark orange color to a brighter gold.

we just stood there talking about our plans for next year, and we took lots of photos as usual. Then, the sprinklers went off. We screamed(well, the girls screamed), and we rushed to shift the bags and food away from the water. haha, it was quite comical seeing how gek theng was just telling us that a similar thing happened to her a few months back. oh well. we didn't get wet, and the food was salvaged;)

Karen went for a haircut recently, and her hair's really short now. It's even shorter than what I wanted to do to my hair, and she looks really good with the short hairstyle:D now, if only I'm fairer, if only I don't wear specs, and if only my nice friends will allow me to go for a haircut, I just might go cut my hair next year end. (year end!haha).

I learnt a lot of things today, and as cell was just sharing on how many of us wil be away next year, I felt a bit unsure. Somehow, at that moment, I felt a little apprehensive about leaving and embarking on a new adventure. (this is random, but I just remembered how our astro notes had this side note in the last lecture that says how we earthlings are ROOKIES about to embark on a new adventure). haha

like I said, it was just a sudden feeling.

and Karen was just saying how she can't imagine me staying overseas by myself. haha, I guess I seem to be a very dependent person. I guess I am in many ways. And honestly, I get that a lot. The people around me are always telling me that they can't see me living by myself overseas. Part of me acknowledges this truth, but somehow, I feel like explaining that I think I can see myself getting along relatively well by myself. Well, maybe not entirely by myself, but the idea is there.

but then again, there's nothing to prove. when the time comes, we will all know;)

Today was great, and I am now more sure than ever that these are the people I want to grow up with, and they are the ones I want to stay with.





I was surprised to see the rainbow, and I was taken aback, until I realized it wasn't a complete one.
