The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood,
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Grad night/prom is over.

I got my hair straightened because I wanted at least once in my lifetime to experience what it is like to have nice straight hair that doesn't curl up all over the place. The feeling is quite nice.

I was momentarily stunned when I entered Swiss Hotel. Everyone looked so grown up, so different. And then the photo taking began.

Perhaps because time is short, the people you know are many. People whom have made an impact in your life, in ways big and small. There's no time to sit down and catch up and talk, there might not come a chance in the future for such a thing to happen. So perhaps that's why the cameras flash non-stop... to capture the memory before it can slip away.

Everyone looked good.

Once upon a December...

I love the melody of this song.

When we look back, we will remember it as once upon a december... we were thus....

.......................................

If I could turn back the clock, I'll turn it back to the very first day I stepped through the gates of the statue of Athena at RGS and began my 6 years in a Rafflesian family. All the laughter, the joy and yes, even the tears, the pain, I will take... just to hold on to the memory a bit longer....

but life is not meant to be travelled backwards. We look onwards to the future.

There were "thank yous" and "take cares" that were unspoken.... too fast a click of the camera and we move on. It's not meant to be such. We know that we do care... we just live too quickly to stop in our tracks.

Perhaps our lives are like silken threads and each of us a unique colour. Somtimes, our paths may cross and the threads intertwine. Altogether, a colourful tapestry will be woven.

To the graduating Rafflesian batch of 2007 AND all members of the Rafflesian family, my utmost Thanks for all the wonderful memories and learning experiences.

............................

And it is almost time to say goodbye here. When I started writing here, I truly meant it to be a place where I can store the experiences in rj... as skii said, we've finally closed the rjc chapter of our lives... its also about time to leave.

although not quite yet...

somethings have yet to be concluded....

soon. i hope.

........................................

the wispy silk of the gown trailed the last guests out of the ballroom. the muffled bang of the last footsteps sounded sharply on the carpeted floor. The cameras flashed one last time at the lingering crowd as the men and ladies trooped out of the ballroom.

And all that is left is the faint whiff of perfume not quite blending in with the smell of unfinished food...

......................................

my poor feet is suffering from too much walking. let's see. ran to schl on 23rd, hiked frm btnr to macritchie on 30th, ran/walked 42.195km on sun and walked arnd in heels ytd...
