MY BIRTHDAY IS OVER! =( Shall post a long post since I feel like it (rare!)

Firstly, thank you to everyone who wished me happy birthday, be it via facebook, sms or in person. Thank you to my class who sang me the birthday song of a total of 5 times over yesterday and today. Thank you to Hui Feng, Dawn, Lydia for going to Kaleidoscope with me! =)) [I just used a...rhetorical device - repetition!]

Kaleidoscope was a great performance tonight. I spaced out during some parts of the melodies as I recalled a few incidents. My life. 16 years on Earth, packed with things. Mistakes, tears, joy, laughter and regrets were all the past. I can't change the past, but I can make my own future. Opportunities, choices, are the future.

Some thoughts during the performances were linked with life. Life is just like a performance. Music, lighting and the stage were merely external factors that enhances the performance. What was truly attractive was the fact that the performers did they best. Their serious expression was written all over their faces. The joy, the nervousness mostly showed. Yet, the rush of adrenaline that surged through them must have been hard to miss.

The whole performance also changes with perspective. The overall feeling is different when you take in the whole scene and when you simply focus on 1 person. With the whole scene, the cooperation matters. Every action you make are crucial to everyone else. Yet, when you simply focus on 1 person, the moves become clearer. With it though, so does the mistakes.

Who doesn't wish to do well in life? It all really depends on the amount of hardwork, effort and just a bit of luck. Life will always have its ups and downs. I will always be on this roller coaster ride. I will be tired along the way, lost, confused. I still am. Torn between choices, doubting my own decisions. One day, everything will be clear, one day, everything will reveal itself in due course. This, is the hope that I cling on to.
