The Wedding Bell Rings

Current Mood: Joyous
Current Song: Canon in D
Current Read: The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

January 2009.
Two weddings.
A month of love, reunion and joy.

L-O-V-E stands for love.
Simple to spell,
Difficult to understand.
A lifetime to know it.



Cousin WeiGuang marrying in a week time;
The first male within our generation.
Never expect him to be the one;
Cause he's always the studious one among all.

Alex's next.
The last day of the month.
The last day of singlehood.
But yet, a love of everlasting.

A church wedding,
As the "Canon in D" plays,
A wedding of a lifetime.
Congratulations dudes.

Love.
A wildly misunderstood,
Although highly desirable malfunction of the heart,
Which weakens the brain,
Causes eyes to sparkle,
Cheeks to glow,
Blood pressure to rise,
And the lips to pucker.

Love.
Does not consist of gazing at each other,
But in looking together in the same direction.

Love.
Two souls, one heart;
that's the quote.

Forever;
That's the word.

Best wishes.

Oh, that fucking innocent kid

Current Mood: Contemplative
Current Song: I have a dream, Westlife's version
Current Read: The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

O, I was once that fucking ambitious kid.
With big dreams, high hopes, and lovely wishes.

I want to be a high tech farmer,
That's when I was taking my O's.
I want to open an aquaculture farm,
That's when I was taking my O's.

Oh, was that me?
Oh, was that me?
Yeah, that was me.
Yeah, that was me.

I want to be a cafe owner,
That's when I was graduating from poly.
I want to study coffee in Italy,
That's when I was graduating from poly.

Oh, was that me?
Oh, was that me?
Yeah, that was me.
Yeah, that was me.

...

O, I was once that fucking studious kid.
With big dreams, high hopes, and lovely wishes.

Six months time from now,
I'll be graduating,
Whether I like it not.
Four months time thereafter,
NSF in that green uniform will be my status,
Whether I like it not.

And when everything's over,
I will be a goner.
Cause I can't see my future ahead.
And when everything's over,
I will be a goner,
Cause I dunno what I want in life.

...

O, I was once that fucking optimistic kid.
With big dreams, high hopes, and lovely wishes.

I shall continue with school, shall I?
That Master in Molecular Biosciences in Germany?
That Master in Applied Medical Biotechnology in Sweden?
I want to continue with school, can I?

I shall step into the workforce, shall I?
Be that researcher who work till the day I die in some laboratories?
Be that clinical trial associate who travel around?
I don't want to step into the workforce, can I?

...

I was once that fucking ambitious kid.
I was once that fucking studious kid.
I was once that fucking optimistic kid.
With big dreams, high hopes, and lovely wishes.

I was that fucking innocent kid.
I was that innocent kid.
I was that kid.
With big dreams, high hopes, and lovely wishes.

...

And now, I'm no longer that kid.
Cause I no longer have big dreams.
Cause I no longer have high hopes.
Cause I no longer have lovely wishes.

And now, I'm no longer that kid.
Cause life fucks me up.
Cause reality fucks me hard.
Cause I was fucked.
