What with the days passing ever so quickly, I suddenly catch myself again to stop and smell the roses around. Growing up's phenomena really is phenomenal. :)

Edging nearer to Turandot's performance nights, a total of 5 in a row. Definitely is one big excitement not to be missed, being in the chorus is really a rather exhilerating and humbling experience despite the long hours that we all put in... the things we sacrifice for the passion that keeps us alive. Seeing and hearing professional singers do their thing, makes me realise for sure that opera is something that I wouldn't do for the rest of my life because it really requires a hell lot of discipline and that drive to memorise all your parts. Not forgetting that sacrifice to give up a much of your personal life.. which in my current contentment with life's progress and the importance of my dearly beloved, I'd say I'd think twice now about anything.

It's funny, when you never used to believe in love and how it can drive someone or cause damages beyond extent. well, this IS the part where I can look life in the face and say, "Hey look, you're wrong." It's all about luck and chance, so I'm guarding this step, this journey with all of my heart and praying God will see us through. Anything can happen...

Looking at life now, everyone's growing up fast, friends drift apart, some become closer. The awkward twists and turns, the unfathomable surge and dip of the human relationships.. time is really getting at everyone, so make everything we have worth our time and do it well. Many priorities in my life as still shifting, in relation to everything that's happening in my life now. The ebb and flow of things, the fears and conquests that one makes. Sometimes it really can get a little scary, but I'm glad for LY who's made so much of this easier along the way. I just want to be happy at the end of the day.

Thankful that life is giving me so many opportunities to makes so many bold decisions in my life, to be strong and give me people to hold me through.

I'm never more thankful :)

faith, lead me now.
