Departure Halls.

If you knew me, you'd know (for some rhyme or reason or maybe for the simple reason- being Singaporean) I'd hate anything that involved wasting my time. So naturally, activities like shopping where it involves walking around aimlessly all while by the end of the day having achieved nothing, would to an extent, frustrate me. But this winter, I've come to the realisation, that it's not what you've achieved in the end, but whether you had fun during the journey. (Hence the quote "Not the destination but the journey that matters.) And with this thought in mind, I started to appreciate the smallest of things, making me hold onto moments far more better. You know how books always have those "And in that moment" clauses, I had alot of those moments.

Because you must know, that time change, people change, so you hold on to those memories, to remember and remind yourself, what it was like to be in that moment. Time slips through your fingers -like running water. You don't take things for granted just because you have it everyday, see it everyday, assume it will be there the next day just cos' it was here today.




Have you ever walked down the streets before with someone, and the second time once more, but this time, you're alone? It's like you're re-living memories, familiar streets, remembering what had happened there, thinking to yourself and smiling, but suddenly your smile falls, because you realise, you're reliving it, but alone. I didn't know it was possible, to feel a hole, as if a chunk of me was taken away from me. As dramatic as that sounds- I did feel it, the moment those doors closed before me, I was at loss. And I didn't know what was worse; knowing I wasn't strong enough, or that i'd have to be either way cos' life ain't a bed of roses and if I can't stand up on my own, who else is going to?

It's back to reality.

Back to the routine of drowning my emotions in panic and stress of uni work and assignments, hoping that amongst all this, time will fly by, just like it did all those moments ago.

I miss you, already.

anyeong (:
