As requested, a post on fireworks.
It was squeezy, it was crowded like the entire nation has gathered on the steps of Marina Square and behind the Esplanade. I waited for a long long time. 1 hour to be exact. But it was worth it. 10 minutes of resplendent shimmers in the sky, momentarily turning darkness into patches of light. Watching it made the crowd cheer madly whenever some new fancy firework explodes. I was happy, I don't know why, but I was. Like seeing all different colours glitter and shimmer and the cheering and the beautiful postcard worthy scene. Too bad the moments of euphoria were too short-lived.
And something about crowds makes my headache and makes me really cranky. I think I saw Mr Shaun Lim with his family somewhere. Hoards of people were marching to the MRT stations and it was chaos.

Since I've blogged about the fireworks, I might as well blog on. Click was a good show I must say, thought provoking. We all cried and called our Mums to say "I love you" and I still haven't mastered the art of crying silently. I'm going to call Serene my master. I believe people can't watch sappy movies with me without feeling irritated with my noisy crying. I apologize to all who have went through, and will be going through this trauma.
A strong word of advice? Live the life, really live it. You have heard this before no doubt. But don't waste your life anymore on useless things, like wasting time, watching your life go past and before you know it, you've graduated, searching for jobs and you realize, shit this is not where I want to work. Damn I should have studied harder. You can't regret, you won't have a chance to make up your regrets.
Also, really appreciate every moment, every minute. Do what you firmly believe in, but don't do wrong things that will cause your life to go ugly.
Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.
And there's something else. I won't waste my life away anymore.
