We begin every journey intending for an end and with every beginning, we pack along a little hope, a little faith and a big ambition. But through every journey, that hope, faith and ambition can sometime deter, and such as the fading of light, the destination might seem almost invisible. Quoting my mom's favorite advice, "Life is but a spin of a wheel. At times you are up while another at rock bottom." and so is each journey. Though impossible, it is at times, there will be moments of joy and happiness. And finally, the voyage reaches its end. Funny enough, we tend to look back at the road traveled and ponder. Either reminiscing or regretting, the journey itself is what we walk away with and hold dear to our hearts instead of our triumphant journey. The prize at the end of the road? Materialistic possessions or perhaps the lady in red? These are a few champions that we savour for a while but at the end of the day, we shall come back to the journey. The road to impossible...
Time flies dear readers, and such it is for me. This friday, I will soon turn 25 and while counting each strike of the clock at night, I wonder. How far am I in this voyage? Have everything I've ever wanted turned out the way it's meant to be? Could I've done something else instead? Do I regret my decisions? Why did I choose this path and not the other? Every single night and it doesn't seem to stop. Maybe its something that happens to every person when they have nothing better to do than wonder off into their own world? =P
A word of advice to my beloved readers, cherish time and not just that. Cherish the moments. The good and the bad. Cherish the ones close and far. The old and the new but most of all, cherish life, as for every second that passes, you are one step closer to the end of the journey.

for our parents..
i carry your heart with me
i carry your heart with me
i carry it in my heart
i am never without it
anywhere i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling
i fear no fate
for you are my fate,my sweet
i want no world
for beautiful you are my world,my true
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart
i carry it in my heart
