I know I've posted this song before, but right now, it seems inevitable that I post it again. Inevitable.

Footprints In The Sand - Leona Lewis

You walked with me,
Footprints in the sand,
And helped me understand,
Where I'm going,

You walked with me,
When I was all alone,
With so much unknown,
Along the way,
Then I heard you say,

I promise you,
I'm always there,
When your heart is filled with sorrow,
And despair, I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand.

I see my life flash across the sky,
So many times have I been so afraid.
And just when I, have thought I lost my way,
You gave me strength to carry on,
It's then I heard you say,

I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled
With sorrow and despair
And, I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand.

When I'm with you,
Well I know you've been there,
And I can feel you when you say,

I promise you (you)
I'm always there
When your heart is filled (when your heart)
With sadness and despair (and despair)
I'll carry you when you need a friend (need a friend)
You'll find my footprints in the sand. (I promise you)

Ohh. (I'm always there)

When your heart is full of
Sadness and despair, (and despair)
I'll carry you when you need a friend. (I'll carry you)
You'll find my footprints in the sand.

Uhh mmhhh.

I guess in a very strange and somewhat cathartic way, I'm starting to see things in new perspectives. It isn't all a bad thing, though there are still many pieces which I'm trying to fit together in this life-sized jigsaw. I hope that it'll all work out, because today made me see the good in circumstance. Maybe tomorrow, maybe it'll work out just fine.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S (:

I MISS.

Searching, for shoulders for rent. Willing to pay a high price.
Searching, for outstretched arms. Willing to return the favour.
Searching, for unfrosted hearts. Willing to give you a part of mine.

Searching for warmth.
Searching for embrace.

Searching, for answers.

I MISS. I MISS. I MISS.

This is the time when true friends stand tall.
When they are your shelter in the storms.
When they are your motivation when hope is lost.
When they are your promises in disappointments.
When they are your hope in despair.
When they are your light in the darkness.
When they are your comfort in the sorrow.

When they choose to stand tall, when you feel so small.

Then you will know, how yesterday and tomorrow can last until forever.

and those flames which lit up the atmosphere of the night brought the curtain down on a wonderful 5 days of orientation. they represented the passion of our batch, what we stood for and how we could unite in the true meaning of the word 'O'Tiero'. there surely is much more to come, for us to await, in the next two years. for now though, it's over. all that are left are memories.

Looking back, these past 5 days came and went all too quickly. Even though they were tiring and long days, each step of the way was surely meaningful and worth it. I really don't think I'll trade this experience for anything, because not only was it enjoyable, it also taught me lessons as a person.

MT01 O'rbiquack & OGLs, thanks for everything.

& I really feel the best way to sum everything up is our batch song. These lyrics really encompass all our hopes, dreams, fears, connections and experiences. Really, right now, everything truly seems like it was just yesterday.

When We Look Back - Batch Song 2009

Wasn't it just yesterday
I couldn't find the words to say
To fill the empty silence
To break the awkward moments

A little smile and laughter shared
A friendship sparked because you cared
This path we tread won't be smooth
But together we will pull through

Walking hand in hand, heart to heart, joining voices to sing and dance
When I start this song, you'll sing along, and we can just go on and on and on

When we look back, will we remember
Each moment of this year?
The days that mark our time in here
Threaten to disappear

All that we have's the present
To cherish while we can
Seizing every chance we're blessed with
And leave with no regrets

Took a firm step in this place
Wishes, hopes, we're in a daze
The cold walls are taunting
Just where's the warmth within?

Whenever you call my name
Across the corridor
The madness of chasing dreams
Doesn't matter anymore

Walking hand in hand, heart to heart, joining voices to sing and dance
When I start this song, you'll sing along, and we can just go on and on and on

When we look back, will we remember
Each moment of this year?
The days that mark our time in here
Threaten to disappear

All that we have's the present
To cherish while we can
Seizing every chance we're blessed with
And leave with no regrets

Rough winds only bring us higher
Tough fights only make us stronger
Yet knowing we've got one another
We'll stick together more than ever
Yeah...

When we look back, will we remember
Each moment of this year?
The days that mark our time in here
Threaten to disappear

All that we have's the present
To cherish while we can
Seizing every chance we're blessed with
And leave with no regrets

When we look back, will we remember
Each moment of this year?
The days that mark our time in here
Threaten to disappear

All that we have's the present
To cherish while we can
All the friends we've made we won't forget
We'll leave with no regrets
This two years no regrets
This two years no regrets.

at times like these.

when my heart is strangled, when I feel like screaming.
the only option seems like a voiceless release into the night;
the night which merely stares back, without sympathy.

to sit motionless in pitch-black silence
allowing my tears to scar my face, creeping slowly
to tear me apart as no one watches in darkness.

because at times like these,
I really need a hand holding mine
telling me that we won't let go.

why does life have to work out this way?
