About the Author
At the first cutting light of August, many years ago, the world got the first glimpse of the entity known henceforth as
Leon Yip. It decided to douse the aforesaid with sunshine, sweets, and loads of love.
Legend has it, so convicting were his words, that upon his request, the world agreed to revolve around him, forever, and ever, and ever.

Wow,
I miss one class reunion, and wow. I'm in no position to say anything, cause I'm not even sure if I'm supposed to know what I do. But damn, it really upsets me to witness something which was built up so swiftly and gracefully get torn down so abruptly and devastatingly. Its just hard to look at things the same way now, my perception of things has been shaped, no doubt.
Stay strong, and may I quote a Jason Mraz lyric - "if you're shocked, its just the fault of faulty manufacturing".
We're all there for each other.
Well, things happen. Just live for whats coming.
Haha, the wedding on saturday just really opened up the unwanted questioning of "what-if". I guess that through witnessing someone so akwardly related to me finally confirm her happiness through matrimony, I've learnt that nothing is fully controllable by our own powers, God is pulling the strings,but what we can do though, is to accept everything, and its all-encompassing reasoning that it is for the better, and just live to love everything that comes our way.
I'm just in a really pensive mood right now, just thinking on nothing and everything. Its kinda weird how even though I have a trajillion things which I absolutely have to complete, I always find scouring my brain (which exists by the way) for the little answers to my undying questions on top of my priority list. Paradoxical as it may sound, more often than not, I find all my questions answered, yet I never cease to remain clueless about life and its relation with lil' me. This gargantuan world would never be big enough for any one of its puny inhabitants, yet we all find sufficient space to share and care together.
Sigh, its all just a big blur right now, the only things which are clear are that which hits me straight in my eye. Its funny isn't it, how just merely 2 years ago, we were all, or at least, most, rather, some of us were so ignorant and oblivious of the "world out there", we thought nothing about growing up. Now, two years down, though we've all been through thick and thin, faced many problems, overcame many obstacles, be it personal or as a band of brothers, we no doubt feel more "wise", but yet, "grown up" seems never to be the word which would leap up when we examine our present state of mind.
I guess being almost seventeen has brought about its fair share of anxieties, my heart wants to just jump into anything comes my way, but my brain just screams "not ready yet". I listen to my heart most of the times, and so far, it has never brought me down any wrong path. I'm walking this road with my mouth wide open as I'm awestruck by the sights and sounds. Damn, five years down the road, I'm going to re-open my blog, and just laugh at how immature and idealistic I sounded when I was seventeen, just as I chuckle whenever I flip through my hopeless archives. (which I'm gonna do now, I think)
This has been one of the more thought-ful posts I've posted in a long long while. Hopefully, it gets through to myself as I sadly and loserishly open my weblog browser and hope childishly that someone has tagged my tagboard. (hint hint)
A dream never felt so real before, when the waves rise to cleanse the shore. I'd be there, forever more.
