So. I danced today. After 10 months. Ten whole months. WHAT a feeling. A heady mix of joy, exhilaration and nostalgia. Its one of those moments when you want to shout from the rooftops and share your joy with every single person around. SO so happy :) And since anything else that I say from this point onwards will seem to be random blabber because I'm quite incoherently happy right now, I'll just go. Keep dancing, stay happy!

Singa singa!
Aaand we're back. Whatte trip, whatte experience! Singapore, I quite like you :) I honestly don't know where to begin from. From roaming the streets at 4 a.m. to epic balcony talks, from parallel committees to the closing ceremony on the beach, its been quite awesome. Despite the fact that I'm quite done with MUNning. For the time being atleast. But let's not talk about that.
Also, maps seem to be my thing. Okay, not really. But being the resident cartographer of the delegation was so much fun! "Travellers" like Vijay will quite agree that I was awesome :P And then there were the brilliant insights into law school life. I don't know whether it was the fact that being away gives you more perspective or it was just the time but I feel like I know law school better. Or rather, I'm better equipped to handle it now. The highlight was, of course, the reunion of the sisters. So much fun and after SO long! Even though I was treated like the 'kid' just because I'm 19 and they're growing old. Hmph.
No post about this trip can be complete without a mention about happy happy. Aqseer and I are still sad because Anita burst our bubble. But I swear the MRT woman said happy happy and not weird berhati-hati for mind the gap. No on believes me. But I know the woman was just expressing her joy everytime we got onto the train. Huh. She loved us. I know it.
On the whole I would say it was quite brilliant. A good start to the IIIrd trimester definitely! Back to law school now, I guess. Third trimester beckons.
Toodles!

Jogging Past.
There are some days when you feel like you've suddenly grown as a person. You can feel life going past you a little faster than usual. Jogging almost. Some conversations, some sights and some people later, you feel a little older. More experienced maybe. And as much as these moments of 'growing up' make you smile at your earlier innocence, they also make you realise what an idiot you might have been!
I've had a couple of such moments these hols and I have a feeling I've emerged as a better person, if nothing else. Experiences and relationships teach you SO much. Its quite incredible actually. Perspectives can also make a sea of difference. Take a look. Mistakes made and lessons learnt are also rewards, if you choose to view them through that lens. Rewards for the circumstances that you have endured and rewards that will hopefully ensure you don't make those mistakes again. Just a matter of different angles. Anyhow, Trimester III of Law School beckons. Something tells me its going to be a little different from the first two. In many, many ways. The rest is of course pure conjecture, but one thing is for sure, I'm going back with a lot more than I came with. And hopefully, it'll serve me well.
When far, far on the distant horizon
The first rays of the sun emerge
Fresh and as yet, untouched,
Pack your bags and let the journey begin
For the road is yet untrodden
And life, yet undiscovered.

Love.
Here goes another of those poems. Its something I wrote ages ago but came across again today and decided to post. I think its kind of childish and yet strangely insightful. Suit yourself.
Love
Have you ever wondered what love is?
Is it the joy that comes from togetherness?
Or the pain that seperation brings?
The hurt that must end a fight.
Or the little whisperings, the sweet nothings?
Or is it the faith that seems so fragile,
The suspicions and the doubts in the mind?
Or maybe the little gestures that make a day
The hugs, the kisses and the kind?
Is it the broken promises?
Words spoken, but never meant
Or is it the heartfelt vows of eternity,
Of staying together, till the very end?
Is it the little gifts, the wondrous surprises,
The smiles that they bring on that special one's face?
Or those intimate moments, stolen from time,
The lilting dances, the music at slow pace?
Is love to be found in the mundane things,
The little tokens strewn upon our path?
Or is it to be searched for in the grand scheme of things,
That special feeling, that you never before had?
But no, love is not any of these
Its something else, heavenly and divine
Its not the emotions that change face each day
Its the belief that is in your heart entwined.
Its not about the fleeting experiences
Joy, hurt, elation, hatred
Its about that belief, buried deep down
That nothing can ever, on your heart, tread
Its not about wanting all the happiness in the world
Nor about hoping that it all goes fine
Its about knowing that even through the rough patches,
When all else fails, your love will still shine.
True love isn't when you can't think about anyone else,
Nor about being together all the time
Its about being able to go on with life
Because you are so complete within.
Love isn't in the big things of life,
Those experiences which last but awhile
Its in the tiniest of places,
Those littlest of memories that will always make you smile.

Music :)
I think music should officially be tagged as man's greatest invention/discovery/art. Its beyond awesome. The way music can turn everything around is amazing. Change a depressing day into one that can be survived or transform a dreary one into a joyful blur of happy moments. Discovered quite a lot of music today. Well, atleast a decent amount compared to what I've discovered over the past 6 months anyway. Some old yet unexplored and some new. But the discoveries that made my day were two. I don't think either of them are outstanding songs by themselves but I loved them for their crazy, carefree sort of feel.
Listen to World Turning by Fleetwood Mac when you need energy/want to be lifted into high spirits in general. And Mad As Rabbits by Panic! At The Disco when you just want to feel wonky. Its a crazy, crazy song but then that's what I loved it for.
