where thoughts materialise.

So we're into the sixth version of my blog after the last version hung around for a year or so.

Now, a bit of info on this image. This photo was taken one lovely spring afternoon, featuring the iconic Old Well from the UNC Chapel Hill campus. I would like to think of this image as a tribute to my time in UNC Chapel Hill, the awesome friends I made and the memories I now hold dear.

A milestone in my life indeed.

I've dropped the tagboard cos its useless and taking eons to load. But thanks to Angela who helped me set it up, I still do like and will miss the pink interface.

So yeah, it's the sixth one you fellas!

Yours.

At some point in life, we would come to the realisation that we can't have everything.

A junture where we recognise that a choice has to be made, and that decision couldn't have been more difficult or mind-tearing. Living with consequences then after.

A time where we discern that the world just can't revolve around ourselves anymore, and that some things are just not within our grasp, like the passing on of a loved one or how life can be so brutally unjust.

And gradually but surely, we find ourselves having to make sacrifices and fathom that someone else's joy is indeed worthed much more than ours. And be truly happy for their bountiful gain.

And in that moment, we'd never see ourselves the same again.

We've all grown up.

Can you believe we were 16 then?

hannah here in pennsylvania.. i guess i understand your pensive mood, sort of. just wanted you to know that i'm here, and i'm glad to have you as a friend. i can't believe what i did when i was 16 either, can't believe we were ever 16. heck, right now i can't conceive of a life different from what i'm living right now in the states!

i read your entry below that had a part of it placed in coventry. i remember that too, my attic-like mind is full of musty reels of film preserved forever. i'm glad we all shared a portion of 16 together, the 4 of us, you know whom i'm referring to. i find myself not believing that time has passed us all by so quickly, and how our lives can change so fast in the span of a few days.

our friendship ought to be timeless though. drop me a tag or shout out on msn anytime. take care!
