"Wide Open Spaces"

Who doesn't know what I'm talking about
Who's never left home, who's never struck out
To find a dream and a life of their own
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone

Many precede and many will follow
A young girl's dream no longer hollow
It takes the shape of a place out west
But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed

[Chorus:]
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes

As I lay on my very comfy couch watching my newly bought "An Evening With the Dixie Chicks" DVD, for only 11 bucks from my latest fav cd shop: JB HI-FI, I couldn't help but realise that my song of the year had to be Wide Open Spaces. The song speaks about a young person leaving home and venturing out in search of a whole new life, adventure and meaning. It is also when character is molded and shaped by new challenges, obstacles, mistakes made and lessons learnt.
I truely hope that at the end of this year, when I reflect back on every entries I've made, I hope to see growth and maturity as well as breakthroughs and at least signs that I've changed and progressed.

On another sad note, I'm so incredibly sad and disappointed with myself. I can't seem to remember being in SA. Hey, its not like I had dementia and forgot that i did a year in SA, I just can't recall the feeling of being in SA, of being in the cafe, the CC where we'll all eat sweets, sleep, talk and try to concentrate, understand, laugh hysterically at either mrs leow animated chem lectures or the female maths lecturer for her horrendous pronounciation as well as jokes that either made no sense or super duper ultimately lame. However luckily i still remember playing tennis at the 4th level. We'll all be trying to train with all seriousness yet always failing, either laughing at my trademark tyco-ness or at tina tan's emo/model poses with the racket in hand. No matter how short my time in SA was, I enjoyed the company and all the experiences thoroughly, from orientation to my 1st 3 months class with 06s07 then to my permanent class of 06s12, to house comm elections, tennis competitions, ltc camp, organising racial harmony, amazing race and buying/ putting up cny decor with sam and anisha. My only regret is leaving my dear saint-tennisers, not getting to know my juniors especially my doubles partner jorraine and see nicole tear and smother her opponents with her zai-ness. Well not to mention missing amelia, lie-nette, jialin and the girlies a whole lot everyday!


On another note, last weekend was easter weekend. Decided to forfeit my newfoundglory tickets since paramore cancelled
go for easter camp.

Easter camp was fun but I didn't think it was particularly fantastic, I mean the programme and messages were really good but somehow I didn't feel like I benefitted much from it. It was certainly a good time to bond with my new cell grp mates, especially with sze tjen and tracy-pede and i ate so much easter eggs, freddo, snakes and nick yap's 'fantastic' instant noodles as well as tim tam's chinese brother, temp tin'. hahaha geddit? Anyways, the last night was the best, we had talent time but b4 that, all the victoria chairperson had to play a game : CHUBBY BUNNY!! whoo, my brother who's the chair for the new Frankston OCF played the game as well. Haha, i think he lou-ya. only stuffed 15 small mashmellow in his mouth. BUt the winner goes to STEVEN! my grp, redeemer's grp leader! whoo... then parkville choir came on and sang beautifully, go connie go! haha, but the funiest and most interesting part was who's line is it anyway performed by ocf drama. whaha, it was really good.






in the light of a 'unpredicted' event that is going to happen, this entry will be split into 2 to ensure that confidentiality will be maintained.
