Day 133

I changed my guitar strings today and
gave her a good polish

Doesn't she look beautiful???
I've got plans of selling her here in the UK
Perhaps with the Pounds that I earn, I could
get something new and better when I return in SG?

But after changing the strings and playing on it...
It felt so good on the fingers

I love looking out of my window somehow, though its nothing spectacular, it has 'birthed' many tunes in my head, threw me into deep thoughts,
and I just enjoy looking out


Recently, I have been watching lots of J-dramas and animes.
I used to laugh at my sister for watching them...
But now that I'm stuck home so often, I began watching them and
I love it

It was kind of sad that every Good Drama, anime has to come
to an end. Sometimes I wish

'If only the story could carry on forever'

'If only that character didn't die in the story'

So, I was looking at the London skies and thought to myself


It seems that so many things will come to an end someday

Good dramas and anime has to end.



Music to our ears will fade and we all return back home


Our parents, siblings and friends will not always be with us



Our youth, strength and energy will soon 'wither'

Even the mountain that looked so majestic today may
be weathered or degradate years down the road

My time in London will soon come to an end as well



And we learn to cherish these things because they might be gone someday

We cherish our friends by seeing them off the airport
when they go abroad because the relationship means alot to us.



We cherish our youth and strength by making sure
we play our hearts out and expand all our energy while we
are still young and can make it

I cherish my time here in London because the next time
when I return, i will just be a mere tourist, not a student
studying in this beautiful city


See, we cherish things because they come to an end someday

But, it seems like, even though we know that some things
are eternal and goes on forever,
We intentionally choose to 'not cherish' or rather
'take for granted' these things since we know that
it's always there when I'm in need

'Hai yah.. since its eternal anyway right?'

Help me not be this way please
