Secret War Journal[31 December 2017]
It is amazing how fast time passes when you are occupied with things to do. One moment, you are setting goals for the year 2017, and poof, I am now writing a post to conclude the year 2017. Wow.
Despite how fast one may feel time may have passed, it is undeniable that this year is as eventful as 2016, if not more.
For 2017, I would say the lesson to take away will be
Know what you want, strive for what you want.
This is especially important as I enter my final year in NTU. With graduation near the corner, I am sure many of my peers will be also be thinking what they want to do after graduation.
I remember when I first decided to take on the double degree programme in NTU, my initial aspiration was to work in a bank. After the first semester, that narrowed to an Investment Bank. Since then, my aspirations have since changed to being in a tech firm. I will talk more about that in details but first...
I would like you to introduce someone important to me to you all. For most of you, this is pretty old news already.
Ta-da! A sheep enjoying his unicorn float!
Okay, I kid. I meant my girlfriend, Joan. :)
That's her natural state - sleeping. HAHAHAS! :p
She is probably the best thing that happened to me for the last 1 year. I found a life companion to my rants and random angst. (Oops)
*Psst don't tell her that or else she runs away* o.O
Should've stayed, were there signs, I ignored?
Can I help you, not to hurt, anymore?
We saw brilliance, when the world, was asleep
There are things that we can have, but can't keep
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
The reminders, pull the floor from your feet
In the kitchen, one more chair than you need, oh
And you're angry, and you should be, it's not fair
Just 'cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it, isn't there
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
Well I do
Thank you for being our companion during our dark days.
Breathing you in when I want you out
Finding our truth in a hope of doubt
Lying inside our quiet drama
Wearing your heart like a stolen dream
Opening skies with your broken keys
No one can blind us any longer
We'll run where lights won't chase us
Hide where love can save us
I will never let you go
We'll run where lights won't chase us
Hide where love can save us
I will never let you go
Wearing your heart like a stolen dream
Opening skies with your broken keys
No one can blind us any longer
We'll run where lights won't chase us
Hide where love can save us
I will never let you go
We'll run where lights won't chase us
Hide where love can save us
I will never let you go
We'll run
We'll run
We'll run
Raise up a cup up for all my day ones
Two middle fingers for the haters
Life's only getting greater
Straight up from nothing we go
Higher than the highest skyscraper
No Little League, we major
The proof is in the paper
We put the good in the good in the good life
We put the good in the good in the good life
We put the bad in the past, now we alright (Eazy)
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy (Kehlani, I got you)
Ayy, yeah
And it's a feelin' that I can't explain
How you make it and your team still stay the same
Stay down from the jump and they never change
Man, this a moment I could never trade, yeah
I told my moms not to stress no more
Go hit the Bentley store and no credit card debts no more (Love you mom)
I bought the crib and it's in escrow now
So you don't ever have to worry about how you gon' pay rent no more
I put my team in position, now they makin' a killin'
Stackin' blue faces straight to the ceilin'
Out in Vegas I'm with 'em
Orderin' bottles of that Ace when they send 'em
'Til there ain't enough space up on the table to fit 'em
Go ahead and
Raise up a cup up for all my day ones
Two middle fingers for the haters
Life's only getting greater
Straight up from nothing we go
Higher than the highest skyscraper
No Little League, we major
The proof is in the paper
We put the good in the good in the good life (The good life)
We put the good in the good in the good life (I said the good life)
We put the bad in the past, now we alright (We alright)
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy, yeah
Pour some Clicquot in a glass, have a toast to success
No lookin' back from here, no more bein' broke and distressed
I put my heart into this game like I opened my chest
We only pray for more M's while you hope for the best
We make these plays, man I'm finessin' these checks
Time's up for everybody, I'm collectin' on debts
And I swear this champagne just tastes better on jets
I'm just out here bein' great, man, this as real as it gets
I put my team in position, now they makin' a killin'
Stackin' blue faces straight to the ceilin'
Out in Vegas I'm with 'em
Orderin' bottles of that Ace when they send 'em
'Til there ain't enough space up on the table to fit 'em
Go ahead and
Raise up a cup up for all my day ones
Two middle fingers for the haters
Life's only getting greater
Straight up from nothing we go
Higher than the highest skyscraper
No Little League, we major (Yeah)
The proof is in the paper (You know)
We put the good in the good in the good life (The good life)
We put the good in the good in the good life (I said the good life)
We put the bad in the past, now we alright (We alright)
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy
Damn right, from the bottom we rise
So high, now we cover sky lights
We're building an empire
We owe it all to each other
Just look at us right now, destined
We're so good right now, legend
Here's to you and I
Raise 'em to the sky
We put the good in the good in the good life
We put the good in the good in the good life
We put the bad in the past, now we alright
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
We put the good in the good in the good life (The good life)
We put the good in the good in the good life (I said the good life)
We put the bad in the past, now we alright (We alright)
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy
The good life
Our mother always used to sing our praises from the rooftops
Although we caused her trouble, you and I were thick as thieves
You fought your demons and deserved to have succeeded further
But you slipped and fell my little Kabaneri girl
Your will was stronger than any of all my powers
Your voice of reason, like a soothing stream beside my bed
When I was terrified you'd talk to me for hours
I wanna hear your voice now
What would you say?
Move on, cause I'm gone
Now you're talking to a shadow
Look there! People so scared
Hit your mark with every last arrow
Be here, ready your spear
The path you have got to follow
Is more deadly each year
Their sins were paid in blood so go!
Woh oo oh oo oo oo oh
The sins of all our fathers
Woh oo oh oo oo oo oh
We've paid enough in battle
Woh oo oh oo oo oo oh
This is your chance for freedom!
Lots of love your next of kin
You always had my back when everything around turned scary
Words never said to you ah damn my over bloated pride!
You were the best of all the best that any world could show me
Now we fight a war, forever you will be inside
You showed me strength that I had never seen before
It lit fire under me; I seek to quote the words you said
When I was terrified you'd talk to me for hours
I listen to your voice now
What would you say?
Move on, cause I'm gone
Now you're talking to a shadow
Look there! People so scared
Hit your mark with every last arrow
Be here, ready your spear
The path you've got to follow
Is more deadly each year
What would you say?
Move on, cause I'm gone
Now you're talking to a shadow
Look there! People so scared
Hit your mark with every last arrow
Be here, ready your spear
The path you have got to follow
Is more deadly each year
Their sins were paid in blood so go!
Woh oo oh oo oo oo oh
The sins of all our fathers
Woh oo oh oo oo oo oh
We've paid enough in battle
Woh oo oh oo oo oo oh
This is your chance for freedom!
Lots of love, your next of kin

The Year 2017. Interestingly, the direction to move towards gotten murkier as I near graduation. With almost a year left to graduation, it is now time to think really hard. Really hard as to what I wish to achieve when I graduate. This wishlist will be much harder to conceive, as a result.
Attend networking sessions
Take a course (time to upgrade myself)
Clear IPPT (Time to be fit again)
Learn Driving (Probably change instructor)
Go on an Overseas trip with friends (I think I need it...)
