From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There’s more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
Some say eat or be eaten
Some say live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give
In the circle of life
It’s the wheel of fortune
It’s the leap of faith
It’s the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life
Some of us fall… by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars
There’s far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
People come, people go. There are so many people that comes into our lives everyday. There are some that stays a while, some that you just say an occasional “hi” or “bye” and some that you just can’t get rid of them (these are usually your best buddies). No matter how long a person stays in your life, they do play a part in our lives.
In my life, there are a few very significant ones. These are the people that made my life change drastically. Some changes are good, some just made my life miserable. Whether it’s good or bad, I do believe that everything happen for a reason. It is the reason to who I am this very day.
My parents, Joseph and Mabel… for bringing me up and paying through my college years. Without them, I will not know what is the meaning of responsibility, independence, patience and kindness.
My godsister and her daughter, Jasmine and Daphne… for being a family to me, for giving me lessons on how to be a mom in the future (cheeky Daphne). Without them, I wouldn’t really know how it feels to have a sister, or have someone to play with me while I was young (not that I’m too old now).
My best friend, Celine… for being there when I needed support, when I needed a shoulder to cry on. For listening to me whining about all the crap that has happen to me. One of the few people that knows me really well. Without her, I wouldn’t have anyone to turn to during the darkest moments of my life.
My ex-boss, Shaza… for being a difficult boss yet understanding. For teaching me on how to be a good web developer, for bringing me to Bali (that was fun!) and currently a good friend that listens and advice me. Without her, I wouldn’t know how to do certain things in my life.
My ex-lovers, (can’t really list out all of them)… for being there with me, for having fun and sweet moments with me. To call me every night and tutoring me, to wake me up every morning and wait for me to get ready for classes, to cook for me after every class and to teach me about life. Without them, I wouldn’t know what is love and how it feels like to be heartbroken.
My monsters, (people that breaks me occasionally)… for giving me so many headaches and stress. For making me stronger and wiser, for letting me know who my true friends are.
Those are some of the few significant people that plays an important part in my life. Like the saying goes, “if it doesn’t kill you, it’ll only make you stronger”.
Today is the 4th day of the event. It has been hectic, tired and stressful. As usual the first few days would be rather rough but once I get a hang of things, it is definitely easier.
I also get to join one of the boats and witness the race this year. This time, I didn’t join the navy boat, I join the starter’s boat. Fuh! For those of you that is not sure what’s a starter’s boat, it’s the main boat. The boat that counts the time, puts up the flags, determine the distance and races. I not only get to join this boat, but I get to “drive” the boat. The marine officers were rather nice to me. They thought me how to look at the compass, and they also showed me around the boat. They took me to where they sleep, where they cook, it was a total different experience compared to last year’s.
Although I didn’t get to see so much of Langkawi this trip, but I think it’s still worth it. I feel kinda sad to leave soon but also at the same time relief that everything is coming to an end. I want to specially mention that the Royal Langkawi Yacht Club has made my stay a very pleasant one. Maybe I should return next year to be a volunteer instead of a webmaster.
