The faster the treadmill...

Sun goes down, sun comes up
Days can drown in a plastic cup
In this town
In this town

Don't know how, don't know when
Something came but it left again
And I'm down
On this town

'Cause no matter what I see
People love to disagree

Every time I say what I want to be
Someone says that's not how it's going to be
Come on, baby, quit your dreaming
Grab your things, the train is leaving
Time to pick that somewhere you want to go
Get there quick or drown in the undertow
Come on baby, time is wasting
Choose a wheel and get to racing

Sun goes up and down again
Hard to stop feeling broken in
And worn down
By this town

All the same
You find me here
Placing blame and escaping fear and self-doubt
And this town

But no matter where I go
People love to tell me, "No"

Every time I say what I want to be
Someone says that's not how it's going to be
Come on, baby, quit your dreaming
Grab your things, the train is leaving
Time to pick that somewhere you want to go
Get there quick or drown in the undertow
Come on, baby, time is wasting
Choose a wheel and get to racing

Every time I say what I want to be
Someone says that's not how it's going to be
Come on baby, quit your dreaming
Grab your things, the train is leaving
And if you feel like nobody understands
You just smile and pray that they clap their hands
Come on, baby, drown your sorrow
Work today and live tomorrow
Time to pick that somewhere you want to go
Get there quick or drown in the undertow
Come on baby, time is wasting
Choose a wheel and get to racing

Just gotten over the...incident.
I can't really say I've fully gotten over it, but it'll have to do.
I'll really get over it, and laugh it off when that day comes.

Anywhoo. That song above is "The Faster The Treadmill" by I Fight Dragons.
I think this song pretty sums up what I feel now, after what has happened.
I guess life will always be antagonistic - will always find ways to bring you down when you have all these aspirations and dreams.
But in the end, I guess we just have to keep on dreaming.
'Cause nothing will be accomplished if we stopped dreaming.
We'll just have to take our chances.
It's ok to feel sad about failure.
But we cannot dwell on it too much, as life still continues to go on.

I'll just have to enjoy life's ups and downs.
And in the end, I'll prove it.
I'll prove to the entire world that I can make it with that kind of result.
I'm still kinda sad, but I'll be fine. :)

Also, before I sign off,
I'd like to thank those people who were there to comfort me (you should probably know who you are but I'll say it nonetheless)
Candy, Siew Yan, Erika, Eunice, Sylvina, Chun Xi (my PW leader!), Lynn, Melissa, Brenda, Hui Bing, Shi Min, Si Hui
and probably a few others who I forgot to mention.
Also, thanks to my family (who probably won't see this), for being there, for telling me it ain't the end yet, and for all the encouragement and help.

You people are awesome...Thanks so much. :)

Don't worry, I'll be fine.
Trust me.
