"At any time, one can fake a smile, and pretend that everything is all right, contrary to music, the most sincere thing that anyone can offer. There is no masquerade that music can hide behind, and it is pure."

This is one of my favourite sentences from ali's essay. I can really feel passion whilst reading the essay. And yes, it was written from the heart.

This just makes me think even more about my life and goals. Too many a time have I always reacted with a "uhhhhhhhh... huhhhh... well.. I don't really know," when asked about what I intend to do after secondary school education. To me, it is so limited studying and living in Singapore. So many types of jobs and aspirations I wanna pursue, are simply not so readily avaliable, unlike the usual and too common 8 to 6 desk-bound job. Business, business, thats basically what most Singaporeans are working for now. How bored I would feel, staring at the computer all day, making calls to clients, calculating the company's finances. I guess Im just not fit for such jobs. I guess Singapore isn't really where I wanna work in. And yet, I can't help but feel scared about going overseas alone.

What the heck, I'm only at the Olevel stage.
School, REALLY REALLY sucks.
