Countdown

The countdown clock is ticking

it will eventually goes off

but beneath the dark clouds 

born and rise of the eternity light

that is the call

when you know everything will die someday somehow

Right now

standing at the peak of current stage of life

nostalgia keeps on beating the fragile piece of mind

reminding myself that the light is dimming 

we might rise like a phoenix at the next stage

or maybe heard no more 

Strange is our situation upon Earth

each of us comes for a short visit

not knowing why

yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose

From the standpoint of daily life

however

there is one thing we do know

that man is here for the sake of other man

Realising the fact that our life's too short

if you don't stand for anything

you will for for everything

life is short and we have never too much time

for gladdening the hearts of those 

who are traveling the dark journey with us

we need to be swift to love

make haste to be kind

We are not here to please everyone

Please all, and you'll please none

make everything counts

as the graduation clocks is ticking less than a year time

Lost wealth may be replaced by industry

lost knowledge may be replaced by study

lost health may be replaced by medicine

but lost time is gone forever

Pre-Final Year Syndrome

The 9-week internship has gone with the wind

and the fact that the industrial experience had enriched your life

it has become the past tense

and I'm so ready to write down the brand new chapter

looking back the past three years that I've survived

though the road is long and filled with f**king obstacles

I've grown so much

it is definitely a life-changing phase

Expectation and hope is 2 different entities

When you expect, you want that to happen so badly

if nothing turns out, you get the devastation and disappointment

but

when you hope, you can always change your wish

if nothing turns out, you get to customise your hope

As for me

I'm doing both all the time

I expect and I hope

towards the end of my university life

I want these 4 years' life to go crazy all the way 

Maybe it's about getting the qualifications to get a job

but it's also all about getting yourself ready for the real world

finally 

having a year left to prove that

probably I will be stuck doing my FYP

but it's not gonna stop right there

this bitch (pointing at myself) is gonna enjoy to the max

and 

I ain't no prove to anyone but myself

not that I'm deprived of

but it's just the way it should be

so I'm ready and I have what it takes to be on top 

The Middles

How many times that during a conversation that

you have been inspired

or somehow motivated

to carry out something

Just look upon the pain in the past

knowing that every little things that you did

can actually trigger the trauma to haunt you back

I've been in the situation where I stood still 

and of course the almighty fall moment

the ups and downs

the bittersweet

I guess I've tasted'em all

It's always surprising that how some people can just intact closely with their hopes

while some still breathing in the null air

and move on

maybe they've been inspired

or somehow motivated

perhaps the baby step is insignificant

and my ignorance nature can't help but miss the point

and maybe one day

that's where all started to make sense

our live 

there's an opening 

there's an ending

and many middles in between them

God may lay the plan

we just have to grab the chance 

and define our version of 'middles' 

ANTM Cycle 21 - Prelude

Let us just put it this way

If you are an avid fan of America's Next Top Model

or the America's Next Top Model: Guys & Girls 2

so what's new in this cycle 

since 2003

we all know that ANTM had changed their panel of judges

several times

but Cycle 21 guess who's back?

the Goth PR Maven Kelly Cutrone

Kelly Cutrone with scary laugh

new judge

Asian photographer Yu Tsai

and Runway Diva Extraordinary

Ms Jay

Ms Jay with his/her grand entrance as always

I'm like fangirl " OMG~~~~~"

before we head to the new cycle

Let's recap on some of the girls that are memorable (for me)

ANTM past cycle winners (Adrianne, Yoanna, Eva, Naima, Nicole L., Dani, CariDee, Jaslene, Saleisha, Whitney,
McKey, Teyona, Nicole F., Krsita, Ann, Brittani, Lisa, Sophie, Laura and Jourdan)

looking back all the girls that have won

congrats to them

though some of them actually were not deserved to win

whatever

but some of these girls are certainly memorable

in a way

ANTM Chris

first up

we have from Cycle 15

Chris 

initially entered the competition with her sister, Terra

but along the competition

this tick-tick-tick-flash girl had made it further to the Top 5

she's goofy and real

ANTM Angelea

Ms Angelea 716

She's my goddess

out of so many girls there

She's real, she's tough

she has the swag

though she did not win both Cycle 14 and Cycle 17

(that's unfair)

she's the one who will make the impact

to the industry

ANTM Dominique

This girl

Dominique

is kinda pathetic during Cycle 10

she was mistaken as someone else's mom during the photoshoot

(Ouch~)

but she set on fire when she returned in Cycle 17

yet people still remembered her CoverGirl commercial

when the girls were asked to do a commercial in Italian

she just made something up when she lost the words

something like "La Brazilia~" (wtf XD)

ANTM Sheena

She's from Harlem

and she has the attitude like a black girl

and she is breast-fake

what else~~

She's one of my favorite Asian from ANTM series

this unexpected Kimora-Lee-look-alike girl 

will definitely laid a superb impact 

so from the past cycles

there are still many girls who are definitely memorable

so the question now is

Ready for ANTM Cycle 21??

ANTM Bre

is "Hell ya!" from me XD

Twisted Routes

Just when you know exactly what you want

another opportunity turns up

you are now in dilemma

wondering and thinking

should I carry on

or take chances on this

it's funny when you surrender your whole fate to God

in return

chances or obstacles just keep on coming

you have absolutely no idea what to prepare

you just keep on charging

usually you'll bump into the rocks or quicksands

when you can learn and stand up

what if you met fairies or angels

they show you the light to another side of the route

you can back out as you never know 

what is there waiting for you 

behind the bundles of glittering lights

it might be another dead end

which eventually

you gotta start from scratch if you wanna the alternative

so what is the chances that you are given these lights in your life

the key question is

will you keep on going your glorious path?

or will you take the second choice?

both eventually ends with different outcome 

but share the common thing

the possibilities and the unexpected

I have absolutely no idea what will happen

I just gotta keep my swag

Angelea (ANTM Cycle 17)
