weeee!: slow down you crazy child;

Slow down you crazy child

You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart tell me why
You are still so afraid?

Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only
so many hours in a day

But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you an just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
When will you realize...Vienna waits for you

Slow down you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be
Before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight
Too bad but it's the life you lead
You're so ahead of yourself
That you forfeit what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong

But you know you can't always see when you're right
You got your passion you got your pride
BUt don't you know only fools are satisfied?
Dream on but don't imagine they'll al come true
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you

Slow down you crazy child
Take the phone off the hook
And disappeaar for a while
It's alright you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize...
Vienna waits for you.

omg it's the 28th of december.. i turn 18 in 3 days!

it feels like i've been waiting so long..the big 18 heralds a new chapter of freedom in my life as well as the perks that come with being "of age" - no more fake IDs, plus being able to drive myself around, and my friends stop getting declined at liquor stores on account of me forgetting that i'm underaged and walking in.
but now that it's a mere 3 days away i find the excitement of it has somewhat dulled. perhaps it's because i haven't properly waited for it and stored up all the experiences being 18 has to offer.. for after i actually turn 18. i've tasted and tried, and now there is nothing much left to look forward to.

the other day i was talking to someone about the future (it is one of my favourite topics now) simply because i am so excited for the future ahead! not the immediate one, but beyond and after that..i find myself daydreaming about the days to come.

this year has been so unexpected in a good way. it's turned out.. beyond what i could have hoped for when i came into uni. i was told that you find many "circumstance" friends; those whom you befriend simply because two people happen to be in the same place at the same time. and yet now i can say that i didn't find friends - i've found a family. this year for mehas been enriched by trips - to rye and to gold coast, flavoured with drama and goss and personally challenged me in the sense that i've had to consider alot of things that i would never have previosuly opened my mind to. it is truly a blessing to find people whom you can talk to about anything and everything under the sun

something is always happening and i love it!
i am triply happy of the assurance that all the wonderful things that happened this year can only get better.

back to the future (lol) i was saying that i feel like i'm poised to take flight into wonderful panorama of experiences that life has to offer. opportunity beckons at every corner and the world is an oyster! i want to inhale the sights, sounds, flavours and emotions. i am brimming with anticipation and sometimes it feels like all of me isn't enough to contain all of what i want to be. i think that this year, i learnt to dare to dream. they're not big dreams but nevertheless, i now see them looming within my grasp, whereas in the past i would have let go of them to float away, too high to reach.

i hope that 2009 brings me a set of wings to fly :D
