If Today Was Your Last Day...

Now that I'm supposedly more free with life,I shall try to payback the amount of time lost during the busy period though I doubt noone cares anyway about whatever I write here.It's been weird of late,there are so many things going on that I barely have a chance to stop and look at what's happening around me.If there's a period of my life when I can say that I have a life,this is truly it.Been going out,spending time doing whatever that needs to be done,rushing for things and praying for the time to slow down a little.Actually,it's been like that ever since the holidays and unlike all my previous holidays,this was the only in which I don't think I had enough rest.There's always something to keep me occupied,gone are the days when I wake up in the late afternoon thinking of where to go and spending the next few hours just deciding before not coming up with anything and choosing to stay home in the end to lead my normal loser of a life.I still am pretty much a loser,just that I get out of the house more frequently now to try and acquire some kind of life.At least I've got long bus rides home to help keep my thoughts in check.

I've been noticing a big change in lifestyle ever since year 2 started.This applies to both my life in school and out of school matters.Sure I was never really close to my classmates in year 1 but it's just drifting even more now and everyone's merry in their own little groups.I'm not complaining since I still do have company during breaks and all,just that my perceptions of some really flipped.For the better or worse,it's for you to decide.Outside of school,the priority being SavingSomeone,everything flipped too.Our dynamics have changed,our approach has changed and so does our image.Sure there is no denying change is bound to take place,it's just that I haven't had the chance to acknowledge all the changes around me.I still wished somethings didn't have to change because it's affecting me so much,directly or indirectly.

Life's been going at the speed of light and I simply took some things for granted,especially those things I wish didn't have to change.Now I encounter yet another scenario,a different and definitely a life-changing one.It's indeed a matter of life and death,and no,I'm not referring to Miachel Jackson though it's still a tragic story.He has no relation to me and since I wouldn't inherit anything,I wouldn't consider his death as life-changing for me.Perhaps the sinful thing for me to do is to take life for granted,I've not been spending enough time with some very important people in my life and it's such a pity really.Noone's dying by the way,or rather,everyone's dying since the clock never stops ticking.Just like how you talk to everyone and noone on Twitter and your Facebook statuses.Before you disregard this as another one of those emo posts,I shall just conclude it off with 3 simple words,life is fragile.Ignorance is bliss though temporary.What you don't know,you don't think of and so you wouldn't have to worry.

Anyway,back to my boring old not so deep self.I've been following a little bit of the H1N1 in Singapore and the last time I checked,it reached the 4 digit mark.Should it be a cause of concern?Probably.This pandemic has been going on for far too long that I just wish it would stop sometime soon though it's not likely,instead it's spreading even faster.I'm just bummed that I won't get to play the gig at TKGS next week as planned.Yes,you read it right,Tanjong Katong Girls School.Thanks H1N1,you've successfully delayed the fulfilment of one of my dreams.Talking about gigs,I must shamelessly promote about our upcoming show at Takashimaya on 19th July at 8pm.Shan't go too much into the details just yet and also,our EP launch at *Scape on August 15th.That will by far be the biggest event of my life,I've gone through so much just to make sure this event goes on as smooth as possible and sacrificed so much into the makings of this.Ah well,I shall try and update more interesting happenings in the future.Until then.


If today was your last day...


My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
(What if, what if)

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
(What if, what if)
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?
If today was your last day
(What if, what if)
If today was your last day

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the price is always worth the fight
Every second counts cause there's no second try
So live like you're never living twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
(What if, what if)

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
(What if, what if)
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?
(What if, what if)

And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
(What if, what if)
And would you find that one you're dreaming of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love
(That you'd finally fall in love)
If today was your last day

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark
By mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late
To shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are

So do whatever it takes
Cause you can't rewind
A moment in this life
Let nothing stand in your way
Cause the hands of time
Are never on your side

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?
(What if, what if)

And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
(What if, what if)
And would you find that one you're dreaming of
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love
(What if, what if)
If today was your last day
