I guess each and everyone of us have a song that tends to elicit memories. Listening to Kevin Kern, I can't help but recall the carefree days I have back in University. Back when life was so hectic, yet ever so fufilling. Back when club meetings were so long, yet comaderie kept things going.

I remember the Orientation days, when we spent days and nights labouring to construct our float. Our labour of pride, and our expression of identity and fellowship as a faculty.

I remember the days in hostel, enjoying communal dinners, chatting through the nights with fellow hostelites.

I remember Project Angel V, those carefree and wonderful days in India. Where life is so simple yet so fufilling. When smiles of the little kids living at the slums were enough to brighten our days.

I remember,
And I miss.

I miss my hostel room, where I had a bird's eye view of the campus from way up where I loomed.

I miss the late night jogs around NUS. The cold wind in my face and the moonlight that I chased.

I miss the club and the SCMC. The people that shaped my varsity life, the ones that held the key.

I miss,
And I celebrate.

I celebrate my life. For what I have done, for how i have lived.
Because in having lived those memories, I am privileged to remember and grateful to miss. Leading my life where I want to be, living my life how I want it to be.

I celebrate.

Because at the end of the day, it is how we lived our lives that matters.

To my Volleyball Team that may be reading this post, know that whatever you do in your life, there will come a time when, like me, you will remmember, you will miss and hopefully, you will celebrate. Seize every day of your life with tenacity, live every day of your life with hope.

Dare to dream. There will be times when you lose sight of your goals. There will be times when the odds seems stacked against you. But if you remember to dream, it will be the beacon to guide you through.

Dare to dream, and never stop dreaming. So that one day, when you hear a song, you too can remember, you too can miss and more importantly, you too can celebrate.

Carpe Diem.
