"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

Meaning in my Life

As i sit here at my table in hall..looking at the pic we took at our own FOC..the pic that holds the group we know as Zilos..The reminiscence of the past year flashes through my all-so-tired head...

The happy times...the sad times...
The rough times...the smooth times...
The times that just slipped away without a whisper...
The times that i wish cld come back...
The times that i wish din happen...

iTunes is so coincidentally playing "You're the Inspiration" by Chicago..

"You know our love was meant to be...
The kind of love that lasts forever..."

What was it that was ever meant to be?

"And I need you here with me..."

Who is it, again?

"From tonight until the end of time,
You should know, everywhere I go..."

Time nv stops..life shdnt either..with all that ups and downs...who's walking alongside me?

"You're always on my mind, in my heart...
In my soul..."

Ah yes...the important pple in my life...etched in my mind, kept in my heart, sealed within my soul..

"You're the meaning in my life...
You're the inspiration...
You bring feeling to my life...
You're the inspiration..."

So what exactly is the meaning in my life?Who exactly is my inspiration?Just exactly, why am i here?

"Wanna have you near me...
I wanna have you hear me sayin'
No one needs you more that I need you..."

You? Me? Him? Her? Them?
Who?

"And I know, yes I know that it's plain to see..
We're so in love when we're together..."

Yeaah~Right...

"And I know that I need you here with me...
From tonight until the end of time...
You should know, everywhere I go..."

I have lived..so much for others...when shd i live for myself?
I just need...someone...
To fill this empty void...To take it all away...
Or rather, to put it all in...

As i sit here at my table in hall..looking at the pic we took at our own FOC..the pic that holds the group we know as Zilos..The reminiscence of the past year flashes through my all-so-tired head...

JJ, FJ, Hock, XM, ZW, JM, Ivan, Isaac, Jerome, HM, Thanda, KaLeng, KT, QF, Remy, BY, Huimin, Des, Agnes, Sofi, Geri, Y.........ou...

Me...

"Always on my mind, in my heart in my soul..."
