Two Decades and then a Week to soak it all in.

Had an amazing 20th birthday last weekend! Since my birthday is on Valentine's Day and most of my friends are not really acquainted with one another, it seemed fitting to have brought everyone together in one pub for a suh-weet Valentine mashup to celebrate the day!

However, the week (although it felt like an eternity) that would follow brought a dense amount of assignments, tests, and exams D: Now that that's over and done with, I'm taking advantage of this Reading Week to soak in all the good stuff, and to purge myself of all the stress from exams.

To those of you who still have exams post-Reading-Week, Godspeed! The worst is almost over.

Wish Upon a Snowflake

Snowflakes are twinkling like stars in the sky;
The wind whirls them around as it breathes out a sigh.
And as I gaze up, I am widely grinning,
'Cause it brings me back to the days of star spinning.
Though not a star in the sky's to be found,
I wish upon a snowflake as it floats to the ground.
What I truly wish for is renewal
of peace and love, not just petroleum fuel.

A snowflake is so humble and pure
I'd faithfully turn to it to find a cure.
'Cause humble and pure is what we should be
Just try it out, and you shall see.
And should it reach the ground below,
That snowflake was blessed just moments ago.
So even if there are no stars tonight
You can wish upon a snowflake's might.
