I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much
I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy
Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...
i am back in Singapore. but somehow i dun feel a sense of satisfaction having went overseas for a holiday and come back and that is from Japan! not sure why. and i'm not even sure if im glad coming back or not. no - cos everything is back to normal again. yes - cos everything is back to normal again. ironic. contradicting. maybe a sense of relief cos of the sense of familiarity and comfort level. that comfort zone that we are all so attracted to. yet there's this sense in me wanting something different, exciting, out of the mediocre yet afraid to find so. and also not knowing where and wat i can do. sighz.. i guess thats y humans cant never be satisfied.
anyway, the trip to japan was great. an interesting experience despite the v tiring travel across the country. 1st time that i went backpacking with my sis. i wun consider it free & easy coz hotels are not included. we just got an air ticket and railway pass and off we go, of cos, not forgetting to look for accommodations for backpackers. everything was only settled the day before we leave. the itinerary, the rooms... even my luggage was only finished packing that fateful day im flying. ha. tok abt last minute and procrastination.
ok.. will update on the journey i had in japan again soon!
i can finally escape from reality for a week... well... about 1o to 12 days... haha escape from my parents escape from my work escape from the noise and hustle of this world from its harshness
i noe is escaping... but cant i be let out once in a while...
