you are the one for me.

So near, and yet so far.
There you are, just within reach.
Yet, an intangible barrier exists,
driving us apart.

I fear the dark,
not the absence of light,
but the ignorance of your feelings.
Indeed, i would give the world,
just to read your mind.

I see you every movement,
ever joyful, ever cheerful.
I delight, just to observe,
to appreciate... you.
yes, just you.

All through the day,
just to see your smile,
just to hear your voice.
your charm, charisma and enegy,
never fails to make me wonder.


yes. you are the one for me.

anyways.
so now i'm at home blogging.
that's about it for today.

another page in the life of Lukasssss. =]
to be remembered.

just a song dedicated to all my primary school frens whom i so love <3

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

yes, friends forever. <3

invest'08

well, it's been a long time since i posted.
and here goes..

Today, another chapter of the book of my life was closed.

Today, we (The BAND) had our Annual Investiture.
well, it was quite ok, and i was the emcee, along with jerald..
well... it felt quite funny, with the inevitable nostalgia...


To my sec 4 batch, i do love you oh so much.
thank you so much for all the times we have spent together,
and also for times yet to be spent..
i hope that all of us will be able to progress on to RJC as batchmates, and bandmates.
may the friendships we fostered last a lifetime,
indeed, Friends Forever. Batchmates Forever. Bandsmen. Forever.

To the band, thank you for all the joys and the sorrows we share together as a band.
thank you for everything you have done for me,
and i believe, i have gained more than you can imagine.
It has been great these four years of my life,
and i'm glad i chose this CCA..
Indeed, as Kirk said,
i believe too, that Band is T.H.E most bonding CCA in RI.
and believe me, i'm proud of it. and so should all of you.
As the next generation, i wish you enough.
enough sorrows to appreciate joy,
enough pain to appreciate elation,
enough difficulties to appreciate success.
This is my wish to you all,
i wish you all the best.
make us proud.

To Mr Oura, who will never read this,
thank you so much for your guidance and support.
though this phrase is very much cliched,
i still think it is so very accurate to phrase my gratitude towards your patience.
your patience with us, your patience with our standards, and you patience to improve us, to nurture us to be better musicians.
without you, i can say, that we definitely could not be where we are,
and i hope that you would continue to strive for the band which you so love.
i hope, that you would continue to receive the respect of the Band,
as well as their attention, and fullest effort..

Yes, as one chapter concludes, yet another begins.
to my batchmates, this is it, as far as our job in RIMB is concerned.
we've had many good memories, many, i repeat MANY hours spent together.
and i believe, it was not all wasted.
wadeva we have done, whether good or bad, at the end of it all,
is kept in our fondest memories, in my fondest memories.

indeed, i thank you all.
thank you for being the band which all so love.



as we then progress to the RJCSB, let us have many more happy memories and times!
not to mention hours xD
but that's beside the point. we know it'll all be worth it.
so,
for the rest of the year, JIAYOU!

let's do ourselves a favour by chionging EOYs!!! =]

all the best,
Student Conductor of the Raffles Institution Military Band,
Lucas.
