Yesterday, I was young.
I ran around with my water tumbler in hand, with not a single care in mind, with pebbles beneath my feet.
I had nightmares about volcanoes, with lava pink and fluffy, bubbling its way into my bedroom, taking away my favourite shoe.
I went to school in the day, and to the courts at night; I started picking up tennis balls; I started playing tennis.
I got stitches on my chin when I fell and hit the faucet, and I watched The Lion King.
There was some piano involved.
There was some basketball involved.
There was some dancing involved.
There were a whole lot of friends involved.
Today, I am still young.
I am here in junior college; secondary school, primary school, kindergarten... they were all a thing of the past.
I met many new friends, all intelligent, kind, and fun, but I'm glad to say that I still have my dear old friends close to heart.
I have learnt much from the brilliant minds, the harsh tennis training sessions, and the god-like musical talents that overwhelm this place.
In a couple of hours, I will be wearing my uniform one last time to sit for one of the most important papers in my life.
In a couple of hours, my 2 years of education in Singapore will come down to one A Level Physics Paper 1.
In a couple of hours, I will find myself asking, "Is there more? For it all happened so fast.. too fast."
Tomorrow, I would've grown up a tad, but I am still young.
As my life begins to unfold before me...
It snowballs into something bigger.
I start making sense of this world...
Perhaps by trying to make as little sense as possible.
My friends, who knows where we'll go?
Is it down the same path? Probably not.
What am I going to do?
Who knows? It is still unwritten.

Yesterday, it was clear cut.

Today, it is still structured;
but today, the lines begin to blur.
Tomorrow, I would've grown up a tad, but I am still young.

Tomorrow, it is all bleary;
tomorrow, the roads will be long and winding;
but oh, tomorrow, I will seem to have all the answers,
though along the way, I will probably know not more than I ever did,
but hopefully, I will find my way through to the end.
When that day comes, the day after tomorrow,
hopefully, I remain young.
