Twist

I've always wanted to believe that certain things happen for a reason.

Just like the way i got into dentistry after i got into science.

If not for the fact that i went science, i wouldn't have met awesome friends, have a wider social circle and have a bunch of people i can depend on when i'm down.


If not for the fact that i got in later, i would not have treasured this opportunity as much, i would not have worked as hard, and i would not have been as humbled.

If i've never gotten in, i wouldn't have gone to project lokun, met all my fun and crazy med friends,


i wouldn't have gone for project sabai, wouldn't have experienced something which changed my life so much,

wouldn't have met people who'll actually make me look forward to school.

I wouldn't have met him, her, them and everyone else.

I wouldn't have felt emotions i've nv felt before.

Overwhelming emotions which takes over your body,

makes ur hand shiver and your body quiver,makes your heart ache and which tugs at your stomach.

Emotions which makes you jump in joy, hope with madness, crazy with laughter and those which tingles and lingers in your heart giving you excitment and nervousness.

Also, i wouldn't have experienced so much, gone through so much.

My perspective, mentality and mindset changed.

I've aged, i've grown wiser, i've become more tolerant of things i cannot change.

I've also become more assertive, ready to defend what i stand for and more ready to voice out my opinions.

I've learnt to appreciate people, appreciate life, appreciate sleep, appreciate my personal time and appreciate what ever i have now.

i've learnt to stop and think, stop and feel.

Stop and realise that the world goes round no matter what you do and that taking a deep breathe sometimes is just so comforting.

If i didn't choose NUS over NTU,

Things would have been so different.

The grass may have been greener on the other side,

but i prefer the brown ones here.

At least i know it's gonna be time for harvest soon.

Thank you for giving me this twist in life.
