Before:
Metal Mouth
After:
TRANSFORMED INTO DARLIE!!!!!
4.5k spent over a course of 1 yr and 11 months. come to think of it, it was quite fast, but the pain and ulcers and bleeding and dull aches are something that i'll never forget for a long time. feels gd to run my tongue over my teeth and feel smooth sliding instead of rough hard metallic surfaces.

At The Beginningby Donna Lewis & Richard MarxWe were strangers, starting out on a journey
Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through
Now here we are, I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
No one told me, I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start
And life is a road and I wanna keep goin'
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I want to be standing
At the beginning with you
We were strangers on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
And life is a road and I wanna keep goin'
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I want to be standing
At the beginning with you
Knew there was somebody somewhere
I need love in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing is going to tear us apart
Life is a road and I wanna keep goin
Love is a river I wanna keep flowin
Starting out on a journey
In the end I wanna be standing
at the beginning
With you
i had rehearsal for the award ceremony again today. am in the song/pledge grp, and we sang the above song as well as Emil Chau's 'Peng You' ( latter was quite cheesy with all the expected hey-heys and arm-waving, would have preferred Xi Shui Chang Liu but well, majority rules) . was singing halfway when the lyrics suddenly struck me as rather meaningful and germane for me. haiz, had sudden waves of sadness and it doesnt feel too good. from periods of being in limbo and wallowing in the doldrums to having to deal with all the adminstrative stuff and pre-departure preparation is can be overwhelming and unsettling at times.
on the other hand there's a lot of things to look forward to at the same time. phew... have to look forward and move on, must learn to let go...
