The first song I have chosen to start my blog with is 纪念品 by Hey Girl. 纪念品 means a memorial gift and I am sure there is at least one memorial gift that each of us hold dearest to our hearts. And often, we have many many memorial gifts that we eventually forget its existence.

This song by Hey Girl is more of a story about a girl who is very nice to this guy but this guy that she likes likes somebody else. I believe that love relationships can be the most amazing relationships in the world. How can two people with no connections (not siblings who live together, not family who share the same blood) love each other so much even so to die for the one that they love dearly? But love relationships are not given to everyone in the world when they're born. We live to search for the right one in our life.

A lot of my Singapore friends would soon be entering University life where they study to prepare themselves for their career, and their bright future. Having schooled in Australia, I got into University about half a year before they do. I think University in Singapore seems very interesting because they get orientation camps, hall camps, etc. I am not sure if University is going to be for them what it has been for me. I have pretty much enjoyed University. To me, Uni life is like a transition from a girl into a woman. For the past twelve years of my schooling, my mum has always believed that an all girls' environment is better and safer for me. And true too, because of such a schooling environment, I have met so many great girlfriends and best friends who still mean so much to me regardless of the physical distance that separates us.

I admit that coming to University has been very distracting for me. It feels like I am being thrown into a totally strange environment. Well of course that has been guys that attracted me, that is a good fact to know, because it means I am normal. But reality also reminds me that I am not like the others, I don't deserve as much love as the others do. This is the point in my life where my friends around me are all starting to have girlfriends/boyfriends. They might eventually get married. And in fact one of my course mates is engaged and getting married next year. Would I have to end up attending weddings single or would I be the one that brings my kids and family to my friend's wedding? I am probably more of the former than latter.

A lot of people are probably going to say to me that I shouldn't be silly and I should believe that one day my love will come, but because it hasn't happened, it is hard to dream even. Today I dedicate this song to all out there who is waiting for the love of their life and may they meanwhile treasure the people around them.

P.S. Today's video doesn't match the song. It just has the lyrics which I find pretty meaningful.

“眼泪是我爱情的纪念品”
