The Wonderful Life-Changing Moments. I thank you. Really :)

I think its high time I do a little random reflection moment. I’m not going to think hard within the next few minutes about what I’m gonna write about. Instead, I’m just going to wax lyrical in a very random fashion, see where that takes me.
..life. Life! Now life. I’ve had quite the interesting life so far, if I should say so myself. Many seemingly random meetings with random people seemed random at that point of time, but in retrospect..there seemed to be a hidden agenda. The Universe is cooking up something for me, but I never saw it as that upon that singular moment.
Like how I would have never known about the Original Music Society if not for one random person I happened to talk to online. and look where I am now. I’m involved in so many aspects of this society that its mind boggling to think that a year ago I didn’t even know about them! Love you guys 
Like how I would have never known about sYNQ DJing Society if not for another friend I randomly made through the library studying sessions (and eventually meeting the few very talented DJs who’ve actually helped carved up my current musical direction).
Like how I would have never been involved in 2 theater productions (one as a sound operator, another as a music composer) if not for the fact that I was randomly introduced to a few very VERY interesting people at a random picnic in the Botanical gardens.
Like how that random message to another random person actually blossomed into something that had taught me so many things that would have taken me much longer to learn normally. This person changed me so much more for the better; taught me the value of the first impression people have of you (yes,my fashion sense came from you.); inadvertently taught me how you never really know a person till they’re put under pressure. And other things. And the other good friends that I got to know through you. Your good memory lives through them, sorry it turned out the way it did.
Like how I would never be this thin if not for that one single night that brought me to an epic realization: 105KG was too much. And because of that epic realization, I started running. And Swimming. And got to 72KGs. To where I am now. Tall. Fit. Strong. (heh heh).
Like how I saw that random poster outside the Plaza Singapura toilets regarding the production of a small local movie. I went for an audition, met a lot of fun and interesting people. Which in turn led me to meet other interesting people. Like that very secretive mr Direktor. And that vegetable-loving person. And that very emo elmo someone. And also got my first opportunity to compose for a movie soundtrack!
And these are just single moments in my recent memory that I really cherish. and I really really cherish them. Thank you.
These instances really reinforces the whole live life for the moment thing. You never know what awaits you at that next junction, next corner, next turn. Make decisions to do the things you’re always feel inclined not to do. It’ll lead you up a path less travelled, but the rewards are much more fruitful.
I thank God I did the things I did; if not I wouldn’t be here.
Thank you!

*skips*. hahahah.
