From here

Nine years ago...
· I blacked out and got four stitches on my forehead.
· I topped my class and school for the first time.
· I shifted into a new home.
· I took part in my first activity outside of class.

Six years ago...
· I arrived in a brand new environment, got intimidated, manhandled, inspired, and eventually, popularly controversial.
· I got to know the funkiest, closest group of pals I've had.
· I thought I'd end up last in every class and test I took.
· I got to know a very smart girl who eventually went on to become one of Singapore's top science students, to win the National Science Talent Search, and to MIT. (Do you still remember me? I don't think you would.)
· The Internet changed my life forever.

Four years ago...
· I lapsed into the darkest time of my life, and nearly took my own life many, many times.
· I loved someone other than my family, for the first time in my life.
· I flew off on the greatest adventure of my life, thousands of miles away from home.
· I could cry, and laugh, all at the same time.
· I went out on my first date.

Three years ago...
· I lost one love, fell very hard, but learnt to love and treasure my family.
· The O Levels saved me from insanity.
· I climbed Mount Kinabalu.

Two years ago...
· I fell for someone I shouldn't have, who ran miles asunder from who I am.
· I gave up on the people around me.
· I believed I was unbreakable and unbeatable, that I could achieve anything I'd set my heart to.
· I believed in myself.

One year ago...
· I gave myself away, exchanged my entire existence, for my greatest dream ever.
· I fell for a good friend.
· I fell hard, very hard, as I reached the finish line and everything burned up in sight as I lay floundering, gasping for breath.

Yesterday...
· I thought of that very good friend, a first, in a long time.
· I no longer liked her that way anymore.
· I wanted to jump over the railing, pop a thousand pills into my mouth, dash in front of a speeding car, tumble down the stairs and break my hands and legs, and do all that over again.

Today...
· I woke up wondering what was happening the day before.
· I ate two-thirds of a curry puff and threw away the middle.
· I got half the day off.
· I built a University in Queens North in New York, as her population swelled past 25,000.
·I will make some sense out of the rut I've gotten myself into

Tomorrow...
· I will not be sad anymore.
· I will feel inspired to go on taking photos again.
· I will believe in myself again.
