When I took up Computer Engineering rather than pursuing my dreams of the space, the sky, the universe, I thought my dream would be a bygone history. But I don't think it will ever become buried or become history to me. Rather it is what seems to drive me many a day when I don't feel like working, makes what I've been desperately been trying to achieve through other means possible eventually. If I try to wake up early morning for the sake of working or studying I never do get out of bed... but if I decide to wake up to have a peek at the sky, I wake up even before the alarm rings and I seem to be so happy and cheerful the whole day !! Yesterday the same phenomenon recurred... As I looked at the applications for the SURF programmes yesterday and realised that they all involved astrophysics, I was totally going gaga. I experienced an interest, an excitation, a happiness that I know I haven't shown in anything for a long time.
When I look the orion, I feel a sense of belonging. I am able to recognise the stars and planets just by looking at them, their shimmering, their magnitude and position in the sky, even without looking at their neighbours... Recognising humans seems like a more difficult task. I do not understand this strange connection with the sky, the space and the universe... But I feel, as I look at the cloudy white sky raining drops of water that a life connected to them will provide me with a peace and happiness. I feel my destiny is somehow ties to them... Why else would they and they alone be able to kindle and conjure up expressions in me that is equable to none ?
