The Opera Populaire

My mind was humming this song as I stood admiring the Alps in Austria. It reminded me a bit of chocolate cakes, with white icing on top. I could hardly take my eyes of it as our coach sped past, while my cousin and frens were wrapt in playing "dai di"; it was simply breathtakingly pretty. The song speaks quite a bit to me at this point in time, having conquered one mountain and moving onto others. Was just coming to a realisation that I'm no longer a kid, I'm being thrown into what I used to call the adult's world. I suppose this may have come a bit late, esp in the view that most of my peers have already found a job and r now juggling responsibilities. But, I come from a background where I never need to worry abt my basic needs, less of all my family's. I'm still very much a princess at home, sheltered by my parents' protective care. Guess I'm still unaware of all that going out into the working world entails. But, by God's blessing, I shall climb every mountain and overcome.
