Aufsteigende Flügel is German for "Soaring Wings", a beautiful piano piece composed by Masashi Hamauzu. It is a retreat, a place for me to speak my mind, my thoughts,
and my ideas. I bid you all welcome and please, enjoy your stay while you can.
In case you're wondering, the song you hear playing in the background is called Memories, composed and performed by Kow Otani for the best PS2 game of all time, Shadow of the Colossus.
This was one of the many unused tracks from the game, so I thought I might do it justice playing this lovely track here. It may take a while to load, but please pause it and give it a good listen.
Otani makes good music (unfortunately, this is the only one I know of), and this is one of them. Enjoy!

I have both my Father and Mother begging me to either go back to Taylor's or stay here in UiTM. BEGGING, mind you, not telling.
Part of me wants me to act like the cruel person I can be and just run off to somewhere, but that's not how things work, isn't it? And so yes, I decided to take a stand.
As much as I love it here in UiTM, I feel like it won't truly help with my studies. Though it will benefit others around me (because I had a year of Foundation and a semester of Degree), it most certainly won't benefit me.
As much as I love my friends here in UiTM, I must put my responsibilities and my thoughts for my future as high as possible. True, they are the nicest bunch of people I've ever met (oh, don't take this comment to heart, my fellow Taylorians, you're all very nice too), but I can't let that thought stop me from making the right decision.
Right? Do you think it's right?
My Mother thinks I'm making the wrong decision to go back to Taylor's. My Father thinks otherwise. Well, we both can tell that they're both biased thoughts, but I have to choose a side somehow, right?
And as much as I want to remain here, my heart still goes back to Taylor's. I want to complete my Degree there, and then get a proper job with my own income so that I can help my sister later when she enters her tertiary education level. And I have to admit, 5 years in University is a waste of time when I'm already close to completing my Degree with UniSA (2 1/2 years to go).
And I don't want to be so far away from home. Especially far away from my sister.
She needs me. We both need each other.
So, I have made my decision. I will return to Taylor's, probably around this week. And because of that, my Mother will cancel my loan and will not contribute a single cent in my education in Taylor's. My Degree in Journalism will be fully sponsored by my Father and only him.
*sighs* Anything to protect one's pride, eh? O Mother, I love you so.
