It started 4 years ago, Imola 2005
There was a time when a red car chasing a blue car. So intense, so nerveracking. In the end, the blue car survived the pressure, first crossed the chequered flag, and claimed the victory at italian grand prix. The red car is Ferrari, driven by the 7 times World champion Michael Schumacher. And the blue car is Renault, driven by a soon-to-be world champion.
Thosand miles away from the scene, there was a girl watching the game. She was under a big trouble. Unable to finish her undergraduate final paper within 6 months, she couldn't join the graduation with her friends that successfully completed their study within 4 years of time. Of course she was sad, especially with her parent urged her to choose between her 3 jobs, or final paper.
After watching that Italian grand prix, she came to one conclusion. She would work on her final paper but she decided to keep her jobs, 2 out of 3.
6 months later, she graduated with one big lesson. "not to give up and keep on fighting". The same spirit that brought her to japan as today. To pursue her dreams and to keep on dreaming against all odds.
The man who teached that lesson is that Renault guy, Alonso. And the girl is me...
So there I was, standing on the bench of suzuka circuit to meet my "teacher" and to say "thank you". To say thank you for let her learn to keep on fighting and dreaming against all odds.

One moment that made it all...
The moment came when I finally met him person
and whispered how I am always grateful for what he has thought me...
That is the moment that made it all..
a moment when a long awaited dream finally came into being..
And here I am today, ready for a new beginning
ready to chase new dreams
ready to face life with new spirit..
and whispered how I am always grateful for what he has thought me...
That is the moment that made it all..
a moment when a long awaited dream finally came into being..
And here I am today, ready for a new beginning
ready to chase new dreams
ready to face life with new spirit..
