In context, it usually means "continue forever, without limit" and thus can be used to describe a non-terminating process, a non-terminating repeating process, or a set of instructions to be repeated "forever", among other uses. It may also be used in a manner similar to the Latin phrase "et cetera" to denote written words or a concept that continues for a lengthy period beyond what is shown.
人与人之间，始终有告别的一天．
但时期一到, 我们会以什么态度来面对?
Ad Infinitum. To continue, together without limits. It's a promise people make all the time. To hold that relationship, cherish those bonds even after separation, how many people actually see to that?
Ad Infinitum, this years theme for the Hwa Chong j1 orientation. Apt, but it really brings one to contemplate. Contemplate, what could the future possibly bring. A year down the road? Ten years down the road?
A non-terminating repeating process.
Yeah, it is. A never ending tunnel stretching on to forever. Life is somewhat like a blank page. You fill it up. The people around you are the ink, you pen down your own story, you drive your own direction. It is a non terminable operation. Once the current companions around you are changed, once you get into contact with newer ones, you change your environment, your thinking; it's repeated process, over and over again.
A non-terminating process.
Or is it? In a different environment, bonds break down. Like how a change in pH can denature the bonds of the protein structure by altering the specific 3-D configuration of the arranged bonds in the protein, a change in environment likewise would too have adverse effects (I'm good to think of this, biologgyyyy. Hahha). People get out of touch, stray apart, and such. Put it in a graph, it's more of a product-life cycle. Interesting what you find on the Internet today. (:
Get to know, get to know better, break apart. Life. Ironic, yeah?

Yesterday marked the end of the week. Hell of a week, it was.
I'd been through high school, I'd been a senior.
I've had my own junior squad in a uniform group, I've had handfuls of juniors.
Yet being a 'senior', in all forms of the word; is something that I've only recently came to terms with.
No, it's not about the position you're holding;, not as a leader, when you're tasked with the numerous responsibilities that comes with it.
No, it's not about the curriculum. School, education, work schematics. It all boils down to results, I surmised.
It's more about the people, I feel.
Time. And we're sorely lacking it.
For after all what is man in nature? A nothing in relation to infinity, all in relation to nothing, a central point between nothing and all and infinitely far from understanding either. The ends of things and their beginnings are impregnably concealed from him in an impenetrable secret. He is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness out of which he was drawn and the infinite in which he is engulfed.
2011. Then, does a section in the amusement park close down? Or does the carousel continue running?

Today I smiled, and all at once things didn't look so bad.
Today I shared with someone else, a bit of hope I had.
Today I sang a little song, and felt my heart grow light,
And walked a happy little mile, with not a cloud in sight.
Today I worked with what I had and longed for nothing more,
And what had seemed like only weeds, were flowers at my door.
Today I loved a little more and complained a little less,
And in the giving of myself, I forgot my weariness.
I did, too, yesterday. Orientation is always an experience. (:
J1s, bask in the sun, dance in the rain. Cheer like you haven't before, show off to the world as much as you can, enjoy J1 life, too, it's a whole new different playing ground in J2. And High School guys, don't forget those high school times, you'd probably some best moments there, too.
