Greeeeeeeen

Why am I not surprised that I'm the M.O.T.M. The whole section voted for me... tsktsk. But of course, I'm not letting it get to my head (but it's hard when you see how the golden keychain proclaiming SACO M.O.T.M Jan '05 gleams like... well, gold. Hahah. =P). This is just another display of how united our section is. Sometimes I dunno whether to laugh or cry (when they're united for all the wrong reasons). But anyways, you guys raWk! Not because you all voted, but because I seriously enjoy the company you all bring. =)

My brain power's maxed out already (due to integration, what else), so here I am glued to the com again. And I've downloaded the whole American Idiot album! (by courtesy of Aaron. Hawhaw.) That's a consolation for having done maths for the whole morn' I guess. Heh.

The coming week's gonna be busy. It's horrible. Totally jam-packed. Can't wait for the week to be over!!!
I'm off lambasting my ear drums with more of Green Day. Haha.

Smile

Argh. I think the whole Internet’s down (can there be such a ridiculous phenomenon? But then it’s really happening...) And I’m blogging on MS Word. BleahZ.

Had my hair trimmed today at Far East. Hmm and do I like the cut? Lemme see… I like it as much as I fancy the sun rising and setting, the earth revolving around the sun, and the sun being just one of the many stars littering the cosmos. Go figure. Haha. I’m dog tired!!

Smile

It’s blinding.
The sheen of your pearly whites
And the flare of stubbornness,
Your flair for loneliness.

Your lips, they curve upwards
Like the woeful crescent of the moon,
Speckled with bottomless pits
To be filled with the passing clouds
And the thickening mist.

It radiates but not lightens,
Consoles but not cheers.
For pray, don’t I see your droplets of ripe rain
Cascading down into those pits?

You’ve been holding on all this while.
Tearing through your smile.

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do...
Coldplay- Yellow

When I come undone
You bring me back again
Back under the stars
Back into your arms

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

Come here
Oh my star is fadin'
And I see no chance of release...

'Cos all of the stars are fadin' away
Just try not to worry
You'll see them some day...

Swingin' to the Stars

Have got some time to kill before SY, XL and Dawn come over to work on the GP presentation. So here I am blogging.

Anyway yesterday my whole family went to Changi for dinner with my uncle. It's this restaurant right by the beach and very near the airport. So we were dining by the sandy shores al-fresco and reaching out to touch the bellies of airplanes that flew by. The sea breeze was strong and after downing my sarsi-float I was ready to freeze. Haha. But the ambience was niceee. The food commendable too.

After dinner my uncle and dad stayed to chat, while me and my three bros went over to the playground nearby. Yep, it's the kind of fully-equipped playground which'd put those neighbourhood ones to shame. For instance, it had a grand total of eight swings. And three slides. And other stuff to hone your arm/leg muscles with. In other words, it was play paradise.

So of course the first thing we did was to rush to the swings. I suggested competing who'd be able to swing the highest, and on my cue we took off. I kicked with all I was worth and felt myself being elevated through the crisp night air. It wasn't until my bros gave cries of protests that I realised I'd reached a considerably high altitude. HehehZ. Try as they might they'll never be able to beat me ('cos of our weight disparities =P). And so they were protesting and complaining, and I ended up giving tips on how to swing higher. Like it'd work... >< But we did have a reallyyyyyyy fUn time at the playground. Ahh... gone are the days where we used to climb all over the old playground (which no longer exists now) near our home. *Strokes beard and reminisces*. Haha. =P

I kicked with my might,
And soared to the heavens
Where the starry lights
Had the darkness driven.
How I wonder what they are,
Pinpricks in a sea of black.
But isn't it called a pretty star,
Calming you when you're a wreck?

Oh, and the stars were really prominent and pretty too. =)

Sunday Morning

Oh wow. It's Sunday already? Another week gone by.
Anyways it's a pretty nice morning today, and I'm home alone. My mum accompanied my three brothers to recieve their edusave awards... (Yeah all three of them got it. I used to get it too but last year's results were just sucky. Oh well.)

Right now: Green Day + Simple Plan's blasting from my speakers. Can feel the wind whooshing from the subwoofer. I just lurve the subwoofers! Total sound enhancement. Haha. The good thing about being home alone. ;)
Plan of the day: I shall devour my Bio notes after my math tuition.

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again

Wake Me Up When Septmeber Ends

Cool song. One of the reasons I like it is 'cos September's my birthmonth! =P
Right. Time to work on integration homework.

Listen!

John Dryden - Happy The Man
Happy the man, and happy he alone,
He who can call today his own:
He who, secure within, can say,
Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.
Be fair or foul or rain or shine
The joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine.
Not Heaven itself upon the past has power,
But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.

Haha. Realised my last two poems were on the darker side (but then again when were they ever on the brighter side...) so I decided to liven things up by posting this cUte poem.

Yep. Anyways had a fun time during ME lesson today at the amphitheatre. We were supposed to 'listen' to what our classmates were saying. All in a bid to make us learn to listen and to bond the class or something like that. And this is one of the times when I feel the whole class is really united. A lazy afternoon at the amphitheatre crapping around with your classmates... ME lessons sure are getting better. Haha. Then there's a valuable lesson to be learnt too (yea cheeeeeeeesy, but still =) ). Mr Koh's words did sum it all up; sometimes you just need to listen more... maybe there's a person in your life you should always have listened to, but didn't. Sigh. I just lurve philosophical musings like these. Especially on such a wonderful afternoon. (=

Armed Attack

There's a gaping hole
Spurting with thick blood.

Shot at by your bullet;
Swift and uncompromising it came,
And I was unarmed.

Stabbed at by your dagger,
Your own rythmic pace.
Stab stab stab.

Pray do end it all quick.

Torment me no more,
and I shall pass into the dark.

Won't you lay down your gun and dagger?

Fool

You didn't say, so I assumed.
That the rays of the sun are mine to keep
And the moon's aloofness,
A mere ruse to deter.

You didn't say, so I assumed.
That all bubbly laughters are meant for my ears,
And the displayed disdain
Is but a masquerade.

You didn't say, so I assumed.
That rainbows do have the eighth hue,
And the cold night only transient.

But I'm exhausted assuming
That you'll be the air I breathe.
Because the sun is setting,
the laughter ceasing,
And the rainbows melting.

You didn't say.

Alone

I'm so proud of myself today. I watched a movie all alone! Haha. Been meaning to catch 'Phantom' all this while, but there didn't seem to be anyone available to watch it with me, so I decided to go all by myself. In the past I wouldn't do that, 'cos I've always thought people who watched movies alone were losers. Hmm look who's the loser now.

Anyways I regretted my move the moment I stepped into the theatre at JEC. Not the part about watching alone, but about my decision to watch it at JE. The screen was smaaall, the seats were creaky, and I had to crane my neck for a bit. Argh. All this at my first attempt to watch a movie alone. Haven't watched a movie there in eons, shoulda known better. I'm NOT going back ever.

But the movie more than made up for the stoopid theatre's shortcomings. Resplendent settings and soulful warbles and a brilliant soundtrack. At least I enjoyed the movie. Haha. =)

It ain't too bad catching a flick alone. Hmm if only I'd caught LoTR alone too... Never mind. It may be that your solitude intensifies how you percieve the movie, 'cos there're no friends distracting you whatsoever. It's just the movie and you. Period.
So the next time I really want to indulge myself, I'll catch a wonderful movie all alone. Cool.

Me = J2

Yep, we've been promoted! The funny thing is I can't really register that I'm already a J2. Or the fact that my friends around me are J2s. Or that the price of prata has risen to a grand total of 60cents. Or that the A's are imminent. Or that I'm turning 18 this year. Yikes.

Bummer. Can't think of anymore things to say, have to get up early tomorrow. I guess this blog'll lie idle for a while, so long as my homework beckons. =P
