The gloom tune

To leave this place, I took a step of faith

Once it brewed with the passion of two

A space of still air, a dark pit of gloom.

Stripped naked of clothes and thoughts

Leaving them all behind, including the shared dream we fought for.

What seemed common revealed disparities

No hesitations made to resolve uncertainties

We made our depart to go separate ways

Little did I know, my soul was trapped behind

It was trapped beneath the sheets, confused by the change in climate, cold lifeless air.

During the loneliest nights, the howling wind carries the voice from the gloomy room

Torments recycle as I drown myself in the same old tunes

With divine courage and heavy steps that charged back to the abandoned place where my soul lingers

the musty sheets I pulled and flung away with all brutal strength

The tunes died, my soul revived.

Been a long time since I felt so poigant to write a poem.

Weee

Had a feature writing test today. It was rather easy, thank God, despite me sleeping and playing drums the whole afternoon yesterday. Jamming for the first time in who knows how many months today. Never felt so good about jamming before. Went all the way down to Bukit Batok, but it was all worthwhile man. Never been to such a clean, neat and comfortable studio before...24 for 2 hours and we got an extra half an hour because the guy tending the place went home with Sheng's IC! haha.
Guys, if you're looking for a place to jam, ALVRON is the place man! Just take 173 from clementi interchange or 61 from bukit batok interchange!
It was really fun today, thanks Sheng! So much to learn from you. And thanks for squashing my hand with yucky soya sauce-pepper-flavoured eggshell. Uek.

a little more than half emo

I AM 52% EMO! Well.. I've made the cut! Now I'll go buy some promise rings and knit myself a sweater. Take the EMO test at Fuali.com

sian

this is wrong.
Its just the start of the year and everything doesn't feel right. I don't feel motivated or hopeful about stuff.. and just a month ago.. towards the end of the year, I felt that everything was hopeful and things would become more exciting for the coming year.

I am procrastinating. I haven't done any work for the week. Been slacking since monday. I hate the internet. It just gets me hooked and I deviate from doing serious work. Thank God I only have one test this term. Went lil India yesterday with my sister, brought her to shape her eyebrows.. procrastinated from going home and hung out a little after dinner with her. Today, I went sneaker hunting with Danielle and Bernie at Queensway and Orchard. Took the whole afternoon and then dropped by Wee Lee Aljunied to join the Jams church musician at their jamming session. Cool. Though I didn't get to play.. but.. Wow. So much for me to learn. David's great. Rather happy that they are including me for their next jamming session. Hope I will get to play.. and learn some stuff from David.

Speaking of that. Jamming with Narroway coming Tues. Sheesh. I haven't learnt the songs. Don't know if I have enough time man.... there's still project work, psych quizzes, photography to be done and feature writing test to study for.. and.. Sunday night there's strikeforce, Sat is church day, Fri...mayb drum lessons and at night hanging out with Joc and co. So technically I'm left with tomorrow. Man, precious. I've gotta cherish what I have tomorrow.

Not my day at all.

It's so comfortable typing from this soft rubbery keyboard... whheeee. I wished this ibook G4 was mine.. Better run away with it before Denise comes back from the school bookshop with that stupid plastic cover that costs $2.65. Photography is an expensive module man. Thank God I chose not to use the film camera, otherwise I would have spent more than 30 bucks on camera batteries, film, developing and printing like the others did. And all this just to submit one out of five of the deadlines.

Crap. I thought it was really my day yesterday when I scored a picture perfect shot just before I crhossed the road to the printing shop. It was brilliant. (thanks BPC!) And I just found out other than submitting one 8R shot, I've gotta also submit a total of 24 shots in a cd. And I don't have a camera now. My friend, which I borrowed the camera from, deleted some of the pictures I took. urrggggh. I'm lost.

Scheduled to jam coming wednesday. I havent learnt any of the songs yet. Sigh.

what.

I just accidentally deleted the photo I was planning to submit for my photography deadline on Friday.
and they say it takes at least two days to get the pictures printed. and I have to start worrying for my journalism deadline on Tuesday. and I just completed my psychology proposal. and freak, I forgot. I'm supposed to do follow up by 11pm today and I just missed the deadline. Dang. and what am I doing here typing away, wallowing in self pity.

It's a new year, and I believe this year is going to be really great. Though it does not seem like a really fantastic start for now, but I have much optimism that things would pick up pretty soon. I had one of the more subdued new years' celebration this year. Choosing to be shy after bitten by that rotten pickpocket on Christmas eve, I opted for a low profile celebration with Owen and Emelia. What was crazy about that: We walked a total of more than 1.5 hours from the McDonald's opposite Parkway to East Coast to catch the ships give out light signals at midnight before we finally reached my apartment at New Upp Changi Rd. hahahhaha! It wasn't exactly fun, but it was good to spend time together, though I felt Eme was bothered. (hope she's fine already.) James arrived later in the night and the first thing he did was to fall asleep on my bed. The three of us had to squeeze on this single mattress on the floor while we played one tedious round of the Mad Magazine. We then finally fell asleep as soon as we played Sweet November vcd. That was it. 2005 New Year's Eve.

HOW.....am I gonna get the picture? I'm supposed to take it before 800-1030.. but lessons start at 9. and I don't think I can take it after school because it would be too late for printing then? Urgh.. I haven't practised the songs scheduled for jamming. and I seriously need to get started for my journalism and psychology deadlines next week. and I haven't done readings for MM Prin. sheesh. NO. NO NO. I shouldn't be worrying. Pray. Pray.
