Ah, i haven't been writing for quite a while now, i really have neither the time nor the mood to blog. Since the start of the holidays, life has taken a turn for the worse. It's really boring and i can't believe i'm saying this but i miss school haha. Sheesh. Well, what have i been doing over the holidays... hmmm... well i caught up on my school work, what can i say haha. I guess i was really worried after my dismal CA and H1 papers. Boring ain it? Well then, i won't write anything about me studying. (although we did do some stupid stuff in the library hahahaha)
I also focussed on whipping my body into shape this month, although i can't say it has been very effective but at least i can say i tried haha. I skipped more than 1/2 of the track trainings this month, it's at Serangoon Stadium for god's sake. It isn't exactly my idea of fun to have to wake up at 7 in the morning to travel halfway across Singapore just for a couple of hours of track training (which is horribly dull btw, i can't wait till cross-country training resumes). And aha, i finally found a good gym, it's at Bedok Sports Complex. It's way better than the school gym although the school gym is more aesthetic. It has these really awesome machines for the forearm/biceps, triceps and abdominals. I'm one step closer to being a Spartan now :)
Hmmm, what else, oh yeah, after a week or so into the holidays, i got really sick of Economics and decided to try my hand at poetry. Well, my first one was inspired by a really fiery conversation over msn, i wrote it on a bus and so, it sucked, it had no rhythm, rhyme, alliteration or metre whatsoever haha. The second about someone and had a psychotic overkill on rhymes and the third was an attempt at medieval literature which ended up rather like a rhyming prose instead haha. I wrote my fourth one at the library today when i was supposed to be studying physics heh. It's an attempt on abstract, my previous poems were all very literal. And i have Rebekah and Jamy to thank for giving me useful comments on my poems. The rest of you were useless, what does "It's okay la" mean. Mehhhh.
And here it is, feel free to tag on it too,
Presenting my fourth and best poem to date
(I'm still a n00b, so forgive me if i insult your literary complex with my poor and cliched attempts at the noble art of poetry which you hold so dear) Hehehe
Why do you weep?
What are these tears on your face?
Streams of liquid quicksilver
Springing unbidden from sorrowful pools
The windows to your heart
Cascading down slender cheekbones
Dampening my cheeks
I dry your tears away
These broken sobs
They sound so hollow
Each one shallower than before
Sapping your strength
Draining your life-force with every breath
I hold you closer
Lending you my warmth of my soul
I feel your fear
Fear of the world of night
Falling through the webs of shadow
Into the eternal abyss, that gaping chasm
Out of memory and time
I promise you,
You and I will meet again
Join in embrace once more
The warmth of our hearts entwining
Our eternal spirit
Shine a star upon you
Light through the murk
Illuminate the lonely path
Let it guide you home
What do you see on the horizon?
Across the darkness
Morning light beckons you
Its warmth softly caressing your skin
The time has come, farewell
Go now, sleep now
I will join you in time
And in case anyone was wondering what the heck i'm writing about, it's about me cradling and soothing someone who is dying in my arms. Yessss, the drama, actually this poem was inspired by a song on the Lord Of The Rings soundtrack, it have me the inspiration to write this.
And NO, i will not post my previous poems. (Those of you who know why... shhhh, the rest, keep guessing hahaha)
