The old man in the bus looked tired. His nods so fervent, so violent. Although it made us laugh, I can't help but ponder. Why. Just why, does the world spin? And again, like many times before, silence replied. And again, like many times before, I'll smile to myself. This world is cruel and brilliant.
Part two of my sophomore year in Polytechnic began about a week ago. The assignments came by in droves, and the verdicts stopped short of silence (an understatement). The pit of my stomach wants me to look forward to all of these rather exciting projects. But my brain says no. It's truly a sigh-worthy moment. I don't want to have second thoughts on something I find so intriguing, but again, it is life's way of telling you that there's always multiple chances; like when a sudden pathway opens up in a forest clearing. Would you dare leave the safety of a familiar haven for an unknown future? I'd love to ask for a map, though.
Lets leave chapter two of this long, long story for tomorrows ears. I have drama early morning. Aliens should stay strong.
School seemed to slip by me, for no apparent reason. My assignments had to wait for just a little bit longer, I needed more time to clear my head (something more people should learn to do, remember what Mr Tan K. S. said, VC0ers).
Some of the nights were spent preparing for StageArts Night 2009. Acting and bitching are soothing pastimes, try them out for effective stress loss. Back on topic, the event (held at the NYP Amphitheater) was a jolly-good success. To those involved, (especially the Blower's daughter, mother, husband and friends) don't beat yourselves up for all the whatshould'vebeens and whatnots, it's over, they loved it, kudos. Chandra, mukaa.
Now, that frog in my throat, it probably got stuck there on it's way out as it was passing through my uvula. A dry cough, it's not nice to have one. Or a thousand.
The new week came. I can't believe were almost halfway through 2009. The winds of change are blowing in our faces, they've never been this strong. If something hits you hard, just wipe it off. I got most of my queries for the various assignments answered today; week 8 couldn't come faster enough. Boy, all these negative vibes. I'll be a Phoebe Buffay and say that all this bad chi is bad for you, mother. Think straight. Nothing's worse than a helpless spirit submerged in the depths of irony. God.
For what seems like the umpteenth time, the computer speaks. I know it's ten. Ok. I'll go.
I just realised that I type way too much. Oh, only just. Anyway...
Today's rise 'n' shine was a chaotic mess. A chaotic mess of glue and paper bitsies. I had no mood to finish up the big Typography assignment yesterday night so well, I sorta squeezed it into my 'virgins ass tight' morning schedule. Outcome? Never, again.
I guess some guardian angel named Megan was watching over me this morning, because in the end I managed to get my butt to school with a completed assignment, signed, sealed, delivered (though it sorta got rejected). Thank god all I have to do is neaten it up a bit here and there.
Our class went out for lunch together during the now 2-hour break. Somewhere near Anderson Secondary, this hawker's centre cum market thingy. The mee soto was actually quite tasty, either that, or I was really hungry (as usual). Had Woo's Model Making class thereafter. A reason why after lunch classes totally suck: the food makes you want to sleep. Luckily, it was a fun lesson (I made a heart-shaped box which had the shape of a real heart) though I was glad to have been able to ciao early again. I need to get used to this, haha.
The past couple of days have been up and down. I am not going to forget the truths and dares that got accomplished yesterday by the stage arters (we played around wildly like the big kids we were, after having pizza and chatting). You guys stone, as in stoooooneeee ('rock' is so yesterday). And not to forget the bus trip home, haha, that was fun as well, *winks*.
Let's just say that I've accomplished a lot of things as of today. And if I have hurt anyone in that process of accomplishing things, I truly apologize.
