He wishes for the Cloths of Heaven
by Yeats, again

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet;
But I, being poor, have only dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

I love my hair. Thou i think dat more spikes would be greatly appreciated. And it should be a lil shorter. But nonetheless, i love my hair.

Bought a bag today. Can't really find someone to appreciate wad i like. Perhaps i'm juz being myself. God created us each unique. I love being the way i am. Hah. Seemingly a lil self-comforting...

Today's stomp service was c.o.o.l... Yeah, and you din come. Really dun understand you. But anwz, there's this breakdance section which i thot was really cool. Lotsa freezing, sth i'd dream of doing. I tried lah, but but..

Down by the Salley Gardens
by W. B. Yeats

Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;
She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.

In a field by the river my love and I did stand,
And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy, as the grass on the weirs;
But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.

Wanted to blog yesterday. So i wrote one whole chunk of stuff, and when i clicked post and publish, i DC!!! So everything was gooooone. Den i was too lazy to retype. Anw, had cg wif the jc peeps yesterdae. So jean's chinese name ish huiling... So the cg's made up of ruizhen, huiling, huiying, yingying, and huiling. Cool huh?! Haha.

And today had cg wif da mf gals. And the rc was locked... apparently no one holding on to the keys are coming down. And so... we went to stadium to haf our cg. It was really crowded dere. Din expect so many ppl, cuz yuying sec was having some house meeting and zhonghua pri having their track and field training. Yupps. But it's really enjoyable being wif the gals.

Also today, Roystan Tan came to my college. You noe, Roystan Tan, da director of Fifteen? Yupp. He came last year to screen Fifteen, and this year he's back to screen yet another four fabulous short films of his. It was great! He's sucha talented director and he's full of emotions.. view the world using your heart And now, here's a short review of his films.

1) Sons
A short film depicting the relationship betw. a son and his dad, in which the son din tok to his dad fer a longg time. In the film, the dad, an old man in his 70s, narrates the story in hokkien, and as he narrates, the story unfolds. The son is always busy with his work. He leaves e hse so early he doesn't eat the porridge his dad cooks every morning. And the son hardly comes home fer dinner. One day, his dad decides to cook a sumptous meal, but again, the son din come home fer dinner... instead, the son ate cup noodles upon reaching home.

The meal came 25 years too late, and it's my fault.

They say blood is thicker than water but yet we live like strangers.

This film taught me to cherish my parents. To communicate wif them more often.

2) 24 hrs
This is a pretty unique film. The total cost for tis film is $5--to buy the tape to record. It was a real-life depiction of wad roystan went thru' in korea-- a relationship that lasted onli fer 24 hrs. They fell in love, yet the guy had to leave.. and wad's worse, they din understand each other's language...

I said, "I am going to make a short film for you."
You don't understand what i said.
I said, "I am going to miss you."
You tried to smile.
I said, "I am going to miss my flight."
You don't understand what i said.

I got on the taxi.

Even though you're gone i can still smell you on the streets and whenever you need me, i'll be there.

3) Mother
This was super touching, i nearly cried. I could feel the tears welling up, but i managed to hold them back. A true story, from a drug addict, about him and his mum.

When i thrashed the piano,
You told uncle i was practising too hard
When i killed the neighbour's cat,
You told them i was ignorant
When i stole sth,
You defended me
The assignments you drew fer me failed to score
Tell me, how stupid can you be?
...
You strived hard to make ends meet
Yet i despise you fer dressing shabbily at my graduation
You call this my house
But i thought my house was 3-storey high
...
(After i got released from prison)
I saw Sis
I saw uncle
I saw the old neighbours
I saw everyone i need to see
Yet i din see you mother

Cherishing what your parents, your teachers, your mentors did fer you. Never take them fer granted.

Brilliant right? Man. Really feel fer dose peeps who din manage to catch the films. They were G.R.E.A.T.

Your love has captured me
Oh my God this love, how can it be?

God bless those taking econs test tomms. :) Thou i dun think you guys shld be reading this. You shld be mugging!! But I understand how stressful it can be, having to mug fer a test while trying to cope with homework. Tomms ish the oratorical competition. Jia you! Fer those taking part in it.. *why do i feel lyk a cheerleader all of a sudden?* Hmmm, anw, tomms ish also the first cg fer the JC ppl. Pretty nervous, but i guess it'll work out just fine. :)

Was having a forum today abt homosexuality. The issue still remains untackled. Isit moral? Cori seems really convicted abt her pro-choice stand, and joe-han is firm abt his pro-life stand. Hah.

Anw, i suddenly thot abt the sexband issue. It's a real hot issue in my college now, thou it's sth i seriously find stupid to even mention abt. It's amusing, the thingy behind these black bands. I got to noe the meaning of these bands last year, in nov? Hah. I din even bothered abt it as i thot it was stupid. Firstly, if you're wearing them, does it necessarily mean that you had sex? Or vice versa, if you're not wearing them, does it necessarily mean that you're as pure as an angel? And if sum stranger cums up to you and pulls your bands, does it necessarily mean dat you need to go to bed with that fellow? CRAP man... *disgusted* To think that the media made sucha big fuss abt this issue. ... sigh ...

Gotta be guai and go do my homework liao. Bye guys!

Lotsa crappy stuff happened today...

*by the pe department*
...please tell your frens, those who haven't taken their height and weight yet, to come and see me by this week, if they dun, they'd be short and fat...

*msg by daryl ho* db8 soc's vp
...Hey can you do da oral comp posters by tmr? Mr ho wants it. Not me, Anthony Ho...

Haha. Enuff of crap, read the following... simply beautiful. Ripped off.

The snow

O snow, which sinks so light,
Brown earth is hid from sight
O soul, be thou as white as snow,
O snow, which falls so slow,
Dear earth quite warm below;
O heart, so keep thy glow
Beneath the snow.

O snow, in thy soft grave
Sad flow'rs the winter brave;
O heart, so sooth and save, as does the snow.
The snow must melt, must go,
Fast, fast as water flow.
Not thus, my soul, O sow
Thy gifts to fade like snow.

O snow, thou'rt white no more,
Thy sparkling too, is o'er;
O soul, be as before,
Was bright the snow.
Then as the snow all pure,
O heart be, but endure;
Through all the years full sure,
Not as the snow.

I went for a haircut. Cool...
