digging for that Treasure | ||||
welcome No one ever followed his genius til it misled him. Though the result were bodily weakness, yet perhaps no one can say that the consequences were to be regretted, for these were a life in conformity to higher principles. If the day and night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal,--that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself. The greatest gains and values are farthest from being appreciated. We easily come to doubt if they exist. We soon forget them. They are the highest reality....the true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched. --Henry David Thoreau |
profile There are two words to describe me: 'atheistic' and 'cynical'. Anything else, you'll have to find out by yourself. Don't like it, sue me. And that's the awful truth. |

Long time no post, dudes... Okay, here's the thing: I'm the main character for this play we're performing for our ELDDS Blackbox, which is basically a bunch of drama performances to the theme of 'Illusions'. There are a couple of romantic scenes in it, and I'm the boyfriend! This is so not me! I really don't do mushy and romantic scenes! Why must I be the dude? If only Crescent was a co-ed school... Anyway, if any one's interested they are selling tickets tomorrow at the canteen at $5 each, but they will also be selling tickets at $7 on our school's Opening Day on 8th September, which is also the day for Blackbox. It starts at 10am and ends at 1pm, and please would someone other than my sister come?? Exam results are out, and well, let's just say that although I received 'A's for all the languages (yes that includes Chinese), I'm really disappointed in the other subjects I'm supposed to be good at. Math was expected, seeing 25 people failed, but I was lucky to even pass, but I must admit I really could have done better if I only had adopted the same method I used to find the answer for the first percentage question with all the rest. I could have gotten a decent 'B' or even an 'A'. Oh, did I mention? Our school went to watch 'The King and I' musical a couple of weeks ago, though not many people appreciated the music, except me of course. Can ya blame me? I've always loved the songs ever since I watched 'Shall We Dance' and the really old version of the musical on television. I don't like the actors though, but you couldn't really see their faces from where we were sitting. I sincerely would like to thank our music lesson for giving us a reason to watch this brilliant production. The sad part, and I mean depressing, is that during the next two music lessons, we were forced to watch High School Musical, and even had to choose our favourite song...:( The only reason I was able to pull through it was because I was trying to catch glimpses of Allison from So You Think You Can Dance because she was playing a really really small part and she rarely appeared. So I amused myself to try to spot her distinctive bushy-ish hair. Well, it worked! // Thursday, August 30, 2007, 10:02 PM I really do not understand a thing goin' on in my life right now, and I HATE that feelin': the feelin' that nothin' is gonna make sense unless I make sense of everythin' before it's too late, before the "canary flies out off my hands and out of the damned window". The Pope supports the Death Penalty, you know? "An eye for an eye, a hand for a hand"... hmph. So if i gouge some one's eye out, I'm supposed to gouge my own eye out and give to him? I just can't believe that? What happened to fairness and compassion and all that jazz, huh? Using violence to stop violence? Martin Luther King Jr. once said "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that; hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that. Darkness multiplies darkness, hate multiplies hate, in an endless spiral of destruction." It's one of my earliest and favourite quotes, the one that started my 'obsession' or 'thirst' for more. I know Heaven sounds great and all, and I really want to believe in something like that-- that there's something bigger out there, bigger than you or I, but am I willing to sacrifice all that I believe in just to guarantee my place there? Without suffering, there can be no compassion... well tell that to the people who suffer. There's too much bad shit in the world. Uh... life sucks, but you've got to take everything it throws at you, and you know it'll keep comin', but you still have to, because it feels good to believe. I'm sick of EXAMS man! Talk about sucking the fun out of life! There's always one more around the corner, and when you finally graduate, forget about test, now you have to go find a bloody job, and then low and behold, now you've got major responsibilities. Is it really worth it? All this trouble I mean. Is it really worth working you ass off to get into a good school? I mean, yeah, you'll get a good future, and by this I mean a good job with a mighty big paycheck every month, but is it really worth it? Well, you really don't have a choice, now do you? If you asked me to choose from sleeping out in the streets to sleeping on a warm cozy bed in a big ass house filled with cold cold furniture, heck, I'll choose the bed any time, dude! Why can't life be like the movies? Seriously. Why would you spend soo much time filming such crap when in the end, it's just a gigantic, elaborate fairytale? Just destroys your conception of 'reality' doesn't it? Ah well, I'm sulking here, feeling like crap shit....=) Maybe it's because I might have failed, or done really badly, in my Science Common test, and plus, I didn't bring my fcking Chinese textbook home so I can't study for the damn spelling and class test, which probably means one more test I'll fail. G-R-E-A-T! Life is SOOO good. // Sunday, August 19, 2007, 5:40 PM Ok, please support CGS's team by viewing this website! Help us win! CLICK HERE! // Wednesday, August 8, 2007, 1:32 PM I'm at my mom's lab now. I had to wait for like half a bloody hour outside in the blistering hot sun, calling her and calling her... I can't get in her lab by the way, I need a pass Today's National Day Celebrations were sooo infuriating, made worst by a certain SOMEONE, whom I shall not name because it will be a disgrace to my class, and she is very important in our class even though she doesn't do anything, she just has a very high position, the highest actually. We sang a lot of songs but I missed quite a bit because of that certain irresponsible someone, but since it's National Day Eve, I'll try to liven up... I have a Singapore tattoo on my arm, it says "Made in Singapore"... If you know what i mean...*raises eyebrows* I'm gonna go pick up my movie tickets, you know the one that I won that I don't know what to do with. I'll probably go watch The Simsons with my sis or something Okay, I'm gonna go play some online games now... //, 1:11 PM I finally found my book, A Bend in The Road, thanks to Doris. Its quite nice, but not one of Sparks' more romantic books Chinese and English oral passed already. It was... Okay. Just alright i guess. I can't believe that I actually did good in the Chinese Common Test. 74/100, but the way, which is really good. I'm reading Harry Potter now, I know it is late, but my brother was reading it the past weeks. No Spoilers please. The Harry Potter movie wasn't that good though. I like Heath Ledger's smile, if that means anything to you. Damn PBL! I hate it! OH! Why the hell must Dreamweaver be sooo complicated? I've got some sad news though. For ELDDS' Black box, which is like this drama competition, since my group didn't hand in the script, I'm in PROPS! Okay, I must admit it is quite cool, but it feels better to be on stage, that way, people will know how hard you're working and will appreciate you. instead of hiding backstage the whole day. Never mind, I guess I'll just have to bear with it. Anyway, I wanted to join the debate part anyway. My brother is leaving for his sailing trip soon, for about a month or so. He says he'll buy me and my sis a boomerang when he arrives in Australia. I hope he remembers though. Oh, and I think the Navy uniform is very cool. That's just me though. I really should be studying now, for the Lit test on Monday, but I can't be bothered. I'm good at Lit anyway, and there isn't much to study f0r. I'm gonna go watch Prison Break... Last four episodes.... HOLD YOUR BREATH! // Thursday, August 2, 2007, 9:29 PM |
