Much Intense Anticipation

Whoooo! Leaving for Japan today!!!

Dire Straits - On Every Street

The sacred and profane
The pleasure and the pain
Somewhere your fingerprints remain concrete
And its your face Im looking for on every street

A ladykiller - regulation tattoo
Silver spurs on his heels
Says - what can I tell you as Im standing next to you
She threw herself under my wheels
Oh its a dangerous road
And a hazardous load
And the fireworks over liberty expode in the heat
And its your face Im looking for on every street

A three-chord symphony crashes into space
The moon is hanging upside down
I dont know why it is Im still on the case
Its a ravenous townAnd you still refuse to be traced
Seems to me such a wasteAnd every victory has a taste thats bittersweet
And its your face Im looking for on every street

Training

Hmm, some goals for the holidays...

Get better with pencil, graphite, charcoal..
and paint the 3 canvases I bought.

So far advice has been given for me to imitate some artworks...
I'm going to come up with my own compositions but try to imitate the style.

Do some revision I guess. Heh. And read more books. That about covers it for now.

Ventis secundis, tene cursum.
Translatori: "Go even against the flow."

The quote that sparked off my anti-establishmentness :\
I'm bringing it back even though I've done away with it because I became obsessed with going against everything. So much so, I just didn't want to do anything at all. Trying to get out of that right now but uhh. Its quite difficult. But at least I'm going for ALL the supplementary lessons. :)

And maybe my thoughts and those of others aren't so different after all. Or at least they can relate or understand. Hmm... Be more open.

Anyhow I really love this quote because it lights up some determination in my... uh spirit/soul/force/chi powers/magic wand? heh anyhow it sort of gave me a purpose but I realised it was quite stupid to just go against everything just because I didn't like it. Yes with more than enough help from my friends telling me about my 'tiredness'.

Every door I ever tried was locked

A line from Lost! by Coldplay. Well this applies mostly to my Dad..

Someone said life is for the takin'
Here I am with my hand out
Waitin for a ride

Lyrics from Goin' Where The Wind Blows by Mr. Big.
Hmm I guess this shows a wrong perception of life. Life is for the taking but one has to go forth and (I'll use this word to make it sound epic) conquer life. One cannot wait for a free ride, doesn't really make the journey yours if you just jump on the bandwagon and follow along is it now?

Music is good; peaceful, calming, helps me to think...
Hm, well I hope I've inspired at least someone whoever reads this

0.05% Alcohol and Rum

Ahhh... Abstract painting is... not me. lol. Epic fail hoo! Cept for some stuff I thought was pleasant to look at. Yay art class won't be so small. People promoted. People who are more indifferent promoted lol. Yes yes, JM if you're reading this is why lol.
Lighter atmosphere to the class is better. Cos theres gonna be mega whining. And Mega irritating stuff. Oh yea and MISS YEO IS LEAVING ;( *tear*
Anyway... that aside the art teacher tht is teaching us now is mega nice. But we're not exactly showing appreciation, some were even quite rude to him.. wtf sia...

Oh history was hilarious. Only two people passed the test... So almost everyone has to go take a re-test tmr lawl.


Heh some facebook joke video by collegehumour. Brilliant people. :D

Ok tired lol side tracked to playing guitar...

Poem - Alone on the Train

Endless contemplation
While waiting at the station.

Two minutes before arrival.
The eager crowd park at the doors,
Their lives run at a race-pace.

Esteemed by suits and leather shoes.
Ignorantly armed with handheld of choice:
PSP, iphone, Nintendo DS

I wonder why there are fewer people,
And yet less space.

Inanimates on board.
It is quite laughable;
This cold silence.

One can only hope to feel the warmth,
From the - "life-form"
Spaced one seat away.

In a dream state
And lost in their own realms.

Command Input:
Give up seat to pregnant lady.
The signs tell them what to do.

An infant breaks the silence,
Crying out against the boredom.
Only to reiceve chilling stares.

Where has the Creator gone?
I send these things back with disapproval.


Written for a Literature assignment. Turned out alright although there isn't a recognisable form and no rhyme either. :\
A poem on a train ride.

Goin' Where The Wind Blows



Someone said life is for the takin'
Here I am with my hand out, waiting for a ride
I've been living on my great expectations
What good is it when I'm stranded here and the world just passes by
Where are the signs to help me get out of this place

CHORUS:
If I should stumble on my moment in time how will I know
If the story's written on my face does it show
Am I strong enough to walk on water
Smart enough to come in out of the rain
Or am i a fool going where the wind blows

Here I sit halfway to somewhere
Thinking about what's in front of me and what I left behind
On my own its supposed to be so easy
Is this what I've been after or have I lost my mind
Maybe this is my chance and its coming to take me away

CHORUS

Bridge:
Here I am what can make it through the world
Taking up space society's shadow
Make room for me, make room for me, make room for me

CHORUS

A great song by Mr. Big. At least the melodies during the song really fit the lyrics :\ I got to learn this song! How does one know if at some point in life, that sole moment will make the biggest change? How if you miss it? Uncertainties and wanting to run away from everything. Bottomline rocking song. Enjoy, who/whatever.
