I don't know what to say. Should I? Or shouldn't I? Do I even? Anyway, there's roughly 22 days to my birthday. And what I'd really want for a present, other than a HUUUGE CUDDLY BEARBEAR, is... SHANNON GETTING A BOYFRIEND!!! :D (Do you hear me, Shannon Lee Xin-Jing? Yes, I am talking to you.) I have a potential suitor for her already. They look so adorable together! <3 HAHAHAHAHA. Ohkay, signing off now, before I become a walking, aching-all-over zombie tomorrow. |

I've looked back on previous posts. Some make me smile, but some make me want to cry. If only life is as easy as it seemed to be back then. Things have really changed. Mistake after mistake, I've finally come to the point where I'm the most pessimistic and cynical about life. But education is part and parcel of it. I could've chose to ignore truths. But no matter how far you run, life lessons always manage to catch up with you and effectively slam the brutal truth in your face, making you realise the true nature of your circumstances. Running away, I've realise, is one of the easiest way out, but also one of the most cowardly. Yet only the strong-willed can survive under so much pressure. Frankly speaking, if I am not that afraid of pain, I would have most probably taken a knife and slit my wrists. Fear is your worst enemy, yet it controls you. I believe (no matter how most people like to deny this) that no man or woman is above fear. But, in a way, it controls you to a certain extent, before it eventually engulfs you and insanity follows. Let's face it- life is hard. And in the fast-paced 21st century, it's survival of the fittest, just like Darwin predicted it would be. P.S.: My reference to Charles Darwin and his evolution theory DOES NOT mean that I am claiming the humans DEFINITELY came from monkeys (although that is what scientist claim is true, nowadays). Go ahead and believe what you want, no one's stopping you. |

The Charge Of The Light Brigade This poem was written to memorialize a suicidal charge by light cavalry over open terrain by British forces in the Battle of Balaclava (Ukraine) in the Crimean War (1854-1856). 247 men of the 637 in the charge were killed or wounded. Britain entered the war, which was fought by Russia against Turkey, Britain and France, because Russia sought to control the Dardanelles, and that threatened British sea routes. Most of us know of this war today because of Florence Nightingale, who trained and led nurses aiding the wounded during the war in a manner innovative for those times. Or because it was cited in the movie The Blind Side, that is based on the true story of Michael Oher, left tackle of the Baltimore Ravens. (I am so digressing here.) I don't know much about football, but I've heard that, most of the time, the left tackle is the player who receives the 2nd highest pay (after the quarterback). Basically, they're paid for defending the quarterback and protecting his blind side. Their high pay is all thanks to Lawrence Taylor who broke Joe Theismann's leg because he had the ball. Theismann never played another game of football after that incident (go watch the video on youtube or at the start of the movie) where he suffered from a compound fracture (ow). You can even see his leg and how gruesomely it was bent when Taylor broke it. But Taylor wasn't sued, because Theismann was insured (all American Football players are- it's a dangerous sport). I don't know how many legs Oher has broken, and I certainly don't want to know. Anyway, it's a brilliant but sad poem. The bolded lines sound like what kids nowadays have to do- listen to their teachers or die. It's funny, really, in a sad way. |

My 111st post! Hope I'll be able to reach 1111 someday. Haven't been posting much, but since today's a special day, I shall go ahead. If I should lie in an endless sleep This is a short poem by my close friend. I know it doesn't rhyme, but who are you to say that it's a bad poem just because it doesn't rhyme? It's short and sweet and captures exactly what she's trying to say. The total opposite of what I can do. The doll stared at the world with its glassy eyes, |
