Rainbow connection =DD

Why are there so many songs about rainbows And what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, And rainbows have nothing to hide. So we've been told and some choose to believe it I know they're wrong, wait and see. Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, The lovers, the dreamers and me. Who said that every wish would be heard and answered when wished on the morning star? Somebody thought of that and someone believed it,and look what it's done so far. What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing? And what do we think we might see? Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers and me. All of us under its spell, we know that it's probably magic.... Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices? I've heard them calling my name. Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors? The voice might be one and the same. I've heard it too many times to ignore it. It's something that I'm sup

happiness.

i suppose happiness is an entirely subjective thing. i also suppose that the benchmark for happiness will vary with time. so, it'seither that my benchmark has heightened, or that i'm starting to see things in a different perspective- one that didn't use to be my own. sk

Another week flew past, and looking back on the past two weeks, i think i have done many things that leaves much more to be desired. I'm not just talking about school work per se though. School has been intriguing! I really do honestly enjoy learning new things with each lecture. I am having fun in lectures! =D So let me dedicate a short something for each of my lecturer. Physiology: my lecturer's one funny man! seriously! his sense of wit, sarcasm and humour is unparalleled, [yes, even by me! =D]! I haven't once sat through a lecture without wondering in amazement, what sort of person he exactly is. Lol, like for example, when he was teaching us about how multiple excitations from various neurones can arrive at a single post synaptic membrane. He links this to multi- tasking. "how amazing the human body don't you think? that we're able to do so many things at one time. Like how i find it exceptionally amazing that some students can be looking at me a

THE SHOCK DOCTRINE

Hello Earth! Indeed, the almighty important one has been missing in action for a substantial period of time. But they all say- absence makes the heart grow fonder aye? =D I'M SURE. So here i am, attempting to, once again, resurrect and keep to the commitment of updating this place. Hopefully. =) Anyways, I'm currently reading this book called THE SHOCK DOCTRINE, by Naomi Klein. A background on this book: SHOCK. Yes, shock is the all and everything that embodies the contents of this book. No, it's not what I'll class as fiction. It revolves around events that are occuring in the here and now of the world today. Having said that it is not fiction, i must say, that the contents of the book is about as unreal and shocking, if not more, than fiction. In fact, the reality of the situation is what enhances the sense of shock one should feel when one reads the book. She reports to us the dirty little secrets of the real world that people, or rather, I, dont pay

the return of randomness.

HOHO! this place has been forsaken for quite a while hur?! right! cpr attempt no. 1! so! how has relief teaching for 2 months been? mm, enriching... in a way... tiring definitely. relief teaching isn't as easy as it seems i feel. at the very least, i managed to make something very clear for myself. I WILL NOT BE A TEACHER. no. unless it's an absolute desperate measure (which then brings me to pray all the very best for a decent a level results). not entirely because i don't enjoy the job. i do. i do think that the sense of fulfilment one gets in teaching, is probably unparalleled in other jobs. but the amount of *^*$^#-ness in exchange for that fulfilment, doesn't feel entirely worth the while. ie, i find myself &%#$^$#* rather than OSH! most of the time. so i would say, teaching is emotionally draining- for me that is. probably due to my manner of working. i have the habit of putting in too much of my expectations in the things i do. that just doesn't help me a
