I hope you dance




I first heard this song in my first literature class during JC. The task for us was to bring something "poetic" to class and talk about it, saying why you think it's poetic. I brought a dried rose, and called it time. I think i said the rose was an encapsulation of time, artificially frozen in the rose. While time continues to tick by in the surrounding, the rose alone, stays the same. And we wonder, is that really beauty? Is that really what we want, everytime we wish to "freeze the moment"? (ok fine, perhaps i spruced it up a little here hehhe, well i couldn't remember what 17years old me said!) Anyway, thinking back, i think that answer was very typical, very typcially me too; model answer for "poetic item", not going beyond the boundaries drawn. Doing ok,  not excellent.

This here is different.

I will bet with you, apart from myself, nobody else remembers what i, or anyone else, brought to that class. Except for this song, brought by jo (hello boojie!), (and maybe that lame idea of a joke when Luke took off his shoe and insisted it was poetic. i rmb that too.) You see my dear, this post is dedicated to you. I just wanted to say, I still remember your song! =) It was from a time before i started listening to english music (which i think is thrashy though catchy now). Yet, of all the songs, every single time i feel down and need some inspiration, i come right back to it. I kid you not; 6 years and still the same. So thank you boojie, you see, you were born to inspire. You didn't need to be a teacher to do it. But being in that position where you're heading, I'm sure you'll do much much more. =)

Enjoy the song!

Recluse

Once every so often, I like to withdraw into myself and shut out the world- whimsically. Just stop talking. No real reasons. Not really the first time. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps, this is a part of me that needs some getting used to. Perhaps, the people who knows me, knows this happens. Perhaps, the people who do, doesnt exist. Perhaps i'm wrong- Perhaps this is selfish. But once, just once, every so often- i'd like to claim my leave from social behaviors. Just once every so often, i'd like to disappear. Take the phone off the hook- for ages. -I'm sorry though, if my habits hurt. And i do so appreciate the concern too. But, like my daddy says: ourself knows best. sk

this is really bad.

I have officially lost interest in sleep. (Or work, for that matter.) Came across an old blog post where i did this huge list of personality tests and decided to do sth immensely useless: hahha THEN & NOWW! XD so here we go, really quick! 1) THEN: Your Brain is 47% Female, 53% Male Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female You are both sensitive and savvy Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve What Gender Is Your Brain? NOW:  Your Brain is 67% Female, 33% Male Your brain leans female You think with your heart, not your head Sweet and considerate, you are a giver But you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you! 2) THEN:   You Are Pretty Logical You're a bit of a wizard when it comes to logic While you don't have perfect l...

End of exams.

i don't feel much about the end of exams actually- i guess that is a signal that perhaps i didn't work hard enough and build up the hunger for relaxation while mugging, hence i don't feel the surge of relief. Ah- i miss that feeling much actually. next sem will be a better sem. YES IT WILL BE. -------------------------- Preceptorship will commence on the coming Monday. I am rather excited about it, and I look forward to a time of learning and actually applying the knowledge that i have learnt in school. I believe if you ever meet a pharmer undergrad, you will hear the same unanimous complain about how there doesn't seem to be a meaning in doing what we are doing. How it feels like we are simply dead memorising the cold, hard, facts. How we all disagree with the system and feel that university education should be about thinking- and how it's been a long time since we last did more of that. For me, the curriculum has honestly entrenched certain doubts in this career p...
