Of the Clouds and the Sun
We had a awfully long day today...though we were released at 1.40...it felt like forever..2 consecutive PW periods in the morning followed by 4 periods of chinese back to back to back to back...yes you heard me right..4 periods..im pretty amazed how i actually sat through the week and still alive..PW was fine..other than the fact that i typed my presentation for the 3rd time in a row..Due to some technical error with the diskettes i was half dead by the time i reached the 3rd time..anyway..after that we got to LT1 for the dreadful chinese revision lecture..As usual..it was boring as hell..Valerie went to LT3..Hanwei went home..(Ain't surprised)leaving me and Rachel in LT1 together..we sat close to the back of the LT and was bored to the core..so we started playing Bingo..2 to 5...damn she won..that really sucked..then she drew my palm and the back of my hand...(She got pretty bored.)And very well done as well..i was pleasently surprised..i tried taking off her shoe..since she tried taking off mine yesterday..and she took her revenge on me and started taking off my shoes...wow she was crazy..attracting the attention of everyonein the LT..on my defence i used pens and highlighters to draw her hand to keep her itchy hands off my shoes..of course she did not kidnap my shoes..and she stopped after awhile..then she took my pencil box and poured everything out..Picking out the useless pens and placed the useful pens back in..And i did the same..gosh we were bored..basically we never listened to the lecturer at all..Twitch came in for the 3rd lecture and i started imitating him..he's a really odd teacher i have to say..but the most interesting lecture by far...the mere sight of his face cracks me up..went out to talk to ravish on my hp...since mr yeo didnt allow anyone to talk on the phone in class..so i went to the back corridor of the T rooms on the second floor to talk to him..Staring at the walkway i saw her walking out with her classmates..out of the sch...Ponning i guess...clever..she was late this morning..very rare since her dad fetches her to sch almost everyday..(i assume...)i was walking home after the loong loong dreadful day..and was walking down the slope towards the front gate...when i looked up into the sky and saw the clouds..the sky was covered with extremely enormous and beautiful cumulonimbus clouds..towering over the country reaching up high into the sky..Huge vast shadows were cast onto the streets and grassfields on my right..the wind blew softly on my cheek..as i strolled home on the lovely noon..Sun peep through occasionally through the gaps between the clouds..making the clouds look like some vanilla icecream..on top the clouds were as white as white..below at the shadowed side of the cloud it was dark and flat...almost as if it was shaved by a big shaver..havent saw such beautiful clouds in a couple of days...maybe weeks...or even month...maybe i was too depressed..or too sad...i never bothered to look up...always looking down on the ground where everything's always the same..hard tiled floor...concrete ground..grassy land...ever the same...no change all year round..except maybe some ocassional rain..which makes the ground soggy and slippery..today i looked up..i finally have the courage to look up...and to my surprise there's more to the sky than ive thought..i think im seeing things more clearly...i am regaining my confidence of things..gathering the guts and wits to look up into the sky...wondering whats upon the clouds and over the floating mountains and peaks..everytime i feel depressed..i will look up into the morning sky..and check out the ever changing clouds..Like chocolates in a box...you never know what you gonna get...i shall not be depressed anymore..at least not as often...the bluest sky is infinitely high and crystal clear..there are endless opportunities in life..and they are infinitely high..they are always there for you to grab hold of..whereas the ground ends at your feet..never more or further it goes..when in doubt..just look up..=)some food for thought..

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
Kat Stratford,' I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. I hate it, I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it that you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.'
