Of the Lack of Updates
Millions of apologies for the lack of updates.But then again,how many people actually reads my blog nowadays anyway?Especially after the password i placed upon this blog,i guess the number of readers greatly decreased.I guess i just had to take a break.Anyway,here is an update on what i have been doing since the last entry.
Of being Lethargic
It is the holidays,and like my friend said there is always an underlying struggling when it comes to studying during the holidays.Everyone is stuck now in this holidays,wondering whether to study for the mid years or not.I must admit,studying for it is important.After all,screwing it up means screwing up your self esteem.Your A levels probably wouldnt be too well after that anyway.But the fact that it is a holiday,makes things a little more complicated than usual.One reason for it,is the definition of the word itself.Or perhaps,how we were trained to do during holidays.Eat,sleep,televisons and the usual.Basically,enjoyment.Not that i havent studied during the holidays before.In fact,studying during the March and September holidays had been a norm for me since i stepped into hell aka Junior College.However,never this long a holiday and this much to study.The holiday is halfway through and nothing much is done.Panickin?Of course,but i havent got much enthusiasm to do anything,anyway.I feel lethargic,and the worst thing is i am allowing myself to be lethargic.At the end of the day,im probably going to lose out.But hell,i dont seem to care.Ten years in this accursed education system,anybody would be bored of it.In fact,ten years of anything is boring.You ask me to party for ten years and i'll probably bury myself in two.Argh.It is such a pain to flip open books during holidays,and it really stinks like hell.
Of Staying Up All Night
Krishna and Samuel stayed over at my place on Thursday night.Krishna was leaving for Indonesia on Friday,and he just wanted to spend some time with his buds.Well,it was fine with me.So i set the beds,moved the sofa and got ready for their arrival.They wanted to study,but Samuel ended up sleeping while we played lots of games on my computer.We didnt sleep the whole night,and i stayed up to type this story i am working on.(Details to be given later.)We played games until about 3am,and Samuel was knocked out.And as for Krishna,he fell asleep on my sofa at 330am.I was left alone in the room,and i started typing my story while playing Chopin over my computer.(Literally,that is.)Oh well,the night drew on and come to think about it,it is the second time i am staying up the whole night to do something.When i was in Taiwan i used to do things like that too,but i managed to catch an hour or two of sleep.This time,i went all the way till morning.Anyway,i woke Krishna up at 430am,and we started talking.Man talk,ladies wouldnt be interested anyway.Haha.I tried to sleep,but couldnt.Since the game he was playong was too loud,and this song kept going through my mind.Sometimes,when you are too tired,you cant sleep.It is a weird thing,at least that happens to me.Anyway,we talked about his diary,and i read a few entries of his.Haha.To be honest,even though some of his entries are classified under the "Restricted" zone,i couldnt read them.He's handwriting still suck.Though i am pretty pleased that my name was mentioned in a couple of entries.It is always nice to see your name mentioned,isnt it?Anyway,Samuel woke up at 8.30am,and he started playing games again while Krishna slept.Haha.It was fun,and it is nice to be doing that with old friends again.Something i wouldnt do with my JC friends.(Most are girls,what can i do?I dont think they'd allow themselves to spend the night in the same room with a guy.)Oh well,he's probably in Indonesia now,and enjoy yourself there dude.It is boring there according to you but,make the best out of it i guess?;)
Of Books and Novels
Ive been working on this story i have in mind since the beginning of the holidays.At the start of this week i finally began writing it on my computer.Personally,and honestly,i am not a great writer.In fact,after reading through a few paragraphs i realised why Mr Ragu had so much ease while failing my essays back in Secondary School.Oh well,cant be blamed.Not everybody writes very well.I guess my talent for writing exists only here in blogs.Expressing feelings,and not stories.Haha.Sad,but true.Anyway,friends of mine should know what genre of book i am working on.Yeah,you got that right.Fantasy.Ive been trying on different sorts of books since i was in Primary School.Comics and GooseBumps in Primary School to SciFi and Thriller in Secondary School.At the late end of Secondary School,thanks to Timothy i picked up The Lord of the Rings and fell in love with Tolkien's writing.Tolkien created a mythology for England,which had very little mythology to speak of really.(King Arthur is not an English Mythology.It is actually from France.)Anyway,any fantasy novels after that must have some sort of connection with his story one way or another.Even C.S Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia had influences.Not to mention the Harry Potter series.(The Cave Troll,Dementors,WormTail,Giant Spiders.Ringing any bells?)Oh well,my own storys struggled when trying to leave the Tolkien influence behind.But i guess i got over the fact that his influence cannot be denied,and continued writing.Anyway,there are 25 chapters altogether,and i am currently on chapter 11.Haha.Almost 30000 words.I cant believe myself.Perhaps i should be the next Christopher Paulini.His book "Eragon" went to bestsellers everywhere,and he is 19 years old.19 years old.I have a year to catch up.Just you wait!Krishna is a book enthusiast,and we both agreed to exchange novels at the end of the holidays.He himself is working on one,with relations to "Good Will Hunting".(I think.)Basically,it deals with human nature,and finding the trueself within oneself sorta thing.I can never understand,but with his skills of writing i do not doubt that that would be a problem.Anyway,i was thinking of a colaboration.He is good at writing and i am good at imagining,why not we write my story together.Haha.I am thinking about sending it to some publisher to get it published.Oh well,dreams and more dreams.I am pursueing it,and whether i can get there is still a problem.It is a milestone,that is for sure.
The story starts with a war upon the Fields of Redika.The forces of darkness attacks from the South,and the King's son,the Prince of Noventine was defeated during the battle and was slayed by the "Cloaked and Nameless".The King was dismayed,and through the witch,Lady Valdina,he meets the Forsakened Angel,who gives him four seeds which grows into four fruits.These fruits are to be given to four children of the king's choice,and they shall be the bane to the darkness' existence.Tristan,Johanna,Yavanna and Lancent were the chosen one,and together with Lady Valdina and Ethecton,the king's trusted man,they set out on an adventure to the centre of the land of darkness upon a flying ship.On the journey they meet ghostly pirates,ferocious wolves,flying terror and then Lord of Narathak himself.A battle is than raged upon the skies of Noventine,between thousands of flying ships while another battle occurs before the City of Aros.(Think about the scene with thousands of ships in Troy,without the water.And the orcs attacking Minas Tirith in The Return of the King.Put the first scene in the sky,then insert that image into the second scene.Yeah,thats what i have in mind.)
Ive figured out all the plot twists and stuff.After some reviews from friends,it is a good story.Damn,i cannot write very well.Hopefully someone could help?
Of Getting Over
I am proud to say,that i have finally gotten over her.Friends mention her to me nowadays once in a while,and i am not excited by it at all.Is this a sad thing?To be able to get over someone?I guess technically it is a good thing.After all,one man cannot stay forever in the past and dwell not in the future.Friends like Ahmad asked me go on,while friends like Corinna advice me to move on.Everything advices like that come along,i take it silently.I guess this time,ive learnt to live life the way Corinna asked me to.Moving on,it was easier than i thought.If i did that last year,things wouldve been a lot easier i guess?Anyway,i got over her.Thats the main point.But moving on to what?I dont know.Most people would expect someone to move on to the next target.But i havent got a target to move on to.Haha.I am thinking that i might end up like Sizemore!(A character i saw in a movie while having lunch this afternoon.)Oh no,lifeless.Stays at home and collects old records.Hating his own hobby and unable to relate to 99% of the world's population.He claims that he lives in another world and another dimension.Oh well,i might just end up as Sizemore #2.I feel the same way too sometimes.Anyway,she's over and done.Finished and gone.She's over.Though i told myself that,there's still a slight sour rush to my nose,when it comes to forgetting her.I know this is not totaly erasure of memory whatsoever,i know i can still look back,but i guess i just miss the days when i can wake up in the morning to know that she's going to be around my mind,and be the motivation for me to move on.We made a promise,to go to the same university once.I guess that dream might might stay as a dream after all.Anyway,i am proud to say that ive gotten over her,and thats that.Departure is sad,but inevitable i guess?
Song of the Moment---If I Aint Got You by Alicia Keys
Look Through the Reflection of the Eyes that was set Ablazed
Eyes are the windows to a hidden world.
Opens out into a space unknown.
Ablazed are the eyes,burning up the soul.
Look into this utopia,to this wonderland we go.
---'Eyes Ablazed' by Weilien
