Some Memories rediscovered

September 24, 2008

Haven’t been active here for some time, and most likely this trend will continue. I’ve never been the blogging type, started this ‘cos during the sem break had some free time. Now I’m so totally out of time almost every day. It’s the recess week, and thus I can afford to go slow and rest abit. and post here.

was doing abit of springcleaning of my room, or rather my part of the room shared between me and my bro. actually intended to do a quickfix, but ended up spending an entire day cleaning up. haha i even wiped and digged at my keyboard to make it real clean. everything is nice and neat and clean and i can study in peace now. only thing though, is that i have yet to clean up my really messy wardrobe, that’s half full of clothes that dun even belong to me… and i suspect some of my own clothes are lounging somewhere in my siblings’ closets. sigh.

And so during my spring cleaning, i rediscovered some really memorable items. numerous letters from friends long ago. i even found this little portfolio of writings i did in sec 2, which i totally had no recollections of. In it i had numerous self-written poems. haha although they seem a little silly now, but i’m amazed at how creative i was at poetry. and the english used still make sense to me even now when i look at them. haha even got comments from my teacher that it was a brave attempt and that i was very expressive. for some self-ego boost i’ll reproduce them here:

and what better poem to start with, than this titled “Memories”

Memories

Mem’ries far and near

Etched deep in my mind

Mem’ries are but lessons learnt, and experiences of life

Oh, how time passes!

Reaching deep under

Yearning for childhood joys.

Hatred

Eyes red

Beaten down bad

Vision blurring

Head hurting

Teeth clenched

Ignoring the pain

Cruel laughter rings in my ears

Smug faces taunt me

I listened

Rage and Hate wrecking my soul

As the laughter and shouts of “Loser!”

Slowly but painfully faded away.

Me

I am Sagittarius the archer

Who hates teachers

Born in December

When my father was eating cucumber

I shall be brave

But I like to laze

I think i’m stupid

For my mother say

I am like a pig

I am the nineteen eighty-six tiger

Who is also a superb gamer

I shall be friendly

But I like to be naughty

I think I shall be good

For it suits my mood

The School

Life has found itself a kingdom

In a growing school

Lying in the bright west

Where the students are the best

The melodic sound they make

Opens a gate of happiness

Here and there

You can hear the thuds of balls

Now and then

You can hear voices shouting across the floor

A bell rings

The balls stop thudding

The noisy students seems lifeless

Everything is motionless

They may be having their lessons quietly

But their minds are wandering actively

Going to Say Bye-Bye

A masked face is what you see

That’s why you can’t see my sadness

I managed a smile

Hiding my new loneliness

Witnessing the time for us to part

Yet I could do nothing

Six years of time… flew by

It’s time to say bye-bye

Let’s treasure what is left

And look to the future

Paradise

Crystal clear water

Fresh fragrant breeze

Jade-green plains

Deep rich forests

Full of life…

Tranquil Paradise

Men came

Water turned muddy

Sharp stagnant air

Grey metropolis

Buzzing of chainsaws

Ending the forests

Paradise turned into Hell

Life

Life is precious

Fragile it seems

Can be filled with emotions

Or of vacuum emptiness

Life… can be

Bitter

Sweet

Sour

or Spicy

Whatever it is

Life goes on

And on

“Oh God! What is life of a mortal”

Life… filled with all sorts of events

That makes us what we are

Ok, that’s all i did. And what’s more, apparently these were even earlier attempts done at the end of primary 6, which i used for this sec 2 project. haha. really 懐かしい~

Well, I’ve been making some really great memories recently. This 2nd academic year has been a truly wonderful start so far. I hope it continues…

and meanwhile, to ensure it remains wonderful, i must study harder this time, to pull up my rather dismal CAP >.<

俺、頑張ります!

じゃ、will prolly come back here in a few months time. でわまた。
