I love writing. I love creating stories. I love letting my imagination loose to explore itself, to find out exactly its depth of it. I love exercising my vocabulary, all those words with many syllables that mean but a simple thing, all the synonyms available to just describe the simplest of feelings. I love relating my imagination to reality, and writing's my best chance to do it. Every stroke of a letter, every letter of a word, every word of a sentence, every sentence of a paragraph, every paragraph of a story; that's what makes up my life. And what would be better than to be one of the special few qualified to do it? To me, almost nothing else.
The pen is mightier than the sword, even though the sword can very well slice the pen in half, no matter how sturdy it is. But the pen. The pen is an instrument that creates. Beautiful, heartwarming tales, or repulsive, horrifying nightmares. The pen can create any of these, out of thin air. The sword is an extension of one's hands, and in the palms of a master, it can create grace and harmony like no other. But the sword was originally created as a weapon, a tool of destruction, carnage and chaos. The sword, like any other weapon, kills. I would rather become a person of high prestige and be remembered for the stories I create, than be remembered for the mountains of men I conquered. Which is why I choose the pen, though it is humble and smallish.
Creative Writing for TV and New Media requires 13 points. After cutting off, my aggregate is 16. I'm heading down to SP later in the afternoon to inquire from them the options available to me. Wish me luck people =). For once in a very long while, I'm going to need it. [Keith wrote this, thanks for reading! =D]Y,

Lol. I woke up expecting to see SP on my phone, and was like all down on myself when I saw NYP lol =p. Even though I had wanted it months ago, I changed my mind to the course at SP. So now I'm deciding whether or not I should appeal. Between a course I orginally wanted, and a course that I was really looking forward to. People, I need your opinions! Btw, SP seems like the better poly than NYP, but NYP is three mrt stops from my house. But let's forget about that and focus solely on the courses ^^.
I figured out one reason why poly > JC. I dont have to take chinese. Muahahahahahahaha. ^^
Bertrand Russell:
Three passions have governed my life: The longings for love, the search for knowledge, And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness. In the union of love I have seen In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of [people]. I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens, But always pity brought me back to earth; Cries of pain reverberated in my heart Of children in famine, of victims tortured And of old people left helpless. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, And I too suffer.
This has been my life; I found it worth living.

Some reasons I didn't consider Poly as a place to go for me. One, I don't want to spend everyday deciding what I'm gonna wear, and since it's casual attire, nor do I want to wear the same outfit everyday. And no, uniforms do not count, since EVERYONE wears it, so it doesnt matter. For a guy, I take a surprisingly long time to decide what I'm going to wear ==". So yeah, it would be quite the bother. Two, I actually didnt even look into any poly pamphlet i was given. I didnt have any course in mind that i wanted to check out. I didnt know what job i wanted to do. So I wanted to head to JC. Heck, SAJC's just a 200m walk/stroll/mad dash/ cycle away! Lol. Three, I don't really like to be in an overcrowded place lol. 30k plus students, distributed among 5 polys. It doesnt take a math genius nor a 12 year old kid to know that's alot of students per school O_O.
I would think up of more reasons right now (haha), but I won't. Because I'm lazy. I've got this lazy streak going on for some reason.
Look below, you will see an iguana-like creature. I am sitting exactly like said iguana-like creature, except while typing. I am in a very relaxed position. And I am lazy. And bored. Therefore I show you a picture of a relazing iguana-like creature. You must be pretty bored too. reading this block of text that is regarding this iguana-like creature. =D
Because I can.

My feelings right now? Honestly, I'm feeling alright. I'm not feeling depressed nor suicidal, just... disappointed. To sum everything up in one word, that would be disappointment. I failed what others had expected of me. I failed myself. The only reason I'm not taking a knife and slitting myself is because I thought everything out thoroughly before my results. I had a plan. Backup plans. Backup plans for my Backup plans. They say that when you fail to plan you plan to fail? Well, I planned, and I failed =p. Lol'ed right there. My aggregate... it's not something I can be proud of. Not to sound arrogant or anything, but I know I was better than that. There was subjectws I expected to get that kind of score, and there were others that were just wtf. Lol. Upon receiving my results, seeing that score... It surprised me with glee and wtfness all together, prompting me to open the letter to check out my L1R5. I did well, and I did horrible at the same time. Is that possible?
As I always say, things that you have no control over, don't care. Move along. And that's what I'm doing. Finding an alternative route to continue my life, to reach my dreams. I shall reveal which poly courses i chose in due time, right after I get assigned to one =p.
My L1R4 is 18, L1R5 24. Thanks for reading all the way here.
English - A2
Combined Humanities - C6
E Maths - B3
A Maths - B4
Biology - C6
Combined Science - B3
Chinese - C6
The triple sixes are WHAT THE FUCK right there. I did pleasantly well for my maths and english.

St Andrews > Anderson > Catholic > Nanyang > Pioneer > Innova.
That's my options, and priorities. Surprisingly, the easier the jc is to get into, the more advanced is their website O_O. Check out Pioneer's and Innova's, you'll seriously gape in awe.
Nothing much happened this few days. Except that I reminded myself that I only completed two things that I wanted to do during the holidays. That is, to improve my basketball dribbling, and learn guitar. There were so many things everyone planned to do ==". I wanted to improve my 3point shooting, learn the spin move, GET A JOB, hang out with my primary school peeps, eat two consecutive all you can eat buffets and yadda yadda. Lol. I spent my days mostly sleeping, eating, playing computer ==". If I'm not doing that, I'm out playing ball. Note, playing not training ==". Grr.
But I learnt alot of things about myself too. I am a really really lazy person lol. When sleep and food is involved, my willpower is really weak. I am a very indecisive person ==". I need to discipline myself.
lol. Well. two days. After that, everything will change, everyone will move onto their own respective paths. Hopefully, I'll see everyone again someday. Life is but a series of rooms, and who we get stuck in the rooms with are what makes life interesting. I was glad I was stuck in the room that is GMSS ^^. See you in another room guys, two days later. [Keith wrote this, thanks for reading! =D]Y,

We were both in Clarke Quay, by the river side in the night time counting stars. We were lying down together on one of those pool chairs, somehow big enough to fit the both of us. Her head was resting on my chest/shoulder area, with my right arm hugging her close. Facing me, her right arm was hugging me. We were having small talk. I did not know what we talked about, because I don't remember hearing anything, only seeing her mouth move. Then, out of nowhere, She suddenly leans in and kisses me on the forehead. I shot her an awkward look, followed by an awkward smile. This one memorable moment in this dream was that she then gave me this megawatt smile. I remember this scene the clearest, this megawatt smile that she shone at me. I immediately looked away, but she then leans over again, and kisses me on the cheek. I turned to her again with an awkward look. She just smiled again and says," Guess I still like you Keith!" I then woke up in my dream world, appearing to have woken up from that dream, feeling rather surprised, happy, and depressed at the same time. Surprised because this is a girl I have not seen in years, nor have I kept in contact with due to lack of phone number and email address. This girl was out of my life since primary school, and I don't even remember being very good friends with her then. I opened my door ready to head out, and there she was, looking as pleasant as she can be, hands behind her back holding her purse. I looked into her eyes, and she gave me a smirk; she had the exact same dream as I did. As I stood there dazed at this apparition of delight, she said," I like you, Keith."
After this, I then really woke up from dream world and entered reality. There I was, lying on my bed, eyes open wide as I slowly realized where I was. Was I awake, or still dreaming? Everything felt so real, as dreams make you feel. I don't have dreams like this often, one could say once in a blue moon. So does it hold any meaning to me for it to appear on the first day of the new year? Whatever it is, only time will tell.
On a side note, I have this feeling that this dream would make a good idea for a manga =p. The hero dreaming about this girl from his childhood, and this girl confesses to him in that dream. As that guy wakes up to a doorbell, he gets up to answer the door. Lo and behold, it's that same girl, and she confesses to him on the spot as the guy stands there in his boxers and tee shirt in a daze. Thus begins this new couple's misadventures. What do you all think ^^? [Keith wrote this, thanks for reading! =D]Y,
