Title: 3, 2, 1, AliceThere was a trio of brothers,
Triplets if you must know.
They cut up dogs and some cats,
You’d wish they’d reap what they sow.
There was a pair of siblings,
A brother and sister duo.
They wanted to stop the triplet’s crimes,
But in the end they dared not go.
There was a little girl called Alice,
Whose skin was as white as snow.
She saw the tormentors and the cowards,
In her mind a plan started to grow.
She invited them all to tea and cakes,
And smiled when they said no.
They died in their sleep after several nights,
Only Alice knew why it was so.
So bullies of the weak and helpless,
And those with a timid soul.
You all are equally unrighteous,
Just hope that Alice doesn’t show.

Hahas I had a lot of fun writing this... after all... it's Alice's debut! Hahas...
To me... this little girl named Alice is my personification of death. Some people have the Grim Reaper(with a skull head and dark hooded cloak with a death scythe), or a Shinigami(Bleach or Death Note take your pick), or even Azarel(the angel of death) But to me... death is like a whimsical little girl who'd came and goes as she pleases. Sometimes childishly sadistic and at other times gentle and sweet.
I had her on my mind for quite awhile now but didn't quite manage to find a way to put her in my writings. So I'm satisfied that I can debut her this way:)

Well I went out with Bernice today, met up at Causeway Point, ate some food, did some shopping and wasted a trip to the library. Hahas... had sadistic pleasure keeping her in suspense to keep her guessing what her Xmas and Bday presents are:) hahas... You don't have to feel guilty la silly girl:) It's what friends do for each other... or at least what I do for friends:) I hope you take care dear sis... Love ya lots:)

Yesh, believe it or not, I've finally decided to stick to a New Year's Resolution that's simple yet not so easy to fulfil. There are only 5:
1) Take one day off a week from camp till I ORD.(so far so good)
2) Do at least 30 sit-ups a day.(this got busted in the first week *insert sad face*)
3) Learn how to play the guitar to play the song "That's When I Love You"(fingers dying)
4) Find a school I can go to after NS.(in-progress)
5) Continue my novel.(no comment, it's depressing enough as it is)

I saw something recently on one of my nights-out of camp, I bought a ticket to watch
Guliver's Travels alone. But as I was waiting for the ticket attendant to start accepting tickets, a guy in Lot1 cineplex was waiting for his girlfriend and he looked a little nervous/angry/worried. I guess he was waiting for quite awhile and got a little high strung. But as soon as his girlfriend showed up, that look of relief on his face was so plain that it almost hurt me to watch.
His GF made a show of apologising for her lateness and he was saying that it was alright (trying to look every inch the confident and mature BF). As they entered the cinema the girl gave him a peck on his cheek for good measure, before their conversation collapsed into good natured bickering.
It's rare to see a couple so close that they can argue about everything, and have fun doing it. It shows that they've been together for awhile now, and yet not take each other for granted from the genuine concern the guy showed and the natural, chaste peck on the cheek the girl gave.
Somehow, when I looked at those two, I felt a slight pain in my heart accompanied with the thought,
I guess there's hope for the couples of today afterall.Labels: random stuff

It's been awhile since I had a post for discussions hahas... I wanna share something I realized while reflecting on the year 2010 as I planned my New Year Resolutions hahas... The topic this time would be on pain.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each time you get hurt, you come out of it a little stronger, and at some point you realize that there are more flavours of pain than ice-cream. There's the little empty pain of leaving something behind - graduating, taking the next step forward, walking out of something familiar and safe into the unknown. There's the big whirling pain of life upending all your plans and expectations. There's the sharp little pains of failure, and the more obscure aches of successes that didn't give you what they thought they would. There are the vicious, stabbing pains of hopes being torn up. The sweet little pains of finding others, giving them your love, and taking joy in their life as they grow and learn. There's the steady pain of empathy that you shrug off so you can stand beside a wounded friend and help them bear their burdens.
And if you're very, very lucky, there are very few blazing hot little pains you feel when you realize that you are standing in a moment of utter perfection, an instant of triumph, or happiness, or mirth which at the same time cannot possibly last - and yet will remain with you for life. Everyone is down on pain, because they forget something important about it: pain is for the living. Only the dead don't feel it.
Pain is a part of life. Sometimes it's a big part, and sometimes it isn't, but either way it teaches you, tells you you're alive. Then it passes away and leaves you changed. It leaves you wiser, sometimes. Sometimes it leaves you stronger. Either way, pain leaves its mark, and everything important that will ever happen to you in life is going to involve it in one degree or another.
