WATERS OF MARCH


a stick, a stone
it's the end of the road
it's the rest of the stump
it's a little alone
it's a sliver of glass
it is life, it's the sun
it is night, it is death
it's a trap, it's a gun
the oak when it blooms
a fox in the brush
the knot of the wood
the song of the thrush
the word of the wind
the cliff, a fall
a scratch, a lump
it is nothing at all
it's the wind blowing free
it's the end of a slope
it's a beam, it's a void
it's a hunch, it's a hope

and the riverbank talks
of the waters of march
it's the end of the strain
it's the joy in your heart

the foot, the ground
the flesh and the bone
the beat of the road
a slingshot stone
a truckload of bricks
in the soft morning light
the shot of the gun
in the dead of the night
a mile, a must
a thrust, a bump
its'a girl, it's a rhyme
it's a cold, it's the mumps
the plan of the house
the body in bed
and the car that got stuck
it's the mud, it's the mud
a float, a drift
a flight, a wing
a cock, a quail
oh, the promise of spring

and the riverbank talks
of the waters of march
it's the promise of life
it's the joy in your heart
a point, a grain
a bee, a bite
a blink, a buzzard
a sudden stroke of night
a pin, a needle
a sting, a pain
a snail, a riddle
a wasp, a stain
a snake, a stick
it is john, it is joe
a fish, a flash
a silvery glow
the bed of the well
the end of the line
the dismay on the face
it's a loss, it's a find
a spear, a spike
a point, a nail
a drip, a drop
the end of the day
and the river bank talks

of the waters of march
it's the promise of life
it's the joy in your heart
the end of the road
a little alone
a sliver of glass
a life, the sun
a night, a death
the end of the run

and the river bank talks
of the waters of march
it's the promise of life
it's the joy in your heart

Not tired, just mentally distracted.

S'times I hate life's irony.

That Passing Moment

We were driving along the streets in poppy's car.
I think it's aft sch or sth.
The sky's in a weird colour.
Slightly dark with a tinge of purple.
With erratic clouds.

Suddenly, a siren wailed.
I looked up the sky and saw fighter planes swooping ard.
Bullets started raining down.
Everyone's running ard in a frenzy.
Ppl falling, staggering, dying in front of me.

Soldiers started charging out from the corners of the streets.
We were abt to turn into a corner of the road when a soldier halted our car.
He signaled for me to get out.
The 1st thing I noticed was his rifle.

I looked ard and saw soldiers shooting at the civilians in their hands.
I know wad's in stall for me.
A sudden surge of bitterness overwhelmed me.
I looked back at Pops.

Like what they say, I saw flashes of my life in front of me.
I saw the things I've done, the ppl I love.
I rmbed the things that I've wanted to do, the words I wanted to say, the ppl I wanted to see, all the ppl I'm so afraid I'll never see...
It's so scary.
That moment is just pure heartache.
All I wanted to do was to reach out for pop's hand and pray tgt.

Then I heard the shot.
I felt it gng thru my back.

I waited.

I waited for the time to come when I'll feel the pain.
When I'll feel faint.
When I'll feel like I'm slipping away.

It never came.

I saw them taking pops away.
And I lay on the floor, waiting.

In the midst of the chaos, I sat up.
Puzzled.
And started walking home.

I heard another siren.

I sat up in bed and realised that pops' calling.
And I'm late for sch.

I had that dream more than 2 weeks ago.
But I can still rmb vividly how I felt when I think I'm going to die.
I never thot I'll be upset, because I noe I'll be in good hands aft dat.
But realising I will nv see my loved ones again, forever...
And that multitude of things I've left undone, the words I've never dared or bothered to say, the love I've never showed enuf...
That passing moment is enuf to make one cry.

Nice Prof :)

I aspire to go for ALL my GEK lessons from now on.
Even the lecture on thursday, b4 the tutorial.
Because the prof is SOOO swt!!

I emailed him abt my interview today.
It was scheduled at 5pm (or so the HR person tells me), but I actually have to report 45mins earlier to do the written component (only got to know it thru the email which was sent MANY days ltr).
My tutorial ends at 4pm. How to go -_-

And I have been delaying this interview for almost a mth already coz the timing that they gave me all clash with my lessons.
So I emailed the prof to explain the situation and even offered to forward him the email for verification if he requires.

He replied in the morning:
"Liling, no worries. Do well in your interview ok? All the best to you."

Aiyo sweet or wad?! Din even ask me to forward him the email...

And because he's so nice, quite sad to see him looking disappointed when the class is more than half empty...
Since the mod is already so slack, I think the least I can do is go for his lect lah...

Ok, HISTORY readings time (damn the word puts me off alrdy.... reminder: test in 2 weeks time)

Planned and Jotted.

did sth useful today :)

- registered for commencement
- prepared for interview (kind of)
- sorted out my notes and files
- started countdown to paper due, quiz and exams (time to START doing history readings)
- got reply from lecturer that my term paper topic is ok and can go ahead with further research
- got back term paper results for History and Systems. Not too bad, reminds me of the satisfaction I get when I read my own term papers when it's done :)

wonder whr shall we go aft my interview tmr...

Time for QT and bedtime prayer.

Loved ones, pls pray for my interview tmr k?
That I'll have God's peace with me so that I'll be calm and not jittery, wisdom to answer the questions coherently and intelligently, and that I will be able to give my best and leave a good impression.

Results wise, I'm leaving it all to God coz I believe He has a plan for me. As long as I give my best shot at the opportunities that He provides me with :)

Night all!!
