Happy Birthday, Hee Ai!! Yes, today's the birthday of my best friend. Sheng1 ri4 kuai4 le4! Joyeux anniversaire!I told you all that Cedar sap runs in my blood and started coursing into me sometime in August 1991... Because I didn't win the trophy.
Yes, the trophy isn't mine... But whose is it? My best friend's? No... guess again!
Basically nothing happened much today. Except that my pharyngitis got better. Yay!! ",< ^_^

Saturday, August 12, 2006: ?!?!?
Pardon me if you feel confused while reading this post... which, incidentally, is what the title is supposed to reflect - confusion!My brother is getting on my nerves, and that's that. If I harp on it, I'll go crazy.
I have so much in me... but how shall it be tapped? And do I have the time? I don't know... I just don't.
Crazy post, isn't it? Told you so!
Update at 3pm: The COPE elderly were so nice! Today we taught them to use e-mail. One of my groupmates fed back to me that I wasn't that good a teacher. I agree with my charge - they should have a demo first, followed by patch-ups by helpers (and for your info, I was a helper).
I think I'm getting another bout of pharyngitis. (The teacher said not to write in colloquial language, but it's easier to say that you've got a sore throat instead of saying that you've got pharyngitis. They mean the same thing anyway.) But my love for singing has never died because of stupid pharyngitis. C'est mon amor de chanter... et c'est très fort. (That's my love for singing... and it's very strong.)
Love for singing... makes me live to sing... and want to sing to live.
And if I can give no more, of my song I shall give
It's a gift in the highest, ever so pure and true
Meant to brighten spirits sad, dyed darkest, darkest blue...
Updates at 6.30pm: It's official... I DO NOT have the chance to follow the T.A.X. trio.
It was kind of psychic really. I was putting on my 'NJC IP Selection' ensemble - a deep blue one consisting of a collared top and jeans - when Ophanimon (cryptic code used) came upstairs with the mail, among it the rejection letter. I knew it was coming - it had to.
I turned in an unsatisfactory single-sheeter at writing class. I was seriously suffering from a lack of inspiration.
But, when I was walking home...
我看到落叶如穿上绿衣裳的小仙子在空中翩翩起舞。她们仿佛在告诉我,生活还是美好的,不会因为这次失败而变得不好过。(I saw falling leaves dancing in the wind like little green-clad fairies. They seemed to say to me that life is still good and that this failure would not plunge it drastically into the negative end.)
The little fairies of yellow and green
Saw that I was blind and let me see.
My mind's clear of it all and now is free;
Now there's all but one path ahead of me.
How shall I mould it, and what'll the end be?
If it is to be...
*inhaling deeply*
...it is up to me.
And I... am not alone.
I... am not sad.
I... am happy.
Car je suis encore Cédarienne... et j'en suis fière. (Because I'm still a Cedarian... and I'm proud of it.)
IP... I was just firing blind darts. I fired way out for the VJC target, but missed the NJC bullseye by far less.
And I'm glad I don't have to face the dilemma. I'm glad I was saved from it, spared the decision.
The discussion with Liz was premature, and it only served to add stress.
I have strayed. And I am back.
And I am ready... to face the call of Destiny.

Thursday, August 10, 2006: Randomization
Hey, that is so true of how I'm feeling now - RANDOM!!!On to something else now...
Just looking at the above sky shot makes me want to sing. And what else but... well, I've forgotten the lyrics of my first-choice song. Oh well... second to it is...
O salutaris hostia, o salutaris hostia,
quae caeli pandis ostium, quae caeli pandis ostium!
Bella premunt hostilia, bella premunt hostilia,
Da robur, da robur, fer auxilium, auxilium!
No doubt about it, the sky reminds me of Heaven, and so something with "Heaven" in it would be fitting, don't you think? ^_^
And for your info, I love sky photography too. In addition to sports, and singing above all. Dah dah bah dah dah bah dah bah dah bah dah bah dah dot dot dot dot...
Oh yes... this shot was taken from the study room at my place. I should know; I took it. Haha...
I told you this post would be random.

Sunday, August 06, 2006: Sur un dimanche (On a Sunday)...
Que faites-vous, sur un dimanche (What do you do, on a Sunday)? For me... reading blogs and writing on blogs. In addition to singing my heart out. O salutaris Hostia, quae caeli pandis ostium... Dah dah bah dah dah bah dah bah dah bah dah bah doo dot dot... And yet it's all I have of that past time... Without the wind, who can sail...~Seraphine Chorister~ sang in The Butterfly Garden
