Darkness

I fell.

I awoken in a dark, dark cold place where no one was. I was alone. I was terrified. But there was no one around to comfort me, to talk to me, or even hear me.

I was alone.

Illusions

Many a time we see things which aren't really there. These are times when we see illusions. Sometimes, these things mean so much to us, that we are reluctant to disbelieve in it, and even when facts prove otherwise, we force ourselves to accept these images as the real thing. Self deceit. We treasure things close to our heart, and when we discover, much to our horror, that these things never really were, our mind creates this virtual world in which we hole ourselves up in. Then we close ourselves from the rest of the silent world, and cry.

The Bell

Phantom –
He has arrived,
In the shadows of
The eternal night.

He shall come by the
Cloak of the night without
Warning,

And legends will be born.

Patchwork 02

Patchwork is over. I enjoyed every bit of it, the preparation, the singing, dancing, acting and most importantly, being part of it. It has been a great experience. Working with the seniors has colourful, and working with the rest of Gracehaven has been rather great too. I don't know how the audience really felt throughout the whole event, but I can say, being part of the concert, part of the choir, part of the performers has been a miracle beyond linguistic expression.

I enjoyed the songs we sang, particular Christus Factus Est and Usuli Boat Song; they are great pieces. And who will ever forget the jubilation felt after the whole affair ended? The J1 basses were also much closer; it could be because we did a most funny Maori Haka. It was quite traumatising in the beginning, but I'm sure all of us enjoyed ourselves to the maximum. I couldn't get enough of performing, of singing, dancing, acting.

When it ended, mixed feelings swirled around in the auditorium. It was a relief that the concert was over, but at the same time I felt that we couldn't get enough of the whole thing. Contradictory statements they are, but who wouldn't agree with me?

It's has really, truly been great.

Zebra Crossing

A few boys came to a road, and since this was their time out on the streets as part of their excursion, they were very curious as to it's function. So they asked their teacher, in unison for the purpose of the area painted in alternating white lines.

"Oh why, that's a zebra crossing! Motorists have to give way to pedestrians crossing the road. It gives the common pedestrian every priority on the road they ought to have."

The young students beamed happily, for they had learnt something new today. They were about to go back, when they heard a loud crash.

A dead zebra was lying in a pool of its own blood, right on the zebra crossing.

Apples and Oranges

The hovering master floated over to meet his new discipline, and boomed, "Hello, my son."

Apparently, the young'un did not bring any gifts to appease his mentor, who would be instructing him in the ways of the magi. Thus, he became rather afraid of this terrible mage, who was reputed to be able to cast spells of utter destruction that could wreck havoc and terminate any form of living being. In fact, there were rumours that he fed on human brains so as to boost his magical powers. The youth was very nervous.

"Where are my gifts?"

The apprentice had nothing to say and had no way to defend himself. Outraged, the omnipotent wizard chanted the secret words of an ancient spell, and poof...!

He turned himself into apples and oranges.

Evil Emotions





You are 30% evil! [?]


You're still on the good side of 50%, but you're gaining on it. You're not as good as you should be, but you're good ALMOST all of the time. There's only an occasional time when evil takes over you, but when it does...





Find your emotion!


Purple Water

Fire blazes; the roofs crumble
Doors locked and heavy, they
Stand in your way. Headstrong

You knock yourself against the flames,
The window cracks and explodes. Wildly
You run about the room trying to

Escape from the fiery inferno; it torments
Your soul that is trapped within your
Body. You leave.

Struggle

I've been struggling like a man over-ran by bullocks... I can't take F. Maths anymore... and Physics is simply a torture. My grades are terrible, and I can't even grapple with simple mathematics and physics. Help me someone? Please do!

Where's the rope?

Sigh.

Choir's the reason for which I exist.

And even if you don't know, and even if you don't like me, you should know that you're the reason for which I live.

The Fields Are In the Clouds

My God!
I stumbled onto a broken wine glass today,
It spelt a story of a broken heart,
Of a broken relationship,
A broken link.

The hills were sympathetic,
They cried for the glass.
But splintered glass cuts and it
Hurts. Ouch.

The sky was empathetic,
He poured a paint of colours
Over the western horizon

And lit the fields with a brillant
Spectrum that hovered on the ocean.

But no one could see the light that shone
Oh so bright,
For the fields that were glowing,
They were in the clouds.
