this is a poem eloquently put together by joyce kilmer.

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

whee. i agree. hahaha:D
yeaaahhh. today has set me in a delightful mood. hahaha.
everything that could go wrong today went wrong. *grInz* firstly, i missed the 238 to travel to toa payoh central, then i missed the 31 (just missed! the bus leaving the curb!) and i thought 'kay, i'm going to be late, shall i just try taking the train?'...and i rushed down to take the mrt and lo and behold! the mrt just left and the next one was coming in 8 mins!. i was like. oh goodness. hahaha:D
in the end, i opted for the bus again...which came at 6.51am! hahaha. the bus dilly-dallied and in the end only left at 6.53am. i was like, God! you must make the bus fly! i'm going to be late! hahahaa:D late for assembly anyway.
hey the bus flew manz! hahaha. actually i thought i'll be the only one late for assembly.. in the end, there were like 9 vjcians on the lower deck of the bus with me, and lots more flooded down from above. quite an amusing sight. hahahah:D and the vj bell rang! hahaa. and we ran and we ran and we ran. and i reached the back of the class in time! couldn't sing much during national anthem though. too busy breathing. hahahaha!:D
ah. and gp paper! gosh. gp compo has interesting topics. hahaha:D like... question 1 - 'science is organised knowledge. Wisdom is organised life. Have we lost wisdom in pursuit of science?' and question 5 - 'sport is human life in microcosm. to what extent is this true?' actually quite intriguing questions...heh:) i did question 8 -'"Selfish, soft and not hungry enough for success as the previous generation."Discuss the implications of this statement about Singaporean youth'...heh. actually i do dislike writing about implications..but ah well. shall see how it turns out to be:)
i should have done question 9! hahaa. question 9 was '"if you want to be happy, be." Does happiness seem more elusive in today's world?'..then i'd copy the 'courage' essay and write
"In today's world, happiness seems to be perpectually playing hide and seek with the human. it is indeed more elusive today. therefore, i shall follow what the quote says and be happy. and to be happy, i shall not do my gp essay. goodbye (hasta la vista will end it off with a flourish...hhaa!)!'
nah. talking nonsense. compre was hard too. the AQ was... hmm. contentless:D hahaha. jane joined our class for mr ho's extra makeup lecture for all his classes and kept telling me how lucky i am to have him as a teacher. hahaha. mr ho wasn't making much sense today either and it was quite amusing. he didn't realise that jane was sitting beside me until the middle of the lesson when he suddenly asked 'eh. who's that girl sitting beside xinying?' :P
yeah. then me, jane and jits were supposed to study in the library after tt. studying didn't come so fast though. felt really tired after maths so went to sleep. hahaha:D and the other two just read their books. ah well. woke up and found them gone! *poof!* disappeared! hahaha. they went to the piano...hahaha.
jane was playing this piece which is a mash of the various stuff she heard on tv, but it's really nice and sound jap-py. jits was actively learning how to play it from jane. hahaha. anyway, it's nice even though it's from a minor to a major to a major, which i guess could make things awkward at times (?). whatsoever. i learnt the first line and it got complicated for me. hahaah.
we finally proceeded to the reading room at around 4+pm. hah. not the best time for studying:D
yeah:D studying with twin and there's shepherding tmr!:D how exciting. hahaha.
the gold medal match between korea and china was superb! i've never seen such exciting playing before. so brilliant. gosh. such skill displayed using two bats and a small ball. and 2 simple rules. tabletennis. you rock.
-and as i look upon Your name,
circumstances fade away
now Your glory steals my heart,
You are holy-
oh! i got this wish from the grant-a-wish thing which the nus csc pple have set up in vj...hahha. bought a watch for a little girl! hope she likes it. so exciting. hahaha:D
