Hm... Just realised that I have not been really blogging properly these few weeks, only posting lyrics of some songs and my own rubbish. So here's one real post. Well here goes:

I woke.
I ate.(x3)
I studied. (x8/13)
I slept/stoned.(uncountable)
The End.

Solitude

The rain is falling,
gently and softly.
The sounds of nature,
creating music of its own uniqueness.
What have I missed?
Love?
Happiness?
Laughter?
Harmony?
What have I really missed?

The rain is now pouring,
hard and loud.
Thunderous.
Angry.
I wandered on,
Through the moments of solitude.
Staring up to the dark sky,
I wondered.
How did I end up like this?
When will this solitude end?
When will I allow myself to love again?
I hate being alone.
I don't want to be alone...
But...
A second chance seems so far away...
So, so far away...
There's no turning back to the past,
No chance for amendments.

The rain is ebbing...
It is falling gently and softly again.
And the sounds of nature fades away.
The sky brightens, but my heart does not.
Stoned, my heart is now,
And I shall move on... Deeper.
Is this solitude?
No.
I am merely free...

Melodies of Life

IN ENGLISH

Alone for a while I've been searching through the dark
For traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart
To weave by picking up the pieces that remain
Melodies of life, love's lost refrain.

Our paths they did cross, though I cannot say just why.
We met, we laughed, we held on fast, and then we said goodbye.
And who'll hear the echoes of stories never told?
Let them ring out loud till they unfold.
In my dearest memories, I see you reaching out to me
Though you're gone, I still believe that you can call out my name

A voice from the past, joining yours and mine
Adding up the layers of harmony
And so it goes, on and on
Melodies of life,
To the sky beyond the flying birds, forever and beyond.

So far and away, see the bird as it flies by
Gliding through the shadows of the clouds up in the sky
I've laid my memories and dreams upon those wings
Leave them now and see what tomorrow brings.
In your dearest memories, do you remember loving me?
Was it fate that brought us close and now leaves me behind?

A voice from the past, joining yours and mine
Adding up the layers of harmony
And so it goes, on and on
Melodies of life,
To the sky beyond the flying birds--forever and beyond

If I should leave this lonely world behind
Your voice will still remember our melody
Now I know we'll carry on
Melodies of life
Come circle round and grow deep in our hearts
As long as we remember.

I am pleased to announce that, after a week of mental, and physical challenges, the National Inter-School Wushu Championships has finally ended! First of, let me congratulate those who have won medals for themselves during the competitions! You have earned it by your own efforts and hardwork! In total, the YJ wushu team has won 2 silvers, 2 bronze, and 2 4th placings! Personally, I feel that this a a great improvement over last year, in which we have won only 1 silver, and 7 4th placings. Great work guys! However, these medals are not the only thing that we have achieved. In this competition, we have learnt teamwork---The true essence of it. We have also earned something that cannot be bought or won over-Friendship and comrade. The true bonds of friendship, one which we will remember and cherish for life. Comrade, which we have earned through experiencing all the laughter, scoldings, suffering, accomplishments and dissapointments---together. We have learnt to show care and concern for one another, spurring one another to fight on, and never to give up. All these 'small' little achievements, is enough to overcome the greatest challenges that we have faced in our path. And...our medals and ranking---all pale in comparison to these lessons we have learnt. These lessons are evident especially on the final day of the competitions-The Group Events. Its the day where we finally get to fight as a team, and not as an individual. Where minds joined as one, all emotions put aside, to give our best in the competitions. Reflecting back, it just makes me feel proud of ourselves. On behalf of the YJ wushu Team, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our Shifu- Mr Royce Ang, for being there when we were all in doubt, to guide us, to spur us on to greater heights. You are the BEST coach we have ever had! Thank you!!! Also, to our teachers-in-charge, Ms Teo and Mr Chua. Ms Teo for treating us Red Bull before the competitions, and Mr Chua, for giving us his moral support, and helping us to carry weapons to and fro to the competition venues(without thoughts of getting stopped by the police). Without all these people in our lives, we would probably not have made it thus far. And we would not have gotten free Red Bulls. =D Once again, congrats to all winners, and all the best!!!
