the door creaks open.
the light sifts through the slit between the door and its frame, widening as the former swings inward. the dust swirls as a draft enters the room.
clearly, no one's been in here for a while.
--=--
ok, now that that's out of the way..
happy belated chinese new year! gong xi fa cai, xue ye jing bu and what now..may u collect hong baos till your pocket runneth over!!
and..
happy valentine's day!! although we're really celebrating the death of a certain st. valentine, who married christians illegally against the roman government's wishes, i hope u all had a good v'day!
death-days aside, valentine's day is a day for love, for friendship, for happiness. above all, it's a day for forging, renewing and pledging relationships, both platonic, non-platonic and/or otherwise. for couples, it's usually a day of intimate time with their partner, a day of giving time for each other (although if its the only time you have with each other, i suggest you rethink your priorities). for singles, it's taken to be a sort of friendship day.
'nuff said, i think.
anyway, today was a really good day..everyone in school was so happy..cheerful vibes were everywhere, know what i mean? it's like the whole world is so positive and devoid of negativity (for once, thank god).
A03 - you people rock! my past 4 years in a boys school have done nothing to add to my valentine's day experiences. thanks for making my first (real, of sorts..) valentine's day so fun and, well, fun!
Eud - i didnt forget you sweetie!! i think you know everything already, yes? just look at the card i made for you. don't you ever forget the last line k? most importantly though, i love you!! our 2nd v'day together..thanks for taking all my nonsense in stride yar? rain or shine, dark or light, i'm here for you, and i'm not going anywhere. i'm sorry for the times i hurt you..i know nothing i can say will change those, but you know i'd never hurt you on purpose, and you know i've never wanted to. i love you, you know that don't you?
ok, i guess that's all i've been wanting to say..
--=--
the sun shines through the (now) clean windows.
apparently and evidently satisfied with his labours, he smiles as he tidies the room.
gathering his things, he opens the door (it doesn't creak this time) and steps out. turning around, he looks around the room, emotions welling up within as precious memories of times past flash through his mind.
who knows when he'll next come back?
closing the door, he inserts the key into the keyhole; a click, barely audible, is heard as it turns.
with a thousand pictures in his head, he walks..
..down the corridor..
away.
~waves~
N.B (completely aside from my entry, thank you very much..)

i found out today that my pri school teacher passed away.
remember the teacher i wrote abt 2 months back? the one i went to visit in hospital with my pri 6 class? she's the teacher im talking abt..
imagine this:-
you're walking down to the canteen.
you're hungry and wondering what to eat.
you receive and sms.
the bearer of bad news, as it were.
then you see the friend who just sent u that sms.
and you know that both of you are hurting because a person meaning so much to u is gone.
i dunno..part of me is sad that she had to go..as i had said in my earlier entry, she's a wonderful person, a dedicated teacher. she definitely didnt deserve this..
yet, another part of me is glad for her, glad that her suffering is over, and she can move on to a better place. i'm told that she was sedated for much of her final days..it's a good thing she went painlessly..
to all my friends who are willing: pray for her. that's all i can ask.
to mrs kow: thank you for being there at the most trying time of our young, primary school lives. thank you for loving us. thank you for giving more than was ever required to us. we love you, and never will forget you.
Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now i see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour i first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Shall be forever mine.
When we've been here ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.
RIP.

Sleep
The evening hangs beneath the moon,
A silver thread on darkened dune.
With closing eyes and resting head
I know that sleep is coming soon.
Upon my pillow, safe in bed,
A thousand pictures fill my head,
I cannot sleep, my mind's aflight;
And yet my limbs seem made of lead.
If there are noises in the night,
A frightening shadow, flickering light;
Then i surrender unto sleep,
Where clouds of dream give second sight.
What dreams may come, both dark and deep,
O flying wings and soaring leap.
As i surrender unto sleep, as i surrender unto sleep,
As i surrender unto sleep,
Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep..
NB:
i didnt write this poem..it's the lyrics from one of the njc choir's syf pieces..if u have time, try reading it aloud to yourself..the feelings it emotes..just amazing..
