drowned

So. Three events since the last time I blogged.
1) O level Orals : I made them laugh! Yay! Picture was so utterly screwed. And with conversation, it was way better than prelim orals. The topic was shopping~ only Singaporean's national pastime. Conv. Q1: Describe the last time you went shopping. I just made up some bullsh!t about going to Parkway with my mum (Damn popular choice. Most of us either said Parkway or outing with ours mothers) Made them laugh when I said something about my mum going to Marks and Spencer's to get my dad clothes
because apparently men can't buy their own underwear. I felt like giggling madly too. A little stereotypical but both examiners were women so I thought they'd be able to relate to it.
2) Prelim papers (SS, HMT, Eng) : I saw the merger question and I was going "YES YES YES!" and pumping my fist. Actually everything I spotted except Venice came out so I was lucky in that sense. I heard that a lot of classes knew that Birth of Nations was coming out and not Venice, oh well. HMT sucked. I did some compo about courage and I thought it was quite good. Turns out I didn't read the question properly. They asked for a narrative essay and I gave them a discussive(and a little bit of narrative) essay. Fucking stupid man. I wanted to give myself a good tight slap but that would have seemed odd so I settled for whining. The way I'm whining now. English..well...I liked my essay. I did "Prejudice"-got a good feeling about this. But summary was...killer. It really was. I'm used to having 20-30 minutes after finishing everything to take a nap or check through my answers over and over again but this time I was
scrambling till the last second. Hopefully the marks for my essay will help even things out.
Getting an A1 for English is essential. It's not even an option for me.3) Teachers' Day : One word really.
Overrun. Thought it was really poorly organized as compared to last year. Aces workout was damn fun even though I was quite irritated by the unenthusiastic person in front of me. Like hello? I just asked you to move a few steps forward so I wouldn't have to worry about accidently hitting you. I didn't ask for anything drastic like cutting off a finger. Get a grip..seriously.
Singapore Idol :
JOAKIM IS OUT! FINALLY! Singaporeans have regrown their ears~ It's amazing! On a sadder note, Ryan (The Dark Horse) Star was booted off Rockstar Supernova. Damn. He was one of my favourites. At least there's some consolation found in the fact that the contestants left in that competition are extremely talented.
Wrote another poem yesterday. This one is in a format I've never really tried before.
DrownedI am drowning now... can anyone hear me?I am dying somehow... will someone miss me?Gasping desperately flailing, clawing, futile handsWailing silently there's too much I don't understand.Lingering bubbles of air From here, everyone looks so minuteLungs collapsing there my gurgled screams seem muteThe water rushes in I know not what to doIt fills me from within Has the life I've led been true?Red dots are exploding... here inside my mindThoughts are retreating... I'm running out of timeI wish I told him how I feel I wanted to be more than a friendNow it'll never happen, never be realat least the agony will endFinal moments have arrivedthe time to live has passedSo this is the end of my life now peace will come at last.Edit//: Argh. Blogspot won't let me do it in the format I typed it out in. Ah what the hay. Read it as it is, then read the odd and/or even alternate lines if you have nothing better to do.
