*note: the bulk of this entry was written down last night at 1am when i shut down my laptop and the words suddenly came to me. i have no idea how my mind works.*
the pregnant half moon hung low and heavy
on the thin cushion of wispy night clouds
as a lone star watches over from a fair distance away,
the only two natural brightness in the otherwise empty dark sky,
reflected mauve by the remaining city lights
that shone silently from below.
yesterday was, the first day of the last year of my polytechnic life.
it is kind of surreal, now that i contemplate about it in the middle of the night.
compared to secondary school where the days dragged on and exams couldn't end earlier to bring the year to a close, two years of poly had just past with a snap of the fingers.
and i find it regretful that among the two years that i've freed to the past, i have not yet made friends that i feel were as close as those in the final two years of my uniform-wearing life.
well, it's understandable, considering that we've seen each other through the horrifying battle that was o'levels.
and the only thing that comes close to that now was project work.
enter deadline rushes, last minute research, half-prepared presentations, unbearable groupmates, mismatched intelligence and cognitive thinking, communication breakdowns.
next, is our own way of releasing stress: bitching. or "ranting", for a more gentler choice of words.
don't get me wrong, those have ways of bringing people closer, when you understand each other's temperaments, thinking style and level of sadistic mental bashing of the one person in the group that is the ultimate UGH of common consensus.
makes it easier for one to know how to turn an aquaintance into a friend, working around their tempers and stuff like that, when one isn't all gungho about making friends with everyone he or she meets.
i guess i would always group my friends in the "secondary school" branch and the "poly" branch.
it's a habit that i don't think will leave anytime soon, but still i'm grateful to have met those two groups of people.
after all, it is the people you meet and the tribulations that you hold one another through that secures the link in between.
sheesh, i sound so sappy =.=
*shudders*
by the way, ym, don't get too upset that we're not in the same class, all right? LOM isn't very big and we'd bump into each other so often that you'd get sick of us.
NOT! =)
anyway, i've sort of turned fabian into a semi-fan of L'Arc, and phoenix kept insisting that hyde looks too gay (nix dear, you have not seen their earliest music videos), which is weird- at least to me- considering.. hmm.. let's not mention anything.
perhaps i find it weird that she says they look gay while fabian agrees with me that they are cool? and that phoenix is a girl while fabian is, well, a guy. i think.
i don't know, but i seem to have an affinity for "pretty boys", restricted to the japanese kind, anyway.
and nix is too deep in her hyde-assumptions for me to change her mind by showing her his recent pictures and live performances where he swears repeatedly as if it was something a person says- oh, i don't know- two hundred thousand times a day?
speaking of phoenix, i have to close off AK chapter 19 soon so i can send the file to her by today.
let's hope my muse doesn't let me down.
