Hmm....another year has passed. In the blink of an eye, I went into a JC, meet some new friends, and learnt some new things. One year older, one year wiser, and as some people would say, one year closer to death. :P

lol JJ gave me this cute little Mr Bean teddy bear. So nice. lol Be careful later I put its head into a drawer and try to close ah. lol And she also gave me this bookmark to replace my broken kangeroo...But I won't change it just yet....Not for some time, at least.

And speaking of books, I didn't do too well for my exams, I might say. C for Math, E for Physics, and F for Econs and Chem, and surprise surprise! I got a D7 for my Chinese [At least I passed] But for the rest of my subjects...They are a total letdown...But the Lotus of Konoha blossoms twice! I shall do better when the promos come! You will see! I beat you all! Bwhahahahahahaha! Ahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!

In any case, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be released tomorrow at around 7. Be sure to get it! Lets just hope that it will live up to all the hype surrounding it. I won't want to buy a highly rated book and find it to be a boring story...But knowing Rowling, I think that that would not be the case this time round. But oh well, we shall see...

"And travelers now within that valley
Through the red-littrn windows see
Vast forms that move fantasically
To a discordant melody;
While, like a rapid ghastly river,
Through the pale door,
A hideous throng rush out foirever,
And laugh - but smile no more."

-Edgar Allen Poe, The Haunted Palace

"Call the rower of big cigars,
The muscular one, and bid him whip
In kitchen cups concupiscent curds.
Let the wenches dawdle in such dress
As theyare used to wear, and let the boys
Bring flowers in last months's newspapers.
Letbe be finale of seem.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice cream.

Take from the dres of deal,
Lacking the three glass knobs, that sheet
On which she embroidered three fantails once
And spread it so as to cover her face.
If her horny feet protrude, they come
To show how cold she is, and dumb.
Let the lamb affix its beam.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice cream."

-Wallace Stevens, The Emperor of Ice Cream

Intersting poems today...I find the first one by Poe to be frightening. Its easy to see why Poe is regarded to be one of the greatest horror writers around. The guy is dead, by the way. The Emperor of Ice Cream is supposed to be a poem about death, but i can' really get the feeling from it. Maybe because I don't take Lit..Oh well, my loss. Ciao.
