wistfully thoughtful



when situations take me aback, i tell myself that in life, we're bound to not get the things we want/wished for. sounds delusional but the statement heralds a certain truth.

am just starting to grapple with things that're happening.

'All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts'

yeah, life's a stage. your friends are the characters, and they have their exits and entrances. Some are forgotten, they exit your stage. Some leave for good, they never appear again; while some leave momentarily, they'll make their entrance again.

the play moves on even without these characters, and many events wait to be unfold.

unfortunately, life's linear, and i sometimes wish i could relive moments again, change the way things appear, and atone for the mistakes i made

i found a way to be inspired

i'm currently addicted to local poets. i've been introduced arthur yap and lee tzu pheng in e.lit classes and they're really awesome! the school library has an extensive collection of poems by local poets such as edwin thumboo, aaron maniam, cyril wong etc.

my personal favourite is cyril wong! i like the way he captures a particular feeling succinctly in his words. aaron maniam is almost very different from him. his poems capture still images instead. me being more sensory inclined than being a visual person is perhaps the reason i prefer cyril wong.

here's my favourite. it talks about the manner someone suffers under the hands of death.

elegy

The tulip died,
A hand shivering
Open, each petal

A broken finger,
Each tongue of leaf
Swimming out

From a paper throat.

(Adapted from 'below: absence', a collection of poems by Cyril Wong)

realise how he writes an image of a person gasping for air, on the brink of dying. it made me recoil - indeed heart wrenching.

poems are definitely a fascinating read.

rethink singapore



there's a frenzy of ndp songs in school - at least within my social circle of friends.

from national icons with their songs of love and overt patriotism for singapore, i guess every year's song never fails to entertain me.

this year's ndp song 'what do you see' by electrico seems to receive an exceptionally huge response from critics alike. as an ardent supporter of electrico, i've to say the song's great. i know it may not be the conventional ndp song that's catchy, easy to sing with plain lyrics and tunes, i still love it.

isn't it time for a change. i've been overwhelmed by the somewhat similar renditions year after year that i can't even remember or took notice of last year's 'shine for singapore'.

well, listening to 'what do you see' is definitely a pleasure. yet with the bold decision to go contemporary rock, i can't help but look back at past conventional songs i used to sing incessantly when i was in primary school.

so i guess this year's ndp song has not only introduced something different, but made me reminisce the past songs.

P.S visit electrico's myspace to hear how great they are with they productions. i've heard them live at baybeats and they are really good. my favourites are runaway, shadow, hail to the friends and save our souls:
