The Stars That Aren't There Any More

I used to see many bright stars when I was younger. The stars were faint but I loved them. Every night I'd take out my telescope and stare into it until I got tired and fell asleep. I've tried taking pictures of them at night but I could never take any good shots.

But now I look up at the night sky all I see is a faint brown/orange glow, a few bright satellites and the moon looking over me. There are no longer any stars to see. I miss the stars.

I remember a time when I went for the Sec 2 OBS camp at Pulau Ubin. One of the days, we went for a really long kayaking trip and then we had to camp out in the jungle for a night. When I looked up, I saw the brightest stars I had ever seen in my life. Sparkling jewels upon a backdrop of the black night. It was beautiful. That day was one of the best of the camp. It was the day that changed my view of the camp. When I close my eyes at night I can see the beautiful stars that were there. The beautiful memories of my past linger in my brain. The people of my past who I've never been there for

Enough with the past. These memories may mean everything to me but I can't ponder on them too much.

Rule 9: These memories mean everything, never forget them.

'The Guiding Principles Of My Life'

Talking about the night, my dreams I'm having, they are getting better, smarter, like my subconscious took a class on the rendering of real places and people and nearly got a perfect score. I'm nowhere near lucid dreaming as in the case of Inception level dream rendering. But I'm getting better at rendering my dreams. I can hear, taste, smell and feel in my dreams for once.

The people that my brain conjures up are my friends. The voices sound so real. Their action have reactions and the places...the places are the places I walk by every day. The colours are perfect, the small details like a yellow stain on the wall or a drain pipe are there.. My brain may be smart but it isn't perfect. It rendered Wendy with long Red hair. And it gave Simon a near perfect attitude. Near perfect because he actually gave me good advice. The food in my dreams made me full. The taste is a little airy but delicious. I seem to remember more too. I used to remember nothing by the end of the day but now I can remember full length dreams.

I'll write about the stuff I did in my absence in another post.

That Perfect Time of Night

There's always that perfect time of night when the world just falls silent and you can finally think properly without any disturbances. The cars, the music and the air just stops. It feels as if the whole world has ground to a halt around you where the only sounds are of your breath and whatever you choose to make. The perfect time to think, to reflect, to dream... Memories are flooding my brain memories of futures past when the world was sane and life was simpler...memories of the camp: The great friends I've made the hardships, we've gone through and the beautiful midnight stars.

Yeah I know I'm posting at 1.30 am. I just woke up...and it's that time of day. So quiet so peaceful now. The world has stopped...thankfully there are no roadworks today. They'd have ruined the moment...

Anyways today is Teachers day and I'm going back to Telok Kurau Primary. The only time I actually have is on Tuesdays but I use Tuesdays for my Photoscapes and when I go to the cabin...er...Lodge. So basically I am very busy...

Today was so normal...other than the random pain in my legs...normal. In the morning I was back ready for the future. If I skip all the normal parts we'd end up right here during IPW! Went to the computer lab...had a suckish time at the computer lab actually...then had to decorate the torch. I was running around the whole school jumping around to look for Yan Wei. Which reminds me that I just uploaded a new set of photos on my Facebook albums: Memories of Futures Past. Go look at it...its some of the best photos I've ever taken.

It's about time I went back to sleep...Time freaks me out sometimes...I'll do one about time next post I do.

Time is a valuable thing, Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings, watch it count down to the end of the day, The clock ticks life away...

How Far Would You Go For Love?

How Far Would You Go For Love?

How far would you go? I would pretty much do anything for the person I love. Love is blind, love is crazy and irrational. It can make you feel depressed and can make you feel like you're on cloud nine. Love is the strongest feeling on earth.

"Love is both a weakness and a strength. It can push you beyond your limits for the one you love. But it could push you to do something profligate."

Anyways. Today was a pretty boring day other than being sick with a 38.8°C fever then sleeping for half a day straight. Then I got better and started to do my Homework.

Oh yeah 22/25 for my physics test. And a 19/25 for my Chemistry test.

After finishing my homework I started on my new blog background before stopping and changing playing around with my blog's HTML codes again. Then Liyana SMSed me.(No thank you for the spam...)
And now...it is here.

Don't be glum. Be a smiley face.

Neverending Light

There's this game I found...on Kongregate...its pretty fun but really needs a sequel.
Its called Neverending Light.
I wont spoil much but its something like Alan Wake.

Well Today was fun... Got my Maths common test back. An  A1 with 30/40 for my maths and a pass by 0 marks for 12.5/25 for my Geography. Next is my Physics and Chem and Literature and finally my Home Econs common test to wait for. I'm so happy.

Anyways, I managed to get full marks for Shirley Wong's student set quiz. Thanks to Wan Xuan's really easy fill in the blank questions. Even though a few of the questions were misreadable but at least it was in order of page whereas mine jumped from page to page in a semi-coherent fashion with a few hard to look for answers. I treid my best not to put any definition questions as they would be to easy but well I ran out of good questions to ask. At least mine was really fair.

I also had an awesome art lesson. I played around with Mr Wong's D80(I prefer his D80 to his D40x) and got some awesome shots I'll start uploading them to my Facebook soon. I'm really proud of some of the shots I took. I'm going to try out my 'I love how the camera freezes time for only an instant. But keeps that piece of time frozen for all eternity.' by freezing a fan perfectly still with no blur before I save it forever. Or I could just use this pic...















After school, instead of going to play Table Soccer or the Wii in the Cabin...er...Lodge, I helped Liyana out in the Comp Lab. Then I went back home to rest for a bit before heading out to Parkway for my thrice weekly chiropractor appointment. Then I started cleaning my room and my cupboards when I came back before I finished up Batman: Arkham Asylum for the second time. My room is still as mess however...
