A poem I wrote for a friend. I felt he was going after a girl who had only just recently broken up too aggressively, but he seemed to have no clue that he was.
I Feel like a Teenager
I stopped working at UniSIM about two weeks ago. So for the last couple of weeks, I've had considerably more time on my hands than I've had for the last couple of years (when I was doing my full-time National Service in the army).
On Making Resolutions
I've never been much of a "new year resolutions" kind of guy. As much as I've always believed in goal-setting, which is what new year resolutions really are, it has never occurred to me that they actually work. I was looking back on the new year resolutions I had written about last year -- both... Continue Reading →
Merry Christmas!
It's Christmas again! Saying that last Christmas feels like it was like just yesterday may have been cliched to death, but that's just the way I feel. Last Christmas certainly doesn't feel that long ago. Has a year really passed? I'm sitting here, looking at one of my presents from last Christmas (a vibrating massager... Continue Reading →
Where to Now?
I'd attained my goals, forgotten to set new ones. Now everyday I'm like a ship in the wind, going where the wind blows, Wondering, "Where to now?"
Now a Driver
I am now a licensed driver! Congratulations to me! 🙂 I was this close (*holds thumb and index finger an inch away*) to not making it, but alas, what was meant to be was meant to be. Being a driver is my destiny! Vroom vroom!
Running a Marathon
I ran the Singapore Marathon (also called the Standared Chartered Marathon, named after the organisers) last Sunday, and I have got to say it was the hardest thing I've ever done in a long, long time. Like the NaNoWriMo, I had gone into this expecting something difficult, but not this difficult... Bloody Early The start... Continue Reading →
Sitting Next to Future Celebrities
I sat next to a trio of beautiful girls on the bus today. They were Mass Comm students, and spoke very good English; not accented, mind you, but good. I think they might make great radio hosts one day. I could well have been sitting next to future celebrities. I am so happy.
The Finish Line
Well, the finish line has been crossed, and I'm ready to go back to sanity. I think that the most important thing that I've learnt from this is that when we approach a difficult task, we always start out believing, then doubting, then, if we're lucky, persevering; and in the end, winning. I believe I... Continue Reading →
Giving up NaNoWriMo
In a writing stupor the 23,000th word was typed. Fingers slammed the wrong keys, misguided by the brain fatigued beyond total exhausation, hoping for some respite; but the heart would hear nothing of it, and I pushed on. I only decided to stop for the night when I realised just how incoherent my thoughts had... Continue Reading →
Donn, fragments
