Woke up really grumpy this morning. Wasn't feeling good since last night... It hit me like a sledgehammer. But I'm feeling better now. I think... Didn't really feel better till after service when I saw Jeremy, Joshua & Nicole getting baptised. Then had discipleship group with the younger guys. After that I bummed around in the sanctuary while they had practice. Went for dinner with Xiong, Joe, Dennis & Thomson after that. Ate expensive chicken rice at Katong Mall then went to parkway where I had expensive Anderson's Ice Cream. I think I'm getting addicted to it.

School starts again tomorrow. God help me through another two weeks. I just wanna get out of school. This chapter of my life is long overdue.

This is my second poem in three days.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Rounded up at emotion's edge
Down beside these fragile feelings
A single image captures my soul
It leaves me silent, breathless, cold

Unable to shatter sad dark windows
That gives a glimpse, gems contained
Infinite sadness that torments daily
It leaves her forlorn, joyless, angry

What do you seek which is so hard to find...
Among bleak circumstances you hide behind
The sunlight illuminates the way home
But you stay lost continuing to roam

An inspiration in that angelic face
Like a statue of marble in a forest space
What thoughts lie behind that beautiful stare
Delicate hidden opinions of utter despair

Passion like this offers no substitution
Imagine the stings of patience burn
Logic and truth start to disappear
And what was forbidden seems so clear
