Life's Good

one word to describe all that happened yesterday/today: Awesome.

the road not taken

it seems that the end is inevitable.

the past twenty moonshines have been bright and fruitful,

friendships were made,

love blossomed.

Yet, something there is that stirs a sense of hollowness.

Lest that it would morph into psychological dislocation.

Apprehensive,

the waiting seems to have taken a toll on me.

I have lived each and every moment to the fullest,

Busy as a bee i had been.

Hopeful that the future that unfolds before my eyes,

Vikram waits patiently in a silk-sedan.

I would like to thank everyone for giving me a reason to smile and laugh.

Displacement

There once lived a man who loved to be known for his intelligence, niceties and his all-rounded disposition,
Yet, there was something between himself and the world
Little did he know that soon, he would feel a sense of detachment from his so-called un-fragmented reality;
He was deluded. Beguiled. Unconcerned.
He then built a wall.
Something there is that doesn't love a wall.
Displacement. Three syllables. One word. One entity.

displacement

it's not what you think it is.

Unfragmented reality

I have never felt so contented with my life up till now as I feel much closer to my five aims. Maybe it is because of my positive energy? Maybe not? Nonetheless, it is the best feeling ever?
I have learnt three new words while analyzing Background and Friezes. (Hats off to Wole for his really insightful poem: reminds me of the trials and tribulations that India had to go through under the tyranny of the British rulers. Jai Hind!)
Auxesis: a form of hyperbole (For instance, the entire first stanza can be seen as an auxesis in order to depict the violence, blood and gore of war: accentuated by the use of hyperbolic analogies and vivid, grotesque imagery)
Ellipsis: a gap in the middle of the sentence (It symbolizes the decapitation in stanza 2)
Meiosis: contrary to auxesis ("Beggar's cup")
I was literally moved by the intense amount of violence depicted in the poem; as if the poem is cast in stone (thus the word "friezes"): pun on the word (freezes) in order to emphasize the unchanging violence of war...universality of suffering
IOC has been a fun experience so far. There's still 10 more days to my IOC! I NEED TO DO WELL FOR IT SINCE I DO NOT REALLY HAVE AN APTITUDE FOR THE LANGUAGE

achievements!

i have been thinking about what to write for the SGC since it is really really important for uni apps as well as scholarships. I am really contented of what I have achieved over the past 19 months but I still think that there is still a lot that I can improve on. I have never been so slack over the past two days in my whole freaking life. i agree that slacking is kinda fun but like darli said "Slacking is like w""king. It gives you momentary pleasure. However, once you realize that you have just f""ked yourself." I also realized that time flies by so quickly especially when you have been slacking over the past two days. HAHA.
