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.

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.
