Bonne nuit, 2008.

What I've learned/experienced in 2008?
The taste of freedom.
The joy of friendship.
The pressure from assignments and exams.
The sorrow of losing someone beloved.
The carefree moments of "yamcha" sessions in the middle of classes. (I hope my mum doesn't see this.)
The crazy feeling of drinking too much and still can remember everything the next day. (I heard when you are drunk with wine, you can't remember whatever you did during that period the next day.)
The ecstasy of online gaming until it was too overbearing.
The fleeting moment of having an infatuation towards a certain guy. (Two guys, to be exact.)
The heartbreaking feeling of letting that infatuation go.
The nerve-wrecking moments of driving lessons and exam.
The mushy feeling of reading a romantic story. (Too much, perhaps.)
The confusion in handling PTPTN matters.
The euphoria of having my best earphones in my life. (Bass baby~! Yeah!)
The jitters before delivering a presentation.
And...
AND...




Oh dear.

I can't remember.

Ah well.

Happy new year everyone.



May your life be filled with the various colors of experiences, just like this candy stack. :D

Porcelain.


















I can see her.. but I can't touch her.

Do you know why?

Her beauty is captivating.
An angel in disguise.

Yet.
Just a touch of unbridled love and lust.
And that beauty will be contaminated by the tendrils of sin.
By me.
With the filthy hands of my own.


I desired to embrace her.
To protect her.
To be by her side.
Ever since that time... that time.

Yet.
Her beauty is so fragile.
So delicate.
A sinful touch and a shatter.
Like a porcelain vase.
With the warning sign next to her.
"Nice to see, nice to hold; Once broken, considered sold."


No.
I will not break her.
I will not sell her love and beauty to the Devil.
That is why I will refrain myself with the shackles of my conscience.
And admire the ethereal beauty from afar.
Just like a child admires a refined porcelain.


Something that I wrote before the exams. Nothing much really, just wrote this down at the spur of the moment. Inspired by the many books and online stories I had read. :D
