today, a lousy title
Monday, March 10, 2008
Tennis from 8 to 10.30, badminton from 12 to 2 (Joseph fanatically carried on to 3), whoof, I'm tired. I did meet Eileen though, since I had some extra time, and decided to get off the bus when the prearranged breakfast with Joseph was cancelled when he had to backtrack to retrieve the shuttlecocks.
We went to the veri nostalgic Vari Nice food court somewhere opposite Damai Sec, and I munched on their roti prata, mmmm... :P prices have risen, or portions have lessened, it's all too obvious. Anyways, managed to catch up with some stuff with her, still slightly sarcastic. Heh. But still engaging, glad much hasn't changed since. (phew I thought I'd lose friends quickly once we went to JC)
Chatting up with the guys really has it's hilarity, and I can only hope with growing time, we will find some slots here and there to meet up. Yi Chen with his raised eyebrows all the time, fanatical Joseph and Xavier about Ganbatte Meridian, Jhin's quiet but deathly korean stare, Jake and his serious demeanor (seems to be more light hearted nowadays) and Mark and Ben busy with their DS or asking weird questions all the time.. Ah. :)
Joseph texted me today en route to Eunos CC for badminton. ...rain is looming. That sentence sounded the slightest poetic, so i typed this in reply quickly.
Rain is looming,
faith is fading,
up ahead the saint's are calling.
Down below,
men tirelessly sow,
but mounting against the king, an quiet overthrow.
Work they must,
with spades they thrust,
But not as slaves, this wasn't just.
So with the twilight,
that fated night,
took arms they did,
with torches lit.
Spears sharpened, senses heightened,
blood was spilt
before the king could be frightened.
Rain has fallen,
blood has flown,
and this day shall by all, be known.
The saint's have a sinner,
men's burdens has lesser.
We've all moved on to something better.
(I added the last paragraph just now, gimme your comments! It's a bit crude, but an attempt nonetheless!)
