this will be my absolute last day here for a week, and i hope a month.
man, just watched fear factor.
what on earth is going through their minds as they perform those simply insane stunts?!?
wow. the only word in response to their jumping from one speed boat to another,
7 feet away, diving into a container full of 10 tons of dead squids and retriving the most weights,
pulling themselves on a vertical pole towards a what, 20-plus stories high, just to
grab a fear factor flag and to slide back and raise the flag up within the shortest amount of time.
it blows my mind away. almost literally.
as the 2 ladies and guys were holding their breaths and swimming through the rotten mess, i was gasping for air too.
hate to say this, but the last stunt?
i just knew the guy was gonna win. the lady was really scared and she was freaking out the whole way on the pole.
i don't blame her but she wasted quite a lot of time. and i wasn't really rooting for her anyway, she was
very cruel to the guy when he was on the pole.
yup, he did tell her to fall in the beginning but during her stunt, he shut up.(or was i not paying attention?)
oh yeah his name is john and hers alexis.
i really admired the way she mucked about in the container full of dead squid though. the last stunt just wasn't in her favour.
i don't know whether i would have had the confidence to do the first jumping stunt, coz i hate jumping(especially the stand broad jump test in school)
but i would do the other two, and shouting out my disgust and fear the whole time while doing them.
haha. that's what happened when i did this high height thingy with tall, tall logs of wood
and between two of those logs would be a secure line or 3 shorter logs etc.
of course i had my harness and helmet, and 3 people down on the ground would be helping to make sure i didn't die
and i had to cross the length between the two logs.
i was really freaked out and i just kept shouting how scared i was, but,
yay! i completed them! i can say i completed two advanced rope challenges!
not much of an achievement, huh... but it was exhilarating... definitely.
argh, did i just crap about myself? too much, huh.
farewell for now.

waiting for a shooting star.
someone likened this to a journalist's job at the front line of the war in Iraq now.
it may get boring waiting for a shooting star,
but you can't turn your eyes away from the sky
because when it finally streaks across the sky,
nothing else matters and the wait is well worth it.

two ladies, having a chat as
the grandfather clock down the hallway strikes one.
each in their respective beds, looking at the star-studded twilight sky
and twiddling with the phone cords.
suddenly they revert to adolescence and start giggling
of the air-filled plots they thought up before.
some of them actually withheld embarrassment of either author,
proving anything is possible.
for a moment, one keeps silent
finally bursting.
she saw a shooting star fly across the dark blanket of clouds!
in haste, the other reminds her to make a wish.
eyelids shut and hands clasp.
before anyone says a word, the gong speaks six times.
a goodbye and a dead tone sets the record straight.

went off to dreamland at 6am sharp this morning.
haha.boy, was it fun or what sam...
even though we were dog-tired, we perservered and managed keep our eyelids open
as we held our phone(the world's most basic and wonderful communication contraption!!!)
to our ears. as the hours went by, so did our voices and brain juices. haha.
"uh... yeah... huh," i heard myself say. earlier on, while we were still in our right minds,
we were concocting hare-brained schemes and i was laughing all the way.
glad we managed to chat. it has been, like, 3 months-plus since we've done that?
i love chatting on the phone till the morn, chatting about everything under the sun! erm... the moon, rather.
oh yeah, and i suspect sam's my muse. haha she indirectly gave me inspiration. *looks below*
i haven't been able to write anything sensible ever since the beginning of the year! thanks babe!
littlegirl starlet--------------6:36 pm
it all started with glass.
the windows in the prayer room, the stained windows to be precise.
sunlight beaming through the holy stained figures which stand upright on the huge panes.
a vision of the school track field occupies another place in my heart, green grass surrounds me,
the air is sharply sweet as i take a breath.
with my hand shielding my eyes away from the infectious sun rays, i look towards the infinitely crystallite blue sky.
i am speechless.
the holy stained images look heavenly against the pure backdrop of the sky, nothing can take that away from my memories.
it continues to burn in my mind.
as the images capture the sun's beams of life, i follow a line and find that,
admist the dew-covered blades of green grass,
a solitary jar stands.
a simple, forgotten jar left behind by a naive schoolgirl.
wishing for a butterfly to make its home in it,so that she would be able to gaze at its gentle fluttering of wings so fragile.
the glass has captured the sun's life,
thus staining it.
the little jar lifts its eyes and looks towards the heavens, thanking them.
this is the story of the sun-stained jar.
