If i see any of you around, and I don't acknowledge you, please don't take it personally! I was probably deep in thought about something else. I only realise you were smiling or waving after you've gone. I promise it won't happen often.
Dance concert was really really good. Laura's first-time choreography was fantastic! I liked the whole butterfly concept. I remember the many times you would take out your dance notebook and borrowed 10cents/20cents coins and start arranging them =) Congratulations to all dancers, laura shakura and amoudtha in particular!
To everyone to wants me to go for strings concert/band concert/harmonica concert/choir concert - I'm sorry but I really don't think i can! I'd dearly love to go for all but I'm afraid I can't.
3 weeks to ICS Night. (!!)
Hero/Heroine by Boys Like Girls is my current favourite song.
"And I don't know why you'd even try,
But I won't lie.
You caught me off guard..."

Lovers and Leaves
Like two fresh leaves we are,
Peeping through the branches.
Too shy to stare too hard,
One waiting as one approaches.
The wind brings your scent to me,
Strong and clear in the forest.
We will soon break free,
And dance with the wind around us.
Like two green leaves we are,
Going where life blows us.
No matter if we wander far,
No wind separates us.
The rain, though it pours,
Is to our skins mere drizzle.
No season, wet or coarse,
Can ever bear to chisel.
Such is the beauty of our love,
That nature itself is awed.
We have no means of flower or dove
Yet our love is never flawed.
Like two brown leaves are we,
Wrinkled, yet floating along.
Our lives may be ending, but you see,
Our natural love will live long.
Once we are dead, the wind in the sky
Will rock us to sleep with a last lullaby.
The sun will warm our tomb of earth
And the rain will wash our pillows of dirt.
When we are one with the soil, we will then feed
With our strong love's nutrients, a little seed.
This little seed will grow and grow,
And very soon, time will show,
Our life-giving love's fruitful produce,
A strong tree, our strength is reused.
People will wonder at this tree,
And our love, on paper they'll see.
And so my love, no sonnets for you,
Only my heart, which is yours through and through.
We'll be like leaves, enjoying the ride,
Even if it's over, it's no rule we have to abide.
Our love will continue, on and on,
Through oak and fir and teak,
Our love will continue, on and on,
Though never a word do we speak.
I'm not lovestruck, i was just watching the rain in the trees yesterday morning, and got inspired. =)

I can't keep my eyes off of you.
Really really really busy. Liasing for cricket friendly, training for cricket tournament + admin issues for tournament, ICS Night practices and money matters, chem review test, KI independent study, violin exam concert, keeping up with school work, training for standing broad jump, writing letters, remembering birthdays. =)
Won't be here for a while.
The laughter on your face is the smile in my heart.

Until the stars are all alight.
Arts Day was pretty interesting. We had fun at salsa, then baked in the sun for a while at the parade square. The magician/contortionist/fire-eater guy was fantastic, but it was irritating the way he kept addressing everyone as though we were primary school kids. Personally, i think all the bands were really cool, but a junior college isn't the best place for them to perform.
We went for lunch after that, and then back to school for training, sharing 2 umbrellas between 5 of us and getting completely drenched. Met the rest of the girls at school, and man i'm glad it stopped raining soon after that. Training was hard work and fun as usual, and we left school at around 8.15 after a little bit of salsa on our own (amu's a great teacher!) and after watching the guys practise their dance for a little while.
Training is gonna get more intensive from next week, girls! I'm so glad we're all so cooperative and hardworking and bonded!

A Whole New World
I'm in love with this. Their voices can convey so much more than just words. And this is just their very first recording!

Oh, CTs are over. Forgot to mention that in the post.
Yesterday (friday) was supposed to be a half day. We ended at 12.45. My usual day ends at 1.20 anyway.
So after sitting with the debators for a while and listening to them run through once more, i left the debate room and went to the hall with Simran to see the release of results.
Sowmya was in VJ for her NUS booth and Simran can't stop talking about how pretty she is =)
Congratulations to all my lovely seniors! Especially the wonderful people who didnt do well for prelims, but jumped from E to A in more than one subject for the As! It was so nice meeting them again. And to those who didn't do as well as they'd wanted to, i believe it's in your capacity to do better in anything that follows. And congratulations to Dhevy, Pushpa, Saranya and Sakthish for getting your A1s! After talking to all the seniors for a while, the whole lot of us J2 debators and supporters went back to the debate room. The debators left in a taxi and we were to follow in the chartered bus.
Well, it was a hard day, with anger and disappointment, but with encouragement and support too. I won't mention the bad parts here. Thanks to everyone who came down to support, Thiru, Simran (even though you didnt understand), Rachna, Lavan, Lois, Varshini (who came down by herself 'cos the bus left her behind, shucks) Sundar (thanks for all the pre-debate help man), Aparajith, The TJ supporters- Preeti, Arathi, Gunalan and Ilakiya (oops i'm not sure how her name is spelt, thanks so much you guys), Sai (even though you didn't understand either), Rama, Thilanga, Dev Reema, Joel who came to watch and Joel's cousin Sam.
And especially Dhevy, who bore the brunt of 15 minutes of shouting-at-the-top-of-his-voice and scolding from the bus driver, on top of all the stress.
And of course, our lovely debators, Vaishu, Hasinah, Pushpa and Saravanan. We didn't make it but you guys were still awesome! And congratulations to Pushpa for getting talent-spotted by the judge!
Went to eat with the gang after that, which was pretty fun.
And when talking online that night, I was so tired from 4 consecutive days of 3 hours' sleep each that i told a senior to sleep well before NS, by mistake, instead of telling him to have fun before going in. =P
Simran: You're so useless (followed by a string of different words, all with the same meaning.)
Me: Are you a thesaurus?
Simran: What's that?

3 things on my mind.
1. I wonder if sometimes, it's ok to stop talking because language is limited in it's ability to express what we really feel. And it's insincere to say what I feel in an inadequate way.
2. Whenever I see you, I wonder why you think I can't be your friend.
3. It's nice to talk to an old friend after a long time. =] It refreshes your mind. And later, we'll give each other knowing smiles around school and in lecture theatres, like we share a nice secret.
