2 days into Year 2

And I've already got two things to submit next week =O Plus a mountain of readings and books to get. Hullo again, Bras Basah, old friend.

Dr Cherian George is taking COM203!! *goes off to take another look at The Air-Conditioned Nation, which hasn't been touched since IP2.*

Step Up 3D tomorrow though, I think! =D

Felix Cheong, "I Watch the Stars Go Out"
For stars heavier than eight times our sun, the enormous pressure due to gravity will fuse even heavier elements at the core. The star then explodes with tremendous fury. - Marcello Gleiser, "The Dancing Universe".

Perhaps love
is a view of stars
through the telescope of years
now aged,
no longer uncommited
in chosen places,
nor fearful
of that strident moment
when light explodes
into a million shards of heart.

I really shouldn't have borrowed that collection of poetry by Felix Cheong with so much other stuff to read, but this poem is worth it.
