In anticipation.

With a quick installation I can now blog from my tablet.

Anyhow, if secondary school were a marathon, at this point of time, it has finally come down to the last ten metres. With a final hurdle in the way, of course in the form of exams (SPM), one can't help just sprinting like a mad cow to the finish line. Cause, it has been one hell of run up to this point. Five fucking years eh? Finally.


Well, what's a race without its competitors?

When you have an Usain Bolt on your left with a handful of koko certs and a Tyson Gay on the other with a 10k scholarship to some famous university, what else is someone like me to do? A kid who has been going through the motions for years. I used to refer myself as a frog in a well (or colloquially under a tempurung), but after meeting so many different people, seeing how the actual world looks like, this frog wants to go back to his well/tempurung. I realized why ignorance is bliss.

Then, the realization hit me... You know what? Screw it!
What the hell am I to allow myself to be pressured like this?
It's not some race with others to see who finishes the fastest, ran the furthest or jumped the highest.
I'm running alone and I'll set my own pace and milestones.

So maybe I won't be the valedictorian of some esteemed instutute or create the cure of douchebag-syndrome. (unless I want to that is.)

I'm gonna finish this bloody race whether its first or last and then run wherever I set myself.

the flower

Yes, there is a flower in a quiet field
A black sheep among weeds
Taking up its lil' patch in a sea of green

A wall flower it was
But with ample sun and rain
It grew day by day
Becoming more beautiful
As it outshined the other plants
Green with envy

And from dainty it was
It became glorious
So majestic with its petals bright
And its scent so alluring

It garnered much attention
And it too was aware of itself
As many came and went
Too curious, intoxicated
Wanting a peek or a quick sniff

Now, quiet the field wasn't anymore
More and more they came and went
As the other plants got trampled
A path of crushed grass was formed
Leading visitors to the flower
They fought, they attempted stealing it
As greedy hands yearning for it potted with soil in their own homes

Hiding behind some bushes and the chaos
Crouched I observing the flower
Revelling at the sight of it form a distance
For
This all I can manage
If I were to unearth it
Put it in a pot
With my imcompetent and inexperienced hands
It surely would wilt and die
Along with its beauty
Forever gone
