Aufatmen | Weniger nach Hause zu kommen | VI: World of Make-Believe

Hallo ihr alle da draussen...endlich darf ich mich mal aufatmen...finally got the 11B issue settled and exchanged it for a 15A (temporary I/C) and i guess i got quite lucky because i got let off the hook...i thought going into the Orderly Room would be something like fighting a tigress (because that really is the image she projects) but that's besides the point. I don't know when the 11B will come...but i really wish that it's soon...because without my 11B...i'm practically useless outside...cannot apply for driving...cannot apply for a new phone line...the 2 current pertinent issues, outside of her, currently...

Anyway...my overseas schedule is kinda decided...i'll be going to CRESCENDO in May/June with Melvyn and then to BATTLE KING again...with the next batch of cadets...well...it's fun time i guess...Although the sai kang is literally raining down from above...but never mind lah...it's our lot to do sai kang...hahaha...

Ansonsten ist alles ziemlich gut...i can read during office hours...first the newspapers, then Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernières...don't be deterred by its length...it's really a very good read...the chapters are magical and if only you'll let your mind wander - something which many painfully lack...let the story take you upon its wings and fly you...to a place in Europe which remained magical in spite of the horrors of an erupting Second World War all around it...a story of simple country life, nationalistic pride, a love story, L'omosessuale, little stories, seemingly unconnected, but yet all linked, and all magically told...read and let your mind's eye fly. You'll enjoy it immensely. I won't put spoilers here...

My folks want me to not come home so often...because me poppa is getting quite tired from all this late-night fetching here and there and i think they're right...time i stopped being such a parasite...maybe i'll go back myself in the future? I'm also bringing my Ace in tonight...so i can go bowling with johnny...which isn't that bad...finally...bowling buddies are back...haha...

I just watched the MTV for Eric Prydz' Call on Me...i think it's a semi-porn flick where these people wearing leotards in a dance studio dance to the tune in various orgasmic poses. But that's my take...you're entitled to your own opinion...

Finally...part VI is here...World of Make-Believe...Their glimpses seemed so true...but....

World of Make-Believe...

If black was light and white night
If only they were aware of their plight
Blinded, groping, robbed of all sight
Alone, stripped of all will to fight
In their world of make-believe

Pity clouds Umbriel's eyes
Above her rage the leaden skies
Feeling the wounds open deep within
Feeling the pain of all her sins...

Ariel, White Queen, filled with lust
Purity never meant to last
Where she'd wept, now she smiles
A world stands for her to defile...

She remembers a darker time...
A time, when her heart was night
In her fist lay ultimate might
'Then the light cascaded into me
Opened my heart and let me see...'

In her mind's eye stands the past
In that enchanted glade so vast
Darkness came and stole her away
A darkness now here to stay

They live in a world of make-believe
Where every action was but a dream
A world of make-believe
They stir in their slumber, yet fail to see...
