~
The clock is frozen in the tower,
The thickening fog with sooty smell
Has blanketed the motor power
Which turns the London streets to hell;
And footsteps with their lonely sound
Intensify the silence round.
I haven't hope. I haven't faith.
I live two lives and sometimes three.
The lives I live make life a death
For those who have to live with me.
Knowing the virtues that I lack,
I pat myself upon the back.
With breastplate of self-righteousness
And shoes of smugness on my feet,
Before the urge in me grows less
I hurry off to make retreat.
For somewhere, somewhere, burns a light
To lead me out into the night.
It glitters icy, thin and plain,
And leads me down to Waterloo-
Into a warm electric train
Which travels sorry Surrey through
And crystal-hung, the clumps of pine
Stand deadly still beside the line.
- John Betjeman

This past week zoomed by really quickly. Yep, I didn’t think I was very productive throughout the entire week, what with major splitting headaches plaguing me on a few days. I couldn’t concentrate on my revision because of that… *sigh*
Anyways, the good that came out from that week was meeting my friends again. Managed to spend a day with my friends for a movie outing and then I met like many other VS/TJ people during my NS medical check up (how coincidental!) and also when I was hanging around Parkway. Special mention must go out to the people I met during my check up because I truly expected to be alone that day. Thanks, you guys brightened my day(s). You know who you are.
I had a bad dream a few days back… I dreamt of my Civics Tutor and I was telling her how I managed to pass Math and I actually did well for it. Then she responded that I did fairly well for the rest of my subjects… all but chemistry, which was the subject that she teaches. Not only that, I did even worse than I did before! Shit.
Okay, either I’m too fucking stressed, or I’m just fucked up like that. Damn.
I hope I don’t do too badly for mid years seriously. I’ll just die.
Wish me luck. And good luck to you guys too.
God bless and study hard!
The album packaging is so cool! It's plastic wrapped like the items you find in a supermarket!
