To me, this verse really stood out as I was reading William Blake's The Schoolboy. One reason, perhaps, is also that my sister did speak to me of it a few years back. when she was in JC. Only that I clueless about what she was talking about then.

An extract from The Schoolboy:

How can the bird that is born for joy
Sit in a cage and sing?

Just some things that I learned yesterday...

I've decided to take a few minutes to update before starting on my schoolwork today. With the promos drawing near, I think it will be quite some time before I update again.

Plenty of things have happened since my last entry. There were theNDP rehearsals, Interact Installation, helping out with a filming that took place in TPJC... etc. Almost all of ( Read more... )

My very first entry in LiveJournal. After two years of blogspot, I have made the switch! Haha. I decided to give LJ a go because of Melissa's enthusiatic appraisal of LJ. Apparently, it's much easier to upload pictures onto LJ.

Went to watch Harry Potter last night with CX and Mel. I really had an enjoyable time, even though I missed both the last ( Read more... )
