This is a drawing by one DDzim on DA.
awesome is it not?

To those who know me, know that I love to draw.

Its a natural thing to do for me, fingers wrapped around a pen/pencil and drawing, be it on paper, or not. 

Thoughts flow through lead, materialize through surface.

Its a form of expression sometimes, a window into my head, the untangling of the swirl of thoughts in there.

The reason why I draw are not a lot, simple.

Its to please, to fulfill, to have something to do when I'm bored, however, the meanings, that, is a different thing.

A haven in the storm of life.

A place where Life comes to a still.

The complications of life just dissipate into the air.

Its really a marvelous place, the Bamboo River.

Flower petals always up in smoke,

Its like a perpetual high, where time ticks by so slowly.

The rigidity that Time always has on our lives, seem to melt away.

A pocket in the Universe, detached from this world.

Magical places/things reside in the world,

you just have to open your eyes.

Sprained my ankle in a strange manner, really sucks cos now I can only limp really slow, or hop with one leg.

AND, next weeks road run, awesome.

When I cannot study when I plan to, I draw. This has been something which has been in my head for sometime now, just didn't have th time to draw till just now. whee.

Hi, its been awhile hasn't it?

Its February. Second month of THE year. Kinda fast if you ask me, but oh well, everybody has 24 hours each day. Slowly picking up the pace, I know myself, I take awhile to start, anything, and even then, it'd take me some time before I eventually pick up th pace. This encompasses academics, thought-process, GROWTH, and yea, many other things I guess. Strangely, I'm beginning to enjoy school, naturally, it has become part of my system, this routine, expectations and whatnot.

So, the J1s have arrived, settled and ended their orientation! Even though it wasn't mine, not anywhere close considering I'm not even an OGL, it was fun actually. A breathe of fresh air, to say the least. New faces, new potential and new personalities. This years going to be an interesting year and I REALLY hope that we get hyper/enthusiastic/imbalanced juniors for TJCCC, damnnn, its going to be AWESOME.

Today, my Father turns 50.
Normally a stoic man, he doesn't show much affection.
Hard to crack, he has been through much difficulty.
Rarely do I ever hear or see him show his emotions apart from anger.
However, when he said thank you to my brother and I as he was about to enter his room,
It affected me quite deeply, in a positive way.
Beneath that thick hide, lies someone who's quite sensitive, though he may not show it.
Yea yea, I might sound slow for not realizing this as a normal human personality,
but he's my father and thats rare. So yea, Happy Birthday Aba, I hope you are happy.

A chip of the old block, I realized that I'm quite similar to my dad when it comes to this emotions thing. Haha
