to school to collect some stuff and decided to take a stroll around just to reminisce.
It struck me (only now) that as i walked along the corridors and the bridge that i am no longer officially part of the school. And as i strolled around, i started to see things, for the first time, as [...]

Prom!

I try to keep to my 10-minute-poem rule. =)
- – – – – – -
Masked
Altered human landscape;
painted eyes and faces.
The world was transformed
before my line of sight.
People, I know,
or think I do,
bustling to and fro.
Flashes -
into the future of ours;
we know not of
what is yet to come –
reflect off strained grins.
Excitement, indeed;
genuine intent for memory-aid.
Fear* [...]
so long farewell auf wiedersehen good bye

Couldnt leave school today without spending a while thinking back. Though i’ll be going to school to study 2mr, i felt that i needed some time for a short closure.
Reliving my days by location around the school as i viewed the school from a high spot in the boarding school, i realised that each venue [...]
counting down

2mr is the 22nd day before the commencement of the final papers. And that was the first time i counted to make sure; the other times i just shrugged it off and just noting that there was little time left and not know exactly how little was that little.
Im sure many students just weeks before [...]
useful quote for once.

“But be warned, you who thirst for knowledge, be warned about the thicket of opinions and the fight over words. Whether beautiful or ugly, wise or foolish, opinions are unimportant, anyone can follow them or reject them.”
There are always two sides to one argument. And most of the time, when it requires value judgements, both [...]

the end of ib and the road to the next phase.
I’m not sure if im ready for it: not mentally, not emotionally, not yet. Currently, i guess we’re all still in the let’s-just-get-the-exams-out-of-the-way-so-we-can-really-worry-about-the-future mode. Or are some of us in the let’s-just-give-our-250%-cos-once-we-do-well-we-dont-have-to-worry-about-the-future mode? Mind’s in too much of a comatose to think clearly now.
In this [...]
Why?…Why not?

Wondering why there are few people who see love as something with no strings attached. In treating others well, in giving of one’s best, in showing concern, in making the world around slightly better than one found it?
Many recent events brought me to question this. In lamenting this, im not saying that i embody one [...]
Frivolity

I dont mean to be. But some things just cant be put on public; i will get into serious trouble.
Sometimes i just dont understand why some things are. Choices? Implications? Repercussion? Hmmm… social conditioning?

sigh – background noise and frozen institutions
Posted in Something! on August 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Econs lessons are getting depressing by the day, where fault’s purely mine; a lesson about Nigeria totally tipped the scales of hope and despair. The fact that many institutions are led by self-interested individuals, even in those that seem to be the ones providing aid, just saddens me. Feeling the same things that inspired me [...]
What the future holds

For many of us at the edb roundtable discussion today, questions filled the air, accompanying the lovely chandeliers around the ballroom. At this point in time, many of us at this juncture often wonder what we are to do with our lives. What do we study? What university should i go to? Should i apply [...]
