CIP and an inspriring poem

Hi friends,
I just want to start off by telling you about a classmate who wrote a very inspiring poem that impressed me. I want you to read the poem and guess:

At midnight, it is pitch dark
There is nobody around
Even as I strain my ears
I can hear no sound.
Feeling boredom and emptiness
I wish to be reassured.
Even by the slightest wind,
Or the twitters of a bird.
When suddenly I see it right
A glisten that will heal me
That lights up my empty heart
The only hope it will be
The midnight star regenerates me
With all the wishes deserted
All is well and back to truth
And my true thoughts were heard.
I must thank you, sincerely
Midnight star of my dreams
You stand out in the sooty black
As your silver coat gleams.
Midnight star,
You understand my true feelings
Midnight Star,
You will guide my dreams.

I was extremely impressed. If you want to know, the author is An Yee. You can find more cool stuff on her fantaasy blog.

Anyway, today was the day of the CIP project on-the-spot competition and it was crazy! Everybody was like running up and down the corridor and frenziedly throwing paint and cut-outs onto the recycle bins. I tried drawing hello kitty on the box, and it looked totally different from the original pic I copied...

We finished in time, much to my surprise. Ruijun and I were drawing cutting pasting writing and screaming inside us. Some of our friends were painting and I don't think they had an easy time. But the end product was cool! I admired several artworks that were simply artistic. Judging by the way things are going, mine won't be shortlisted. But I don't quite mind, I have never been good at art.

The theme for my recycling bin was Yu-gi-oh on one side for the boys and Hello Kitty for the girls. LMAO the end product looked kinda weird but I am satisfied. It doesn't look as bad as I thought it would be and I was even kinda pleased.

I realised that I could not enjoy my Wednesday holiday. T_T I have to edit and assign a great pile of articles for the school newsletter and I'm so going to faint. It's due in 2 days time and I have to rush. Argh. Some don't even check their emails?! Plus my father's planned study schedule for tomorrow, looks like I will have a bad day. T_T

Cheers(not)
