The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood,
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Today feels completely contrasted from yesterday.

It started drearily. Still smarting from my carelessness yesterday and not having rested well since geog, I thought in the morning that the weather so appropriately matched my mood.

I wondered why they said the cumulonimbus clouds produced by convection currents due to the ITCZ is of limited height. I thought the foreboding grey clouds in the sky looked towering enough. Perhaps clouds causing copious precipitation or rain at fronts are more gigantic. that would be pretty scary.

It was thus with a solemn mood that I made my way to the exam venue. 'Locked' within the grey walls of the sports hall, we nevertheless knew to some extent the storm that brewed outside. Twice or thrice before the paper started, there was a short but sudden and loud sound of rocks hitting the roof. not rocks but rain falling on the sports hall.

Frankly speaking, I have no idea how bio paper went. Perhaps its because all Bio papers have been approximately the same for me. Half the time I'm not sure what the question really wants and I'm just whacking what I think the question is asking for. Like what my friends say, they gave 3m for what seems like a 2m answer and we were hard pressed to discover where the 3rd mark came out from.

2 hours later, bio was done. Then it was the chionging for math.

I think by then I felt the stirrings of a headache developing. Thankfully, it didn't interfere with my studying and it went away as quickly as it came. there were just too many other things to concentrate on.

maths paper was okay i guess. i think im too zonked out after 4 consecutive papers to be able to evaluate objectively how the paper was.

so math is done. bio core is done. phys geog is done. after handing in the paper i did experience an absurd sense of loss. its like finally after 2 years, you don't have to touch the familiar set of notes anymore.

congrats to the 18 of us in the entire school who have managed to survive the past two days. after this we can do anything.

although i felt that for chem bio and math the little bit of studying this past two days wasn't crucial in helping me cope with the papers. it was more of the stuff i did in the previous weeks...

then things started to look up when I met my canoobs! like 4 of them at one go! such a rare occurence. (: haha... really miss crapping with them so much. just seeing them totally makes my day!

and then when i sat down on the train, i glanced up and saw a magnificient sight. the low scattered clouds were bathed in orange and yellow light such that the bottom was a golden hue and the top was still greyish yellow.

it seems such a long time since i admired the setting sun on the train.

it certainly brings back memories.

sometime during the past few days, i had a sudden revelation. perhaps i am beginning to come to terms with the matter. perhaps i'm finally ready to let it go completely. and about time. its taken long enough.

I'll always remember yang humming this song to herself on that fateful day two of our competition.

Rob Thomas - Little Wonders

Let it go, Let it roll right off your shoulder
Don't you know, The hardest part is over
Let it in, Let your clarity define you
In the end, You will only just remember how it feels

Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists and turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours
These small hours
Still remain

Let it slide, Let your troubles fall behind you
Let it shine, Till you feel it all around you
And I don't mind, If it's me you need to turn to
We'll get by, It's the heart that really matters in the end

All of my regret, will wash away somehow
But I cannot forget the way I feel right now
In these small hours
These little wonders
Still remain
