Back from exams

Hi guys, at last, the exam season is over!

Didn't score too badly for this term. I'm quite satisfied with my results.

Today's mothers' day and as I walked along the streets of Orchard road this after noon, I saw many roses in the hands of proud and happy mothers---too bad, my mother's still working today...

This scene of roses sparked off a poem.

Well, originally it was in English, but because Mr. Dorje has been yearning for a chinese poem, I shall translate the poem into a chinese one...but pls dun blame me if it is too horrible to read. (i mean for the chinese translation)

So here it goes:

Title: Lifeless(?) Waiting(?) Life(?) Cherish(?)

In my hand was a rose,
so withered,
so still,
so lifeless.

I dropped a tear,
so gently,
so hopefully,
wishing to fill it with life,
just like those in fairy tales.

But as I waited,
so silently,
so hopefully
..........
....................
.........................................
so naively,

it lay,
as withered,
as still,
as DEAD,
as before...

~end~


Now, the chinese translation : :

在我手里有一枝玫瑰花，
一枝枯死的玫瑰花，
一枝失去了生命的玫瑰花。

我的眼泪掉落在那枝玫瑰花，
多么希望，
多么渴望，

能给这枝红玫瑰花
多一次的生命，
多一次的喜悦，
多一次的快乐。

那枝玫瑰花已被我的泪水湿透了。
但是，
那枝没了生命的玫瑰花，
只在我的手里，
不停地睡着。。。睡着。。。

~end~

I think the chinese translation is a little screwed...but anyway, just wrote for the fun of it...

till next time!
