Poem: Evening Song by Leong Liew Geok
Come,my darlings, let me see
Your files and papers
please; Put them neatly on my table:
How did you fare in Assessment Three?
Off with TV; sit on either side;
Let’s first look at Chinese and Math.
I wonder if you’ve progressed –
80 for Math?
A shocking slide!
And you, my girl?
This will never do!
Chinese, only 82?
Listen, both: Peabrain! Cretin!
These are the pits –
I expect better things from you!
All this will count toward
Your final position in the standard;
Pull up your socks; shape up, or else
Demotion will be your reward.
Since overall performance is AVERAGE,
I must assign more exercises,
So you’ll improve in CA Four
To secure an A-‐STAR percentage.
A word with your tutor may increase
A 70% stake in the subject;
Spending holidays with her, my boy,
May change your grades in Chinese.
What’s that whispering I hear?
Brain damage from too much work?
There’s mud in your cerebral cortex–
Grey matter has nothing to fear!
Never forget the fact –
There’s nothing like an early start;
Avoid Normal and Express for SAP
You brats – take that! And that!

Reflections:
I paired this poem with the picture because both the poem and the picture addressed one main issue which is the increasing stress level with work in our society today. In the poem, the parent is depicted as a person who pushes his/her children with more work and more tuition, and expecting his/her child to work under the tremendous stress level, and not accepting his/her child’s current grades, which is at or over 80%. The picture is depicted as a lot of work done, but more is still to come. The article reflects the issue of the increase in level of education, in a more positive way, as the child said that his extra classes were “more enjoyable”.
I like the poem most, as it evokes a sense of urgency. It reflects the fast paced society today, whereby we will lose out if we cannot catch up to the fast paced learning.f0rgotten inn0cence fell in love on 8:29 PM.

My bro just had his 21st birthday party. Many church ppl came over to my uncle's house. They played like wii 'ravin rabids' and PS3 guitar hero. Wow my uncle have sound surround system and the whole house was just blasting with music. Not that i'm complaining lah i think it's quite cool. Then after that they went to a LAN shop then my bro returned like wad??? 2am??? OMGosh. I hope my 21st bday can be like that too man.
urgh sigh i have a lot of piano to do today... WTH
Life's so tough. I just wanna lie down on the sofa, curl up into a ball, and hibernate. The world is just like an illusion. Whatever you do, it's just like a dream. So what's the point of doing it in the first place??? you'll just forget it in time to come... sigh i think i'm such an emo person. I have just finished cutting the mango bday cake that's to be shared with me and my bro. Sigh. I'm looking forward to my bday.

I havent posted from goodness knows when. I think i'm quite deprived in the sense that I cant use the com, I cant have fun with MSN and facebook... Sigh. I'm missing out on so much on the com. Like seriously.
My bro bought a new laptop so he gave me his old one. :) I'm using it now to post:)
Sigh exam's coming soon... AND I havent prepared yet. Especially math ok. I suck at graphs. And yet I can still be here...
I know I havent been online regularly so u guys may not have seen my blog for ages, and may not in future. lol ok I'm getting depressed over not being able to use the com...
my wish list:
-I can lead a more normal life and get to use the com more often
-I can do well for piano competition
-I will not day dream too often and do better for all my work.
ok, I think it's reasonable right???
I guess I got to log out now...
always love ya,
elysia
