La Solitude -- An Assignment for Advertising Creative Planning Class (character)


O Cory, O Tory

I shall tell a story
About a man who loves glory
Glory he thinks comes from himself conclusory

Remember the tale of Narcissus

The  lad fell into the lake full of hocus pocus
Staring at his own reflection as flawless as hibiscus
Forever he may think he is a basilicus

Perfect he thinks of his life

The thought had become a pocketknife
Which sent him quickly to the afterlife


----0000----



Sir Phil-O-Sophy is a honorable senior lecturer
He spends his day teaching and walking from corridor to corridor
Wearing shirt and trousers; leading his apprentices to the holly altar of science
Books, scrolls, quills and spectacles every pupils must have
Old documents to be read; Science within to be caught


Sir Phil-O-Sophy has every apprentices' respect
He is aware of it and he deserves it
Until one day he stares at his reflection in the mirror


"I am old and I am wise

I know a lot of things people do not
I have everything a man wish to have
Apprentices who follow faithfully
And my self, who live flawlessly
I shall let the world worship me in the altar of intelligence, shall I not?"


Noble Sir speaks and teaches for himself ever since
Listens to no body
Knowing no one is better than him
Doubting former knowledge -that it comes from old study
from other people's thought
The thought which contains nothing but flaws

Confused apprentice are leaving him behind
Neither Kant nor Epictetus
Dear Sir said was true
Pupils disagreed; pupils fleed

Not long til the time
He is all alone in life
Left behind and in need of a company
He stares at himself in the mirror
Looking at an old man who has nothing

Sir Phil-O-Sophy like Narcissus
Loved himself too much
Too much that he had nothing left for others



"For long
I wish I had realized what I saw in the past
I HAD NOTHING BUT PRIDE"


He sobs and weeps
Drowning himself in ultimate solitude ..........





"Narcissus, Narcissus
You indeed have a lot of adherent"
,whispers Echo 










"I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing"

Socrates


Bonne nuit, Narcissus

Hamsterrific!

Sunday morning is really special for me! It's time for my hamsters :)) Yes, every Sunday morning my daddy, my sister and I have all the hamsters out. We clean all the cages and aquariums. That's one o' our way of having good quality time as a family. Daddy usually washes the cars and mummy cooks lunch. Pure happiness  ♥ Well in this post I'd like you to meet my babies. Yes all my hamsters... I have 13 of them :) Here is Jackie... We call her "Kubil" cause she's so annoying She loves to bite! *that's why I used that pink mop* She's a winter white pearl. I did have a complete family, but they died of rat attack long time ago. She's the only one left. Poor her... My boyfriend loves her so much *jealousy* (-,-)  Here goes Judith.. I was inspired by The Beatles' song "Hey Jude" His full name is Judith Rochelle and he's a Syirian Long-Hair. He's cute and cuddly.. My favourite! He's the oldest an...

One of The Most Important Decision

So many things happened in life recently. I have just lost a grandpa.. A person whose stories I will forever miss. A person who could make people feel so much. I am so lucky to be able to be beside him through his last moments. How can I describe it? My grandpa passed away peacefully. He was healthy, just went to doctor for a check up, when he found out that his heart was running only with 40% function. He then got hospitalized for a week. His heart was weak, which inevitably impacted his lungs; But he was still able to talk & do things normally. Just needed to stay in bed. I spent my weekend with him. I scooped him some mashed banana, so it would be easier for him to swallow medicine. I helped him with his cough.. I have never imagined I would see him not-energized.. My grandpa, a war hero... He was a very active man. Even after turning 88 yo, he still spent the weekend visiting his children/grandchildren. What really touched me was that: even in his last m...
