steal the sky

oh well.
the sky was gorgeous yesterday.
did you see?
in the afternoon?
that awesome infinity of blue?
and the broken pieces of white?

it was
like a giant jigsaw puzzle;
bits and pieces cobbled together;
somehow perfect in its own weird and wonderful way.

i've finished the book thief
its a nice book
perhaps i'm being to vague
but
nice it is.
one part of it reads
"One was a book thief
The other stole the sky"
and all under the label of
"A NICE THOUGHT"

steal the sky
"A NICE THOUGHT"
A LOVELY THOUGHT
that's better.

i didn't see the sky today
maybe a bit
it peeked out at me
from behind a couple of blocks
dark periwinkle
pretty
a mix between
this colour
and this colour

but that was later this afternoon
and not during school
which means:
1. i didn't look at the sky in school
2. it rained or was about to rain

anyway, i received my exam papers today:
1.chinese
2.english
3.maths
4.literature

erm: one A/ three Bs
guess which one if you feel you really must.

it wasn't as cold as expected.

to talk about yesterday
we learnt how to remember
and i still remember: 40 words from the day before

twin towers/ hot air balloon/ elephant/ flowers/ tent/ rocket/ lorry/ jackie chan/ ladder/ camel/ noodles/ monkey/ washing machine/ burger/ CD/ MRT/cat/ umbrella/ chair/ queen
(20 words in order: only showing 20/40 words i remembered)

i remembered the above through a story. we learnt how:
From behind the twin towers rose a hot air balloon in which an elephant holding a bunch of flowers stood in a tent shaped like a rocket. It suddenly turned into a lorry from which jackie chan ran out and climbed onto a ladder, dropping onto a camel eating noodles. A monkey stole the noodles and hid in a washing machine out of which came a burger with a CD. It was brought onto the MRT and was eyed by a cat with an umbrella sitting beside the chair the Queen fell on.

but to tell you the truth, this most likely won't work in helping me memorise the textbook.
why?
cause it's awfully difficult to make a joke out of the truth.
which may be bleak.
take history for example, how would you make the fact that thousands were massacred and tortured during world war 2 funny?
it's not a joke.
it's not funny
in the least.

righto.
tomorrow is:
5. history}
6.geog} not in any particular order
7.science}
8. home econs}
dread colours the sky
gray tinged with black
maybe red and orange
with huge (definitely not white)clouds to boot

more bout the sky tomorrow
it's time to steal the sky
and
paint out the colours
