10:43 PM

because I want to say some random things.

1) I received bad news today! Will lament later.

2) The band website is completed! Zhenyang did a wow job. But I do wonder who drew those instruments at the side. They look genius, really. Oh go check out the conductors' section. And see Leng's vampirish face.

3) I don't think I'll be blogging next year. Since I promised myself to be busy with school work. So treasure my posts from now till 31/1! =x

4) Whoever ruined my stat count of 666 will DIE. Or be made to bunny hop all their lives.

5) I've learnt something new today! The tune that I knew for ages is called Fur Elise.

Now the sec3s-about-to-be-sec4s are squabbling over the money collection tomorrow. But Lionel is surprisingly civil. At least to me.

One early morning, before the sun rose, a boy went to the beach.

It was still dark, except for the faltering street lights. The boy got up from his warm bed and pulled on a jacket. He moved quietly because the rest of his family were still in their little spheres of dreams and slumber. The boy creaked his door open. The cool, refreshing morning air seeped through and sent any remnants of his sleepiness away and left him bright-eyed and quick-breathed.

Slowly, he crossed the street, careful not to disturb the neighbors. Once, he accidentally kicked a stone and it scuttled across the road noisily, but a spin of his head confirmed no harm done to the serenity of the unawakened night. A few steps later his sneakers rubbed harshly against the grainy sand, and he was at the beach.

The boy looked up. The sky was still a shadowed hue of heavy blue, an intense aquamarine that transcended to distances beyond the boy's sight. He moved closer to the sea.

The first thing he felt was the breeze. It swept over him, as if it was a sentient being, wrapping its soft moist touch around the boy's ankles; his arms; his eyelashes and ears and trembling lips. The boy blinked, and huddled his jacket closer to himself. Then he set his eyes on the sea, the turmoil of waves rising majestically and dramatically against the sky, like gigantic arms reaching out to the low swirling clouds. It was beautiful. He could hear the crash and seethings of the waters as it hit the rocks and sand then retreat draggingly back, only to reel up once more, infinitely, to repeat the cycle.

Setting his sight further, the boy could not distinguish the horizon because at a mysterious point the skies merged into the sea with a subtlety of tones undetected by the boy's eyes. He had a strange dizzy feeling of awe, enraptured by the lightless pulchritude. He shivered. Dawn would be breaking soon. He threw himself on the expanse of sand, staring at the lightening sky. Then he closed his eyes and listened to the lullaby of the sea, a gentle pulse rocking him to sleep.

I was really, really tempted to end the story saying, "Then a giant squid ate him. The End."
