Muse-ings

Well, I’m inspired. I haven’t really talk abut myself in this blog for quite a while. So, let see what’s going on with my life now. We’ll do it in kind of a different way, with the help from inspirations themselves. Along the way, you might also learn a thing or two about Greek mythology.Let each of the Muse help me…

Muse #1: Clio, Muse of History

A little history lesson…I came here to on a scholarship to pursue medicine. I knew what I would have to face: studying, studying and more studying. And that’s what I’ve been doing for the past few months. Almost non-stop studying. I miss home, where life is so carefree, easy and with less responsibilities…If I wrote a memoir, I can fit studying into a whole chapter…

Muse #2: Calliope, Muse of Epic Poetry

My life now is no Titanic…more like Lawrence of Arabia…Challenges everywhere and would take a lot of effort to handle. Exam a coming in a week…Life is tough. Why can’t my life be like The Godfather…kill someone, being in exiled, and then rise up and become the Don. Then again, life is not over, and it’s going to be an epic journey

Muse #3: Erato, Muse of Lyric Poetry

My lyrical thoughts and feelings are buried deep into the bottom of my crumbling mind/heart, and would only spring again once exam is over…in a month’s time *groans*…

Muse#4: Euterpe, Muse of Music

The only music I hear now is via my earphone when I’m doing Maths/Physics. I can’t listen to the birds’ songs anymore…it seems like everyone is becoming sorrowful…

Muse #5: Melpomene, Muse of Tragedy

Water would be out again for at least two days starting tomorrow or the day after (maybe today. NO!!) I lived in Sabah for 17 years and as far as I can remember I haven’t had any serious water problems for more than two days, even then we still had some water in the tank. I’ve been here for less than a year and I already experienced 2 water crisis (3rd one incoming). Hopefully that’s there will be…

Muse #6: Polyhymnia, Muse of Choral Poetry

Choral poetry, recited in ensemble…Yes, thankfully I have many friends here whom I can depend on. It’s actually quite remarkable I can be comfortable with new people in just a few months. Maybe I am growing up (eerk!). but I do miss my friends back at home, or rather all over the place. Hopefully we can meet again during the sem break…

Muse #7: Terpsichore, Muse of Dance

My rhythm now only involves waking up, go to class/library, go back home to rest, then study and finally sleep. Then repeat. 5,6,7,8…

Muse #8: Thalia, Muse of Comedy

My humour is dry. I can’t even think of anything funny to put in this post. All the thoughts of humour went to studying. I can’t crack a joke now. Knock, knock. Who’s there? No one, cause  I have no time to visit anyplace now except CR and library.

Muse #9: Urania, Muse of Astronomy

I’m seeing stars from too much studying…I need to see stars from entertainment mag…I miss staring at the moon…I just did a presentation on aliens, and uh…what was I talking about again? Sorry, my head just got lost in space…

In conclusion, I’m stressed out. I need a break from studying; enough with the logical thoughts, I need some creative ones too. But then again, exam’s in a week. Sacrifice, sacrifice…sigh. Well, wish me luck for exam and regards for the other thing too, before the exam
