Im in class, motherfuckers!

Haaa, ujin, im in class u know. good ah?
ha ha. my classes this semester is quite ok. I dont have any male lecturers. good classmates, tonnes of homework. no tutorials. and i have classes everyday! chow hai!

as in right now, im having my English appreciation class. we are learning about... basically literature lah. now, we r doing Walt Whitman's O' captain, my captain. pretty awesome poem. its about the civil war and the death of Abraham Lincoln.




O Captain my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:

But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills;
For you bouquets and ribboned wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;

Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck,

You’ve fallen cold and dead.

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;

Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,

Fallen cold and dead.
