Its been so long since Pinocchio decided to pen down his thoughts. I guessed he is really lost this month. There are simply too many distractions and he simply could not find the time to concentrate practising his magic.

Firstly, he was extremely shocked to realised that he had advanced to yet another round of telling-the-truth-nothing-but-the-truth contest. As much as he wanted to believe that he has the gift of the gab, the fierce competition from all the famous characters such as the baboon from magadascar and Dory from Nemo dwarfed his confidence.

Next, if he is gonna be advanced to the round where his face is telecasted on television, how he is going to face everyone in Fairyland? Publicity made him nervous and he doesnt enjoy the kind of unwanted attention everywhere he goes...

The never-ending land beside fairyland is also looking for suitable rehcaet and Pinocchio would really love to see what is so special about never-ending land. He knows the consequences if he leaves fairyland--well, simply put that his career advancement may be jeopadized...

In the midst of the darkness (or confusion at least), Pinocchio realised that he has found himself a good soul-mate who has this unique connection with him--Froggy, aka, little green frog, seems to be the only emotional pillar for support. Though froggy may appear a little cheapo at times, Pinocchio knows that knowing froggy is the best thing that has happened to him for the past months.

He just wish that froggy would stay longer this time and not hop away from well to well anymore.....

Hi Snow White

How have you been? Its a while since I last wrote a letter to you. i hope everything is fine. Do you still have phobia eating apple? Perhaps you should try eating those from Japan, those big fat crunchy ones aka Fuji apples are more expensive than the rest so you probably don't have to worry that the cheapo evil witch will buy them to posion you. Remember to have a balanced diet, especially so after you have been dormant for so long!

I have been fine. I went for the audition to be the host of Telling-the-truth-nothing-but-the-truth talk show and was so shocked that I went in for the first round! Gosh! Prince charming, Cinderella, little mermaid, Belle and the Beast were all there and the chances of getting by to the first round was so slim. I guessed I must have been lucky. I almost could'nt walk straight out of the room when the little green light was lighted. But right now, the headache is to how am i going to tell a lie that I am going for the competition this coming Sunday.. you know that I simply cant tell any lies!! *Sigh*

Went out hunting with Mr Invisible today, he has a sharp fashion sense and I was glad that with his help, I bought a suitable wolf-skin for the next audition. Realise that Mr Invisible doesnt have a sweet tooth so he probably did not engage the waffle ice-cream as much as I do. Heehee

My heart feels rather cold now... I aint too sure what I am worry about but I just know that I somehow has this void in me. My godness, perhaps I am becoming a real boy soon? Yes, no more wooden exterior, but flesh and blood just like everyone else walking along the street... yeah!!!

Alrighty, got to end here because I need to sleep oreadi. Remember to write to me soon.

Your best-childhood-Pal

XOXOXO

Pinocchio

Today, naivonni from studio45 need not have to attend any lessons in fairyland. However, all the rehcheat in fairyland are furiously doing their marking to see how have their naivonni(s) performed this year.Only the talented naivonni will be selected to proceed beyond their sophomore years to learn more magic from the rehcheat next year.

Pinocchio finished his part at around 3 pm and received a extremely good piece of news from fellow rehcheat--all the naivonni(s) from studio41 and studio45 passed their magical assessment with flying colours! Yes, compared to other naivonni, they are the only studios with 100% passes. The highest score in the entire cohort came from a boy in studio41! Boyish and always smiling, iejiew claimed a total score of 91 in his wizardary examinations on making objects fly in circular motion or defy the law of gravity. Pinnocchio also couldnt believe himself when all his naivonni(s) passed with such good score, with some making progress of almost 20 marks!

But Pinocchio felt so tired after he reachesd home that he did not want to head out despite it being a Friday night. In his mind, he is thinking of someone...

Pinocchio feels rather down today. He thinks that he might have just lost a friend. While growing to know that he is slightly different from the rest in the school (he is made of wood after all), there hasnt been a day when Pinocchio has stop trying to fit in. Though he always manage to conceal his wooden body well with all the thick cotton clothing, he knows that beneath his wooden exterior beats a heart that yearn to be loved and cared for.

But for the past few days, Pinocchio thought that he has found a friend!  Someone who is willing to cheer him up when he is down, lend him a shoulder to cry on when he is sad or listen to him talk about aspiration, dreams and goal. Pinocchio thought that with the little hints that he slowly gave, his new friend will understand his little secret of being a little wooden boy. "Perhaps my new friend, like myself, is made of up wood too." And so he thought.

However, reality hit Pinocchio hard. The entire episode wasnt what he thought to be. It was strange, given all the attention showered, interested showed in forging a deeper friendship... The friend eventually finally told Pinocchio that a wooden friend isnt what he was expecting him to be. Saddened, Pinocchio realised that he has been led on to believe something which was never meant to be. As much as he has tried not to read between lines, it was just beyond him to understand why did his new found friend refuse to explain further.

But Pinocchio, move on. You know that is not the end of the road.There are many, like you, who are still waiting to be loved. You may be a wooden boy that your heart is sincere and genuine. Cheer up and understand that the world is more complex than just love and hatred.

just thought of sharing something which i wrote a while ago.. that was my very first attempt to wrote anything remotely poetic, yet I could still feel the pain and angst when i penned it. Incidentally, it was the night when we could see the planet Mars on Earth.

Silent starry night

Not a lonely soul in sight

Heart is pounding for love so far

Wandering mind, restless like a child

Gazing upon this little star

Wishing to know just where you are

Unspoken words that were never heard

Love so real but yet it hurts

Immense distance ever apart

Love still bind two close at heart

Timeless nights of eternal faith

Little star, will I see my love again?

I admit i am a hopeless romantic. My sanity would be utterly stripped off when it comes to affairs at the heart (or is it affairs of the heart?) I wish that I no longer have to write a poem like that anymore. Seriously, the pain was just excruciating.

Anyway, cut the mystery...
