WARNING!!! EVIL PEOPLE!!!



hahaha... not really that evil... except maybe for kevin... he is pureblood...
this is a pic of well... the people i hang out with @ school... from left: eugene/elena/zhang ziyi (honest!)/teo ban huat (not honest...), KKL, kevin CTW (children's television workshop... the people responsible for sesame street!) a.k.a. blackhole ass, fabian yong/hibiscus boy/downpayment/convertible (yet to find out his full chinese name) and evelyn/evil-lyn/lin yiling...
these people make like in school that whole lot more fun! thanks guys... this is my little ode to you people.... CHEERS!


KKL's MOBILE... damn it looks shiny...


this is the car in which the 6 of us go around in... imagine 4 people squeezed in @ the back... goodness... but i love it anyways... although without the GT wing, it looks... well... not as "strong"... it's in the workshop now getting an entirely new brake system for 2.4k... KKL sure got money to burn!

anyways... here is an entry proper... well... term break came and went... so much for that... was busier during the term break than any day of the 7 weeks preceeding it... 16 hours of postcard-making follwed by 14 hours of print-making... 5 hour sleep followed by outdoor drwaing which suffered due to burnout and the inability to feel my fingers due to the previous exertions... but it was good lah... like i always say... if you do it because you like it... it's worth it... quite satisfied with my works actually... i'll put it up if and when i get the stuff scanned and uploaded... no promises... caught up with hafiz over the weekend... dude is getting fatter... by the minute although he says he is staying off carbo... right... i'll believe it when i see it... he stayed overnight at my place and said it was cold (sorry no blanket) when i was hot maybe because he slept under the fan or i stay on the 17th floor.... either one... blah blah blah... met up with liza and aisah... no imran this time... felt weaker due to his absence... had a nice time although aisah was hiding something... the ben and jerry's choc chip cookie dough ice-cream was damn good though... and yes... i still despise boat quay... and then i had the idea that if someone gave me a warrant card, i would drop everything i am doing now, cut my hair, don my uniform, get armed and equipped, get into a patrol car and go on the beat right away... heh heh heh... ahh shucks... got a sign indicating that my reservist date is drawing near (not tooo eager for that though) when i met someone from my intake under my block coming back from camp.... the uniform is horrid... urgh...
well... that's about it i guess... i reading books again now... don't ask me why... and it is that time of year when i fall sick... but nothing so far... term is starting.... level zero is ending... i still do not know what to do for level one... had a talk with my dad... glad i do... appreciate his concern... i appreciate both my parents even if they don't... daddy wants to go for overseas holidays in june... i was thinking GOBI desert... hahaha... and my dad was actually fine with it... i can so hear my sis saying, "ARE YOU MAD?!" but then again... i have had a yearning for such places since i can remember... the emptiness allures me i guess... but most probably we will go to cairo or istanbul since due to my dad's affinity for historical places... ok ok... i've sadi too much... till next time...

end: 22

from my emptiness spawned my forever.
a fleeting dream, a shackled past and i thought of nothing going against what i perceived to be the ordinary staying defiant bearing curses.
as the world beneath me gave way as it keep on its constant trudge on the overbearing imposters set loose on a fury hell-bent.
the stars fuelled my dreams and inquistions, the moon answered my lonely pout outside my window and a night eye covers my watch.
the world as i know is devastated but from the ashes i spring faith, hope and renewal under the vengeful watch of a jaundicised eye.
stop me if you can, a blue illusion became the source of much discovery and from it, i learn, you learn.
with hands still in my pocket against the contradiction of a rat in a cage it has been set upon again. the unknown looms as if weary of another pursuit of meaningless trades.
uncertainty rule and doubt became an order of the day as once again life as it seems takes on the knolls.
rumoured ramblings whispers upon ageing ears and watching the world go by becomes an elusive task.
now it has become that once you let go will you truly understand that the mysteries of the universe are meant to be hidden away under lock and bolt.
the young grow old and die but the youth ebb on tirelessly somehow though you still leave a piece of it behind with the passage of good old time, loose that and suffer.
if you can believe all this is true, you can believe i was meant for you as unassuming as you came.
a realisation that all is well, of those of you who are with me on this long, winding road. i am glad to have you alongside.
comrade, partner and eventual friend not to discard those i have been graced with along the way.
to the many in transience are all apologies, know that it was a call but live with the knowledge of best intents.
to the neo and arachnid to the arrow of a thousand hopes, those times were good with souls that made the day the fond.
a tragedy, a recall, a blip on an error screen, the frustration of alls brewing in a silent scream.
the future i egg on a little each day with the promise of fulfilment as expansive as the ethers combined...

33

Speak to me in a language I can hear
Humour me before I have to go
Deep in thought I forgive everyone
As the cluttered streets greet me once again
I know I can't be late, supper's waiting on the table
Tomorrow's just an excuse away
So I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own
The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
Steeple guide me to my heart and home
The sun is out and up and down again
I know I'll make it, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you
And for a moment I lose myself
Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
I've journeyed here and there and back again
But in the same old haunts I still find my friends
Mysteries not ready to reveal
Sympathies I'm ready to return
I'll make the effort, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
Tomorrow's just an excuse
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you
