out of time.. - blur

where's the love song to set us free
too many people down
everything turning the wrong way round
and i don't know what life would be
if we stop dreaming now
lord knows we'd never clear the clouds

and you've been so busy lately that you haven't found the time
to open up your mind
and watch the world spinning gently out of time

tell me i'm not dreaming
but are we out of time
we're out of time
out of time..

5 more days! aaaahh!!

sparkle me.. ... - buffseeds


"your eyes they always sparkle me with love... - buffseeds"

Poetry In Motion..quite literally..

I have this habit..lots of poetry come to me when i'm outside - whether it's on the bus, driving or just walking around..and it's really funny that these are usually the best lines and ideas..like the other day when i was on the bus and i was keying this into my handphone..

greener pastures, finer moments
prettier women, sinful temptations
naked bodies, not yet twenty
not yet married, not yet attached
incredible bed skills, but not a perfect match..

and i wasn't even sitting beside a pretty girl! but the sad thing is..i usually won't go on to complete them either because the next parts will sound weird or i'll be too lazy to key it in my handphone or write it down and by the time i get home, i'll forget the lines..one i did go on to complete however is one regarding a rainy day at a news stand..i'm still trying to improve on it though so it won't be seen too soon! =P anyway, just the other day i came up with this at my office impromptu..or something like this!!

(something my friend said that ended with -ian)
chio bu bian ah lian (beautiful girl turns ah lian)
xiang ta nan sui mian (thinking of her, hard to sleep)
qi lai, bei nian nian (wake up, blanket sticky sticky)

don't you think it makes a perfect ah beng poem? but well, my chinese sucks so i'll leave it at that =P then again, i've "left it at that" for most of these sort of poetry..poetry in motion? yeah, running from my head..

MesSy MeSSy!

just skipped class..again!

feeling bitter..not better..

feeling confused..weird..

feeling agitated..frustrated..

i'm too emotional..sentimental?

maybe i'm just hungry..haven't ate..

and when a person is hungry..he can't think straight..

gosh!

What is Love?

Reminds me of that song by Halloway What is love? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more... But really, what is love? Sometimes i really have no idea.. Some say love is when you think of someone all the time.. Now frankly speaking, who in their right minds think of their partners 24/7?! I mean, thinking of your partner when you wake up? ok..thinking of your partner as you start the day? ok..having breakfast with your partner? ok..thinking of your partner as you go to digest your breakfast? what the?! thinking of your partner so much that when your boss flares up at you, you tell him "thank you love..i really appreciate it"??!

But seriously now, how often do we think of our loved ones? Honestly, i only REALLY think about them when something goes wrong or something bad happens (touchwood) but all the time? often? We all seem too caught up in this rat race nowadays that when we go to sleep, instead of sms-ing our partners "good night", with the thought of them in mind, we sms them thinking that once the sms has been sent, we can get down to our studies or work or play.. And don't tell me that's not true cuz i'm sure it has happened to the best of us before! So most of the time we end up doing things just for the sake of doing it..

Example :
AD : Why do you go to all that trouble for your girlfriend?
Boy : Just do lor..if not she nag me then my ear drum spoil! I mean, she my girlfriend leh, should do also right? But frankly ar, why she want roses i also don't understand..1 dozen somemore! Make rose syrup better right? Can make so many jugs, can drink, add milk can become bandung somemore!
AD : -dumbfounded-

Ok..so maybe that was just an exaggeration..but it's so true nowadays that most of us just do things blindly, because either we HAVE TO or it's only RIGHT we SHOULD do it.. Then again, our society here promotes such habits.. So many workplaces and schools are like that..

Example :
Boss : Please speak up for the gooooooooood of the company so that we may improove our standards.. remember, everyone of you is unique and your ideas will be much appreciated.. -twitches moustache for effect-
Tom : I would like to suggest blah blah..
Boss : Yeah..but i feel that that has already been rectified by the blah blah blah..
Joan : Boss, I feel that the workers..
Boss : But if the management allow the workers to blah blah blah..THANKS for your suggestion anyway joan.. it is MUCH appreciated!

Sad to say, this is how most companies and schools in singapore function.. it may seem funny but it's damn true.. we always need to improve but other people's ideas always seem poorer than your own.. How else do you explain all the smart replies the Boss in the example had for his supposedly unique employees! As such, we usually just sit like we have been muted during such sessions and the boss or the head will be bladdy happy that everything is alright..

And so, we end up as puppets..puppets to our bosses, our loved ones and even to ourselves.. So where does love come in?

University Student : After i'm done with this assignment..i promise..
Technician : When i'm done with this job..
Boss : When i'm back from the US..
Primary School Student : After i finish this game ok? Nearly the last stage already..

Sadly, as in the words of one of my favourite singers, love won't wait.. not all the time..
