Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication

My Own World

2006-01-29T17:45:00.000+08:00

I sit here alone, in this dark place.
My mind has gone crazy, my heart's in a race.

I sit here alone, with my thoughts gone mad.
I feel I'm insane, my life's turned bad.

I sit here alone, I'm all messed up.
I have no control, it's time to give up.

I sit here alone, I can't hold on.
I'm losing my grasp, my sanity's gone.

I sit here alone, my freedom is here,
The struggle is not over, I try not to shed a tear.

I sit here alone, I shall never see light.
I have only darkness, In my own world tonight.

Screwed-up lunar new year.
I need a break.

2006, here we come.

2006-01-01T01:17:00.000+08:00

At the sound of the tolling midnight bell
a brand new year will begin.
Let's raise our hopes in a confident toast,
to the promise it ushers in.

May your battles be few, your pleasure many,
your wishes and dreams fulfilled.
May your confidence stand in the face of loss
and give you the strength to rebuild.

May peace of heart fill all your days
may serenity grace your soul.
May tranquil moments bless your life
and keep your spirit whole.

Light of Life

2005-12-31T14:37:00.000+08:00

A light that shines, shows us the way,
How we need that light each day.
We need the guidance that it brings,
And of course all those other things.

Like praying and having faith in life,
Working hard and fighting off all the various strife.
To be God fearing, try not to commit sin and such,
I feel that is what we all need very much.

So shine a light and show the way,
Help other people every day.
Be staunch and proud, by being true,
Then other people will look up to you

Dreams of Freedom

2005-06-07T21:50:00.000+08:00

Sometimes I wonder what it is like to be free,
Like a monkey swinging from tree to tree,
Or like young eagles way up in the skies,
Calling to each other with joyful cries.

Oh, to be free and without a care,
Not to live in bondage or constant fear.
To live each day and spread my wings,
To forever be untouched by negative things.

Joy is Everywhere

2005-04-16T23:57:00.000+08:00

And Joy is Everywhere;
It is in the Earth's green covering of grass;
In the blue serenity of the sky;
In the reckless exuberance of spring;
In the severe abstinence of gray winter;
In the Living flesh that animates our bodily frame;
In the perfect poise of the human figure, noble and upright;
In Living;
In the exercise of all our powers;
In the acquisition of knowledge;
In fighting evils...
Joy is there Everywhere.

Everyone has feelings.
Do not worry if you're sad.
A gay person is always, as friendly as your dad.
So if you really are one, I hope to see you soon!
Happiness in a person does not last,
and soon one will be steaming hot.
People make others laugh by telling jokes or riddles.
We can also make others down when there is bad news or so.

People are embarrassed when they are ridiculed.
It isn't quite unusual when our faces turn red.
Some people are quite hot-tempered, so write a sign to say:

B-E-W-A-R-E !!
B-E-W-A-R-E !!

This person's a dare!
Don't come too near,
or you'll be doomed.
So get lost right now,
out of his sight and roll down the hill,
Before he strikes!!

Other people are impatient, when you request them to wait for you.
They'll be heated like a kettle, and whistle too!

There are many more feelings I cannot say,
for there're a hundred more than names!!
Jealous, frightened, numb, or relaxed, they're all from the letters A to Z.

Why Worry?

2004-11-10T11:02:00.000+08:00

Why worry about tomorrow,
And the rising of the sun.
Or anguish over past mistakes,
That cannot be undone?

Why waste life's precious moments,
On things that bruise the heart;
When today is ours to fashion,
Into a work of art?

Today comes but once, my friend,
It never returns.
So use it wisely while you can.
There is a lesson you may learn.

Let history, record the past,
And tomorrow come what may.
Be content to do your best.
With what you have today!

ME!

2004-11-04T01:06:00.000+08:00

When you feel sad and betrayed,
Who can you count on every single day?
When you feel lost and alone,
Who will be there for you in every way?

When you've made mistakes and bad decisions,
Who can you count on to tell you you're wrong.
When u feel you can't go on,
Who will be there to sing u a song?

Look into your heart and you will find,
That person you can trust is not far away.
Look deep into yourself, don't give up.
For if you do, it's yourself you'll betray.

When you're looking for answers,
To all your questions and dreams,
There is one person you can count on,
It's impossible, I know, It seems.

But take a few moments to look deeper inside,
Look into your heart and there you will see.
You'll be surprised when you find out,
That you've been looking for ME!

Beauty

2004-10-06T23:33:00.000+08:00

Have you ever wondered what exactly Beauty is?

Beauty comes from within. That's what I define as inner beauty.
Not everyone has that. Neither do I. I wish I'd. I'm not perfect. No one is.

Say 'Yes' only when you mean it. If you don't, jus say 'No'.
I don't know how easy this may seem to all of you, but it isn't to me.
Easier said than done.
Maybe i'm a coward, maybe it's just me. Yes I am a coward.
I runaway i hide i pretend. I'm born this way.
If you think that I should change, just give me 5 reasons, and yes i will try to change.

Is outer beauty really that important?
Yes we've to admit that we yearn to be good-looking.
But think of it indepth, looks aren't that important afterall.
So what if you are born with good looks? No big deal alrights.
Everything still boils down to one's character.
God made us, he created the way we look.
Everyone has outer beauty, but it depends how u interprete this beauty & how you handle it.

Inner beauty + Outer beauty = Natural Beauty.
Again i repeat, Beauty comes from within.
Yes there are people with this beauty.
I would say there would only be 1 out of 10.

Do not wear a mask.
If you are wearing one, remove it now. Reveal your identity.
Trust me it will do you good.

We should not live as if the whole world owes us a living.
We should not live just for ourselves.
Live for others as well. You will find the joy when u do that.
If we live just for ourselves, we're better of DEAD.

Optimism

2004-10-02T20:48:00.000+08:00

Optimism is like this...
A little bird in the sky,
You look up & it shits in your eye.
You don't mind & you won't cry,
You just thank god that COWS don't fly.

That was just for fun.

Anyways, life has been rather boring.
I'm trying to study.
The notes & books give me headaches.
The drills are getting on my nerves.
The atmosphere at home suck.
My memory is failing me.
The whole study week has been wasted.
Sighs.

You disgusts me.
Good Riddance.

My defences are breaking.
I'm about to crack.
I need help to get me back on track.

Where am I

2004-09-29T20:40:00.000+08:00

Don't know how to take it
Don't know where to go
My resistance running low
And everyday the hold
Is getting tighter
And it troubles me so.

Time flies. Things and people change.
So have I. But why?
Where's the real me? I dont know.

It's a gift that we're here.
We walk through this journey once.
Treasure everything and everyone you know.
For you never know what will happen tomorrow.
No one is perfect, so just forgive and forget.
Bon Voyage.

To TB016, it has been a joy knowing all of you.
The past 3 months have been wonderful and unforgettable.
Thanks to all of you, people like emi, dan, ani, dawn, deb, reemie, xy, bern & more to mention..Love ya all to bits!

Realli gonna miss u all, do meet up wheneva we can okokok?

To Cheryl, Van & all the rest, all the best for Os okeis?!
Do your best and don't worry too much, I've faith in all of you! =)

There's a fire within my soul,
And suddenly I lose control.

Why?

2004-09-07T19:27:00.000+08:00

After rain come rainbows,
To brighten up the sky.
Answer me this question,
Have you ever wondered why?

After storm there is the calm,
Do you wonder why?
These things can cause harm,
Like lightning in the sky.

Nature can be marvellous,
Do you wonder why?
And people can be frivolous,
With the hi and bye.

We all take things for granted,
Which we never ought to do.
And those things we take for granted,
Are part of life for me and you.

Love, Me.

Running...running......

2004-09-04T02:34:00.000+08:00

I was running..running...running to nowhere..I couldnt control my legs..where the hell was I? I didnt know...i felt so lost so afriId i didnt know what to do..Was someone chasing after me? I dont know too..I heard voices here there everywhere..I couldnt hear my screams...My head was spinning & I couLd hardly breathe...but still...I kept running.........and then...
I woke up. And here I am, my heart thumping like a bullet train..i'm perspiring & shivering like a mad freak. It's just a nightmare I guess. But it seemed so real!! Hai and i cant get to sleep now, I'm afraid the moment i close my eyes i'LL start running again. But anyway, I'll just lie on the bed Now. Gd nites.

Madness

2004-09-03T18:27:00.000+08:00

The world unraveled in my own madness
I grasp the air and feel the sadness
that overcomes this tired soul
I grasp the air and lose control
Of all the beauty that surrounds me
Solitude is still my friend
For in myself I find peace again.

Fly Away.....

2004-07-26T21:11:00.000+08:00

Fly Away

There's no talking to this man

No way of knowing what he thinks inside

There's no way to understand

His stupid words of foolish pride

Scared how he takes it all in stride

Knowing there's no pretty other sideI

'm going to let him fly

See him walking out that door he goes

Going off to promote his career

Probably traveling with that woman he knows

Forgetting everything he's leaving here

For some reason there are no tears to cry

Glad to see him go

I'm going to let him fly away

Things moving at such a fast pace

The little girl is now all grown

Wanting a better life and place

Wanting the happiness that he's never known

And before the light leaves her face

She's going to let herself fly away.

And she's going to fly far far away.
