I stuck to faith
Im glad that my dreams are not crushed. That I have been given a chance to pursue my passion. I might not be the best and I know that throughout the next 2-3 years, my will power will be tested. Yet, I will always remember that someone once told me, " Whatever course you decide upon, there will always be someone to you that you are wrong. That there are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage." Courage and faith.

you put my love on top
To my best friend: Faith has stayed true to us in so many more ways than one. You've always given your all. You're the one i can always call. When I need you, you make everything stop. You put my love on top. -Beyonce

independence isn't easy.
![]() you inspire me to bring out the best in myself in every single thing that i do, you remind me to believe in it. I'm learning how to drown out the constant noise that seeps into my mind. I don't have to prove anything to anyone. I only have to follow my heart, and concentrate on what i want to say to the world.

assignment 01
i wish for him to be a security blanket for me.
i wish for him to be loving and kind. i wish for him to be the soul and body of my dreams. i wish for him to be patient enough to lie down with me and star gaze for the rest of the years. i wish for him to be in the pursuit of no other women but me. i wish for him to stay strong for me and for us to walk side by side together, always. i wish to find hope and faith in the one-millionth part of him. i wish for him to have the desire to discover ever part of me, and thereafter every inch of my soul. i wish for him to lead an unorthodox and controversial lifestyle. i wish for him to be able to fill the emptiness within me, to know that forever doesn't exist. i do not want to wish of someone too much. i just wish for him to be him, for him to be someone i am not and for him to be someone like you.

10 years from now
partners on board the squidship
every conversation with you keeps me afloat.
i love you for your heart and mind, and even though i know you can't always be a phone call away anymore, i look forward to the very thought of one. through the darkest of adversities, the thought of you has had kept me going strong. and even through this dwindling lifestyle of mine, the hand-picked solace we've experienced has never once failed in calling out to me like a lifebuoy appearing ever so magically within this self-perishing sea. ::) alien monkey smiley ftw.

The formation of trash, dust, sand,
My world is transforming into a metropolis of repetition and boredom.
I look into the mirror with the same long questioning stare. And what I see is the reflection of my bare soul. My world seems to be a short dictionary of misunderstood words. A vicious circle of unsatisfaction within the social realism of individuality and society. Even now as I lie here alone, the ugliness of life has presented itself to me through the clarity of social barbarism, which is reigning supreme this very moment. I yearn for the moment, the vanity of words, absolute sound and a pleasant and happy-all-encompassing passing. Living for me, means Seeing. Yet seeing is limited by two borders: strong light which blinds, and total darkness. I am lulled by the blissful and imaginary uproar that darkness can reveal. Pure, thoughtless, visonless, perfect darkness without end and without borders. Darkness so infinite we each carry within us to allow a complete disintegration of this dissolving soul.

i feel that i'm living in this delusional world of my own.
within some kind of bubble. one that someone would one day, casually stroll over and pop it open, releasing every little happiness and emotions within it , forcing it to evaporate into nothing more than thin air. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ what ever will i do when that happens? i dislike it when i'm feeling so frustrated over the decisions that i have to make in life. im so afraid that i will make the wrong choices and end up living in a confused state like manner for the rest of my being here. i want out of this routine that i am leading, this present moment.

... frustrated? Yes.
at last when i find someone to whom i feel i can pour out my soul to, i stop shock at the words i utter.
they are so rusty, so ugly, so meaningless and feeble. Yes, within us there is joy, fulfillment, a strong sense of connection and companionship. But the loneliness of the soul in which i have once felt has long been sunked into an appalling self-consciousness which is horrible and overpowering. such is that i long to think more deeply, to write better, to draw better, to feel better, to live better, to love better, and to translate my thoughts into words verbally, better.
the day when i stopped, looked up and pointed out the beauty of the piece of white against the blue sky to you, you did not look up for only a mere second before casually continuing your walk down.
you stood there with me for as long as i did, and loved the world for what it was/is. and that's when i knew.
I... I... I... I... I... I... I...I.
Being conditioned as a child to the lovely never-never land of magic, of fairy queens and virginal maidens, of little princes and their rose bushes, of poignant bears and Eyore-ish donkeys, of life personalized as the Queens love it, of the magic wands, and the faultless illustrations - the beautiful dark-haired child winging through the midnight star-path, of the hobbit and dwarves, gold belted with blue and purple hoods, drinking ale and singing of dragons in the valley----
To go from this, to the world of grown up reality. To feel the tender skin of babies thicken. To become aware of exams, submissions (the very words as unlovely as the sound of chalk shrilling on the blackboard) bread and butter, marriage, sex, compatibility, war, economics, politics, death and self. What a pathetic blighting of the beauty and reality of childhood. Not to be (as much as I sound) sentimental, but why the hell are we conditioned and placed into the smooth strawberry and cream fairy godmother world, Alice-In-Wonderland fable, Mother-Goose tales, only to be broken on the nail as we grow older and become aware of ourselves as individuals with an awfully dull responsibility in life? to be aware that one must compete, and yet know that wealth and beauty will never be within reach of one's realm. to learn that one can never learn anything valid for truth, only momentary and pathetic transitory sayings that apply to one in one's moment, one's locality, and sadly enough, to one's present state of mind. to despise money, which is a farce, mere piece of rotten smelling paper, and to hate what one has to do for it, and yet at the same time long to have it in order to be free from the slavery of the lump. to know and remember the nasty little bold ends of conversations and sentences angled at you; made to strangle you on the invisible noose of insinuation.

when your weekdays become a routine and you no longer look forward to the day ahead, what happens then?
Monday, November 22, 2010
so it seems my thoughts are at times misjudged by people.
and when such a thing happens, what they seek, is to hold dear to them the power of pollution.
money talks
money talks, but it don't sing and dance, it don't walk.
following the paraphrase, i wonder why i'm still trying so hard. i know the former well. yet, why do i still keep pushing myself? is it not easier to face the world courageously with nothing but a lover and a penny, than to forsake the simpler things in life? considering that if i choose to to believe that power is more important than money, and that money is more important than happiness, what kind of person does that make me? as one with society?

separated by distance and time
i hate the fact that all i can look forward to at the end of the day's me staring up at my blank ceiling while listening to, OH WOW! a talking phone.
if i didn't think
There have been mornings when i am at low ebb. Nights spent waking, tossing and dreaming sordid, incoherent little dreams. mornings like this.
I wake up, my head heavy, feeling as if I had just emerged from a swim in a pool of warm polluted water. My skin greasy, my hair stiff, oily, and my hands as if i had touched slimy and unclean. The thick air does not help. I sit in bed lumpishly, an ache at the back of my neck. I feel that even if I washed myself all day in cold clear water, I would not be able to rinse the sticky, untidy film away; nor could i rid my mouth of the furry unpleasant taste of unbrushed teeth. i figure that if i didn't think, I'd be much happier. he'll be home soon and i'll be secure for a little. Oh, how we need that security! How we need another soul to cling to, another body to keep us warm. To rest and trust, to give your soul in confidence.

sandy stars
i just want to lie side by side with you on the sandy beach.
stare up into the night sky, talk our souls away. no pain, no passion, no hurt. just you and me as we both hold on to the night, knowing that in a day, we would both be plunged back into the new world filled with confusion, dilemmas and the fight to find the right equilibrium individually again.

last night being a civilian.
wei wei got out of the car, spilled his coffee all over his feet, broke his slippers yet still came hopping towards me while it was drizzling.

i miss the nights when we didn't need to have to care about time.
when we stood just right there and held each other close, looking out into the rushing waters. i miss the days when we had no care in the world. i miss just staring up into the clouds, switching glasses with each other just so we get equal opportunity, watching them dance around the blues.

a stroll under the moonlight
![]() 1) painting 2)tj beach. i will always keep in memory the night we stood luxuriating in the blowing air. nights when you talked me through the stentorious roars which echoed and magnified through me. you never misunderstood my hestitation, but took it all in. many a times when the complexities of life were beyond me, i was able to turn to you. you listened and took part in the many talkfest that was needed. hence i am breathing more freely now. we will have many more pretty pleasures and petty anoyances. and i stay strong to the believe that the 2 of us will be able to pull through this.

my 9am-12am job.
work's been a real strain for me.
but i'm loving every minute of it. the adrenaline rush, going from one meeting to another, listening to issues and the way they're solved, learning new things everyday and nights spent rushing to meet a submission. sure, it might not sound like the healthiest job in the world, but getting the opportunity to meet new people, be given a chance to do presentations to clients and somehow be known in the working world gives me a great sense of satisfaction. it might be really stressful, and i might complain how tiring it is. but it's my job, and i love it. every single minute. i just need a pay raise.please.thankyou. x
