Speaking of standing, which I have none, the only thing that is important to me is to know that you're happy.

Those particular memories of '07 tell me that this ain't a simple-minded person, and I thought I should let you know.

In case no one does.


I like to think that I'm right all the time, but then again, who doesnt? I just wish that you know what I meant when I said sometimes what might seem so right at a certain point in time simply doesnt cut it. Learning and realizing it the hard way is only the beginning, at least to me.

Perhaps one day we could conduct a little experiment and take away those carrots that we unwittingly (or knowingly) dangle in front of people, and make a little observation, we would be able to see lucidly exactly who are those who respond only when there's a carrot. A second valuable discovery awaits, though. It is how these people respond when they realise that the carrots have are now a thing of the past. Iron filings that surge towards a magnet, any magnet.

Aldous and William both got it right I think. That part about the alternate doors of perception, that really hit the nail on the head.

Sometimes, you wonder about the proverbial leeches in their true but ugly colours, clinging on to their dear lives on the calf of the unknowing river-crossing traveller.

And you wonder why no matter how much you warn the traveller he doesn't seem to be able to catch anything.

This time it's different. Where the river is as long as eternity, there is only one inevitable end for the traveller.

Them leeches gon' suck you dry.

today marks children's day. where we are supposed to forget what we came to know as we became adults.

today marks the end of the fasting month for our muslim folks. a month of impressive perseverance that us non muslims will never be able to imagine enduring or going through.

today marks GST rebate day. where we are supposed to remember to be thankful.

today marks SDPC day. another "first" that we can be proud of.

where the failed bailout and the 777 Dow Jones incident overshadows the passing of a Singaporean revolutionary, I'm thankful and glad that I do not have to be worrying about my lifetime savings with AIG, simply because I have none to begin with. At least, I still am in a position to put things in perspective. Of course, the lesson of the day is to keep all your savings in your safe at home.

Cash in the pockets beats hype on them backs.
frivolity with threads invites mere karmic tomfoolery of a different fad.
Now, now, ain't that rad?
Goldstein shall come, to stop this sin, and
save our skin. Freedom shall beckon, but even she cannot
Reckon,

De Niro the hero, shall start this Game from zero

happy bird day

Yesterday, or two days ago, however strictly you view the clock by, was the ninth of august two thousand and eight. So there was this one helluva celebration and a hell lot of fireworks being thrown about. In the heart of an impending racing extravaganza, amidst the exciting buzz of a never-before resort (the first ever in fact), and right smack in the nexus of the commercial hub. What a glorious way to remind us how the year has past.



Thanks to cable TV, someone had the pleasure of waving the flag at home while enjoying the gun salute.



And of course, I'm sure the manhunt for these people continue to intensify despite the roaring of fighter jet planes.

The lyrics are quite (n)emo but the beats really killed me and thats what matters. If anyone has the time, check out the vid on youtube. Note the part where the guy brushes his teeth and washes his face it is hilarious.

There's something in the air tonight
A feeling that you have that could change your life
There's something burning up inside
I reach out for you and our hearts collide

With hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight

I've been searching for a love alive
Drowning in the silence as we walk the night
Your hand is out and brushes mine
A moment that is frozen as we hang in time
Hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight

Let's dance, put on your red shoes and
Dance the blues.
Let's dance, for fear
your grace should fall
Let's dance, for fear tonight is all.
No, it ain't all.

I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd I guess I got too excited when I thought you were around.

So I thought about our bad attempt at pulling off an "On The Road" stunt and the guffaws that followed. Then there was reptilia and heart in a cage that came into the fray and the memories of tripping. Things just fly by my very eyes in as lucid a manner as possible as if on replay so realistic that even reality felt unreal right next to it. The impending Mecca to the land I remember only for Kanchanaburi and ninja vans and placebo oasis and the forgettable "chasing cars" churns out as many signs as one can foresee or be told. 6 days and 6 years seem all but similar yet homage must be paid and it must be paid in the most fucking fantabulous way as possible because there is no because.

knowing lum in the army was probably one of the best things that happened cos hes always such a fighter. always hauling 2 projectiles while the rest had only one. always up for supper. he had the most grit one could ever imagine. and people like him just made everyone else feel like working harder. sometimes when u meet such great people u forget how many out there arent at all. sometimes you look around you see nothing at all but hey dont fret no worries it dont mean there really ain't nothing it just means there ain't nothing only for now even though for now feels more like forever. this world needs more sincerity.
