Verses & The Rabbit

i'll stand by you
the pretenders

OH, WHY YOU LOOK SO SAD?
TEARS ARE IN YOUR EYES
COME ON AND COME TO ME NOW
DON'T BE ASHAMED TO CRY
LET ME SEE YOU THROUGH
'CAUSE I'VE SEEN THE DARK SIDE TOO

SO IF YOU'RE MAD, GET MAD
DON'T HOLD IT ALL INSIDE
COME ON AND TALK TO ME NOW
HEY, WHAT YOU GOT TO HIDE?
I GET ANGRY TOO
WELL I'M A LOT LIKE YOU

each verse has like 10 lines, but i only published the first 6 lines of each verse. go figure...


yesterday, there was a rabbit hopping around in the middle of orchard road. it followed me from PS to lido. tickling me as i walk. the rabbit has some flowers, which it held by it's side, as it hops around behind me. left and right, right and left, and left and right again, totally ignoring the weird stares that it got from everyone around it.

you may ask, why didn't i just walk abit faster. maybe i could just pick it up, and give it to the nearest person who is willing to take it in. or maybe, i could just tickle it back. but sadly, for me, i'm not allowed to. because i promise it not to...

moral of the story:
don't make stupid promises.

2nd moral of the story:
if it tickles, bite back.

Heaven on Earth

nothing exciting happen in base today. the last min work, the inefficiency of the system, and the general apathy of the NSF.
i go to base knowing that in an ideal world, and in an ideal situation, i wouldn't have to waste 2 years of my life, watching out for people who will never drown, and doing paperwork which has absolutely no meaning to me. that i could just go back to study, and release the drive and enthusiasm in me to make something out of my insignificant little life. to show the world what i am capable of.

but as the fruit juice stall uncle once said, "if this is a perfect world, it would have been called Heaven instead."

i guess i'm just glad i only have to go back to tuas today this entire week.

monday and tuesday are the days for the RSN swimming meet. finished 5th out of 8 guys in the 50m and 100m breaststroke. 3rd out of 4 teams in the 4 x 50m freestyle.

thursday, i'm on off. friday, is hari raya haji.

on my way home today, i did a mental calculation of what may happen in the near future. sort of like a lifeline timetable schedule.
when i ORD, i will be 22. next stop, uni.
if i were to study for 1 year, i'll be 23 when i get a degree.
if i were to study for 3 years, i'll be 25.
and if i were to study for 4 years, i'll be 26.
26!!! holy shit...by the time i managed to get a job, car, and all the other fancy stuff, i'll be like...on a wheelchair!!!

this is so demoralising...

Atomised

the sole purpose of religion is to bring humanity to a perfect state of unity...as soon as people stop believing in life after death, religion is impossible...

Life Without Sugar

not everyone craves for love.
some just crave for acceptance.
not everyone longs for acceptance.
some just wish for survival.
not everyone wishes for survival;
because not everyone wants to live forever.

by feeling...somethings are just done by feeling.
on a good day, it awakes me.
on a rainy day, it breaks me.
and when it rains for one day too many,
it drowns me.
simply by feeling...

Somebody Told Me

it feels wrong,
it feels right.
on my way home,
every night.

i can't pretend.
i can't comprehand.
i can't aim,
nor feel the same.

don't run away,
do not be sway.
from what i crave,
that everyone raves.

it will come,
and so will i.
a sense of calm,
an untrue lie.
