One of my more funny ones, I like this poem as I remember writing it while sitting in Coffee Bean the other day and I was kinda enjoying myself.

days like these should never end

Black garments clad him from head to toe,
A silver cross decorates his fair-skinned neck
He resembles a Black Knight, the ancient foe,
His menancing look giving him the visage of Evil perfect

A cafe I dwell within; for the moment
As i finish up work that tomorrow will never complete
A cafe painted with heavy brown, air thick with the coffee scent
This scene where I study and linger repeats

The girls I write of are not of country or rural origin
These dark-haired oriental ladies of few genuine smiles,
Are born and bred in this nuclear urban jungle dustbin
Where daily activities include gossip to keep their wiles

The caucasian family enters the coffee shop
Grandparents, their daughter and her two children,
Grandpa cuddles his baby grandson and time seems to stop,
As baby eyes contrasts between the his features and old man in his vision.

  Black Heart

She's an individual,
One truly owning a soul
Darkness taints her a little; only to make her special
Ideas continuously churn out of her endless imagination hole
She's big on relationships, friendly if you're nice
She's connected to others, those who she believes
Would stand by her and never in her ear spout lies
All of their presences drawn round her; never to cease
They stand by this attractive,
Self-assured girl of charm and absorbing darkness
Which taints her a little; she's addictive
Like a pitch black night sky illuminated by the moon's brightness
As addictive as dark chocolates tastefully warmed; sinful
She's a lady who tempts with her honesty
She bewitches with her plain beauty
And this poet, with eyes wide open, has fallen to become her lovefool.

  "Good morning everyone." This is just to remind myself that it's the freakin' morning! My aunt brought her friends along to see the piano and they bloody hell had to come in the morning while I'm still dressed in my PJs (luckily my hair wasn't too out of shape... they had two really young daughters but who knows, I might as well make good impressions for everyone. ) and this guy had to come earlier to check the bloody contraption. My stupid mum was still busy in the toilet, so my crap sister called my on my housephone first, before calling again on my handphone to tell me that I had to go downstairs to open the door for him. You must be wondering how come I'm making so much fuss. Well, it's not only because this is a Saturday morning, it's because I spent my last night/morning talking to Endee. She told me all about the council I never got into, her stuff with her boyfriend (that unremarkably I understood both sides of their relationship...), and all this because I haven't spoken to her for so long. Anyway, up that front this is finally looking up for that damsel in distress (who has like a few admirers, but these people are crazy. Not because they like her, well, maybe a lttle because they like her, cause everything spawns from that; these people make themselves targets for execution by the rugby team, it's like they paint real large red targets on their butts and say "Come Kill Me Please!"). I have absolutely zero idea why people always seem to first, fall for a girl who already has a boyfriend who is kinda their own friend, and why people just go through with it and try to make something out of it. I don't know about you, but seriously, if a girl, for example, for for my best friend (though I have none), i wouldn't particularly think very highly of that girl prospect-wise. It's a really shallow reason, but come on, it's like your friend already has that girl, you don't really believe that anything might come out of it, do you. Unless, unless you maybe knew the girl first and that she's really SUPER-(I mean, SUPER) GORGEOUS, that maybe you'd...WAIT, what am I saying!!! No no no, I still don't think it's feasible, to fall so madly in love with your friend's girl. So sick, it's like she's already been with your friend (not anatomy contact wise, no.) and then you go after her? How crappy is that? I mean, you could fall for the girl, but have absolutely no idea who her boyfriend is, and try to move in, but actually knowing the guy makea all the difference. So no matter what you do, do not meet the guy, especially if the girl really adores him. What you do do is to make contact with the girl, try to be her best friend, find out what are the chinks in their relationship, and then slowly build up on her dissatisfaction (if she shows any, that is). DO THIS ONLY IF YOU LIKE THE GIRL A LOT, I MEAN A LOT. But don't worry too much about your conscience, if you manage to get her in the first place, and things don't work out, she'll have the chance to still go back to her first wouldn't she. Take it as though you're helping her realise and find her one true love (maybe now I can actually try to convince myself of that seemingly noble option), which may suddenly turn out to be you and then you realise that you've made a mistake again and that you've got to try every possible means to get her back. THE ONE SURE WAY TO TELL IF YOU REALLY LOVE SOMEONE IS WHEN YOUR EYES SEEM FIXED ON THAT PERSON WHEN THEY'RE TALKING AND YOU HAVE THE IRRESISTABLE URGE TO KISS HER EVERY TIME. Anyway, good luck to all the couples I know, first and formost, Mark and Geraldine (has a nice ring to it...), HH and XH (HHXH, like some proto-fighter-jet codename...), Endee and Rugby, Jian Wei and Shuyi, Nicole and her brain, Hui Luen and her Self, Aletheia and Ben (:-o), Gen and LH, Zhongying and Jason. Congrats to you all, best of luck that you actually invite me to your weddings, and good night! (applause applause whistle whistle).  ¶ 10:00 PM 0 comments

 


Which Star-Crossed Marvel Lover Are You?  ¶ 6:44 AM 0 comments

  Well, I went to school again today to study, and it was so boring just studying. Anyway, today I had someone to study with me, Miss Janelle Mak. The girl who's parents are both pastors...(whoops. Sorry...) and we went to eat at the Alexandra hawker centre. I am so daft, I've not even been to the places around my school, like I haven't even stepped into IKEA yet. And today I finally went to the miserable counter of Starbucks @ PSA building. It was measly but I love the Caffe Mocha. Sat there for awhile then returned back to school. It was so boring that at 5+ I left with Jan to go to Citilink (managed to get her to go along...) and I wanted to buy the Jimmy Eat World CD, bloody rip-off, the CD cost $27.00. Crazy. So I went to Raffles City's Sembawang Centre and finally I bought the Sugar Ray 14:59 record. WooHoo! I love the beginning part. Then the other songs well...okay lah. I almost bought Alien Ant Farm, or American Hi Fi. Terrible terrible day! It's two more days to the COmmOn TEsT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bye!
Cheers!  ¶ 6:40 AM 0 comments
