A breeze of air gushes
In through the trees to the right
Sitting on a bolder
From dawn to night.
A wizened old man
Supporting a beard of pearl
Blind, mute and deaf by choice
Dazed in his own world.
"I had a choice,
To go left or right"
Yet, a man chooses to cease
Stop the journey,
Omit the gift of sight.
A decision was never made
Choices couldnt be brought
So all, once a young man, did was
He sat there, and thought.

At the table
Money thrown across
Faces sour at the thought.
Two pairs form a team,
Yet fighting their individual wars
Smashing with each draw
Clashing with call,
The scene turns ugly,
When the winner takes it all.
The mouth that shouted
Greetings of prosperity
Now mouthed the uncouth,
Losing breeds vulgarity.
Deep in thought, loss in numbers
A second's folly and the pile crumbles,
"Shit!", one man wins what another won
One smile of glee leaves another forlorn.
Yet at the end of the journey,
When the compass returns to north
Everyone will realize,
None are at a loss.
Happy Chinese New Year (Cannot stand the NIU year greeting, damn lame)
Mahjong. haha, unproductive yet simply entertaining.

You lil pranksters, told me you're not gona be here.

But when you came, the frowns faded away,
And all your happiness were here to stay.
(more on tribe tmr!)
And made me feel special in their own way
Steph was there, in today’s ups and downs.
And a fantastic present, shh, the secret’s bound.

You really know how to make me smile.
Your sms was the best this evening
Loving you is definitely worthwhile.
Speaking of Meis, WanLin and PuiMun

And that’s what counts. Don’t feel guilty
It’s all in our brain, just don’t do it next year again.
To the many miracles, who wished me online
Wenjia, Ruth, xiuzhen, yiying jie, Sandra, Prakash and all
If I didn’t mention you, it’s coming with age.
Please scold me, there’s always a new page.
For all these miracles in life, I really want to thank.
For giving me the best birthday ever, I really must be frank.

I always wanted to try this, today, in the last few hours of my sixteen year old life, I shall attempt. My Media Player's on shuffle, all my songs in the playlist.
Mirages
A river flows on (xi shui chang liu)
Listening to the sea cry (ting hai)
For fluttering freely in the wind
Is a nonexistant butterfly (butterfly)
There's a reflection of a fire in your eyes (staring at the sun)
Showing the love between heaven and earth (ai zai tian di jian)
It's been a night, an entire night of tears (hao ai ta hao xiang ta)
In that painful look for that so called heaven (tian tang)
Showers of water pour out (showers of love)
A thousand words, a thousand embraces (1000 words)
Remember the games of the angels (guardian angel)
Amidst the day when everything melts; masks and faces (dong jie)
An old yellow lanturn stands out (hui dao guo qu)
Held by the one who survives, who's alive again (because you live)
Having tasted, with thanks, the flavour of life (flavour of life)
That flavour, which delusions,bring about. (mi shi xiang)
Just a smile and the rain vanishes (I lay my love on you)
But just in a moment, after a life's wait (Dreams)
I know they'll vanish away forever (The last song i'm wasting on you)
And only silence will engrave the date. (Yi zhi hen an jing)
Pay close attention, yet dont listen to me (Must be dreaming)
A kite follows a dream, forever tied to a string (Tian kong)
The ending cannot be changed, dont bother hiding (Xiu xiu xiu)
Look into your heart, they're in every human being (I'm yours)
There've been many things that existed yet didnt in my 16 years.
They gave rise to many problems, pain and even caused the loss of lives.
This poem is for those who have been cheated by the mirages of life...
At least they give hope...

Discount
After a certain time...
An hour of every day...
A price is slashed,
There becomes less to pay.
Ignore the people around you,
Forget that the stock may be bad,
A second later, it vanishes
You wont have what you had.
People fighting for one,
Yet pretending they're civilised,
Arm and leg and heart,
Only one goal in their eyes.
A nearly empty shop,
Gets filled to the very brim
A war is brewing,
Patience wearing thin.
The cashier's dragon
Seems to gain in length
In fighting for discounted goods
Do we see pure strength.
I went opposite after keyboard lesson today. Baker's Inc had bread selling at 3 for 2.50. its a war there. XD

I don't know about you, but this is something i strongly believe in.
The stars are the gems
For the hopeless to love.
Each time you see a star,
Someone out there yearns.
The clouds, curtains;
Veiling the future in the sky
Each time you falter, a shoulder
will be there for you to cry.
The die are friends of fate;
Playing around in turn,
Yet somewhere outthere,
A match is made in heaven.
I want to tell you this, have hope kid.

For my close opposite, the reverse of me.
I'll never forget those eyes
As they looked up at the sky
Tears held back,
Along the stone bench...
A faint aroma of love,
Yet a stinging sense of pain...
You stepped into my footprints,
All over again.
Yet I admired deeply
The firmness in your heart
As you set your mind clear
And knew how to part.
You did things I never dreamed
Withstood all odds standing strong,
Giving up what you love,
For where you belong.
I ask of you now,
I pray for your strength to last
Remember the seaside, that promise
That date will come fast!
Hold back your pain,
Be strong girl...
For a flower will always bloom again.
Mei, you're one strong girl, i admire your way in handling things.
Please dont let it get to you alright?
You know that there's a listening ear here for you if you need it. =)

The Mute
Clad in office-wear;
Prim blouse and proper skirt
Her high-heeled shoes echoed
A melody akin to dirt.
Two offsprings she had given;
The latter doted on more
She used to walk off without the former
Still tying his laces on the floor.
Bills and money;
Inferences had to be made
For between mother and child
Nothing was to be sad.
She never spoke a word;
Greeting nor well wishes, none
Yet he knew inside of him
The cold war had begun.
I'm convinced I'm taken from a rubbish chute. Results still not mentioned? haha try tomorrow.

The Maid
Sleeping for times fading with age
She constantly faces a lady's rage.
Yet now, this grew with each passing page
Of the journal of a boy.
She gave up her prime
A whole years, seventeen in time.
Yet, without being paid a dime
For the growth of a boy.
In the ghastly hours she'll wake
Matters of the house, singlehandedly take
Yet, that peace of mind, they'll never make -
The family of a boy.
Lately she cleaned up the battlefields stained with blood
Kin on kin, the sword of tongue never in the scabbard
As the remains of the family fall together into the mud,
With the tears of a boy.
Someone gave up her life to look after me, yet she goes through the same suffering, perhaps even more than I do. I'm sorry...
Results stuff tomorrow... this has drained me.

Empty
Absent, a void appeared
The desk was unoccupied
A pair of butterflies laughed
At his pathetic plight.
Plate by bowl by cup
Food forced deep within
Yet that could not fill
That large space in him.
Darkness engulfed the days
Yet it wasn't really there.
Like the lady in his dreams,
The one with white and black hair.
The eyes that never met
Lost their pupils, became white
The significance that never came
Reduced him to such a disgusting sight.
Never knew going was so painful till today.
For you, Carmina, and those who cannot get what they desire...
Forbiddened
A fruit laid in the garden
Enchanting melody tempts
Yet it'll forever be a dream
Regardless of the attempts.
What's the point of dreaming
When it'll never become real?
You set your eyes on treasure
Only for others to steal.
As long as he's happy
As long as she's pleased
It never matters, if
To them you're the very least.
Yet it's unforgettable, that very pain
To be, forbiddened once again.
Kid, I'm in your shoes, I know how it feels, but this is what i've got to say...
Man wants it all,
The heavens let it fall
When you don't want to close your eyes
Heaven tempts you with another disguise.
Pray hard, pray strong,
I'll be there all along.
The pain will forever be
Blood and scars, the eye cannot see
They'll never know,
They'll never realise
How important they've become
In our very lives.
We chose this path
We picked the very trail
Follow your heart, fool,
You'll never fail.
I don't want to give up, forbiddened may it be, but maybe time will heal kid.
Take care, i'm around to listen if you need it. (:
Hands
I went to marina today... this could start my posting here.
The shoulders rubbed
The shadows collided
Yet the melody of love amidst
Never subsided.
They were everywhere
Two by two going about in clenches
Or around waists in benches
A lone ranger wanders
Them in the pockets
Desiring for sheilds
Especially above his sockets.
A heartbeat went missing
With every couple he saw kissing
She never did held his hand
It wasn't them who made things possible
But when his eyes on her name land
His heart felt it again.
Cease the thought, cease the vision
Give up on that impossible mission.
He nearly went mad, yes it was true,
He wished he was holding hands with you.
The person this is for probably wont read it.
