9 million minutes

These are the 2 poems I've created sometime ago... before I forget them, I must put it here:

A water that has dropped, won't go up
A second that has ticked, won't go back
A moment that has been, won't happen again
A love that has passed, won't be the same
A heart that has turned cold, won't be warm again

A memory that has chosen to be forgotten
A lot of moments that have been deleted
A feeling of pain that has been felt deep down
A wound that has recovered, won't be wounded again

A name that can never be spelt backwards
A turn that can never be reversed
A tear that can never be wiped away
A path that can never be taken
A love that can never be revived

May peace, understanding and forgiveness lead the light
To a journey of discovery that has no left or right
Just a quiet small wish from far away
From a little heart that is not seen by the day
From a little heart that will pray
In this mess of life that you find your ray of happiness

Author's note: Human errs, life is like that.

9 million minutes

9 million minutes ago
A guest checked into a small hotel
Spent the night, paid and checked out
A school was opened and
A student started to spell
A mini market nearby was patronised
Snacks and sweets were in the pocket
A dog came and all ran like hell

9 million minutes ago
Ladybirds in the field were disappearing
A spider was found swimming
Police gave chase and thieves went running
Hand-made stars were twinkling
Hey, tube prawns were selling
A bee came and all heard was screaming

9 million minutes ago
Long laughters were heard
Short feets stomped
With noises drummed
Shuttlecocks ended up in trees or rooftop
All the callings to us were sound-proof
"It's dinner time!" yet nobody moved

9 million minutes ago
With flowers (or rather kutus) in the hair
Grandma's sarong to wear
Having tea with teddy bear
Watching piggies being reared
Hunger was not a scare
80cent koay teow soup easily available out there

9 million minutes ago
Hairs were pulled
Fights ensued
What a high pitch
The eardrums screeched
Mother had no clue
Who was telling the truth

9 million minutes now
There is no more student and teacher
No more catching little creature
No more bullying each other
Precious memories serve a good reminder
that we are still cousins, brothers and sisters
Looking back, we had really good times together

Author's note: A poem penned to reminisce the fun and play during childhood.

Blind and Broken

I am beginning to love LifeHouse more and more. The music, the lyrics...just amazing! Must buy the album soon!

Love is in the Air!

I am so lucky to witness the aeronautical acrobats performed by Singapore Air Force team right from the window of my 21st storey hotel room. I assumed myself that this is the pre-routine that they carry out in order to prepare for their upcoming National Day performance on August 9.

It's just so exciting to watch the group of speeding jetplanes with their thunderous sounds leaving trails of exhaust strokes. I wish I could be in one of the planes, the adrenaline rush must be tremendous up there!

This one is especially lovely - literally, Love is in the Air!

And I guess this one must be resembling an umbrella? Hehehe..

This week is the craziest week I've experienced ever since joining this company. In the same week, I walked in and out of Park Royal Kitchener hotel, 3 times, been in the flight twice and was in the middle of a roller-coaster ride when I was not sure when I could leave or stay.

I came back to KL after a 3-week stay here on Monday, got a call the next day asking me to return on Thursday. I packed up and left for Singapore on Wednesday night and got to know the original meeting that I was supposed to attend on Thursday morning was cancelled only at 6pm on Wednesday evening. I flew over anyway since my flight was 3 hours later. On Friday morning I checked out of the hotel and brought my luggage to the office, preparing to leave at 3pm but was brought around in merry-go-round until 6pm. Finally I had to re-check in into the same hotel, the same room (also the same room from my 3-week stay) and had to rebook my flight to Monday evening.

The project that I am working on is so stressful. I really had to shop today and I've finally find a pair of shoes that I really liked! Yay.. finally I have a new pair of shoes to wear to work on casual Friday (darn to the person who stole my Sembonia shoes a few weeks ago!). I killed 2 birds with one stone - I released my stress and contributed to Singapore's economy at the same time! So pandai eh? What a good excuse to shop.

I still have to work tomorrow from hotel and I hope the war that I am going to attend on Monday morning will be the last one...I really want to go back to KL and subsequently go back to Penang next weekend. It's been 4 months since I last gone back for the election... I miss my Penang!!!

Vision of You

My favourite song of all time - a classic! Let's sing along!

Belinda Carlisle - Vision of You



Time moves a summer wind
I can see your face again
Was it such a tragedy
Being you ... being me ?

Smoke clears, the pictures fades
But I stay back in yesterday
All the strangers come and go
All of them will never know ...

Nobody's touch feels like your touch
Nobody gets to me that much
Nobodys kiss moves me inside
And I have nowhere left to hide
Tell me what can I do ?
I have a vision of you
Tell me what can I do
With this vision of you

Did I walk ? did you run ?
Whats the way to love someone ?
Oh my darling did we know
What it meant when we let go

How can a candle ever burn so bright ?
Casting a shadow on my life
I am blinded by your light
Even without you

You and Me

I hope this link in YouTube would always work. Just to share this song You and Me by LifeHouse, love it!


What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

'Cause it's you and me
and all of the people
with nothing to do
Nothing to lose

And it's you and me
and all other people
And I don't know why,
I can't keep my eyes off of you

One of the things that I want to say
just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

'Cause it's you and me
and all of the people
with nothing to do
Nothing to prove

And it's you and me
and all other people
And I don't know why,
I can't keep my eyes off of you

There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right

'Cause it's you and me
and all of the people
with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me
and all other people
And I don't know why,
I can't keep my eyes off of

you and me
and all other people
with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me
and all other people
And I don't know why,
I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
