if i led you to sin, would anyone praise my leadership qualities?

everyday i pass you by
in the faceless cacophony.
in your eyes a silent betrayal
of a heart in boundless irony.

i ask the trees around me,
i ask anybody who'll listen,
may i love this gentle angel?
may i plunge into the sea of sin?


for you

decided to drop out of ndp03, had enough of reading about quizilla
so i decided to be a quiz junkie this morning
heh. i dont know what i think about them
just the thought of a computer pretending to know me...bah

You are orange. You are emotional. Outside, you are bitter and stubborn, inside you are hopeful, hoping someone will come save you from the bitterness of your own mind. You constantly feel the need to prove yourself, and you look up to those who can make thier dreams happen. You are broken, but not beyond repair like maroon.

What inner color are you?




You are a freeform writer. Individualistic with a
sense for the different and challenging, Walt
Whitman and his poetry lacking meter and rhyme
is just what the doctor ordered. You're quick
to write something that the rest of the world
doesn't accept as poetry, quick to separate
yourself from the average joe. An author with a
true sense of self, you have confidence in your
abilities and aren't afraid to show it. :) GO
YOU!


What's YOUR Writing Style?

YOu see the world in Neutral
Neutral:
Harmony and balance is key. You don't look at the
world in a negative or positive way and you'll
never judge or assume a situation- you just
look at the facts. People like you are peaceful
and accepting.


What color do you see the world in?

i must admit i am weak

its not that i dont feel ashamed at crawling back to the comfort of bluepants after just one day of water-fire-curry proof textiles
neither am i proud that my blog is still business as usual after i publicly lamented the need to kill it
i could bare all my worms and zits right here, right now
BUT [you see! i cant even stop buting!] being the sponge-for-determination kind of person
i shudder at the thought of people pointing fingers saying "look, he's decaying from the core"
like they always do on television.

so there, i am trying after all. you may stop sniggering now

don mclean's vincent

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colours on the snowy linen land

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds and violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colours changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artists' loving hand

For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

starry, starry night
portraits hung in empty halls
frameless heads on nameless walls
with eyes that watch the world and can't forget

Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
and how you suffered for your sanity
how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They're not listening still
Perhaps they never will

thank god for coincidences"

for a while i told myself tt
i should i would i could i must
stop dis dirty habit
"bloggin is SO last century", i said
which i have to concede, is, to appease my oft contradictory self
or i could plead temporary insanity?

for a while i told myself tt
i should i would i could i must
kill dis blog
snatch it frm the womb
be e hand that rocks e cradle [felt wretched after watchin]
be the kinda guy who pushes
when the door screams in bright underlined bold red caps "PULL"

for a while i told myself tt
i should i would i could i must
move into my class blog
in e name of society

dare i?
since i dun haf 2 separate thoughts for 2 separate blogs
n i'd like to tink myself too original to duplicate entries

dis matter reeks of a popiah folded by an overzealous first timer

why oh why cant dis ting haf chinese words?
wanted to post e lyrics of leslie cheung's -zhui-. its a nice song. e soundtrack of she's a man he's a woman or sth. ah e sweet smell of crushed talent
i hate technology

dylan thomas : and death shall have no dominion

And death shall have no dominion.
Dead men naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.

And death shall have no dominion.
Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
Faith in their hands shall snap in two,
And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up they shan't crack;
And death shall have no dominion.

And death shall have no dominion.
No more may gulls cry at their ears
Or waves break loud on the seashores;
Where blew a flower may a flower no more
Lift its head to the blows of the rain;
Through they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.

summer holiday : cliff richard
We're all goin' on a summer holiday.
No more workin' for a week or two.
Fun and laughter on our summer holiday.
No more worries for me or you,
For a week or two.

We're goin' where the sun shines brightly.
We're goin' where the sea is blue.
We've seen it in the movies.
Now let's see if it's true.

Everybody has a summer holiday.
Doin' things they always wanted to.
So we're goin' on a summer holiday
To make our dreams come true,
For me and you.


ladida. general feelin for e past week is hazy. as in foggy. as in cloudy. as in vague. as in fuzzy. as in i dunno wad.
