Farewell...

I'll miss you.
But I won't know what to say,
when I have to say goodbye.

Peace be upon us...

We have so much to learn about each other because there is so much that we don't know about one another. It'd be such a shame not to try harder to.

I think there was a line in Sepet that went something like, "he doesnt know me enough to like me. But he's in love with me".

By the same token, I don't think we know each other enough to dislike one another. But it's certainly easy enough to hate each other.

Though I really hope we won't give in to that emotion.

Instead of sowing harmony among the people, some would rather sow disunity. As the little people, we have to try to do more to prevent such seeds, planted by people who lack basic human decency, from growing into an unmanageable field of hatred.

We need to reach out. We also need to look within ourselves to make that effort.

Hopefully those on the other side of the divide will feel the same.

1 more month to go...

Maybe the best places to visit are those that your parents warn you against because "oh they don't like our people there!"

In a months time I return to South East Asia. And the two countries that I seem to want to visit the most are Indonesia and the Philippines, apart from Vietnam to see my brother.

Looking forward to the end of one chapter and the beginning of another, but at the same time gonna miss it a little.

Dreaming beyond one's imagination...

A shining star in a cloudy night's sky,
During the days of yore, of times gone by.
It guided the ships towards their ports,
Explorers, merchants, pirates, and all sorts.

On a privateer, an old sea captain sought,
To steal the star, for it could not be bought.
He reached his body over his vessel's bow,
"I'll take this star, yes! I'll show you how!"

As he fell overboard, his crewmen laughed,
"What a silly ol' fool! He must be daft!"
Trying not to sink, for help he cried,
His crew shouted back, "Yer Neptune's bride!"

Startled, he saw the star upon the sea,
His eyes widened and filled with glee!
He swam over to grab it, reached out with his hands,
Yet all he could grab were handfuls of sand.

For he woke up from lying on a beach in Miami,
The night was still young, the weather still balmy.
As he looked up above, that bright star still shone,
That's when the travellin' dreamer thought he should go home.

Wedding greetings...

As the both of you walk down the aisle,
I could not help but let out a smile.
The blissful journey that lies ahead,
Need not too many words be said.


Except for a short greeting from the heart:
In sickness, in health, till death do you part.

Rude pick up line...

Well if you're a woman, then I'm a man!
I can be your sausage, and you can be my ham!
If you happen to think this rhyme is sick,
Well what did you expect, coming from a prick?

Thesis writing (III)

Seven days and seven nights,
I can see the end in sight!
Without ever leaving the house,
Social life? Can't feel a pulse.

Writing my thesis (II)

Seven nights and seven days,
Don't seem like I have time to bathe.
Lines upon lines of meaningless text,
Writing of which means no time for...

Writing my thesis...

Seven days and seven nights,
Lots of coffee, fewer bites.
Fingers rarely off the keyboard,
Facebooking whenever I feel bored.

If PETA wrote limericks...

The butcher's daughter,
Dragged animals to slaughter.
One was a limp cow,
The other a fat sow,
Though none were as ugly as the girl's mother.
