a snippet of thought


too often we forget
we are only human
fragile and weak

R.I.P.

i never did watch too many of your movies. in fact, i only remember 2. the first of which you were a female avenger, along with michelle yeoh and maggie cheung
in the 2nd, you were a dancer. i dont even remember your partner. i have never heard any of your songs before and much less watched any of the commercials you were in

so why now, now that you have left us all, i feel a pang of sadness?

there is also a legolas one somewhere. looks pretty nice!

simply beautiful.

When the cold of winter comes

Starless nights will cover day

In the veiling of the sun

We will walk in bitter rain



But in dream

I can hear your name

And in dreams

We will meet again



When the seas and mountains fall

And we come to end of days

In the dark I hear your call

Calling me there

I will go there

And back again

i found it.

i found the long lost blog of mr. D. ive been looking for it since he moved it early this year. by sheer luck i found it. but he's changed. his style of writing completely different from what he left off before. his writing not as silky, not as mesmerizing.

i know im in no position to comment, but i really miss his old writings.

He. Incomplete.

it's gotten alot quieter up here. no doubt, i get alot of visits from my many children. they talk to me once in a while, ask me for things. the more filial of the lot, they sing to me once a week and tickle the rough sole of my feet. but there's always a reason for their coming. its either that they fear for their lives or that they want their children to be King.

of course, it is within my ability to grant the latter request, for i am old and will one day retire. however, the problem, as you can see, is that i have so many of them. children, i mean. sons i have many, and daughters even more. in fact, they've gotten so numerous that i no longer bother to name them. leave the naming to the mothers, i say.

unfortunately, while some of their parents are well-read and knowledgeable, others aren't. sarah, joseph and (bless) mary are the sort of names that i appreciate. lovely names, those are. can't say the same for other names out there though.

note: oops. ran out of steam. sorries.

look there, to your right. yes, there.

the tired buildings stand like ancient warriors, their trusty swords rusty and armour flaking. once white tiles overgrown with a myriad of mosses and ferns. grey. grey is the cement that peeks out timidly from the crack of tiles. the shutters they sing an ode to the glorious times passed, before mildew and damp fought a victorious battle.

home

the sights and sounds of taiwan, so familiar yet so foreign.
i smell the winter's cold as it dashes by, taste the spicy, greasy air of the night markets, the pungent exhaust, heavy with lead. i see the sounds, they are so vivid. the manic honking, the splatter of rain onto galvanized roofs. i feel the sights - them i grew up with, in a period of time so long yet so short.

inferiority complex getting you down?

wanna be cookie-cutter perfect?
then invest in a pair of Perfecto (TM) Implants
it comes with a lifetime guarantee (when you die, it expires)
and will not decompose!

i repeat, will not decompose!

so what are you waiting for?
get them today!

Perfecto (TM) Implants are made from only the best silicone - the choice material for teething toys and computer chips! Materials used are all natural, derived from organic sea sand.

LOTR!

if you've not got your hands on the LOTR soundtracks yet, get them today! its so beautiful, especially the theme song by enya. i think soundtracks have a huge role to play in all movies. try watching a movie without the background music - without it there is no atmosphere, no ambience. horrid, really. the sad wouldnt be so sad, and frightening not so frightening. this is especially so for LOTR. oh boy i cried BUCKETS during the last installment. my eyes (eyebags?? hehe) were totally swollen and my face puffy. it was Titanic in terms of the boohoo. (but better, i say!)

and i so love all the names of the characters and places in the story. the words just roll of the tongue so smoothly, like the best wine. i especially love minas tirith, isengard, pippin! (the p sounds!), aragorn, arwen, boromir. oh boyy. heheh. literary heaven, this is!

oH WOW!!!!!!

my archives are BACK!!!!! ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!! =D hehehe whooopeeedoooo!

new year resolutions in the planning.

with the year drawing to a close, it is almost time once again for the annual New Year Resolutions. now, i can hardly remember what my resolutions were the previous year, but still, that's not going to stop me from making new ones. this time round, i will not be solely posting it up on the blog, but instead, i'll paste it up on the wall too. works better, they say.

oh no..

qin yang's in the hospital now cuz he is overworked... awww poor thing! get well soon!!

love is in the air!

oh my god, my friends are starting to get MARRIED. tour mate aaron john graham is getting married to his girlfriend come january 10th 2004. this is amazing!! and it was just oh, 2 years ago that he was a roaring single (one that loves the camera too) hehe. so, CONGRATULATIONS dude! =) so happy for ya!

oh, and by the way

yes, i have finally caught LOTR III, and oh boy its hella sad. for those who have yet to catch it, do it now! and i mean, NOW!!!

finally, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Attention, All

check out this guy, Gu Han Ju (not sure about the spelling tho) from TVBS Asia's The 7th Grade. I'd like to mention that 7th Grade here doesn't refer to 13 year olds, so yeah. anyways, i thought this guy has attitude.. and is kinda cute in his own, hairless rite. hehehehehehe... *swoon* I'll be in front of the tv between 9 and 10 pm every weeknight, so you'll know when to find me =)

You're Most Like The Season Summer ...

Whoa.... Passionate eh ?? Typically you're a fiery,
zesty dominant person. As the hottest season,
you certainly ooze Sex appeal. You have
confidence which draws people to you, and you
have the makings of a good leader.
However sometimes your exterior is stronger then
you are and so you scare people off before they
can get close.

Well done... You're the most memorable of seasons
:)

The type of ex I am is:

I sadistically lead my ex to believe I still care, just to make myself feel desirable. Fear me.

what type of ex are you? | mewing.net. 'EX'cellent. HA.

now you know.

Bondage movie! You're into BSDM (Bondage &
Discipline, Dominance & Submission) and chances
are, you're fond of whips, chains, harnesses,
and tight leather outfits. You like to mix a
little pain with a LOT of pleasure, baby!

i thank you for your benevolence geocities.

stingy geocities is still on strike. is outlinking from MY OWN SITE such a crime? anyways, here's the url if you want to see the darling doggie and i on christmas day, 2002.

morbidity

while checking out the uni sites (once again) i stumbled upon this page. animal science, it said. on it were graphics of happy pigs and cows waving their pink little porky trotters and checkered hooves (depending on which animal it is doing the waving). just right below was the course outline.

sheep and goat production, poultry production, beef production, swine production. topics on physiology of meat animals. and so on and so forth.

sigh. those poor deluded animals. if that isnt the greatest irony i dont know what that is.

You

last night i had a dream
i dreamt of a happy dog

she wagged her tail,
begged for hugs

her eyes, they were so bright
so hopeful

i played with her
caressed her
snuggled against her warm body

i dont quite remember
the details of the dream

but i know it was you
you came back to bid me goodbye

perhaps it was only a figment of my imagination
but the tears that run down my cheeks now
they are real

i miss you already.

Rest in Peace.

I Am Dressed

i lie
swathed in secrets

the threads i weave
they shelter me, catch me when i fall

truth
its all in the mind

so why strip me
of my glory
of my clothes

ripping weak cloth
with hard hands
to see me

bare
cold
naked

when you really needed
to just
imagine

and it would seem as real.

too soon. too little.

its 2:45 am in the morning and i am still up. the long arms of fatigue have yet to embrace me, but im sure they'll be here in no time. ive been blog surfing and so many people i know are right now up to their neck (necks?) in college applications.

it wont be too soon before i have to fill in my application form. as a matter of fact, the event's a mere month away. much too soon. i cant believe, what with 14 years of education in my pocket, this is the most important moment of all. the most important moment of all and i am afraid to fill in the words.

our generation knows too much. perhaps it helps us make more informed choices and better decisions but somewhere along our journey to greater knowledge we lose our intuition and direction. we are distracted by the constant voices of our parents, the media and other people telling us what we wish to do in the future isnt monetarily feasible, is too tough, not respectable enough.

i dont know what the future holds for me, to borrow a tired cliche. but i hope when i fill in that form i will be taking the first step towards the sort of career that, after 40 years at it, i can look back and say, well, its what i wanted to do, afterall.

Which Lord of the Rings character and personality problem are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

something i jacked off sharon's bloggie hee. this quiz is so wrong. the only answer that i clicked that had any relation with myself being a personal hygiene freak (aka vainpot) is that i associated myself with a foaming bar of soap. that's all. so did they take into account my other answers? NOOOoooo.

Jesus and the Giant Tinned Peaches

its just as well that when the Celestral Goddess up in the Orient Heavens came down to Earth for a visit, she brought along her infamous Giant Peaches as a Gift for Jesus.

its just as well that when Jesus packed up his luggage and went to Heaven, he left his Giant Peaches behind.

its just as well too, that when Industrial Revolution came along, the Giant Peaches were Tinned.

because, I, right now, am Enjoying Them.

such is the benevolence that Jesus has bestowed upon Mankind.

upon me, especially because I ate the Peaches.

the best is yet to be

does it follow that 'the best will NEVER be'? just a thought.

random ruminations

if the presence of love gives life to words,
and sexual gratification creativity,
then, with the absence of both,
nought.

santa clause. no, santa claws. no, santa claus.

so ugly

its thur thur thursday

what's special about thursday? nothing really, except that its two more days till SATS! oh boy oh boy.

yet, instead of cramming for SATS, i watched a whole afternoon of tv. not that id recommend it to anyone as test prep of course. although i learnt nuts about how to do complicated (well, tricky) math problems and complex analogies, i learnt more about myself! it just so happened that i watched this horoscope show, in which they touched on nasty bosses and management people.

aquarians, they say, dont make good management figures. and that's because they are extremely fickle and love changing their minds. so, the key to a successful working relationship with aquarians is to do something real slow. because then you wouldnt spend a hell lot of time doing something and having us aquarians thwart all your efforts by saying 'OH WOW, IVE GOT ANOTHER BETTER IDEA!!!!'

which is, i must say, an ENTIRELY ACCURATE OBSERVATION!! its quite obvious in this blog too. like you'd see me gush about something in one post and the next go, 'uhh well, that didnt work out / ive change my mind'. ah, typical typical me. so, since we're along that line of thought anyway, i shall announce that i did NOT turn up for the BK interview afterall. simply because 1)pay was too low 2)i figured i didnt like serving people in that manner.

there you go. oh, and i bought a new wallet. its whitish purple. i know what you all are thinking.. PURPLE? yeah well i think im a closet purple fan. i know i keep saying that black's my favorite color (and yeah, it is! .. i think) but somehow whatever of anything i get always seems to be purple. hmm.

okay i gotta go - brother's pestering me to have a game of basketball with him =)

(insert title)

remember warren? we've not been able to contact each other save the 'personalized' notes, thanks to the bling bling involved. and today when i logged in his pic has been taken off the site cuz apparently he tried to include his contact details in the introduction section. yup. draw your own conclusions please, cuz this seems to be it. the end, i mean.

well, got more of those meetme thingies. its amazing how many people visit that site!! absolutely mindboggling. just imagine, the consumer base if you're trying to sell something online. woahhh.

hmm cant write much today cuz its about 2 am and im hella sleepy. comp is going to crash any day too, so im savoring the last moments.

oh yeah, in reply to robbie's blog. hey, i totally agree with you on coming in second place! in fact, i think 2nd place is the best placing of all! you are relieved of the pressures of being first place (overly high expectations, jealousy etc.) and yet you enjoy the benefits of being right up there, in terms of opporunities and all. its like the bachelorette! now she's got HER man of her dreams and all because she came in second place! hehe. simply fabulous innit?

IPU

check out this site (www). its the newest atheist site in the neighborhood, and they've come up with a new logo, available in both white and black. it doesnt matter which you download (i myself have downloaded both) because we all know that the color of the logo is superficial. the Invisible Pink Unicorn (Blessed Be Her Holy Hooves) is - as the name suggests - pink.

am i atheist?

am i? am i? not blasphemy, i hope. but i do have my own theories. drop by good old brent's blog someday. just a little warning for those very religious christians/ catholics - i suggest you keep out. no use trying to write brent lil hate notes and such cuz he wouldnt give a **** about it. =)

brent RULES!

job-hunting...

while flipping through the RECRUIT section of the paper, i felt for the first time what it must feel to be unemployed and desperately looking for a job. i say desperately because while i currently face no monetary problems (though i could do with a 'raise') 3 weeks of absolute boredom is turning my brain into muck. stayng home all day just kills me. i know i have SATS to deal with but i also need something ELSE to do other than follow the footsteps of the 'spinelli scholar' -> vile guy if you ask me.

well, (im getting to the point, thanks) saw a tiny piece of ad looking for a talent scout. oh, so THAT"S how they find people to scour the city area for model-material. well it does not do my confidence any good to know that talent scouts are just PICKED OFF THE RECRUIT SECTION? yikes. some quality control.

moving on. spinelli scholar indeed. yesterday's paper did a 4 page coverage on the 'triangle region' of town. boy did they interview an entire range of people. all from international schools, with filthy rich parents. well excuse me. they dont seem like the 'regular' crowd if you ask me.

okay okay im done with whatever i have to say.. night peeps!

a match!

okay okay to appease certain people, ive finally signed up for hototnot. (i.e. placed myself up for pork-grading)
well, basically, it isnt too bad. its nice to know while SOME people voted between 1-3 (totally frigid) OTHERS (happily) voted 7-10. haha its amazing that anyone would rate me a 9 or 10 but there you go!

wuts more.. ive got a double match! this happens when the other side expresses a desire to meet you and you reciprocate. hehheh. interesting hey! here's the match-o-fella..

the countdown to SATS

5 days and the clock is ticking. i better start studying...

jobhunting was, to say the least, tiring. but not without fun -> interview due tomorrow at BK! oh my gosh!! hehehe nerve-wrecking!

oh, the the goethe-institut can be likened to a haunted house... argggghhh
