20100825: Something for the Pain

Wanted to write something about PEIN.
"Itami wo Kanjirou" - Feel the pain
"Itami wo Kangaerou" - Ponder the pain (the real Pein will not use contemplate)
"Itami wo Uketore" - Embrace the pain (the real Pein will not just use accept)
"Itami wo Shire" - Know the pain

From there I went in search of a pain song I used to listen to:
Bon Jovi's "Something for the Pain", then I saw "Someday I'll be Saturday Night"; one of my favourite songs of all time. Hmmm, think i'll include it in my marathon mix.
Hey hey hey. . . then I watched "These Days" on youtube.
Not sure what it is, I guess I'm having one of those moments. . .
"Ain't nobody left but us these days."

20100811: This Letter

Wrote something during a Wait time of 20 minutes.

Dear R,
It's been quite a mad season of busyness for the past couple of years, to come to an end like this what could you request more of yourself? Did you reach for the sky and steal the moon?
If you had, it must be set quite easily.
What would you do to the rest your life? or another lifetime which ever comes first?
Is it already Xmas in August? Why do I see Xmas trees at Orchard? Strange season it may seems to have a pair of deer antler stuck on people's skull.
Now for the nextoff days of becoming, Do 10 things for the next 10 terms? Or until you get another zeroing like M meekly tweeted. Just for the kick of it and challenge vs needs.
So how fast can you deal?
Fast, Far, Fun & another bunches of "F"s.

HAH... this letter will self-destruct in 8 minutes.
Hold it, someone you know just sneaked by with a greeting.
Another 6 minutes of being bored perhaps.

"Kono tegami wo yondara sugu ni sutete hoshii"

BOOOMMMM

20100731: Mud Art

Sailed back home to attend something sad.
Weather of Kuching the day after,
Basking hot in the morning,
Heavy dog gone rain in the afternoon.
A short pause about 3 hours in between,
Sound of solitude in the refreshened air,
Atmosphere seems stunned by few rainless days,
I was muddling through the garden spade in hand,
when I realised I might have created my first oil painting today.

20100722: Quote from Resuree

"Your mind, body & soul gotta be doing something meaningful (specifics like listen to music, etc), else all the sh1t (fatigue, emotional outburst) will come out beyond control."
Experienced & realised this from events & observation during on-going simulation.
Now is the chance to be more specific I guess.

20100709: Silvering Days

Overheard on a bus, conversation between 2 silver hair people. From their attire, they are still contributing to the workforce. On the queue same as me, 2 buses came, they boarded the crowded one and was commenting about no place to sit, & how should have taken the other one. Old people tends to speak carefreely in company of their own like a coffee shop. One way to look at it, maybe he was thinking of the comfort for his buddy. As they continue to talk, some young girls sitting nearest offered them seats, but they declined. This hold true for the theory of refused to be "Reserved Seat"-ed. So they were continuing on that still have people offering seat on the bus, in the train XXX lo, they are the one who are giving up seat for people who really needed it. Only seat down when necessary, some people pretend to sleep, some hold up the paper high-high, some treat as invisible & also the price of bus ticket has increased since 4-July.

From what I see, as the population continue to "grey" & "silver" and current statistics of less children popping out, it just can't be help. When they are young, they think they can give up the seats & finally when they are old, they still have to give up their sitting comfort.

As I looked out, I saw a double rainbow, similar the one at Kuching the other day, minus the orange sky though. July = Rainbow month? I wondered: Where is the silver lining in the cloud? And is there really a pot of GOLD waiting at the end of the rainbow?

20100704: What Can be Done in 360 seconds

6 MINUTES: that's the waiting time if you arrived late a second at the plateform courtesy of some ignorant stair blocking human and the train just shuts in your face & pulled off.

1) Walk from one end to another of the platform, slowly to catch the wind if any is blowing.
2) Write a blog entry such as this.
3) Count the trees, good for your eyes as watching too much screen is bad. Alternatively you may count the foreign workers having a picnic on the lawn field.
4) Look for birdsnest on the mrt roofing.
5) Read the rail track information.
6) Secretly scratches scr0tnm.
7) or just sit the fk down and listen to one and a half songs on your iPod.

20100626: Thieves in the Temple

It's World Cup season & I've been staying up late and sleeping up late. In the middle of the night, I have to watch everything I do. I have to do carefully & quietly as delicate as possible; like thieves in a temple, as quiet as can be. This is to prevent from disturbing my surrounding people.

Walk more softly like creeping soft-footed ballet,
Spoke like having sore throat, then your friend give you a weird look.
Use of sign language & eye contact,
Not let things fall on floor or even touch the floor,
Not flushing the toilet to reduce water flowing sound down below,
When drinking the cup put down slowly,
Not turning on the light in case people want to come complain they see no people,
Turning the key more slowly to reduce clicking sound when going out for pass midnight supper,
Closing the rusty door softly.
Turn on/ off the light softly.
Cannot take out my chips from plastic bag & open like normally,
Totally chatting/congratulating your friend on the phone is a NO NO.
Need to soft-type on the computer. D4mn ! ! !

Anyway, one thing icantelyu straiaway that people are mad world cup season, even those not watching it.
Understandable for those watching ones. We can see coffee shop with local & many foreign workers alike standing sitting squatting or stretching their neck to catch a free glimpse of the play. People shouting "GOALL" due to cannot see properly from far away & the smiling bystanderonlooker correcting the situation information.
I was quite surprise to see baby still awake at midnight & their overactive siblings disturbing the baby chair. I wonder if they will grow up to be a football star, or just a nerd with deep eyes problem from all the TV watching. (Eye is a good industry here too... hmmm.)

Anyway, it is better to shout with the mob then doing thieves in the temple at your own home.

Tsk tsk tsk . . .

Revision (20100710):
Saw a heart warming pair of father and son amongst the football watching crowd. They were sitting side by side on stool at the lawn outside coffee shop. Eyes glued to the screen. This pair of Chinese new immigrant father and son is soaking in the Sg World Cup culture. Sort of something to pass down from generation to generation. :-)

20100624: Boot Licking

I learnt this new term over-hearding some young junior high kids. I know apple-polishing, & sesame grinding. But boot licking? Hmmm... reminds me of U2 Get On Your Boots, Puss in Boots.
Nowadays, not many people wearing boots, as compare to people eating apple (Is it a generation gap thingy?). So, I come to conclude that this is quite an "opiang" term taught by their opiang boot-wearing teacher.
Next time, if want to get flattered or feel like a million bucks, please wear boots. I have a few pairs of boots which I only wore for gardening or during raining days which seems like going to flood.
The only thing that would lick them would be my lab, but everytime I imagine I would say "Shoo dog, smelly, poison."
Well, it's still pretty hard to imagine boot licking in my dictionary. I wonder how they came to term this, imagine your boss saying: "Come... Lick my boots." "Boss, you're wearing air jordan today wo. How about if I polish your apple." "Darn, those boots are uncomfy compare my AJ1. Ok la, give me the apple good for my health I'll give you more increment if we survive this financial year." "Sure bos, anything you say bos, I polish this apple with enzyme so all the chemical wax is gone. That's how we do it at home."
Hmmm, I think those apple we buy is necessary to polish if we want to eat the nutricious skin.

So, apple polishing might turn out to be a good sport.

There's no boots to lick nowadays anyway... ;-)

Might be due to all the yellow anti-slip safety boot Phua Chu Kang. Could they be associate with that? PCK private boot licking limited?

Speaking about apple, Steve Jobs probably would recommend you to polish his Apple Iphone as if your life depended on it.

20100622: Quote from Resuree

"I do not want to hear n466ing when I go back".

When family is near, without my Ipod to my ear, that's what I hear.
Sounds familiar like a white lie on Saturday,
Seems I long forgotten the gentle "sweetness" creeping up my ear.

Ther' is no defence against this, like tears on Tuesday.
The meaning when you're born you start to think about the beautify words.
Speechlessly as I hear, like waves to the shore.

What is it trying to convey to you? Whistles . . . to that day. Until Now. . .

20100607: All That You Can't Leave Behind

Mixed emotion flow on Monday . . . for no reason. The weather this morning is as unpredictable as can be; what's certain is: "It's a good morning for sleep zzz."
Same as Saturday, I could sleep for hours on this morning which feels like a day after storm in a long vacation... cuddle up in bed like a chipmunk in winter.
W A I T UP!!! it's Monday, I could not do like a weekend. #$%^&* !!!Woke up ate breakfast and head off for work; following that day to day routine & timing. Heck, I could be a robot. except for the 24 hours thingy.
A seemingly serene monday on the working front; will knock off early to catch a movie (catch a Nightmare is more like it).
Seems I can leave it behind for now [ to do that, you'll have to be ahead a few layer ;-) ]. Chow.... baby.
Song from U2 "Walk On"
"Leave it behind
You gotta leave it behind
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you steal
All this you can leave behind
All that you reason
All that you sense
All that you speak
All you dress up
All that you scheme
You gotta leave it behind"

20100524: I Remembered Like It Was Yesterday

Couldn't believe what happened this morning, a drop of bird 'droppingz" flew like a b o m & landed on my bed while I was just a few feet away. It needle-eye-ed through the window grill, my towel, my hanger and unstoppably shot like an arrow to its target.

I seems to recall similar incident happened about 15 years ago when I was in Kuching.

The difference is, now I stayed on the top floor in Singapore, flocks of mocking? birds flew by every morning, afternoon & night,

I guess this is "D" day they decided to practise their aim. @#$%^&*.

Well... no matter, there's good SUN these few days & I already washed the "thang" off quickly.

I wondered if those birds fancy the cloths we hung out as target practice bull's eye? Leave the bird brains for the birds. :-)

This motivated me to buy Jackpot, but my number didn't "kena" today's draw.

Like Robin Hood Senior said "They rise and rised again, until lambs become lions. . . Never give up. LOL.

20100505: Green Zoning

Staring from the greens, I took my coffee in the morning cold.
As I gaze out across the field, the misty air in front of me.
Slowly... the sun would rise, the yellow ray broke thru the white.
At the early dawn, not a human in sight, I can only hear my own delight.
Without reasoning or insanity, the sound of silence can never appear.
Just whisper... gentle on my left ear, it's time to awake from the warmth of bed.

20100326: Short End Thursdayz

Thursdays are like short of something. There's nothing much in between. People seldom sing about Thursday. & when they do, it's not so syok.
"Thursday ain't being kind, somehow i'd survived."
"Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue"
On this thursday morning, I found out it's how denial is best done on Thursday when the week is almost over.
