Tomorrow

Tomorrow,

I turn my back against the world,

Ignorance, indulgence, you have no root in me,

Distractions, temptation, be cast into the sea!

Tomorrow,

I shall no longer conform to the world,

Old ways of living, I rebuke you!

Arise and shine! For that is God's divine will.

Tomorrow,

I'll wake up a new person.

I will be strong in the Lord, faithful to men.

High up I shall soar, with the Holy Spirit I will reign!

In Jesus' name, Amen!

Hold or Roll

Rocks hold firm while water's might

Sends pebbles rolling left and right.

Call pebbles rock? Set firm their goal?

First flash flood, still pebbles roll.

Not name, nor goal divide the two.

It's how they act. It's what they do.

Size dictates to stone, but you're in control.

Are you rock or pebble? Will you hold or roll?

Rhymes for the Land

Free Fallin

If it wasn't for the urgency of things,

If there wasn't that heavy demand to rush through everything with you,

I would take things slow, as if time doesn't matter,

and get to know every bit of you, you're past present and plans of tomorrow,

just to let time pass us by, and indulge in our intimacy

*&#@!$%!!!

Time

Time, is independent, intangible.

As if a wild stallion, it is uncontrollable.

Time, bears the fruit of results,

The same way, results are seen through time.

Time despite the level of contentment,

creates histories that are unchangeable.

Time, is neither sensitive nor cold-blooded,

It just isn't its nature to even bother.

People since then have wished to have dominance over it.

Why, would it be too much to wish so too?

If and only if it was true,

that time was for a price,

Would you then make an offer?

Chinese New Year

It ain't about spring cleaning ,

It ain't about red color ,

It ain't about the food that makes your tummy wider.

It ain't about tradition,

It ain't about culture,

It ain't about tigers that suddenly became popular.

It ain't about ang pows,

It ain't about visitation,

It ain't about the wishes that everybody mention.

It ain't about tangerines,

It ain't about bak gua,

It ain't about the text messages that you didn't reply, "la"!

(sorry if i did not reply you XD)

Of course,

It ain't about valentines,

It ain't about dates,

It ain't about making sure your partner's not late.

Its Chinese New Year everybody, to me,

the true joy of prosperity and culture and food comes when your enjoying this festive season with your family :)

Be happy everybody, and have a Happy Chinese New Year! Roar!

He took the bread, broke it and gave thanks

People see money as the essential of being,
Of which someone here is seriously lacking.
If it really was the essence to a human being,
then "someone" would most probably be half-dying :p

There's too much to care about besides my bank balance,
Exams, church, events and also assignments,
"Don't worry of what you shall eat" says Jesus,
thanks to Him i find plain bread delicious :D

Yep! my favorite dish for the moment is bread,
Plain white along with some chocolate spread,
Breakfast, lunch and also dinner,
Sometimes tea and sometimes supper :)

In debt i really am in terms of borrowing,
So much so that i owe the burger uncle syilings.
He says pay tomorrow for the two,
sorry uncle, but i just wanna say thank you :)

Don't worry about my current situation,
and don't offer me biscuits for any reason,
For i believe in food multiplication,
And also some any party invitation. XD

Thank You Jesus for everything,
for i do not believe in what i see but what i believe in,
Trusting i am with my titles and offerings,
for abundance in food, chocolate and every other blessing :)

a saturday poem

It may be an adrenaline competition out there,
but to be in a room of serenity and peace,
where no worries are needed to be cast on anything,
and when all you have to do is, lay down.

To wake up in the morning without the urgency of an alarm,
Knowing there's nothing to feel guilty for,
closing my eyes and rest my awaken mind once more,
ah what a feeling :)

The tree leaves waving outside my window,
rustles gently,
with no rush at all for their nature of growing,
why can't everything be as peaceful as this :)

I drag a slot of piano pieces into the media player,
from that second onwards,
the room lost its rigidity and everything seems so light and happy,
A smile ran out of my lips :)

Its a nice feeling isn't it?
to see things in slow motion, as if everything slows down by a second or two,
don't be mislead by the slow motion of action movies,
but be mesmerized by the wonderful art of stagnant.

Let the musical notes wraps my heart,
and nature's dancing be my guide,
to appreciate everything there is in a second,
and of what a beautiful Saturday can actually mean :)

Rediscovering Cameron Highlands ll

Two intimate figures,
Sharing the fond for the same weather;
Embraced by two cotton blue sweaters,
that they have both bought together,

With hands held tight under the mellow dim light,
both hearts reunite lovingly on Cameron;
With your beautiful eyes kept in my secured sight,
Strawberries and tea leaves becomes irrelevant,


<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3>

I laughed at myself after reading what i wrote above. cheesy i know! XD but i can't help to feel that the picture just felt like it needs some lines to compliment it. how is it? hehe. Think i'd better stop being a self-defined poet and get back to blogging.

Love on cameron, not really a thing that people would normally find links between. But i thought it would be just fine. Anyway, on that night after dinner and car cruising between the two towns, we were ready to head back for some sleep. But just before reaching, we had a detour towards the hospital, just to check out how it looks like at night. Scary huh?

The hospital however, was hauntingly beautiful. It was a state-of-art hospital yet build with the european country styled. The calming vacantness of the place plus the blurry cold mist somehow makes us excited and we got out of the car ready, with the cameras ==

And we start shooting. haha. At first at the mist which made the road looked endless. And then somehow it ended being a potrait shooting lesson XD

Don't worry, the thingy is just mentos wrapper twisted into a cigarette like structure. Who gave the smart idea anyway?? haha.


It was after a while that we realised it was like shooting posters for Mentol or Dunhill that we abandoned the poor little thingy. Bad bad, don't pick up smoking kids!

and gahhh, the noise of my camera. Anyone can tell me how to overcome this? :)

emo

more emo
(still i like this one)

enough of the emooo!!

and let's get funky XD haha

Since its only the 4 of us, everyone had a chance of being the "model" and having 'photographerS' snap at you like some kinda superstar :D

cool post :)

and the mushy mushy

Without noticing, we spend 2 hours beside the hospital, and guess what, it was way pass midnight when all around you were just mist and darkness. *sound of old church clock strikes... spooky? *evil laughs... hahahaha. lame ==

other random photos that night:

A hotel by the road sight with remarkable lights on trees. we stopped the car immediately but when the tripod was ready..

the effing shut the lights already! ==

Speechless ! :D

Next, the Waterfall

Since its Cameron Highlands, there are bound to be waterfalls because, water falls, from above, so there must be a waterfall, where water falls. arrgfdjsdmsa#%$&@

Yea i know it isn't a good photo by me but hey! that does not deny the real beauty of nature. My inabilities are incomparable to the wonders of mothernature :)

Cute little monsters models just being themselves :)

Tripod tutorials S-S

The Master in action, thank you once again Sifu

Signing off from the waterfalls, where water, falls, from above. LOL

okok . See ya soon :)

Exhaustion Thereom

Maybe exhaustion was just an ideology

an ideology of the lack of energy

Or a force you pick up from other tiring people
who looks partially dead and dreadful
They might influence you to think the same
that you're out of strength and giving in

Maybe i was influenced,
by both ideology and people,

or maybe, i'm just too tired.

it'll be great, i believe!

A Straw Berry

Pressure is external,
Money is temporal,
Greed is evil,
Doesn't any invovle you?
Let the world around crushes itself in chaos.

and yet a strawberry,
laying around all these,
being bold not to hide its seed,
but to show everyone that,
extrenally things may get dark and wrinkled,
the sweet surrender inside, pacefully matures.

A Poem For Colours

Maroon orange, lemon tea,

thats how my bed colours' should be,
Then came purple, mysterious as can be,
complimenting the yellows of my coloured bed sea.

Stranger in strips, a note in hand, laying upon my comfort land,
A press on the shuttle, a life for this picture,


There you have it, a blend of colour =)

Back

went to school straight after returning.
half-excited half-anxious.
There's sometimes when you feel,
like either black or white is 100% satisfying.
A yes or no both benefits yet aren't fulfilling.

Sad.

Anti-while's

While final exam inflates pressure to stereotypics,
we played Super Mario and watched Hancock.

While the politicians and its people war over taking over,
we crammed in a room stuffing domino's pizza with filtered water.

While the economics goes so bad that banks are shutting down,
we react bluntly as we're still flipping the first chapter of microeconomics.

While studying is expected of everyone on exam days,
we slept till noon and went to exam venues light-heartedly.

While reading this you might think we screw our exams,
we definitely did the opposite.

Thank You for making my exam days such enjoyable ones.


and for you,


while i thought we were talking again
which makes my insides burst in explosions of joy,

secretly i pinch myself,

so brutally

and yet realise there's no pain,

that i knew it was all a dream

waking up
is the last thing i ever wanted.



Anyhow, glad you're better off without.

God bless.

Rain

I don't wanna be emo,

So i dress myself colourfully.

But still the sky insist to rain,

So i use a rainbow umbrella.

And took a picture,

Just to find out that,

I'm still sad.

Rain

Rain start pouring heavily as i make my way to the next lecture hall, the mickey cartoon on my mini umbrella wasn't that much of a cover for shelter through the route. Thankfully, i left a quarter of myself undamp and started class.

It was never embarrassing to be called by name upon a 500 student lecture hall and secretly, i'm enjoying the attention. Now who doesn't? haha. Took off my shoes and socks as the painful cold was numbing my soak feet. Sympathy was to given to the one's sitting around but i couldn't smell anything myself XP Did anyone ever wonder why people sit in that particular way when they do meditate? As in crossing their legs and laying both hands on it. My guess is it promotes tranquility so that one can focus more. So! why not everyone sit like that on every class just like what i did in front of the ever loving lecturer that has a passion of calling maname :D

Still drizzling with compliments of gentle breeze when i walk out of the hall. Someone beside me in the queue was asking the friend, why is that guy always mention? Was that a prompt of curiosity or a complain? haha.

Choir practice in 2 hours so i drop by the school library for Internet! If i'm not mistaken they have a whole department of librarians here who never seem to get bored of shutting people up. Besides this bunch of responsible people, i pretty much like the library a lot. Internet access, magazine corner with reader digest and newspaper, the 5floors which i yet to explore, and the lift which only "staff" can use.

What is love? ask pinkpau. Love is seeking shelter on a cold rainy day in the library and taking off your wet shoes to find warm in the ironically air-conditioned library basement :)

Tonnes of things ahead of me that i should be doing but currently my brain has just switched to hibernation mode and therefore, i have absolutely no clue of what the word homework, assignment, test and responsibility means.

All i know is, the weather is telling me,

chill, feel the wind...
