yet another random poem.

this time an epic one


the ancient ones
emerge and run,
in chaos' full eruption.
an evil band
in every land,
delighting in destruction.

what seems shapless,
formless and faceless
their great one is releasing.
so to enslave
both God and knave,
their sorrows thus increasing.

who is the man
to stay the land
of those he Gods cant better?
and yet a hero yet
takes the bet
to break the evil's fetter.

three lights of hope
to help him cope
one south, in sand and wonder.
one to the east
defeat the beast,
and tear their plan asunder.

the final light
will make the figh
where he must face his fears.
a door agar
he travels far
and yet, finds it near...


enjoy.

anyway today was a damn suay day la.. after phy chem test (which was kinda screwed), me, js, hs, joice, xj and amin went to koufu to eat and do our reports.. than we realised the reports could be handed up on friday =.=

then, pissed off as we were liao, we decided to still hand in the reports today and just get done with it. so we proceded to the photocopying shoppe to photocopy our graphs.

that's where i realised my fucking report has gone missing. it couldn be at the table which we sat on @ koufu cause before leaving i checked if there was anything missing. and there wasnt.

knn than call ong chee ming he dun really believe wad i say. also dun blame him la.. where got student come out with such a lame excuse de. unless it's real, duh.

ok than nvm. go library study awhile than go home.

on the train home there was this two old men behind me talking damn loudly. so okay lor. put on mp3 and hear. than at tiong they wanna alight. cause one of the old men was pushing a trolley with lots of stuff on, i siam-ed lor. give them space to move. but jus nice when i siam than accidently hit onto the other old man. knn than he see me like not happy likedat.

wad i do wrong sia. give space for the trolley to move than u to dao me. might as well dun give a shit about u two old fucks la?!

after u all complain to straits times say youths this days are getting rude again. fuck off man. do this cannot, do that cannot. u might as well go die better la. dun need to get angry with ppl anymore. stupid old men.. ruin my mood.

in the clouds
all is seen
by the eyes
child, divine

in the heavens
all alive
angels sing
breathe the life

in the sky
all is well
earthly sorrows
fade from view

in the clouds
there's a smile
on a face
face of you

it's really hard to be a friend when.....

1) u try to CARE but they dun care about you.
2) u wanna be near them but they keep their distance
3) u talk, but nobody listens
4) u walk in a group but nobody even realises u're there
5) people leave you out in everything
6) u share your secrets with her, but she never shares back
7) in a 4 person conversation, no one talks to u at all
8) u always feel left out
9) u ARE always left out
10)your friends dun feel anything when they're reading this post

ive jus realised that i have not been talking to my parents much lately and i dun really feel comfortable about it.

it's like.. since the start of the holidays ive been going out from morning till night. when i go out, they have gone to work and when i come back they are sound asleep. the only time i get to talk to my mum is this:

*phone rings*
"hello?"

"ben ah.. u coming back for dinner not?"

"erm.. dun think so la.."

"okay take care. God bless."

"kk bye"
*puts down phone*

im getting the feeling that somehow im drifting away from my parents and i don't like it.

wadever it is, they're still family and deserves my time spent so ive made up my mind to try my very best to come back for dinner and stuff the following week.
yupp.. that's about it.
tata

cheers

Mircobio test today. Argh.. had alot of qstns im not too sure if is this or that..
wouldn be surprised if i failed.

it's kinda sucky la. this 2 weeks holiday is more or less a two week self study time. given that the CTs are right after this.

just realised that ive jus went the whole week (fine, the weekdays) with only ten bucks in my wallet. of course, other than the swashing of my atm card for one or two times when eating. to me i can consider it a real good achievement.

saw many things which i COULD have bought this week. considered begging for money on the streets but.....

many ppl base their 1st impressions on purely who's pretty or handsome. to judge someone by their looks and not by their character, some would say it's rather shallow.

which brings me to the proverb "Don't judge a book by it's cover."

But you're not a book!

Let's say you're in a bookstore, looking for a book to read. What are the processes we go by in selection a book?

First is the cover, which can be compared to one's outer-appearance. If this person looks good, I'll go after him, like, duh.

Next is recommendations. Look at the book and sometimes they'll quote some magazine saying how this is "The Best Book EVA!!", or "The coming of the next LOTR", or something along the lines, which is again, very much like real life. You're judged, not on just the "cover", but on how others see you as well. Get good appraisals, and half the battle's won. For example, the shortest way to a girl's heart, is by making friends with her friends so that they can put in a good word for you: as one of my guys put it, "Keep your girlfriend close, keep her friends closer,"

Last is your "category", and how high up you are in it. Know how books have genres? "Sci-fi" lah, "Fantasy" lah, "Erotica" lah, "Chic Lit" lah, and all that? We, as people, are stuck in our own genre as well; the cliques, or people we hang out, and associate with speak volumes about us. And people have their preferred genres too, so watch where you place yourself on the shelf. Go and be a "best-seller", if possible.

So anyways...yeah...you're like a book, in many ways. And that's kinda unfair, no? The way you're judged based on things you can't really control MUCH.

BUT YOU'RE NOT A BOOK!

Open up! Be heard! Screw the cover of a book; I've seen gajillion books with butt-ugly covers (Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone, UK EDITION, BLEGH!), but their contents were amazing. The thing about books is they can't open themselves up, they can't scream out what's inside...BUT YOU CAN!

My point is: Don't be a book. Open up. Be heard.

Your pages speak volume, but unless you force people to read you, nobody's going to give a flying-damn

A single rose, reminding them of,
Their commitment and never ending love.
Of their dreams, and the promises made,
And how their feelings will never fade.
The way he knew, right from the start,
That she was the one, who held the key to his heart.
How he stops at nothing, and goes the extra mile,
For one more chance, to witness her smile.
They pressed the rose, so it would withstand time,
To remind them of, the greatest love they will ever find.

******************************************************
Sitting here alone under the pale moonlight
Wishing upon the stars that I could see you tonight
Wondering what you're doing right at this moment
Not having seen you today was such a torment
A lovely evening like this could've been lovelier
If I could spend it with you even for just a while
Holding your hands and feeling your arms around me
Wishing the moment would last forever
I could never forget that night we danced
I could still feel the closeness we'd had
We were so near that I couldn't stir
You had held me in such a trance.
How I wish I could tell you all these things
But it's just too hard for me to reveal my feelings
As for now I'll just content myself with this...
Dreaming and loving you from afar...
