flying off for a trip to Vietnam. pray that i have a safe journey. Singapore...please..dont miss me so much....to my fiance, take care dear..i'll be back...shit! i have to pack my stuffs...

what the hell?

i'm so frustrated big time...BIG BIG Time on why our own Channel 5 cant show LIVE telecast of the AFF Suzuki Cup between Indonesia and Singapore today?...any valid reason?? its our nation playing, a nail biting match...why the hell can channel 5 show "Beijing Olympics" when sometimes it doesnt even have our athletes competing, why can they anyhow be an Olympics Channel?? why can they telecast the F1, minus the Marina Bay circuit lah, which doesnt have any Singaporean drivers?? why they can show the ever any boring golf tournament LIVE on tv??

Come on, this is our national team playing...our pride...our own Lions..i dont understand why it should be delayed telecast?..."come home to 5?" like real only...

blithe

18. 10. 2008

theres a rainbow growing at the edge of the most cloudy clouds. a level up. power up. planning the next move. sit back and relax. i saw Dewi smiling. her eyes filled with joy. finally.

farewell

yearbook ends. so is zam and aki. those yearbook days. thanks to them. theyve done alot. they were there. those days when dewi was away. u guys keep the cool. those bunga ingkar, those dangdut, lina geboy, facebook, kop, gunners, artery, scarfs, simpang bedok, and not to forget "baikk".

as for me, for now im not sure whats happening, theres still a great china wall infront and an unbalanced tight rope walk for me to go through. did i put any effort? or simply ignorance? whats happening. i simply dont know who to go to when turmoil strikes. north south east west poles? i want to continue but i hope for the best of you. i'll try my best to do what it takes just to save the seaweed from being deeper into the sea of confusion. just take me as your life jacket and dont forget where you stand.

only mew can reflect things going in my mind.

go and belt it out:

I don't feel alright
In spite of these comforting sounds
You make
I don't feel alright
Because you make promises
That you break
Into your house
Why don't we share our solitude?
Nothing is pure anymore but solitude
It's hard to make sense
Feels as if I'm sensing you
Through a lens
If someone else comes
I'll just sit here listening to the drums
Previously I never called it solitude
And probably you know
All the dirty shows I've put on
Blunted and exhausted like anyone
Honestly I tried to avoid it
Honestly
Back when we were kids
We would always know when to stop
And now all the good kids are
Messing up
Nobody has gained or
Accomplished anything

Now when you work it out I'm worse than you
Yeah when you work it out, I want it too
Now when you work out where to draw the line
Your guess is as good as mine...

Where do we go, nobody knows
Don't ever say you're on your way down, when..
God gave you style and gave you grace
And put a smile upon your face

relax peace and colourful

Linnea Jönsson again and again

Slow down, please, slow down
I need to find peace anywhere in me
I feel like I'm under water, struggling to get air
I feel like I'm lost in this body, trying to get inside my head

I wanna know what im thinking what I'm feelin
What I want my life to be
I wanna know how I plan to make things easier
For everyone but me

Tell me, please, tell me
What to do know, now that I know myself
Do you really think I could relie on this new person I have become
Do you really think I give a damn now that I can do whatever I want

flips away on a walk
without the herds
traffic lights beam the night
four legs plus two legs
singing to the common tunes
standard timing i refuse

mark it with an x
wisely anticipate
27 hours of conversations
28 minutes of interference
highlighting the bar codes
journal grammar bewildered

for same reason
page seven verse seven
i knew it

and oh! as usual...my Linnea Jönsson looks prepossessing.

press play

the guy on the left above beside Bunga Citra Lestari.....HE LOOKS LIKE ME!.........
from behind ar...

OMG! and my friends testified it! at the end of the clip, Bunga actually chooses that guy, i can feel the splatter on my face! this is a huge discovery! Im Syafiq, from Channel News Asia reporting from Tanjong Pagar.

it's a pleasure

yesterday, after so many months. finally gathered. there was everyone, me, luqman,azari,achak,nizam,firdaus,farhan and police-bound budi. break fast at beach road. what a drama when travelling made easy as 3 of them brought along their cars. and most of us has got driving license. its just a funny feeling when 3-4 years back in nafa we were all MRTians.

followed by kampong glam cafe afterwards, and a m eats m scene there. wtf! wats e diff of people smoking inside the eating place and smoking just outside the cafe. i mean its jus merely standing up and move 15 cm to smoke? sometimes rules are totally ridiculous and nonsense. have you ever heard of people driving crashing into trees just because they smoke a lot?

nah, they usually drink. so wats the deal of discriminating smokers? yellow box? hahah..wtf! as if the molecules of the smoke will not travel into the people who are non-smokers. what a lesson to learn.

next meet. probably a hari raya visit. dun forget your shoesss. and please a message to all. "DONT SMOKE OUTSIDE THE YELLOW BOX. AND DONT SMOKE CONTRABAND CIGGIES." a message brought to you by "abang2 fierce of arab street"

Comforting Sounds
By: Mew

bombarded

its dark outside
went to a wrong way
should have brought matches
the slightest
raging fires
not so clear enough for it

its killing me
days months years
should have heed the call
no tuning to another station
zero frequency

high on a trampoline
nothing to balance
fall down dont die
chagrined thoughts of tomorrow
its just another grim day

my own song of the week

this week everything rush2..
last saturday was working from 10 30 am till 5 30 am the next morning.

Olá!

i decidida a postar em português língua, porque acho divertido. a língua é bonito. minha cabeça ainda está em volta. semana bastante OK. enfim eu posso jogar através de lan, jogar counter greve com o meu irmão em casa. finalmente. Sabado fomos para a feira da ladra em Tanglin Mall, comprou alguns t-shirts para 1 dólar. cool direita. voltei de táxi, o tio do táxi disse-nos sua história de passageiros para o dia, como aqueles aunties pensava que sendo um taxista é uma tarefa fácil, mas não a sua. engraçado. éramos seus últimos passageiros por esse dia. hahah. minha namorada tem seus cabelos cortados ao domingo. agora ela parece um menino chinês após um corte de cabelo 3 horas no West Shopping.

Brasil da equipe olímpica que incluem Ronaldinho, Robinho e Diego, para citar alguns deles está a caminho de Singapura para um amistoso em 28 de julho, no estádio nacional. muito provavelmente eu não estou indo por causa de compromissos de trabalho. mas será uma história diferente se Kaka proveniente da Argentina ou talvez com cerca de Messi, vou certamente encontrará uma maneira de go.Long Messi Live!. divirta-se fazer o que im quantificar esse destacamento. ver todos em torno de você em breve.
