lousy week so far

I dreamnt of you for the first time in 3 years last night. It was a sad dream. I was looking for you as I was slowly dying from the pollution around me. And I couldn’t find you. All I could find was your sister. Who didn’t want to tell me where you were. I woke up stunned by the dream and even more shocked when I realised that there were tears streaming down my cheeks. Internship isn’t what I expected it to be at all. But I don’t want to go into too much detail about it. God knows who reads this blog. Would be like shooting myself in the foot. Suffice to say that I am looking forward to completing the next 11 weeks as soon as possible. The quicker the better. Sigh. Wednesday. Thursday and Friday to go. I will survive week two.

This little girl should be renamed Eunice Koe

A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the stranger turned to her and said, "Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."

The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the stranger, "What would you like to talk about?"

"Oh, I don't know," said the stranger. "How about nuclear power?"

"OK" she said. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat grass, the same stuff. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?"

The stranger thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea." "How can you feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?"

ChapterXIII

Her phone beeped. It was him.


'I suggest you check your mail before your father does.' the message said.


She hurried to the front gate to get her mail. There was a parcel with her name on it.

She open it hurriedly, curious to see what was inside. There was a CD and a box.

'Listen to the CD first, the letter instructed.'

She rushed to her room and played the CD on her computer.

'I know its weird sending a CD. But you wouldn't listen to what I have to say over the phone. So here it is; my thoughts and feelings about everything that has happened between us. First of all I just want to say that being with you for the past two years of my life has been something special and something I'll treasure the rest of my life. I truely love you. At first I did not know the meaning of love. I look at my family and I feel that everything that is good has to come to an end some how. Now; after meeting you, I don't believe that is true any more.'

'I love you Yuki. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to wake up next to you. I want to always be there when you need me. To hold your hand when you are lonely. To hug you when you are cold. To kiss you when you are sad. And to love you when you feel there is no hope left.'

'I know your father strongly objects to us being together. There is nothing I can do about that. I would if I could. I swear. But I'd like you to understand something else. You're not a little girl any more. You're 21. Old enough to vote. Old enough to make your own decisions. If you love me as much as I think you do, you shouldn't hesitate to admit it to yourself and to your family.'

'I'm not trying to tell you to leave your family and be with me. That would be horribly unfair of me. What I am trying to say is that we are both in love. And its not puppy love, we feel strongly about each other; so strongly that it HAS to be right.'

'I've been saving money ever since I started working. At first I thought it was just for a rainy day. Then I realised that there could be no rainer day than a future without you. You're a really smart . With your grades you should be able to get a scholarship. And since I'm working I will be able to support you financially and emotionally. I'm making enough money so that I can support your studies and still live comfortably. We can trust and depend on each other Yuki, don't you see that?'

'Be strong Yuki, Don't let other people dictate what course you take in life. Chase your dreams and live your life as your own. If you father is angry at first it will pass. You are after all his favorite daughter. When he finally understand how deeply in love we are, I'm sure he will understand and relent.'

'Now open the box that came with the parcel.'

She opened the box to see a small diamond ring. Unconsciously she slipped it on. It was a perfect fit.

'I want to marryou Yuki... I've never been more serious about anything in my life. Slip the ring on Yuki. It belongs to you and like your pendant, it is my love oath to you. Undying and forever. I will be waiting for you at the McD's we first met, I like little ironies. Heh. Come see me if you want this to happen. Move in with me. If not, I'll understand if you want to disappear from my life. Change your hand phone number. Change your email address, Do what you will with the ring. I'll give you up and not contact you any more. But I will always love you. Always.'

The CD stopped playing and she found herself crying. Holding tight to her ring, she went to pack her bags.

'Where are you going?' her father asked. 'Whats with the luggage?'

'I'm sorry daddy but I've made up my mind. I'm marrying Vince. I love him and he loves me. We belong together.' she replied softly.

'What nonsense is this. I'll pull you out of college. In fact I'll stop you from having any social life, let alone marrying that heathen mongrel.' he shouted.

'I don't need your money any more daddy. I'm marrying Vince. That's what I've decided.' she said firmly.

'I love you daddy and it breaks my heart to do this. But I have to. I can't imagine a life without Vince.' she added.

'Puppy love Yuki. You'll get over it soon. Stop being so stubborn and put your luggage down,' he growled.

'I'm sorry daddy. I can't. Good bye daddy. I hope find the love in your heart to accept and forgive me.' she said, running outside.

'You will NOT leave me. I'm your FATHER. You WILL listen to what I have to say.' he said angrilly, grabbing hold of her luggage.

'Let go daddy... let go... PLEASE... don't make this harder than it already is. I'm calling him to pick me up.'

Her father pulled at the luggage, refusing to let go. Try as she might Yuki couldn't move the luggage from her father's grasps.

She took a step back and pulled as hard as she could.

Her hand slipped and she found herself falling backwards... right into an oncoming lorry.

There was a loud bang and sbe fell several meter away, bleeding from her nose and eyes.

'Yuki! Yuki!' he father exclaimed.

The lorry driver rushed out of the lorry. 'Its not my fault! She jumped in front of my lorry! There was nothing I could do!' he exclaimed.

A small crowd gathered around the fallen girl. Yuki's father was hysterical. Screaming her name and trying to raise her to her feet. A man approached the two and checked Yuki's vital signs.

'Its no good. I'm sorry sir. She's dead.'

Her diamond ring was blood red and her hand phone was smashed to pieces.

He sat at the table drinking strawberry milkshake. Waiting patiently. 'She's probably just delayed,' he thought.

Some time later, a waiter approached him, ' I'm sorry, but were closing now. Its already 1am.' the waiter said.

'It is huh.' he sighed.

'Give me a second will ya?'

'Sure. Take your time sir.' the waiter replied.

He dialed Yuki's hand phone number. 'Sorry, but the number you have dialed is not in service.'

He tried again but got the same response.

'So thats what she decided.' Teary eyed he called for the waiter, 'Could I have a strawberry milkshake to go please?'

'Sure sir. Here you go.'

He sipped on the mikshake as he walked out the door. 'Strawberry milkshake. Unbelievably sweet. Unbelievably wonderful. I'll never forget the taste.'

With that he walked slowly towards the car, weeping gently.

Chapter XII :)

He lay on the floor, completely wasted. His right hand reach for his whisky and he drank some more.

'What am I doing?' he groaned to himself.

'Is there any point to this? She's already left. Already found some one else.'

'Something doesn't feel right about it. Something's not quite there... but what?' he sighed.

He slept for a while and dreamed.

He was at the basketball court in ss18 playing hard. It was Christmas. His shooting was abysmal as always so he was about to pass the ball. Then he heard a voice say,' Shoot it baby! Shoot it!'.

So he shot the ball and watched it rise high in the sky. Spinning. Then it hit the net to a loud swish sound... the FRONT of the net! He curse then turned to see who had given him the command to shoot. Then he saw her.

Startled he called for a time-out and ran towards her.

'Baby, what are you doing here?' he said trying to hide his glee at seeing her.

'Where else would I be? Its Christmas. A girl's gotta be with her honey on Christmas you know!' she giggled.

He raised his arms to hug her, when she interuppted him abruptly, 'Don't you dare! You're all sweaty and horrible!' she complained.

'Ok. How about a Christmas hand shake then milady?' he asked. She nodded and imperiously gave her hand for him to shake. He took it and kissed her palm, trailing kisses upwards towards her shoulder.

'Honey! There are people here! Behave!' she chided.

'Christmas is all about sharingm. Let them look,' he grinned. Without a second thought he pulled her towards him into a huge hug and kissed her softly on the lips.

'Mmmffhpph... oh you jerk! I'm drenched!' she complained, pushing him away.

He laughed. 'Well... you definitely are now!' he said pouring his water on her.

'You JERK!' she screamed and ran after him waving her hands. He ran away from her for a good ten minutes then decided to let her catch him and face the music. After all this wasn't some Bollywood production.

She smacked him a few good ones and his arms were sore but he found himself laughing at her.

'My hand hurts! You thick skinned elephant!' she groused.

He took her hands and kissed them. 'There all better.' he smiled.

'Not! They still hurt!,' she insisted, tip toeing to kiss him full on the lips.

When the kissed finished, he teased her, 'Behave honey... there are people watching!'

'Oh shut up!' she said walking off in a huff. He grabbed her hand and pulled her close.

'Thanks for coming. Its the best Christmas I've ever had.' he smiled at her.

'It's just the beginning. Come open your present!' she giggled childishly, leading him to her car.

'Oh! Hugs, kisses and a present! I'm starting to LOVE Christmas,' he laughed.

'Here!' she passed him a small box.

'What is it?' he asked shaking the box.

'Something you'll like, I hope!' she replied. 'Open it hun!' she commanded.

He carefullly unwrapped the present taking his time. Then, she got impatient and tore the wrapping apart.

'Hey! I was gonna keep the wrapping!' he grumbled.

'It's just wrapping, look at the present!' she beamed excitedly.

It was a metal pendant. It read Vince on one side and Yu-Chan on the other. There were little hearts inscribed on it as well.

'Its perfect. Just what I wanted.' he hugged her.

'Remember this Vincy... If anything were to happen between us in the next year, hold on to this pendant. It will survive the worst of the weather and last through the hardest of times. Don't ever doubt how much we were in love when you hold this pendant. It's not just a pendant; it is my love oath to you,' she blushed then rested her head on his shoulder.

He opened his eyes.

'Pendant.' he thought.

He reached into his shirt and took out the pendant.

'She was lying! There is no one else. I know it. She was just saying that to push me away so I'd forget her. It must be because of her dad again.' he whispered to himself.

'I can't leave things the way it is,' he reached for his cellphone and called her.

'Hey stranger...' he whispered.

'Vince... I thought I told you things between us were over... why are you still calling?' her voice quavered.

'Over? Over because of a lie? There is NO someone else is there Yuki? You made that all up because your dad disapproves of us being together.'

'I'm sorry.' she whispered; close to tears.

He choked back the angry words that came to mind when he thought about her. Bile rised to his mouth and he wanted to spit badly. 'So you don't care? You're just gonna let your dad decide everything for you?' he asked her angrilly.

'I don't have a choice. I don't want to talk to you anymore. Thanks for ruining my day. Good bye,' she said, putting the phone down.

He slammed his curled up fist into a wall. It throbbed with a piercing sensation that calmed him down a little. 'Damn it! Why did things always have to be so freaking uphill?' he cursed to himself.

'Damn it all. I'm just gonna call the whole thing off. The hell should I care if she had this shitty attitude.

Then he thought about how much she meant to him. And thought about what he could do.

Apologise...

I'm holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
I'm hearin what you say but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say that...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothing newI loved you with a fire red-Now it's turning blue, and you say..."Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

Bridge (guitar/piano)

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
It's too late to apologize, yeahI said it's too late to apologize, yeah-I'm holdin on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground...


Lately I've been hooked on this song... listening to it alot as to my life as of this moment it has a lot of meaning to me...

too late to apologise... meaning its too late to fix things or repair the damage that you've made...

some times... time passes and wound heal... but when they heal without a touch of love... a touch of forgiveness... they become scars... and when they scar it is too late for anything to be done about the wound... it is permanent...

lately I've been put in the position where I was given a chance to forgive and start things all over again... but it came two years too late... I couldn't forgive someone for something I already steeled my heart against... I wanted to forgive but could not find the compassion within me.. I wanted to love again... but loves buds already wilted...

but what is this feeling of sadness and lost? a fresh cut... and a deep one...

I just hope it doesn't scar =)

Officially missing you

You know how they say time heals all wounds? I wonder if thats true... some wounds seem to linger... and they don't heal but instead fester...

I know its in bad taste to write emo stuff when its Chinese New Year... but at the same time, I've never been one to like festivals...

Some how it always feels like the past was too good to be true... and the future too bleak to wade into...

2 years ago this time of the year I was madly in love...

1 year ago I had my heart broken into pieces...

valentines day?

meh... I've stopped celebrating it since we broke up...



[Verse One]
All I hear is raindrops
Falling on the rooftop
Oh baby tell me why'd you have to go
Cause this pain I feel
It wont go away
And today I'm officially missing you
I thought that from this heartache
I could escape
But I fronted long enough to know
There ain't no way
And today
I'm officially missing you

[Chorus]
Oh can't nobody do it like you
Said every little thing you do
Hey baby say it stays on my mind
And I, I'm officially

[Verse Two]
All I do is lay around
Two ears full tears
From looking at your face on the wall
Just a week ago you were my baby
Now I don't even know you at all
I don't know you at all
Well I wish that you would call me right now
So that I could get through to you somehow
But I guess it's safe to say baby safe to say
That I'm officially missing you

[Chorus][Bridge]
Well I thought I could just get over you baby
But I see that's something I just can't do
From the way you would hold me
To the sweet things you told me
I just can't find a way
To let go of you

[Chorus]
It official
You know that I'm missing you
Yeah yes
All I hear is raindrops
And I'm officially missing you

Happy Moments

Everyone has happy moments that make him or her happy. My personal day dream is what makes me happiest and smile when I'm down. My very own private made up happy moment. ITS MINE AND I'M NOT SHARING... well for RM 5,000 I might share... xP~... It goes something like this:


'The wind blew gently across the lawn. The sun was high in the sky, signalling its dominance over the land. A land full of greenery... and... ??? ... ??? puppies????

Hundreds of little puppies stamping their tiny paws. Running here and there. The ground shook with a distant rumble. A rumble all too familiar to the old couple who live in 'Pupland'. Which was named 'Pupland'... because of the puppies! Duh!

The oldest couple in the street, A and B. Named A and B, because C and D were copyrighted. Apparently some smart ass named his invention CD. The nerve of some people stealing ideas even before they are made. Tsk.. tsk...

Anyway, they're named A and B, cause some other idiot took A & W. Thats a whole new rant all together, so don't ask me why they're called A and B. People these days have no orginality whatsover.

Moving on swiftly. This old couple were sun drying their hides. Yes, after you reach a certain age, your skin becomes extra thick. Little things don't embarass you anymore. So it's no longer considered 'skin'. It's considered a hide.

Umm, like I was saying, the old couple were sunning their hides. Okay... okay, they were sun bathing. Maybe they were sunbathing hoping that the sun would burn away some of their wrinkly bits. You see if it burned away ALL their wrinkly bits, there'd be nothing left of them. YES! They were THAT old.

The nice thing about this couple was that their wrinkles were mostly smile lines. Sure there were other lines too. Giggle lines, Grin lines. Laugh lines. Mostly happy sorta lines. There were some lines, if you looked REALLY REALLY hard, that weren't so happy. But that was a very very very long time ago. Way before the comets wiped out Chinese schools and traffic jams. ( :D )

So A, the lady of the couple. Don't ask me why A is the female. Females by nature are dominating and like being the higher grade. So I gave this one to her. Oh great, now you've done it. You've sparked another one of those terrible questions. 'Do you love me enough to let me be A?'

Heres the answer. 'Honey I love you enough for you to be ALL the articles, 'A', 'an' and 'the' even!' I'm so kind I could kick myself some times. No need for help :) Thanks for the thought tho.

Any way A was sipping her ice lemon tea and enjoyin sunning herself. She did perspire a little. Yes perspire. Only men and pigs sweat by the way. Amazing how pigs managed that. After all they have no sweat glands. Perhaps this balances out the fact that men are ALL glands. Let's not go into details on that one.

As I was saying before you interrupted, A was perspiring and baking under the sun, when a bunch of yelping occured. 'Hun, baby is at it again,' said A.

B of course being male, was fast asleep. We're immune to sounds and noise when we rest. And we rest when ever we damn well please. Well, ALMOST all noise.

'HOI! BABY IS MISBEHAVING AGAIN.' said the noise. I mean said A.

Anyone else noticed how 'Honey' was abbreviated to 'HOI' in this particular instance.

This is not due to unnecessary anger or aggression. A was merely being considerate. B after all was a little older than she. His hearing was not all it used to be. Thus, 'HOI' effectively is a shorter and louder sound that B could hear clearly.

*sigh*

What a loving couple.

'Whats the bitch monster dog up to this time?' grumbled B. Old men are by nature cranky. The strikeouts are not because we were censoring. It was merely B being considerate to his lady's tastes and mumbling under his breath.

Okay.. okay... so like most men, the old man was muttering to avoid his lady hearing and him getting a nagging.

'She's chasing the pups away from her toys again.' said A.

'Oh thats nice dear.' said B tactfully. Truthfully, in hope that A would drop the topic.

'Go stop her! That's NOT nice! The poor puppies,' said A hitting new octaves as she spoke.

Women tend to do that. The higher the tone of voice they take, the clearer the sign of how upset they are. God was kind to men in that sense; when it comes to understanding women. Not so kind to our ear drums though if you ask me.

Grumbling the man went to greet his disobedient mutt.

Mean while, A continued feeding their grandchild, Nicole, milk from the bottle.'

Hundreds of puppies. Grand children to love. And my lady. Thats my daydream and my happy moment. :)

Happy - Happy Moments

:D

This monkey has a pet Dragon

I met this dragon girl
Whose smile would make your toenails curl
Some would say she’s real pretty
But what I like about her is that she’s witty

We met not too long ago
But my liking for her has begun to grow
She’s kind and open minded
Our conversations are fun and never one sided

She’s something special as you can see
She’s as fun as can be
Although people say friendships grow slow
She defies all logic that I know

Just overnight she’s become my close friend
Some one I’d treasure from the start to the end
She’s moved pretty away =
But in my heart and mind she will always stay

So dear dragon if you read this
Here’s a hug and a big kiss
You’re like my little sister I never had
I wish you’re always happy and never sad

If ever you’re down
And you feel there’s no one around
You can turn to me
Cause I promise I’ll always be there for you to see

This is my poem for you
Sealed with love and blood too
An unswerving love nothing can bend
I pray we will be friends till the very end.

I'm a fat man

As I grow
rounder and rounder
I have to stop
and ponder

Should I have skipped
dessert last night?
Why the hell
are my pants so tight?

I'm literally cheekier
than I used to be
The fat man in me
is starting to get free

If you pull at my spare tyres
or my extra chins
I'll smack you so hard
that your world spins

I might be fatter now
but look at it this way
I can diet it all way
You're butt ugly everyday!
