A Special New Year

New Year is nearing for people everywhere;
A joyous occasion and a time to reflect;
But why does it feel different, the occasion this year;
Where laughter and smiles turn into cries and tears;
Of sorrow and despair, and pain elsewhere;
Feelings which no one, ever wanted to have;

They thought they were safe, they thought nothing of the waves;
But they thought wrong, and paid dearly instead;
The waves battered and rammed, without mercy and without a care;
For the anger it held, was too much to bear;
Whole villages were gone, in just seconds;
For nature have proven once again, the destruction it can cause;

So as we welcome, the new year ahead;
Let's not forget the grief, that some others face;
And no matter where we are, and what we do;
Please also spare a thought for Mother Nature too;
For she has feelings, like you and me;
Happy new year everyone, take care and god bless.



that poem was written by me while i was at work this morning.... i know it sucks and all, but it explains how i was feeling at that time.... pardon me yah, cause i know the poem is crap... i'm an amateur at this... this is like only the 2nd or 3rd poem i've wrote since secondary school.... and i think sec school students can even write better than me.... anyways, i thought i might as well share it with my friends who actually take the time to read my blog since i already wrote it.... take care peeps... Happy New Year....

i'm back!!!! juz got back from malaysia last night.... damn tired.... was supposed to go to work today, but damn tired and lazy lah... so took mc.... haha.... it was quite fun over there.... but it was marred by the news of the tsunami tragedy.... i first heard the news when i woke up on sunday at my uncle's place over in malacca.... but i only realised the magnitude of the disaster when i reached my primary school teacher's house in KL that same evening with my family.... i was watching the news and the sight on the tv was terrible.... its juz so sad.... people like me who were holidaying suddenly had their lives cut short juz like that.... it juz shows that nature can take back what it has given us whenever it wants... the beautiful beaches which were the envy of people everywhere were gone in juz a few minutes..... sad to say, some people in singapore don't even bother to clear up their own rubbish after enjoying themselves at the beach.... these are people who are ignorant and selfish.... lets juz pray for those lives that were lost and the families that they left behind....

was caught by surprise today.... you said it to me at a time when i was still half asleep, and it totally woke me up.... you know who you are.... i'm really really sorry if my reaction was hurtful to you or anything like that.... i'm juz not ready for anything... you're still young, and you have many many years to find that special person.... don't rush.... i'm sure you'll get over this.... i'll still be your friend...... take care of yourself....

one week down, one more week to go.... haha.... yea, one more week to the day daniel comes back from reservist.... hopefully i'll still be in one piece when he comes back... haha... yesterday was a pretty cool day.... quite well spent i muz say... went to the gym with beng and david as usual in the morning... akil couldn't make it as he wanted to wake up late.... well, that's what he told me... haha.... correct me if i'm wrong yah? after gym, we went for pool and we also watched alexander in the afternoon.... talking bout alexander, it's a pretty disturbing movie.... well, to me at least.... there was one sex scene where this girl was nude.... and i mean totally nude.... and that's not what made it disturbing.... there were a couple of moments which made me squirmed in my seat.... it was really uncomfortable..... especially after my encounter last saturday morning.... and no thanks to the taunting by my 2 idiotic friends, i felt even "better".... haha.... no wonder its rated m18..... but all in all, alexander is a pretty good movie....

I'm extremely disappointed with my malay secondary school friends.... especially the girls.... if you juz can't be bothered to meet up for a hari raya gathering, juz say so! don't let us guys wait like fools for you idiotic girls.... what's up with that.... can't say that i was surprised.... it was the same thing last year.... in the end, only the 3 guys went out together last year.... seriously, if this is going to be the case every year, then let's juz forget bout keeping in contact with each other.... i juz can't be bothered with "friends" like you girls anymore.... its juz a waste of my time and effort.... always giving excuses to avoid meeting us.... for goodness sake, its juz once a year.... sigh.... its juz so so disappointing......
