Rectify

A beautiful cloth burnt to ashes,
Silken once but blacken now,
Pain in the heart rushes,
The cure this pain doesn't allow..

A week well spent....maybe I had gone overboard with the environment thingy but at least I penned my views....I am here not to entertain others with puns filled with humour or to disinter intense animosity...views or points that I make are the rights that I have here in my own personal blog...what I feel is what I pen.....provided that my personal affairs are filtered....heh....hmm....had a minor accident just now....my younger brother blew off his top at the other female driver.....fortunately only minor scratches were inflicted....not to each other lah.no cat fight witnessed..heh..just the car.....hmmm..the damage is repairable........hmm


Hus n me at the waterworks.. 



Chestnut Waterworks.. 



Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take;
but by the moments that take our breath away!


Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
because it takes only a smile to
make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.






The Secret of the Sea

My soul is full of longing,
For the secret of the sea,
And the heart of the great ocean,
Sends a thrilling pulse through me.

-Henry Wordsworth Longfellow

A short interim from work....well exactly not an interim, more of 2 days UPA leave...worthwhile compulsory outings for CEM101...these outings are mainly about environment issues....I guess I am in the minority who are obsessively concerned and manic about recycling and conservation.....hmmmm..it sets my mind thinking.....when will the human race realise that the world that we are inhabiting is nearing to doom?global warming, pollution and deforestation issues are so near to us, yet we are disregarding it....so if drawbacks hit us,will it then knock some sense in our heads?hmmm...(ponders)


Heh...me shiny forehead...next to me is Her at NEWater Visitor Centre....yep...full time teachers who took 2 days leave t to complete an assignment requirement..it was just not only the both of us...many of the others were there as well.. 



Me peering thru the pane....a brief juncture of peace.... 



A nice view from the NIE library 



My Cousin

A little girl of five that is my cousin,
A stranger to me since she was born,
Your mother's relationship with me is not pleasant,
Left an aunt and a niece full of scorn.

-Haze

What a day it had been yesterday with tutorials at NIE, project discussion with Her and Vilas and afterwards, my unwanted visit to my aunt's house at Chai Chee to do the project....saw Hus eventually...she looks cheerful and lively during the tutorials....whereas my mien was in turmoil....I did not want to visit me aunt...just for the sake of the project, I had to do it...arghhh...honestly, I've never met my little cousin since she was like less than a year old...and now she's coming to 6....wow...how bad that is right....to add to the misery, my Mum was accompanying me....she was full of sarcasm and retorted about how I was not mingling with her side and stuff...duhhh...that really irked me but what the heck,ignorance is better than responding which would add more fuel to the fire...I was ready to face the inevitable moment(sniggers)....well, alhamdulilah the session turned out fine with my cuzzie and her mother...phewww....I am trying to renew the broken threads of ties between me and my Mum's side.....hope it does becoz it would affect the.....(better keep it under wraps here) ..heh...nothing...hmm..back to lesson planning now...hmm


Predicament

Trapped by these four walls,
Impenetrable barriers of cement,
This tired entity calls,
Harboured by the predicament.

-Haze

My mind is not thinking straight today...until unaware whether the poem rhymes or not.....constantly bombarded by the demands of work....been absent for awhile...mind knackered and body drained....I guess I should pepper the next day with a dash of sufficient rest and sunny moments...hmmm


A day

These memories duly spent,
wired upon a simple day,
Even such a wonderful event,
Can make one so ever gay.

-Haze

Harlow...yep.....finally visited Hus...after frantically searching a prezzie for her baby..heh....her baby is sooooo chubby...love the baby smell.....such a sweet and innocent fragrance...ahh..... :O)


Atikah sleeping so peacefully....such an angel but when she sleeps, she likes to fidget...a replica of Hus..hahhaaa during tutorials , Hus would also fidget....:P 



Hus's baby daughter, Atikah...hehehe..she managed to open her sepet eyes even while sleeping....hehehe...isn't she cute...i just couldn't get my eyes off her... 



A well deserved Coffee Bean black forest frapuccino....yummy.. 



just right after the turtorials at NIE bus stop...yawnsss... 



Amuse

Oh such a light hearted entity,
Tickled the senses deep in me,
Open my obscured eyes to clarity,
That a cheerful wonder one can be,

-Haze

I call this one cute little entity 'sweetie pie'....he puts a smile on me face everytime I see him.....such a dear one...he amplified the euphoria whenever I see him...merci beaucoup miniature and immensely adorable one for levitating me to a point I've never reached before...a smile worth more than a million diamonds or gems in this insignificant being... :O)


Time

Unfathomable Sea! whose waves are years,
Ocean of Time, whose waters of deep woe
Are brackish with the salt of human tears!
Thou shoreless flood, which in thy ebb and flow
Claspest the limits of mortality!

And sick of prey, yet howling on for more,
Vomitest thy wrecks on its inhospitable shore;
Treacherous in calm, and terrible in storm,
Who shall put forth on thee,
Unfathomable Sea?

By Percy Bysshe Shelley




It's quite late...over midnight...what am I doing here blogging?..heh..I bloghopped just now..quite a few interesting reads...nowadays insufficient time to blog, even to visit or drop by to see friends seems difficult to arrange..the schedule is packed...hmm..I received an unexpected email from a long lost close buddy...yep..it's Geok Lan...she had just given birth to another baby boy named Damien...she's thinking of moving to Adelaide or Melbourne from Brisbane and she's advising me to join her...she and her family are official Aussie PRs....hmm..most prolly I will in a few years' time...get a teaching stint there and eventually settle down in a new foreign environment...as for work, should I comment on it here...who knows that some TNS staff might coincidentally read me personal stuff..heh..well, in general, the staff are amiable except for a few....'ahem-ahem'..and the supervisor..hmmm..can I be blunt?nahhhh..me think otherwise..I am trying the best to adapt...and organising the steps taken to ensure that I know the ropes...hmm...time to ZZZZZZZZzzzz...hmm


Commit

These weary eyes watches,
the tears falling like useless pearls,
nothing in this world washes,
as the fire its heat hurls...

-Haze

hmm.....the usual monotony of tireless churning of these hands, mind and energy to the ferocity of life's demands.....others have their loved ones by their side cheering their miens..unlike me.....the wheels of life just revolves and moves on endlessly for me.....at times I feel my life is inadequate...is it that obvious?am I inclined to be this until the animated bones fracture and cripple?..hmmm...how can I flourish from these bounties of 'rubble' that traps me....hmmm..it still remains unanswered...hmm


A New World

A new, chubby face shown,
Born truly out of love,
With a unique name known,
With all the blessings from Above.
