when i write without words
Posted in a pinch of seriousness on September 5, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I am gnashing my teeth, my jaw in a deadlock, at the stubbornness of the mind to produce legible writing. I look from papers, to forums, to changing songs in hopes of stumbling across one to put me in the mood and let my fingers fly. I’ve gotten a paragraph, but that was all 4 [...]
fan vs apple
Posted in a pinch of seriousness on August 25, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I’ve been looking at a few potential candidates in terms of pendants to purchase, and for the past few days have been deciding between a flower, a pink fan and a red apple. I asked the opinions of the few who would understand my peculiarities (how does one answer the question ‘am I a flower, [...]

inside each person there are so many thoughts that do not see the light of day. Thoughts like ‘i think i look good’, ‘i think you’re stupid’, ‘i know i’m better than you but oh, why are you so blind to think yourself so great!’, ‘humility is what matters’… thoughts like these do not hurt, [...]

I’m wasting time looking through Facebook and the inane things people do there, reading through posts and profiles of strangers, scanning pictures of preened pretty people, masquerades of smiles for the self-held camera. I’m flitting through blogs of the famous and unknown, i’m reading about outside lives that do and will not make sense to [...]

people who have absolute control of their hands and mind. You would think we all do, y’know, until you stammer in your speech or become brain dead or suddenly blank out because you suddenly just have no idea what to do.

I’m back from Langkawi! Hello to you, you and you! Missed me much? I came home to no xin, so i do miss my elder prawn sister very very much, but this post is meant for a prequel to all the pictures that might (depending on laziness) float onto the blog after i get them off [...]

We arrived into a blast of darkness, our eyes frantic in the search of a glimmer, hysterics bordering the senses – the scene is too much of a Hollywood horror, I reluctantly stepped out of the light and plunged myself into the empty space forward.

Posted in a pinch of seriousness on June 26, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Girls are usually a victim of some form of sexual harassment or another, be it that lecherous leer everytime you walk past a table of old men, or the wolf-whistles from a swiftly passing motorcycle, or the accidental bumps and stumbles that inevitably leads to a pointed look down the cleavage, a grope of the butt, [...]
