The Good Old Days

Jeremy is AMok King
Dylan is AMok Duke
Yijie is AMok Jester
Yongli is AMok Prince
Alex is AMok Kia

We were known as AMok Party.
And we still are.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I messaged dylan on a whim, and he sent me a link for an online game, LoGD, an imitation of the classic Legend of the Red Dragon - LoRD, that we used to play on BBS years ago (1994 ~ 1996 ?)... That's the Bulletin Board System.. a country wide network similar in structure and concept to today's Internet. We were pretty advanced kids those days.

Childhood stuff that stays on with you. It still flows in our veins.

Words of Wisdom

Today in film class, in a fit of excitement, the lecturer said " ..blahblah.. guys fucked around...."

A Minute

Will you remember a minute of your life for somebody?

Cuban Rafters

I'm a little sadder than i think i should have been, somehow. Which mean it's getting a little too deep and a little too unhealthy.

I sure would love to backpack thru euro with you.

so Cuban Rafters tomorrow. 1 pair of tickets, 1 pair of butts, need one more. who can i get? shd have just booked 1 ticket for my solitary butts, given the odds. i can even shoot some pool alone.

A run will clear up the gloomy weather in me, once the gloomy weather outside runs off.

Paced

didn't read her blog for a while, and just now i suddenly panicked for a sec. now that i did, i'm glad she's fine.. still cheery and complaining and fighting at least.

i'm relieved..

i wonder when i can or will actually go down and see her..

how the importance of schoolshit pales in comparison when we take things into perspective. stressed over schoolwork? my ass.

get well soon, my dear fren..

A Bum

I have been very lazy today. I have been very lazy this week. In fact, I have been very lazy this entire semester. What if...

A thousand unseen forces are weighing down on me. Sometimes they make me breathless, sometimes they leave me exhausted. Sometimes I get sleepy. At times i feel relieved, but it only last till the next moment, when my mind awakens.

I went for a photo-seminar today, a talk by Straits Times photojournalist Ong Chin Kai. I borrowed a photography book from the library. After which I had lunch at 6pm. The smiling KFC idiot gave me a piece of drumstick instead of breast meat. That spoiled my day. I want to be a photojournalist. I also have a presentation on basic photography due on monday.

Things get uglier when you get too involved. Not knowing too much is a bliss sometimes.

The forces are making me sleepy again.

The Cleaner

Look to the sky and sigh out loud
Shield not my love, these wayward clouds
A brush, a palette in my hand
I try to wave them off.


50th Post. It really took some time.

[ mee pok man ]

I am hungry so i eat
there's no mee pok, oh damn it
I eat white rice, i'm Chinese
sometimes i have, spaghetti

Go to school, every morning
what's the point of, studying?
After one year you forget
what you learnt in Chemistry.

I took A.Maths, but dropped it
couldn't integrate, oh headache
I had B4 for English Lit
after i learn, write poem

Had a teacher, Evelyn Tan
She's quite lanky, and funnie
It's not too bad, my English
Maybe can be journalist

Jokers from The New Paper
I think they, cannot make it
Like reading, ToiletPaper
"(No pun intended)", my ass

I had eaten, so not hungry
mother cooked me, some porridge
She likes vege, i like meat
She says i'm a carnivore

S a n g u i n i t y

today is a strange day.

today, i've been talking to myself for the past couple hours. it's the after effect of soccer in the morning, the on-coming rush of endorphins during and after playing, like the consumation of love. it feels sanguine.

it's like the spiritual enlightenment and tranquility of religion. it's my religion. only happens after this passionate affair, feeling the flow of love running thru your veins.

i am at peace today.

when i'm at peace, i look at life in a different light. in the vivid colors that should have been, in the black n white tones that truth is.

I wish to feel like this every week.
