Falling down.

You think
I don’t know
I swear
That I do
This time
On my hands
I’ve had all this time
And I got a kick out of you
Now I’m falling down
And I’m feeling sick, how ’bout you
Oh I’m falling
But you seem
Out of sorts
But I know
We’ll be fine
These chances
We take
Time wastes
So much time
But I can’t stand up anymore
Without falling down
And I’m getting used [...]

To my enemies.

If we should fight one day,
either I’ll smash your teeth and ribs,
or you’ll have to kill me.

Bad noodles

This photo is about how bad the noodles were and how happy I was today. Thanks to you :)

S Jibeng – Musafir di Aidilfitri

I am certainly not one who digs into ‘Hari Raya songs’ (there is one by a girl group called ‘Lips’ whose lyrics and video are completely bimbotic), but I like this song because of the diction in it.

A periodic rant

Group I elements
If you have bad body odour, don’t even bother to come to the mosque. I think a good shower, and some dousing of deodorant (which come cheap from ABC store, or ValuDollar shop; I mean, _come_on_, we’re not expecting you to smell like Hugo Boss or Davidoff perfumes, here; just smell _decent_, _please_) [...]

Sean Covey on peer pressure

What is peer pressure, exactly? It’s when you feel pressured by people in your age group to act a certain way. Positive peer pressure is when your friends expect good things from you. Negative peer pressure is when your friends persuade you to conform or do something you don’t want to do, like skip school, [...]

A disturbing juxtaposition.

Children abandoning old parents at homes
S’poreans are happy, satisfied: survey
Aged, alone and abandoned
A nursing home in S’pore reports that children are abandoning their aged parents at old folks’ homes.

On looking ‘nice’.

(A reflection on things people admire. ‘Things’, because sometimes it ceases to be human.)

On looking ‘nice’, I could speak of the degree of ‘nice’, or ‘niceness’, as lying anywhere between, and inclusive of,  skanky-whore ‘nice’ and  beautiful ‘nice’. The former is consistent with the commonly heard phrase ‘naughty and nice’, where looking ‘naughty’, [...]
