My little blue shoes (draft 1)

My little blue shoes
they carry me
Along rocky roads, and narrow paths,
on long tracks that see no end

My little blue shoes
sold at a price
that never was justified
but yet, it humbly stays
as it always is

My little blue shoes
they collect my tears
that form a ripple
to the endless sea
softly, gently, untold.

My little blue shoes
may they be the last,
while my toes may squinch in pain
I still have to carry on
because my little blue shoes,
they carry me .

-- written on the 15th dec. a day when I realised I was stronger than I thought I was. because of my father(s).

I read, I laugh and I smile.

From the Straits Times- 29 Oct 2009

- Thaksin was once given 'the Most Exalted Order of the White Elephant'

- When a list of reasons why the smart money is on Mr. Balkenende to become Europe's president included- (He visited Singapore last week)

- When a BN member was so proud to have smiled and gave his Hacks sweets to a PR member while both parties are at loggerheads on which party is the legitimate state government.

From the noticeboard outside my library

- 'Old age is a big price to buy wisdom'

From Albert Einstein? I can't remember.

- This- I thought it was slightly controversial but true to some extent and the irony lies that it is packaged so well.

"But without deeper relection, one knows from daily life that one exists for other people - first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy."

en route to tuition observation:

the unmistakable smell of crisp coffee buns... mmm. and. (momentary pause) that girl so cute... try to be ah lian but ai yoo, just to chubby to pass off as one. :)

Food for thought

Chew. Don't gobble.
Its bad for digestion and as a potential eye candy.

HAHAHAHA.

justification for macdonald's

The smile on the small little boy makes me realise that although macdonald's is unhealthy for the masses with its high amount of trans fat and what not, it still puts a smile on families as they munch happily on the fries or cakes. Life is simply too short to eat healthily and monotonously... After all, I think the joy of munching into that packet of fries offsets the knowledge of it staying in your stomach for days. But such is knowledge and exposure, for I still hesitate to purchase a mac meal no matter how happy it will possibly make me.

This moment of frus.wo.cite. milkshakes

(Divya read this and felt the first 3 paragraphs gave people the impression I was suffering from depression. I don't quite understand why my thought process is alluded to depressed thoughts.

Well, I'm not. hahaha. Enjoy this.. i quite enjoyed writing this.)

Written on 29th September, in H1 Mathematics class.

An accumulative thought process to escape the boredom of numbers and graphs:

You know those times when you are in a moment, a situation, and you know that in a while, it will all be over. Then, you would enjoy that period of ultimate bliss and enjoyment.

It is like taking a walk home, and you dread the journey... You know the comfort you will get to enjoy once you are home. You know how it feels like to be at the destination, so you simply want to achieve it.

Yet, at the present moment, right now, the journey is the obstacle, and quite literally, the journey itselfor you to achieve that aim. Therefore, at this moment, it becomes an irritant to you, because this moment is what stops you from achieving your aim.

Therefore, this moment before my A levels, this 2 months rather, is this accumulation of frustration, worrying and yet, excitement. Hence, I present to you the Frus.Wo.Cite. milkshake.

This is strangely ironical given my latest liquid consumption comes in the form of milkshakes, except they are just banana milkshakes, no sugar added, just a simple blend of one banana and one cup of milk. Capable mixture by any age above 4, as long as one has a blender.

This formation of this drink is often a convenient measure, given HL milk and bananas are of constant supply in my home.

I guess, when life gives you bananas and milk, make a banana milkshake.

We deal with it, because we have to, there is no other alternative. The moment is to be endured therefore, whether the individual desires or not. So I conclude, that life is as such, a dealing with the moment, the drink of the frus.wo.cite. milkshake, because at the end...

Just perhaps, we may find the reward most... er. rewarding. haha. :)

communism all worked out

It must be like my 6th time watching Bee Moviehttp://costumzee.com/view/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/bee_movie.png

Its not that its an extremely outstanding movie. The plot is average and the bee does not even encompass the cute factor. I guess I enjoy this movie because of the perfect communist picture it painted. (karl marx would have so given this movie 2thumbs up!)

Its perhaps unfortunate that the concept of Communism has always had this negative connotation attached to it. China, Russia (USSR) or North Korea. So far, these countries have had one thing in common, making striking impressions in the media and in history. (e.g. the unprecedented nuclear 'testing'). This movie, was a whole new league on its own!

Its really funny how the whole utopia thing actually works out. My favourite scene was when the bees graduated (they graduate like thousands of bees every 15mins btw) and are sent straight to orientation around the Hornex (the honey factory).

So they are in this tram-like thing that floats on honey (imagine night safari) and they are given a tour around Hornex. The tour guide, I tell you, is hilarious.

She says stuff like: 'We know that as a bee, you have worked your whole life to the point where you will want to work for your whole life!' or

when the protaganist asks, 'So you will just work us to death?'
she answers, 'We'll sure try!' in this super enthusiastic tone with a wink, which sends the whole group clapping and cheering.

And. they can only pick one job that will last them for the rest of their lives. And guess what? Aren't they pleased! cos' like this, they won't have to make so many decisions!

Its really funny when you think about how this might just apply to our real lives if Karl Marx had his way with the world. Everyone doing our own little thing, I dunno, sewing Mao type of suits in only one colour. Haha. Imagine our work place if we produce, I dunno. Soya Bean milk:

And we have a person crushing soya beans, another mixing and stirring crushed soya beans, another adding milk, I dunno. And they tell us stuff like, 'Aren't we the most perfectly functioning society on the planet?' haha. cos we can churn out soya bean milk by the loads.

Well, i thought I'd pen this down since I have already watched this show 6x. Must give it some credit. haha.
