Willie And I – Prawn Fishing

Prawns with satay sticks being shoved up their asses and grilled alive.

I finally finished my exams today after a crazy two week rush to devour the books in my stomach. yum yum. Now that it is over and done with i went with Willie to go prawn fishing! During the first time round, he drove all the way to Jurong and the place was closed. Undetered, we decided to try again at Marina South. We managed to find the place after ending up in east coast and the GPS system was misleading him instead of guiding him. “Turn Left, Turn Left” … then we were like “Where got left ?!”. “Do a U-Turn”… and we didn’t see any u-turns x_X

After a gruesome ride and many wrong routes we ended up at the place. It was a very dark narrow road into the place. There was no lights. Guess what? It is closed too! So we went to two places without avail. The prawn fishing addiction is unbearable, we just have to hook up some prawns and BBQ them alive!!

I guess we are going to try again next time at Westlake. ( i didn’t know the name really meant that there were fishing lakes in the area ) Just hope that the place is not closed AGAIN!

Will update with more photos in my future entries, my camera is gathering rust in the cupboard.

Fall

She looked at her reflection in the mirror, she could not see herself.

A star drops from the skies

Crashing down into the earth

Broken into fragile small pieces

In heat of anger, she smashed the mirror onto the floor.

Like sea shells on the shore

Bits and pieces litter the beach

Glittering under the moonlight

She took a shard and plunged it deep down her veins.

Volcanic ashes fill the skies

Blurring the sun from view

Red hot lava drips down the earth

Cherry blossoms, Red stars… drifing into v o i d

Alive

Sometimes

I cuddle in the corner

at the far end of the room

thinking i am not dead or alive

a spirit that haunts the earth

walking on grounds others thread

walking into the memory road

feeling the sensations of being alive

when i was truly happy and sad

i could no longer feel a tear

it has frozen with time

like snowflakes in a winters storm

there are no days or nights

worldly perceptions are illusions

the cracks surfaces on the walls

as they crumble down into pieces

the wind takes them away with time

the old destroyed, replaced by the new

I cuddle against the far end of the room

afraid to open my eyes to face the storm

wishing that it would end

as a tear drips from my lifeless eyes

Tryptology Theory on Caffine

Recently, a fellow friend who prefers to remain autonomous decided to take up blogging.
He calls himself Tryptology. (although i dont really know what it means, it sounds cool !)
Sometimes, science just fails to explain every pheomeon in the world. That is when self-invented theories come in. They do not have to be proven! (not everything is proven either) It can be illogical or just based on tapping into the knowledge of the universe.

Today, Trptology has decided to follow the lead and come out with his own theory on caffeine headaches:

I have a theory about caffeine headaches. They are the result of toxins built up in the body accumulated through caffeine use. My hypothesis is that caffeine halts the natural detox process in the body. It triggers the body’s emergency flight or fight response, prepping it up for an ‘ultimate state of mind’, relieving pain, postponing sleep and rest, etc. This accumulates a kind of body ‘debt’ which expresses itself in the form of fatigue and toxin accumulation. Of course, repeated caffeine use halts the user from feeling these symptoms. It is only when they stop caffeine, are they alerted to the true state of their body.

I kind of agree with that, i just can’t seem to focus without coffee!!

Did i mention that i spent $60 on coffee alone the past month?

Coffee is a real killer.

Wake Up

Falling back into

a deep deep dream

I wonder if i could ever

wake up

my warped memories

a haunting darkness of evil laughters and pointing fingers

They gather around, pointing, laughing

I buried my head in my arms, kneeling in the middle

I screamed and screamed, trying to drown out their laughter

Eyes of green sinister fabrication is all i see.

wake up…

My warped memories

A teardrop of undying pain drips across my frozen cheeks

My lover tries to wake me up, i could hear him but i can’t feel him

In a deep deep coma in darkness, there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

wake up…

My warped memories

A hundred girls being dragged out of their homes

By devil like faces with a long heavy sword,

Raped right in front of their ancestral homes

and killed immediately before sunrise

wake up…

My warped memories

Taking me further away from the darkness

There is no reprieve from the devil’s shrine

Drifting heavier and heavier… crawling weaker and weaker

Towards the light at the end of the tunnel

before the darkness consume my soul.

“Wake up”.

Music is Universal

There was once i asked my mum why did she take up classical piano.

She replied, “Music is a universal language, no other language can replace it.”

For my typically bimbotic handbag perfume loving mother to say something so profound shocked me initially, i recovered after a while and pondered about it. No matter how much i tried to argue within my heart, i couldn’t find a better argument for her statement (i am used to arguing with her when she says illogical stuff like sleeping with my cat makes me sneeze).

“There are so many barriers in languages, not everyone can understand the differences in language. For music, it is different, everyone can understand the emotions in music, and that is what makes it such a powerful communication tool.”

It is true, no matter how flowery or brilliant language can be, its impact is limited within that few words in a statement (that is if the person reading it has a good comprehension of the language in question). Music is different, its impact is so powerful that anyone in the world can be swayed with its emotions.

Which reminds me, when i was in St Francis doing my A levels, a teacher called up an “ah beng” from my class to play the piano. With tattoos all over his chest and tattered knuckles, i thought he was the least likely candidate to be able to play the piano (more like karate).

“Play us a song about how you feel” My music teacher kindly instructed. When he sat on the pedestral and started moving his fingers across the keys… i was astounded. I could feel his emotions as he played the notes… his body swayed with the melody as he transported us to another land. My impression of him changed drastically after that, i did not see him as a gangster, in fact, i admired him.
