tackle care

The new coalition for taking what you want
By Rishik Menon

so you calling this
freedom
leaving me
dreaming
you I we and a little
cycle with no reason
maybe you will stop short
whos in for the long drop
little hope will take you
to my heart at the roof top
moon light almost patient
glasses hide amazing
eyes and a smile
sinisterly so appraising
wow
...
I think i see
i think i see
i think i see
the sense behind these words now

its an opportunity
cold hands excuse
my company
unless that what you
want is not some
simple sweet complicity
hear the words
gorgeous
and here i love the
genius
play off on positions such
we start to feel we serious
closely lose our dinner plans
far enough to understand
nights the time
forget your pressing
curfews and that other man
ow
...

I think i see
i think i see
i think i see
the person she needs me to be

could it smell excitement
nostalgia or innocence
either or or maybe for the
chance to stop an accident
so message me by 2 am
a weekday ill take off again
another cat, basking in your
magic tame illuminance
with nothing left to stop
I find
your not gonna change
my mind
wings are left too far behind
plunge seemingly dangerous
so I may stay unprepared
for records of no regrets
locking chances sailing
to a sea quite mean yet
wonderous
now...

I think i see
i think i see
i think i see
theres no way i can make it out

air pork and bad timing

"i love the way you say goodmorning"
Ingrid Michaelson


well its June27th and the world is still turning. michael jackson is dead, and so is farah fawcett.
to be honest this celebrity news doesnt affect me. im really not that sad.
cause people die all the time. people who actually matter to our lives.
trivia tabloid like this. its dribble.

2 years ago my grandma passed away. well, 2 years 2 days. and its funny cause the night before I was happily chatting on MSN. and the conversation took one of those unexpected deep serious turns to death. so before i went to bed, i felt suddenly awakened. and aware. like there was this presence around me. and i cant say what it was, but i definitely felt something, like a soft white light. i slept well. it completely slipped my mind what day it was and the significance of it till the next morning.

morale of the story
you dont need to believe in god to feel blessed.

needless to say lifes not simple at all, but you cant blame me for pretending it is.
h1n1 is just one of those really terrible serious things that can really mess the many plans you might have had.

and yes its true. im afraid to go clubbin because of swine flu. haha.
and other plans too. like family visitng from overseas.


sigh. i know im broke. but im feeling a sudden obligation to meet my friends. so we work around excuses like birthday parties and movies.
still. still Im waiting for that time when we can do without excuses. too much to ask for. but i can wait.

wait for a point when we have progressed beyond formalities and introductions. and luck might have it that time and space (and commitments) are in our favour. so all I feel obliged to offer, is my own thoughts and honest conversation without image to uphold or ego to butter. there is no game to play. my logic makes even a chase sound boring. "as boring as a chase." i can imagine that.
but im a runner. you must forgive me my passions.


im hungry. for food.

did i mention its a saturday?
its june 27th.
this is the best there is to offer. take it or leave it. the worlds your bitch.

wake up. grab a brush put on a little make up.

You have no idea how hard it was to come up with this list.

sigh..


but it has to be done


.


of course i know its gonna be impossible to NEVER eat any of these foods ever again.

which is why (in the spirit of the Flying Spaghetti Monster) I shall name this list my
"really rather I didnt" list of foods.


its a start. viva la health revolution.

Nice

I find the term "love marriage" a disturbing one. Because it reminds me that there can actually be any other type.

"There supposed to be a hole in your sock la, fuck"

Id like to think that the majority of singaporeans are actually secretly patriotic. Like when we saw the newflash that Singapore won Pedra Branca; and in a synchronised spontaneity our arms shot up in cheer.

But I guess these things dont happen everyday...

--

all my foreign friends. and excuses to go out and meet them.
but the best are those you dont need an excuse to see.
the ones that leave you feeling..nice.

it pays to wake up early

it pays to wake up early. sometimes.
but im gonna sleep now. 
-

Running at east coast park, that best thing is running into meeting you know. 
spruyt, prem, sugu, simar, kenneth, aunty suja, lizzy. 

and meeting new people too. 

And night cycling from east coast park to changi village. ahah. my god, what an adventure. 
gears and flat tires, handlebars and wallets. 
by god I love this good clean fun.

so now im awake.
after watching/sleeping to
Hes just not that into you.
Definitely Maybe.  

Back in the real world. My mind knows better than to find hope in movies.
But with a sun as warm as that, shining through my window at the moment, Im finding my return to cynicsm being delayed. lets hope i dont do anything stupid in the interim.

which is why its best for me to go sleep right now.
its too late so say goodnight, so good morning 
goodmorning. 
to you.

everyone deserves a nice dream

cant believe nadal lost. its not fair. how.

that orange juice is so pulply i feel like I should chew before swallowing.

I swim as fast as a fat man runs.

the kind of guy that gets fit by walking an unnecessary 2km everytime he misses his stop.
 
I must be a nerd to understand half of all the references made in "Get Fuzzy". Yes i think its official, guys. Get fuzzy is a geek comic. 

He's not gay..just cause he has a flower in his hair... hmmm...


aku boleh makan... nasi lemak!!

Gonna book my practical test for September. I can win Kiran! Just believe..

thoughts on the rich and famous

you obviously know that smrt buses arnt making too much revenue from advertising when they still have a giant Nikon D60 parading around Boon Lay and Pioneer on bus 182. Either that or nikon is so rich, they have decided to go out and advertise ALL their dslr models. 


sometimes i wonder about this economic recession. like could it be that i am having better conversations with taxi drivers these days. because more well educated singaporeans are being forced into jobs like driving taxis which they previously wouldnt have to do. or could it be that all the nice makan places near my houses are super packed, because those who would usually eat outside in nice fancy posh places have decided to go budget eat at not so nice but still pretty okay ish places.

its justa theory.
