Leave No Woman Behind

A song about 5BX, vest & slacks, and a very conditional type of love

My Time My Target
by LTA(NS) Menon

(Verse 1)
I can run forever
tell me where and I will go
every morning thinking of you
half left down on parade floor

though my training very jia lat
and my inchek so one kind
there is nothing i cant tahan
as long as you on my mind!

(pre-chorus)
woah oh!
I'm a chong sua kinda guy!
woah oh!
You see I, PTI!

(chorus)
Nothing less than Cat 1
will stop me tonight
It just feels right
you by my side
10 mikes I pack up and come

even after last light
you are my sun
i cant be stopped till
the job is done
by nothing less than cat 1

(verse 2)
weekend cannot book out
small small thing also confine
see my warrant si bei kwai lan
weekday make me overtime

still i always lan lan suck thumb
dont complain to MFU
carry on cause I is dreaming
spending all my off with you

(pre-chorus)
woah oh!
I know you want me, dont be shy!
woah oh!
I help you pass your FFI!

(chorus)
Nothing less than Cat 1
will stop me tonight
It just feels right
you by my side
10 mikes I pack up and come

even after last light
you are my sun
i cant be stopped till
the job is done
by nothing less than cat 1

(verse three)
outfield, over, steady
back to camp, then feel damn saht
finish rations, shiok aleady
when sir say "exercise cut"

but for me, is not the mess break
helmets off or tiger beer
is not even my pink IC
girl, is you, wake my idea!

woah-oh!
One day we will be together
woah-oh!
but now wait for better weather!

(guitar solo)

(bridge)
If its Cat Three or Twoo..
I will be there for yooou.
I swear, I akan datang!
Only stop when Cat One!

(chorus)
Nothing less than Cat 1
will stop me tonight
It just feels right
you by my side
10 mikes I pack up and come

even after last light
you are my sun
i cant be stopped till
the job is done
by nothing less than cat 1!
(Sound of Sirens)
(Fade to End)

absolutely zero

5 Jason Mraz CDs  aint excessive! He only has produced 5 CDs after all..
Any MORE than 5, ahh, THEN I have a problem.

'Own Time Own Target' and 'Leave No Man Behind' are amongst my favourite army slogans/catch phrases.

of course special mention goes to "wake up your idea". and "one times good one". ahh so many priceless one liners. good days. =)

Writing a new song. similar to "blame it on the weather" with its heavy singaporean-references. more singlish though.


Here are the chorus ideas I was bashing about in my head before i came up with my final decision.

Draft 1
Nothing less than Cat 1
will stop me tonight
you'll be my light
dont need the sun
we'll just pack up and run

Another Idea
Nothing less than Cat 1
will stop me tonight
there is no fight
you are the one
and only girl that I like

Final Pick
"Nothing less than Cat 1
will stop me tonight
it just feels right
you by my side
5 mikes, I pack up and come

Even after last light
you are my sun
I cant be stopped
till my job is done
by nothing less than Cat 1"

Hopefully this decision makes sense once I complete the rest of the song.
wont be long now. just another two verses to go. and the chords should work out too.

foots recovered. running resumes today.

Soefie Adnin's Chocolate Cake Delight

It may appear half eaten on first appearance, but Soefie Adnin's Chocolate Cake Delight is nothing less than a full serving of love, peace and happy-disney-fairy-tale endings.


A luxurious helping of chocolate and a secret ingredient our in-house chef reckons may possibly be unicorn dust (though more magical), Soefie Adnin's Chocolate Cake Delight doesn’t just pamper the palate with its full bodied flavor, texture and aroma. It takes your palate on a romantic 5-day Mediterranean get away cruise where its every whim and desire is attended to, and its wildest dreams fulfilled every night, only to finally propose to it on the fifth day in a dazzling sea of fireworks and currypuffs . And then it starts to pamper your palate. Everyday. For the rest of its life. The first bite is love, and the second and third is a hazy blur of chocolate muffled noises and a chronic desire to eat more. But there isnt anymore. Because you just ate it.


When former clients of Soefie Adnin's Chocolate Cake Delight were contacted to share their life changing experience with us, a majority broke down in tears at the mere memory of the ecstatic euphoria they once reveled in.

"Why would you do this to me! Why, dammit!" Lamented an anonymous customer on being reminded of the divinity that is the Chocolate Cake Delight.

"The legends are true?” “Soefie Adnin lives?” chimed in members of the public during our investigation.

"Moarr!!" was all one particularly pathetic young man could muster between heaves of sobs and hyperventilation. As per his wishes, he shall remain un-named. But it possibly starts with a K and rhymes with Wenneth. We wish him the best for his future.


Truly, Master Dessert Chef Soefie Adnin knew what she was doing when she decided to name her concoction the Chocolate Cake Delight. For as much as it is a Chocolate Cake, it is the physical manifestation of Delight, in every manner imaginable.


To rate this master-class creation within a system of five stars would be an embarrassment and disgrace to any reviewer, for it would expose them to be the low-brow unappreciative philistines they truly are. Indeed. Here at RISHIK RECOMMENDS! we understand the fragile ephemeral and fleeting nature of beauty and perfection, and can do no injustice by trying to frame or make the grace and elegance of this manna comprehensible to mere mortals. The only thing left for us to tell our readers is: “you have to taste it, to believe it.”

But you can’t. Because we just finished it.

Soefie Adnin's Chocolate Cake Delight
Only available on request, subject to Soefie Adnin's timetable, mood, and how good looking you are

Ive actually made a real effort to not repeat any of the 7 locations across the 7 categories. with some re-naming and twisting worthy of landing me a place on the elections commission, I think ive somewhat succeeded.

I would have found you

Something I wrote in early Feb 2011.

Its friday afternoon

and a misplaced sun

has stumbled its way into

central london

by accident.

August Rush fills my speakers and

you know youre on my mind.

I welcome her without curtains

through windows like criminals

I welcome her with t shirts and shorts

meant for May, and maybe even March

but certainly not london.

I welcome her like a valentine

though I have no honest understanding

as to what feeling that simile was meant to imply

and i want to talk to you so bad..

like

I want to talk a nap

but your not on skype, and the last time you came online I was in the middle of a freakin lecture

the idea, image and metaphors of

oceans and airplanes

scare me

not for the space and distance
they are usually meant
to represent,

but for the fact that I dont like being in a fucking metal tube

thousands of feet high in the sky

and i dont like oceans
just because..
its a dark scary place
and the last thing i need
right now are more secrets.

so tonight im gonna try my hand
sticking to simple clean concepts. clocks.

i can work with 

time zones too. you know.

unromantic boring ideas

with little room for poetry.

or maybe its just me,

whos not poetic/romantic

enough to put a clever spin to these words

so clear and plain

let me try and explain

what the matter is

the matter is this,

your free to chat, but i need to sleep

and then when im home from school, somehow, its your turn to eat

the matter is,

people wish each other happy birthday on facebook

and im wondering how much longer I have to wait till I too can join in

the matter is

im waking up early to catch the australian open

im not home in the afternoon cause im watching football
there are movies showing in the cinema
which youd probably have seen
and which wont even be showing
by the time I get back
and thats just one less movie
im gonna be able to
ask you out too

and someday its sunday and your at church
and someotherday its sunday i wake up
hungover
thank god im alive at all

but but
but thats not it yet
the matter is this
the matter is time

that times is ticking

and days are passing

with these pretty girls all around me

and my thoughts a continent too far

distracted by the idea that
pretty boys are passing
around you
and making passes at you

and its makes me sad, cause its not fair
that I dont know you as much as I want to
that holidays and exams conspire against my plans,
to spend just a little more time with you
to learn to watch to get to know you
but i cant, not even pretend
that maybe, i'd stand a chance

ah sunshine..
oh sunshine..

i want to talk to you

so badly

right now

possibly more

than i want to take a nap.
