i closed my eyes

i closed my my eyes

to see how life is without sight

and appreciated the sense of sight

i covered my ears

to hear how life is without sounds

and appreciated the sense of hearing

i numbed my tongue

to taste how life is without tastes

and appreciated the sense of taste

i held my nose

to smell how life is without fragrances

and appreciated the sense of smell

i wore a thick overall

to sense how life is without touch

and appreciated the sense of touch

i shut my mouth

to verbalise life without communication

and appreciated the ability to talk

i stopped breathing

to breathe in life

and appreciated the ability to breathe

i stopped thinking

to find..

i just cant stop thinking about you..

like how a moth would fly to that source of light

be it the distant moon that it will never reach

be it the reflection of moon in the pond that drowns it

be it the candle flame that burns it

moths will always fly towards light

just like my thoughts to you

Jazzies

Stretching

LEVITATION!

of Zee

you just cant help but to love the jazzies

sound

stuck two earplugs into my ears

and found the world going silent on me

saw the construction excavator cross my line of sight

without the usual annoying sound pollution

that never fails to leave a bitter taste in the mouth

as it rudely wakes me up on weekend mornings

saw "Lucky" playing on my iTunes

without the melodious tunes getting heard

could only imagine how it would have sound

if these earplugs were not on

walked down the street

with numerous people walking on the busy street

with not a single sound

with that eerie yet awkward silence that tingles the goosebumps

someone bumped me from the back

glared at that poor guy

only to remember that he said the "Excuse me" that wasn't heard by me

what's a world without sound?

i smiled as i unplugged the earplugs

and heard you say "Hello!"

STOMP 09

amazing coordination

amazing genre of music

amazing crowds

made esplanade hall come alive

liken to that you will see in a live concert

Mid Autumn

of mooncakes and lanterns

astonishment at the difficulties in finding a couple of lanterns

and a few packets of sparklers

panic as fumes fills the room

laughter follows

the lanterns illuminate to a beautiful comforting glow

emitting soft warmth from within

lanterns were never special themselves

always requiring that correct chemistry

of a candle, and that spark

to start the flame going and growing

let the candle burn

don't let the flame extinguish

lets keep this beautiful sight and touch

of the unification of

a simple lantern, candle and spark

monkey stalked me

pet owners would agree that pets, in fact, understand what humans say

despite their inability to comprehend the very language that we speak

english, mandarin or hokkien

there were already many instances whereby monkey had proven herself

to have the ability to comprehend human language

this was what happened yesterday

5.30pm (her usual walk time)

monkey : whimpers*, attract attention, sits in between my legs,

looks at me as if her neck had solidified

me : oh no.. i am lazy.. hmm.. monkey.. later la..

i bring you out at night okie? just not now.. now i busy doing work ok?

630pm - i went out

9pm - i came back and guess what.. during this period is her most inactive want-to-sleep time.. so she is usually inactive.. just lying down.

monkey : stares hard

me : ignore, watch tv

and then.. MONKEY STALK ME wherever i go! i went to the kitchen, she followed. i went to the toilet, she followed. i went to the storeroom, she followed..

what a scary dog.. lol.. and i was kindna forced to bring her out for a walk.. :/

sigh

dont you just hate nights like these?

when it hits you when you need your sleep most

only to find yourself awake in the middle of the night

afraid to sleep

afraid of that uncontrollable insane scratching

these are times where you still hate that you were born with it

damn itch
