Free Bus Ride

Woohoo!

Had a free bus ride today.

Why?

Because it's Great Eastern's 100th Anniversery, so anyone who happens to board a particular bus (74) would get a free bus ride!

Don't believe me? Here, I will give you proof:

Cool right?

I must commend them on their brilliant marketing strategy though. Everyone who boarded the bus was curious as to why the ride was free for that particular bus. Was the machine spoilt? Are they supposed to pay cash? What should they do?

Then of course, the bus driver would say its a free ride today as it is the anniversery of this certain company.

Really.

This is brilliant.

Everyone who boarded that bus would be talking about it. A group of school boys i saw boarding the bus were absolutely exhilarated. One was even going: "Later I'm gonna tell my mum!"

The whole Singapore would know of it. Well done!

But I'm really glad. It helped me to save $1.28 today on bus ride expenses (I'm a cheapo, so sue me!)

Thanks Great Eastern, hope you do this on a yearly basis :D

A Mother's Pain - Illness

A Mother's Pain - Illness

Keening wails penetrated the stillness,
She turned and worried over the illness.
Her beloved child had taken sick,
Sweat on her brow made it slick.

Lips moved fervently in a whispered prayer,
My child is only one, not now, not here!
Frantic to bring down the burning heat,
Ignoring death that she was trying to cheat.

Silence reigned as wailing subsided,
Sickness fled under the care she provided.
Her child’s life was finally safe and sound,
She sighed with relief sinking to the ground.

A year has since that day passed,
Her beloved child was growing fast.
Soon speech to the child would come,
She couldn’t wait to hear the word mum.

Mama – the words she longed to hear,
She smiled as she wiped away her tear.
She knew that nothing had been in vain,
Her child was worth each and every pain.

Well, A continuation of the poem below^^

A Mother's Pain

A Mother's Pain - Birth

Pounding rain struck against cold glass,
Thunder resounding louder than the last.
Lightning flashing repeatedly across the sky,
Yet her spirit and joy was soaring up high.

The seed in her was growing fast,
Nine months would quickly pass.
Soon she would hold her child,
Enduring discomforts was mild.

As the months started flying by,
She silently bid her silhouette good bye.
A distended belly that grew each day,
The pressure that made her feet sway.

Convincing herself daily it was well worth,
She would soon lose her increasing girth.
Soon she could do what she used to,
As her movement slowed as she grew.

Eight and a half months have since passed,
She had to admit she wasn’t having a blast.
A nagging pain in the small of her back,
Pain giving her constant anxiety attack.

Swiftly the pain without warning struck,
On the delivery bed she began to buck.
Such great pain and so much blood,
To bear what had nine months earlier bud.

With a final push with all her strength,
Collapsing as it finally emerged at length.
The pain of nine months and the birth,
For her child everything was worth.


Well, I was just thinking of our mothers and the pain they had to go through to bring us into this world.

9 months of carrying the child:
1. gaining weight
2. unable to do many things
3. baby sucks mum’s calcium (leaving the mother with a lack of calcium later).
4. The weight of carrying the baby causes the way the veins look in the calves. (Look at your mother's legs as she grows older, the veins popping out through her skin are from carrying you for nine months.)

Birth:
1. Pain in giving birth
2. Fear of anything happening to the child (stillborn / child gets stuck / child is born differently in any way)

Bringing up:
1. Defiance / rebellion
2. love, punishment – brings pain to both to parent and child
3. loss – through marriage / death

During Old age:
1. some parents abandoned
2. children don’t visit often
3. pain and brittle bones – lack of calcium.
4. Other dieseases that strikes as they are at their weakest in life.

Well, this poem is only the part about the nine months and about the birth. If you guys want to hear more, i won't mind writing the part on bringing up their children and their old age.

This poem is dedicated to all mothers. (You can use this on mother's day or her birthday - it is really touching i guess.. But please ask for my permission first? Because I wrote this as a birthday present for my mum. So it kind of belongs to HER.. lol)


OMG.. tommorrow is my exams!! AHHHHH.. I'm still writing poems and getting emo T_T
{I am SOOOOO Dead!}

It's just human nature..

Human Nature


Blaming others for their nurture,
Never admitting it’s your nature.
The fault is theirs alone to belong,
You can never ever be at wrong.

Point your fingers to the rest,
Your Innocence you protest.
The fault clearly lies with them,
And it’s them that you condemn.

But in deep down in your heart,
You know the fault lies in your part.
You are not being immature,
It’s just your human nature.

Fallen, But i will stand tall once again!

Fallen, But I’ll Stand Tall once again

Lights flickering and shadows taunting,
Hopes dying and failures haunting.
Sitting alone in a deserted ground,
All around rain began to pound.

Failure struck its blows unceasingly,
Suicide beckons to me increasingly.
The sweet temptation to end it all,
The strong urge to let myself fall.

Maybe I should just give up,
Drink euphoria from a cup.
Joy from me had been stolen,
Depression to me has befallen.

But a light to me it called,
And I stood deeply enthralled.
Encouragements to me it cried,
Demons of my heart began to hide.

The light shone brightly by my side,
And the demons began to fade inside.
It told me to do my best once more,
Taunts and jeers I must ignore.

The world is for me to explore,
There will be a day I can soar.
I will destroy despair’s chain,
I will stand tall once again.

Well, another poem by me again^^

Hope it's nice^^

...

I don't know what I did wrongly to deserve getting scolded all the time.

And you don't even give a damn if I cry in front of you.

Seriously, why do you even bother about me?

YAY^^

I'm officially unbroke^^

Finally! WooHoo! (^_^)v
