Gliding the car with charismatic ease, the stars formed a glittering array of moving lights. The breeze had such an uplifting feeling and, with him at the wheels, everything seemed so perfect. Taming the car to a beautiful stop, he smiled and got off the car.

Ever the gentleman, he unhurriedly rushed over, opening the door and holding out his hands to lead her out of the car. It wasn't clear whether it was the night which made everything so perfect or he who made it seemed it was another world. Then, he smiled again. How can it be mistaken? He was the leading actor and the night merely his supporting cast.

Walking down the stairway, he slid his hand into hers. She looked at him and he caught the gaze. Lost in his gaze, she quickly turned away, realising that she was blushing. On a night as such, there was no need for words. Everything that wasn't said was heard, everything that wasn't heard was felt.

The frolic of the waves provided the most soothing music, the sand running through their feet gave the most expensive carpet and the gentle sea breeze gave the most beautiful fanfare. But most importantly, his unassuming presence was her heaven.

Walking by the beach was never so unforgettable. Then again, every moment with him was always unforgettable. His being ever so perfect, that nothing could ever taint or remove its lustre.

Sensing that she was tiring, he sashayed towards a bench. It was there that they would get some rest. They had been spending the entire night together.

She leaned against his shoulders, he snuggled her tight. Warmth. Yes, it was that same warmth that he gave her when they first met. Many couples they knew broke up because the feelings faded. Yet, somehow, they managed to keep that feeling going. Theirs was an everlasting flame. There wasn't any secret method which kept their relationship going, it was each other which always made it right.

As she rested in his arms, he gazed beyond that beautiful horizon.

The sun was about to rise.

It was always his wish to bring his other half to watch this beautiful picture, this spectacle that no artist could ever recapture.

To him, this made his life all worthwhile. There was nothing more he could ask for. Nothing else he'd ever want. Nothing more he'd ever need.

One man all by himself is nothing. But two people, who belong together, make a world.

And he knew, for sure, that both of them, as a single entity, were a world.

Many people want to be rich. If not, richer. Or better still, richest. But, for me...

I just want to be able to watch the sunrise with my other half.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!


Merry Christmas, dear reader!!!

Hope you've gotten what you wanted this Christmas=)

Free

Free

The chains that have held me down,

Can no longer have me bound.

I have broken free from your grasp

That strangle which made me gasp.

You shall have no more of me

For I have broken free.

Those shackles that refused to break

Shattered under my tireless wake.

I will no longer be moved by fleeting desires

Nor flinch from endless perspires.

I have left this world of endless torments

And liberate myself from those mindless mans.

My heart has hardened from those tortures

My brain, grown tired from those lectures.

Yet somehow I still seem chained by those lessons

And still flogged by its mere presence.

Do as I will,

Do as I please.

Now my heart is moved by what's in front of me,

rather than what the world as a whole needs.

Taiwan

Taiwan


Haven't been able to blog for sometime, due to a spoilt computer. It's still spoilt but somehow i got blogger to work. Well... Let's talk about my not-so-recent trip to Taiwan.

I did ALMOST nothing else except eat, sleep and shop. I wasn't the one who shopped, more my mother and sister. Probably the two more interesting things are going to the hot spring and eating at MODERN TOILET. Yes. You heard it right, I ATE IN A TOILET. Ok, not really toilet but it's decor was of such. Oh ya! I kinda spammed the basketball machines, though i sucked at it.

Ok... I'm not gonna talk about all the trip details because it bores me, as much as you. Coming back from Taiwan made me realise something: I DON'T WANT TO STAY IN SINGAPORE!!!

To you, it might be shocking. But to me, i never thought i would want to stay out of here. A LOT of my friends either want to go overseas to study or just stay there for good. But i never ever thought of that!

I have been overseas quite a bit and every time when I get back, I'm glad. It's been like that from primary school through to secondary school. It's only this time that I've felt this way. You can't say because I had so much fun so I want to stay there because i was utterly bored to death. Perhaps, it was because I was bored so I kind of liked it. Time went by slowly. Nothing seemed rushed although we were rushing to get our transport. I guess I like, maybe even love, the laidback life.

It all meshes in that sense. I'm a very laidback person, taking things easy most of the time. I'm essentially happy-go-lucky person, living in the moment. So a slower-paced society will be my sort of place. Actually, I think it's because "I'm like an old man," according to one of my friends. I would agree actually because I move on when Time moves and never plan ahead. Even if I planned, I would never follow.

But this revelation puts somethings into perspective: EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN MY AGE GROUP HAS A DEEP INNATE DESIRE TO GET OUT OF HERE!

Probably, Singapore is like a pressure cooker for her people. And the most affected are teenagers. The intense pressure to be top in studies and activities, to have a myriad of achievements, to learn every single thing there is to learn and to excel in them. All these make up a teenager's life. If you're better than A, you'll be compared with B. This endless vicious cycle only serves to consume not only energies but spirits. Getting 2nd a competition might be a personal achievement but 2nd is never good enough. Teenagers are taught to do everything except relax.

What do i mean? Very simply, all of us are wired to compete, excel and be better than another. But, it doesn't take Einstein to see that we are often competing beyond our means. Venturing out of your comfort zone is good but working out of your capabilities isn't. Being unable to rest and recuperate restricts progress and society often prevents that. No one can accomplish everything. Instead of always putting ourselves down, we should take pride in the most littlest of things we have done.

In this never-ending rat race, there is and will be no clear winner. Instead of continually rushing, why not take breaks necessary? There is always tomorrow to complete what you have not for today. As long as relationships are kept, things which require clarity are clear and you managed to do something you love, is it not enough?

Live life to the fullest by doing things you enjoy- that is my creed. I am still trying to keep it in my heart all the time. If you've managed to this, is there really a need to leave Singapore behind?
