book club

today was the official launch of Book Club
Book Club consists of 3 members thus far
and we have great vision
to start our own book cafe one day
(with two internet stations available,
n walls displayed with one of our member's works).
but for now,Book Club is just gonna read
and discuss book issues on saturdays
over a nice teochew dessert
hot cocoa,lime juice and lousy iced tea at book cafes.
we're starting with fiction novels
then we'll move to serious literature
and one day,maybe,just maybe
we'll become book (and maybe movie) critics.

by the way,i put on some weight
believe it or not.
at the rate im gorging,
if i dont put on weight
there arent just worms in my stomach
there are camels in them too!
i havent weighed myself but im quite sure i did
i can see u rolling your eyes from where im sitting
but dont u rolls your eyes at me till u see me!
and when i say put on weight,
i mean put on weight,
not pam became fat.

innocence

i saw her reflection in the glass
right beside me she sat
upright on the edge of the train seats
swinging her legs in mid air
her form so tiny beside mine
her curious eyes filled with hope
she looks up at me,questioning
and i answered back with a look
a look spaced out with pain
teary-eyed,blood shot veins
i was once this little girl
now i am stained and hopeless
my heart and mind exhausted
why does living seem pointless?
time,take me back to where innocence dwelled.

beautiful girl

you and i both know
that the moments we share are brief
so i take each moment in my head,
soon after it occurs,
and pen it down in case
i lose it before i know it;
i want to see it again and it's gone.
beautiful girl, i've searched on for you
till all of your loveliness,in my arms,come true
i turn to look at you and
i find you're already looking at me
something filled the air in the car
i cannot describe
but i waited for that something to fill you too
that you may reach out and
electrify me with your touch
But
"you better go"
yea i better go,
goodnight.

somethings are better left unsaid

i shared a moment with u on the night of 13th july
through to the morning of 14th july
that will last from then till eternity
and like i told u
if i could remember just one moment for the rest of my life
this would be it
in the way it was experienced and felt

to share this moment with the world would be a shame
for the world would not understand
nor comprehend
the intensity of that emotion felt by the two of us
but the world must know i feel this way
so here it is in its briefest,most watered-down form...

no
then again,i cant
there's no watered-down form
i tried,but i cant
too intense,
too rich,
too overwhelming
somethings are better left unsaid

special moment

how do we remember so many special moments?
when new special moments are experienced,
we put the old ones aside
even though they meant as much,or maybe more
than the new special moments
(not that the new special moments mean less)

i wish i had a mental camera to capture all the
special moments in my life
that way i will never forget or miss any of them out
when i search through my mental bank

now,some moments that i wanna retrieve
from the rusty drawers in my mind
are vague and blurry
i see them thru smoky lenses
then i think to myself,
i wanna relive them again so that the images become clear
but i cant
still, i thank those who made new special moments in my life.

special thanks to mocha who made "breathe" moment,
which i wanna remember for life
and special thanks to black russian
who has made new special moments i.e.
"i think the light that bounces off your face now is nice"

happier now
