Good Morning, Hypocrite
Seems like the roads stretch out like veins, but there’s no heart
Nature’s haircut is concrete now, and we played our part
So we sing
I’ve lost my taste for modern things. They’re not for me
I want mundane: a quiet place, where time is free,
And I can sing
Climbed from my bed, to collect the thoughts that’d fallen from my head,
And you watched me sink, through the carpet, through the basement, and beyond
And you didn’t blink
Our heads, our hands, our brains, our lungs: they’re just machines
These hearts are all that we’ve got left, and they don’t beat
Live a little, talk a lot; it’s the way this goes
I’ve come to fear the little knives beneath their well-pressed clothes
Their arms are reaching; reach is spreading through the neon glow
Their mouths are moving, but their voices sound like telephones
The traffic hums; the traffic grumbles near my old window
The street lights flicker; glow and hover like suspended snow
I used to watch the moon retreat and wonder where it goes
Now I just wonder why my head is overrun with ghosts

Just take the fall
So I’m down with a fever, among other things.. Feeling really woozy right now. At least I managed to get a 2-day MC to cover Monday and Tuesday, so that’s good.. And besides, I have 8 pages of writing due tomorrow, of which I have yet to start on. An “extension” of 2 days is probably a good thing, right?
Anyway, I had intended to give up meat for 40 days for Lent. Guess what? I was force-fed meat today, because apparently sick people need “nutrients” from meat. So there you go. Life sux. I was going so well! This morning, the Doctor told me that I’m now required to lay off dairy products for a week. Simply put it, this means: no latte, no curry, no cheese(!), no milk. What’s life worth living for now?
You’ve probably heard me say this more than once but.. Yeah, I’m broke. I was telling Mayyin that we now have to sacrifice Starbucks’ for Ya Kun’s. Obviously I’m lying. Because I had a Venti Americano last night. Ha ha ha. Quitting the usual routine of patronizing Starbucks is seriously tough.. I don’t even know why, when their coffee isn’t even that good. Ok since quitting Starbucks is out, I guess I’ll.. Er, survive on $1.90 double cheeseburgers? I doubt I can do it. Instead, I should rob a bank. Who’s with me!?
I’m probably going to die from staying at home consecutively for 3 days. Especially when all the movie channels are gone (“No one” watches them according to my Dad. Great — So now I’m “no one”, because I actually do watch them). Someone ask me out for Crystal Jade dinner, quick! I have this insane craving for the salt and pepper tofu from there.. Or Soup Restaurant. I wouldn’t mind either.

Maybe this time
One by one / We close our eyes / And turn to / As a thousand nights go by

Title And Registration
I was searching for some legal document
As the rain beat down on the hood
When i stumbled upon pictures i tried to forget
And that’s how this idea was drilled into my head
Cause it’s too important
To stay the way it’s been
There’s no blame for how our love did slowly fade
And now that it’s gone it’s like it wasn’t there at all
And here i rest where disappointment and regret collide
Lying awake at night
There’s no blame for how our love did slowly fade
And now that it’s gone it’s like it wasn’t there at all
And here i rest where disappointment and regret collide
Lying awake at night (up all night)
When i’m lying awake at night

Marmalade Fires
Home on a Saturday feels good. I woke up at 4pm (from my much deserved rest) and felt hungry. Guess what I did! I phoned KFC delivery and ordered a Zinger Burger with Cheese, 2 piece Chicken Meal and Popcorn Chicken — only because I didn’t know you had to have a minimum order of $12. Did I mention that I finished everything (except the coleslaw ew) within a span of 15 minutes? Nasty.
Oh, and remember me wanting to stretch my earlobes? Yesterday I ingeniously attempted to stretch it to 3mm at one shot and it bled. Quite a lot. Succeeded though — now it just hurts. 1-2 more weeks to 6mm! And then to 8. And then to 10. And finally to 1/2-3/4 (still debating) of an inch. So stoked. I’d do a dermal punch if I had the guts to, but I don’t, sadly. I also want an industrial piercing..
And like I told Mayyin, these are the books I wouldn’t mind receiving:
- The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
- Plath: Poems
- The Fragile Absolute by Zizek
- Life of Pi by Yann Martel
- Mistakes in the Background by Laura Dockrill
- The Interrogation by J.M.G Le Clezio
- The Lies That Build a Marriage by Suchen Christine Lim
Thank You very much. Now I’m off to complete a couple of journal entries and a short-story for school.. Gonna complete The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera too. Stay gold.
