Part 2: Singapore Poultry Scene.

There was a show on arts central about singapore poetry scene a few weeks back. On that show, I distinctly heard the poet (don't remember his name) commented about the local poultry scene of being dull, and everyone only write about trees and the environment... Yes!!! The local "poultry scene"! He kept repeating that several times. You may think its really corny, but he really said that, unintentionally of course. Anyway I got inspired after listening to some songs on my mp3 player when I was studying and decided to write a "poem" using the lyrics (modified) from those songs. Its quite duh lah, so don't laugh too much okay? You'll find them familiar if you listen to English songs.


Modern Day Love Story.

shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
on a live wire right up off the street

He took a week's
Vacation to forget her
His girl took a weeks' worth of
Valium and slept

Her drug is a heartbreaker
His love is a lifetaker

By the time he hears the siren
It's already too late
One goes to the morgue and the other to jail
One guy's wasted and the other's a waste

Yelling at brick walls and punching windows made of stone
The worry rock has turned to dust and fallen on his pride

How long how long will he slide
Separate his side he don't
Don't believe it's bad
Slit his throat
It's all he ever

So, he can wait
He knows it's too late as she's walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
She heard you say
Short note: my right foot is hurting. hope I can still walk tmr morning when I wake up. its the same foot which I sprained a couple of months ago while playing bball. Ironically, it was the first time I played bball again on sunday night, since spraining my leg.

P.S. They are showing the Chelsea vs Bayern instead of the Juve vs Liverpool as stated in the Programme Guide. mmmmmm...... and the match has just started!

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

Resolutions 2012.

While my one-year-old is going for his first steps, I am also learning to walk (again). 2011 was full of ups and downs.  I was promoted for the 2nd time in my first job. Not fantastic but not bad either after six years. The challenging issues justifies for the few more dollars increment to the stipend. Murphy is my good friend. With only the final milestone left, I hope to overcome all odds and pull the rabbit outta the hat in 2012! If I am lucky, I may run another project.  For the consecutive year, I expended all my medical leave. After hearing my story, some may say 父爱是伟大的. Some may think I was pure clumsy. As my son likes to watch basketball playing, I decided to show him how to do it myself. At first I felt good, I got it plenty of shots. Unfortunately, I broke my ACL while chasing after the ball. It has been two months and my knee is still weak and hurts occasionally. I plan to go for surgery in 2012, while performing the balancing act of pulling the rabbit and recup...

The Last 24 Hours, Twenty-Twelve.

It is becoming a tradition. This is the fourth time for me. This year, two new companions joined me for this journey in the last 24 hours of 2012. As usual, is only for a few hours in the afternoon. But I like the sound of it, "last 24 hours".  It started out in 2008 for me, a ala    Eye é City . For the record, it was another rainy new year's eve. We started our journey at Thian Hock Keng, Amoy Street and ended at Raffles City Shopping Centre. It was interesting for me as it was my first time to Thian Hock Keng. This year, instead of posting the photos here, I have uploaded them to my Flickr account . The photos look better there as I don't have to reduce the size of the photos for this blog. I will re-edit the past photos and upload them as well when I am free. Who will join me next year? You can sign up now!
