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. :-)

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too...

Saturday Afternoon Routine.

I just got back from the Saturday tuition sessions. It has been almost 5 months since I started.I have two classes of primary school children, P4 and P3, taking Maths and Science, and English, respectively. It has become a Saturday routine. A energy-draining activity. It is somehow different from giving volunteering tuition. When you are paid, the responsibility seems greater. And if you ain't doing a good job, someone else is readily available to take up yours. The fact that I really need that money, I have to put in more effort. Some students have left, and some have joined. I'm not sure whether they left cuz they think I ain't good 'nuff for them. But there are some who seem really happy and appreciative to have me around. On my first lesson, I set the ground rules for my classes. I told them my expectations on their behavior. On boy, how naive I was. They are only nine or ten, they don't understand the significance of those rules. After a couple of lessons with ...
