Meals From The Fields

Food For Everyday

Grab the two slices
Just two not more
Wholemeal it is
Its your whole meal

Harvest the leaves
Greens of the field
Tiny roots of alfalfa
Tasteless yet rich

Black bursting bubbles
Could be orange if you like
Delicious caviar in a can
Munch it if you like

Spread it all over
Golden yellow is its colour
Melts like a flower
Adds taste to the bite

Here lies the secret. This is what I have been surviving on for the past two month to shed the unnecessary excess skin that i have acumulated all these while. Try it! It does work! No more no less, it's enough for the day to keep you going. Hunger won't strike. Stop thinking of food!

Sweet To Surrender

Blue savannah

Blue Savannah

Blue savannah song
Oh, blue savannah song

Somewhere 'cross the desert
Some time in the early hours
In a restless world
On the open highway

My home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you

Blue savannah song
Oh, blue savannah song

Racing 'cross the desert
At a hundred miles an hour
To the orange side
Through the clouds and thunder

My home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you

Well I'm on my way back and your love will bring me home
I'm travelling fast and your love will bring me home
Will I discover that your love will bring me home?
Will I discover that your love will bring me home?

Somewhere 'cross the desert
Some time in the early hours
To the orange side
Through the clouds and thunder

My home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you

Home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you

Ooh, savannah song
To you only
I send my love to you
Ooh, savannah song
To you only
To you only

Let Me Take A Ride

Polly

Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch

It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself

I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself

Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like some food
She asks me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few

It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself

I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself
Polly said

Polly says her back hurts
And she's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me, the will of instinct

It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself

I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself

Just Watch The Rain

Catch The Breeze

Feels like all the days are gone
Just catch the breeze
You know you've had your fun
Rain washes waves down

And I, I want the world to cry
And I, I watch the winds you fly
You can't believe in everything
You can't believe it all

Hey are you feeling something new
Just watch the rain
It helps in all you do
The breeze it blow
It blows everything

And I, I want the world to cry
And I, I want the sun to shine
You can't believe in everything
You can't believe it all

**
The breeze did blow very hard. The night was so much fun! Till we meet again! Yipee.

See Your Shoes And Your Spirits Rise

Friday I'm In Love

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love

Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate

I don't care if Mondays black
Tuesday Wednesday heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It's Friday I'm in love

Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday I'm in love

Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate

Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown

And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite

It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff

It's Friday I'm in love

**
The clock strikes. It's a new day. I'm so in love with Fridays, its the best day of the week! Coincidentally, it's Friday morning. Another morning. Another beautiful morning. It's time to brush your teeth, tie your shoelaces and put your make up on darling.

St Michael's brother is calling. I can hear him. But the station doesn't sound quite right.

Are you talking about Zeus' sister? Hmm, but there's no elephant there tonight.

Maybe we shall go to the bar. But none of it seems to be serving its customers right.

I'm don't need to rock that hard. My blog already rocks.

Let's just walk past the clinic. I'm not going in! I'm not sick!

Ohhh, wait! I hear the sweet melodious chime of the wind. That'll probably answer the call!

Should I stay or should I go now? Perhaps another time?

There In The Still

Waiting For The Night

Im waiting for the night to fall
I know that it will save us all
When everythings dark
Keeps us from the stark reality

Im waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel
Is tranquility

There is a star in the sky
Guiding my way with its light
And in the glow of the moon
Know my deliverance will come soon

Im waiting for the night to fall
I know that it will save us all
When everythings dark
Keeps us from the stark reality

Im waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feelIs tranquility

There is a sound in the calm
Someone is coming to harm
I press my hands to my ears
Its easier here just to forget fear

And when I squinted
The world seemed rose-tinted
And angels appeared to descend
To my surprise
With half-closed eyes
Things looked even better
Than when they were open

Been waiting for the night to fall
I knew that it would save us all
Now everythings dark
Keeps us from the stark reality

Been waiting for the night to fall
Now everything is bearable
And here in the still
All that you feel
Is tranquility.

**
The night is near. It's not far. It's less than a month away. Its a romantic night of celebration where everything is so tranquil. Shhhhh.

The Girl Next Door

Winona Ryder

Following her breakthrough in 1988's Beetlejuice, Winona Ryder emerged as one of the most celebrated actresses of her generation. Adept at playing characters ranging from depressed, angst-ridden goths to Edith Wharton debutantes, the saucer-eyed, porcelain-skinned Ryder has attained critical respect in addition to widespread popularity.

Ryder was born in and named after the city of Winona, MN, on October 29, 1971 (3yrs 1 mnth after me!). The daughter of communal hippies and the goddaughter of LSD guru Timothy Leary, she grew up on a commune in Northern California. Ryder's family moved to Petaluma when she was ten; following regular abuse from her classmates, who targeted her for her unconventional, androgynous appearance (she was once jumped by a group of boys who had mistaken her for a gay boy), she was home schooled.

**

If I have remained unmarried, Winona will undoubtedly be the girl of my choice. With looks and an attitude that mesmerised me up to now. She's just gorgeously perfect. You're in love with her? Ahe's single and available still. Anyone wanna try your luck? She's a dream come true.

It Is All Of These Things And More

A Question Of Lust

Fragile
Like a baby in your arms
Be gentle with me
I'd never willingly
Do you harm

Apologies
Are all you seem to get from me
But just like a child
You make me smile
When you care for me
And you know

It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up

Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Independence
Is still important for us though (we realise)
It's easy to make
The stupid mistake of letting go (do you know what I mean)

My weaknesses
You know each and every one (it frightens me)
But I need to drink more than you seem to think before
I'm anyone's and you know

It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up

Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Kiss me goodbye
When I'm on my own
But you know that
I'd rather be home

It's a question of lust

What Is It That You Wanna Find?

Wagon

There's a way I feel right now
Wish you'd help me, don't know how
We're all nuts so who helps who
Some help when no one's got a clue

Baby, why don't we?
Baby, why don't we?

There's a place I'd like to go
When you get there then I'll know
There's a place I know you've been
Here's a wagon, get on it Baby, why don't we?

Baby, why don't we?
Baby, why don't we?
Baby, why don't we?
Why don't we?

You won't see me
You won't see me

There you are and here I stand
Tryin' to make you feel my hand
You won't see me
You won't see me

I ring the doorbell in your mind
But it's locked from the outside
You won't see me
You won't see me

You don't live there anyway
But I knock on it all day
You won't see me
You won't see me

There's a place I go
But you're not there
And I'm supposed to know
How to get to where

You're gonna be
But you don't even know
So I'm flakin' While you're shakin' it
With every stone you fly

Without a mind, without a spine
What is it that you wanna find

There's a place I go
But you're not there
And I'm supposed to know
How to get to where

You're gonna be
But you don't even know
So I'm flakin' While you're sailin' off
Without a course in mind

Without a mind, without a dock
What is it that you wanna find

There's a place I'd like to go
When you get there then I'll know
There's a place I know you've been
Here's a wagon, get on it Baby, why don't we?

Baby, why don't we?
Why don't we?

You won't see me
You won't see me
There you are and here I stand
Tryin' to make you feel my hand

You won't see me
You won't see me

I ring the doorbell in your mind
But it's locked from the outside
You won't see me
You won't see me

You don't live there anyway
But I knock on it all day
You won't see me
You won't see me

My favourite track from the Green Mind. Stuka, it's right here! It's my favourite girl and the cool album cover. Where's my tee? Is it hiding in my drawer?

In The Back Of My Mind

Stuka

I got Jesus in my head like a stinger
He moves from tree to tree
In the back of my mind
A ragged shadowy figure

I got Him

I got Original Sin
I got Original Sin
I got Original Sin
I got Original Sin

I got a demon in my head likes stinger
He moves from tree to tree
In the back of my mind
I got a bad seed I gotta feed

I got Him

If you play with fire
You' re gonna get burned
Some of my friends
Are gonna die young

**
Especially going out to one of my closest 'music guru' friend from my polytechnic days, Stuka. His knowledge of music will simply put many of us to shame. We used to burn the midnight oil and frequent anything related to music, be it a shop, concert or simply just talking about it over at the atrium's bench in school. He has nevertheless introduced me to many different kinds of music and bands which I am still listening to up to this very day.

Funny isn't it? We listen to so much stuffs and you're glued to Primal Scream's song Stuka as a nickname while I'm a fanatic over their Screamadelica cover art . It must be Bobby Gillespie working on his magic wand.

The picture is what I best remember you for bro. I wonder if you still have the t-shirt around. You were wearing it so often back then. Must be your most favourite in your closet. I still have my favourite Dinosaur Jr (Green Mind-Smoking Girl). It's one of the nicest tee I ever owned.

Since I started this blog, it seems that there are many coincidences or merely things that happen when we least expect it (between us at least). We shall talk about it sometime when me meet ya bro. Menwhile, enjoy the words and thank God, we don't have to handle any of the Stukas out there. May we live healthily till we age with our beloved family. Cheerio.

It Takes Up All My Time

Let It Flow

Here it comes and then it goes
And that feeling takes me home
And I don't know where I'm goin'
Let it flow

All I wanted was a taste
Just enough to waste the day
Just enough to make me sick
Let it flow

And it takes up all my time
And it lays me back a while
Makes me feel like I'm a child
Let it flow
Let it flow

Here it comes an then it goes
And it hits me, takes me home I don't know where I'm goin'
And I don't know where I've been
But I'd do it all again

All I wanted was a taste
Enough to waste a day
Just enough to make me sick
I can't get too much of it

I Will Love You All The Time

Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space

Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space

All I want in life's a little bit of love
To take the pain away
Getting strong today
A giant step each day

All I want in life's a little bit of love
To take the pain away
Getting strong today
A giant step each day

I've been told
Only fools rush in
Only fools rush in
But I don't believe

I don't believe
I could still fall in love with you
I will love you till I die
And I will love you all the time

So please put your sweet hand in mine
And float in space and drift in time
All the time until I die
We'll float in space, just you and I

And I will love you till I die
And I will love you all the time
So please put your sweet hand in mine
And float in space and drift in time

All the time until I die
We'll float in space, just you and I
Baby I love you today
I guess that's what you want

And I don't know where we are all going
Life don't get stranger than this
It is what it is
And I don't know where we are all going

I will love you till I die
And I will love you all the time
Everything happens today
And we're out here in space

And I don't know where we are all going
Baby I love you today
I guess that's what you want
And I don't know where we are all going

Some Things Were Meant To Be

Can't Help Falling In Love

Wise men say, only fools rush in.
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin?
I can't help falling in love with you

As the river flows gently to the sea
Darling so we go, some things were meant to be
Take my hand take my whole heart too
'Cause i can't help falling in love with you

As the river flows gently to the sea
Darling so we go, some things were meant to be
Take my hand take my whole heart too
'Cause i can't help falling in love with you

**
You guys are extremely curious creatures. Remember, curiosity kills the poor little kitten! Anyway, since you guys are so nice, this one is going out especially for you, those who has been asking since yesterday - laughs.

This is the song I replied to my girlfriend (wife to be). Fools rush in? Not true actually. It took us only three months before we decided to get married (beads of perspire trickled down my temple). We did it and here we are now with two lovely princessess.

Is Here In My Arms

Enjoy The Silence

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world

Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial

Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

**
Ali I ever wanted and all I ever needed is here with me, my enchanting family. My elegant, beautiful, loving, caring and patient wife, the delicate Iman and delightful Erin. They always remain close to my heart and soul.

Wow! suddenly Depeche Mode takes over from here! What a perfect timing. Great words yeah! So guys, silence is golden indeed. Words are simply trivial and unnecessary.

Mysterious Origin

The dZI
dZI (pronounced Zee) is a bead stone of mysterious origin worn with a necklace and sometimes bracelet. Collectively in almost all Asian cultures, the bead is expected to provide positive spiritual benefit. They are generally prized as protective amulets. Dzi stones may have made their first appearance between 2000 BC to 1000 BC, in ancient India. Fear of the “Evil eye” was taken very seriously by these people, so they created talismans with “eyes” on them as a “fight fire with fire” form of protection.

The meaning of the word "dZi" translates to "shine, brightness, clearness, splendor". In Traditional Chinese, the bead is called "heaven's bead" or "heaven's pearl". Such beads were etched black-and-white or brown-and-white, with symbols comprised of circles, ovals, square, waves stripes, lines and various other symbolic patterns.

To the Tibetans, each of these symbols represents a specific meaning. They are precious possession to the Tibetan, with so many fascinating stories of its mystical power attributed to it. dZi beads play an important role in Tibetan culture. Tibetans believe dZi beads to possess the power to bring about good influence associated with protection, prosperity, attracting wealth, fostering good health and ward against evil. These beads were etched dating back a few thousand years ago.

While the origin surrounding Dzi beads are quite uncertain, it is socially accepted today that they are called "Tibetan beads". They are found primarily in Tibet, but also in neighbouring Bhutan, Ladakh and Sikkim. Shepherds and farmers pick them up in the grasslands or while cultivating fields. Because dZi are found in the earth, Tibetans cannot conceive of them as man-made. Since knowledge of the bead is derived from oral traditions, few beads have provoked more controversy concerning their source, method of manufacture and even precise definition. In Tibetan culture they are believed to attract protector deities.

Two Eyes Bead
Ying-Yang speaks of the important of balance and harmony. The symbol of two eyes represents Generation and Completion. As there are two sides to a coin, and various views to a situation, two eye bead remind us of the importance of balance which bring about harmony. There is seldom a situation, which is absolutely good/bad or right/wrong. It takes effort to built harmony among people, and the reward can be great. In particular, salesman and negotiators will find a two eyes bead meaningful. Balanced views, harmony, cooperation, peaceful settlement are what the symbol of two eyes represents.

**
I'm a proud owner of a genuine 'two eyes' piece of dZI given to me as a gift from a monk 'friend'. Have forgotten about it until recently. Had it many years back, maybe 10 years or so. Now it's safely hung around my neck for good (from September 1 2007) to bring the charm back in me after so long! Its not too late still. May it brings balance, harmony and put it's magical power to play.

I Haven't Felt So Alive In Years

But Not Tonight

Oh god, its raining
But I'm not complaining
It's filling me up
With new life

The stars in the sky
Bring tears to my eyes
They're lighting my way
Tonight

And I haven't felt so alive
In years

Just for a day
On a day like today
I'll get away from this
Constant debauchery

The wind in my hair
Makes me so aware
How good it is to live
Tonight

And I haven't felt so alive
In years

The moon
Is shining in the sky
Reminding me
Of so many other nights
But they're not like tonight

Oh god, its raining
And I'm not containing
My pleasure at being
So wet

Here on my own
All on my own
How good it feels to be alone
Tonight

And I haven't felt so alive
In years

The moon
Is shining in the sky
Reminding me
Of so many other nights
When my eyes have been so red
I've been mistaken for dead
But not tonight

**
I honestly haven't felt so alive in years. The endless rain has washed away the past. Almost two years to be exact. Yet, at the start of this month, a new life evolves, a new spirit grew inside me. The feeling is great again. I can feel it deep down my nerves and bloodstream. I'm so alive. The 'new morning' which I have been waiting for for such a long time is here again after such a long disappearance. Here I am standing with spirits high up in the atmosphere. I'm floating indeed. bringme down. Help! Help! Haha.

Now the words come from a quad who named themselves after a fashion magazine! The guys who brought me many friends and happy moments during my secondary school days. Not forgetting my good ol' friend, Adrian Tan from polytechnic whom I dicovered shared the same passion as I do. Let's hear it, presenting Depeche Mode with the best b-side ever created!

Here We Go

Shiny Happy People

Shiny happy people laughing

Meet me in the crowd
People, people
Throw your love around
Love me, love me
Take it into town

Happy, happy
Put it in the ground
Where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine

Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing
Everyone around

Love them, love them
Put it in your hands
Take it, take it
There's no time to cry

Happy, happy
Put it in your heart
Where tomorrow shines
Gold and silver shine

Hey, here we go!

**
To all my friends out there, may you shine like the stars, like the shiny happy people. Let's get down and have fun. It's a month of celebration.

I've lost another kilograms! Hooray! Fitter and stronger each day.

I've Found You

For The First Time

Are those your eyes, is that your smile
I've been lookin at you forever
But I never saw you before

Are these your hands holdin' mine
Now I wonder how I could of been so blind
For the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seein' who you are
I can't believe how much I see
When you're lookin back at me
Now I understand why love is.......
Love is.....for the first time.....

Can this be real, can this be true
Am I the person I was this morning
And are you the same you

It's all so strange how can it be
All along this love was right in front of me
For the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seein who you are
I can't believe how much I see
When you're lookin back at me
Now I understand why love is.......
Love is.....for the first time.....

Such a long time ago
I had given up on findin' this emotion..ever again
But you live with me now

Yes I've found you some how
And I've never been so sure
And for the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seein' who you are
Can't believe how much I see
When you're lookin back at me
Now I understand why love is.......
Love is.....for the first time.....

Something sweet, nice and more meaningful to you guys. This is the song my wife (then girlfriend) dedicated to me when she met me again after a week break for her holidays with her friends.

I have been out with her twice before she had to go for her planned trip. When she got back, I got a page (an equipment of the past!) and she asked me out again! I replied her page and she eventually picked up the phone, called me up and asked me out for dinner.

We went to East Coast Park for dinner that night, packed some food and had dinner by the beach! Ohhhh! How I missed it.

One song which I can't simply just forget so easily. It brings a smile to me this morning when putting this up.

September is here finally, the most 'charming' month of the year. The month that I have been waiting for all year round. It is indeed my turn now. Time to celebrate and breathe a new life in me. The Earth will be revolving for the 33rd year in my life. Not too many a times many would say but enough to rekindle the memories of the years that I have spent on God's land.

Plastic People With Imaginary Smiles

Love Is Dead

Nothing ever goes right, nothing really flows in my life
No one really cares if no one ever shares my bed
People push by with fear in their eyes in my life

Love is dead
Love is dead

The telephone rings but no one ever thinks to speak to me
Traffic speeds by but no one's ever stopped it yet
Intelligent friends don't care in the end, believe me

Love is dead
Love is dead

And plastic people with imaginary smiles
Exchanging secrets at the back of their minds
Plastic people, plastic people

Nothing ever goes right, nothing really flows in my life
No one really cares if there's horrors inside my head
People push by with fear in their eyes in my life

Love is dead
Love is dead
Love is dead
Love is dead

And all the lies that you've given us
And all the things that you said
And all the lies that you've given us
Blow like wind in my head

Guys, there are many twists and turns in life. There are ups and downs, mistakes and more mistakes. We must prevail and be strong to take the next leap in life. Brett's been down too, up to now I supposed. The album is dark just like he himself and that includes me. Always remember that it's what life is all about. I've leave you with these words "Intelligent friends don't care in the end, believe me."

Love In Her Eyes

My Dark Star

In a hired car she will come to England from the sea
And as the tide flows the London snows will come.
And from the skyline shines the lies of the government's singular history
So in a hired world she will buy a gun

And she will come from India with a love in her eyes
That say oh how my dark star will rise

In rented gear 2000 years we waited for a man
But with a tattoed tit she'd die for us all tonight.

And she will come from India with a gun at her side,
Or she will come from Argentina
With her cemetery eyes that say
Oh, how my dark star will rise,
and she will rise.

**
I was thinking of ending this blog of mine (many must have find this blog all confusing and lost). However, I was surprised when people come to see me, including those via sms and msn telling me why I should not stop this from moving further another mile. Well guys, I'm doing this especially for you out there. May this ever be meaningful for you and may your dark star rise...

This is the same title for my blog. A song which i truly love so much up to now. It needs no introduction this time. Let's continue this spiritual journey from here.

Yes, India has always been one of the places my wife and I want to be at. Regardless of Kula Shaker or not. And there's where I'll see her love in her eyes. Here it comes.

Like Oceans We Drift Away

Oceans

We sit in silence
A marriage license
Is all you know
All you know, all you know

We sit and chew gum
Watch television
And you know
And you know, and you know

But there's oceans between us
Light years that screen us
Oceans that drift away
Oceans that fade to grey

We sit and rot here
Resenting each year
Will you go?
Will you go, will you go?

We sing the old songs
The beat box plays on
And you know
And you know, and you know

But there's oceans between us
Light years that screen us
Like oceans we drift away
Like oceans we fade to grey

Between us there's oceans
There's life in slow motion
Quietly we drift away
Quietly we fade to grey

As far as you and I are concerned, Suede changed the rules of pop music and everyone else just followed. When they formed around 1991, "independent" music was something to be sidelined not celebrated - bands released EPs and gazed at their feet and being successful didn't come into it.

Indeed, while they may have spurned Britpop, their cultural impact is of a far greater significance, they represent nothing more or less than the voice of disaffected youth.

**This is where the story ends. It has finally ended and it has to end. The story has been told. See you in the next life.

Like You Have Been Today,
If This Was Never Ending,
What More Can You Say?

**
Tattva is a Sanskrit word meaning 'thatness', 'principle', 'reality' or 'truth'.

So, here is where the truth lies. One more post to the 77th and one more truth to the world of humankind which which will eventually wrap the final chapter for the month of August.

Time to chant 'Tattva' with Crispian and Kula Shaker for now. Be mesmerised by the words, which is considered to be the supreme reality and to have the ultimate meaning and value of existence.

May the light shines the dark pathway. May the dark star sparkles the night sky. May the disguise be revealed.

The time is up. The final revelation at midnight in one more night. One more night is what I need.

Let the journey ends where a large body of water constituting a principal part of the hydrosphere is. Let the leather with a soft napped surface concludes what needs to be affirmed. No one else but them. Just them.

I'm Still Around

Golden Glades

Your mind is strong
but your will is weak
And it's no wonder
you can't stand
on your own two feet

The past is gone
you can't call it back
That's no reason
for you to paint it black

All said and done
There is no one
who can turn your love to hate

Meet him head on
but I'm still around
And it's no wonder
I can't tell if I'm up or down

The feelings gone
I can't get it back
But that's no reason
for you to stab my back

When all is love
There's only one
who can free your mind of hate

It has never been easy selecting the last 3 of the generation. It's Teenage Fanclub who came forward this time. Another sleepless night it seems.

More things to think about. More stuffs to ponder. The world just makes me spin and turns me in circles.

I'm colder than the weather and quieter than the lonely nights. I'm grey out here.

You Could Be The One

Unintended

You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You could be the one
I'll always love

You could be the one who listens to my deepest inquisitions
You could be the one
I'll always love

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

First there was the one who challenged
All my dreams and all my balance
She could never be as good as you

You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You should be the one I'll always love

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before
I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

Before you

A hard choice but this is really 'Unintended'. The third of the last has been born.

I just can't go to sleep tonight. The surrounding atmosphere in here just drags me away. Here I am... as the clouds turn dark and the promises that the rain will bring. I'll just sit and wait for it to happen. I'm tucked at the corner of my computer room where it's so lovely.

The morning dewdrops has finally arrived to wet the lovely morning. I haven't had any sleep. Another day has arrived, the previous has quit and turned its back. It's 6.19am. The silent morning has proven that it is never trivial and forgettable.

**
If you have the time, listen to 'Untitled' which can be found over the left hand side of the blog under the same heading (Suede is waiting @Oslo Club and will do a 'live' for you.

Perhaps, you might prefer 'Song For The Siren' instead which can be found if u click at my 'Profile' page audio clip. Two different beautiful song clips with the same intent.

I'm sure it'll make your day a brighter one. Thank you for floating in this magical place once again. May we fly like the colourful butterflies amongst the wild flowers.

You're Always Brilliant In The Morning

Foolish Games

You took your coat off and stood in the rain,
You're always crazy like that.
And I watched from my window,
Always felt I was outside looking in on you.
You're always the mysterious one with
Dark eyes and careless hair,
You were fashionably sensitive
But too cool to care.
You stood in my doorway, with nothing to say
Besides some comment on the weather

Well in case you failed to notice,
In case you failed to see,
This is my heart bleeding before you,
This is me down on my knees, and

These foolish games are tearing me apart,
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart.
You're breaking my heart.
You're always brilliant in the morning,
Smoking your cigarettes and talking over coffee.
Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you.
You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones
As I clumsily strummed my guitar.
You'd teach me of honest things,
Things that were daring, things that were clean.
Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean.
I hid my soiled hands behind my back.
Somewhere along the line,
I must've gone Off track with you

Well, excuse me, guess I've mistaken you for somebody else,
Somebody who gave a damn,
Somebody more like myself.
You took your coat off,
Stood in the rain,
You're always crazy like that.

It's Jewel, the precious sylph at work! The way she utters 'You're always brilliant in morning ...' is so awww.... it can instantaneously turns a stone into dusts.

Well, I'm at magical number 74 now. 3 more posts to go before the end of he month of August to make it end at an inexplicable 77. Watch for the next three most beautiful words to appear here soon. One each day to curtain this month which was full of surprises, sadness and well as joy.

It doesn't end there. I had a foreknowledge that a 'Karma' is about to happen. Just earlier today, one after another of the words that appeared here was heard at different places and locations. It ended after the sixth one was heard!

The explanation of karma can differ per tradition. Usually it is believed to be a sum of all that an individual has done, is currently doing and will do. The results or "fruits" of actions are called karma-phala. Karma is not about retribution, vengeance, punishment or reward; karma simply deals with what is. The effects of all deeds actively create past, present and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one's own life, and the pain and joy it brings to others.

The first that brush through my ears was 'You're Beautiful'. 'Life In Mono' comes next. Then it was turn for 'Dreams' and then 'Everybody's Changing'. I was already in awe by then.

What followed me back home was 'Don't Look Back In Anger' and finally 'Tender' over my television set! Truly extraordinary. How could six of the rarest songs be heard all in a day? It made me gasped for air for a moment. What's next? I am ready and waiting patiently. Six down and hopefully the seventh heaven will take precedence. I cross my fingers for the good things to come.

This just isn't another blog. It's truly magical like it is supposed to be. If you can fathom the message, then it's great. Otherwise, you need more spiritual energy to get in here.

I Hide It Really Well

I Don't Want to Get Hurt

In everything I see you appear with me,
How come? How come?
And everything I do involves you too.
We are like one.
In my life there has been so many changes and I don't want to be left out in the rain

I don't want to get hurt, I've done my time.
All I want from you is to tell the truth.
I don't want to get hurt no more this time.

I don't want to go blind and find it's falling apart all the time
In the middle of a dream you are there for me, your face, your lips.
But there's no way you can tell cos I hide it really well, so well.
In my life there has been loving and lying and I don't need another reason to cry

I don't want to get hurt.
I don't want to go blind and find I'm falling apart one more time.

The Scent Of Magic

Listen To To Your Heart

I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
You've built a love but that love falls apart
Your little piece of heaven turns to dark

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you
Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do

I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yeah
They're swept away and nothing is what it seems
The feeling of belonging to your dreams

Listen to your heart
When he's calling for you
Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do

I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye

And there are voices
That want to be heard
So much to mention
But you can't find the words

The scent of magic
The beauty that's been
When love was wilder than the wind

Listen to your heart
When he's calling for you
Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do

I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye

The first Roxette song that I listen to and it captured me like a plastic sheet. I'm stuck to it.

The Sound Is All Gone

A Thing About You

I pick up the phone
I'm dialing your number
While I pray you're at home
At home and alone
'Cuz I can't function on my own
And I'll never stop believing?

The reaping is done
You are the one
The radio is on but the sound is all gone
And I wanna walk out in the sun
But lately that's been very hard to do

I've got a thing about you
And I don't really know what to do
'Cuz I've got a thing about you
Hey you

I pick up the phone
I'm dialing that number
And my heart like a stone
Waits for the tone
Oh I can't make it on my own
And I'll never stop believing?

I know what is right and this is so wrong
Alone in my bed, better off on my own
The TV is on but the colors are gone
And lately you've been painting my world blue

I've got a thing about you
And I don't really care what you do
I've got a thing about you
Yeah, you I've got a thing about you
I've got a thing about you
Lately you've been painting my world blue
I've got a thing about you
And I don't really know what to do
I've got a thing about you
Hoping this story cuts through

Washed By The Rain

Fading Like A Flower

In a time where the sun descends alone,
I ran a long long way from home to find a heart that's made of stone.
I will try, I just need a little time to get your face right out of my mind,
to see the world through different eyes.

Every time I see you oh I try to hide away but when we meet it seems I can't let go.
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a flower.

Tell me why?
When I scream there's no reply, when I reach out there's nothing to find,
when I sleep I break down and cry.
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away but when we meet it seems I can't let go.
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a flower.

Fading like a rose, fading like a rose, beaten by the storm,
talking to myself, getting washed by the rain, it's such a cold cold town.
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away but when we meet it seems I can't let go.
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a flower.

It Doesn't Help Me

She's So High

I see her face
Everyday
I see her face
It doesn't help me

She's so high
She's so high
I want to crawl all over her

I think of her

I Can Fly

Walk Like An Egyptian

The lastest batch of graduating pilots! Erin can finally flap her wings and fly on her own. No more painful and dirty knees. She can even bite an apple! Wow! That's truly amazing. Another day passes another new trick up her sleeve!

Look at the mess the flying aeroplane created! Run for cover!

Never Fade Away

Starlight

Far away
This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Starlight
I will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms

My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to re-ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms

Far away
The ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold

I'm An Air Sign

Sleeping Pills

Angel, don't take those sleeping pills,
you don't need them
Though it's just time they kill

Angel, give me your sleeping pills,
you don't need them
Give me the time they kill

You're a water sign, I'm an air sign
Gone gone to Valium, can you get me some?
You're a water sign, and I'm an air sign
Too Siamese to catch the leaves from those trees

Angel, don't take those sleeping pills,
you don't need them
Though it's just time they kill

You're a water sign, I"m an air sign
Pumped up with Valium, could you get me some?
You're a water sign, I'm an air sign
With sweet F.A. to do today,
With sweet F.A. to do today

Angel, don't take those sleeping pills

Yes, I'm an air sign.

According to astrological theory, air signs are the talkers and communicators of the zodiac. Typically they are supposed to be intellectual, analytical, articulate, and versatile – able to discuss just about any topic. Air signs are also seen as the masters of social graces because they enjoy socialising and are very good at "small talk."

They are often seen as so objective that they are unable to be practical and realistic. At worst, air signs are supposed to be so changeable they will not stay anywhere for any length of time, and so restless they have trouble with serious concentration on any single job they might be required to carry out. Air signs' role is seen as providing the ideas that make the future different from the past, whereas fire signs carry out the actions necessary for this.

In human relationships, air signs are said to be gregarious and extroverted, often attracting friends very willingly and easily with their charm and ability to communicate. However, air signs are believed to be lacking in passion and unable to form strong, lasting relationships; astrologers believe few air sign people are able to have a single marriage, for they are said to be as apt to try out new people as new ideas.

Air signs are also thought to be extremely lacking in emotional depth because they tend to intellectualise their feelings and generally want to avoid difficult obstacles that might be needed to hold a partnership together.

Air signs are seen as complementary to fire signs because they provide the ideas that allow the fire signs to carry out their action. However, it is often thought that fire signs are too flagrant and impatient for the air signs to tolerate permanently. Air signs are supposed to more or less understand earth signs because they share a basically rational nature. However, whilst air signs are supposed to admire earth signs' will to achieve, they supposedly find them too timid, pessimistic, undemonstrative, and cautious, and the earth signs, though attracted by the air signs' unique thoughts, find them overwhelmingly unrealistic and flippant.

Water signs are believed to be much too passionate and emotionally deep for air signs' flighty, flirtatious nature; indeed, astrology believes air signs hate water signs as too subjective, secretive, and illogical. For their part water signs supposedly deride air signs as emotionally shallow, excessively concerned with worldly pleasure, and uncaring towards others.

However, air signs will find themselves most compatible with fire signs, who share the similar traits of being positive, extroverted, outgoing, and fun-loving. Fire signs may not be as intelligent or rational as air signs, as air signs may not be as passionate or controlling as fire signs, but they can generally adapt to each other's ways, and find they have a lot of different traits to offer in fulfilling one another.

I Saw An Angel

You're Beautiful

My life is brilliant.

My life is brilliant.

My love is pure.

I saw an angel.

Of that I'm sure.

She smiled at me on the subway.

She was with another man.

But I won't lose no sleep on that,

'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful.

You're beautiful.

You're beautiful, it's true.

I saw your face in a crowded place,

And I don't know what to do,

'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,

As we walked on by.

She could see from my face that I was,Flying high,

And I don't think that I'll see her again,

But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful.

You're beautiful.

You're beautiful, it's true.

I saw your face in a crowded place,

And I don't know what to do,

'Cause I'll never be with you.

You're beautiful.

You're beautiful.

You're beautiful, it's true.

There must be an angel with a smile on her face,

When she thought up that I should be with you.

But it's time to face the truth,I will never be with you.

Specially going out to a friend who love this song so very much back then. Guess your dreams have come true now and your plan worked! The moment that you have been comtemplating and waiting for so long had finally become a reality. Life's beautiful, just the way you always wanted it to be.

The Choice Is Yours

Come As You Are

Come as you are, as you were,
As I want you to be

As a friend, as a friend,
as an old enemy

Take your time, hurry up
The choice is yours, don't be late

Take a rest as a friend
as an old memoria

Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be

As a trend, as a friend,
as an old memoria

And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun

The Exotic, Mystic And Mystery

Second Sight

The Rāmāyana had an important influence on later Sanskrit poetry, primarily through its establishment of the Sloka meter. But, like its epic cousin Mahabharata, the Rāmāyana is not just an ordinary story. It contains the teachings of ancient Hindu sages and presents them through allegory in narrative and the interspersion of the philosophical and the devotional. The characters of Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata, Hanuman and Rāvana (the villain of the piece) are all fundamental to the cultural consciousness of India.

The teachings of the Hindu religion or Hindu Dharma is to reach peace and harmony in life guided by the Wedas as Holy Scriptures. Hindu Dharma is a special blend of Hinduism, Buddhism and ancestor worship that has been flourishing over the centuries.

The believe in the Trimurti consists of:

Brahma, the creator
Wisnu or Vishnu, the preserver
Ciwa or Shiva, the destroyer

The search for a spiritual insight is here again. After much planning and delay, I've decided to sit back and relax and enjoy the breeze in motion. It must be music again which brings me to my next destination.

A mile after another I've walked in the streets. Temples of everlasting light I have seen. From the ancient Wat Po to the sacred four-faced Buddha, they never fail to thrill me. The journey continues to another part of Asia where Hinduism takes over.

Bring on George Harrison, Ravi Shankar, Lata Mangeshkar or even Kula Shaker and they will tell you how Hinduism fascinates them and their faith in the religion. The epic Ramayana and Hanoman, they'll tell you a story.

India it will not be this time. I'm not finished with the Golden Avatar as yet. Let the spirit of the Gods sip inside of you! Hare Krshna!

Seems Like There's A Hole In My Dreams

Elephant Stone

Burst into heaven
Kiss in the cotton clouds
Arctic sheets and fields of wheat
I can't stop coming down

Your shrunken head
Looking down on me above
Send me home like an elephant stone
To smash my dream of love

Dreaming till the sun goes down
And night turns into day
Rooms are empty I've got plenty
You move in right away
Seems like there's a hole
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams

Down through the heavens
Choke on the cotton clouds
Arctic sheets and fields of wheat
I can't stop coming down
Your shrunken head
Looking down on me above
Send me home like an elephant stone
To smash my dream of love

Didn't your bed and bookshelf go
And run run run away
These four walls saw the rise and fall
And your midnight getaway

Seems like there's a hole
In my dreams
Or so it seems
Yet nothing means anything
Anymore

A whopping pike i no longer am! Shedding over 2.5kg over a month is definitely something I have never ever achieved in any months even with that little bit of extra pulling, tugging and pushing. I don't prespire and not a bead of sweat trickled down my skin!

All of a sudden, I'm feeling lighter, better and never hungry. Breakfast and lunch is a nice hot cup of milo in a special tiger mug of mine, 2 packets of creamy milo chocs in boiling hot water. Dinner is definitely a NO NO with no questions asked! I survived and am still alive!

The great weekend was over. The waves of Asian Dub Foundation riffs still play in my head. How much i miss Womad! My sugarspun sister was all cool! Nice knowing Chloe too. The naan' was tempta-licios. Just that I had no appetite for such things anymore. Till we meet again for another cup of coffee sipping or was it lime?

This Is My Truth, Tell Me Yours

Everlasting

The gap that grows between our lives

The gap our parents never had

Stop those thoughts control your mind

Replace the things that you despise

Oh youre old I hear you say

It doesnt mean that I dont care

I dont believe in it anymore

Pathetic acts for a worthless cause

In the beginning when we were winning

When our smiles were genuine

In the beginning when we were winning

When our smiles were genuine

But now unforgiven the everlasting

Everlasting

The world is full of refugees

Theyre just like you and just like me

But as people we have a choice

To end the void with all its force

So dont forget or dont pretend

Its all the same now in the end

It was set in a different life

Destroys my days and haunts my nights?

In the beginning when we were winning

When our smiles were genuine

In the beginning when we were winning

When our smiles were genuine

But now unforgiving the everlasting

Everlasting

Now unforgiving, the everlasting

Everlasting

Hanging On To Hope

Praying For Time

These are the days of the open hand
They will not be the last
Look around now
These are the days of the beggars
And the choosers

This is the year of the hungry man
Whose place is in the past
Hand in hand with ignorance
And legitimate excuses

The rich declare themselves poor
And most of us are not sure
If we have too much
But well take our chances
Because God stopped keeping score
I guess somewhere along the way
He must have let us all out to play
Turned his back and all gods children
Crept out the back door

And its hard to love,
Theres so much to hate
Hanging on to hope
Then there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above
Say its much too late
Well maybe we should all be
Praying for time

These are the days of the empty hand
Oh you hold on to what you can
And charity is a coat you wear
Twice a year

This is the year of the guilty man
Your television takes a stand
And you find that what was over there
Is over here

So you scream from behind your door
Say whats mine is mine and not yours
I may have too much
But Ill take my chances
Because God stopped keeping score
And you cling to the things
They sold you
Did you cover your eyes when
They told you
That he cant come back
Because he has no children
To come back for
