Hey everyone. Decided to post abit.(: Maybe i'll get the hang of blogging someday=x Anw, got yet ANOTHER poem for you guys. This one is miscellaneous. It's untitled, its original, and its copyrighted. Here goes(:Cross the invisible line of ambiguityLike a tested runner's feetFall upon this feelingLike dew to the grassIn the hazy dawnLike chemicals combinedWithin the confines of a flaskReacting to contradicting naturesOf one anotherSo chance upon the wild mumur of sparksThat ignites its surroundingsLike a wild forest fireNoMore like being the victim of a lonesome assasinWho is struck from behindAnd left ultimately helplessThis well of fireQuenches all feelings of thirstBecause it itself is so furiousIt quenches all hope of ever being thirsty againAnd the uncontrollable lightningTravelling faster than a refugeeStrikes hard on the groundThe earth shakesOnce the boundaries are surpassedThe eyes of this devouring emotion will never blinkAfter the magical masquerade of calmis taken awayAfter the masked ball endsSo will the fairytale of ignoranceThe tempest voices of sweet revengeWill concume its victimAnd last, forevermore, unquenched.Haha END!(: any comments? pls tell!=D ohohohoh and lemme tell, i wna write plays, be a psychologist, an animator or an artist when i get older. BUT! to be a psychologist, you hafta pass o lvl math! according to my present performance, i think tts impossible. (: i mean, ):received a present frm adeline, botin n imee tdy. Thankee guys(: i promise i'll definitely use the cute stuff!(((: And a pic from CNY(below).

Love yall! ciaoW<3

Friday, February 16, 2007 The Green Mile (TGM) and capital punishment. What's my stand?
"They killed each other with they love, that how it is, every single day."
TGM is really a show that has really got my brain churning. ALOT.
John Coffey, Del, Brutal, Boss Hedegcomb. All great people in their own special ways. They've left a great imprint on me. I respected them, i felt so strongly for the characters. The movie experience was so deliriously touching.
Today Mr Tan gave us the new subject for our blog posts. He blabbed alot about capital punishment.
Do people really deserve to be punished like in the show? Maybe not particularly in the same ways, but does the government have the right to take a life? That got me thinking real hard. Isnt capital punishment as bad as murder? No malicious intent involved, but WHAT HUMAN BEING HAS A RIGHT TO ELIMINATE ANOTHER?
Human beings are all made imperfect, some with greater faults than others. But who else has the right to judge than one who has attained perfection? And according to the cliche verse, "No one is perfect." And it remains so from the day we are delivered into earth, all the way till we step into our own "old sparky". ( an affectionate term used for the electric chair in the movie)
Capital punishment.
As displayed in the show, an innocent man ( a mircale of God's) was killed beacause he tried to save the lives of two young girls. Evidence was pointing against him. Race and color was a handicap. Size was a contradiction. Yet, against all characteristics, HE WAS INNOCENT. Assumption. Who will really know the true and extact circumstances of any happening unless he is a supreme being? We are but humans.
Although some times evidence opints to an answer almost too clear, what happens, then, when evidence is a red herring, a misleading bunch of facts that create misconceptions? Evidence, also, to its utmost usefulness, can only tell you what an offender did, not why. Reasons, pragmatics, logic.
Sometimes, human emotion takes the better of all these. Emotinos are unsually what makes a person do what he wants. Although it may not always be right, shouldnt everyone be given a chance to be a better individual?
Downplay the idea of capital punishment: Imagine you've done something very very wrong. You're repentant, you're filled with a sense of guilt and the desire for atonement, you're penitent. But no matter what you try to do, your parents (or whoever else for that matter) doesnt forgive you. Whose fault is it, then?
My conclusion then, ends with a question. What is right and rong without forgiveness and grace?
Another poem:
Just for you John Coffey
Lonely as a sparrow
Ambling in the rain
Wanting to make the world alive
Loving others in vain
Blessed by almighty God
Cursed by trecherous men
When then
could he show
His utmost worth again
He tried to save them lives
However time intervened
In the end
Another life
was taken
Twas was his
A silent panther crouching in apprehent
Tame despite account
He was as timorous of the dark
As many others were afraid of God
Cold tingling beads of pespiration
Line his musculine frame
And a sweet stupid nightmare
Could wake him up insane
He said he was sorry for what he'd done
He couldn't take it back
But what other daft men perceived
Was a vision assumed and mad
He could never ever forget
the sweet, lingering whispers
Of the two mishapped blonde dolls
So frail, so brittle
could not forget their wails
I'm desperately besieged!
Oh how i mourn!
For the loss
Of seraphs like you
You'll never know
Then
How much pain
Everyday, that i go through
For my lovely girls
I hear the cries
Of everyone
Around
I bemoan all night
In silent thought
Of the wreckage
all humanity
Has wrought
Thou timid, fidget in his build
Behold a mask
Of courage, love and miracle
That forevermore will last
He walked the mile
Sat in a pool of death
Fingers trembling
Eyes are pouring
With tears constant like rain
God have mercy on your soul
God only who has control
I love you son
You've done me proud
You can sleep for now
And when you wake up, you'll find
You're in heaven
So sleep and smile
Close your eyes
Abandon this earth
Open your arms
I know your worth
I'll blow a kiss
Of merciful love
So lay your mind aside
My sweet kind dove
Because i love you so
You're taken
And you're mine

Denise has just told me that the blog post is supposed to be about MY MUSIC not MY MOM!
(HELLO! ears! are you working!!!)
i shall compose another poem in the spirit of poem-making then. GAWD.
WHERE art thou oh ears!
when mr tan was talking!
Where art thou oh inferring skills!
When miss tan was teaching!
Where art thou oh brains!
What were you receiving!
Where art thou(ears) thou(inferring skills) thou(brains)!!!!
Anw,
MY MUSIC
a few of my fave songs now:
1)say it right- nelly futardo
2)sexyback- Justin Timberlake
3)Iris- Googoo dolls
4)Hero- spiderman OST
5)Tell me- P. Diddy feat christina aguilera
[ is five enough?] [ i dont really like e idea of blogging twice a day ]
MORE about my music. HMM. Well, i personally feel that the music industry is great and all, churning out so many great songs all the time, but the way the media has portrayed various superstars, well, it isnt helping the more talented but less physically gifted singers out there. Some singers have really great songs. But to many people, its all about the booty shaking and physical assets. Which is kinda wasted.
Come to think of it, not-so-good looking people are always given less priority than humans with blessed faces ): (OKAY. i am side-tracking)
Basically i like rhythm and blues, pop music, emo rock, ballads, new age rock, and dont mind the stuff that we see on MTVs. (hard metal is okay, but not when im studying.) (classical music soothes me, helps me to concentrate.) I listen to mainstream music, mainly. OH and chinese songs? hmm, i don't listen to them tt much, but its not like i have a grudge against my mother tongue or anth. ( But some chinese songs really sound cloned and identical=/ ) I HARBOUR A DEEP HATRED TOWARDS WAYANG and GETAI music. Please dont ever subject my ears to such torture.( sorry if i hurt any getai fans=D) And i love all final fantasy songs. (instumental)(beeeeeeeeautiful)
What do i think really makes a great song?
1) endearing lyrics are a must. They can be playful, meaningful, ironic anth else, but definitely not STUPID please!
2) nice melodies and tunes. Great music to empower vocals are great, dont you think? personally, i like melanchonic tunes that pull at e heart strings, but other than that, songs with a great beat and a unique sound, i liiike.
3) accoustic versions are nice. Especially when i feel like having an emo song day(:
Liking muse, googoodolls, nelly, christina,.p.diddy etcetcetcetcetc.
YEP and i love the music industry and all. TA-TA<3
I am utterly surprised at how daft i can be. really ridiculously daft.

Heyy everyone(: mr ben tan has given us the new subject for our online blogs. (DRUM ROLL PLEASE!) its... "MY MOM!"
I dont really have anything interesting to say about her- she's just an average mom who looks after me oh so well and i love her <3>
Hello Mom!
I really must confess
I didnt iron my teeshirt
or fold your fugly dress
Nor did i wash the dishes last sunday
When we ate
sushi, noodles, chicken
and chocolate ice cream on a plate
I know i promised you to keep
my handphone bill under control
But although a long few months has passed,
there's been no changes.
Think you know.
Sis and I
Arent exactly the best of pals
But please,
mom you've got to understand,
your nagging doesnt help.
I'm really sorry for all the times
I made you sick with worry
By saying i'd come back at eight
But ding-dong it's midnight oh shitty!
And mom
I really looove you cause
No matter how late i am
I'll know you'll be at the dining table
Waiting
To nag at me again
No matter how many times
i dump your clothes around
And push around my mundane chores
Till you've got a great big frown
I know you'll never forget yours
And i know
You'll always be around(:
