it's just glass and glue

Trust.

How fragile that can be.

So many times when you've built it up,
it comes crashing down.

Today my nephew broke one of my porcelain boats.
i didn't get angry,
i was more concerned he might cut himself.

As i tried to educate him how dangerous it can be,
he just said "it's just glass and glue!"

Indeed.

I guess sometimes trust is like that.

It's just glass and glue.

That was what i had subconsciously known all along.
Until i hit 30, that is.
Somehow or rather the wisdom within dissappeared.

Perhaps it is a neccesarry thing.
To understand lost & lack, so as to understand gain & abundance.
That it is all part of a neccessary cycle.

Today, I am glad to have found it back, and even more.
So glad it almost made me tear.

4:45am on the PIE

The roads are empty
With a few red tail lights
The forests are asleep
As they snooze in the crisp morning air

A reminder of childhood
Two decades back @ 4:45am
A boy at the back of a pick up truck
Wind in his hair, on his face

A foggy morning

It rained heavy last nite which made this morning is a pleasant ride on the PIE
The foggy mists brought back nice memories of childhood
Where at this time in primary school I'll be running among the mist in the school field with my friends
Darting in and out of the thick fog
Laughing, running"

It's 4pm and I am sipping ice tea.
At Mos Bgr, it's become a place that's always comfortable, always reminded of the time when I worked here.

If I am on the morning shift, it'll be about time to change shift.
I would be starting to close my shift, start counting the money, get ready to hand over to my friend..

If it is busy and knnbccb like a hongkong turnaround, I would stay back and help out..

Memories went back further to the teens where I would sit for the whole day mugging with a large coke at Mac's or Bgr King..
But that's half a lifetime away.. (scary, hard to believe I am already thirty thr..)

But I also know, city lights are always prettier when you are looking down from the plane..
In the heart of the city, sometimes all one hear is all the hustle and bustle..

I remember the stress of those exams..
I remember the ?!()&";: that I would rant on and on as a restaurant manager..

I guess in the same wavelength, when I look back at sixty six, it'll once again be like looking at bright city lights, and the hustle n bustle that I hear now will be a distant memory..

It's 4pm and I am sipping ice tea.

Finding Peace

  • Mar. 16th, 2010 at 7:34 PM
kaze

Seems like i am always misunderstood recently.

Whenver i am happy there'll be instances - events, people, work, family etc etc that goes wrong and puts me down.

Like waves upon waves, no matter how strong i am, i will break down

Perhaps the world will rejoice at that.

Afterall i am just an insignificant small fry, no one seems to care and understand.

I wonder how do i evolve out of all this.

yeah, since you went away hasn’t been the same
in my heart, all I got is pain
could it be that I played a game to lose you, I can’t maintain
sunlight, moonlight, you lit my life, realize in the night
while love shines bright
cant let you go; we were meant for forever, baby let me know

this past without you, can’t forget you
letting me be, the cloud hanging above me
raining on me; missing your touch
nights get long and it’s hard to clutch
we apart; it breaks my heart
it’s all for the best girl you’re my world
in time my love unfurls
till then wait for you girl

声をきかせて     Koe wo kikasete
素直になればきっと     Sunao ni nareba kitto
分かりあえるはずさ     Wakari aeru hazu sa
ココロを開いて     Kokoro wo hiraite
声をきかせて     Koe wo kikasete
歩いてきた道は僕たちにとってきっと     Aruitekita michi wa bokutachi ni totte kitto
大切なSTEPさ その未来への     Taisetsu na STEP sa sono mirai e no
 


Wat's Up My Humanity

  • Nov. 20th, 2009 at 10:45 PM

I just finished my workout the other day.
@ 1:38am in the morning, Carl's Junior was the only place open.
Having got my food, I was crossing the road back to my hotel when she yelled across the road.

"Can you spare some scraps sir? I have not eaten anything."
I shook my head and walked on..

Reaching the other side, i was thinking i got an extra salad, and i really dun need so much food, i might as well pass it to her, the homeless woman..

When i did, she asked me for another 75c for the bus fare home.
I shrugged my shoulders and walked away..

Walking back, i was struck by a clash of my conscience vs my rational mind..

Rationality says hey, she's lying, u did wat was rite.
Why should u give to a liar??

Conscience says u dun even need 75c, why didn't you give it to her??
What has happened to you??

The whole nite i was bugged by it..
Why didn't i??
It kept running in my head..

I didn't b'coz i thought she was lying.
Why should i give to a liar??

Eventually, i realised something important.
That the way i think is a result of what i am conditioned of..
Since young, i am taught not to lie (which is a virtue isn't it?)
Even my chinese name reflects that.
It has been so ingrained that into me that whenever someone tells a lie, i tend to condemn them.

But something in me said, who am i to judge??
Even if she lies, she's just doing wat she has to do to survive.
If i am given her circumstances, her life situation, wouldn't i do the same thing??
Wouldn't i lie??

So why should you judge anyone??

You are not who and what you are conditioned with..
You gotta look deeper..
Something within seemed to tell me that..

I am thankful for the homeless woman for this life lesson.
