    Hatred is a curve blade. The harm we do to others, we also do to ourselves.

    i tell you, some ppl argue for the sake of arguing.

    john, I'm sorry for your father's passed. This, would be the secret JKF files and much appreciated for sharing.

    I am, on the other hand, working on a poem in memory of my grandpa. The one who never give up on me, and brought me out of autism. It's been a decade since his passed, and he was never lost because I have always remember him.

    I had attempted to make my project in memory of him - a 1 min 30 sec animation clip of the 5 years he was with me, raised me up and discipline me. But I can't, because I realised that his love shone on me through the years was far more than that, every moment is important. No short cut to it.

    You know, a person will never be loss because he will always be in your memory, living in your memory. Take care, friend.

    To my friend. He has had a rough life and I admire his strength and bravery. Even though you will probably never find this poem have a great Valentines Day!


    What Can I Do, Except Cry With You?

    I see you standing in the rain.

    I see your brown eyes full of pain.

    I reach out to touch you

    To smile and to comfort you,

    To tell you that it's okay

    To make all of the pain go away.

    I try to laugh, to see you smile,

    To know that my efforts were worthwhile.

    But how can I bring them back?

    Your best friend, your sister this world now does lack.

    But what can I do?

    Except cry with you.

    Default Something's gotta give

    It wasn't the whole of me but part of it.
    I gave up my luxury to help a cause,
    a cause which I find more rewarding.

    It wasn't a give by my hand yet by my heart.
    From you, a hearted Thank you means so much.

    I know my enjoyment of luxury can come later.
    For your sufferings and distress are what matters.

    This is definitely not the last but the least,
    I will continue, to chip-in financially bit by bit.
    For I want you, my friends, to live in peace.
    I will, in future, do all with my given power,
    to make sure you live sheltered and not in fear.
    This is a little something I've gotta give.
    What can I say? I'm still standing! No weapon against me shall prosper! I am more than a conqueror!!!

    Default Death is the only certainty in life (besides taxes)

    For everything there is a season,
    And a time for every matter under heaven:
    A time to be born, and a time to die;
    A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
    A time to kill, and a time to heal;
    A time to break down, and a time to build up;
    A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
    A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
    A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
    A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
    A time to seek, and a time to lose;
    A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
    A time to tear, and a time to sew;
    A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
    A time to love, and a time to hate,
    A time for war, and a time for peace.

    These are obviously not my words, but some words found when I was trying to find the right words to console a friend who is losing two dearest family members to death.

    I'm speechless, not knowing the right words to say, to console as i have little knowledge about the whole incident. Yet, I'm all willing to extend a shoulder for this friend to cry on.

    Exams,
    Gripping and senseless,
    Induces endless nights,
    Producing nightmare and sweats,
    Cussing swear words,
    and i swot again.

    Default A New Hope - feeling like a Winner

    To reduce the nervous mood in me for a new start of tomorrow, I recite...

    Prologue:

    Like in ancient Chinese culture, there's such a saying:
    "It's time to leave the mountain after enough years of training"
    A neat letter of resignation was handed over to my boss then.

    Under a state of peace, it was, that I did the handover - and realistically the wisest way.
    That should be the way, I feel, and playing with emotions is just irrational.

    In a new field of game, I'll face.
    I hold my gut as I'll be stepping into a new arena.
    A different ballgame, I reckon.
    A different company of people.
    A different protocol of communication.
    A different working style.
    A different environment.
    All different, and for sure I know, never do I need to be a partime office technician anymore (No more!).

    It feels like setting my foot into a new path of greenery,
    and breathe in a total fresh breath of air - my brain revives.

    Liaising with new group of people of a different level,
    like attempting to make new friends....
    with maybe facing some lingo problem....

    In need to go separate ways with the depressive side of me,
    due to the draining length of time in my ex-workplace,
    and empty promises of better renumeration package,
    to revive the vibrant and heartedly cheerful me.
    With this change, I felt like my brain cells will revived from a long, long period of hibernation.

    I can't deal with a team that frequently loses its teamwork,
    like a handful of sand scattering off my gripping palm.

    I can't deal with a boss who frequently loses his mind,
    as guy yet uncontrollably moodswinging and gives inconsistent instructions.

    I can't be the co-ordinator of anything and everything in office,
    and certainly no more spyhard.

    I am sick and tired of being a foolish hardworker,
    with no purposes of a better future.

    On an emotional note,
    it was nice to have received phone-text from my ex-co-workers with a sad "Goodbye",
    and "Don't know how to deal with a Monday without your humour".

    With mixed emotions,
    I returned my "Take Care", "We'll catch up sometime"
    and "I've left behind 2 packs of instant black coffee just for you as memorance".

    Bring on the challenge tomorrow!

    P/s: Alas! I shall miss the times of clowning around in office whereby during breaks, I hold up a broomstick like a guitar, singing aloud yet out-of-tune.

    A non-violence poem.

    The Faces of Hatred

    The faces of hatred, lonely and cold
    We're straight to the point, no lies to be told
    You're not like us so you're better off dead
    Our hearts are black and our hands dyed red
    We breathe in pain and we exhale hate
    We're in the right, there is no debate
    We cleanse the world of useless things
    It's of a greate rnation we do sing
    Women, cripples, children too
    Make us sick because they're one of you
    We torture, we kill, we have no shame
    It's all part of our twisted game
    Throughout history we leave our mark
    We leave the pages burnt and dark
    Our tales of triumph, our tales of glory
    Trails of their blood lead our sick story
    Over and over there will never be peace
    Until you die, until your life shall cease
    And now, finally, your punishments due
    For, we, the great heroes will eliminate you
    "I'd call you a genius... but I'm in the room."
    -Doctor Who

    A poem with words of impact! Good poem, GX Jr.


    sleepless night for me
    excitement within, perhaps
    feels complicated

    i need to relax
    i am so feeling restless
    stupid back aching
    What can I say? I'm still standing! No weapon against me shall prosper! I am more than a conqueror!!!

    Default what would you get with Haiku + Poem?

    As I watch the skies....

    When was the last time?
    You and I, sat side by side
    enjoying our meal

    shy as I can be
    yet wanting to meet again
    just to exchange smiles

    you have know me well
    you would be the one talking
    while me listening

    you play tease on me
    calling me the Silent One
    and you? Talkative~

    it doesn't matter
    if you would be work-ranting
    you have my support.

    with your company
    I treasure every moment
    here wholeheartedly

    Default Regrets

    Foolishness rode into my path, it's mocking at me.
    Regrets written all over my face, I can't quit sighing.

    Why is it that only to look back then I noticed.
    Notice of a chance I've missed to draw closer to you.

    It's carelessness that had caused me.
    Unaware that I was given some hints.

    Regrets, to only wish one could turn back time, get it all undone.
    Regrets, to only go back to the past, be brave and out to confess.

    These all must be seemly the same old words of regret.
    The familiar remorsefulness that every civilian possess.

    I am nothing but another human being in the streets.
    Probably more confused and having a brain like fleas.

    Forgive me for indecisiveness that made me stepped back.
    As I had ever consider, it's the truth that would caused us.
    What can I say? I'm still standing! No weapon against me shall prosper! I am more than a conqueror!!!

    Default A chapter closed

    A chapter closed, and we moved on.
    Going separate ways, and no longer cling on.
    Was it nothing at all? Did promises turned into dust?
    This fairytale about us has gone with the wind.

    Finally, I can pursuit my happiness, as you've seemly done so.
    Thinking I can be at ease, I hope you'll be safe, settled and happy.
    Thank you for a walk to remember, though it's now all vague memories.
    From this walk, I know what I want, and how I should be.

    So many things happened, so much I wished to tell.
    In parts of my life that you weren't there, yet I want to share.
    Hoping to ask for your opinion, and wanting to share your views.
    Does it still matter? Or should words be left unsaid.

    I'd still deliver my promise - the long awaited mail.
    If you ever wished to find me, I'll be around - a friend for you.
    And a friendship is all I could offer.

    or is it mean to live;

    Hilarious haiku, ah? I have a semi-hilarious one...maybe, but not haiku, yet more like, poems.....

    Here goes:-

    Fur "Don't Bother to Ask!".

    No sweet callings to get you all mushy and hair-stand.
    By my observation, I found this nick uniquely fits you.
    Laugh away crazily and playfully kick my butt,
    I've decided to call you "Don't Bother to Ask!".
    Not only is it an adorable pet phrase of yours,
    it also shows your interesting direct approach.

    Now, we seems at a cold war,
    but I've never built up an ice wall.
    Yet looking forward to your call.

    Wondering what is in your mind.
    Are you needing space and time?
    What are you going through?
    Are you still in a hell of a time?

    Has this all come to end?
    Painfully sigh at the picture of us,
    grinning wide and happily holding hands.
    Meanwhile, time please help me heal,
    from this loss, regain from tear and weary,
    from once mine "Don't Bother to Ask!"

    I wrote a poem.

    Running in a Circle


    Running in a circle,

    Almost out of ground

    Digging deeper ditches,

    And falling farther down

    Past hatchets long since buried,

    And memories left to rot

    Were what was once important

    All amounts to naught

    Blinding sky of the forgotten

    Consuming all my light

    Futile thoughts, unwanted

    Keep me awake all night

    And when every word is spoken,

    When all is said and done

    I realize one most simple fact

    False hope’s better than none
    "I'd call you a genius... but I'm in the room."

    It's been awhile, and I'm back, GX (:, with my inspiration.

    Words left unsaid

    "I want you to know the little secret in my heart.
    I want you to know how much you meant to me.
    I want you to know when you're sad, my world goes down too.
    I want you to know when you fall ill, I'll find the solution to counter your sickness.
    I want you to know why am I always speechless before you when there's so much I'm trying to say.
    I want you to know why am I always avoiding your eyes when I actually noticed you're looking at me.
    I want you to know what fills me with courage to go on when everything seems to come against me.
    I want you to know what is the name of my fuel that charges and power me up when my patrol goes low. - That's you, my Blue Sky.
    Maybe I can never express the deepest in me, when it doesn't matter as long as you're happy even if we won't be." - Remember Cedric
