30/10/2008 - THE MASTER AND SORCERY OF DIMITAR BERBATOV
Now, watch and learn from the absolute master of ball control. Mr Dimitar Berbatov from Bulgaria showcases mastery, dexterity and skill from a simple football; a stellar example to why soccer is the world's most popular and beautiful game. Showing the deft touches of the most skilled a dancer, the quick responses and movements of a F1 driver, and the composure of a well hearsed lawyer in the courtroom, he shows us how pure elation is sometimes mixed with jaw-dropping admiration, and mind you I was mightily impressed! So once again three cheers to Mr. Dimitar Berbatov, our 30 million pound man from Tottenham over the summer. Kudos to MANCHESTER UNITED =)
25/10/2008 - AVENGED SEVENFOLD CONCERT @ MAX PAVILION 24 OCTOBER 2008, 8PM
AVENGED SEVENFOLD IS THE SHIT MAN!!! THEY REALLY ARE =) THEY PLAYED CRITICAL ACCLAIM, AFTERLIFE, BEAST AND THE HARLOT, SCREAM, SEIZE THE DAY, UNHOLY CONFESSIONS, GUNSLINGER, ALMOST EASY AND LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN. they didnt play alot of songs though. like trashed and scattered, blinded in chains, wicked end, second heartbeat, dear god, chapter four and many more. haix. but they were dam good la. i went with cheryl yeo, shawn loo and wei liang. supposed to go with maw and his 3 RV frens. but they book out late. ah well. i sang until my voice went away. wished i could scream like them all the way. thats talent for you. the mosh pit was somewhat crazy, cheryl wanted to mosh but they didnt let her, i dont think she was best pleased.
they few hours were the shit best in my life=) adrenaline pumping man! wish i could play drums like the REV....
actually there are lots of things i wish for...
maybe its because there is so much i lacked or failed to possess for my own pursuit of a utopian life.
maybe my illusion of perfect harmonious habitation is a conjured ill-memory?
or perharps my besotted double-edged blessing a hindrance to normality?
the latter seems more precice...
either way,
whatever i did to uphold or held,
was and will be eventually washed away by the gentlest of currents,
where the tinge of sunlight on the sweetest borned memory,
will be cussed away in the darkest and vilest form of night,
as the plight is accentuated into a firm authorative voice of intent.
where once remembered,
is now forgotten.
a city of evil,
of torrentuous vuluptous predators,
feeding off wounded and weak prey.
the directionless..
the hapless...
the useless..
just face i man,
its not gonna happen..
i might as well drum away..
and accept my just plight...
and hopefully before long,
god will grant me that meagre bit of mercy..
a small victory of justice in my puntured soul and wounded heart,
and take away a life worth nothing more than the bare parts used to make it.
the hand that rocked the cradle,
has thy cursed its bare essential,
in an inevitable turn of the golden spoon.
comfortable,
probably inconceivable.
scream. scream. scream.
my life was left in the max pavilion.
it was never there before or after that.
and now im left with music.
entrapped in its small lease of life in borrowed time.
god grant me the serenity to accept the things i cant change,
to accept the things that pains but i have to shoulder.
i just have one request:
before u make me heap my last breath...
before my chest heaves its last gasp of pain in solitute misery..
before i walked my last steps in circular perambulations...
before i make my last wrenching regret of chained predicaments...
before i left the scence of my last sin and humilation..
let me feel whats it like...
to share the warmness of a soul,
with another i would be happy to live with,
to spend my life with,
to feel my void of adject artifical pockets of satisfactions and real emptiness.
to be able to feel someone ailing for the gift of touch and radiant interation.
words escape me as much as time confunded me in our last memorable moment of intimacy. thoughts cant pacify my insatiable desire to reverse the course of time, as fervent dreams parade through in fantastical sequences of fairy tale endings- it was either entirely fastiduous falsified thinking or a immoral consequence on her endeavour in a selfish demeanour. you know who you are; your signs of maturity in youth coursing through your veins as you ventured into unchartered waters; even beating age long cliches en route to a really touching display of emotion. i was too dumbstruck that day, oh alas i was far too much in lagging disarray, still clinging on to my immaturity, my slow transition to adulthood. on that day, that day the cake was given to be to eat it; the day the stage was set, the curtains rolled open and a fanfare being played; i should have took centrestage, and held your hand aloft to the heavens in nodes of bliss euphoric in pure joy. for a gem you really are, and i never met anyone so valuable and so priceless.
the day i seeked fresh pastures, i squandered a life of lush meadows of greenery.
oh ye fateful day, ill recollect till the skies turned grey.
someone just commented today on how he only realized how much he wanted something only when it was taken away from him. And now it seems nothing can pacify him more than getting it back. I guess its been the same old familiar story not just for him but for most people as well. Im no exception, with a two year regret still weighing down on me for the second day straight. Not now surely? Not when what i need is a new life a clear head and a chance to move on to something better. Surely not another one of those long lamentable emo sessions. But it just slowly but surely started niggling into me, consuming me within. And there is nothing to do about it but just let this feeling run away amidst faint hopes that she will remember the moment she gave me which i just threw it away with all the naviety anyone can bring. Honestly, its either long forgotten or long discarded, but that moment we shared will continue to plague me forever for what might have been. What might have been had i been not so innocent oblivious and young. It was truly a gift for me, and i was too stunned to receive it. What could have been the best thing to happen to my life became a what if in an instant. God lest she forget, if she does which is most probably, bless my little pathetic soul, ready to be purged by you into the oblivion. And then all will be gone and lost forever, and my pain will at long last be liberated.
it was the day my senses failed. A day etched in memory of lost love and time. The newfound bliss of fresh youthfulness kindled in unprecedented instinctal tandem. Summoning the amount of confidence as a testimony of modern time, going against the grain of generations of gender discrimination and prejudice was never going to be easy, and despite ample proof of modern degeneration of this stance her required energy and work was really very commendable. And so i live on to remember that fateful day, the day the norm was thrown out of the form book. My guess was my storied slow development of my youth, and or frankly i was simply stunned as a greenhorn, not knowing what else to do besides stoning in shock as the butterflies felt her arms around me. I was never prepared for that day, one that i learnt the hard way, with a slow painstakingly pang of cold regret, for it was served to me on a golden platter and i was blinded in search of another. Now that was a couple of years ago, but from then on, physics lesson was never the same again. And i felt like daggers piercing my skin how ignorant i must have been, and the pain of realizing the true value of a person was never realized to me. Till it was too late. The thought of what might have been, what should have been, but what was never meant to be. I besot myself a lost chance and an eternity of regret, and panned out a wrongfully shockingly abject dismissal on a bringer of love and joy. And her smiles continue to bind me in the chains of past, etching me in blinding light for what blindness i had possessed, empowering me in a realm of mystified envy and nullified remorse. What was mine to embrace i can only dream, and in my dream to make amends ill make sure its a dream staying put. And i will hold her hand and walk the path of the dreamers plane, till death till us part, or till death till us apart. I wish her the best of luck, although i don think she needs it at the moment, and i will await the day; and i will look past my burning wounds and the pains of growing up late; and i will finally lay to rest what my words escaped me a couple of years ago; whether for better or for worse.
Some people might think serving the nation is a catalyst for an excessive build up of testosterone filled lust ready to be liberated once freedom is ensured. I tell you most solemly, its really a time for quiet reflection, catching up with people while trying not to make them suspicious of wrong intentions, and playback life so far to see where the rails came off ready laid tracks..
And so i live in faith and hope from angsty seizure moments from time passed to another, in hope to express a delayed action i was too shocked to consider, and i hope it shall be understood, for only then; i can finally grow up lessened of burdened regrets. Lets hope she remember...that fateful day of first year semester...where I lost the plan and the plot. And i must let it be known, i had yearned to get it back.
and my strengths of bliss abode a limit, one which in time parted through accentuated cracks. like sordid weak plaster peppering damp walls, it collapsed in one cold sweep of realization. for others its a transition, for me its a circular perambulation. one where i cant find its end, and with it my fresh beginning. my last breath? my last sane moments of clinging on reality?
before it all cascades into a irrevocable desolate. ill miss even those thin rays of warmth in borrowed time. ill draw from it what necessary to surmount my grasping dying breath. its movements bearing down like chains on my feet. and ill live crawling till i die standing.
god, i know i have forsaken you. in many ways in recent times. its time to come home. for the dream is there to lay the foundations, and the bricks are there to be laid. can i lay them down finally? and wrestle away eventually my obstacles and psychological demons?
its time, to stand up and be counted. and be a someone, for someone, for everyone.
the tuscan sun earnestly set in italian backfall, a place of tranquil peace and dreamt aspirations. a source of hope perharps, of much possiblilty as stopping time.
fate. synonymous in turn like the rising sun, unstoppable, irrevocable.
how to fathom a positive diffusion? one less of insatiable bliss and delight, but of cosmic relief, and freedom from phases of temporary facades?
the irksome linger in the mind, the exhaustion tires every muscle and bone, but yet things stagnate in place and time, art thou paying debts on a previous life?
one of niggling pain and misery, one of rigid hesitation and atrocity, where all the dreams aspired a mere fantasy, is it too hard to dream of mere mediocrity???
a determined stance, a calming pretence, it will all fade away, haunting, taunting, manifesting.
its been awhile since i felt the need to recollect whats in sight. things have been in too much of a way for black and white. its just simply the way things are these days: hectic, mindless, and meaningless. its been that kind of tired pessimism and drowned sorrow that even to harp in its wallowed energy needs a huge effort to do. you really really want to feel the ascension again, that moment where you were on top for the world. for many its sweetness comes more often than others, and for the norm you get your fair share of those. thats why society is unkind to people who havent had their lucky breaks, believed to be evened out in the end. praytell, i hope those unlucky souls find a way to banish the overwhelming odds, and the relentless sense of helplessness: where the only way to taste its sweetness is in pockets of its adrenaline driven satisfaction, but all is known to be dark and miserable inside.
truth be told it was probably deserved what needs to be salvaged from created disarray, and it probably be a mountain to climb. at least the clearance to climb it has been done, but really the problem stemms deeper than what is seen. and even in nonchalant casual remarks that are as unexpected as yesterday or at the downturn of events deep down its known to start from deeper and furthur within, infesting the very fortunes from the very beginning.
and it is beginning to show. it musnt be allowed to fester but knowing it is one way to conquer. something must be done. something must stop it, before its too late.
and in order not to condemn the writing on the wall, lets hope the confidence and stance will rule it all, and fight whats hampered it to the bitter end. for whatever the outcome good or bad,
