I've been wanting to change for so long
My cowardice's getting to me
I'm such a scaredy cat
You'd think such a loser as I
Would have been dead a long time ago
BUT no..i'm still very much alive

How much alive?
Look at me and u'd noe
I'm more of a walking dead
Better off dead than alive

I talk BIG
I talk about wanting liberation and freedom
BUT do I have the nerve to play the game
When the time comes?

No one knows
What I do know is I dun have the balls
To play that is
Something is always pulling me back
I duno if there really is sth
Something like obligations and commitment
Or is it just an excuse to escape?
I look at myself in the mirror everyday
And all I see is a shell

I listen to what I say to others
And all I hear is hypocrisy
I try to remember all my actions
And all I can feel is my silliness
Who am I really?
Even I myself duno
I'm so lost and confused
There are so many 'mes'

I no longer noe
Which is the REAL me anymore

Sometimes I think I'm so selfish
I only think about 'me'
What about the others around me?
Dun they count?
I look in my heart and all I find is darkness
I look in my mind and I find emptiness
I look at myself and I find
A shitload of crap
My past is full of might-have-beens
My present is full of what the hell am i doing?
My future is dark in front of me
Seriously, I think my presence on earth
Is a BIG mistake
I fuck up everything and
I'm so GOOD at making ppl ard mi miserable
They'll prob find life easier
If I'm dead
I crave for death so much
You would think I'd commit suicide
BUT dun forget I'm a loser
I'm simply too damn scared to do it
In conclusion
I SUX...totally

finally....finished this novel or shld i sae biography (?) entitled The Opposite of Fate by Amy Tan....de writer of Joy Luck Club & The Kitchen God's Wife...took a super looong time to read it...was definitely amazed tt i actualli finished it...

i'm actualli de sort of person who loves everyting tt's western...esp anyting tt carries the US or UK flag...recently a fren(zt) asked mi a few ques...

1. If i can choose to be a westerner or a chinese/asian , which will i choose?
My ans: A westerner, of course...

2. If I am to choose between a poor westerner & a rich chinese?
My ans...will still be to becum a poor westerner...

this seemed to be a hot topic awhile back in s'pore...when most teenagers actualli answered tt they wld prefer to b a westerner as compared to being an asian or s'porean...

so...to have to read anyting tt's considered asian literature iz almost an impossible mission fer mi...i simply can't stand de eng lang used by the asian writers...can't put my finger on de reason...perhaps de phrasin...de structures..de simplicity of de lang or simply de ethnicity of the writers...seriously prejudiced...esp against chinese & s'porean writers...totally condemn them...

BUT after readin diz bk by Amy Tan...realised sth...sometimes ppl lyk mi hav preconceptions bout a bk written by an asian writer...becoz we see them 1st as asian rather than americans as they see themselves...thus de categorisation of asian american literature...when de themes of de novels mebbe universal in nature...not ethnically-related...

oso learnt tt my assumption of these writers as linguistically inadequate due to their simplistic presentation iz totally wrong... de simplistic approach may juz b a deliberate act on de part of de writer..at least in de case of amy tan..to represent the asian immigrants in america & to gif them a voice in a society where their lang iz their greatest disadvantage...the difficulties they face as a result of prejudice......how the term "broken Eng" can b used as a label...resultin in them being seen as limited & limitin in personality & character simply coz of their inadequacy in their communication...when in fact they ken b ppl wif a whole wealth of knowledge & potential once we break thru the lang barrier...

when i read this..i am struck by the familiarity of it...i too am guilty of such prejudice even in s'pore...i usu tend to judge ppl by their lang ability...& by this i mean of coz de ability to speak coherent Eng...i tend to disregard advice fr ppl who tend to speak wat i consider "broken eng" & even feel tt i'm above dem ...tt they dun haf class... ...when in fact..i'm de 1 who iz immature & shallow to b taken in by sth so superficial as lang abilities...

so...was quite disappointed when i arranged my timetable & realised tt i can't take de mod "asian amer lit" this sem due to clashes wif my other modz...wld realli lyk to get to know more bout asian amer lit at a deeper level...esp since itz an upcomin part of amer lit...hope i haf a chance to study it in de future...tho i can't seem to c any chance...

mebbe i shld try to crash de lect at nus...mebbe..........

meanwhile will try to broaden my horizons by readin more books by asian writers...when i haf de time tt iz...lol

tHe kEY to My HeARt ____.
The Keys to Your Heart
You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved. You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy. You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance. Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets. Your risk of cheating is high. You can't resist desire and lust. You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. In this moment, you think of love as something you don't need. You just feel like flirting around and playing right now.

You are Agnostic
You're not sure if God exists, and you don't care. For you, there's no true way to figure out the divine. You rather focus on what you can control - your own life. And you tend to resent when others "sell" religion to you.

How dark is your soul? (Great pics)
brought to you by Quizilla DARK - You are evil, your soul shows no light, u hate large crowds and loads of friends. You cannot resist the urge to cause pain.


You are The Moon

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.

The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.
