to all guys out there.. a lil help offered courtesy of the enchantress...

THE ABCs OF GETTIN A GAL (and keeping her)

Appreciate her flaws, no one is perfect, and her imperfections is perfection in itself
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
Call her perhaps once or twice a week to show u care?
Devote some of ur PRECIOUS time to her
Enigma is NOT appreciated, make things clear and direct
Flowers on a date.. cliche, but endearing
Gratefulness for all that she's done for you
Hold her tight and never let her go
I love you.... the most enduring phrase in life
Jewels.. are not needed... all that a true gal wans.. is u to be dere and show that u care
Kisses can be a comma, exclamation mark, or even a question mark :)
Light up her day with a smile or a compliment?
Messages which are sweet show the degree of love for the gal
Never take advantage of the fact that she's interested in u...
Operate on your own and dun ask frens to do things for u.. he might fall for her in the end
Princess-fy her... show her hot important she is in ur life
Quiet moments together r enjoyed (provided it's not an awkward silence but a reflective peace)
Respect her right to go out with huever she wans to her own discretion
Sweet endearments can melt the hardest heart
Tolerance for the fairer sex.. remember, men and women DUN think along the same lines!!!
Understand her feelings and actions, or at least try to be askin her nicely?
Vanity in a guy can be tolerated only to the extent of personal grooming, don't overdo things! :p
Wait patiently for her.. as gals are MEANT to be a lil late
Xin.. in english, that means, heart. to show sincerity in all u do for her
Yesterday has passed.. dun rake up her past bfs, mistake, watever
Zero latecomings!!! guys, NEVER be late

i'm jus not in the mood to REDO the PI which i worked so hard on.. m sooo tired!!! on the bright side, have gotten into the finals of the inter class debates!!!! :D ta!

Nirvana by Sidney Lanier

Through seas of dreams and seas of phantasies,
Through seas of solitudes and vacancies,
And through my Self, the deepest of the seas,
I strive to thee, Nirvana.

Oh long ago the billow-flow of sense,
Aroused by passion's windy vehemence,
Upbore me out of depths to heights intense,
But not to thee, Nirvana.

By waves swept on, I learned to ride the waves.
I served my masters till I made them slaves.
I baffled Death by hiding in his graves,
His watery graves, Nirvana.

And once I clomb a mountain's stony crown
And stood, and smiled no smile and frowned no frown,
Nor ate, nor drank, nor slept, nor faltered down,
Five days and nights, Nirvana.

Sunrise and noon and sunset and strange night
And shadow of large clouds and faint starlight
And lonesome Terror stalking round the height,
I minded not, Nirvana.

The silence ground my soul keen like a spear.
My bare thought, whetted as a sword, cut sheer
Through time and life and flesh and death, to clear
My way unto Nirvana.

I slew gross bodies of old ethnic hates
That stirred long race-wars betwixt States and States.
I stood and scorned these foolish dead debates,
Calmly, calmly, Nirvana.

I smote away the filmy base of Caste.
I thrust through antique blood and riches vast,
And all big claims of the pretentious
Past That hindered my Nirvana.

Then all fair types, of form and sound and hue,
Up-floated round my sense and charmed anew.
-- I waved them back into the void blue:
I love them not, Nirvana.

And all outrageous ugliness of time,
Excess and Blasphemy and squinting
Crime Beset me, but I kept my calm sublime:
I hate them not, Nirvana.

High on the topmost thrilling of the surge
I saw, afar, two hosts to battle urge.
The widows of the victors sang a dirge,
But I wept not, Nirvana.

I saw two lovers sitting on a star.
He kissed her lip, she kissed his battle-scar.
They quarrelled soon, and went two ways, afar.
O Life! I laughed, Nirvana.

And never a king but had some king above,
And never a law to right the wrongs of Love,
And ever a fanged snake beneath a dove,
Saw I on earth, Nirvana.

But I, with kingship over kings, am free.
I love not, hate not: right and wrong agree:
And fangs of snakes and lures of doves to me
Are vain, are vain, Nirvana.

So by mine inner contemplation long,
By thoughts that need no speech nor oath nor song,
My spirit soars above the motley throng
Of days and nights, Nirvana.

O Suns, O Rains, O Day and Night,
O Chance, O Time besprent with seven-hued circumstance,
I float above ye all into the trance
That draws me nigh Nirvana.

Gods of small worlds, ye little
Deities Of humble Heavens under my large skies,
And Governor-Spirits, all,
I rise, I rise, I rise into Nirvana.

The storms of Self below me rage and die.
On the still bosom of mine ecstasy,
A lotus on a lake of balm,
I lie Forever in Nirvana.

Beautiful poem... not a ver known poet but neverthess... gives the impression that Nirvana is unattainable.. more of an idealism than that of reality. Throughout life one may go through a lot just attain Nirvana.. jus to find out, on their death beds, that it is as unattainable as before.. only in death... should this be the same for the concept of love? all of the fairytale stories and such... could it be that romance in love is more of an idealism? wat one may call, airy fairy and without substantiation?

everything is turned upside down... and i'm gettin way more emotional again... could it be that time already? or perhaps it's cos the incidents of late have begun to go over my head? i find myself musing over everything, past, present, future... i find myself reflecting on wat others have done to me.. wat i have done to others... i find myself THINKING alot lately.. amazin to some i noe..

sometimes one can work hard, but others may not see it and begin to judge... judging is the one human flaw that is in everyone... i shall try not to judge.. try not to impose what i feel is right on another person... i dunno wat i'm talkin about.. i think i should jus go slp.. :s goodnight sweets!!! xoxoxo

THE EPITOMY OF FILTH
THE CONSEQUENCE OF LAZINESS
THE RESULT OF POVERTY

a few verses i came up with upon reflection of CIP day today... had to clean up a family hu had five kids' house... i call it a house, cos it's more of a shell, the interior can NEVER,EVER be considered a home.. and it's UNTHINKABLE that five YOUNG children, by which the oldest is still in pri skool, have to live in such an environment.. the MAIN thing... cockroach infestation!!!!! it's enough to build a country with!!!! an estimated 1000 cockroaches were found n killed.. 50 of which were admitted to have been killed by ms cheah... good grief! a lil lift of the piles of unwashed, pungent clothes, and a slew would come marching out... scuttle scuttle scuttle... GROSS!!!! the guys dealt with the most infested area.. the kitchen... bloody hell!!!! it's not fit to accomodate human beings man!!!!!! there wasn't a lizard in sight! which i found weird, but upon consultation with my mum, turns out lizards dun like areas with lotsa dirt... sneezed a hell lot in the inch thick grime which spanned the entire house. The pots and pans were mouldy and CAKED with congealed grease, hardened curry, blackened unidentifiable supposedly once edible.... THINGS... ants and cockroaches, big and small, ran rampant around the house where a tiny 7 mth old slept... the children were adorable!!! but the parents i beg to differ! whilst we were slogging away, not a FINGER was laid to help... the stood around at the void deck, munching away... it's no wonder the house is dirty!!! they're too bloody lazy, and gives excuses such as, 'the kids will only mess it up again'... rite... blame the kids now eh? i personally believe that if they had maintained the original state by cleaning up a bit, NO amount of children would be able to wreck the house to the state whereby ig went round mumbling 'should be burnt down noe this house!'... i'm not exaggerating, it was TRULY DAT BAD!!!!!! or even WORSE!!!! we spent the day mopping, sweeping, n drying... at the end of it, we were spent! n was treated by ms cheah n ms ng for a job well done!!! though ig was an ass on two counts:
1) talkin bout the house and 'cockroach juice' in comparison to the coke and
2) pullin my arm around esp when he turned, almost takin my already aching arm outta it's socket! :p
went home.. though i missed the stop for a second time due to slpin in the bus.. not my fault!!! i was.... tired? ;p

like i am now actually.. yawn.. i'm off!!! ta!!!
