A shell full of flesh...

A shell full of flesh, ripe and hard,
takes every day a wishful guard,
thinks of its purpose all the day,
feels like a chaff in a pile of hay.

thought so far and hit the deck,
then deep into chasm; found no clue,
quizzed by a thought all with a heck,
repents all the time, I am, who ?

thus begun the creation, a science or art.

a pen was held firm in the hand,
wrote few lines that marked a start,
a hymn was forged deep in the sand,
thus begun the creation, a science or art.

a bird that tweets the hymns of life,
to the tune of maestro at the work,
As a creek that not stops to a whiff,
the tone of the song, floats like a cork.

a stage was set in the deep yellow sky,
played were the songs a la concerto,
on the grooves of rays stringed to the sky,
set high in the sky, by an Angelo

live on the stone you step this time

leave your fruits in a pile
drive away the last mile
you see not the road ahead
lest you forget the goal ahead;

you ate those fruits of the past,
that left a sense in the time,
and left the space without a cast,
live on the stone you step this time...
live on the stone you step this time...

eerie sky and fall

(on mysterious Pittsburgh weather)


eerie sky in an act of guise
that leaves the fall in color
you know not -- what it is
but thee look at it with furor

detang detang selamat detang

detang detang.. selamat detang detang detang

mee goreng nasi goreng... goreng goreng...


pasir panjang...bukit panjang...panjang panjang...

bukit merah tanah merah ...merah merah...

bukit bedok...tiong bedok...bedkok bedok..

goyang goyang kepala goyang... goyang goyang..

detang detang.. selamat detang detang detang

Reach for the sky,
Dwarf the towers;
Fly high,
the hour is ours
