Untitled #5

Haughty and proud,
She looks down at him,
He approaches warily,
An offering in hand.

She sits up,
Showing curious interest,
For the offered object
Is full of Intrigue.

He grins in triumph,

Pleased he has pleased.
And with a flick of a wrist,

A performance now begins.

She darts and pounces,

At an astonishing speed,

She swipes and slashes,

Thus the target now bleeds.

He watches with an awe,
That is barely concealed,
At a Master at play,
An unrivalled skill indeed.

Delight fills them,
Both watcher and Master,
As she riptoses and strikes,
With an obvious glee.

A scream rings out,
Cutting them both short,
His sister arrives,
Anger in her voice.

" My doll, you fool!
You've ripped it so!"
As he grins sheepishly,
The cat flees the scene.

* A silly, fun piece. I didn't bother much about the ryhming.

Untitled #4

Our swords are sharp
And our courage rages fierce
Our shields are bright
And our hearts grimly true

Our feet they march
Steady and swift
Our fists they grip
Strong and sure

Onwards, onwards!
To the pools of blood
Forward, forward!
To the plains of death

Face nightmares and horrors
Defeat them all!
Face violence and pain
Endure, don't fall!

Embrace the numbing fear
There is no turning back!
Forge the terrible despair
Into a devastating attack!

So we shall ride, my brothers
With a smile on our faces
So we shall fight, my sisters
With war-screams on our lips!

Take a deep breath, my proud warriors
The moment draws near
Take a deep breath, my brave soldiers
Our glorious time is here!

CHARGE!

- Death! Death! Death...! -
King Theoden of Rohan.

* I love that battle cry.

Untitled #3

"Amid fire and war-song
Wake from thy sleep!
Rise, terrible Lord
From chasms cold and deep!

Return to this world
That betrayed thee so!
Inflict chaos and despair
Upon thy foul foe!

We offer thee our souls
Our Prince of the Dark!
Hear our adoring prayer
As we kiss thy sacred Mark!

Claim back thy crown
Lead us once again!
Crush any defiant fool
Drown him in pain!

Hail, hail Dark Lord
Long have we waited!
Carve thy reign anew
Release all of thy hatred!"

....and Lord Voldemort smiled.

* I don't know where this came from.... I wanted to write an 'angry' poem... what I started (I had in mind a chant summoners might use to call forth a fallen god or something) eventually evolved into this, and I thought it'd fit You-Know-Who. =p

For Legolas # 1

An elven archer
Takes up his bow
Fits up an arrow
Then sets his sights
Smoothly draws back
Lets loose the quarrel
The missile flies true
It strikes the centre
I stagger and gasp
While the archer smiles
He strides over
As I clutch my chest
Lifting my chin
Beautiful eyes pierce mine
My elven prince whispers
"Now thy heart is mine."

My love.

Untitled # 2

Tomorrow the sun will rise
And it will be beautiful to see
As the sky brightens to the eye
But it is not meant for me.

Tomorrow the birds will sing
Cheery melodies bright and free
From perches in trees, under the leaves
But it is not meant for me.

Tomorrow the winds will blow cool
A breeze that rustles the willowy tree
That'll lift your hair and caress cheeks
But it is not meant for me.

Tomorrow the flowers will bloom
To the delight of little honeybees
Each boasting its own subtle scent
But it is not meant for me.

Tomorrow your puppy will play
While wagging his tail in glee
He'll freely give a happy wet kiss
But it is not meant for me.

Tomorrow the stars will shine
A heavenly spectacle with no fee
If one falls, it might grant a wish
But it is not meant for me.

Tomorrow a new day begins
Hope is renewed; it is Life's key
So smile and laugh as you greet it
For it is not meant for me.

Enter The Machines.

First they came; sentient, towering robots from the planet Cybertron.


I see you.


They conquered and infected, just by sheer awesomeness.

Yeah, you'd better run, b*tches.


Then, came another who proved size doesn't matter, as long as you accessorize well.


The Ironman cometh.


He took us for a wild, wild ride where even ice couldn't stop us.


Knight In Really Cool Shiny Armour & Glowing Heart.


And waiting in the wings, though with not so much cold iron, but with equally cool equipment and a swanky new archnemesis :

The Emo Dark Knight. Reminds me of Sasuke.



He awaits his turn. And so do I (wait for him). XD

Amazing 'Return'!

Oh my freaking god. There was some mix-up when I tried to log into this blog (I still am unsure what happened, and I assume it's solved. *crosses fingers*) and I discovered my first, old blog still existed.

Oh. My. God.

Yeah I had another blog before. Created on the 10th of June 2005 (according to the said blog's dashboard).

It only held ONE post. Yes, I posted only once before I forgot I had a blog, then when I remembered, I forgot the address. I don't know why I didn't try to recover it.

--________________________________________-- ""

I deleted it. I'm sticking to this blog. =)

You really do discover 'new' things/ rediscover things everyday....

Hyuga Neiji

Everytime I look into your eyes,

I fall deeper

Everytime I hear your laugh,

I fall deeper

Everytime I trace your lips,

I fall deeper

Everytime I breathe you in,

I fall deeper

Everytime I taste your kisses,

I fall deeper

Everytime I see you smile,

I fall deeper

Deeper and deeper in love, I fall.

Hyuga Neiji.

Nothing particular. Thought that this short watever-you-may-call-it would suit this picture well. I do fall in love more everytime I look at it. =) Thanks, Jacq. XD

* DISCLAIMER : This piece was originally done by iDNAR.deviantart.com, NOT ME.

This piece was traced out by pencil by a good friend of mine, Jacq. =) NOT ME.I don't have crazy art skills like this... -___-''

A Plea

My Beloved,

The world can be harsh I know,

It can be unfair and cruel.

People are many things I know,

But you meet demons more often than an angel.

A heart owns a fragile strength I know,

That's why some hide and deny it so.

We are all born with pure souls I know,

But it is so easily stained and lost.

Hope can illuminate and comfort I know,

Though ware it prove false.

So many things marr this Life I know,

Leeching away at your spirit.

What you must do I know,

When you lose the spark you once owned.

Never give up; it is easy I know,

To drown in tears and sorrow.

Believe this is true, I know,

That I am always, always there for you,

My Beloved.

So hold on.

To all of you out there, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. If you feel like all is lost and your colours fade to ash, reach out, please.

You will find a waiting hand.

Untitled #1

I dream of flight

Me, a child of Earth.

I long for blue skies

And puffy white clouds.

I want to soar high

Like I did in dreams before.

I yearn to float

With whispering winds beside me.

I wish to dive

Along bright shooting stars.

I ask for wings

To sail starry heavens.

I desire to sky-dance

Just because I can.

I hope for the impossible

But maybe not, perhaps.

'Cause I dream of flight.

Hungry?

I think I'm developing a weird habit... I seem to be documenting -taking pics- of good food that I devour. =D Wanna see?

* Please turn back if you cannot resist good food and want to keep drool off your keyboard*

Let's start with some cakes.

Brownie from Secret Recipe. Look at the choooochoolaaate...

Another cake from Secret Recipe.

Aaaaand my all-time fave, The Ultimate Chocolate Sin! XD

Looks like this when I'm through with it. Whee~

This is the cake I made. =) Chocolate Cheesecake!

I cooked this; tuna-egg-maggi. It tastes REAL good 'kay? No matter how it looks like...

Maggi mee with fish, prawns and veggie. Looks a little like a smiley face, no?

An- Oops. Wrong pic. =p

Ah, this is more like it. Tony Roma's US Steak. Worth every sen.

Fish & Chips from Manhatten's Fish Market. It was sooo goooood....

Now, let the sushi parade begin!

=)

Salmon onigiri anyone? I bit your half off already though...

Here's a little beef noodle soup.

Sushi set from Zen. Lotsa raw stuff. RAWR.

Also from Zen. Gosh look at the salmon slices!

Good food in a dog bowl. =.=" But still GOOD!

So good so I'll give you a closer look...

Since I've come to stay with my aunt & uncle, I've learnt of the joys salad can bring. This dragon now likes salad, thanks to the goat & horse I live with. =) Sure, I felt like a horse/goat myself when I first tried it, I mean, all that MUNCHING! But I've gotten better now. =D

My jaw fell off after all the munching. And I wasn't even halfway through.

-__-"

Salad ain't that bad when you add shredded roast chicken, grilled MUSHROOMS, hard-boiled eggs (another thing I've accepted as well; I never liked them before. But I like them as egg-mayo spread or in my salad now), apples, croutons, and other vegs. Go crazy. Experiment. But don't add purple cabbage; it's god-damned bitter! And don't put in too much french dressing (if you're using it); it will collect at the bottom and the final salad pieces will be super sour. Ugh. Thses are mistakes or bloopers we've experienced, so just you know. =)

Hora. Look. See my shadow looming over? Be thankful I stopped long enough for a snap.

This is quite recent. Gaaaah~ Yummyness!

Hmm. How about some dessert now? =)

Homemade Tong Yuen...?

(Powerpuff colours! White's the Prof. ... LOL. Yes blue and green. Just 'cos we CAN. >=p)

...or some sweet bean cakes? =p I find them very, very delicious. Mm mm.

Lastly, a simple yet lovely cup of teh. =) I try to go for warm teh/teh tarik, 'cos some iced ones end up too watery. And it's supposed to be healthier.... so I tell myself.

Like a breath of fresh air. ^___^

So yes. I loove food. =)

Love looooove~!

Only bunnies can be so cute & so gluttonous simultaneously.

So yeah. Food can be a life-saver. If I get depressed, and think life's a horrible, horrible joke, I'll go, "Well, at least it has good food. Like chocolate and Pringles...." =p I don't have any decent pictures of those two said works of geniuses... yet. =)

So I say : Eat! Eat and be merry! .....Just watch your waistline. Haha!

I gotta go now; I'm hungry.

Hobey ho! ^__^

I. Got. Tagged. AGAIN. *Sigh*.

Hmm. Just when I got hit to the side of the head by a tag, another one smacks me on the other right after I recovered. White flag! White flag!!

Whoa. The weather forecast didn't say anything about heavy tagclouds today... But sometimes it's nice standing in the rain. Mind you, not in a heavy downpour (I have experienced walking when it was POURING buckets under a very sad excuse of an umbrella. The said umbrella was close to collapsing and only kept the rain out of my eyes. ONLY)...

Okay, okay, going off-topic. So yeah. Why not, joyce? =)

*deep breath*

Preferably before I die. Not after.

2. If you were to be stranded on a deserted island, who are the 3 blog buddies you'd take and why?
Currently I only have 2, so I'll bend the rules a little; so I take Joyce(my cuzzin), Jacq, and Legolas. Why? Why not? But I'd rather NOT be stranded and drag other unfortunate souls with me. Though I wouldn't mind if it were just me and the latter....mmm... >:D

3. Where is the place that you want to go the most?
Hmm. I'd like to visit Japan or Paris in this lifetime. =)

4. If you can have a dream to come true, what would it be?
I wish I could fly in the skies like a bird. Absurd, I know, but that's mostly what dreams are.

5. Do you believe you can survive without money?
Of course! Anybody can survive without money, as long as they have the determination to; read : people in Africa eat mud-cakes to survive. The thing is, would I survive WELL without it? NO. Would I like that? NO.

6. What are you afraid to lose the most?
Hope. For that is essential for one to live. Without hope, how can one survive? Think about it.

7. If you had a superpower, what would your ability be?
I'd be an immortal. Who can fly. =p

Inconsiderate people. People who do not pull their share of the work.

12. If you are given the chance to go back to the past and make a difference, will you?
Yes. I'd take up basketball or dancing.

13. In your own opinion, would you say you are nice or mean?
That depends on when you encounter me. But I'm generally nice to people. I'm not really mean to people; if I do not like someone, I ignore them. I mean, why spend energy on that detestable person? Being mean shows you still care. Or maybe I'm just too lazy to be mean. *shrugs*

14. What do you think is the most important thing in your life?
Relationships. Man is not a solitary creature. Thus, family is important to me. Friends too; for friends are the family one can choose.

I tend to leave important stuff to be completed at the last minute. I adore puppies and kitties. I'm not the neatest person in the world. AH WAIT; I cannot spontaneously give deserving people a tongue-lashing. As in, the words I want to scream at another person comes to me a few minutes later.

19. What's the thing that you're most proud of?
I ....have big eyes? @__@ I'm healthy. I have a good life. I'm happy. So I'm glad.

20. Are you a diurnal or a nocturnal person?
I'm semi-nocturnal. I'm NOT a morning person. There're some studies saying that this might be due to genetics.

There! Done! =) I changed the last question.

I tag : Jacq, Beatrix, and you who read this.

Cheers and have fun! =)

I. Got. Tagged. *Sigh*.

Niennahime tagged me. =.=" The task said to 'tag EIGHT ppl'. Apparently, I am worth SEVEN ppl. Should I laugh? Or cry...?

=.="

So fine, I will continue the thread. Here goes :

First up, 8 things I am passionate about:

(Not in order, 'kays?)

1. Hibernating.
2. Daydreaming (keeps one's imagination fertile.) ;p
3. MUSIC. I realise I cannot live without it, no matter the genre.

4. My family. We fight, argue, laugh, cry, and love each other.

5. My dog... and my tortoises too, I guess. No matter how stupid they(tortoises) seem. They're still mine to love.... and clean after, feed, bathe.... =___="

Meet Shadow. She can scare the shit out of you in the dark... for all you suddenly see is two glowing eyes and a panting tongue hanging out. Whee.

6. Stories. One of Life's perks.(Thus my mania about books, some movies, manga, & anime; they all spin a story.)

7. Gorgeous, Preferably-Topless, Drop-Dead-Worthy, Male Hunks. I AM a female. >:D

8. Sinful food. Especially Pringles of the sour-cream type. Salute!


8 things I say too often :

1. ...Huh?

2. ...What?

3. Mrrrraauuuw~

4. Aaaaaarrrrghhhh!!!

5. Whyyyyyy.....?!??
6. Whaat the...??

7. ...Eh?

8. Yinn wong ah, tai yan!! ;___; (I've been framed, Your Honour!)


8 books I’ve read recently :

1. Marieb. Looking at page 1077.

2. One of Mercedes Lackey's; Phoenix And Ashes, if I'm not mistaken.

3. Garth Nix's The Shade's Children.
4. R. A. Salvatore's The Legacy; the latest in the Drizzt Do'Urden series.

5. The Bride Of The Water God, Volume 1.

6. Vampire Knight, Volume 2.

7. Song lyrics for Rise by Origa.

8. ......today's newspaper. 'Cause I can't think of anything else & all the stuff I read I left at home. =.="


Now comes one I wouldn't mind answering;
8 songs I could listen to over and over again :

1. Shinroku by Loveholic. I found out the meaning of the lyrics later... but I still love it.
2. Rise by Origa. Curent fave. Her other songs aren't bad either. Like Inner Universe.
3. I'm cheating here ; two songs from Lilo & Stitch. Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride & He Mele No Lilo.

4. Jesse McMcartney's The Second Star to the Right. Seems that it's a Peter Pan song.

5. Valentine's Day by Linkin Park. I love all their songs anyway.

6. DHT's I Go Crazy.
7. Gollum's Song by Emiliana Torrini. I realise I tend to like tragic songs....

8. Hit In USA by Beat Crusaders.

Actually I have LOADS of songs I love. These are the few which come to mind now. Cheers for music!

8 things I learned last year :

1. If I nap after 6pm, I get a headache.

2. If I drink just Nescafe in the morning, I get a 'tummy burn'. Not nice.

3. I love the snooze button. I can hit it till it refuses to snooze anymore.

4. If I sleep in the car, with my head at a weird angle, I get a headache. (recent discovery)

5. I'm a sucker for pretty pictures. (And pretty ppl too.)

6. Dropping your MP4 player into a bucket of water is agonising. Mentally & physically. Don't do it, kids.

7. Classical music still ROCKS.

8. Some mistakes you cannot afford, for the consequences after are painful to bear.


Finally, 8 people to tag :

1. Jocelyn Toh! I miss you...

2. Beatrix!

3. .....You who read this. Tell me if you ever do take up the challenge. (If not; WIMP. =p It's not as easy as it looks, 'kay?)

4. I

5. have

6. no

7. one

8. else.

....DONE. *pheew*
