Big Bad Wolf Sale 2011

2011-10-15T23:58:00.001+08:00

The Big Bad Wolf book sale 2011..Headed there on friday with my book buddies Kel and Pei Yei . After doing a little tour of UPM..Hahahaha..we finally reached the place..spent around 5hours there..It was fun but there were pro's and con's to the sale..

Pro's

The books were cheap..RM8 for a Novel..RM15 for a Hardcover...it was book heaven..
The condition of the books were good..worth it!
the books were pretty organised for a book sale..not neat and perfect but bearable..

Con's

The PLACE...it was big..but not so easy to get to..was kinda of a hassle..
variety of books were not to good..could seen that it was more of a clearance..with loads of the same book all over the place..
What's with the stock up of Romance books..mayb was just me but i felt like there were more romance books than other genre's..ahahaha

Well the overall damage was 28 books for just over RM200..

Now thats definitely a bargain!!

Oh and you get a free 3 YEARS membership with book xcess chopped on your receit..and you can redeem it within 90 days..

That was just like icing on the cake..

Overall 7/10

spot on..hahaha

Iron Maiden - The Final Frontier [2010]

2010-09-05T14:42:00.006+08:00

this is Iron maiden at their best..which makes me wonder when were they not..hahaha
awesome album..really worth a listen..this guys just keep getting better and better like a good bottle of wine..
the songs have become more and more progressive there's and epic 11min track as well...and the lyrics are mature and really well written...this is a complex Iron maiden album
you may need to listen to it a few times..
but its awesome it just gets better with each listen...Check it out and go get the album..cause im certainly buying it...

"We always set out to come up with the strongest songs possible, melodies, and try and do what Iron Maiden does best... I’m moved into different areas to more progressive pieces, more intricate, which I think is the band’s forte... We only write what we need. Obviously everyone comes in with a load of ideas, it pretty much was a band effort. I think Steve these days is more into arranging and writing lyrics and melodies. I came up with quite a lot of music, six or seven songs and Janick wrote some also.Bruce wrote lyrics and melodies as well. So it was pretty much was a group effort, probably more than in the past." wikipedia

its been awhile....

2010-09-05T14:16:00.002+08:00

so its been kinda long since i last updated...haha

anyway i just got my final year results and i got my law degree...woot!

been working at HSBC for the a month already..works been really fun..

i'll just do a short Review on a book i finished reading awhile back...

Stephen King's - THE STAND

a prior warning..i bought the extended and uncut edition and its a thick(1000pg plus thick..hehe)

but i can say with total certainty its was one of the best book's I've ever read, and the thickness didn't bother me at all..it was worth the time...

the story starts out straight at the start of a virus being accidentally released..

and from their a chain of of events starts and the death of 3/4 of the population happens due to a government made virus..

King does a brilliant job of taking us through the lives and things that the main characters experience before and during the outbreak of the plague..

this is king at his best giving us horror not in blood and gore, but with the worst kind of horror

known to man FEAR...

and from then as the plague sub sides slowly we see the main characters who have some how been immune to the deadly plague start to fight for survival and regroup..its the rebuilding of society and structure..and in the mids of this another twist so deadly and supernatural in nature involving an old lady the vessel of light and a strange man the vessel of the dark..

as these survivors chose their sides two groups face off..in a final stand for humanity..

this book is experience like no other..

A beautiful read..a master class in horror/apocalyptic style stories..

pick it up if you have not read it..get the extende edition if u've read the regular edition..

in my opinion the little bits that are included here just gives the story a more whole feel to it..

Cheers!

Unexpected Mercy Featured on Junk online

2010-08-18T09:52:00.002+08:00

"What's this?", you may ask. Well, from now, every Friday. we'll be profiling some amazing bands from around the region, and guess what, YOUR band could be one of those profiled too! If you want to be profiled on our Getting To Know column send your profile and relevant links (YouTube, Facebook, etc) to scott@freeform.com.my. But for our first edition of Getting To Know, we shine the spotlight on Unexpected Mercy, one of KL's up-and-coming metalcore acts!

The Lowdown

Unexpected Mercy is Joey Lai on vocals, Joshua Ericsson on the bass, Russell Especkerman on lead guitar, Daniel Tan on the synths, and the brother-sister duo of Ian and Vivian Ng on guitar and drums respectively. Yes, their drummer is a girl, and a pretty kickass drummer at that! Formed in 2007, Unexpected Mercy went through a series of line-up changes before settling down to create death metal-fused metalcore in the vein of a really heavy The Devil Wears Prada. They've so far recorded two blistering songs with Nash from The Band Shop, and the tracks, 'The Weakness Within' and 'Shining Forth' are shining examples of well-written Christian metalcore that's never explicit about their beliefs but still conveys a clear message on what this band is about.

It's something of a rarity to see a metal band composed of non-Malays in the local scene, but nonetheless it's more proof that music crosses all boundaries as Unexpected Mercy have begun making a name for themselves by playing at shows like the Wolles Fest, and more recently the Tribute To Jesper Stromblad. They'll also be opening the next edition of the Keramat Durjana Festival in 2011, which will see them alongside the whos-who of Malaysian metal, like Black Territory, Massacre Conspiracy, Heterodox, Thy Regiment, and much, much more.

So to get to know more about these guys, we sat down with Joey and Ian over lunch one sunny day to give us a better picture on who Unexpected Mercy are.

she keeps appearing in his dreams,

no matter how hard he tries,

he cant wipe her from the story,

she just pops up in every though...

he tries to steer wide,

but still her face is what hits him in the end,

the uncertainty kills him,

but the truth is scarier...

revealing would tear the fabric of both their realities,

shatter the very foundation they stand upon,

yet he cant let go of her,

his subconscious lets her run free in his mind...

he fights to move away,

but every time it comes back to the same,

she's still lingering, and he's still wondering,

going through the possibilities again and again...

2010-07-26T18:05:00.003+08:00

wearing his heart on his sleeve,

he'll be just fine,

when everything breaks in his face,

he will just smile.

when the hand of time grabs at his heart,

sitting in the dark corner he waits to depart,

her smile lingers on in his mind,

will she ever know how much he believed.

every wind of chance has flown by,

the moment is long gone,

trapped within his memory chamber,

forever to rewind the possibilities of the times..

Dreaming reality, waking to fiction.

the beast we breed in the realm of sleep.

Not waking to disrupt the fiction we construct.

Society is a illusion of what we create,

In dreams only do we truly abide.

Its roots grow deeper,

masking the very illusion we developed,

The lines are blurred and all evidence covered.

reality becomes but sand in and endless hourglass,

never aligning itself to the fiction we live.

And when fiction is broken we construct more pieces

Upon it to conceal the cracks of which

reality hopes to seep through.

The beast wrestles in our slumber, and

On occasions we loose the battle.

Fiction creates names for the beast of reality we unleash, and

Brings down its chains to bind them from spreading.

The gate keepers watch guard at the construct,

Reality has no place at its palace…

Bayside - Tortures of the Damned

I hate myself more than I ever let on.

I’m burned out at 22.
I lived too fast and I loved too much and I’ll die too young, but I chose this cup that I drank from.
Knew what I was getting into.
But I couldn’t let out what I had to keep in.
I’m ashamed of myself and unspeakable sins that I’ve committed and…

I’ve made mistakes but I’ll find my way.
No explanation for
the things I’ve failed at before.
They can’t hold my hand.
It just hurts to be a man.
Through the tortures of the damned.
Of the damned.

If I only had an axe I’d sever the ties I’ve made with the world.
Maybe I can be a stranger in a strange place If I start now, maybe I can be saved.
If I only had a mask
I’d cover these bleeding eyes.
They’re bloodshot now but they’ll be black by dawn.
If I wake up now I can be pure again.

I’ve made mistakes but I’ll find my way.
No explanation for the things I’ve failed at before.
They can’t hold my hand.
It just hurts to be a man.
Through the tortures of the damned.

Look at me now, I’m on the tracks with my back towards the last train leaving town (x4).

I’ve made mistakes but I’ll find my way.
No explanation for the things I’ve failed at before.
They can’t hold my hand.
It just hurts to be a man. (Through the tortures of the damned.)

I’ve made mistakes but I’ll find my way.
No explanation for the things I’ve failed at before.
They can’t hold my hand.
It just hurts to be a man. Through the tortures of the damned.
Of the Damned!!!

Existence is futile

2010-06-13T22:10:00.002+08:00

Existence is futile, you bleed what you sow,

in a world full of chaos, life is a show.

a never ending war, profits from disaster.

exploitation of the weak, at the mercy of greed.

Economic view point , a sickness we breed.

all that is dear is only want we need.

yet the destruction prevails,

Children butchered, mothers impaled.

Fathers slaughtered to be made a sign.

submit to our evil or die.

More money, more blood, more wealth.

Exploit the weak, spawns for the wretched rich.

Existence is futile, Faith in denial.

A corporate take over,

Ropes tied to the invisible lines.

Strung like puppets on a string,

There must be more to life.

Its time to take over,

Lets bring the light , and kill the lie.

Speak up, no more compromise,

Existence is life..

Burn the strings that bind,

Bleed the wounds that tie.

Take upon the word of light,

Existence is Hope.

Paul Grey( 1972 – 2010)
Slipknot Bassist aka "Pig" or #2 has died..

On May 24, 2010, The Des Moines Register reported that Gray had been found dead in a room at the Towneplace Suites hotel in Urbandale, Iowa at about 10:50 local time .He is survived by his wife Brenna who was expecting their first child at the time of his death. An initial autopsy determined that no foul play or trauma was involved, but could not establish the cause of death. The Polk County medical examiner is currently awaiting the results of a toxicology test.

The next day, May 25 2010, The Des Moines Register announced that, according to a 911 tape obtained by WOI-TV, bottles of pills and a hypodermic needle were found next to the body of Gray in his hotel room.^[5] On the same day, the band held a formal press conference in Des Moines, Iowa. They did not take any questions from the media. The band and Gray's wife paid tribute to him.

"He was kind of the person in the band that really wanted everybody in the band to always get along and just concentrate on the band. He was a really great friend and a really great person. He's going to be sadly missed, and the world is going to be a different place without him."

"Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45am 16th May. Many, many friends and family were able to say their private good-byes before he peacefully passed away.

George Grie

One of the first digital neo-surrealist artists, Grie is known for numerous 3D, 2D, and matte painting images. Born in the USSR during the Soviet regime he did not adopt the conventional and politically correct socialist realism art style, but chose instead to follow the more controversial path of modern surrealism.

"The new form of art was born without pompous manifestations and noisy commercials. Some of us still consider digital and 3d art as something mechanical and artificial, something that in some way is out of human touch. Nothing could be more wrong. Computers don’t make art, people do. Computers are creative tools –much sophisticated ones. Once you try them, you will never give up going forward. There is only one chilling obstacle between you and your perfect design – lack of imagination." – George Grie, Biography & Digital Art Statement

Lyrics to ponder upon..hahaha

2010-06-01T20:21:00.006+08:00

Wheeled in on a cart, lying dormant not dead
Hospital of immortality, butcher their patients bloody red
Taken to a dark room, fear of impending doom
The doctor straps you down, with an evil grin
Grabs his rusty blade, ripping through flesh and vein
He tortures his patients through evil means

You can't try to fight them, first they change your brain
beyond the realm of evil, their means are insane
Mutilated beyond belief, but still kept alive
Pathologist of death gouging out your eyes

Guts and blood, bones are broken
As they eat your pancreas
Human liver, for their diner
Or maybe soup with eyes
Cause of death, still unknown
Gnawing meat, from your bones
Bone saw binding in your skull
Brains are oozing a human stump
Needles injected, through your eyes
Puiling off flesh, skinned alive

Killing for free in blood they will trust, and they must never forsake
feeding on blood that brought them abound, and they must kill tonight
Genocide, suicide, screaming cries, in hell you will die

Lying dormant not dead
Hospital of immortality, butcher their patients bloody red
Taken to a dark room, fear of impending doom
The doctor straps you down, with an evil grin
Grabs his rusty blade, ripping through flesh and vein
He tortures his patients through evil means

In Flames!!!!

2010-05-28T09:29:00.007+08:00

Its been awhile since i updated my blog...
in the vein of all bloggers who seem to feel the need to tell the whole world
(even if anyone hardly checks it) their life..
i guess i should hav done this post a long time ago..but heck its never to late eh??
So here's my tribute to my Favorite band

IN FLAMES

"In 1990, over in Gothenburg, Sweden, the stars aligned or some shit. Something extraterrestrial clicked, because there is no other scientific evidence for how In Flames could have been born without some sort of divine interference. Jesper Stromblad, of Ceremonial Oath, decided that he was sick of not being in a better band, so he created one. In 1993, he recruited Glenn Ljungstom (guitar), and Johan Larsson (bass) to form the first official
In Flames line-up, and together they recorded a 3-song demo which they sent in to Wrong Again Records.

This was the first chapter in In Flames' badass history. We all know that breaking the rules is cool, and what's one of the coolest ways to break the rules? Fucking lie to someone's face. The trio told WAR that they already had 13 songs recorded and ready to go, when in fact, beyond the 3 song demo, they had absolutely nothing. Wrong Again turned out to be right for once, and gave In Flames a record deal.

That same year, In Flames wrote and recorded their first full album, "Lunar Strain". Because they hadn't found a vocalist yet, Jesper asked Mikael Stanne of Dark Tranquillity to provide session vocals. Lunar Strain was released in 1994. Later that year, they released their first EP, "Subterranean". Subterranean was such a success that it caught the eye of Nuclear Blast records, who then gave In Flames a record deal. Now that In Flames' popularity was growing, they realized session vocals would no longer cut it, and that drums sound pretty nice. That's right, a professional metal band took over a year to realize that they might need a singer and drummer.

In response to this brilliant epiphany, they hired Bjorn Gelotte (drums) and Anders Friden (vocals). This 5-man lineup produced The Jester Race in 1995, and Whoracle in 1997. However, after the release of Whoracle, guitarist Glenn Ljungstrom and bassist Johan Larsson announced they were leaving the band. Niklas Engelin and Peter Iwers were hired to replace them, and this new In Flames produced the album "Colony" in 1999. Since then, In Flames has released five new albums and toured extensively, and, as of 2008, sold over two million records worldwide. They are the only item in existence to have been In Flames consistently for over 16 years, without dying."

Dan Mumford tee Design's !!!!

2010-05-27T23:29:00.002+08:00

The London artist has now teamed up with IndieMerch to form Mumford Clothing . The first series ‘The Heretic’, is a tale of the occult told through the medium of tee’s. Dan says:

the 8 new designs are numbered and have a very specific order to them. The reason for this is we wanted to tell a tale through the tee’s and try and make the whole set as cohesive as possible. The amazing Travis Ducsay from the always awesome Rockett wrote these after i gave him some very meagre descriptions, and managed to take the tees to the next level with his literary skills! So for easier consumption, here in its entirety is the narrative that weaves throughout The Heretic.

Freaking Awesome!!

Death's Embrace

2010-04-21T21:15:00.003+08:00

Nearing Her shores,
She bids me for a final embrace,
Her sweet scent alluring me to her throne,
yet i must resist her for my time has not come,
she tempts me forth with rest and tranquility...

She is the beauty we fear most,
'Death' in her grandest appeal,
The gatekeeper between Paradise and Damnation..
She longs for embrace sinner or saint,
she does not chose,
for the choices we have already made,
she bids us only to the result of our choice.
She longs only for our eternal rest..

why do i long for her so?
is it of reason that i fear her not?
that her embrace is as Milton put a
"the golden key that opens the place of eternity"
yet i know i have much more to achieve
thus our embrace must wait.
for i hav the bidding of the Lord foremost
before we can meet..

Till that final embrace i shall cherish thee
In my endavours with fearless courage..
for thee art only my passage way to the golden streets of
Paradise..

Death by Fishball & other stories..

2010-04-15T19:10:00.008+08:00

after a nice cup of coffee in the morning..
i open up the local papers to see what's new..
and lo and behold i am greeted by the horrific news that
a little 9 month old baby choked to death on a FISHBALL!!!!
fed by a caretaker..i mean come on, i think even a Kid would tell you
a 9month old baby cant eat solid food
(btw what nutrition does a Fisball have??other then being cheap)
its sad to read of a dead of a baby so young because
of the stupidity and carelessness of someone else..

in the mid of this Another toddler is beaten to dead..
and kept in the closet before being taken to the Hospital..
thats like 3-4 similar cases in the last 3months..
and please la, most of the excuses made by the parents are so dumb,
how could anyone not see through them..
if you don't want kids annoying you, then freaking don' make one..

oh and ya a 15year old Stright A student runs away from home to GET MARRIED!!!!
ya thats a great leap..if she really likes this guy and he likes her then he should have at least told her to finish her education..after all which person actually wants to jump in to a marriage..i think even an adult would take time to think about such a dramatic change in their life..

all this news just makes me wonder amidst all this shouts for sex education in schools,
i think the government should focus on educating the adult population on
Parenting Skills as well..
Cause it wld save alot young life's and stop all this heartbreaking news of Kids dying...

Neverwhere..

2010-04-06T23:37:00.004+08:00

finished reading the book neverwhere a few weeks back..
it was first a television series written by Neil gaiman who later adapted it into a Novel..
it starts of bringing us into the life of the main character who seemingly is heading
to a better job and life in London..and is gifted with an umbrella with the map of the London underground subway stations which wld later be whr the whole story revolves around...
then we are show how busy his life has become in London..
his fiance is a workaholic..
and then we are brought into London below.
The character 'Door' is introduced to us as she frantically tries to escape form
Mr.croup and Vandermar..
then back to the busy Life of The main character Richard Mayhew..
Gaiman weaves the stories together and bring these to characters together when

'Richard stops to help a mysterious young girl who appears before him, bleeding and weakened, as he walks with his fiancée to dinner to meet her influential boss.'

this is when the adventure truly begins..
there is more to london then meets the eye..
and entire forgotten city below it..whr some ppl fall through the cracks..
ppl can harly notice this ppl of london below in london..they go unnoticed..
The whole story revolves around the london underground station and Gaiman does an incredible job using the various stations etc to bring his story about..
as usual he plays around with opposites and unlikely hero's and characters..
Rat's are kings and humans speak for them..
the most feared Hunter of london below is a beautiful looking woman..
Door is only a young girl..
the villain is the most holy saint of them all..haha
Gaiman uses alot of the prominent aspects of london..
after all the adventure of london below, the final pages shows us a reflection of how richards life wld be and he decides that he wld rather live in london below..

it as usual another awesome read..
Neil gaiman's writings hav not disappointed me thus far..
anythin he writes is magical and surreal..it truly is on a platform of its own..
give it a try if youve never read a book by Neil Gaiman..
if u love neil gaiman then you gotta get this..

Deconstruction

2010-03-19T23:03:00.003+08:00

in order to destroy sin, we must first destroy the sinner..
and from the ashes rebuild the man..
using the the failures of the past,
we reconstruct them to create a greater man for the future.
In hope for a man that resembles that of Utopia..
yet the process is slow, the failures much, and the pain dreadful.
though the procedure is time consuming and heart wrenching,
it is the attempt, the hope, the faith ,the zeal which is of much worth..
and it is these things that burn the flame for success of reconstruction.
when all assumptions are broken down and destroyed,
then we can move one step closer towards
the saint..

esprit d'escalier..

L’esprit de l’escalier or esprit d'escalier

'thinking of a clever comeback when it is too late. The phrase can be used to describe a riposte to an insult or any witty remark that comes to mind too late to be useful—after one has left the scene of the encounter. The phenomenon is usually accompanied by a feeling of regret at not having thought of it when it was most needed or suitable.'
-wikipedia-

haha..havent we all had that moment when we wanted to say something in answer to another but we just could not find the words..but later when the conversation is over we come up with the perfect line..but its to late..the opportunity is gone..and the chance to say those words die with that moment..

First graders

1stgrade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading, keep in mind that these are first-graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!

1.	Don't change horses	until they stop running.
2.	Strike while the	bug is close.
3.	It's always darkest before	Daylight Saving Time.

11.	Love all, trust	Me.
12.	The pen is mightier than the	pigs.
13.	An idle mind is	the best way to relax.
14.	Where there's smoke there's	pollution.
15.	Happy the bride who	gets all the presents.
16.	A penny saved is	not much.
17.	Two's company, three's	the Musketeers.

Layers

2010-02-25T22:36:00.001+08:00

Hidden In layers of make up,

I see the sorrow that you hide.

Why wont you stop this masquerade,

Is it worth it at all?

You’re better than this and I know you are,

I care to much to watch you drown,

Why won’t you help yourself,

Is the suffering worth the pain.

You know the answer yet you just complain ,

Without a move you will never gain,

Stop pretending that everything is fine,

You know you’ve got to make a move.

Wipe the layers from your eyes ,

Let those dark shades fall from your face,

And show the world you’re not a fake.

Hide no more lies my dear it’s time to shine.

Nowhere

2010-02-25T22:20:00.005+08:00

Take me to nowhere,
Where there's only you and me,
Where faith takes control,
And guides our path to now & here.

It’s a place of calm where all your worries will be gone,
Lay your burdens down and walk with the wind,
Feel the freedom in the air,
As it takes you to nowhere.

Trust me and take my hand,
Lets walk in the streams of hidden wonders,
Lets dance in the calm of this mystic woods,
don't give up on life.

lets take a chance,
lets make this one last,
i hope you see my smile,
please trust me when i say..

lets fly to nowhere,
Where there's only you and me,
Where faith takes control,
And guides our path to now & here.

Grace for The Blind

2010-02-21T10:05:00.004+08:00

when nothing else makes sense,
there's one who understands.

no matter what you hide inside,
he's the one who sees it all.

with broken wings i crawl,
yet in darkness i see his light.

though i believe not in myself,
He still has faith in me.

whilst i forsake him so many times,
he still waits for my hand.

in my weakness i see doubt,
but all he see's is hope.

falling down in a world of confusion,
that drowns me in delusion,

in a world of illusion,
he still sees my prediction.

I’ll never stop caring,

I’ll never stop being there for you,

Know matter what you do or who you do it with,

I’ll never stop caring.

This is just the way I am ,

I will never stop caring for you,

And even though you will never know me,

I’ll never stop caring.

Cause you were like a broken portrait,

It doesn’t even matter if you know me at all,

I’m just a guy who fixes portraits in the dark,

To give it light to shine.

Don’t bother to find me,

Cause I’m just a shadow,

Who you’ll never see again.

Goodbye my portrait.

May

2010-01-28T20:53:00.004+08:00

the movie starts of with a nice bit of flashback on which does not go to deep into the story..just enough the give the viewer a feel of the main character..
Angela Bettis does an awesome job portraying 'May'
(the main character)..
her actions are so organic and realistic..it so believe that the viewer feels for the lonely Girl trapped in the a womens body..that insecure little girl who never had a chance 2 grow up..
her job as a Veterinarian's assistant shows how she treats death with a careless attitude..she cuts her hands for fun.showing us her attempts to know that she can feel something..because deep down she's just wants people to look at her and take notice that she exist..
as her world comes crumbling down,
the man she loves walks out because he thinks she is to weird..
Her lesbian co-worker who is only interested to use her as one of her one-night stands..
even her cat does not want to b near her..
she finally realises that if she cannot find a friend, that she just has to make one.
May goes on a rampage with a Icebox on a trolley ironically on Halloween..
and one by one she takes what she liked from each individual she knew..
finally back in her apartment, she sews together the body parts, in a futile attempt to have the friend she never had..
yet in the end she realises the Friend she has made still cant see her.
and we then see that little girl in her desperate hour takes a scissor and takes out her own eyeball and in agony she screams with bloody hands she places the eyeball on her "new friends eye socket"..and screams look at me, look at me

if your a true fan of Horror,then this is a movie you should watch..
the development of the characters and the story is very natural and not rushed and yet the movie still keeps us tuned in.
the gore works well complimenting the story and not overpowering it..
there is no annoying back story or long winded introduction to any of the characters..
the story just plays out like we were watching 'May' as she goes through her life..
i wld give it a 9/10

2010-01-25T08:52:00.003+08:00

Can't you see that I wanna be there with open arms?
It's empty tonight
And I'm all alone
Get me through this one

Do you notice I'm gone?
Where do you run to so far away?

I want you to know that I miss you, I miss you so
I want you to know that I miss you, I miss you so

I'm writing again, these letters to you
On much I know
But I'm not sleeping and you're not here
The thought stops my heart

Do you notice I'm gone?
Where do you run to so far away?

I want you to know that I miss you, I miss you so
I want you to know that I miss you, I miss you so

No more looking
I've found her

I want you to know that I miss you, I miss you so
I want you to know that I miss you, I miss you

I've gone away

Letters to you By Finch

there is no one
there was never a one
he wishes he had a one
he hopes he wil have a one
he prays he finds a one
cause he cant take waiting on no One

Insecurity

2010-01-03T09:13:00.007+08:00

in'se·cu'ri·ty
1.the state of being subject to danger or injury
2.the anxiety you experience when you feel vulnerable and insecure

Insecurity is a state by which we man and woman induce ourselves into which end we suffer by our own accord yet blame not ourselves but upon others whose deeds we deem wrong.
it is a feeling of hopelessness,Fear and loss which is not a comfort but a betrayer..

Vermilion Seas...

2010-01-02T22:49:00.005+08:00

walking by the beach, as the sharks swallow the tides,
she watches in terror at the monster beneath her smile...
He waits patiently surrounded by the walls of closure,
as the walls crumble, the ocean over flows,
in to a Vermilion across the sea,
a dead seagull upon the shores,
a sign of things to be...

falling in a coma..

2010-01-02T12:01:00.004+08:00

Falling down in a coma,
the closes thing to closure is the sound of your heartbeat,
a thousand possibilities, have i dreamed of..
yet a millionth time i fall..
though broken,i shall not be shattered...

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010

Beating Upon Death's Door..

2009-12-19T21:51:00.003+08:00

As he realises the velocity of his circumstances,

He finally sees that to feel pain is to know that he still breathes another breath upon this earth,

As he grasp’s the effigy of his past,

This pain is nothing but a blessing to know that he still lives by grace,

His taken it all, from the deepest to the thickest,

The sharpest to the bluntest …

As he comes beating upon death’s door he sees the images from a shattered glass,

And knows that this is nothing to what HE endured upon Golgotha,

For this struggle is not the end but just the beginning..

As he falls down the pain to heavy to bear,

Looking towards the gates of goodbye the pain takes him back to life,

And he sees the promise he has made and the serpent who waits to devour,

With strength from suffering he fights on…

The pain a reminder that he is alive to fight another day,

The scars he wears a diary of his battles,

Till his final breath he will fight with the pain ,scars and blood..

All glory to the ONE who gives him grace,

They can take his life, but not his faith,

For through his suffering HIS strength is revealed..

Nigtmare on Dream Street

2009-12-19T21:47:00.003+08:00

The taste of her lips upon his, yet he wakes upon to find himself all alone..

The agony of this deception, will this torment ever end.

A façade of a dream he will never see.

Tormented by her face, will he last another stare?

Is this how it ends with his heart on his sleeve?

Will he live to see tomorrow or will she be his last Nightmare.

As the memories of her fade away;

will she find him in time

before their dreams align a reality of despair…
