whole lot of nothing
5/21/2005 11:09:00 pm

"beeep," the sound of the fone sms alert awakens mic up from a night of much missed rest.
'wat time u wanna meet man?'
damn. its 8.30. mic was supposed 2 go 2 the jedi institute for a convention. and he was running late. remaining cool (its uncanny how he can be so cool while facing possible doom) he gets dressed and takes a primitive form of transport (sb-99) many miles to the convention. many droids were in que to take the galactic shuttle to the convention. "gee. wat r all these lowlife doing here? its gonna b damn crowded there. heck, theyr not even old enough to get enrolled into e naboo university. where's a-nick-kin roadrunner aniwayz?" he ponders. if theres one creature in this universe tt can be even later den mic, it was his old accomplice, nick...
the place was big and overwhelming. the languages spoken were alien to the two young jedi. heck, german? wat planet is that from?
the modules one had 2 learn to become a honours jedi was, one time too many, boring. what happende to all e talk bout e fun stuff like learning how 2 teleport n read minds n stuff? all tt was offered was crap like philosophy. damned socrates made e 2 young jedis n a 1.5m short droid named khai fall asleep. history was too old too. whats film and history got in common? trust the sith lords to come up with wierd schools of thought.
geography seemed to b e most popular. perhaps, the idea of metamorphing the ground beneath oneself is a much sought after skill? our jedis r not impressed. the sight of old friends from the jedi junior college , though, made them feel much at home.
at last, they went for the economics 'booth'. inspired by the fact that great jedi master Goh C.T.P.0. was a graduate, the two young ones had visions of their own future.
"man, mabbe we'll become supreme ministers in the roung lightning table one day."
time check showed that it was past noon. the two had an appointment at centrepoint. a solar-system in the middle of the orchard galaxy, some 20 light aeons away. out of desparation, they resorted 2 take e fastest known teleporter there. on the way, mic received incoming signals that his training mates at the prestigous TRACOM were calling him out for a Star Wars movie. heh. what has this world come to. lame movies. sheesh. wat next? Star peace? who has ever heard of creatures called human beings tt posses powers akin to an amoeba? haha. wat r light sabres anyway? are they too weak to carry heavy metal ones? "whadeheck, im in"
another signal reached mic's communications device. it was chang this time... another friend from jjc. he seemed desperate for a crumpler case for his music creating device. this young jedi has special powers not many possess. he has e ability to dispell all mainstream ideas and create a niche of his own. as nick went for a makeover, mic joined chang for some 'scanning'. he too got a crumpler case; but instead for his communication device.
nick joined the 2 later on in a fast food diner tt openly proclaims to b e king of burgers. chang leaving for church, e other 2 go off to the far reaches of the eastern nebula. in this region, the creatures don the wierdest outfits. robes give way for knee length socks, body piercings and artwork on flesh. oh yea, did we mention wierd colour combinations? if there is one reason darth vader destroys this planet, its bcoz of scums of society and wierd (read 'individualistic') dress sense.

Words came from my sorrowed lips,
Too few happy times in toture,
Scrape the flesh off my body,
In my own heart all distinctions are gone,
Vanished to a broken foolish dream,
Turned only to tearful nightmares,
In my head, even in good times,
All happy thoughts die to the lies,
Could I live in this hell,
Where painful tears have stung my eyes?
Tell me if you remembered what I looked when you said nothing was right,
At night when the lights where gone,
I... left to histerically wonder to my image,
If anything I was could have possibly gone wrong,
If I am only doomed to forgotten memories,
Like everything else that fades away in your eyes,
Could I have loved to see your face, or speak the words,of true love,
Perhaps then would my soul be saved,
But ill are your attempts that seem to only benifet you,
If saving me from this is what you seek,
Then seek not in only your gain, but in something real,
Not in your warped thoughts but at least in your heart,
Forget what everyone else said,
Forget what you could only see is there,
Look where you should have started, and not in simple random words,
Say what where your true intentions are and stop the lies right here...
I know you've seen her, I know she's there,
Do not speak to me in sonnets if you speak the same with her,
I am not like that... I am not like them... I refuse to tame... I refuse to yield,
I know the sanity to your madness....


whopper for supper
5/15/2005 02:47:00 pm

went to changi airport for makan late last night. raining heavily. heck, visibility was fucked up. cars were doing 30 on e PIE. many had their blinkers on. heh... even cabbies were going slowly. e airport was pretty crowded. unsually crowded. swensens was packed 2 e max like never b4. so ended up eating at burger king. sheesh. travelin 30km for a burger... reminds me of harold and kumar go to white castle.
at e airport saw this one ang moh guy... like in his 60s, scavenging for food... literally eating left overs. had a jaded look on his face. carried a small duffle and cardboard box and he was wearing a cliched singapore t-shirt. made me wonder... tis dude is he relli poor, stranded or juz being a cheapskate.
haha. e rain was super cool. i took lots of pics of lightning shots n stuff. damn nice. e street lightin gave a sorta warm effect.
on e way back, went via AYE. damn. its relli faster comin back via tis road. so i guess it ld b cheaper in a taxi too? e rain had died out. e roads were empty. taxi drivers were zooming by. so naturally, e car was doing 130. haha. cool.
one thing ive learnt is tt its ok 2 speed if u see a cabby speed. if hes goin slowly, den smtin is wrong.
