good poems

"You are young and beautiful,
Sweet as the breath of May.
Earnestly I speak to you.
Weigh ev'ry word I say.

If you want to have a rosy future
And be happy as a honey bee,
With a husband who will always love you,
Baby, Don't marry me.

If you want a man you can depend on,
I can absolutely guarantee
I will never fail to disappoint you,
Baby, Don't marry me.

I eat litchie nuts and cookies in bed
And I fill the bed with nutshells and crumbs.
I have irritating habits you'll dread,
Like the way I have of cracking my thumbs.

My grandpa was a big game hunter,
He met grandma swinging on a tree.
If you want to have attactive children,
Baby, Don't marry me.

--I would like to see my sons and daughters
Sliding up and down their father's knee.--
They'll get splinters in their little fannies,
Cookie, Don't marry me.

I'm devoted to my dear old Mama,
And if you and Mama disagree,
I would always side with her against you,
Schnookie, Don't marry me.

--I would always like to know where you go.
I don't like a man to keep me in doubt.--
Honey that's a thing that's easy to know,
You will always know where I am, I'm out!

I am talking like a Chinese uncle.
I'm as serious as I can be.
I am saying this because I love you,
Darling, Don't marry me!"

"I have wished before,
I will wish no more.

Love, look away!
Love, look away from me.
Fly, when you pass my door,
Fly and get lost at sea.

Call it a day.
Love, let us say we're through.
No good are you for me,
No good am I for you.

Wanting you so, 
I try too much.
After you go,
I cry too much.

Love, look away.
Lonely though I may be,
Leave me and set me free,
Look away, look away, look away... from... me."

the 37 cliche - the day of escapism

wasted effort walking so far from little india mrt station to mustafa centre. was hoping to change some sing $ to taiwanese currency, but not a single money changer had it in a small amount. shucks. no i wouldn't take the 1500 note, of course!

been about more than half a year since the last time i went there; with mom :)

missing my family and everyone else in Indonesia, as always.

..hmm, the attempt didn't succeed. i wonder why - very picky, maybe? despite that, finally found something somewhere else! unexpected, but satisfying. i didn't exactly know how to react. should i be surprised? should i act normally? but, anyways, just let go. although still seems very familiar and feels very close, i know i don't want to go back. this new one should be able to make me happier - now and also in the future, i hope.

tomorrow onwards - a great escape. but also a very deadly one.

neglected work, missed lessons - shucks that I'll need to catch up and work even much much harder after coming back. (yeap, accumulated neglected work since the beginning of the year due to training + everything else when i'm away)

can't wait for this to be over. next year. hope i can make it through at the end of this year. i need YOUR help, really.

they'd better let me in tomorrow although without the visa - the letter had better be sufficient!

hoping to have a fruitful experience at the end of it.

thanks God - for your merciful help and blessings in making it all come true :)
