Bye Bye...

One by one the seeds were sown –
That was how crops were grown.
Drop by drop the flood was formed –
That was how crops were gone.
Block by block the bricks were laid –
That was how walls were made.
Bomb by bomb the land was shelled –
That was how walls were felled.
Bit by bit the rubbers were torn –
That was how people were born.
Year by year the time went by –
That was how people aged and die.
Cent by cent the businesses grew –
That was how names were debuted.
Part by part the rumors were passed –
That was how names were last.
Day by day nothing had happened –
That was how our world thrived.
Side by side our brethren were threatened –
That was how our world dived.

Help Available...

You are troubled and lost. Your sense of direction is camouflaged by your problems, and you wish to talk about it but just couldn’t seem to find anyone who is willing to listen to you. Some of them who listened to you provided immature solutions to your troubles, which are of little help and even aggravating the situation at times.

Therefore, you try to hide your troubles by ignoring them. However, hiding your troubles does not necessarily mean that they will be solved naturally with time. Somewhere down your road in life, these troubles will return to haunt you, thus damaging your mental and physical health as you once again try to suppress them.

You attempt to solve your troubles by confronting them. Unfortunately, it is easier said than done. The correct strategies have to be applied to optimally eradicate a problem, which you might think that you have done so, but the result just doesn’t turn out as expected. In fact, most people will just crash head on with their troubles and hope for the best. Sadly, the chances for success are no better than buying a lottery ticket.

Then here I come, to save your day. I am no superhero, nor am I a businessman. I do not simply zap away your troubles, but will help you solve them effectively and efficiently. I will offer my listening ear and my helping hand for free. I believe in helping someone for the good of mankind, and that money is evil and it makes the world go blind. I have high myopia and I do not wish to go blind so early in my life.

Now here come the barriers. You are shy, think that it is not nice to trouble me, or just find it troublesome to tell someone else your troubles. If you are shy, you can always email me anonymously. I’m here to solve your troubles and not trying to win your love or expecting something in return. If you think that it is not nice to trouble me, don’t think. You are of course troubling me by telling me your troubles, but sharing your troubles with me is one of the nicest things that you can do. Solving your troubles gives me one of the greatest satisfactions in life. If you find it troublesome to tell someone else your troubles, then I’m sorry I cannot help you unless you meet up with me and let me have a shot at reading your mind. It might take some time, but if you are willing to be helped, I am determined to help.

You can contact me on MSN/E-Mail. Be hearing from you soon.

Friendship...

A friend missing with time,
Is like the sun setting in the sky.
Sooner or later one will find,
Brightness will once again say hi.
One’s reluctance to congregate,
Is like the clouds drifting in the sky.
It frustrates the camaraderie formed by fate,
By blocking all contact at a blink of an eye.
Luckily the clouds though thick have rifts,
And is one of the things that will never change.
But as aims adjusts and focus shifts,
The sunlight that shines through is not the same.
So one constantly has the chance,
To meet a changed lost friend out there.
Even if it is just a glance,
It reignites the friendship both have once shared.

Is Being Kiasu Always Rewarding? Think Again...

As the temperatures soar,
Puddles of sweat merge on the floor.
Competition is fierce amongst us;
Everyone wants to be the first.
Finally the bus arrives at the bay;
Passengers rush up without delay.
Shoving and squeezing they try their best;
Once they sit down they feel very blessed.
They smirk at the others who yet to board;
Savoring the air-con and seat they hog.
The world is unfair though it is round;
In numerous ways that are too profound.
Somehow suddenly the bus breaks down,
Making the “winners” look like clowns.
The driver ran away to seek for help,
Leaving the unfortunate to sit and yelp.
Help arrives promptly but the bus is dead;
Those that think they are early are late.
After a while another bus came by;
As usual passengers rush up like they fly.
The previous “winners” are jumping like mad,
For they are trapped and not very glad.
When they ultimately manage to alight,
The bus is full and ready to take flight,
Much to the new winners’ delight.

Wisdom Teeth...

My heart is racing,
And my blood pressure is high.
My palms are dampening,
And my throat is dry.
I keep thinking of the stories,
My friends related to me.
They mentioned about the agonies,
And the pain they guarantee.
I stepped into the OT.
Feeling a bit queasy.
But come to think of it,
It wasn’t that freaky.
My dentist was nice,
And so were the other nurses.
Up that bed I was enticed –
Something I would not rehearse.
Then the needle was inserted;
Both eyes automatically closed.
My face and body were covered,
With only my mouth exposed.
Then came the agonizing wait,
For my gums and lips to numb.
To have those teeth is just fate;
I just anticipated what was to come.
First came the scalpel,
Slicing open my gums.
The start of my tooth’s disposal;
I just remained mum.
Next came the audible drill,
And immense pressure on my tooth.
I am grateful I could not feel;
It is best not to know the truth.
Cracking sounds were heard,
Indicating my tooth was breaking.
I tasted something sour like mustard,
Which I guess was my blood spurting.
My lower tooth was gone,
And it was my upper’s turn.
Again pain I felt none,
But the sounds all returned.
My gums were sewn,
When all was done.
The extracted teeth were then shown;
The experience was not fun.

Timeline...

For every beginning,
There will be an end.
It is just the question,
Of when.
Within the period,
From birth to death,
Whatever can be grasped,
Is inexplicable by math.
In the hospital,
The babies are born,
With innocent minds,
That will soon be gone.
In the schools,
The students will find;
Knowledge is limitless,
And love is blind.
In the corporate world,
Everyone will learn;
Money is needed,
But hard to earn.
In the families,
Some parents will sigh,
When their children revolt,
And rules they defy.
In the planes,
Bodies will shake;
Health is waning;
Some bones might break.
On the beds,
Spirits are low,
When they reminisce,
How fast they grow.
At the funerals,
Some children will cry,
Regretting their actions,
Before their parents die.
So much to do,
But there is still time.
Now is the chance,
When we are at our prime.
After this age,
We will be old.
Hopefully we will do enough,
To blissfully enjoy our soul.

From here. It's very accurate, considering I posted my poem titled "dilemma" before doing this test, and it appeared in this analysis of my character.

Dilemma...

Apart from the coming operation,
To relieve my wisdom toothache,
Now comes a decision,
I have to make.
They always say:
The grass is greener on the other side.
I am shown the way,
To cross I cannot decide.
There is this significant project
Entrusted to three of us.
To be able to connect,
We shall move to a new address.
But one wishes to stay,
And cover the other’s job.
I hope they do not delay,
Getting me someone besides a snob.
Now I am worried,
About my colleagues.
I am unsure if will be wearied,
When I am not around to fix.
The dilemma arises,
When my replacement is hard to find.
I detest such surprises,
Especially when problems combine.
Now I am vexed by the questions,
So will I get an understudy or not?
That is not in my jurisdiction,
But it determines if I cross or squat.
My friend is there depending on me,
I have to cross and lend my hand.
But with all outstanding debris,
How do I cross over as planned?

Your Country...

Ask not what your country can do for you;
Ask what you can do for yourself.
Fear not your country and all her rules;
It’s for the better of the nation’s health.
Quit not when your country is in a mess;
Think of the days when you’ve enjoyed peace.
Hate not your country if it makes everyone stressed;
Just picture your future salaries as it increase.
Jeer not when your country is hiking prices;
We must be competitive to stay alive.
Say not your country has no chances;
It’s up to you to be willing to strive.
Shun not your country when weather is sultry;
There’s less restraint in pubs and parties.
Fume not at your country for false democracy;
We are becoming a more inclusive society.

Class Outings...

Supposedly;
A class gathering this Saturday,
With my ex-classmates from 4/4.
Unexpectedly,
A message appeared on my cell phone display;
No more gathering after all.
Disappointedly;
Arranged another class gathering this Saturday,
With my ex-classmates from 2A.
Unfortunately,
A message appeared on my cell phone display;
Much to my personal dismay.
Deplorably;
Pushed my hopes for a group gathering today,
With my ex-platoon mates from BMT.
Suddenly;
A message appeared on my cell phone display;
Phew, luckily, but only five out of fifty.
