Whoaaaa....has it been that long?

Hi again peeps

I know its been ages since I drummed up anything (blame it on the erratic weather we're having for the past couple of years!!!) but all in all, its 'gewd' to be back.

Will update on life's lil trial n tribulation soon enuff....

Dare I say........

Whatcha Lookin At..Huhh

I Walk Lonely As A CLoud

I Walk Lonely As A Cloud

Going Cuckoo over Marinated Chicken.......

Butterflies in my tummy.....

....and I thought I was the only one !!!

Note to Self...Part Deux

My life is a shade of pale in comparison to your vivid existence, but nowadays I'm feeling relatively mature, comfortable and confident in myself. I believe I've passed through the grand psychological crisis of my early and mid thirties (depression, aimlessness, obsessive-compulsive disorder) and come out a slightly more rounded individual. Reflecting back on this inkling sensation of my so called 'life' I sometimes wonder just how little progress I've made or can make.

C'est la vie, or perhaps C'est une vie.

Is this just wilful eccentricity on my part? I pray that it's not a lost cause, not in a long shot one hope.

Alas, I bid thee farewell my friend, as time is not on our side. Hope to hear from you very soon.

A fellow traveller.....

Ode to thee, OoOo Flying Remora

Let's Haiku.......


Come over with me
and together let's play
Oh, motherless remora

Ocean like a dewdrop
though it's on my back you cling
even so, even so

Sunlight
trying to paint the highlight
on top of waves

A time of beaches
abalone shells
and lovers without memories

Mossy rocks
the empty side
of the ocean

Infant tapeworm
to burial changing room
This utter nonsense!

Haiku...haiku.....haiku


Capt' Ahab, Ship Ahoy!!!

I havent read this for a while........ its still worthy of a good reading.

DESIDERATA
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, And remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly & clearly; and listen to others, even the dull & ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud & aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain & bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing future of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity & disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue & loneliness. Beyond wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees & the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labours & aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery & broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.





P.S - Many dreams may be discovered upon the soles of the feet. Tread softly as you may tread upon many of those dreams

How Do I Love Thee?

Poem lyrics by Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

A rose by any other name.......

Trip of a Lifetime

A Diving we will Go!!!!!

I recently had a chance to do a wee bit of scuba diving in Sipadan, Kapalai and Mabul off Sabah Island. Basically we took the boat from Semporna to Sipadan (about half an hour away with 300-400 horsepower behind us) in the morning and dive our way at the neighbouring islands and coral garden area within its vicinity. After a short break at the island -had our fill of local delicacies, a bunch of us headed to the South Point, probably one of the top dive sites in the world.

I lost count of the white tip reef sharks resting at the bottom but the icing on the cake was the encounter with a six foot tiger shark - Whoooaaaaa Boy!!! LOL. Imagine that. We had some great time looking up at the Swirlling Barracudas (will try to post some of the pictures here, if there's any request :-)) Giant Napolean wrasse, too many turtles to count and squids + octopus towards the shallows of the dive.

The food was good, the weather warm but heck, who's complaining.

Wish you were here!!!!

My luvly Imaginary Cath

Now give us a big kiss then.....muaaah

Where do we begin........

Errrrr........Friendly, tolerant and adventurous in discovering other people and cultures. Confident and loyal to a fault. Love to travel and meet a special person to discover life with.

Maybe instead of attempting to describe who I am with a barrage of cliche and empty words, it might be more helpful for me to just write and let you make up your own mind about who I am. I like to spend my time being creative, being educated or just laughing my ass off. I have the soul of a clown and I often confuse people when I'm attempting to communicate with them on a serious level. I'm completely absorbed by music and many forms of art. I like to think about things, share my thoughts and ideas with others and in return listen to their theories or experiences. I love debating and philosophising with people, but also a complete fool...on occasions. I wonder about everything, and at everything, knowing only that the more I discover the less I know.

I have always longed to be more like the person I am not and yet have felt nearly satisfied with the person I have become. Well, if none of that rhetoric helps you to see the real me, then it's easy for me to tell you that I'm kind, considerate, honest, caring, dependable, wild at heart, have the urge to see the world and strive to be an individual in all circumstances. Errr.....better stop my rambling then, heh.
