Sunday Scribblings: Goosebumps. 2007-08-11 16:48:17 I was home late from work
had to entertain some big-time jerk,
when suddenly my car broke down
beside some scrub, an hour away from town.
As I was putting back on the car’s wheel hub
I heard this strange noises coming from the scrub,
a noise made of groan and moan
a noise unlike any I have known.
In the distance I [...] Read more:Sunday

If I were a millionaire… 2007-08-10 16:13:03 If I had a million dollars today
to use for my own, whenever I may,
I will have to stop and think
for if not, i’ll just buy unneedful things;
If there’s one thing I want
that is I need a place to haunt,
my own private place to settle down
somewhere quiet, quaint and far from town,
to be at one, [...]

A nightmare…. 2007-08-08 17:24:13 I had a dream…
late night
a silence like
never before
a darkness that cut
deep,
I heard loud and
shrill
voices,
a cacophony of whispers
unnatural sounds
seemingly faraway
but without a doubt
near,
very near.
Shivering chill
up my spine
goose pimple
all over my skin,
in the darkness
out of bed I alight
feet shuffling
heart a beating
furious
uncertain thought
kept swirling about.
A scraping noise
under the bed
hoarse breathing
the floor a shaking

Looking For A Long Lost Friend
Dear Readers,
We hope that you can spare some of your time reading this article. It would mean a lot to one of our good friends in the blogosphere, if you can help her in this.
Our good friend named Sandy is currently searching for a person whom she had always regarded as her best friend. They were very close to each other, until a conflict between them arose. Ever since then, both of them lost touch of each other.
It has been nine long years since they last communicated with each other, and Sandy is deeply affected by her best friend’s absence. Her greatest wish right now is to reunite with her best friend and be close to her like before.

Driveway, free online file sharing 2007-08-24 04:05:47 The bulk of my bandwidth usage every month is from file sharing. I usually downloads all my moe stuffs (anime/manga etc) and shares these to my forumer friends using various file sharing services. Driveway.com is one such online
file sharing services that I’ve recently found out.
Driveway is a free service. There’s no registration required, as such, using it is very hassle free. It’s accessible from any internet-enabled computer; all you need is just the ubiquitous browser.
To upload or download any files, there are only 3 steps needed:
1. Browse and select the required file.
2. Provide your email address to receive the “Download/”Delete” links by email. This is optional, but if you did not give your email address, then you’ll definitely won’t be able to delete the file in the future.
3. Click either the “Send Files for Read” or “Send Files for Edit” option.
And that’s it. If the transfer is successful, you’ll view
Poetry Thursday - Let Us Sleep Now 2007-08-23 05:56:51
My tribute to Wilfred Owen for PoetryThursday
Let us sleep now…
to leave all troubles behind
’tis I go lonely
as I strive to fill my heart
through my existence
singing - a heart of joy
crying - that of sorrow…
let us sleep now,
and wait for the new born dawn.
This week Poetry Thursday prompt is using the last line of a poem as a jumping-off point for a new poem.
My jumping off point is the line “Let us sleep now…” from one of my most favourite poem, Strange Meeting by Wilfred Owen ( 1893 - 1918).
Strange Meeting
It seemed that out of battle I escaped
Down some profound dull tunnel, long since scooped
Through granites which titanic wars had groined.
Yet also there encumbered sleepers groaned,
Too fast in thought or death to be bestirred.
Then ,as I probed them, one sprang up, and stared
With piteous recognition in fixed eyes,
Lifting distressful hands, as if to bless.
And by his smile, I knew that sullen h Read more:Sleep

My virgo girl
it’s her special day
let us celebrate today ;

so let us all make delight

Sunday Scribblings: I get that sinking feeling… 2007-08-26 10:31:24
A darkening sky
The shadows lengthening by
The retreating sun
The darkness creeping in
As time passes by;
You were crying now
I get that sinking
feeling
I’ll never see you again;
This is the last time
I held out my hand
To touch your beautiful golden lock
To look at your tear-streaked face
To see what’s reflected in your eyes…
Where there were love and passion before
Now replaced by sorrow and grief.
Farewell, this I accept
Even if I taste the bitterness;
This I feel when I see you off
The loneliness, the emptiness…
Will both remain with me forever?
I’ve only just get on-line, and saw this week prompt for SundayScribblings

Dialaflight - Flights to New York 2007-08-30 16:31:51 My wifey will be going back to Notts, UK in October to defend her thesis and for her final viva, as such to celebrate the end of her exhaustive research we have decided to take a break and go for a holidays to New York
city before returning home to Malaysia. So once again, we turned to the internet to shop around.
One website that particularly caught our attention is Dialaflight.com. We were lucky as right now DialAFlight has some great holiday offers and cheap flights deal. When we checked the listing for flights to New York, we’re quite surprised by the amount quoted as it offered us quite a huge saving. DialAFlight offers flight to all three international airports that serviced New York, namely the JFK flights, LaGuardia flights and Newark flights.
The best thing about the DialAFlight site is that you can book all of your holiday needs on the site. DialAFlight is a leading independent UK travel company offering flights, hotels & travel ideas worldwide. It is full of useful

All expectation we’ve surpass
A great nation we’ve become

For though we’ve progressed far
Lest we become what we despise

As the cheers fill the air
As the Jalur Gemilang take flight,
Rise up, be proud, and declare

Poetry Thursday: An Open Window 2007-08-30 02:49:49 Here’s my entry for the final PoetryThursday
. This week prompt is “an open window.”
There is a boundary
to our emotions
for if left unchecked
won’t it overwhelm us
completely?
Who wouldn’t want to be engulfed
in love,
the euphoria
of the tenderness, the
sensation of desires
awakened
energizing, stimulating
arousing?
For all of the emotions
imprisoned within us,
the pent up anger
the repressed hatred
the tainted jealousy
the blinding faith
the guiding hope
all are
an open window
to your inner self…
your soul.
Look then
into your soul
and find
your true form.
Look then
not for perfection, but
learn to attained
a balance
a beloved form.

The Gift of the Soul 2007-09-17 14:34:38 Writers Island’s prompt this week is: “The Gift“. So, here’s a haiku on my interpretation of the Gift.
The gift of the soul
That what would we
consider to be the best gift,
the purest heart is
Without a pure heart
the soul is an empty void
soon, lost dreams prevail
Shadows of a dream
malignant that lingers
living a cursed life
Never dare to hope
desires that scorn the self
have you no pride left?
Why struggle-
for is it not contempt
that awaits you?
It’s human nature
to become wise later -
sad, but it’s the truth
How we all hide now
too scared to face the truth
destruction awaits us
It is not too late
for this soul of ours
to search for redemptions
The gift of the soul
salvation that heals
full deliverance
Embrace your soul now
for we are mortal beings
soon we all will die
Let make our short time
counts, banish all the shadows,
live - have no regrets.
I admit, I have been feeling very lethargic these past few days. Guess, the monotony of work

I Love PPP! 2007-09-14 02:30:51 I was asked this by the PPP team, “Do you love PayPerPost?” “Why?”
Well, of course I do. PayPerPost (PPP) is simply the best! They’re amazing! Why am I saying this? This is because PPP is the only paid posting solutions from all the others that I’ve signed up to that had given me assignments without fail week after week.
Actually, I don’t blog for money. My blog is mainly about my whimsical escape into the land of moe through poetic means. But then, if there’s a chance to make some monies at the same time, why not right?
And the best thing apart from money that I had received after signing up with PPP is extra traffic. PPP is an excellent traffic generation source. Why I say this? Well, since signing up with PPP, the traffic that I get from Google searches on the PPP topics that I’ve signed up to is almost 15% from my overall monthly traffic. The screen shot below is just a few of the Google search that I’d received for Sept.
don’t ever be afraid… 2007-09-13 02:54:16
Go on
confront your fear
may it be fear of the unknown
or fear of the inevitability
or maybe
it just
fear of life itself
don’t ever be afraid
.
Our life is
a never ending journey
go on
face it
continue your journey
don’t ever be afraid.
The path of your life is
not straight
it is a path
full of obstacles
it is a path
that will always
fork
at the most crucial of time.
Don’t be afraid
to choose your
way
whichever way it is
don’t be afraid
to tread
though you’ll never know
wherever it might
lead…
don’t ever be afraid.
Keep going on
as far as you can
keep going on
as long as you can
keep going on
just keep going on…
don’t ever be afraid.
