Christmas
And so another Christmas has passed. I do feel a little sad that the occasion has become so commercialised and Santa Claus seems to be dominating the scene while we forget the person who is so key to Christmas that His name is used in forming the word for the occasion. An illustration brought up [...]
As deep blue fades to cloudy skies
As monsoon waters pour from high
Bringing fields to muddy waters
Dirtying the sons and daughters
With lights strung up and flickering bright
With colours twinkling into the night
With carollers’ lists of many songs
With pleasantries of melodious throngs
Under pine trees decorated, by your feet
Lay boxes wrapped up nice and neat
And dreams of elves [...]
City sidewalks
Busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Greeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells
Silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling
Hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day
And if you all haven’t heard the Take 6 version of this song, then you really ought to [...]
I bought the recent FFXII and tried to play it the other day – it’s a vast difference from the traditional style of Final Fantasy playing and the battles are definitely executed very differently.

Tomorrow i’m off to the VCF AnnTIC camp, held in Port Dickson, and will be gone till the 16th (Saturday).
I know the previous statement doesn’t really sound very full of zest and excitement, but i really am excited – but i’m also apprehensive about this year’s Anntic. Of what in particular, i have no idea. [...]
the way the thoughts pour into my mind into my heart into my soul battering my conscience and prick me where i’m weakest poke me when i’m not cautious get me overreacting thinking too much reading too much into things flooding my emotions and clouding my judgement can’t stop thinking wanna get these out of [...]
It seems to be that i’ve been standing pretty much alone on what i value, referring mainly to opinions. Sure, things of fact and truth i can find people who generally agree with me, but on value judgement i’m pretty much on my own. It is really so difficult to ask something without [...]
