  • Hope Deferred Makes The Heart Sick

    I was promised to be given a chance
    at the end of the twelfth month.
    “What a wondrous pleasure,” I thought.

    This promise was my esprit
    but now an affliction.
    It encouraged when I am discouraged
    but now it drained my virtue.
    It also turned my sorrow into a merry heart
    but now where’s the joy?

    The twelfth month came
    but the promise did not.
    Meaningless! Utterly meaningless!
    Everything was meaningless without the promise.

    Three sentiments I have suffered,
    four, I am being pricked:

    My soul dries up,
    my emotions dominate.
    My self-esteem is gone
    and my heart is no God but God.

    How silly I am to believe in positive confession.
    Why does the present truth churches embrace it?

    Am I so worthless that I don’t stand a chance?
    What have I, what have I done to deserve this?

    Have I demanded too much
    the companionship of my beloved?
    How much is too much?

    Lord, you have taught me agape
    and keeping the integrity of a promise.
    Will you also teach her?

    Lord, I have decided once to fulfil my calling.
    Will you for once let her find favour in me?

    Lord, your kingdom come, you will be done
    till you grant me my prudent wife.

    Once truth I have found.
    One truth I have learned.
    One truth I never accept,
    today I have to;

    A promise must be fulfilled.
    A christian may not keep his promise.


    I wrote this when Sarah broke her promise to me. With a very disappointed heart, I wrote this.

    Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. (Proverbs 13v12)

  • Hare & Tortoise Challenged Again

    We knew the story of the race between the hare and the tortoise. There were many versions of it. The focus of the story was the tortoise won the race because the hare was proud.

    Part two. The tortoise and the hare challenged again. So who won the race this time?

    Tortoise because he set the finish point in the sea. Ha! Ha! Ha!

    Thanks for reading my lame joke!

  • 古惑仔 之 天地人间

    One of my stories in Zhuhai…

    One of the disco places I frequent was 天地人间.

    0200 Hour
    One of my trips there, I brought my sister over. Cut the story short, two chaps trying to abduct my sister. When I realised she disappeared from my present, I quickly hunted for them but I did not managed to find her but found one of the guys. The guy said she was in the toilet and I asked him to take me there. I dashed into the toilet but did not find her. I asked the guy where she was again and he took me on a merry-go-round and I finally got pissed off and told him I gonna call 110 if he still fooled around with me.

    I took out my mobile and dialled 110 and he ran away. I chased after him but lost him because he knew the place better than me. I was pissed off for losing him and I quickly backtracked and checked checked out who these guys were.

    0237 Hour
    Since I made the call to 110, the police came over. With the police assistance I traced these guys background further but the police was reluctant. So I got pissed off again with the police’s sissy attitude, I left the police and traced these guys on my own. I managed to find out their mobiles and called them but these people were rude to me on the phone.

    0805 Hour
    Tired and restless but I finally found out where these guys were from. They belonged to a hunan gang. A gang that I should be careful when dealing with them. I called my Big Brother for manpower and explained my situation.

    I requested for twenty 兄弟 (brothers) with tools but Big Brother said so early many brothers still sleeping. At most ten people for now. I said I would make do with ten. So I wasted no time and gathered my army to the two guys place.

    0948 Hour
    Fearless but worried, I went for my confrontation. bashing the door and demanding for my wanted guys. Fcuk! I was really in the wrong place because I was in someone’s turf. I was outnumbered although I had my gang with tools. I talked in chinaman style, loud and noisy demanding for an explanation what are the two guys trying to do. The place was like a wayang, lot of shouting and banging tables and I brain fcuked the two guys and asking them where was my sister. I was scared too but I got to do what I got to do. Then after all the noise and argument, outside came more footsteps. I said “die liao!” This time may be die in China. I was surrounded. Then my Big Brother said to me, “our men are here”. Phew! Take a deep breath and I relaxed.

    1110 Hour
    Then the two guys’ boss came out and talked on their behalf and we settled the matter.

    1223 Hour
    Then as I walked out of the place, I was surprised that we actually outnumbered them.

    So, this is my first 古或仔 story at 天地人间 in China.

  • My Powerbook Live In NAC 2006

    My Powerbook Laptop Live In NAC 2006
    After all these years, my powerbook finally went live in front of a total of 8000 audiences for 4 days at the National Achievers Congress in KL and Singapore. It was scary to be part of the production team because everything was done in real-time and we had no room for mistake. On the production stage, I was glad to see all familiar faces I had worked with before including crews from Unusual Productions.

    I was the DJ for the event. I had to arrange and use the right songs and music to flow with the live sessions. Everything was dynamic and we had to play-by-ear to flow with the event. Applications used were iTunes, Cleaner, Real Player and Quicktime. I was glad it was over and of course our production team had a great time too, although we were sleepless throughout the week.

    This time I had the chance to work with a lovely girl, Shirlynn, from Penang office. She was sweet and smell good. She was the production head for this year NAC. Felt bad for screwing up the show at times, like playing the wrong music and did not play or sync at the right time with the sessions, and got her scolded by the boss.

  • Starhuh! Cannot Hub

    Since I came back from China a two weeks ago, i do not have a local mobile contact because we have to register our particulars to use the mobile services. Two days ago i got myself a Starhub mobile prepaid card from an unauthorised reseller and was told to register my pre-paid card within three days of my purchase.

    On the second day, I went to 7-11 shops to register. To my horror, most of the shop staffs gave excuses and rejected my registration, telling me machine breakdown, the person in-charge not here, etc. Then I seek alternative. I went to those Starhub dealer shop. same old bullshits again. i did not know how many shops i have visited to get my registration done, but i could firmly tell you at least 20 shops.

    I was very disappointed to receive such treatment from my fellow citizens.

    With this type of services and lukewarm attitudes, Singaporean please stop dreaming of being a world class in quality service. Hong Kong had already stepped up their standard, progressing fast and we Singapore still playing marbles at the back of our courtyards and saying to ourselves, “I am good!”

    Finally I tried my luck in Cheers at Orchard Cineplex. To my surprise, the guy was helpful and got my registration done instantly. This guy was good, he powered up the computer to get it done. Whoever this guy was, I thanked you very much for making it my day.

    So What, if 7-11 always open? Time to change their tag line, “always open, not always have”

    Starhub should rename to Starhuh soon if they were to keep partnering with these mediocre mobile proprietors.

  • Cancer Of The Kiss

    “Hello! Hello! Is that you Dan Dan“ talking over my mobile phone.

    After a short silent came the reply “I’m Dan Dan’s sister.” Silent again. “She won’t be calling you any more.”

    “What happen? Why?” I asked anxiously. “We suppose to meet the last time and she suddenly disappear. Now is past 3 weeks.”

    Her sister said in a soft restrained tone, “”She won’t be calling you any more, not any more in the future.”

    “Why? Why? What have I done wrong?” I questioned her impatiently.

    “She is dying.”

    Then I remembered…

    Two months ago, I got to know Dan Dan through our friend, Lingling. Lingling lost her mobile and was sharing Dan Dan’s until she got herself a new one. Then one late night I woke up by a SMS sent from Dan Dan’s mobile saying “I’m unhappy”. I called and to my surprise, the SMS was sent by Dan Dan herself. In my sleepiness, I tele with Dan Dan and chat to our hearts content. We talked about everything we could find under the sun. We never met but conversed over the phone or instant messaging over QQ. She poured out her unhappiness on me. I consoled her and cheered her up, trying to make her feel good again. In return, she listened to my life complaints.

    After two months of tele-conversation, we finally met when I passed by her town. We went shopping and dinning. Although was our first time meeting each other, we felt like we knew each other for years. After dinner, we went drinking in a bar. We were so passionate with each other, I finally took the initiative to kiss her. I smooched her upper lip then lower, kissed again and frenched her. It was the best sensual kiss I ever frenched since I broke up with my ex three years ago.

    This three seconds french led us back to my hotel, naked. We continued chatting. We had so much to share that we wished we could stop the time and never see day break because I would be gone. Our night were solemn but not speechless. It was a short night but we felt like eternal. While I was telling her stories, she pacelessly motioned into my embrace and rested on my shoulder.

    Her soft silky hair lightly brushed over my skin, signalling me she wanted to be loved, to be cared just like a sparrow had found a nest to rest. She tilted up her head and looked into my eyes, a gesture to me she wanted to be touched. The rhythm of her heartbeats proposed to me she wanted it now.

    I gave her the affirmation by taking a deep breath and kissed her inch by inch backward to peck her ear. I unwrapped the towel to uncover her naked body. After giving her a firm rub on her belly, I finger-walked from her belly button to her breast and cup it fully in my palm. Then I circled her breast with my index finger, slowly, softly, sensually. Circling countlessly, her body arched and she snuggled tightly to me. By then I was necking her and I could hear her breathing, hard and deep.

    I nibbled inch by inch, lips by lips southward to replace my finger on her breast. Then I stopped to hear her heartbeat pounding in excitement. Moving south again, I exhaled my warm breath on her nipple. My fingers were now positioning outside her restricted lips. It was wet and slippery and any slight movement from my finger, I could hear her moan lightly.

    I paused, I thought, I stopped, because I could not forget the last love I once had.

    I caressed her back to give her my passionate affection. We started talking again, joking, complaining and laughing happily. Suddenly she revealed to me that she was about to die. She had cancer. I did not take it seriously, although I saw tears in her eyes. We talked about her finally days and making mockery out of it.

    I felt helpless and despaired when I knew she was gone but I did not cry. Maybe, perhaps, because I had given my last teardrops to my last love. I felt I could do something meaningful for her when she was alive.

    Life is precious and fragile. We only live once, so give your best shot.
