Have you ever done a search on Google or Yahoo! for phrases like "chua soi lek friendster layout"? If so, you’re not alone. Based on my recent scan on the search log, that’s one of the many bizarre search strings that have landed people to my blog. Well, it was rather amazing how that googler spend his or her time looking for a friendster layout bearing the pictures of our former health Minister Dr. Chua Soi Lek. Perhaps, the googler must be an avid fan of him and all i can suggest to him or her is to search for it at www.i-would-never-make-love-in-hotels-again.com.
Here’s another search phrase or keyword i came across in my search log: "TM Streamyx ringtone". I had to admit, if i were looking for a creative and unusual ringtone, one that would really set me apart from the crowd, i guess this is the one I would pick. But what exactly would it sound like? Modem dialing tone, perhaps? Or maybe the ringtone could double as a "friendly" reminder that your bill is due or overdue as it might play this song:
Streamyx is the best in Malaysia,
Broadband experience with no frill,
Even if we’re the slowest in Asia,
You still need to pay your bill
Or else you can kiss the web goodbye
Oh yeah, kiss the web goodbye!

It’s been a while since i last wrote a poem. It was last night during family CNY reunion dinner that I suddenly got an inspiration to write one. So here goes:
After a long absense
After months of waiting
It’s time for your presence
It’s time for celebrating
A warm welcome
A how do you do
Words of kindness
And comfort too
A perfect little unit
So happy all in place
From old to little kids
Show each loving face
It’s a family dinner
Discussions of your day
Saying you need not be thinner
Making that frown go away
Before going to bed
A goodnight is always said
A family we’ll be
A family, forever will be.
Happy Chinese New Year to all!

This is a poem with no name,
Because from a broken heart it came,
Words and thoughts, left unsaid,
Deeds and things, left undid.
We come and go,
placing ourselves outside
The hearts and lives others.
They try and try,
but still we run and hide.
Why is it that we hold out
on those who mean the most?
Why is it that we brag and boast?
Why bother ourselves with petty things?
Why can’t we just enjoy the happiness that love brings?
We all need something in our lives,
something good,
But yet we evade doing the things we should.
Instead of work we play.
Instead of taking each moment,
we waste the away the day.
But I say, no more.
Let’s hold each precious moment as it is, before
The end comes and takes us all away.
Now, that’s all that I say….

Listen to me - they’re not all bad,
In fact some are very nice.
I’m sorry if you think that
They are all as cold as ice.
A narrow-minded outlook
Is all you have on life.
They don’t go about with
Bible in one hand and in
The other one a knife.
Hypocrisy will burn all else
(and that it may pollute).
All else tries to stand well clear
But sometimes finds it can’t.
“Be sure” I say. Two kinds of people:
Those sincere and those who aren’t.
Would you deny somebody a chance
Of being heard fairly?
Or just dismiss him
Unfair and squarely?
So reconsider what you do.
He’s not as bad as you’d think,
But what you think is even worse.
Nobody’s perfect. Stop acting like everyone in the world is turning against you. And stop acting like you’re an angel that never lie or cheat, that never do a single thing wrong. You know better what you have done not only to others but also to yourself, your souls and your body. You know better.

I would very much like to know
What it is I wish to do
With my future I declare
I know not what I wish to do.I sometimes think I know
What it is I wish to do
But then I do start to wander
Over things on which I might ponder.
Having wandered far and pondered hard
I know what it is I wish to do
I want to do the same as before
Wander further and ponder more.
