Lay Lady Lay

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I’ll show them to you and you’ll see them shine

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you’re the best thing that he’s ever seen

Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he’s standing in front of you

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead

Lyrics: Bob Dylan

Hedonism (just because you feel good)

I hope you're feeling happy now
I see you feel no pain at all it seems
I wonder what you're doin' now
I wonder if you think of me at all
do you still play the same moves now
or are those special moods
for someone else
I hope you're feeling happy now

just because you feel good
doesn't make you right (my love)
just because you feel good
still want you here tonight

does laughter still discover you
I see through all the smiles
that look so right
do you still have the same friends now
to smoke away your problems and your life
oh how do you remember
me the one that made
you laugh until you cried
I hope yo're feeling happy now

just because you feel good
doesn't make you right (my love)
just because you feel good
still want you here tonight
I wonder what you're doing now
I hope you're feeling happy now
I hope you're feeling happy now

How Sweet It Is (to Be Loved By You)

This song by Marvin Gaye is a gem that always brings back good ol memories of a certain someone. Maybe someday, i will get the chance to relive those memories ...
 
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs and there you were
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
You were better for me than I was for myself
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

Lyrics: Marvin Gaye




Tales In My Head 2

As i looked up at the stars that night,... i wondered if that was going to be the very last time. At dawn, we were to go to war...me and my men. We weren't pitting our lives against another nation or a tribe. We weren't even going to face an army. We were preparing ourselves to face the might of one man...a murderer...a wicked being...No ..A MONSTER!

He went by the name of Kabal..though it wasn't a name bestowed upon him at birth. He has been known by many names..., names that he had stolen,...names of great men he had slain. The last of them was Kabal...the king of the barbarians. The barbarian tribe, or what was left of it went to battle to seek revenge for the death of their ruler,..but they failed,..and they paid for their failure with their lives. Fearless George and his men fought with great courage,..but it wasn't enough,... it was never going to be enough against the mighty monster!

As i contemplated the outcome of our battle the next day,...i was overcome by fear. I feared for the lives of my men, the lives of the children and women...most importantly, the life of mine. The great monster was not coming for us. He was only interested in taking the head of our emperor, Barnaby The Fifth.The outcome would be inevitable. He would get what he wanted, regardless of whether he had to face an entire army or not! The only difference would be that a few thousand lives, including mine, would have to be sacrificed unnecessarily.I thought long and hard about it,..and i made my decison

That night, as our emperor, Barnaby The Fifth, lay asleep in his castle, my men,their wives and children, and i, General Lionheart,fled the country...and we never returned.

The End

The Great Below

staring at the sea
will she come?
is there hope for me
after all is said and done
anything at any price
all of this for you
all the spoils of a wasted life
all of this for you
all the world has closed her eyes
tired faith all worn and thin
for all we could have done
and all that could have been
ocean pulls me close
and whispers in my ear
the destiny i've chose
all becoming clear
the currents have their say
the time is drawing near
washes me away
makes me disappear
and i descend from grace
in arms of undertow
i will take my place
in the great below
i can still feel you
even so far away
i can still feel you
even so far away
i can still feel you
even so far away
i can still feel you
even so far away
even so far away
even so far away
even so far away
so far away

FFS,...i don't know what's more stressful in NTU,..studying for exams or  registering subjects... The people up there need to have thier fuckin heads examined for coming up with a system that makes planning a timetable such a chore!

Monday, July 26, 2004

Today must be one of those days....i got a call to play football later in the evening, but i was in 2 minds about it! It didn't take me long after that to make a firm decison not to play! A certain Archangel crocked yesterday(so i know he isn't going to play)..and i am currently feeling the effects of having played some serious football the last couple of days(it's been ages since i played football 2 days running!) I am feeling pretty lethargic,..and i am in no mood to exert myself! I remember feeling the same last Sunday, but nonethelss still played street soccer at Bedok,... and it wasn't a pleasant experience! But the irony of it was that we started off well, winning our first two games(we never did that before at Bedok)..but after that we were on a complete downward spiral, losing all our games and each time playing worse than the pervious game! Never will i ever consider playing football again if i don't feel like it!

It's a pity the crowd didn't turn up at NY to see that magnificent goal conjured by TSY..cough.. that would have brought back sweet memories of Steve Macmanaman..cough.. to the Liverpool faithful. But i'm sure it was a welcome antidote for his ego after suffering the ignominy of relentless losing playing ' Winning Eleven'(see the irony) earlier in the morning...haw haw haw!
 
On a more serious note..school resumes on Monday....ARRRGHHHHHHHH!!!



Tales In My Head

Part 3

Fearless George was on his knees. He was moments away from potentially having a portion of 'Excalibur' sticking out from the other end of his throat!

"Please spare me oh mighty Kabal! My hunger for vengeance was ill advised...i plead with you my lord,..do not take away my precious life from me " he begged with tears pouring from his eyes.

Kabal looked at him quizzically...looked up at the heavens in bewilderment, and then burst out into an uncontrollable fit of laughter!

"You're funny Georgie boy! I'll give you that! I haven't laughed this much since 'Handsome Bob' fell on his face in that beauty contest!"Kabal proclaimed.

"HA HA HA HA HA! Now that was bloody hilarious! But that was fuckin ages ago! God damn! It's not easy to tickle your funny bone is it!! For me it's almost a routine to laugh atleast once a week" said an amused Fearless George.

"Oh really! Are you implying that i don't possess a sense of humour my dear Georgie. Are you suggesting that i have an inferior capacity for humour! "muttered Kabal, wagging his 'Excalibur' at Fearless George, enraged by his audacity.

"No Mighty one! You have misunderstood me! i meant no malice! There was no intend to show you any disrespect!" pleaded Fearless George.

Fearless George crawled on all fours towards Kabal, grabbed hold of his legs, kissed his filthy feet and begged for mercy.

Kabal looked down at Fearless George and with a smile said "Sorry Georgie,..no mercy."

Kabal raised his 'Exaclibur' high up in the air, and then in one swift motion drove its blade down into the brain of Fearless George! Fearless George felt a sharp pain coursing through his head for a brief moment before it was lights out of him.Kabal pulled out his sword, kicked aside the lifeless body and spat on it.

"You know Georgie, you look so fuckin funny...you should look at yourself...ha ha ha ha! Goodbye Georgie..i hope you're feeling comfortable down there..ha ha ha!"laughed Kabal.

The vultures circled around the body of Fearless George, as Kabal walked off into the sunset, with 'Excalibur' mounted on his shoulders....

The End???

ARRGGHHHHHH!!!!!

NEWS FLASH!! THE AMERICANS ARE AT IT AGAIN!! They take a perfectly good idea, contaminate it with their unique formula for cliches,and make it their own! The 'Coupling' i was referring to in my previous post isn't the same as this pile of horse manure masquerading as a sitcom on tv now! It's a yankee bastardizaton of the original british comedy,and i just realised that to my utter disdain!! !





Well Cheeky was up to his usual nonsense again! I won't go into details,...i mean just what could one say about someone who has phobia of travelling on the MRT, but who has no qualms spending a fortune on taking a cab to school, wasting his money and everyone else's! He wakes up at 9,..but somehow manages to take 3 hours to get ready to go to school!! Cheeky is the epitome of ridiculousness, a symbol of unbelievable idiocy...a physical representation of anti-intelligence of insane proportions!

It's been days,..but it's difficult not to think of a certain someone and be saddened... It's just very difficult to accept the present situation. But i guess everything happens for a reason,..and ultimately it's for the good of one and all. Just how long more i can go on like being like this remains a mystery.

Tommorow brings forth fresh challenges,..in the form of 'Winning eleven'! Somebody who lives in the vicinity of Serangoon central(and his name isn't Vikram) is going to get his arse whipped, and i'm gonna simply luv it..just luv it!

'Coupling'; at mignight on channel i! An outrageously funny sitcom that pisses all over 'Friends' any day of the week!

Tales In My Head

Part 2

As he ran,drops of sweat rained from his pores, panting like an asthmatic Rottweiler, Fearless George imagined what Kabal would do to him if he got to him! The vivid pictures that flashed in his head, of being sliced wide open and having his insides cut to bits filled him with absolute horror! It inspired him to increase his pace!

He ran for miles and miles when something occured to him. He stopped in his tracks and turned to look behind. None of his ' Infidel Bastards' were there! Fear gripped him! All his men have been slaugtered and he was all alone! He felt a presence a turned to face his back,...and his heart froze! Kabal stood there brandishing his blood drenched 'Excalibur'.

"You killed them all you vile beast!" uttered Fearless George.

"Yes, and with much pleasure! The last one begged me for his life. He pleaded with me not to deny his month old child a father. I simply plunged my sword into his chest and ripped his heart out!" said Kabal with a maniacal smile on his face.

"You monster! You have abused the power bestowed upon you by the sword! It doesn't belong to you!" snarled Fearless George.

"'It doesn't belong to you'! Those were the EXACT last words of Arthur as he lay slain by his own sword in my hands! HA HA HA HA HA! "laughed Kabal hysterically

Tales In My Head

Part 1

Kabal swinged his axe...and in one mighty swoop, heads were seperated from their bodies,..and blood was sent gushing up in the air like geysers. Kabal led out a war cry as he charged the rest of the 'infidel bastards' that stood in his way! The 'infidel bastards' led by Fearless George, looked in horror as Kabal carved a bloody path through them, sparing none who stood in close proximity!

Fearless George wasted no time in making his next order ,"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR YOU FUCKING IDIOTS!! RUN!!"

Fearless George ran like lightning as his troops struggled to keep pace with him! As they fled, the unfortunately slower ones were slain dishonourably as Kabal cut everything in his path, leaving a trail of death in his wake!

to be continued...


CHEEKY

I don't know if Joel Schumacher will ever make a decent movie....i suppose he never will...but perhaps the question we all would like to ask is,...WHEN WILL CHEEKY EVER LEARN TO BE PUNCTUAL!! i mean,..i do not proclaim to be a great champion of the cause myself,..but this cunt needs to be taught the art of being on time for all our sakes! If you have trouble imagining the seriousness of this issue,..let me recount an incident me and vikram had the misfortune of experiencing recently. Vikram and i travelled from our respective homes in serangoon central and ang mo kio to bedok, where cheeky's from, to play football...which is all fine...but we were flabbergasted walking on our way to his block to discover that it was less than a 5 min walk from the bus-stop(he gave us the impression the previous week that it was like miles away when he took 20 mins to get to the bus stop ) But what was more bewildering was the little matter that we had to wait for 30 minutes at his void deck for him to get his arse down!!!And what was his excuse!!! he was having lunch!!! Yes, our dear friend was having his lunch at 5.15pm when we were supposed to be playing football! I guess he had it all timed to perfection, that he would begin his lunch from the moment we got to his place,..so that we would have to wait for him like idiots while he's munching on his prawn sandwich watching sun tv!! Today was no different i'm afraid...he was supposed to be at a place for a meeting at 2,..and makes it there at a record time ...arriving at 430!! Wonders will never cease! What's even more incredible was his belief that he could actually travel around with a dollar (he has no student concession either)in his pocket...from city hall.. to ang mo kio...then to serangoon central..and finally back to his home in bedok!!

Football yesterday wasn't too bad, though we got a real roasting from that chinese team! It seems we always get walloped by some team of outsiders! Usually, it isn't  the case of them being  so damn god, it's because we're simply that bad! But i loved some of those full blooded tackles i made,...it gives me a RUSH! It helps me to release all that pent up frustration! It's just a pity i no longer have the legs or the fitness to play anything like i used to a few years back! i miss those days!
