Sarah
There she lay before me, her smooth and golden body wrapped up in the most delicate of material. Her scent was sweet, and yet dealt a somewhat melancholic chord with me. I advanced a little slowly, unsure of myself, suffering mostly from a virgin's jitters. As my hand moved toward to trace the outline of her curves, I shivered. There was this tingling, cold, yet pleasant sensation that assaulted my senses. Never had I felt this way before - could it be the next best thing?

"Darling...", I whispered softly. Her lack of reaction caught me by surprise. Did I say something wrong, or got off too quickly from my Train D'Amour?

Then it happened. She moved her head slowly at the beginning, it was almost unnoticable. Picture perfect, one might say. In an extremely slow-motioned gesture, her head tilted to one side, draping her long ebony hair across her perfectly sculpted shoulders. There was almost a breath of surprise from me, I swear, but just barely. I withrew my hand and gasped, as I did not realise my perspiration had seeped into her silk dress. The moisture from my gaffe did not embarrass me as much as the look on my face. Have I blown it?

Fortune favours the brave, so they say. I grabbed the situation by the scruff of its neck in youthful foolishness. I moved in closer, invading her comfort zone. A flushed face and heavy breathing followed. Will the first be the sweetest, as everyone said, or would it be as disappointing as a deflated member? The pressure was piling up on me, and something had to give. I cracked.

A rather strong odour permeated the room as the warm blennoid liquid trickled down almost imperceptibly. There it was, messily splattered across her hair and body. The darkness of her crowning glory and creamy skin became a blur to me, as it blended perfectly with the wetness of the intruder.

The dice was thrown, and the verdict must be given. Guinness Stout, Beer, and a raw egg from your local free-range chicken makes an excellent drink!

Badabing!
2 sides to a coin, just like every story. Knowledge is a double-edged sword, and it depends on what one does with it. Sometimes I just wish information is not that accessible, as the burden might seem overwhelming at times, but after a quick flip through the Scriptures, it brings everything into check. Knowledge is definitely potential power, but what a burden it is simultaneously!

Yesterday's been rough. My synapses are still dealing with the fallout of what's to come in the future.

I'm just about to reach the end of the road, and a fork opens up in front of me.

RAW is WAR!
Hmmm this is the second week that I pepper some of my meals with raw stuff. Admittedly, the leafy greens are the hardest to stomach since chlorophyll lends a bad, bitter, aftertaste to the entire experience. Carrots can get too sweet after a while, but my favourites are cherry tomatoes, garlic, and onions. Mmmm they really do lend a whole lot of flavour to the bitterness of greens. Baby corn's ok but its rather hard to chew them properly, I don't know why.

There's the Kindergarden Graduation to attend this coming Saturday, so many documents and stuff to file up, piling house chores (no thanks to my procrastination)...it is all adding up and I might need somewhere quiet to hide away for a while to regroup my thoughts.

Jasmine's quality of food (located at Wisma Katolik) has dropped...badly. Even if I dropped my pants standing up right here and now, it will still be higher than the depths that Jasmine's chef have descended to. The portions were measly, they were stingy with gravy and curry, and nothing was fresh, and the price left me extremely unsatisfied.

On a brighter note, I've discovered excellent vegetarian curry mee and jawa mee at Taman Free School. The stall's only open until this Friday before you guys get to taste it again next year. Hurry up while the Kao-Ong-Yah festival's still on! Don't stinge on the chilli when it comes to the curry mee...it's really, really, explosive :) *slurp*

Rigidity
OK I'm going to put this across the table. Some moral/ethical question, which I think the answer is pretty clear-cut but a lot of people have disinclined to acquiesce to my request (:P), throwing all sorts of objections my way.
We have 3 parties in a situation. A, B, and C are friends. There is a trust between A and B that borders along the lines of close friends. One day, A told B a story from its past, and B went home thinking about it. B could not sleep, because B figured out that A might need some help and so approached C about this matter from a neutral standpoint.
Naturally, when B told A that it has told C about it to get C's view/insight, A wasn't too pleased and lost its head. Lots of angst and feelings of betrayal flooded A's mind (tsk tsk). All 3 principalities sat down together and thrashed things out. Friendships broken were made whole again.

The question is this, when A told B that story, I think A should've also laid down the clause to B that it was meant to be between the 2 of them and no one else, no matter what good (misrepresented) intention B might have after hearing that. There are those who assume that such matters close to heart need a dose of common sense and nothing else, but isn't common sense a relative thing? Of course, laying down such a rule might seem weird or paranoid, but at least it leaves both parties' consciences clear.

What am I still doing in the office! It's Friday and there're tons of stuff to be completed over the weekend! Peace out, yo!

You're not supposed to cry
Woo hoo! Yesterday went exceptionally well with all the differences laid out on the table and the can of worms well dead and buried, thanks God! :D Hoepfully nothing of this sort will resurface in the near future, especially when I was minding my own business :P Sometimes the most well meaning of intention can come across as minsconstrued and misrepresentated, thus bringing the whole house of cards falling down.

Went to McD's for lunch this afternoon, and the McD radio was playing "Possibility". I smiled as I listened to that song (and even remembering some of the lyrics!), and it reminded me of the things that Nora used to do, say, act, etc. Hopefully she'll be able to find her footing real soon. The big sister I never had. All the best to her!

Its about time to get a haircut today. That mangled bush on my head is getting harder to manage by the day, and there's also tons of housework that's piled up :(

Iron sharpens iron
Man, word does get around with the fallen nature of Man. It seems that even though I'm ignorant and blissful (not so anymore), I still get sucked into a melodrama. Going over to Rita's place this evening to sort things out and hopefully everyone else has the cow-sense to stop pursuing the matter and move on with their respective lives.

Got caught in the rain on Saturday's hike and have been hit with a leaking faucet of a nose over the weekend. Took a nice, 12 hour sleep yesterday to recover (mostly) from my malaise. Time to get them anti-oxidant levels up by cutting down on dead food! Its going to be one tough week, this, seeing that I have bet with Melissa to go on a vegan diet. That means my char siew + siew bak appointment at Sky Hotel this Wednesday will have to be deferred to a later date :( Meat! Glorious cooked meat, how you swarm my tastebuds with ecstasy! Its been a gruelling 2 days so far, only 5 more to go. Bah!

GG Malaysian WCG contigent, GG Christopher Reeves.

The Rain in Spain...
Weather's isn't exactly top notch over here in Penang lately, its nothing but rain, rain, and more rain. There seem to be a dreary outlook across the skies, but rainbows have not been in short supply the past week. I always look forward to the moment it stops raining - there is just a renewed sense of optimism that washes over me, and I cannot quite put my finger on it.

Pesky has managed to make me salivate over the new Nintendo DS. With a RRP of US$149, and games published by Nintendo from US$29 onwards, it looks set to be released in the region of RM800 or so, with games starting from RM150. Touch screen! Voice recognition! Wireless connectivity! Final Fantasy Chronicles I & II! Mario Kart! If you aren't drooling already, get outta here! Of course, everyone's also going to turn their heads to Sony's PSP. It'll be interesting to see how things turn out as they slug it out with each other.

Was reading through Huai Bin's blog, and his recent post about experimenting with his balisong brought about alot of comments. He certainly writes in an interesting manner. The simmering rebel just below the surface does quite a number, and he definitely won't fall short when it comes to the amount of readers. It just leaves the begging question, when somebody does something that is not considered the "norm" and often perceived as "harmful" to oneself or society as a whole, and says that its all in good fun, is that really true? Proponents from either camps will most probably argue until the cows come home I guess, and leave nothing resolved. I respect him for taking a stance and sticking to it to the very end - these are the cholerics who make things happen while the rest of the world sits back uninvolved (which mostly stems from fear of the unknown), irregardless of whether he is right or wrong. As Sacha Cohen Baron put it, RESTECP!

Chot Hocolate!
I love Spoonerisms :) Banana Reaf Lice, anyone? A masket of bangoes. A scoop of Boy Trouts. Ahhhhh...better make a move on before the Spoonerism police get here!
Am looking forward to the Passion of the Christ this month end. At GSC, no less, in Dolby/SDDS/THX glory. All the whip cracking, skull bashing, beard plucking scenes! Aramaic language! Pre-Palestinian Israel! So much culture to soak up from that movie, whilst the tissues soak up the tears.

I was unpleasantly surprised by news that some myopic member(s) of the congregation have planted certain suggestions and thoughts into someone who's having a bad case of self-esteem. Poor girl is being misled, and once again when the iron is hot nobody wants to strike it. It seems that the church have many nice people, and sometimes their good intentions come across as a downright rude invasion of privacy. Ok my fuse is running short I'll move on to other stuff :P

Am thinking of getting a GBA SP with a Flash Card, because Pesky has been extolling the virtues of both :) Return of investment upon the purchase of both products? 4, maybe 5 months? Can I afford to take such a financial risk? I mean, there's actually *work* to be done once I get my grubby hands on the GBA. Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced, all the Mario remakes, Street Fighter, Doom II...the list goes on and on! Will need some wisdom from above to make a wise decision, seeing the fact that I no longer possess any wisdom teeth :P

Excel Force's getting listedon Oct 11th, and its a good buy. Why do I say that? Because of its fundamentals bla bla bla...ahaks. Actually its more of a hunch :P So Foogles, offload your PTB now and move on...I hear its debuting at 43 sen so that's affordable to such an affluent person like you. Head on to www.stockzen.com for your crystal ball predictions! :P

Flash...and it ain't Macromedia baby!
Am talking to Spiff on ICQ at the moment, and through the threads of our conversation I managed to pick out the fact that he was at the park yesterday. Apart for killer magpies and creepy looking trees by the park, it reminded me of our dear Spiff carrying a stick back at SS15 looking to bash a flasher's jewels in with it. That night was hilarious! :P

Had a double movie shot on Saturday night - Resident Evil:Apocalypse and The Bourne Supremacy. Both were pretty much what I had expected earlier, but shouldn't Osama and Gang have been caught much much earlier with slick agents produced by the CIA like Jason Bourne were a reality?

OK time to go. There's a whole lot of bird poop on my car. Thank God the rain has soften most of the poop that can be easily wiped away by some in dustrial strength toilet paper. Super hot weather + bird poop makes a hard piece of guano that leaves a mark on the paint long after you've washed it away - kinda like scars :(
