angel of the morning

just touch my cheek before you leave me baby
then slowly turn away, i won't beg you to stay
with me

it is new year's eve... i've just realised that i am in the grieving process, but it has been a very well and healthy process.

my shiny blog has kept me bright and polished. hmmm... blog therapy?

i should start writing a book...

on a drive down delhi road

singing to myself on a happy sunday morning
this song brought back memories of more naive days
with a yearning for life that was alife with zest
that was ripe with love beyond comprehension
have you ever really loved a woman?

all through the night


and then it came...
additions that conjure up norms that deviate from the past
conjuctures may fly but progress may follow
ramblings from the past evoke alternative solutions
big, huge parties may never find their path
and tumbling waterfalls gush with troublesome wear
i am a little bit mad
but little parts make up the whole
normal behaviour make up clever souls
erratic behaviour make up exceptional minds...
that is my form of order within chaos

mirror mirror on the wall























who's the shiniest of them all?

let them come to me before
i close my eyes and shut the door

the fugees killing me softly

strumming my pain with his fingers
singing my life with his words
killing me softly with his song

could there be a more eloquent way to describe things? this has always been a favourite song for its lyrics

a song, a life, a blog, a book, an obsession
i've got all that a girl needs!

and it's oh so softly painful...
killing me softly

a bejewelled hand like mine



my coffee cup is my companion at night
keeping a shiny blog is hard but fun work
and my eyebags are getting worse

bejewelled like me!

together in electric dreams

gumball worshipping


behold the Great and Terrible Gumball Deity


Idol of the fearful...


but she does yield some yummy tasting skittles... if you happen to please her well enough

doris day once I had a secret love


what a lovely song

once i had a secret love
that lived inside the heart of me
all too soon that secret love
became impatient to be free

...now my heart's an open door
and my love's no secret anymore

covet




Pretty possesive...

I want to fly to you



Happy Birthday my great King.

You're beautiful
That's for sure
You'll never ever fade

I'm like a bird
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is

But my love is true, yeah...

from cafe del mar

the heady young days of walking along the bangkok streets at night

our love...
is swollen

liang jing jing

did this make you look?

I was teaching a little girl to recognise a 'happy' face. When I asked her to look at my 'happy' eyes and asked her if 'happy' eyes 'sparkle', her response was,

"Yes, but I think your eyes sparkle because you put sparkly things on it..."

I didn't know whether to feel sparkily 'happy' or sparkily sad...

two gorgeous japanese men



gosh people must think i have too much time on my hands at work...
next on my list is this song from the 90s by who else but chage and aska.two very shiny people. i love the way he puts his hands in his pockets when he sings!
i think of all the video clips this one is the best.
enjoy!

P Ramlee's Getaran Jiwa "Shudderings of the Soul"



What an old fashioned melody. Love the lush breezy warm scenery of the malay village and countryside. Zaleha is one buxom lady who does not look at P Ramlee as he whispers sweet nothings to her - instead she stares dreamily ahead.

You don't see Malaysian actors hold hands like this anymore in movies these days.

Shudderings of the soul
Invade my heart
Beautiful arrangements
Of melody and song

Although it is but humble
But it does not matter
I do hope it will evoke
Feelings of love in you

I will never lose it
This melody and song
It is like a flower
Always sweet with nectar

If one day I should lose
This melody and song
I will be weak without a soul
Ever broken

this man

This was recommended by a friend. Lelaki ini apparently caused a furore in Malaysia when it was released.

Lelaki ini yang selalu mencinta mu
Tanpa ragu

Lelaki ini yang selalu memuja
Hanya diri mu
Yang bertakhta dalam sanubari ku

flower in my hand


this was a design created for revenge.

long story but at least the end product was satisfying.

haha PLUS i got a compliment for it.

i want to draw you beautiful things today


my little 'surrogate daughter' drew me...

is that the ultimate compliment or do i sense that i am looking rather like a witch?

painted nail and ring


blink blink. blink blink.

created this with some difficulty as my nails and not chipping them was top on my priority!

blink.
