The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Ever wonder how does it feels like to see everyone around you dies off slowly of old age while you grow younger? Ever understand how much it hurts to not be able to grow old with the your other half as you guys are drifting apart as the years passes?
~> I'm 86 years old when I was born.
~> We were both 5 when I first saw you.
~> I will never forget those blue eyes.
~> You are odd. You don't look like your age. Light this candle up, don't be a chicken.
~> You are the most beautiful woman, the most... beautiful.
~> I have to go, I'll write to you... promise.
~> I came all the way hoping I could sweep your feet of tonight, but...
~> I was cruel. I can't have you seeing me in this state. You are perfect.
~> Do you know I've been struck by lighting 7 times. Haha! :'D
~> Sleep with me? Absolutely!
~> We practically lived on a matress together for that whole period of time.
~> Will you still love me when I grow old and saggy?
~> *Rains* I think you'll leave first before me. No, I think you'll leave first before me.
~> I have your child. What are you afraid of? That she'll be like you? Then all the more I'll love her.
~> Did you count her toes? Haha!
~> She needs a real father, someone who can grow old with her.
~> He sent me postcards from everywhere around the world.
~> Why did you came back?
~> I wish I could send you to school, I wish I could teach you to play the piano, I wish I could tell you to be careful with guys, I wish I could be your father...
~> When I look into his eyes, I knew he recognised me.
“My name is Benjamin Button, and I was born under unusual circumstances.”

Fate may be fickle, but what we do with the time on earth is in our hands. I'll be waiting, all you have to do is just come. I keep waiting but you'll never come. I got tired of waiting, wondering if you're ever coming around, my faith in you is fading. I'll take you somewhere we can be alone. You'll be the princess and I'll be the prince. Don't be afraid, we will make it out of this mess. It's a love story, baby just say.... yes.
p/s: What are you thinking? I'm thinking of how things wouldn't last forever. No.... there are some things... that last forever... :')

Love Remains The Same

A thousand times I've seen you standing
Gravity like lunar landing
You make me want to run till' I find you
I shut the world away from here
I drift to you, you're all I hear
As everything we know fades to black

Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending

I find a place where we escape
Take you with me for the space
The city buzz sounds just like a fridge
I walk the streets through seven bars
I have to find just where you are
The faces seem to blur
They're all the same

Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending

I never thought that I
Had anymore to give
You're pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
But love remains the same

So much more to say
So much to be done
Don't you trick me out
We shall overcome
It's all left still to play
We should've had the sun
Could have been inside
Instead we're over here

Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending
Too much time too long defending
You and I are done pretending

I never thought that I
Had anymore to give
You're pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
Everything will change

I, oh I, I wish this could last forever
I, oh I, As if we could last forever

Love remains the same
Love remains the same

Messy Heart

I woke up with this strange feeling. I feel so uncomfortable with the way things are right now. Unfinished revision, messy heart, heavy head, my mind's spinning with everything that revolving around me. Look at my heart... Argh.... save me.

It's been awhile since I last feel this way, a confused and unsettled heart. It beats inconsistently... a little fast, a little slow, clouded by several things at one go. Is it the coffee or is it me or the sleep or.... This is suffocating, I need some space to breathe. Hope my exams will be done soon and I can clear all these mess. Made a short prayer last nite. Sigh, back to books.

Slow Dance

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast
Time is short.

The music won't last
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask how are you?
Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?

You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short.
The music won't last

Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,
'Hi' You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift...
Thrown away.

Life is not a race
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

This is a poem written by a teenager with cancer. This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital. This young girl has 6 months left to live, and as her dying wish, she wanted to send a letter telling everyone to live their life to the fullest, since she never will. She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.

p/s: The clock will never tick backwards. Appreciate every moment & chance before you lose it, or lose someone. Live a life without regrets.

Viva La Vida

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

Emotionally Sick

I woke up about 2 hours ago. This clock ticks another 60 times, pointing the longer needle to 7, it's 12.35am. I'm feeling slighty emotional tonight, perhaps I slept a lil too much and felt so awake that some of the things I've heard and read strikes my mind. I read a blog given by a friend few days back. She shared her part of her life in it and I thought it was really sweet. However this sentence in one of her posts keeps repeating in my head now, "I don't want this to be a December fling". And a question pops up, is this just gonna be another few months fling?

Stay

What should I do?
What should I say?
All that I know
Is that I want you here
The ocean's won't flow
When you're not around
The silence wont fade
Until I hear your voice

For all the moments I needed you
For all the pain you put me through
For all those reasons you were apart of me
I wish you could find
A reason to stay

I wish you could feel
I wish you could see God,
I wish you would stay for one more day
The bridges will burl
The angels wont sing
But the broken will see
What's it's like to feel

Where are you now?
I just want to believe
I don't know where to go
Oooohh
I'm standing on the edge
I don't where to run
A reason to stay

I wish you could find
A reason to stay
I wish you could find
A reason to stay
I wish you could find
A reason to stay
I wish you could find
A reason to stay

For all the moments I needed you
For all the pain you put me through
For all those reasons you were apart of me
I wish you could find
A reason to stay

Work Work

9am... and the clock ticks, rushing from pc to pc. Such tideous and boring stuff, I yawned all the way doing it. 1.30pm, eating a tasteless hailam kuey teow mee, watching Raymond eating kuey teow goreng that looks more like mee soup, I said him, "If I'm opening a stall beside him the next day, he'll be crying without customers". 6pm, nobody's in the office except us, we made a mess of the place haha.... stealing mandarin oranges from the fridge, eating the staff's sweets, taking packets of snacks from random tables, unlocking drawers to check their private items, blasting our handphones and radio, story telling, throwing food around and thanks for that neck strap, "Mr low level" lol. The snacks I took, holy moly there goes my diet, I'mma pregnant 4 months. Those bunch of crappy friends are really funny, keeping me alive till midnight. 12.30am.... and the clock is still ticking. I'm done, finally. That was how I spent 15 hours of yesterday, working. My mum is like playing misscall with me and the smses yesterday, sorry guys I'm out of battery. I'm gonna sleep back what I lost today, skippin all classes!

Pretty Eyes

As we were driving
You turned your head and looked right at me
You couldn't see the road and it was scarin me
How beautiful you are when you get crazy
I have never felt so weak

Maybe I would disappear without you
Maybe I would fall into the sky
But I'm in heaven, orbiting around you
And your pretty eyes, your pretty eyes

We took the highway
That curves along the ocean on a Friday, ummm
The sun was falling down and you was shining
The rythmn of the waves was keeping time as
you were singing this

Look at all the stars up in the sky
They look alive
I wander whats on the other side
It's full of life

Someone Somewhere

Someone is waiting
Someone who understands exactly how you feel
Exactly how you feel
Someone is dreaming
Someone is hoping just that this will be the day
That this will be the day

That you take your eyes off the ground
Out of the blue
And see that someone is looking right
Back at you..

Maybe that someone's me
Maybe it's meant to be
Lovers, or strangers
Sometimes bombs fall quietly
Maybe it's chemistry
Maybe it's hard to see that someone is the right one
I hope that someone is me

Nobody's perfect
Nobody's perfect no one really knows the truth
All we've got's a point of view
And there's too many questions
There's too many questions and too many reasons not to try
There's too many reasons not to try

But you should take your eyes off the ground
Out of the blue
And see that someone is looking right
Back at you..

Where ya gonna go from here?
Cause everything you need's out there
And you can have it if you dare
If you dare
There's someone somewhere..
