Sounds of Silence

Hello darkness my old friend
I come to talk to you again.....
thats the music planted in my brain that still remain
I can't help but to touch the sounds of silence
fools are those that echo the silence
but its the prophet that
speaks in the crowd
ignored by the world, filled with
just neon light and the silence
of the heart. My Words drop like
rain that only echo in empty faces
People only listen with their own listening
Echoing the sounds of silence
Whisper sounds of silence

The restless heart strings lyrics
of the mind. Silence like a cancer growth
on the mental space
Listen to the sounds of silence......

Japanese name

I was thinking of having a japanese name. Just like Steven Segal is called Shigemichi Take in Japan. It must be the Aikido stuff ringing in my head twenty four seven. I want to take up japanese language soon so that I can go train Aikido and learn some zen meditation in Japan.

Its not about the coolness, its about the Path of the Warrior.

What to do with a troubled heart

Its useless thinking what to do

Been thinking about her, missing her, wanting her but

what can I do

I'm like a beautiful parrot I saw at the bird shop today. So gentle and lovely but

chained down to a stand. I can only stare at the sky right before me

to see other soaring birds taking flight to new heights.

what can I do

My will to live is strong but

all that has to be awaken to do great things for

myself? for men, for the world? They wouldn't need me to move along in life,

She wouldn't miss me when I am gone, my spirit wouldn't pity my weaknesses,

my breath will stop, my world will go silent, the men I admire most will turn and walk away

what can I do

I am just a man

Dream land - Monaco

This is the dream land of the rich and famous. Where Formula Racing highlights the town every May. I paced through the town and the beach during summer walking in the lazy afternoon sun alone. Wondering I should get a yacht here myself.......... someday when I'm rich & famous.

Mr Brown.... Mr What??!!

Damn, Im super dazed on a friday nite. Spent all of it with myself. As I was writing this, im listening to the Mr Brown show Podcast, one of the Podcast I subscribe to...... Its kinda cool and fun to hear rather down to earth people like Mr Brown talking trash and making me laugh so much.

Nice work Mr Brown..... Im a Singaporean too. And I hate that bloody AngMo who release 10,000 birds and now my car is covered with bird shit!

Warm, Breezy, lonely, quiet, peaceful and the sound of my humming fan.

What "Will" happen

I like to thank all my friends and readers who have given comments on my blog and photos which I have taken. Its been some time since I get to write online. Most of my thoughts are written down on my own ediary which I dun really share.

Recently, I saw my future in a very uncertain mist. Much of the time I spend walking like a zombie, passing time without much an aim. It seems like a spiritual reccession for me. Words that are spoken like empty bags of air.

Can't sleep for nuts at night, left me half dead in the day and almost useless to the world. Holding the gates of of mind desperately preventing random useless thoughts to swamp my already helpless being.

I felt a very powerful force is just waiting outside the door of my heart. Like a strong arm that's gotta pull me out of the drowning waves, its going to be my guiding light shining so bright that no clouds or storm is going to overcome it, a harmonious flow of energy so soothing to my being that I can rest my soul upon. There is no turning back, just one life one chance one day one moment......

Where is the strong will I need to revitalised myself. Its a question I asked myself this morning when I was awaken. My sensei told me to will my being with a unified body, mind and spirit. That's what separates humanity and animal instinct. My next mission is to build a strong will, that's my path of the warrior.
