Poem by an African Kid

This poem was nominated by UN as the best poem of 2006, Written by an African Kid

When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in Sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black

And you white fellow
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you gray
And you calling me coloured?

drinks on a monday night? 7 apr...anyone?

2 more weeks to my exams! i'll be lying if i said that i wasn't nervous or stressed about it...but I've had adequate training when it comes to failing on the first try..so that elevates the tightening of knots in the stomach slightly

7 apr seems so far away...yet not far away enough...

never incur the wrath of pantang ms lee!!

mahjong is one of the vices that i indulge in..
heh..surely i jest..coz there's still drinking and eating..
but darlings..the pleasures of life is there for you to enjoy, and you should definitely not shortchange yourself!

anyway, my darling friend of 15 years (as she has proclaimed in her blog)

had very unfortunately lost $100 to me on the dong-nan-xi-feng table one fateful tues night..

n she had attributed her subsequent losses to me - coz she hasn't paid that $100

so one saturday morning (abt 2 wks later)..i receive a call asking if i'll be home and she would come over just to pay me the $100 coz she was going to play that same night..!!!!!

to my horror..i got 2 ang paos (thanks to PwC), 1 filled with $1 coins and the other with $5 notes..and to think i thought she was kidding the whole time she threatened to go to the bank to get 100 $1 coins just to pelt at me

pantang friend of 15 years..u win!

哀悼

已经很久没有这种感觉。。有一些伤感,有一些莫名。。
公公昨天上了西天,而今天我们到了叔叔家楼下见证了盖棺的仪式。。。
见到婆婆那么伤心,看着她六十多年的伴就这么“搬家”了。。
真的觉得生命是如此简单。。一个仪式,几句祷告,公公就被搬入他的下各道路。。
有点微妙吧。。

虽然我自认跟自己的亲戚不是很亲,但在这个时候,大家真的是一家人。。。
我看着一大班的叔叔,姑姑,阿姨,堂兄们。。有一些归属感。。真的不可思议。。
我只能说我公公是个很幸运的人,有了这么多后代,而大家都似乎和平的相处。

或许我姐姐是对的吧。。跟我们的堂兄们混在一伙也有另一番乐趣吧。。
可惜我们从没有开启那扇门。。只好记住让下一代有另一种体会吧。。
我并不觉得自己的生活有什么不好。。只是偶尔也会想想跟家人好好相处到底是什么样的生活。。

其实得事情后。。我的生活根本没有任何的改变。。有一点莫名。。
我还照常去打排球,还跟朋友们吃饭,还去卖冰淇淋。。怪怪的。。
无论如何,现在的我真得有点担心我爸。。从不多话的老爸。。
希望他可以大哭一场,或借酒消愁。。什么都好。。只要我能陪他就好。。

岁月真的不饶人啊。。。
