serenity

Elegance is usually confused by superficiality and fashion.That is a grave mistake.
Serenity comes from the heart.Although often tormented by thoughts of insecurity,the heart knows that,through correct posture,it can regain its equilibrium.The physical elegance I’m talking about comes from the body and is not a superficial thing,but our way of honouring how we place our two feet on the ground.That is why,whenever you feel uncomfortable in that correct posture,you should not think that it is false or artificial.It is true because it is difficult.It makes the path feel honoured by the dignity of the pilgrim.
Many archers complain that,despite many years of practice,they still feel their heart beating anxiously,their hand trembling,their aim faltering.Archery makes our mistakes more obvious.



-POULO COELHO-
The tiger (Panthera Tigris) is a mammal belonging to the Felidae family from the Panthera genus.
In the wild, tigers mostly feed on deer, wild boar, and wild cattle, including gaur and water buffaloes, young rhinos and young elephants.
Humans are the tiger’s most significant predator, as tigers are often poached illegally for their fur. Also, their bones and nearly all body parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine for a range of purported uses including pain killers and aphrodisiacs. Poaching for fur and destruction of habitat have greatly reduced tiger populations in the wild.
At the beginning of the century,it is estimated that there were 100000 tigers in the world,but this number has decreased to 8000.To put it bluntly,tigers are disappearing in the wild and are being increasingly endangered with the continuous act of tiger-poaching, habitat loss and population fragmentation.
In Malaysia, it is believed that the population of a certain species of tiger is now narrowed down to one.1.Satu.Wahidan.Ee.Gunne.
This species,a.k.a. the Aiman is now considered highly endangered and is in desperate need of a breeding type to further enlargen its population in Malaysia,and so forth on planet Earth.
It feeds on a number of much interesting prey albeit having a peculiar diet consisting of those similar to omnivorous creatures,including chicken,red meat,fish,a number of vegetables and unbelievably,cookies,cakes and other sweeteries.
On a peculiar note,this tiger can be seen amidst the bustling towns of Taman Tun Dr. Ismail and other largely crowds of people in Kuala Lumpur,wearing clothes.Sources say that it is being harnessed by a human family that provides sufficient food,clothing and a suitable habitat for it in the heart of Taman Tun.It can be seen sometimes roaming with other men around its age of about 17 to 18 years.
The presence of such a tiger is also noticed in a popular shooting studio in Taman Tun where it is seen amidst cameras,lights,screens and several top Malaysian actors and actresses,namely Maya Karin and the widely known director,Shuhaimi Baba,also known for writing top selling movies entering the international screen such as Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam and Ringgit Kasorrga.
Its behaviour is relatively unpredictable; sometimes playful and joyous,other times it may be dangerously alert and in search of victims.
Having said so,it is a lovable creature and in the heart of many youngsters (a.k.a NAIL) and teenagers alike.Currently free from the dangers of poachers and hunters,it is hoped that this tiger will chance a long life and will not have to face the same luck as many of its unfortunate brothers in the tropical rainforests of Malaysia and other jungles in the world.


Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright,
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?…

see my math....

I called the relationship off! Note I’m typing it in public,so it does NOT mean I’m trying to keep it a secret from some people or whatever. I’m happy I did it. We’re happy we did it.And God knows I was never ready for this sort of thing anyway.Relationships need too much trust,and patience and emotion and diligence. Everything I don’t have.It’s not that I wasn’t serious,it’s just that sometimes in an equation, you need a plus and a plus,or a minus and a minus to equal up to a plus, e.g.
(+2) x (+2) = +4 a plus.
(-2) x (-2) = +4 also a plus.
but if (-2) x (+2) = -4 you get a minus.
.’. if you want a successful relationship,both partners have to be very responsible and loving, or both have to be unreliable and heartless.

huhuhu

7th book..

Yes,the book’s out folks! And quite surprisingly,I was so blur of the outer world+internet that I managed to keep away from spoilers, meaning I had a jolly good 4 days reading with the utmost content and surprise! Lol, my biggest apologies to those who had to find out who died before reading the actual book. Internet sucks that way, but yeah, that’s the price you pay for the electronic age.
I shall be writing my review of the 7th book here,so NOTE:SPOILERS.
The book was crap.
Well that’s what I think. I could barely stifle my yawns all through the pages, and I have to admit that it was actually putdownable, unlike books like Nick Hornby or King, where you can’t stop and everything else comes second, eating, bathroom, stuff like that. There were a few heartbeat moments, like the kiss and the bringing back mom and dad from the dead and all that, (plus the extra gripping wars) but put aside, I had myself a book with nothing but messages and a hopeful effort by J.K. Rowling.
Personally, I felt Rowling had all her younger readers in mind; which explains the beautifully planned ending(which I think was the worst part of the book) and the love-conquers-all message. I was a little disappointed, because I really hoped she would remember that most of her true fans are about my age by now, what with her first book coming out like 8 years ago. I expected a more realistic ending, and I certainly expected more of Rowling.
But hey, she has her fans, young or old. And it’s still a bestselling book, no matter what I say, so.lol

LIFE from 'YUI'

Doro darake yo najime nai tokai de,
Onaji you ni warae nai utsumuite aruita no,
Isogi ashi de surechigau hito-tachi,

ATASHI mada MOGAite iru..

Kodomo no goro ni modoru yori mo,
Ima wo umaku ikite mitai yo,
Kowagari wa umare tsuki..

Hi no atari basho ni dete,
Ryoute wo hirogete mita nara,
Ano sora koete yukeru ka na?,
Nante omottanda,
Tobitatsu tame no tsubasa,
Sore wa mada mie nai,
KANTAN ni ika nai kara ikite yukeru..

Nureta koinu hiroi ageta dakede,
Chotto warae chau hodo,
Namida ga koborete kita..

Aisaretai aisaretai bakari,
ATASHI itte ita yo ne,
Motomeru dake ja dame ne...

Kodomo no koro wa MAMA no koto,

Ikite yukeru...

TRANSITION

In the familiar, dirty city,
We walked with our heads down,
unable to laugh in the same way,
People hurry past,
"Has your dream come true?",
I'm still struggling...

I'd rather try living well now than go back to when,
I was a kid,
Cowardice is being born..

I went out to a place where the sun shone,
and held out my arms,
And thought,
Could I cross the sky?,
I still can't see any wings to fly with,
It's because it's not simple that ,
I can go on living...

Just picking up a wet puppy,
Made tears overflow,
in a way that was funny...

I want to be loved, I just want to be loved,
I said,
but you can't just long for something...

When I was a kid there were days,
when I hurt my mother terribly,
I want to,
change everything now..

I went out to a place where the sun shone and,
gripped tightly with my hands,
I can smash that place, that time,
and change my life..

But there's no way I can tell you,
everything that's in my heart,
It's because it's not simple,
that I can go on living..

I go out to a place where the sun shines,
and open up a map, but
I know... you know...,
You can't help getting lost,
I can change my life..

All the days that have passed,
have made me who I am now,
It's because it's not simple that,
I can go on living..

Just kiling some time to write on of my favourite japan artis name YUI......

Oh don’t get me wrong, there are a hundred more tracks I’d love to add to this list, but due to finger-heaviness and the laziness I am overwhelmed with, I’ll stick to this short list thank you very much

Just a little something out of the blue I decided to write. Enjoy!

The moon is a peachy fuzz coloured lamp, sheltered by soft dark cloud blankets. Somewhere around the corner, a couple of rats squeak in agony (to my disgust), the multitude of their voices multiplying as they reverberate through the brick walls.
I choose to sit on a spot of grating not far off from the neighbourhood dump, fumes of a week’s worth of pizza, old lunch and rotten eggs wafting from the half-closed bin. The stench is nauseating; but I am used to it. About a yard away from me, lies dead, black, and wasted. A blackbird, apparently poisoned by the garbage of which it has religiously vultured upon until its last, sorry breath.
The alleyway is dimly lit by a pityful fluorescent nightlamp motted with houseflies, providing little luminescence, barely illuminating the end of the barren cul-de-sac. This is a safe enough place for me. They won’t find me here. For now, at least.
I dig into my anorak pockets and fish out a damp cigarette. Into my mouth it goes, as I fumble my khakis for a match. I light the cigar, lean back and close my eyes, inhaling deep into oblivion. I feel a sense of relief, almost humor, slipping downwards from my dirt-specked face to my cold chest, the way darkness descends for nightfall.
I open my eyes and puff smoke rings around me. They blur my vision, they blur the sad fluorescent lamp, and for a moment my eyesight is useless… but it’s okay. I have lived in too much danger and hysteria to be disturbed by such trivial physical disturbances. I have warmth in my clothes, and solitude in this cornered dump. I am free in what I have. I am alone… and enjoying every single moment of it.
I close my eyes again, and give in to euphoria.
