I’m nowhere near good when it comes to editing photos.. but for this 1 particular picture (of myself) taken in Penang, I think its worth sharing. In the original foto you’d see me resting my head at the edge of a bed, with white wall as the background.. the artistic>coloured pencil filter, plus the render> lighting effects filter made the light coming from the top right angle looks natural, as if coming from the the daylight sunshine coming through the window of a small room. Original foto : taken in the hotel room where my friends and I stayed during the recent marathon outing. Hotel room quite big, and was not dark at all (picture taken during day time).
I so wish I could write sorta poem/ or anything poetic from this edited picture. But unfortunately I’m lacking ideas right now..(I’m in a rush actually…). Will update if any ideas comes in. 🙂

as i rest my head
at the edge of the bed
in a white room
natural light in full bloom
rendering an artistc effect
thro’ the window of a small room,
distant memories flickers thro’
the filters of my mind
of love lost and found
of friendship lost and found
with effects so profound
the second time around

Memories
as i rest my head
at the edge of the bed
in a white room
with natural light in full bloom
rendering an artistic effect
thro’ the window of a small room,
distant memories flickers thro’
the filters of my mind
recreating memories
of feelings so sublime
of love lost and found
of friendship lost and found
with effects so profound

i wish
i luv this pic
cos it’s so chic
i wish i could write
what’s in my heart
wish i could believe
i am a poet apprentice
effortlessly writing
without even thinking
but alas…
lacking ideas…
maybe tomorrow
who knows
when the rush stops
and the idea pops
but until then
maybe a friend
can help find
words to describe
this magical vibe
someone who can
rhyme words with his pen
from the beginning
till the end
Life
Life is but…
a series of near misses
what you didn’t get
you misses
what we ascribe to luck
is not luck at all
it’s the chance to pluck
and grabbing it all
It’s seizing the day
and say hey hey
i want to live my life
i want to survive
it’s accepting responsibility
it’s about accountability
at the end of the day
like frank sinatra say
i did it my way
but life is but…
a series of near misses
what i did’t get
i sure misses
2009 and in control 1
once in a while
time in a lull
when i am doing nothing
time to do something
and have that time
time so prime
totally to myself
time to delve
time for some reflection
my actions and expectations
and pondering upon
of time gone
my mind wanders
Like globe trotters
imagination goes wild
like monkeys agile
and i begin to think
what life bring
2009 and in control 2
And i begin to think
what life brings
recalling the past
makes you frust
predicting the future
makes you unsure
living the present
is sometime pleasant
cos i was blessed
with time for rest
with some luxury time
with time so prime
and space for myself
greater than wealth
mysoul, myjewelz…
filled me with glee
Mysoul has been ‘quiet’
Not much of a riot
the past one year
tho’ not one of fear
leaves me drifting
drifting not shifting
away in the calm sea
feeling nausea
only to be swallowed
but not mellowed
by the rolling waves
but i have to be brave
is that the end?
What do reckon my friend ?
2009 and in control 3
is that the end?
What do reckon my friend ?
i can almost feel
that’s its real
I am drifting away
Away far away
Maybe a blur case
What a waste
me blur ?!
excuse me sir !!
not in control ?!
biar betul !!
I ve been nowhere
I am nowhere !
for the first time in my life
I am feeling ‘old’ lah
i never felt like this before
what furore…
Hi! to anyone or everyone
Baik u jangan
to ask me if i know why ?
u jangan nak pandai pandai

Hi! to anyone or everyone
Baik u jangan
to ask me if i know why ?
u jangan nak pandai pandai
of course I am kidding
cant u see I am winking
I will tell you in a jiffy
To all my sweetie…
coz we’re getting older
And as we grow older
that concentration angle
narrows down to a single
to only one particular angle
that wont cause shingles
but its called ‘ourselves’.
Yes ‘Ourselves’
PLUS anything else
That you can spell
which has a strong relation to it
but it’s discreet
Anything as in anything
That you can think
which you may consider crucial
but not brutal
and important to myself
and yes myself
Be it love, career, interest,
Whichever comes first
And passion, money, properties
Choose as you please
Anything as in mycase
And in the top place
its my family
it has to be
my studies and myself
yes myself
myself and my sports
in case you forgot
something I relish
Sports as the side dish
And hopefully it will be there
Something I really care
all my life
it gives me the drive
It has to be
That’s me
2009 and in control 5
something I relish
Sports as the side dish.
And hopefully it will be there
Something I really care
all my life
it gives me the drive
It has to be
That’s me
cant imagine myself
yes myself
lazing my butt 24/7
drinking soda from 7-eleven
on the chair
without a care
on the sofa
drinking soya
on the driver seat
looking neat
or just reading
actually skimming
surfing the net
without a fret
in case you forget
just in case you forget
hafta get physical also right ?!!!
allrite…
I just hafta get it clear
That you understand dear
that patience is a unique virtue
pesan semua anak cucu
One that you dont wanna mess with
In case u cant breathe
It brings psychological wonder
Beyond the blue yonder
And I am not afraid to tell myself
Lest I left hanging on a shelve
‘hang in there JeweLz!’
U are ready from A to Zee
coz i am
else I will be in a jam
and will hang in here
yes here there and here
i just hafta prepare for the best
and pray God will take care of the rest
2009 and in control 6
Some of my friends tell me
that they envy me
that I m still studying
and still enjoying
some ‘missed’ privileges not enjoyed by them
And some of them
even advise me
to make full use of this ‘luxury’
Just keeping it low key
but achievable
and manageable
Go Julie !
Go Jewelz !
Make your pronouncement
psychospiritual enhancement
what a mouthful
makes u doubtful
really hafta concentrate on this one
cant sleep till half past one
mysoul has been ignored
for the past 12 months
it takes some wisdom and effort
to work in spurts
to really do this…
it’s not a breeze…
it makes a zillion lot of difference
and not just mere good intentions
by those who does care
and those dont take care
of their spiritual being
lest tomorrow will bring
a total disaster zone
that makes you frown
I m aware of that
It’s what I dread
so ego and worldly fancies aside
i hafta to take charge
i really dooooooo…
i really dooooooo…
Friends Revisited Again
Friends who are true
Will stick to you like a Uhu glue
They don’t slip away like an eel
When you grab them as you squeal…
Where is my soul mate ?
Why is he so late ?
is it worth it all ?
to believe or not at all ?
Cos life is worth the living
When you keeps on believing
That friendships are friends and ships
That help you to equip
For Life long journey
Which is not all sweet and honey
But friendship is worth it all
Especially when you fall
Only to get up again
Don’t you not refrain ?
But think on what has happened
And what do you reckoned ?
Was it painfully sweet and spicy ?
Or was it a bit dicey ?
What ?!! you are not that choosey !!
Cos it makes you happy
Cos friendship is spice
Giving meaning to Life
Cos friendship is priceless
Its nature selfless
Cos friendship is comfort
when it’s what you wanted
But then again… what if…
Then the grief…
But then again… what if…
then the relief
the grief and the relief
in cyclic shifts
Is it really worth it ?
Or you doubt it ?
Will your heart be broken
And you cry an ocean
For that one person
Without rhyme or reason
without time or seasons
But it’s true my friend
From now till the end
The answer is the same, again
The answer is the same, again
Go and give yourself away
Go love selflessly today
You will find love come back your way
You will find friendship come back your way
For friendships are more than just Life’s flavorful spice
Every act of love you give will come back to bless you twice!
Every act of love you give will come back to bless you twice!

The Thing Called Love
Everyone’s talking about it…
and everyone wants to know more about it…
almost everyone wants it…
and no one truly understands it.
People have been trying to understand it
and explain it
for as long as there have been people at it
If you don’t have it
then you want it.
But the harder you look for it,
the more elusive it
likely becomes … oh… s*it
If you once had it,
but then somehow lost it…
in your abject misery and pain,
you demand to know why you lost it.
But no reason given is ever going to be
enough to satisfy and soothe the pain of your loss, no siree
It mystifies
… get it ?
And if you’ve decided
you’re one of those people
that has great difficulty keeping it alive –
then you search endlessly through books, magazines, WIFIs
and gurus
and what have you
for magic formula instructions
… useful information
on the care
and feeding of it…
What is it?
What is this wonderful
and awful thing
that usually hits us
like a bolt from the blue?
Hitting you thro’ and thro’
The Thing Called Love
Truth is…
don’t laugh
the more we try to pick love apart…
you will feel just like a retard
the more we attempt to dissect it,
scrutinize it,
dismember it,
analyze it,
control it,
and subject it
to the light of reason
and rational thinking –
the more you will be blinking
the more you spend thinking…
the more “the thing called love”
elusively slips through our fingers, my friend
like so many million grains of sand.
Modern science reduce “the thing called love”
to being little more than
a “chemical communication”
in the homo sapien
caused by pheromones
that we share with the rest
of the animal kingdom.
Yes, the animal kingdom
And for that matter,
an innocent enough 30 second platonic hug, sir
releases chemicals in our bodies
that provide both the huggers and the huggees
with a temporary irrational sense of well-being, you see
So, it’s no science fiction
That love‘s destructive, addictive qualities, sir
is a dysfunctional and co-dependent behavior
similar to drug addiction
yes, similar to drug addiction
Hamster
My hamster was always there,
Eating and playing without a care.
Soft and warm he always was,
A small, fat ball of fuzz.
All night he would nibble and run,
He always had a lot of fun.
I always loved to see his tiny face,
Running in his wheel as if it were a race.
Hamsters are cute!
Hamsters are Neat!
Hamsters are fuzzy and cram when they eat!
When they run on their wheel!
Their Big Shiny Eyes have tons of appeal!
Hamsters are snoogly when they run on a shelf,
Hamsters are snugly when they clean themselves!
Hamsters like security and hardly ever fall
But hamsters are hyper when they run in their ball!
A small little creature that can do so much
that has a way with people that can touch
without a care in the world
spinning away life twirl after twirl
yet as they spin we can escape
to the world of a hamster, simple and safe
as they have no idea how much they mean
just how much they help us that can only be seen
by a little hamster who is pure of heart
never selfish, just simple attention to start
so when you are sad, or having a bad day
just think of your hamster and how it would say
“don’t be upset, come home and take me out of my cage to play!”
I m getting a hamster
I m getting a pet
I m getting this semester
That u can bet
Whats in the name
That u call a hamster
Tom Dick Harry Jame?
No way Mister
It has to be none other
than Bob
Yes Bob!
