things to live for

Dear shadow,

Since i'm so fond of making lists -- and never ticking them off, i thought one more is not going to do much difference to my already undone stuff. but i figured that this list should make me smile. once in a while. ;)

so here it is. my midnight madness meets dreamer self. please be warned that the following content is rather quirky, boring, repetitive and is not a definitive list.


Things to live for.


brand new toothbrush
the morning train rush
occasional plane in the sky
the twinkle in someone's eye
a musician's hands
small green patches of land
reluctant goodbyes
a birthday surprise
black and white floor tiles
genuine smiles
a familiar name
knowing some things stay the same
yellowed old books
reading them in nooks
familiar rambles
free ice cream samples
chronic back pain
compasses in your plane
the smell of shampoo
warm hugs and adieus
a fresh perspective
blogging when you're pensive
a big glass of milo
the way it sets your face aglow
sky lark seventy seven
well written fiction
postmodernist sentiments
artists and their reverence
the shallowness of time
the beauty of rhyme
the depth of eternity
pretending to be dainty
belonging on stage
bookmarking a page
turning twenty three
prancing around in glee
burger king at yishun
chinese rojak at nee soon
the thrill when you rehearse
drowning in verse
epiphanies in the rain
the melancholic disdain
writing blogposts past midnight
admiring the first light
the rush of performing
leaving the place humming
staring at the theatre
the backstage banter
the kindness of strangers
braving all dangers
cookies from subway
the memory of CFA
smelling your venmai sari
stumbling upon an old diary
wondering if i can still rhyme
yeap, still at my prime
the beauty of the written word
thanking god its literature i majored....




so yea. some of the things to live for. some lousy poetry galore! :P


okay...okay. i'll stop.
