The Festival of Lights

Happy Diwali 2012!

Diseases everywhere, causing plagues and blights
Orphans and widows, the results of wars and fights
Life taken away easily, where are the human rights?
My eyes trying to look away, far from these sights

I am neither a peacemaker nor a holy knight
Trying to write a rhyme which is worth to recite
Making a kolam, with the pure colour of white
May the Earth baths in happiness, joy and lights...

Forced Shut Down

Surrounding myself with beautiful women keeps me younger...
(Hugh Hefner)


Flipping through the old photos which has turned brown
For years, no news from you, you don't make a sound
Old and wrinkled, I'm still the lad from that small town
Love is so abstract yet versatile, it can be verb and noun
From the photos, I saw you looking gorgeous in gown
You're holding hand with your king, wearing a crown
Seeing the happiness on your face, I smile like a clown
Memory's like a computer, which I can't forced shut down
Like our own shadow, it always follows, stalks and bounds...

Nostalgic November

Will you hold my hand and we will walk on earth again?

There's no sunshine in this dark, dusty chamber
Lying comfortably in my coffin bed made of timber
Many thought I was murdered and dismembered
There were memories which I still vividly remembered
When the villagers surrounded me, I was outnumbered
Today, I just woke up from my thousand years slumber
I can only remember what happened in my last November...

Piece Of Mind From A Rationalist - Rape and Sexual Assault


The conversations of some beasts...

Pedophiles, incestuous acts and rapes...These are what we always read and see in medias nowadays...Recently, I've read on the internet about a Pakistani woman sharing about her horrible experience and the despicable acts of the men in that country and I saw some religious men mentioned about this: "If a dog sees uncovered meat then it will eat the meat" or 'if women choose to be naked it is our right to rape them'. Well, these are some words spoken by shameless beasts from the land of the 'pure'.

As a man of rationalist, I felt disgusted and ashamed with what they said, because I never feel sexually-aroused when seeing ladies dressing sexily or provocatively. Men are born 'visual' creatures undeniably, so who doesn't love to look at bombshells in bikinis flaunting their curves at beaches or Victoria Secrets model - Alessandra Ambrosio, catwalks on stages? I admit that my eyes enjoy looking at them but  it never go extreme till I feel like committing crimes, such as rape or sexual assault. 

In my point of view, rape is a disgusting, horrendous, sadistic and sick act. No man, woman or child bring it upon themselves because of 'what they wear'. Rape is not all about clothing. It is an act of violence expressed when someone is in a position of power who is hunger for sexual pleasure. The sexual fantasy comes from that sadism to satisfy the hunger and thirst, not the actual person's nakedness or anatomy. Old ladies get raped, 'ugly' (the word 'ugly' here doesn't have a definite meaning) ladies get raped, pretty ladies get raped, young children get raped and men get raped. Sometimes, there are even cases where rapes occurred after marriage which will eventually lead to domestical violence. Like relationship, sex is not one-sided, it can only happen with the agreement of two adults. There's no love and passion in rape, only pain, scars and traumas. 

Sometimes, there are bullshits spewed by some 'fanatic human' that hijab protects ladies from rape, and those who do not wear hijab will be burnt in hell in afterlife. Or the fact that ladies in hijabs are somehow 'pure and chaste' than women who are not. To me, clothing does not mean anything, what matters are morality and faith (for those believers in God) deep within one's soul. I've seen and read about girls in hijabs had sex, took pills and drugs, getting involved in gangs or illegal racing. 

In some countries, such as Pakistan, women who are raped are considered to have dishonoured their families and have acid poured on their faces, poison forced down their throats, are stoned to death, shot, have their eyes, tongues or noses cut out, raped again and thrown away. That is how the land of 'pure' treats its women. However, I'm glad and happy that our country provides constant support and counselling to rape victims, helping them to get out of the traumatic past. 

As a conclusion, how ones dressed DOES NOT give you the right to rape or sexually assault them. If you tell all that you're a religious person, yet you don't have any self-control on yourself, you're nothing more than a beast. Only a beast will break through the chain, running loose and attacking human.

A Raining Evening

Let the rain kiss you. 
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.
 Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

Listening to the advice from elder, I am yawning
Grandma told me every cloud has a silver lining
Sitting at the couch, trying to define the meaning
Preventing the cheerful sun to keep on shining
Sinister dark clouds hiding the sun, very cunning
I am looking out of the windows, it is raining
Wondering what I can do in this cold evening?

When Love Meets Lie


Crossing paths...

You went and I cried
You rejoiced and inside I died
You smiled and I faked one
You will find many and I needed none

Thought you would miss me but I was wrong
In the end, thank you for making me strong
Things ended but still I care
You did hurt me beyond I could bear

You wanted to leave and you left
You thought I would be depressed, I bet
Survived the days where I preferred an unplanned death
I was broken beyond repair, where only darkness breath

I kept living everyday with might
Crying myself to sleep end of every night
You never bothered you moved on
I was just standing there all alone

Took me time to realise you are not the one
I cried thinking what's wrong I had done
It was good, it was bad, but that was all I had
Unfortunately, you are the one who made me sad

However, I guess it's time I let you go
Not going to die without you, I will show
Hey, you had all of me I loved you most
Guess you weren't lucky and you lost

I am going to live and will survive
You made me realised love's a beautiful lie
Trusting people again is difficult now
Did I have to trust again? But, how?

Hey, I am not going to sulk anymore
It's just only me I am going to adore
I am not going to get affected by your absence
Exactly the way you cared less about my presence

You may miss me but I wouldn't care
Yes, I have acquired this flair
You may be sorry for many things
But I would be thankful for beautiful things life brings

Nothing would now bring me low
I have become strong to just let you know
I have ruined my life enough
Now, its Time for me to have all the happy stuff...



*Always be our self and be honest with feelings when in a relationship*
*If we have spoken the 4 letters word, please use the 5 letters word, TRUST*

What's The Trouble On Your Mind?

Mood: Bad case of insomnia with an "unstable" mind...
Remedy: Listening to 苏打绿(Sodagreen)- 你在烦恼什么?(What's The Trouble On Your Mind?)
Causes of blogging: 101% Insomnia. I found this Chinese song meaningful and suit my mood. I hate to admit it I almost cry whenever I listen to this song, because it is a really touching one...As a result, I planned to translate the lyric into English language...and here it is:


The music video starts with a pitiful girl getting bullied by a group of girls...


There's no flower that never wither
There's no wave that never recede
There's no light that always shines
What's the trouble on your mind?

There's no scar that always stays
There's wound that always heals
There's no desperation that won't stop
So why are you feeling so depressed?

Time passes, leaving no traces
Life is not always full of conflicts
Never fear of every moment you spent
They formed the life you're living now...
