Slow dancing


choreography by wade robson

But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine

-"If you forget me" by Pablo Neruda

Promiscuous Monkey

I was greeted on msn with Isa going "HAHAHAHAHA VIEW MY BLOG"
And I saw this..



Like LOL.
Apparently Angela was on myspace and she saw my picture and Suicide Girl's picture side by side and she noticed the resemblance. There goes my good girl image. HAHA.
I'm promiscuous now. In fact, I was telling Isa that a few days ago my friend was like, "EH you put your this pic on facebook, you not scared your mother see ah??!" (cos my mum is on fb as well). And at that point of time, it wasn't really a big deal. Like nothing what, the picture's not very promiscuous. But after seeing the Suicide Girl image next to mine, its like OMGG.

HAHAHA.

Oh and one more thing.



*gives signature natee sad face* (HAHA)

Ya Logan I suck. Next time don't let you play Jellycar on my iphone. HAHA.

Between An Erupting Earth And An Exploding Sky






Working in the corner
Peeking over shoulders
Waiting for my time to come
Working in the corner
One day to the other
Butter for my piece of bun

PS I finally updated my photoblog (:

Funny la, some taxi drivers who try striking up conversations with you.
Most taxi drivers I know like asking me which school I'm from.
And when I say I'm from NYP, they tell me their son/daughter is from NYP too and takes engineering.
AHHA no kidding. It has happened more than 4 times, I swear.
Then they will proceed on to asking me if I've ever met their son/daughter and I will say no.
HAHA like how I know your son/daughter right?

Hahaha okay I shall end here. Just something to chuckle about at 129am on a Friday morning where Cherine's jokes are really cold.

Creative Writing Assignment

Assignment: To write an essay giving a detailed description of who you are, using no punctuation whatsoever.



Would you like to stop time rewind all the way all the way back to the beginning because it was then that everything really started that everything truly began that everything made sense that everything was everything

So now let us begin stop time hit rewind to go back to the past back where it started

Her name was Natasha Lim the little girl that God made quiet with an overactive imagination and whose world is filled with scary monsters under the bed and pretty dolls that open eyes and talk and tables with legs for walking and stars that fall from skies that you can keep in jars walkthrough mirrors that lead to another dimension just like Alice In Wonderland and she waits for the rabbit with the stopwatch for her to chase for her to be led into another world another place a whole new wonderland

She was afraid of dark spaces afraid of the monsters that lurked at dark corners especially underneath her bed afraid of the sea afraid that the spirits of the sea who did not like little children swimming around in their waters would reach up to grab her leg and she would disappear into the sea forever afraid of the bullies in her school that teased and taunted her till she cried and lastly she was afraid very much afraid of dying But all in all she was a happy little girl maybe quiet maybe with an imagination too overactive but she was happy and liked the quiet the noise the smell of musky cleanliness the smell of ice in the freezer she liked cartoons and laughing and liked talking about nothing at all liked talking about everything and also liked not talking she liked lollipops and ice cream and ferris wheels pretty things the smile of her grandmother and dressing up like an adult wishing she could grow up wishing she would be beautiful

Growing up she opened her half closed eyelids to realize the world was not the pretty little space she thought she knew but rather a vast void of darkness with pain and little by little she experienced the little stabs of life and its vileness such as the deaths of loved ones sickness poverty heartaches emptiness hopelessness school homework and all the many little mishaps that sums up reality but still with the love and strength of God in her heart she was strong enough wise enough contented enough and mostly happy enough

Scars of tumultuous events remain imprinted in her heart and mind but she chose to forgive to forget to let go to dream of happier things like maybe this world is a better place than what she thought that maybe this life held so much more meaning because it is a life with pain and suffering and that maybe through pain and suffering comes newfound strength willfulness and enlightenment Through all these she found the ability to open her mouth to release the inhibitions in her mind to love more to remember kindness and to display lovingness because she believed love is the only tool to heal the world

So fast forward a little now stop at the present and press play

Her name is Natasha Lim who was once the quiet little girl but she now learnt to speak her mind she still possesses the same overactive imagination she has not fallen in love yet does not know how to but wishes she knew Life so far for her has been extremely eventful and fulfilling and she is contented with being simple not anything unique but just plain and simple

Because being simple reminds a person of their place in this world reminds them to be humble and she believes by being simple and being who you are and loving and accepting people for who they are is the greatest thing a person can ever be

So this is me
This is Natasha
My story as of till now

-------------------------------------------------------
Comments and critique will be much appreciated! Because I have to collect 10 comments as homework for my next creative writing lesson! (:

Creative writing lessons ROCK with Mr Alex. Haha.
I felt it was one of the best lessons I've had so far, it rekindled my passion for words and it also jogged up the creative juices in my brain that have been dried up somewhere, dripping tiny drops only when I need it.
There were so many things Mr Alex talked about that I agreed with, like how words can mean the same thing but have different shades and tones that you must know how to manipulate and piece together like a heavily detailed art piece. And that he feels he can express himself more with words rather than with visual forms. Today, we basically sat around in a circle, just sharing about who we are. We read our essays out loud to each other, commented on each others...
Xinyi said it felt like those rehab centres, where they sit around and go "Hi, my name is So and So and I'm an alcoholic" and everyone claps. HAHA. Which was true! But it felt good and refreshing and it was really nice to see people open up and actually discovering the hidden parts of everyone in the class. Haha.

After CW class, hung around in school for a bit with Isa Bombella. Had a nice chat and semi lunch. And now I'm home, trying to go to bed soon, but having the itch to read the book Alex passed to us this morning. So cool la, he actually wrote that book and he said we had to read it and write a review on it by the end of the module. Which is 17 weeks later.

I read a bit of it when I was in my grandma's place but I actually fell asleep reading it HAHAHHA. BUT!! Not because it was boring but rather I was too tired.

*yawns*
Okay lah, I shall go get some shut eyes now. Meeting Xinyi tomorrow for sketching/picture taking/i dunno what else. Hahahahaha. NIGHTS. PEACE.

I hope my heart goes first.


I cannot emphasise enough that my body is a
Badly designed, poorly put together vessel
Harbouring these diminishing, so-called vital organs
Hope my heart goes first, I HOPE MY HEART GOES FIRST!
And we are beautiful, we are doomed

-We are Beautiful, We are Doomed by Los Campesinos!

-------------------------------
Jolie Laide

And you say your hearts not true in its deepest form,
I say girl, you're not looking at the world with clear sight
Maybe if I've shown you more to love there is to you
Maybe then we both could struggle and we both could fight.

And so you're bent on toilet seats unplugging atrocity
From your lungs and into the depths of chasms of beauty.
I know you did, and I feel like I should hurt when
We became slaves to worlds of mindless drugged up ethics.
Don't you know you're pretty when you are?

So maybe one more time, again I'll shout really loud
Into endless tones of seashell cones and maybe then
You would listen and stop this compulsive disarray of biting your tongue
Just so you can fill it up again.

These symptoms you purged with your eyes bloodshot
And that is when I start to worry because
I feel like everyone is watching with their best suits,
Their telescope eyes. Under scrutiny of a microscope, you and I
Are the only living organisms trapped in this complexity of humane violence.

You should know these thoughts are yours and value each day
Like those magazine pages that you stick in your closet
We live in this chaos of downfall and being beautiful
Just drags you down with it.

Shout at the world because you're beautiful.
Drown out the silence once you're through

This is what the world is for. Making electricity.

Electric Feel Music Video - MGMT




Hehe. I've had Electric Feel on replay ever since last week. I just can't stop listening to that song. Its so trippy and addictive, like drugs. And it makes me feel crazy. A good kind of crazy. Like really happy crazy. It also makes me wish I was a hippie. I wanna be a boho hobo and hand out flowers to cops, dancing and declaring "MAKE LOVE NOT WAR"

So grooooovyyyyyyy.
