the boredom of staying put in the house during the holidays
to imagine how much i've saved by having lunch at home
to think how much fun will i have if i were out with friends
i don't portray myself as a trapped soul
nevertheless in search of relentless freedom
that had constantly eluded me

yet in the comforts of my new computer, plasma tv & hi-fi set
what more should i ask for
but as human nature presides over our thoughts
laziness & greed awash
our minds & soul
uncontrollable & unpredictable it seems
even though we may make no effort to

the ramblings of daily slacking life
isn't the true joy of life
as the saying goes
live a fulfilled life
have a heart to serve others in need
there shall never be regrets
but who knows
every dying person has their own list of things left undone
wills left unwritten, year-end bonuses left unclaimed
but time is a heartless creature
no mighty power or tremendous riches is enough to turn the clock back
you may manipulate your own clock to be 5 minutes slower
but that just means the rest of the world is 5 minutes ahead of you
it makes no sense to do that
though i never doubt that there must be a fool on the other side of the Earth will do that
it's not an entirely stupid notion
just a dream harboured by some brave souls

never doubt the dreams of others
realise your own's first
before casting doubts over others' abilities
judge yourself before raising the passing bar for others
not another case of double standards

those following the news will know of this drug smuggling case
vietnamese in singapore whose an australian citizen
straining bilateral ties
leaving the australian public split over singapore gov decision
first driven by greed
now notoriety
unexpectedly attracting sympathy & compassion
that should have been reserved for yet another AIDS orphan

funny isn't it?
the world that we are in
or rather unwittingly find ourselves in

i absolutely can't imagine i wrote so much without a proper script
like i said it's just the daily ramblings of a teenage girl
no politically right comments
and shall never touch politics due to political apathy syndrome
it's not an illness
but has since affected the majority of local youngsters

that's all folks!
end of my crapping
this is life
