10 Years Is A Long Time

Sometimes life exceed your wildest imagination.

Here's a post to mark this thought. 

See you in another 10 years.
Or earlier. One can never say for sure.

Neighbours in KL

I stepped out of the house this morning and saw my next door neighbour already waiting in front of the lift. 

We got into an already occupied lift and got out at the same basement level. 

I walked slightly behind her towards my parking, which was also adjacent to hers, when she suddenly turned around and said,"You kerja MRT jugak ke?"

Er, wait a second. That question sounds weird so why don't we hear that one more time. I replied, "Apadia?"

She repeated the question. Okay I didn't hear it wrong. 

I hesistantly said yes. 

"Rasa macam MRT jugak. Tapi tak pasti. You department offset kan?" she added. 

It took me one full second to realize that she works for the same company. 

And stays exactly next door. 

Creepy. 

Minus 6: Jitters of half a dozen

The moon has been written often,
its compared to more than once,
but this paper I have soften,
with inks and words that dance.

why do they dance and twirl,
why do they never stop for awhile,
as if they mock how I feel,
the turbulence, they wont die.

Die away and give way to calmness
but the heart desist to be calmed
it grows every second restless
it beats and beats in alarm.

Flowers they bring colours,
the sun, it brings warmth,
Love's one of life's wonders,
anything, a man for her doth.

There is nothing more to say, to write,
Words can't explain, they've no might,
What comes, will come alright,
and I will carry the ring to her, through day and night.


Less than a week.

mondegreen of Team, by Lorde

newsfeed never satisfy me,
the news are never new,
nor they drew me in,
reused words long past their due

we're living in cities,
building's highest earth has ever seen,
but we've never been so empty,
like a pod without beans

handshakes feels so foreign,
coz fingers are stuck to the screen,
scrolling, scrolling, scrollin
meals, meetings and the times in between

i know your phone's got retina 300 pix
but i'd prefer, look at my eyes when I speak
i don't know what's so interesting on insta
but I was just about, gonna, gonna..

say,


we're living in cities,
building's highest earth has ever seen,
but we've never been so empty,
like a soul without a seal.


oh the irony, is not lost to me, as I post it on a social site.
as the title suggest, the repeating verse is a mondegreen of Lorde singing her song, Team. link

Forecasts

it's supposed to snow tomorrow,

but it's raining tonight, instead.

rain patters on the pane,

tip tap, asking to get inside,

or to call me out

but I'm shielded in my sheets

toes curled and I'm balled

the night to you i bid,

goodnight, au revoir

it's supposed to snow tomorrow,

and I am laying in my bed,

in my sleep I'll dream of my dream,

a stroll along the strands of sands,

or to take you out.
