Blame it on literature

It is literature
Which shapes leaders
Good and bad
Eloquent tongues
Deceiving gestures
Convinced?
Confused?
Cheated!!!

Reporting for duty

Sprawled horizontally
Unable to move
Restrained impulsive moans
Not of ecstacy
Legs quivered
Hands shivered
Body ached
Brain drained
Nine months passed and not a single day regretted...

*Exhausted night on my first day reporting for duty on 2/7/2012

Bimasakti Menari** / The Dancing Milky Way

Dancing they were
Amongst the berembang tree
Cold charcoaled night
Arms stretched, palms opened
Ticklish endevours
Giggling immatures
Both kids and atoks
Trouble forgotten
Tie tightened
Love strengthened
Keep on dancing
Twinkling bugs amused

*A night out with kids and their grandparents at Kampung Kuantan Firelfies Sanctuary, March 2012. Do support the preservation of these amazingly beautiful God given creatures by donating to the sanctuary. Bimasakti Menari is a Malay connotation coined to describe the fireflies dancing against the blackest of night, roughly translated as The Dancing Milky Way.

**A Malay novel of the same name by Sri Rahayu Mohd Yusop

Is it worth the fight???

OMG!!! Don't tell me, we are now fighting because of KFC!!! Enough that we honked when people hogged the road.  Enough that we double-parked at roadside.  Enough that we cut the queue without apologizing.  Enough that we sat pretending to be dumb and numb in the public transport while a pregnant woman literally huffing and puffing down our neck.  Enough that we answered the phone so very loud that even 2 blocks away can hear us. Enough that we stopped at accident venue to help collect the 'durian runtuh'. Enough that we put everything in our plate at buffet table but left to waste with 50% of the food untouched.  Why did I use we instead of you? We are talking about us, ONE us.  Not only the Malaysian us. Despite race, religion, sex, philosophy...this is us. And please explain to me, why oh why must we fight because of KFC???

* This is actually an old post as a response to a harmless squabble between KFC staff and customer at one of outlets.  Google it and you might find the video on youtube

Maidless Encounter

Super duper mummy
But not super duper dummy

I do cook
Various dishes
Each day
Recipes from different
Continent
Ethnicity
Kitchen
Old town breakfast
Beriyani lunch
Tepi jalan nasi lemak
You name it
Ordered, paid, savoured

I do clean
Various parts
Each level
Nook and corners
Under and top
No furniture unturned
So hubby
Tell me again,
When exactly,
The time to be preccise
Your mum  is coming

The American Scholar

It was the American Scholar
Who guided me out
Of the sparse concrete jungle

I am saved
From braving the long lonely journey
On the road less travelled

What's so "Putra" about it?
Maybe
Only the scholar has the answer

Clever vs Stupid

Please don't make me sound
Clever
I prefer to be
Stupid
Rather than be known
Clever
I learnt best if I am
Stupid
