I spy with my little eye

Because Melbourne often promotes the Arts, they put up written pieces by various individuals on the trains. Just before I came back to Malaysia, I saw this piece.

It made me think of Jean so I scribbled it down on my notebook.

Rapunzel goes exploring

She's a delicate rose

Found in flowery prose

And I'm not her

He reads seductive books

Where those kinds of looks

Are all you need

I've always pretended

My words to be heard

A different end:

Rapunzel rolls up her sleeves

Cuts her hair, weaves

Her own ladder, leaves

by Rosanne Bersten

I like it lah.

'Let things be' tree.

I picked up a 'Rose is rose' comic book yesterday at MPH and found myself laughing and smiling as I flipped the pages. Feeling like some soul food again today, I looked for it online and have been reading it since. Ah, the joy of pictures and speech bubbles.

I want a 'let things be' tree to lean on too!

Man, I wish I could draw.

Poetry

Okay, so I thought I'll try some poetry. Jean has inspired me.

This is my first shot at a Villanelle. Do tell me what you think.

Gleefully dancing on his grave,

His sin, her justice, meet,

The revenge the bride once craved.

No act was quite so brave,

To stand on her own two feet,

Gleefully dancing on his grave.

Her life she almost gave,

To a heart that had no beat,

The revenge the bride once craved.

A road to hell is paved,

A spirit finally freed,

Gleefully dancing on his grave.

The demons cheer and rave,

The rich afterworld greets,

The revenge the bride once craved.

The cold body of this knave

Consents to his defeat,

Gleefully dancing on his grave,

The revenge the bride once craved.

24 hours

In less than 24 hours, I will be at home, sitting at the kitchen table, listening to the soothing sounds of the water in the pond, watching Mummy tell Cookie to sit, smelling the fragrance of the coconut milk in the nasi lemak I am about to eat....

OR

I could be sleeping in bed. In my bed.

I really don't mind either.

Home home. We meet again soon.

Cheesy much?

A while ago, back when I had hair like a boy's, my brother and I spotted 'the Kraft boy'. (See pic below). He had a really cheesy smile, which was funny, considering it was an ad for cheese. I'm pretty sure it was for Kraft.

My bro and I, being the people we are, attempted to copy this boy and his expressions. Most of you would have seen this already.

Edmund, my now married brother, posing next to 'kraft cheese boy' ad. I miss you Kor.

Me and my attempts. I must say, I came pretty close.

However, now, we have found another talent, who's quite the natural 'kraft cheese boy' imitator.

Our nephew-Mr Ethan Kim Tan.

Look at his cheesy face and his pose in that Korean inspired outfit.

Can you not see the potential he has to carry on 'kraft cheese boy's' legacy?

And if that's not enough. Just look at his doll eyes here.

Ahhh, it runs in the family.
