I like the oxymoronic nature of the sentences, and how the words show contrast to each other and yet made such sense. And above all, how we always lament/wonder about the 'ifs' in life, but fail to realise it is exactly how it is meant to be.
If by E. E. Cummings
If freckles were lovely, and day was night,
And measles were nice and a lie warn’t a lie,
Life would be delight, —
But things couldn’t go right
For in such a sad plight
I wouldn’t be I.
If earth was heaven and now was hence,
And past was present, and false was true,
There might be some sense
But I’d be in suspense
For on such a pretense
You wouldn’t be you.
If fear was plucky, and globes were square,
And dirt was cleanly and tears were glee
Things would seem fair, —
Yet they’d all despair,
For if here was there
We wouldn’t be we.

Beauty lies in the eye of the Lamborghini.
Haha. This Murcielago over here is just, mind blowing.
European supercars are simply first class.
I'm so into cars, somebody save me!
But then again, I don't wish to be saved.
Heh heh.
Went vivo/habourfront/suntec today.
Gotten this nostalgia over at habour. Suddenly those SA times came flooding back.
How we always slack at Subway/Mac/Yoshi after Odac.
Discussing about proposals, dry runs and just plain gossiping.
The people I am with,
Beautiful times, no one can deny
I wanna go back to those times again
=(

White Roses
The last rose of summer rests in my palm
Each crimsoned petal tranquil and calm
Sweet bite of thorns drawing pin pricks of blood
Essance of life adorning bloom from the bud
Something beautiful by a bit of me stained
To hold it a moment longer I'm willingly drained
Petals of white, to scarlet I lovingly turn
To understand its beauty, I silently yurn
Barbs of ecstacy puncture my hands
As I try to feel more, to meet its demands
The rose it becomes me, my body my soul
The rose is in you, your beauty your whole
The last rose of summer rests in my palm
Each crimsoned petal tranquil and calm
Sweet bite of thorns drawing pin pricks of blood
Essance of life adorning bloom from the bud
Something beautiful by a bit of me stained
To hold it a moment longer I'm willingly drained
Petals of white, to scarlet I lovingly turn
To understand its beauty, I silently yurn
Barbs of ecstacy puncture my hands
As I try to feel more, to meet its demands
The rose it becomes me, my body my soul
The rose is in you, your beauty your whole

Went swimming at clementi with aaron and ah heng. really nice sunny weather to take a dip in. kinda surprised that the pool today wasnt that crowded as i expected it to be. Swam like just 10 laps? haha feeling rather lazy to do serious swimming. Lazed around in the sun. Gotten this nice tan, am slight pinkish red now. Decided that swimming should be made a weekly activity in conjunction with these on off weekly badminton sessions. Therapeutic effect of the waters, leaving us relaxed, refreshed, and well, starving. KFC never tasted so finger lickin good.
Conversations with aaron. He concluded that nice guys are always on the losing end. His point: Girls are always attracted to those bad guys, who ill treat or giving them those i-dun-give-a-damn-abt-u attitude. okie that may be a more extreme kinda case, but his point was that girls don't feel attracted to guys who are nice/caring/concerned about them. It's beyond logical deduction of such attractions the supposedly 'bad' guys have on girls. But then again, love is illogical. Haha, interesting view point. And how about nice/bad girls? To us guys, we really don't give a damn. As long as you look like jessica alba, has angelina jolie's lips, a figure like scarlett johansson's, look that great in tennis skirts like sharapova, well nothing else matters. HAHA. alrite but of course, that isnt exactly true la.
Anyway, the above is just based on personal opinions/generalisations and for the last part, superficiality. Reasoning/coming to conclusions or even justifying love is entirely futile. That feeling, emotion is beyond definition. Words can only say so much. Humans are meant, and made to, experience this epitome of happiness, by default.
Two words to sum it up - nature's way. Or some would say - God's gift.

You know those voices in your head? Talking to you all the time in the day, telling you stuff that you want to know, stuff that u choose to ignore and stuff that brings you on an emotional rollercoaster ride. Self talk; the saint, yet devil, of the soul. Recently I've come to realise something about these chitter-chatters bombarding your ears silently. Everyone has total control of these voices, but few are conscious about it. If you choose/limit/control what you are talking to yourself, you may find that the result may be unexpectedly sweet, at the very least, satisfactory. Aligning these self talks to your personal goals may even see you breaking out of whatever cycle u are trapping yourself in. I think that the trick is to maximise the potential hidden within your soul, by consciously being aware of what you are talking to yourself, and what you are hidding away from yourself. Ultimately, you are the only person in this world who knows yourself best. If you do not, then i would think some kinda identity crisis you are in. And that, my friend, signals a time to hear yourself again, carefully. The answers are all within ourselves.
Takes time, i'm still searching for some of em.

Thought of the day:
Does form follow function, or function follows form?

"Zagato has recently released an image of their show car for Geneva, the Diatto Ottovu, which resurrects the Diatto brand for two keen collectors. The succinct press release gives little away, though the image shows a car sharing much in common with the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, suggesting a candidate for the donor vehicle. The concept also has 'eyebrows' above the wheels, rather like a Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing. Diatto is a brand that ceased production in 1923, not before having forged ties with Citroen, Maserati and Bugatti. There have been attempts at reviving the brand before - indeed in1924 it was immediately reabsorbed for the cars to continue racing, but only for another seven years. The Diatto name was reawakened in 1945 for what became a stillborn venture and in 1955 was taken over again. Last year Zagato produced the Ferrari 575GTZ for collector Yoshiyuki Hayashi."
Bertone Roadster concept
"Italian design house Bertone will reveal this little roadster at the Geneva Motor Show, which is based on the Fiat Panda 100HP. In concept and styling themes, much is owed to the Seat Tango concept from 2001, though the Bertone puts its two seats closer to the rear axle for more dramatic proportions. Otherwise, the most memorable feature is the light/dark graphics and the use of transparent door-panels.Further details are scant, but presuming the 1.4 liter engine is also shared with the Panda, expect the Roadster's top speed to be around 120mph, with 0-60 done in 9.5 seconds. The Bertone Roadster concept also marks the firm's 95th anniversary. Last year, Bertone revealed the Suagna concept, which used the larger Grande Punto as a platform."
Hyundai HED-4 concept
"4x4's have become for many shorthand for the cause of climate change, demonised as emblems of irresponsibility. To launch one that pats the environment on the back rather than stamping all over it in neutral, ergo pure, Switzerland is therefore a welcome repost to typical media hysteria. So alongside the unveiling of their new C-segment rival, the FD, Hyundai will present the latest example of their advanced vehicle research, the HED-4 concept. This is a crossover-SUV that benefits from materials developed in co-operation with GE Plastics. Designed in Germany, Hyundai also claim outstanding results in projected pedestrian safety levels. Styling-wise, the two-tone body of the sketch is split by the distinctive glass-graphic, with packaging not dissimilar to the Audi Steppenwolf concept of 2001. At any rate, let's hope the critics don't ignore the efforts some are making to counter their concerns."
