Whatever happened to fairytale romances? Oh right, they only occur in *drumrolls* fairytales. "And they lived happily ever after", or so they say.
Why do most of us suffer from the absence of an almost perfect fairytale romance? Is the world so full of lies, mistrust, polygamy and more lies that the all-powerful LOVE can't even overcome and triumph? After all, they do say "love conquers all", don't they? But hell no, don't let your naivete get the better of you. There are so many ingredients needed to keep a partnership brewing well. Sometimes (most of the time?) it gets so tiring that don't we just wish we weren't such social creatures? Such suckers for love, attention, care and affection. God just had to preach LOVE, didn't He?
A barrage of questions, a lack of answers. And solutions, unfortunately.
Why do people stay together? What keeps these couples going?
Define the upturned triangle
For shapes no longer keep sight
With shifts and growth inside out
We change as fast as light.
Blank, empty, white and black
What does one actually see
Worry, fear and disappointment
Please stop mocking me.

I loved watching the Blacks dance to R&B/Hip Hop, and freestyle rap for me when we just sat down for drinks and to talk. It's so innate in them, the music and the rhythm. I mean, my 2 year old niece, Nailah ... she was playing on my bed and I started to play some R&B on my iPod speakers, she got so excited and started shaking her bumbum to the music. I am so serious. And my Singaporean friends say I'm a Black trapped in a Chinese body; my White friends think that I'm Black, even my Black friends say that I'm one of their 'homies' and I'm just a fair-skinned one. :)
Some photos that I have now ... can't access the rest since I don't have my iPod cable.
This White of mine looks darn good in her ghetto pose.
So that's us with our ghetto looks.
Farewell with my colleagues from Area 3, Cedar Point Games. Bootie call!
We refused to leave the bar, and made such a scene on the dancefloor.
Small Area to work in, but we became so close-knit.
My 2 nieces in Toronto. What do you call half-Chinese half-Blacks, if half-Chinese half-Indians are Chindians? Chacks???
This is my best friend in Cedar Point, she's Bulgarian. I miss you my dear Shibena Kutchka. Ker de si?!
Hangin' round downtown by myself
And I had so much time
To sit and think about myself
And then there she was
Like double cherry pie
Yeah there she was
Like disco superfly
I smell sex and candy here

For you, the straight-nympho-pothead:
Parting the cracks of time, looking in, realising that these gaps can be filled.
With tips of things that flash and blink, then all is lifted and the beautiful time we've awaited for will arrive.
We'll watch through those cracks with joy seeping through leakages along our inner beings.
A gliding path of growing love, so abundant of faith, want and misery too.
The ocean is massive, but the lands will merge and grow as one, just like our hearts.
The shrinking world bridges a once thought improbable companionship.
And till spring, both shall overcome with proud faces, each to call the other, "mine".

I dreaded coming to the States. I remember that, and I am sure my friends remember how I didn't wanna leave too. But I am so glad I did, although the first 2 weeks or so were hell here. We all need time to adjust to change, and to adapt. I have done so the past month, and now I have to leave this place. That makes me sad. It's frustrating how life and time move so fast. I met great people over here, and it is a pity that I only had a few weeks to be with them and to hang out with them. Maybe I'll come back again for the fourth time ... Just maybe ...
Anyhow, I am also disappointed that I'll miss Wendy. I didn't know you were going back to Singapore girl! And I'll only be home after you leave for Melbourne, damn. I'm sorry I'm not there for you in person. Everything really happens for a reason. Be happy :)
