Poem for me by Pee.

"Abysmal Depths"
----------------------------------------------
Your scuppernong skin haunts my sleep
Hungry ghosts roam sightless, tearing at scraps
I have fallen. I have fallen deep.

Acid letters penned with venom spit
Sealed stupid with careless crimson wax
Your scuppernong skin haunts my sleep

Guilt overruns from a fountain steeped
In sacrificial incense, a dead man's tax
I have fallen. I have fallen deep.

It will not do, this dying by degrees
The soul suffers, and sweet reason's entrapped.
Your scuppernong skin haunts my sleep

Phantoms linger for a return trip
To the colonnades, where shadows are black
I have fallen. I have fallen deep.

The turn of your eye, the curve of your lip
Forms a siren's song for the would-be-wrecked
Your scuppernong skin haunts my sleep
I have fallen. I have fallen deep.
-----------------------------------------------------
Dark words, grim imageries. Yet, apt is is, describing inner demons down to a tee.

We have all fallen, fallen deep, and in its very depths do we all weep.

voice of reason.

Voices has been telling me, singing a song in unison: Move on! move on! It breaks my heart, it tugs my soul, but I know I row a one sided boat. Perhaps as she said, I should give it a try. Perhaps as she said, the grass might be indeed better on the other side. Perhaps I should see her more neutrally. To shed the angel wings, and see her as a human being. Perhaps I should treat her with more dignity. To truly wait when I say wait. It is so hard. I shall just go with my gut feel for now. And let tomorrow be tomorrow's worry.

most @ wala's

I had the longest wait ever at wala's, waited for 1 whole hour at the queue... cos the pols raided the place or something. Had the longest interval too...very devastating start to the night... I had the most non-alcoholic wala session ever - only 1 bottle, cos I drove. It was also the most musically disappointing one.... wrong acoustic from where I was sitting. The music was indulgent, and the sounds were the same, but somehow it did not seem the same. Perhaps it was just me. Perhaps they sounded great but I was just too miserable to enjoy it. I had the most interesting company and supper ever too. Went to Crystal Jade's with yoyo's German fren from dragonboat and various frens accumulated over the years. The food was ok, and the small talk started ot get interesting when one of them began cross examining the others. And making sweeping statements, and try defending them. It was fun, to see her try. It was fun, to be rude and carry on separate conversations. Better even, to...

we r all eatable.

Charlie and the Choc was great fun... though it deviated from the book, I found the devaition quirkier, darker, and infinitely more interesting... And of course, the oompas were so so funny. LOVED the way they sang each time the kids got into trouble... loved the inhuman look on Depp's face. Does inifinite passion in pursuit of something, if untempered by famly, really make a person less humane? Perhaps. I find the thrust of the storytelling a bit unsuitable for kids though... the innuendoes were present, and it should not have been. And though it was meant to remind them NOT to be brats, I feel that the dramatics might have traumatized a few. Jess gloated about my fall. Insufferable ingrate! May all her Shanghai imitates fall apart! Muahaha. Scarlet was great, though we got there kinda late. Nice ambience, music, and very good service. Too good I think... heh, to the point of distracting... very charming and cute... a pity it was too dark to see the name tag.... Adel had a wet pas...
